The next day
세현 엄마
"Sehyun, dress more neatly."
이세현 (17살)
"Huh? Who are you meeting?"
이세현 (17살)
"Is this enough?"
세현 엄마
"Yeah, it's neat."
세현 엄마
"But didn't Min-gyu's mom buy you those clothes?"
이세현 (17살)
"Ah... right."
이세현 (17살)
"It was bought for me when I entered high school"
세현 엄마
"Are you doing well with Min-gyu?"
세현 엄마
"What are you doing these days without even showing your face?"
이세현 (17살)
"Hahaha... really?"
-
이세현 (17살)
"Who the hell are you eating with?"
세현 엄마
"Just wait a minute."
세현 엄마
"Oh, you're here?"
세현 엄마
"Long time no see, Min-gyu and Min-gyu's mom."
민규 엄마
"Yeah, how long has it been!"
민규 엄마
"We live next door, but I've never seen his face before."
이세현 (17살)
" ...? "
김민규 (17살)
" ...?!? "
이세현 (17살)
"Mom, is that the person you're eating with?"
민규 엄마
"Oh my, Sehyun."
민규 엄마
"These are the clothes I bought you! Do they fit well?"
이세현 (17살)
"Yes, you're wearing it well!"
김민규 (17살)
" under... "
이세현 (17살)
" ... "
세현 엄마
"Sehyun, stay with Minkyu for a moment."
세현 엄마
"Mom, I'll go talk to Min-gyu's mom."
이세현 (17살)
"Huh? Huh..."

민규 엄마
"Sigh... It's been 10 years today?"
민규 엄마
"The day the rate disappeared."
세현 엄마
"Yeah... right"
세현 엄마
"What does Gayul's mom do for a living?"
민규 엄마
"I guess he's still in that house."
세현 엄마
"I need to be able to see your face at all..."
민규 엄마
"That's right. Ga-yul disappeared and I haven't heard from him..."
세현 엄마
"Oh my... What should I do? It would be nice if Gayul and I went to school together."
민규 엄마
"That's what I mean."

The two of them sat awkwardly
I was just drinking soda.
이세현 (17살)
" ... "
김민규 (17살)
" ... "
이세현 (17살)
" that... "
이세현 (17살)
"How have you been?"
Sehyun was the first to speak.
김민규 (17살)
"As you can see."
이세현 (17살)
" ... "
이세현 (17살)
"I'm sorry about two years ago."
김민규 (17살)
" ... uh? "
Min-gyu was taken aback by the unexpected apology.
이세현 (17살)
"Actually, I was so scared at that time."
이세현 (17살)
"I felt like I had to push you away."
김민규 (17살)
" ... "
이세현 (17살)
"Still, still scared."
김민규 (17살)
"That means..."
김민규 (17살)
"You can still hear it...?"
이세현 (17살)
"..." (nod)
이세현 (17살)
"The day before, a woman appeared in my dream."
김민규 (17살)
" female? "
이세현 (17살)
"If I tell you what I hear, you'll be in danger."
이세현 (17살)
"That's why I pushed you away."
김민규 (17살)
" ... "
이세현 (17살)
"That woman came out yesterday too."
이세현 (17살)
"He said the same thing as two years ago."
이세현 (17살)
"He told me to find Kim Ga-yul."
김민규 (17살)
"Kim Ga-yul...?"
이세현 (17살)
"That's what the woman said yesterday"
이세현 (17살)
"I want to reconcile with you in order to find Kim Ga-yul."
이세현 (17살)
"If I'm with you, there will be more hints or something."
김민규 (17살)
" ... I don't really understand what you're saying."
이세현 (17살)
"I know, me too."
이세현 (17살)
"Same school, same class. Even the performance evaluations were in the same group."
이세현 (17살)
"There's nothing good about continuing like this."
김민규 (17살)
"You suddenly ignored me two years ago, and now you're doing this all of a sudden?"
이세현 (17살)
"I know I'm selfish and I know I don't fully understand the situation."
김민규 (17살)
"Why are you doing this when you know?"
이세현 (17살)
"...it's getting worse and worse."
이세현 (17살)
"It hurts more, it becomes clearer."
이세현 (17살)
"I live in pain every day."
이세현 (17살)
"Because I don't have a friend who knows my secret and protects me."
이세현 (17살)
"It was a little sad."
김민규 (17살)
" ... "
이세현 (17살)
"Am I being a little selfish?"
김민규 (17살)
"Yeah. A lot."
김민규 (17살)
"Then let's do well in this group project."
이세현 (17살)
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
김민규 (17살)
"What's there to be sorry about? You must have been scared."
이세현 (17살)
" thank you... "
김민규 (17살)
"By the way, when are the mothers coming?"
Tiring-
At that moment, a text message came from Sehyun's phone.
이세현 (17살)
"Unknown number...?"
김민규 (17살)
" ? "
이세현 (17살)
" what... "
{Unknown - Voice Message}
김민규 (17살)
" what? "
이세현 (17살)
"I don't know, voicemail?"
김민규 (17살)
"Listen."
이세현 (17살)
"Mom's voice...?"
김민규 (17살)
"Is there a voice in my mother's voice too?"
이세현 (17살)
" ... Let's keep listening."
- Oh my... It's been 10 years today?
- The day the rate disappeared
- Yeah... right
- What does Gayul's mom do for a living?
- I guess he's still in that house.
- I need to be able to see your face at all...

이세현 (17살)
" ...? "
김민규 (17살)
"Who sent this?"
이세현 (17살)
"I told you it's an unknown number?"
이세현 (17살)
"Look, it says unknown."
김민규 (17살)
"Who is sending this?"
Tiring-
After listening to the voice message, another text message came right away.
이세현 (17살)
"Here we go again..."
{○○ Apartment, Building 108, Room 802}
김민규 (17살)
" ...? "
김민규 (17살)
"Isn't this address Kim Ga-yul's?"
김민규 (17살)
"Room 802, Building 108"
김민규 (17살)
"It's the neighborhood right next to ours."
이세현 (17살)
" ... Right, I think that's right."
김민규 (17살)
"Why did this come...?"
이세현 (17살)
"Ga-yul's mom, are you still there?"
김민규 (17살)
"I don't know."
이세현 (17살)
" ha... "
김민규 (17살)
"But maybe he's still here."
김민규 (17살)
"I don't think you'd move away and leave a missing child behind."
이세현 (17살)
" ... That's right."
김민규 (17살)
"Shall we go...?"
이세현 (17살)
(Dori Dori)
이세현 (17살)
"Not today."
김민규 (17살)
"So when?"
이세현 (17살)
"Let's go next week after our group activity is over."
김민규 (17살)
" ...Why?"
이세현 (17살)
"If we go now, our mothers will come looking for us."
이세현 (17살)
"So I guess I'll have to make an excuse about going on a group activity."
