“Sorry, I’ll go first.”

Taehyung stood there dumbfounded even after Woorim left.

김태형 image

김태형

…why,

김태형 image

김태형

Why are you crying

김태형 image

김태형

Even if something unfair happened to you or you heard bad things about yourself from someone, you were the type of person who didn't cry easily.

This was only the second time I had seen Yeo-rim cry.

Even though we've known each other for over 10 years, the tears Yeo-rim has shown me are still like that.

The tearful fox forest is so unfamiliar to me.

However, that unfamiliar feeling brought back old memories of mine, regardless of my will.

Yeorim was a child who did not express her emotions well since she was young.

Six years ago, 11-year-old Yeo Rim…

등장인물

“Yeorim, you did it!!?”

The child thrust his face, which was red and swollen, into the fox forest without thinking.

여우림 image

여우림

Not me

등장인물

“I was in the classroom until the end!!”

여우림 image

여우림

Does that prove that I am you?

등장인물

“Then where did my perfectly fine wallet go?”

박지민 image

박지민

… guys, don’t fight;

Jimin tries to stop the angry child by interfering with the two.

등장인물

“If I lose that, I’ll get in trouble with my mom!!”

The child was crying and getting angry for no reason.

Drumroll.-

???

“Hey, kids”

???

“I heard that ㅇㅇ is in the wallet playground.”

등장인물

“What the... you took it during gym class and left it in the playground?”

등장인물

“ … ”

여우림 image

여우림

So, it's not me?

Yeorim escaped from the group of children like that.

..

.

" are you okay? "

여우림 image

여우림

huh?

김태형 image

김태형

I heard everything from Park Jimin

여우림 image

여우림

Oh, that?

여우림 image

여우림

Well, it's not me

여우림 image

여우림

Okay then

김태형 image

김태형

You always didn't care about things like this.

That's why it was so difficult for me to read your emotions when I was young.

Because no matter what happened, it didn't show on my face

Even when faced with injustice, the attitude of resolving the issue with rational judgment until the end.

That person looked too adult to me to be my age.

Then, one day…

It was the day of a charity party where all the domestic businessmen, celebrities, and powerful people of the country gathered.

There, everyone was led by their father and mother from a young age, and this became a medium for fostering friendship with each other.

Maybe we were 15 at the time

박지민 image

박지민

These charity parties are a new thing these days.

전정국 image

전정국

Why, again lol

박지민 image

박지민

What's with the charity party? It's just a get-together for you guys.

박지민 image

박지민

Isn't that right, Yeo-rim?

여우림 image

여우림

lol

여우림 image

여우림

There's nothing we can do about it, this is the world of adults.

박지민 image

박지민

..-3-

김태형 image

김태형

I'm upset because you don't agree, Park Jimin

박지민 image

박지민

No-3-

전정국 image

전정국

lol

전정국 image

전정국

I like it though, the buffet here is always delicious.

Jungkook slowly put food on his plate.

박지민 image

박지민

… I guess both of my parents are from the national team…

박지민 image

박지민

When it comes to eating, you are the best…

김태형 image

김태형

lol

전정국 image

전정국

Why, it's delicious

전정국 image

전정국

You want to give it to me too?

Jungkook thrust the tongs at Jimin.

박지민 image

박지민

Oh, okay...-

박지민 image

박지민

I'll have a non-alcoholic cocktail.

김태형 image

김태형

A non-alcoholic cocktail? I'm setting the mood again.

박지민 image

박지민

Oh, no..!! (suddenly)

박지민 image

박지민

I'm eating it because it's delicious... (hot)

여우림 image

여우림

Haha ...

전정국 image

전정국

That guy says he's non-alcoholic, but he might actually be drinking alcohol.

박지민 image

박지민

Hey..what's my image like;

박지민 image

박지민

Is it really non-alcoholic??

박지민 image

박지민

Try it all

Jimin handed the glasses to Taehyung and Jungkook.

전정국 image

전정국

Hmm, is it sweet?

김태형 image

김태형

I was eating something delicious alone

박지민 image

박지민

…I told you it's true

전정국 image

전정국

lol

김태형 image

김태형

Yeo-rim, would you like to have a bite too?

I handed Woorim the glass I was drinking from.

여우림 image

여우림

Okay lol

여우림 image

여우림

I feel sick

김태형 image

김태형

Are you feeling unwell?

여우림 image

여우림

Yeah, I'm going to the bathroom for a bit.

김태형 image

김태형

Oh, yeah

김태형 image

김태형

Is it really that bad?

박지민 image

박지민

That's because I gave you what you were eating, you brat..-

김태형 image

김태형

what?

박지민 image

박지민

Yeorim has been with us for several years without any hesitation, but she is still a woman.

박지민 image

박지민

Ladies have manners~

전정국 image

전정국

… Ugh, Park Jimin feels it.

박지민 image

박지민

… Oh no. (snap)

박지민 image

박지민

Why are you only dealing with me today?

전정국 image

전정국

~^^ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

김태형 image

김태형

김태형 image

김태형

…manners (mumble)

..

.

“Wow”

dump.-

여우림 image

여우림

Don't say anything like that in the future.

등장인물

Woman | “…(sobs)”

김태형 image

김태형

what's the matter;

I ran up to the second floor at the loud noise.

In fact, it was also because I heard Yeo Rim's voice.

I have a feeling that there will be a fox forest when the incident occurs.

등장인물

Woman | "Sorry.."

The woman sat on the floor like a rat in water and sobbed.

여우림 image

여우림

김태형 image

김태형

Why, what's going on, Yeo-rim..;;

I grabbed Yeo Rim, who was standing in front of the crying woman with a cold, hard face.

김태형 image

김태형

Fox forest..?

여우림 image

여우림

등장인물

Surrounding | That girl pushed you, right? (groaning)

등장인물

Surrounding | That girl is the only daughter of the CEO of J Group... (groaning)

등장인물

Surrounding | I wonder if she's the daughter of that famous tyrant. She looks just like her father... (groaning)

김태형 image

김태형

Hey, let's get out of here first..

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

… Sorry for the noise.

widely.-

Woorim shook off my hand and disappeared into the crowd.

김태형 image

김태형

… Fox Forest??

..

.

I ran around the party frantically, trying to find the missing fox grove.

It seemed like I had to find the fox forest.

Somehow, it felt like it had to be that way.

As I was turning around, I began to see a black figure crouching on the hotel's remote terrace.

김태형 image

김태형

… fox forest,

여우림 image

여우림

김태형 image

김태형

I've been looking for it for a long time…

I sat down in front of the fox grove in relief.

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

…don't look for it (mumble)

김태형 image

김태형

?

Only then did I see Yeo Rim's face.

The tip of the nose was red, perhaps because of the cold wind, and the corners of the eyes were moist and red.

김태형 image

김태형

…you,

김태형 image

김태형

…you cried?

I couldn't help but be startled when I saw the reddened eyes of the fox forest.

That day, for the first time in my life, I saw the weakness of the fox forest.

여우림 image

여우림

…If you knew, could you pretend not to know?

김태형 image

김태형

… Oh, sorry

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

… You’re so clueless, really (mumbles)

김태형 image

김태형

…;;lol

김태형 image

김태형

So, what's going on?

김태형 image

김태형

Is it because of what happened at the party on the second floor earlier?

여우림 image

여우림

김태형 image

김태형

What did you say…?

여우림 image

여우림

My mom and dad said they couldn't handle my personality so they left home.

여우림 image

여우림

I bet you're married to another man and have kids by now.

김태형 image

김태형

여우림 image

여우림

I can tolerate people cursing at me

여우림 image

여우림

But, I can't stand people badmouthing the people around me

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

…I did something wrong..

김태형 image

김태형

You should have stepped on the dress too

여우림 image

여우림

…huh?

김태형 image

김태형

If it were me, I would have made 5th and 6th vertebrae and still have some left over.

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

…what are you talking about (snickers)

Woorim finally burst into laughter.

김태형 image

김태형

Anyway, if something like this happens again, call me first.

김태형 image

김태형

I'll solve it for you

여우림 image

여우림

…you?

여우림 image

여우림

Can you hit people?

김태형 image

김태형

…they say that a true man is one who does not spare his fists for his friends.

여우림 image

여우림

who

김태형 image

김태형

…my dad,,

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

… That idiot, why would he even try to hit something like that? (mumbles)

김태형 image

김태형

…her

김태형 image

김태형

I've been muttering to myself since earlier

김태형 image

김태형

Are you weird today?

김태형 image

김태형

What did you drink?

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

…non-alcoholic cocktails

김태형 image

김태형

김태형 image

김태형

… Lie, the smell of alcohol right now is no joke~

I found a wine glass pretending to be a cocktail behind the rainforest.

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

Is it because you don't have a clue that your nose is like a dog's nose? (mumbles)

김태형 image

김태형

…her?

김태형 image

김태형

Talking to myself again

김태형 image

김태형

Is the injection mumbling something on its mind?

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

…I’m not drunk (mumbles)

김태형 image

김태형

…lol

I'm drunk, I'm drunk, and I'm really drunk.

Whew...

A sudden gust of wind caused white snow to fall from the sky.

여우림 image

여우림

Oh, it's snow... .

김태형 image

김태형

Yeah, it's the first snow of the year.

여우림 image

여우림

Yeah..

김태형 image

김태형

They say if you make a wish on the first snow day, it will come true.

여우림 image

여우림

wish?

김태형 image

김태형

Yeah, wish

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

… I’m at my best right now (mumble)

김태형 image

김태형

lol

김태형 image

김태형

Me too lol

김태형 image

김태형

Then let's make a promise

여우림 image

여우림

What a promise...

김태형 image

김태형

When things are difficult, sad, or you feel like crying, always tell each other first.

김태형 image

김태형

And comfort me

여우림 image

여우림

…what is that

김태형 image

김태형

lol

김태형 image

김태형

If you don't tell me, I won't know.

김태형 image

김태형

Because I have no clue

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

Well, you're not clueless, but you're just too clueless... (mumbles)

김태형 image

김태형

…lol;

김태형 image

김태형

Can't you just keep your true feelings to yourself?

김태형 image

김태형

This is a bit painful…

여우림 image

여우림

…fool

김태형 image

김태형

lol

김태형 image

김태형

Anyway, are you promising?

여우림 image

여우림

여우림 image

여우림

… Yeah

Woorim reached out and hooked his finger tightly around my little finger.

김태형 image

김태형

No promises to break-

김태형 image

김태형

Valid until death -

여우림 image

여우림

…Okay, I get it, I get it, (sob)

김태형 image

김태형

Yeah yeah haha

..

.

Back to the present

김태형 image

김태형

김태형 image

김태형

… I’m confused again, what is this;

김태형 image

김태형

That was then, and this is now.

김태형 image

김태형

“Ahhh..ohhh..-”

김태형 image

김태형

?

고양이 image

고양이

Aww..-

The cat pushed itself between Taehyung's legs and led him somewhere.

"Flick.-"

고양이 image

고양이

Meow..-

The cat jumped up onto the desk and knocked on one of the desks with its paw.

김태형 image

김태형

…?

김태형 image

김태형

What, a note…

Taehyung found a notebook lying on the desk and carefully opened it.

Whoa..-

김태형 image

김태형

김태형 image

김태형

……

김태형 image

김태형

What is this…?

김태형 image

김태형

What is this… … .
