Seventeen Ways to Love
5: Sudden breakup


🎵🎶🎵🎶

School ended again today without fail.


박지민
Teacher.

윤여주
huh···?


박지민
Where does it hurt?

윤여주
···no?


박지민
But, both during the closing ceremony and now, why is your expression like that?

윤여주
I···?


박지민
Teacher... Are you hiding something from me?

윤여주
no?


박지민
Then smile.

윤여주
no···.


박지민
Look. Something's wrong, you can't even laugh. Because I got hurt earlier...

윤여주
Jimin.


박지민
yes?

윤여주
Go home, quickly.


박지민
No, I don't want to. I want to stay longer.

윤여주
Come on. Don't be so stubborn.


박지민
Why do you keep sending me away?

윤여주
Just come in quickly, that's my wish.



박지민
Seriously, why is that... Since you said it was a wish, I'll go in.

윤여주
···Thank you, take care, and have a good trip.


박지민
Why do you say take care?

윤여주
Oh, huh? ...Oh, I misspoke. Go in.


박지민
Okay, teacher, you go in carefully too...

'bang'

지민M
Is Jimin here?


박지민
yes.

지민M
Now that I mention it, you really came early.


박지민
Yes? What does that mean?

지민M
Your teacher didn't say anything?


박지민
Please explain clearly. What are you talking about?

지민M
I just said something.


박지민
What did you say?

지민M
I don't like you and I told you not to come near me.


박지민
Ha... Mom!


박지민
It's not that the teacher likes it, it's that I like it. Why would you say that to a weak-hearted teacher?

지민M
Weak-hearted? Do you really like me?


박지민
Yes, I like you. Seriously, why are you like that?

지민M
It's all for you. Jimin! Where are you going!!


박지민
Don't mind it.

지민M
It's no use going.

I stopped running to the teacher and looked back at my mother. It seemed like there was some truth to what she said about it being useless.


박지민
What did you say?

지민M
It's no use going. I told you to transfer schools, so they've already sorted things out.


박지민
Ha... ShiX.

I cursed briefly to myself in a low voice so that my mom wouldn't hear, and then ran out of the house.

지민M
Park Jimin!! Jimin···.

'bang'


박지민
No. Don't go, please...

I ran. I just ran blindly, as fast as I could. I had to run with all my might to stop the teacher. He couldn't go on like this. That absolutely couldn't happen.


박지민
Where is Teacher Yoon Yeo-ju? Yes?

부장쌤
Already tt···.


박지민
Do you know where it went...?

부장쌤
I don't know... because he suddenly said he would quit.

I hurried out and ran around the school and the entire area without stopping. But Teacher Yeoju had already left me.



박지민
Ha... where did you go...

One year, two years, then three years. Three years passed, and yet I still couldn't find Teacher Yeoju. Three years flew by, as I continued to miss her, never forgetting her. I wonder when I'll ever find Teacher Yeoju again.

If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up.
