Parting on a Rainy Day, Chapter 3. A Person I'm Grateful For. - short story collection

자까

Today's post is a bit strange. The content is really strange. It's really out of the blue and like that. There's a bit of swearing. I don't really know why it turned out like this- (trying to deny it) Ahem. Anyway, that's all for now!

Parting on a Rainy Day, Chapter 3. A Person I'm Grateful For.

Even my younger brother has left, so now I am left alone.

I sat on a park bench and cried my heart out.

How much did you cry?

Someone sits next to me.

I didn't really care and just kept crying.

After some time had passed and I had almost stopped crying, I heard a voice.

알바생

Are you feeling better now?

I looked to the side and saw you sitting there looking at me.

That convenience store part-timer at that time

알바생

I was just walking in the park and I saw a kid who looked like you crying.

여주

ah...

You are the one who tells me before I ask.

Even for such small things, I felt grateful.

I loved how you always gave to me.

Now, about a year has passed since I started feeling that way.

On Christmas day, the day we became sophomores in high school, you told me to come to 00 Park.

It was that park at that time.

The very park where you comforted me when I was crying.

There was a tree in the park and you were next to the tree.

알바생

Lady.

여주

huh?

알바생

That...you know...

여주

Why? What is it?

알바생

Hey... I like you, heroine. Go out with me.

I was very nervous because you were speaking so seriously, unlike usual, and then I was slightly flustered by what you said next, but I quickly felt better because I liked you too.

여주

I like you too!

알바생

Huh? You really mean that!

여주

Yeah! Of course!

알바생

Then today is the first day, Yeoju~ I love you

여주

me too!

We started dating like that and walked in the park.

I told you that I think it's time to go home now.

여주

00Ah! I'm going to go now!

알바생

Oh? Okay, let's go. I'll take you there.

여주

Huh? No! I can go alone! It's close to my house, and your house is the exact opposite of mine.

알바생

Hey, you want me to send my girlfriend alone this late at night?

여주

It's really okay...

No matter what... I'm so sorry...

알바생

"Hey, you don't have to be sorry. I'm your boyfriend now. A boyfriend is worried about his girlfriend, so he'll take her there."

I am once again captivated by your unique, languid voice.

We were spending happy days loving each other.

It was a truly beautiful love, literally.

But from some point on, the days I met you started to decrease.

You, who would have been the first to ask to meet up, have been avoiding contact with me for some time now.

When our love was starting to lose its color, I got a call from you.

알바생

Yeoju Lee. Let's meet at 00 Park at 7 o'clock.

He just hung up without even listening to my answer.

Although it was a little annoying that you called me by my last name and acted as if you were ignoring me, I quickly became excited because it had been a long time since I saw you.

It was around 6:20 when we arrived at the park.

It was still early, with 40 minutes left.

So, as I was walking through the park, I saw your back.

You came early too.

I slowly approached you to surprise you, who seemed to be on the phone.

As I got closer, I could hear your voice naturally, and for some reason, I hid behind the wall.

I hid behind the wall and listened to your story.

알바생

Hey. What are you doing today?

알바생 친구

Well, I don't do anything.

알바생

Then do you want to go to a club?

알바생 친구

Hey you have a girlfriend lol

알바생

I have it, but it's not fun. I'm just going to throw it away.

알바생 친구

What? LOL

알바생

I tried to play with it a bit, but it wasn't fun at all - if it wasn't fun, then what? I should just throw it away.

알바생 친구

Wow, this guy is really a bad guy, right? Haha

알바생

This is okay for her. She's still a stupid bitch who thinks I'm a good girl. And she's an orphan who doesn't even have a mom or dad. LOL

알바생 친구

Wow, you're such a piece of trash too.

알바생

Losing- Ah, anyway, he'll be here in a bit. Hang up.

알바생 친구

Lee Eung-

ddu-

여주

hey.

This is the first time I've called you so coldly.

알바생

Hey? You're here, Yeoju?

Yeoju? You were calling me by my last name earlier, so I guess you're right.

This is truly unbelievable. Isn't this too presumptuous?

알바생

Heroine, you know.

여주

Let's break up?

알바생

huh?

여주

Didn't we break up?

알바생

...

여주

Oh, this is ridiculous. What did you think of me until now? A toy you play with? Do you like playing with people's hearts like that? Is that really fun? You're such a piece of trash. I hope I never have to see you again. You're trash.
