Rose in the bush
Episode 5


Ryu Jin, who had already had a few drinks, told me what was on his mind in a dazed state.


신류진
You know, Yunseo...


신류진
Do you remember that guy you met in high school? The guy I dated.

I was very surprised by Ryu Jin's words.

Because I know how much Ryujin was hurt by that incident

It was almost like an unspoken rule between us.

But Ryu Jin was the first to bring up that matter.

I also haven't heard from Ryu Jin why they broke up.

At that time, Ryu Jin was so mentally exhausted

I didn't even have the courage to ask.

I can't forget that kind of thing, I replied.


노윤서
I don't remember. I can't help it.

Ryu Jin said with a bitter expression on his face at my answer.


신류진
You know, the reason I broke up with him was all because of me?

I couldn't help but be surprised by Ryu Jin's words.

It's not that guy's fault, it's Ryu Jin's fault

I listened to Ryu Jin's words.


신류진
Back when I was dating that girl, I had a male friend.


신류진
We fought because I didn't organize it clearly.


신류진
'I still remember, no, I remember. How could I forget?'

The first anniversary of you and me and the day we broke up

*The story progresses from Ryu Jin's point of view.

Our relationship began with his confession.

At first, I didn't think much of it, but he kept confessing to me despite my rejections.

Of course, that's not the only reason.


최수빈
You know, my name is Choi Soo-bin.


최수빈
I like you. Will you accept my confession?

Subin was considerate of me when she confessed, making sure I didn't feel uncomfortable.

I guess I was starting to like that look more and more.

But Subin also seemed to be feeling skeptical about my continued rejection and told me.

That kid was pretty popular too.


최수빈
You know... Ryu Jin-ah. If you say you're uncomfortable, I won't come to you anymore.


최수빈
I'll give up my heart too. I'll confess for the last time.


최수빈
Will you accept my heart?


신류진
Yeah, okay. I like you too.


신류진
Are we dating starting today?

Subin looked surprised at my answer.

When I held Subin's hand, her ears turned red.

I thought that Subin was so cute.

So, without realizing it, I secretly kissed Subin on the cheek.

I was surprised and quickly pushed Subin's back and greeted her.


신류진
Now that I've answered, go quickly.

I felt embarrassed and pushed Soobin out of the classroom.

Subin grabbed my hand as I was pushing it away and said.


최수빈
I'll wait for you in front of the school gate after school.

Our first love was just like any other, innocent and cute first love.
