One Piece of Moon

12. It hurts

한유월

I'll be back.

Yuwol left the house with heavy steps.

한유월

How am I supposed to look Woojin in the face...

박우진

let's go,

한유월

uh..

Woojin looked at Yuwol, who was walking listlessly, with wonder.

박우진

What's wrong?

한유월

I'm not sure.

한유월

But wouldn't that be the case?

박우진

What's wrong with you? Seriously, you look like something's wrong.

한유월

There was... something happened...

박우진

What is it?

한유월

Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know?

박우진

??

박우진

Ah, by any chance, the day before yesterday I... you weren't here... *cough*

Yuwol was surprised and covered Woojin's mouth with her hand.

한유월

Do you remember???

박우진

of course.

한유월

Forget it quickly

박우진

Are you like this because of that?

Yuwol ran to school like crazy.

Woojin followed in confusion.

As Yuwol crossed the road, Woojin pulled Yuwol's wrist.

And the car sped past in front of Yuwol's eyes.

Woojin turned Yuwol's body to face him.

박우진

Hey!!! Are you crazy??

박우진

Do you realize you almost died just now?

한유월

Still, it's embarrassing. What am I supposed to do?

박우진

What's so embarrassing about it?

한유월

Just everything..

박우진

Aren't you ashamed of acting all silly all the time?

한유월

Ah, I don't know...

박우진

I wasn't tired.

박우진

You looked pretty even when you were sleeping.

박우진

So let's just go to school.

한유월

You said she was pretty?

박우진

......

박우진

..uh

Woojin headed to school ahead.

한유월

Han Yuwol is crazy..

한유월

I think I really charmed you.

한유월

Was she really pretty?

한유월

really??

한유월

Really???

박우진

How many times do I have to tell you?

박우진

I'm telling you, that's what happened..

한유월

What do you mean?

한유월

Should I go to sleep now? Sleep all day, please?

박우진

Is it that good?

한유월

of course

한유월

Of course I'd like it if someone I like told me I'm pretty.

박우진

-Snicker

During class,

한유월

My head hurts..

Yuwol, feeling a headache, quietly leaned his head on the desk.

박우진

Are you sick? (-whispering)

한유월

My head hurts... (whispering)

Woojin gently placed his hand on Yuwol's forehead.

박우진

Do you know your head gets super hot? (-whispering)

한유월

I'll just get a quick nap. (Whispering)

한유월

You get prettier when you sleep.

Woojin patted Yuwol.

박우진

Then go to sleep quickly. (-whispering)

박우진

I'll show you the notes I took for the class I missed. (-whispering)

박우진

Alright. Hurry up. (-whispering)

박우진

Are you still in pain?

한유월

little...?

박우진

Look

Woojin touched Yuwol's forehead once more.

박우진

It seems hotter than before.

박우진

You should have just left early..

한유월

You have to watch this

박우진

Oh my

박우진

Are you at home, brother?

한유월

uh

박우진

That's a relief.

박우진

Go inside and rest.

한유월

Thank you, Bagujin

The next day,

김 솔

Teacher, where did Yuwol go?

반애들

Seriously, why isn't June coming?

선생님

Yuwol is sick so she can't come today.

선생님

He kept lying face down yesterday too.

선생님

They say he caught a bad cold.

박우진

...

김동현

Hey, are you worried about Park Woojin?

박우진

.....uh

김동현

박우진

한유월

박우진

한유월

박우진

박우진

!!

Yuwol collapsed as she opened the door, and Woojin was surprised as he caught her.

박우진

Han Yuwol...!!!??!

The first thing I felt while taking on June was

It was June's body, heated up by the fever.
