김태형
We're breaking up.


김태형
I think that's right.



전정국
What the hell are you talking about all of a sudden?


전정국
Break up? With whom?


김태형
I've been thinking about this since last year.


김태형
I was the one who got involved from the beginning.


김태형
You can't ruin your future with selfishness alone.


김태형
And... now I really have to study.


김태형
Yeoju too, you too.


전정국
Seriously, I'm a little kid trying to act like an adult.


전정국
Do you think you'll marry the heroine?


전정국
Why are you so upset about dating someone in high school...


김태형
Don't pretend to be some great person who understands everything.


김태형
You have to live your life too.


김태형
Don't care about me.


김태형
What if the female lead and I continue dating like this until we become adults?


김태형
In your 20s, everything was female protagonists to you.


전정국
......



전정국
No, but that's true.


전정국
I don't want to tell you to break up.


전정국
And also,


전정국
Even if the heroine breaks up with you, I'm not sure she'll come back to me.


전정국
Above all, the heroine we saw here was from her first year of middle school.


전정국
Rather than feeling rational,


전정국
I just want to protect you.


전정국
I want to be by your side.


전정국
So, don't even think about breaking up just because you think about me.


전정국
This isn't because I'm a big shot, it's because I'm thinking rationally.


전정국
You're so good as a female protagonist. You're so damn good.


전정국
Then let's date.


전정국
If you break up because of me, I'll be really upset.



김태형
...I feel strange these days.


김태형
fearful.


전정국
What, again lol


김태형
You're going to die exactly 10 years from now.


김태형
That in itself is so annoying.


전정국
If you change it, it's a pig.


전정국
No, maybe too much has already changed.



전정국
I, who lived without a mother and was neglected by my father,


전정국
I am living happily with my mom,


전정국
I spent my school days without a single friend,


전정국
You made two friends.


전정국
I just want to go with the flow.


전정국
I don't want to force my life to fit the flow of my past life.



김태형
......



김태형
Don't die.


김태형
Survive by any means necessary.


김태형
Got it?


전정국
You're being particularly babyish today.


전정국
Did I die, even in my dreams?



김태형
I don't know, but promise me anyway.




김태형
I will never die.



전정국
......


전정국
Okay, promise.


전정국
I'll keep my promise. Okay? Haha



김태형
......


Drumroll-


"Hey! The person who lives here in Hill Park!"


After finishing my conversation with Taehyung and going up to the classroom to prepare for the 5th period, a kid in the class next to me opened the door to our class in a hurry and shouted.


"Why are the kids living in Hill Park?" The kids muttered, wondering what was going on.


"Huh? I live in Hill Park. Jungkook, you live in Hill Park too."


전정국
Yeah. But why is that...


"Hey! What unit are you in?"

"It's chaos right now. Someone set fire to building 101 and ran away."


I felt dizzy. Why, why Building 101 of all places?



전정국
N, I... I... I'm in building 101...


Before I knew it, tears fell from my eyes. The children who heard me stamped their feet, wondering what to do. Meanwhile, others were looking up articles and telling me to hurry and go.


Why our apartment among all those apartments?

Why did a fire break out in our first apartment, after living in a house and a semi-basement for the two of us our entire lives?


Why did my mom have to do that at that time?


I wonder if he was at home.

A horrific arson attack occurred in Yeonhwa-dong, Seoul. The perpetrator, known to have long harbored resentment toward society, committed the fire while intoxicated.




전정국
Oh, Mom...


전정국
Mom! Mom, yeah, Mom...


전정국
Okay, I have to go in. Mom is inside.


"It's dangerous to go in now!"


전정국
Leave this alone, what the fuck, why is my mom...

Why of all people,


Was my mother's rescue the latest?

Seventeen, when spring was approaching and cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom beautifully.

At the time when I was making plans to go see the cherry blossoms with my mom,


Why, of all things, for this reason


I lost my mother again.
