Someone precious to you (short story)
Revenge Begins (Medium)



전정국
"Good night, my lady."

I was more surprised by how Jungkook's attitude changed in just one day.

Yesterday was Wednesday, today is Thursday

So, in short, it means that even on a weekday, the hospital is taking care of me.

How many times have I trembled in fear, how many times have I cried alone in the bathroom?

I don't know if it was because I thought I was wrong, but I was even more scared by how you changed in an instant.

I steeled my resolve. I was so pathetic, I was annoyed by Kim Yeo-ju, the reason we broke up, and I wanted revenge on Jeong-guk, whose cold gaze still lingered.

Jungkook went out, telling me to take a nap.

After organizing my thoughts like that, I took up the hand of evil.

The person who is precious to you is Kim Yeo-ju.

Jungkook, instead of Kim Yeo-joo, I want to be that precious person.

One week later.

They said it was just a crack in my wrist and that it would be fine in about three weeks.

He said that he had a bad head injury and that he would sometimes not remember things, and that his aphasia was temporary(?) and would last for about a year.


전정국
"Hey lady!"

김여주
"why?"


전정국
"No, not you..."

When I looked back, Jeongguk was standing there.

I felt a sense of victory in seeing the attitude clearly different from before, which was nice.

김여주
"...Ah, you're talking about the female lead..."


전정국
"...And, I'm sorry, but please don't come to our class for a while. I won't be able to play with you if I take care of Yeoju..."

...As expected, it's for Kim Yeo-ju's sake...

A slightly bitter smile formed.


전정국
"Hey, do you want to go to the store?"

Nod-

So we stood up, held hands, and went to the store.

I don't know when she arrived, but Kim Yeo-ju was walking down the hallway with her classmates, holding a piece of bread in her hand.

Realizing that this was a direction where Kim Yeo-ju and I could collide, I immediately put it into action.

2 seconds before impact

1 second

puck-

The body leaned forward.

Then Jeongguk pulled me towards him.


전정국
"are you okay?"

Although he was talking to me, his gaze was directed at the female protagonist.

And Kim Yeo-ju's pupils dilated and she tried to approach me.

He raised and lowered the corners of his mouth slightly and then began to act.

Just crying.

Feeling that, Jeongguk gave Kim Yeoju an even colder gaze.


전정국
"What are you trying to do now? Are you hitting me on purpose? Can't you see straight ahead? Hah...fuck... Kim Yeo-ju, you act like you're close to me, but whenever we run into each other in the hallway when I'm not around, you hit me like this on purpose?"

김여주
"Jungkook, no... really... really not..."


전정국
"What is it? You can tell just by looking at it."

When I saw the female protagonist at these words, tears welled up in her eyes.

Our eyes met.

Oh, of course with Kim Yeo-ju.

I gave him a wounded look.

The friends who were standing next to Kim Yeo-ju looked at me and asked if that was really true before leaving the place.

And the kids next to her were also busy cursing at Kim Yeo-ju.

I didn't know this look would be an advantage here...

I felt pretty good.

Let's act a little more exaggeratedly.

I held Jeongguk's hand with tears in my eyes and led him to the classroom.

Then it seemed like he was following me,

He went ahead and went to the corner of the stairs at the end of the hallway.

...

My head hurt.

I think I met someone here...

It seems like there were some good memories.

A feeling of emptiness, as if something is missing

That was exactly the feeling.

So I ended up hesitating.


전정국
"are you okay?"

Jeongguk's expression remained unchanged as if he was very angry.

My head hurt, and for a moment I thought this.

People are stupid animals who believe only what they see...

It made me feel a little dirty that one of those animals was me.


전정국
"Kim Yeo-ju must have tormented you so much that you're sitting here, crying..."


전정국
"I'm really... sorry... I didn't recognize you and only cared about that kind of girl..."


전정국
"under..."

After seeing that, he made a face that seemed quite painful, and then smiled.

The expression on his face before he started laughing... seemed to come from sincerity, which made it even more bitter.

Now you're finally looking at me...

The next day.

In one day, the story about Kim Yeo-ju spread throughout the school.

When I enter the hallway, there are even friends who comfort me by saying how much I've had a hard time because of Kim Yeo-ju.

He became very arrogant.

김여주
"..."

The female protagonist was waiting for me in front of the half-door.

As soon as he saw me, he took my injured hand and led me to the rooftop.

You stupid bitch, you're being considerate of a bitch who calls you crazy...

The rooftop door was locked, so I stopped in front of it.

I looked towards the stairs and saw that the kids were hiding, as if they had been chasing me.

김여주
"Why are you acting? We used to be close. But why are you suddenly like this? Hey!!!"

After looking at the stairs, the female protagonist, who couldn't hold back her anger and screamed,

I trembled and slowly stepped back.

Towards the stairs.

Anyway, the stairs are short, only 5 steps, so if you fall, you'll probably end up in the emergency room if you're seriously injured.

김여주
"Where are you going! You have aphasia, don't you?"

He watched Kim Yeo-ju's voice getting louder and louder, then he chuckled softly and walked backwards, trembling and shedding tears.

Just before I fell, I closed my eyes.

With the sound of rough footsteps and breathing, I was held in someone's arms.


전정국
"What are you doing, Kim Yeo-ju?"

김여주
"Jeong...Jeongguk, that's..."


전정국
"Stop making excuses and tell the heroine what you did."

김여주
"Jungkook, Kang Yeoju, open that."


전정국
"If you call Kang Yeo-ju that, I don't know what to call you."


전정국
"Trash bitch"

김여주
"Jungkook, how could you... You like me! No?! I like you too! But how!"


전정국
"When did I ever say I liked you? It was a fleeting feeling. So I treated you well just in case, and today it's finally clear. We didn't know each other."

After saying that, Jeongguk hugged me and left the place.

김여주
"Kang Yeo-ju!!!!! Don't leave me alone!!!!!!"

Leaving behind the voice of Kim Yeo-ju, who was filled with anger.

Kim Yeo-ju,

I won.

Jungkook,

I know you liked Kim Yeo-ju.

I know that Kim Yeo-ju was more precious to you than a friend you've known for years.

But I also know that you regret it.

So, I'll just close my eyes and let it go.

Oh, don't blame me later when you find out about this.

It was you who started it all.


전정국
"Lady... ha... I'm sorry... really..."

I held back the corner of my mouth from rising.
