Are you here? You're a little late today.

정수연

Yeah, I slept a little late today.

I slowly sat down next to Kim Jae-hwan.

정수연

Sorry. Did you keep me waiting long?

Kim Jae-hwan shook his head as if to say no.

김재환

How was your day? Did you have a good time with your friends?

정수연

Today wasn't too bad. How was Jaehwan?

김재환 image

김재환

Um... well, me too.

김재환 image

김재환

By the way, why did I bring you to the sea?

정수연

Um... you want to play with me?

김재환 image

김재환

Hey, that's obvious.

김재환 image

김재환

I brought it here because I came here a lot when I was young.

정수연

Oh... a place filled with memories isn't bad either.

today...

...

Tiring-tiring-

Click-

My head went blank when I heard the alarm sound.

정은지

Hey! Jeong Su-yeon!! Mom came and told me to eat!

정수연

He said he'd be leaving soon!

Haaam-

I yawned once and felt a little more awake.

I slowly got up from bed, sat down at my desk, and started writing in my diary.

September 26, 2021. Judging by the setting sun, it is estimated to be around evening.

Today, I took Jaehwan to the beach where he has childhood memories.

We sat by the sea, chatted, and played as usual.

I always feel this way, but I also wish he was my real friend, not just a friend in my dreams.

It's rare to find a friend this compatible in real life.

정은지

Hey, I told you to come quickly.

정은지 image

정은지

...Today, Jaehwan was taken to the beach, a place of childhood memories? What is this?

Tup-

My face flushed and my heart beat faster as if I had discovered my dark past.

This girl comes in all of a sudden... and doesn't listen even when I tell her to knock every day.

정수연

Oh, forget it. Get out!

정은지 image

정은지

Phew...Poohahaha, do you write fanfics or something?

정수연

Ah, get out!! Come on! This isn't fanfiction, is it? I'm just recording my dreams.

정은지 image

정은지

Oh, really? Use it a lot~

Ha... A person like my sister is really not helpful.

What if I have dreams like this? No one believes in me all the time.

정수연

And Jaehwan said this? Isn't that funny?

정수연

Oh right, Jaehwan took me to the beach today...

권은비 image

권은비

Ugh, Suyeon, let's stop talking about something else. You always talk about that guy Kim Jaehwan...

정수연

Um... Really? I only did it twice today. And you liked talking about dreams, didn't you?

권은비 image

권은비

I liked it at first. But it was a bit boring because the content was too repetitive.

정수연

Hmm, yeah.

Eunbi and I walked to the classroom awkwardly and coldly, as if we had fought.

Did I do too much? I'm not sure.

plodding-

On my way home after school, I wanted to take the main road instead of the shortcut, so I was listening to music on my earphones and heading towards the main road.

There were a lot of cars on the main road, and they seemed to be going so fast that it was strange.

정수연

Well... just wait and then pass.

As I was humming along to the song and waiting for the car to pass quickly,

Kkieeeeeeeeeek-

A large car skidded towards me as if it had stepped on something wrong.

I needed to run, but my feet wouldn't move. My legs felt like they were broken.

"Hey!! It's dangerous!!"

puck-

I was able to avoid hitting the car thanks to someone pushing me.

김재환

How dare you stay still when such a big car is rushing at you? Where are you thinking?

정수연

Kim Jae-hwan...?

김재환 image

김재환

...How do you know my name?

I raised my head at the sound of a familiar voice, and Kim Jae-hwan, who had appeared in my dream, was standing in front of me.

Permeate dream

Nice to meet you
