01. Long time no see? - The love I had with you

[2013, First Day of School]

김여주

(Today is the first day of the third year of high school.)

김여주

(I should have checked the class assignment table on the school website...)

김여주

(I forgot that.)

김여주

(So all I know is that my friend Sia and I are in a fight.)

김여주

(Well, I'm so grateful that I'm in the same class as Sia~ haha)

김여주

(Even though I'm only a senior in high school, the important thing is the class assignments and who becomes my homeroom teacher...)

김여주

(Why did I forget that?)

While I was thinking about this and that, I was already in front of the school gate.

김여주

(No matter how many times I pass by this school gate, it's never good.)

김여주

(If you go a little further to the entrance, there will be a class assignment sign posted... ㅠㅠ)

김여주

(Ah... I'm shaking)

When I went to the front door, I saw a crowd of children gathered in front of the class assignment table.

There were mixed voices of annoyance at the news that someone was in a half with someone, and others who were glad that someone was in a half with someone.

I also heard the name of my former crush, Taehyung.

남학생 1

Hey, Kim Taehyung, you're with a girlfriend? What a lucky guy.

남학생 2

Wow... I'm jealous. When will I get one? ㅠㅠ

남학생 1

No matter what you do, nothing happens. I can tell just by looking at your face. Just by looking at your face...

남학생 1

It's a situation that just won't happen.

남학생 2

[ Laughs ] Hey, that's not something you should be saying~

I suddenly feel like I'm going to feel down.

I need to check my class assignment...

Where is my name?

김여주

Kim Yeo-ju... Kim Yeo-ju...

김여주

Ah! Here it is haha Class 3~

I immediately checked the list to see who was in our class.

김여주

Homeroom teacher... Kim Seok-jin?

Wow, I hit the jackpot. My homeroom teacher is Mr. Kim Seok-jin!

Teacher Kim Seok-jin is the most popular teacher at our school.

김여주

(Oops... I totally got it...)

김여주

uh?

As I was carefully scanning the children's names, I came across a name that caught my eye.

Park Jimin

김여주

(The Park Jimin I know...? Why is his name here...)

Jimin and I were in the same class in middle school. We weren't very close, but we were classmates.

To be exact, Jimin was a bully.

I was an ordinary student.

Jimin would throw away snack bags, gum, etc. on the classroom floor every day.

Every time I was on cleaning duty, I had to throw away those candy wrappers and open the gum.

That's why I hated Park Jimin.

김여주

(But why is this person's name here...)

김여주

(Didn't he go to a different high school?)

김여주

(...same name?)

My head was spinning, and in that state, I went up to the third floor where the third-year high school classrooms were.

김여주

(!)

Our class classroom is right in front of us.

And you are right there in front of me.

박지민

uh?

박지민

you...

I avoided eye contact and walked past Jimin in the classroom.

박지민

You just wait a minute!

김여주

uh?!

Jimin grabbed my arm.

박지민

You... you're right.

박지민

Yeoju? What was your last name?

박지민

Park Yeo-ju...? No! Kang Yeo-ju!

김여주

Kim Yeo-ju...

박지민

Ah~ Sorry. It's been a while, Kim Yeo-ju. Haha.

박지민

We were in the same class haha

김여주

(What should I do...)

Ugh... This situation! I hate it so much!

Not only that, I'm in the same class as you, the person I hated so much

How can you pretend to know me from day one?

김여주

(I hate it so much...)

박지민

Hey~ haha that's awesome I transferred here before winter break when I was in the second year of high school?

박지민

But as soon as I became a senior in high school, I ended up in the same class as someone I knew haha

Just then, Sia came into the classroom. But Park Jimin... was still holding onto my arm, so I just exchanged a quick glance and nodded, trying to convey as best I could that I couldn't go to him right now. Then I looked at Jimin again.
