Myeongsu sat down without saying anything.

I rummaged through my pockets.

김명수

Myeongsu takes something out of his pocket

김명수 image

김명수

Myeongsu turned his head and looked at Eunbi.

Eunbi was engrossed in talking with her friends.

4 people...

Myeongsu seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Put one of the candies you took out of your pocket back into your pocket,

He approached me holding four candies.

Myeongsu handed over the candy and returned to his seat.

김명수

I guess I just need to buy a gift...

Monday came back like that

Today was the day to reveal my Secret Santa.

김명수

As expected, he's quiet, Kim Myung-soo....

정은비 image

정은비

Eunbi came forward with a bewildered expression and received a gift from Myeongsu.

Myeongsu took his seat.

선생님

So what did Eunbi do for her Secret Santa?

정은비 image

정은비

I... didn't know what to do... so I bought a gift I wanted to give to my Secret Santa.

선생님

정은비 image

정은비

Myeongsu came forward and Eunbi opened her mouth, giving him a gift.

정은비 image

정은비

김명수 image

김명수

Myeongsu saw the gift Eunbi gave him.

Myeongsu returned to his seat and sat down.

김명수 image

김명수

Myeongsu muttered in a voice that no one could hear.

I glanced at Eunbi

김명수 image

김명수

...Thank you, Jeong Eun-bi

That evening...

정은비 image

정은비

Eunbi covered herself with the blanket.

정은비 image

정은비

.....

Eunbi soon lifts her head out of the blanket.

정은비 image

정은비

Jeon Won-woo....

정은비 image

정은비

Seriously, why are you doing this to me... Do you hate me...?

정은비 image

정은비

under...

Eunbi soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

*

Things have blown up

The teacher noticed that Wonwoo and Eunbi's desks were apart and said something.

정은비 image

정은비

Ugh....

Eunbi eventually burst into tears, and only calmed down after a long time.

The teacher had Wonwoo write a five-page reflection paper, and Eunbi moved to sit next to Yuna.

*

Eunbi, lying on the bed, looked up at the ceiling.

정은비 image

정은비

Jeon Won-woo....

정은비 image

정은비

Thanks to that... I'm the only one getting hurt... ugh.....

정은비 image

정은비

정은비

정은비 image

정은비

The things you did because you hated me...

정은비 image

정은비

Knowingly or unknowingly, it was hurting me...

정은비 image

정은비

That wound... penetrated deep into my heart...

정은비 image

정은비

I can't..... get out..... anymore.....

정은비 image

정은비

Wonwoo...

Eunbi's voice, as she spoke to herself, gradually became trembling.

정은비 image

정은비

We are... just... ordinary friends...

정은비 image

정은비

Couldn't... it... have been...?

Eunbi's tears fall...

정은비 image

정은비

Ugh.... ugh....

정은비 image

정은비

Even after we graduate... and meet again...

정은비 image

정은비

정은비 image

정은비

정은비 image

정은비

Eunbi soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
