The aesthetics of youth
#7 - Unprecedented


The spring night's breeze still had a faint scent of winter.

Wonwoo, who lifted me up from the bench

After thinking about it for a while

He changed the subject, saying that it would be better to walk a little.

김여주
Huh? Didn't I tell you to go in quickly earlier?


전원우
I just thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to walk a little bit...

김여주
This is really ridiculous, Jeon Won-woo.


전원우
……

I took a few steps forward, sticking out my lips for no reason.

I can clearly see Wonwoo watching me from behind.

A smile appeared on my lips.

김여주
Why aren't you coming? Let's go for a walk.

Did you really mean to tell me to walk alone? When did you ever worry about me, saying how dangerous the world is these days? Sob, sob. This older sister is so sad.

And if you pretend to cry when you can't,

Wonwoo grumbled, telling people to stop teasing each other.


전원우
You… don’t learn anything else, even if you don’t know anything else.


전원우
Learning doesn't seem to be your path.

김여주
I'm telling you, if I put my mind to it, I can do it.

김여주
It could tear up the stage.


전원우
I'll tear it apart with smoke.

김여주
Oh, really, this. I can't just squeeze it in.


전원우
I can't hold it in.


전원우
Because I'm not tall enough.

Having a truly meaningless conversation

How many laps did I walk around the park trail?

When a boring conversation is no longer boring.

Wonwoo is always quick to notice such moments

Only then does he reach out to me.


전원우
Should we go soon?

김여주
……

So that I can't shake his hand.

김여주
Okay, let's go.

At the same time, I thought it was really weak

I love that kind of Wonwoo.


As soon as I opened the front door, I sensed that the atmosphere in the house was unusual.

A greeting that came all the way to the chin

Swallowing it tightly,

The moment I took off my shoes and was about to go straight to my room.

엄마
Where have you been and why are you back now?

김여주
……

Thanks to my mother coming all the way to the main gate

I have a few plans in mind

It was quietly thrown into the trash can.

엄마
Aren't you going to answer?

엄마
You ask me where I was and what I was doing to be so late.

김여주
… It was Mom who texted the tutor again.

김여주
I told you that you didn't need to come today, but you came anyway.

엄마
Do you have any idea how much money each private lesson costs?

김여주
That amount of money wasn't that important to you, Mom?

김여주
I guess your investment this time didn't go well.

Mom seemed quite shocked by the words she had spit out without being able to swallow them.

Passing by the dumbfounded mother

Go up the stairs at a quick pace

Just before opening the door

I heard my mother's voice from the first floor.

엄마
I won't tell Dad about this.

엄마
And don't beat around the bush and tell the truth.

엄마
Where you were, what you did, who you were with.

김여주
……

김여주
I was with Wonwoo.

엄마
By this time? Be honest. I won't get angry.

김여주
If you don't believe me, why did you ask in the first place?

김여주
If you can't help me, why don't you contact Wonwoo?

You probably have Wonwoo's contact information, right? I heard you already completed the household survey when I was young.

Although I didn't say anything further, my mom seemed to have noticed.

That's because my mom didn't say anything more.

Since the lights were off on the first floor, I couldn't see anything.

Fortunately, I couldn't see my mother's expression.


I quickly closed the door and threw myself onto the bed.

I plug my phone into the charger, relying on the moonlight.

I closed my eyes and breathed slowly.

Only when my pounding heartbeat subsided

I was able to slowly open my eyes.

김여주
…I have to wash.

I know I need to prepare for tomorrow, but

Today, for some reason, my body did not follow my will.

I finally decided to wake up early tomorrow morning

After compromising with myself

I fell asleep straight away.

It's a night when I want to see the people I miss.
