The ground is going to collapse.
김태형
What's up with you these days?
김태형
You don't study well... You seem to think too much...
전정국
just.
전정국
Not knowing the future isn't always a good thing.
김태형
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
김태형
What's really going on?
전정국
No, nothing.

Your mother works at Anby Company?
김여주
Yeah... why are you so surprised...?
Anbi Company. This is the company where Hyunsuk's aunt worked.
I finally found out why the female protagonist, whom I had been so curious about, transferred here early.
Originally, in the past, since Hyunsuk's aunt hadn't died, there wouldn't have been any jobs at the A&B company. So, later on, a job came up and they moved here.
But after I changed the past...
Hyunsuk's aunt passed away, and naturally, a job at A&B Company arose. Yeoju's mother also got a job there, so she transferred early.
Even the smallest things change the past relentlessly. Just a few days ago, or even just a few hours ago, I was racking my brains trying to save Yoon-soo, and I found myself reflecting again.
It is also Yunsu's fate to become a murderer and commit suicide 10 years from now.
I must never be touched carelessly.
Thump thump-,
전정국
Oh... it's raining.
전정국
It's been so long since the midterms and now it's the finals?
전정국
Middle school life in Korea is tough, tough.
Even though it was early evening, perhaps because of the bad weather, it had been pitch dark outside for quite some time. Just as I was about to shower to keep my mood from being swayed by the weather, the doorbell rang loudly in the quiet house where I was alone.
전정국
who are you?
'......'
전정국
......? what.
Ding dong-,
There was no response to my question about who it was, and he just kept ringing the doorbell. Angered, I raised my voice and hurled the door open.
고윤수
......
Yunsu was standing in front of the door.
He was soaking wet as if he hadn't brought an umbrella, and rain was dripping from his clothes. Around his bloodshot eyes, there was water that was either tears or rain.
전정국
Yunsu...!
전정국
What's going on at this hour...
고윤수
......
고윤수
How did you do it?
전정국
...M, what is...
고윤수
Full marks on the performance evaluation, full marks on the midterm exam...
고윤수
At school, all I do is play all day...
고윤수
How did you do it?
Even though I was twenty-seven years old, I was terrified when I saw Yoon-soo's gaze.
Because that one feeling of threat, as if it would kill me at any moment, took control of me in a short time.
