one side love
03. Why are you like that?
This is the author's point of view.
Chocolate milk and chocolate bread on the desk where the female protagonist was lying down. And a yellow post-it note.
The pretty writing on the post-it note read:
전정국
<I'm sorry... I think you didn't finish your meal because of me... Eat this. You're hungry.>
박여주
Ah.. Jeongguk left it behind.. It really didn't have to be like that..
The second thing that Yeoju had bought for herself was the second, and what bothered her the most was the words that Jeongguk had said sorry.
박여주
How did you know I like chocolate bread and chocolate milk? I wonder if you spent money on me for nothing.
The female protagonist was feeling sorry for Jeong-guk spending money on her.
박여주
I must definitely thank Jeongguk when he comes later!
As I was finishing the chocolate milk and chocolate bread that Jungkook had given me, the kids started coming in one by one, as if they had finished eating lunch, and before I knew it, the class was noisy.
But Jungkook was playing soccer outside, and Yeoju was sitting by the window, looking only at Jungkook.
김예림
Park Yeo-ju! Where are you looking?
박여주
Huh..huh?? I can't see anything!
김예림
Why are you surprised? Like you got caught doing something weird.
박여주
Ahhh, I don't know. Wake me up when class starts.
김예림
Yeah, sleep well haha
Yeoju looked at Jeongguk outside the window and felt a pang of pain when she heard Yerim's words.
Perhaps because of that, Yeo-ju asked Ye-rim to wake her up and fell asleep while lying down on the desk.
(Knock knock knock)
It was Jeongguk, not Yerim, who started to wake Yeoju by knocking on the desk where Yeoju was lying.
전정국
Yeoju, wake up. Park Yeoju.
박여주
Uh...um...Mom, just 5 minutes...
전정국
What should I do? Haha I'm not a mom.
박여주
Huh? Then who is... Jeon Jungkook!? (jumps up)
전정국
Uh.. huh? That's right, Jeon Jungkook.
박여주
Why...why did you wake me up??
전정국
Ah.. Your friend Yerim, she said she couldn't come to 5th period and asked me to wake you up.
박여주
Ah... thank you. But do you know where Yerim went?
전정국
I heard you're going to the infirmary
박여주
Yerim went to the infirmary?
전정국
I said I was going to the infirmary because my stomach hurt.
박여주
Then I should go to Yerim...
전정국
After class ends. Class starts a little later. It's English.
박여주
Ahhh... English ㅠㅜ
전정국
Do you hate English?
박여주
Oh, I really hate it... Aaaah...
Ding dong dang dong (it's the bell)
While Jeongguk and Yeoju were having a long conversation, the bell rang and the teacher came in.
선생님
Okay, everyone, take your seats and let's start class. Open your books.
About halfway through the class, Yeoju suddenly remembered the chocolate bread and chocolate milk that Jeongguk had given her for lunch.
<> is a written dialogue between Jeong-guk and Yeo-ju.
박여주
<Jungkook, thank you for the chocolate bread and chocolate milk for lunch.>
전정국
<Did you enjoy the meal?>
박여주
<Oh. It was absolutely delicious. I absolutely love chocolate milk and chocolate bread!>
전정국
<That's good then.>
박여주
"Thank you so much. I saw you at lunch and you were so good at soccer."
전정국
<Did you see it?>
박여주
<Oh... that was totally awesome!>
전정국
<If you're really that awesome, you should come watch me play soccer every lunch hour..>
박여주
<Uh.. can I go??>
전정국
Come and cheer for me. Then I'll win without conceding a single goal!
박여주
Call! If you still can't win despite my support, buy me something delicious from the concession stand!
전정국
<Okay, come on. But if you win, you shoot!>
박여주
Okay, call! I'll be going tomorrow!
After Jungkook and Yeoju finished their conversation in writing, there was only one minute left in class.
박여주
Yay! One minute left in class! (whispering)
전정국
lol
박여주
(Knock knock) Why are you laughing, Jeon Jungkook!? (Whispering)
Ding dong dang dong
선생님
Class is over. Take a rest.
전정국
Haha ...
박여주
Why are you laughing?
전정국
No lol
박여주
Ah! That's right! Kim Ye-rim!
(Knock knock knock)
Yeoju knocked on the door of the infirmary and entered.
박여주
Where is Kim Ye-rim?
민윤기
Hey... Park Yeo-ju?
박여주
Huh? Aren't you Jeon Jungkook's friend? Why are you here?
민윤기
Ah... It's nothing. Kim Ye-rim is here.
박여주
Ahh.. thank you.
민윤기
I'm leaving. Don't tell Kim Ye-rim that I was there.
박여주
Oh, okay, bye..
Yerim was sleeping soundly, and Min Yoongi, a friend of Jeon Jungkook, was sitting next to her. Yoongi asked Yerim not to tell the female protagonist that he was there with her.
김예림
...Yeojuya
박여주
Huh?? Are you awake?
김예림
uh..
박여주
Where does it hurt?
김예림
My stomach hurts...
박여주
why?
김예림
Today is the day I become a wizardㅠㅜ
박여주
Oh... You took the medicine and slept until now?
김예림
maybe?
박여주
Are you going to the next class?
김예림
That's how it should be, right?
박여주
Let's go! Get up.
김예림
Okay, let's go.
Yerim woke up a little while after Yoongi left, and Yeoju headed to class with Yerim.
Yeoju and Yerim arrived at the classroom and sat down.
민윤기
are you okay?
김예림
Huh? Huh..
박여주
Were you and Yerim's match?
민윤기
Oh, do you get it now?
박여주
Uh... I'm out of it today...
박여주
But why is he like this? Why is he lying down?
민윤기
I don't know, maybe I'm tired..
박여주
I see. Should I just leave it alone?
민윤기
maybe?
Ding dong dang dong
Then the paper struck.
박여주
What should I do... Should I wake up Jungkook?
(Shake shake)
박여주
Jeon Jungkook...! Wake up!! (whispering)
전정국
...
박여주
Wake up! (whispering)
When Jeong-guk wouldn't wake up no matter how much Yeo-ju shook him, Yeo-ju used a different method.
박여주
Jeon Jungkook, if you don't wake up now, I won't be there to cheer you on tomorrow! (whispering)
전정국
(jump)!!
Jeongguk jumped up, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Yeoju.
박여주
Just kidding~
전정국
Was that a lie?
박여주
Oh lol
전정국
Ah.. what is it.. ㅡㅡ
박여주
I woke you up because class started haha. Weren't you asleep? Or did you wake up and pretend to sleep!?
전정국
Hmm... the latter? But that was really too much! How could you wake me up like that?
박여주
Hahahaha.. so cute..
전정국
what?
박여주
It's nothing..
The method chosen by the heroine was the cheering promise made tomorrow, and that method worked.
Jungkook and the kids woke up like that and finished their long class.
As I was absentmindedly attending class, the regular class ended and the homeroom teacher came to give the closing remarks.
선생님
There are no special ceremonial matters. Goodbye.
The cool homeroom teacher sent them off, and the children swarmed out the school gate.
As Yeoju and Yerim left the school gate, two low-pitched voices called out to Yerim and Yeoju.
민윤기
Kim Ye-rim!
전정국
Park Yeo-ju!
박여주
to..?
김예림
Huh?
민윤기
Can't we go together?
박여주
Uh.. I don't mind.. but what about you, Yerim?
김예림
I'm fine haha
전정국
Then we go together every day!
박여주
okay..!
Yeoju and Jeongguk were on the same bus, and Yerim and Yoongi were on the same bus.
박여주
Jungkook and I will go first!
민윤기
Okay. Bye.
김예림
See you tomorrow, Yeoju!!
박여주
Yeah yeah, be in front of the school gate by 8 o'clock tomorrow!!
김예림
Okay, I understand.
박여주
Then I'm going!
전정국
I'm going Min Yoongi.
민윤기
Oh, bye.
They split up like that, and Yeoju rode the same bus as Jeongguk.
Yeoju got on the same bus as Jeongguk and ended up sitting together in a two-person seat.
박여주
...
전정국
...
A single, low-pitched voice is heard while both of them are looking out the window in silence.
??
Hey... it's so pretty, but can I have your number?
The female protagonist took the phone and quickly dialed the number.
전정국
Lady, please give me your number too.
박여주
Huh? You want my number??
전정국
uh..
박여주
Give me your phone.
전정국
Here it is.
Yeo-ju took Jeong-guk's phone and dialed the number.
And then the female lead whispered in Jeongguk's ear.
박여주
This is my real number. (whisper)
전정국
!?
박여주
No... I didn't give my number to the person who asked for it earlier. (whispering)
When Jeongguk heard that, his ears turned red and his cheeks turned red.
