The reason I stay by your side
The Kim Taehyung I knew


어머니
Daughter! Come here and do the dishes.

윤여주
yes..!

어머니
Oh my~ I should make some side dishes for tomorrow.

Kim Taehyung and I became friends in first grade.

past•••

윤여주
Hello Taehyung!!


김태형
huh...

At that time, I was actually the more active child and Taehyung was the quiet one.

Unlike his current skinny self, Taehyung was chubby and very short back then.

In a friendly atmosphere, Taehyung felt like he was wandering around alone, perhaps because of his personality.

So I went home and told my mom and dad, and they told me to help my friend.

That was the first time I spoke to Taehyung.

As we got to know him better, I realized he was quite an interesting kid.

After that, I started playing with Taehyung more often.

In the classroom, on the playground, on the way home from school...

When school ended at 1:30 p.m., we ran straight to the playground.


김태형
Lady...

윤여주
Huh?


김태형
What kind of food do you like?

윤여주
hmm...

윤여주
I want pizza!!!

윤여주
you?


김태형
...I like pizza too

윤여주
Wow, really?

윤여주
When we grow up, let's go eat pizza together!!!


김태형
good...

The conversations we had while riding the swing were always the same.

The games we played at the playground were always the same.

Back then, playing with Taehyung was the best thing in the world.

I wanted to go to school quickly to meet Taehyung

I was looking forward to the break time when I could play with Taehyung.

I was looking forward to the time when I could go home with Taehyung after school.

I did that every day, and I think I liked Taehyung without realizing it.

Taehyung's very existence was so precious to me.

Also, her soft cheeks were cute....ㅎ

윤여주
Mom...

윤여주
Do you remember Kim Taehyung...?

어머니
Taehyung?

어머니
of course.

윤여주
How was it? He...

어머니
Oh my, you chased after Taehyung because you liked him.

윤여주
... (pause)

어머니
Back then, you two were going around the neighborhood saying you were going to get married!! Hahahaha

어머니
What the... Where did you pick that up? A necklace made of that stinky, cancer-causing ingredient!

어머니
Oh! Yeah, you were really happy when you got that right.


윤여주
My...go.....,,,,??? (Actually, I'm still wearing that necklace. I'm still wearing it. Sorry, mom..ㅋ)

어머니
Oh my~ I really had a hard time getting Taehyung's mom and you guys to stay apart...

어머니
We were always together...

어머니
But why Taehyung?

윤여주
that...

윤여주
Kim Taehyung, that guy... he's transferring... I think he's coming

어머니
Oh my? Really??

어머니
I want to see your face~

But... he's there...

어머니
Taehyung used to be a little chubby, but he had nice features.

어머니
I bet you still look fine~

윤여주
So he... you know... (whispering softly)


He must still be handsome...

But

There's a cigarette in his mouth and a lighter in his hand...

윤여주
Phew...

어머니
When are you coming?

윤여주
yes?

어머니
When did Taehyung transfer to another school?

윤여주
Um... that's...

윤여주
I don't know either......

어머니
what

어머니
Anyway, Taehyung, come take me to the snack bar sometime.

윤여주
...hehe

The heroine's imagination...


김태형
What are you?



김태형
Are you dissatisfied?

윤여주
Ah, that's....

윤여주
I'm Yoon Yeo-ju, who was close to you...!


김태형
Ah, Yoon Yeo-ju~


김태형
I don't know you.

puck!

윤여주
...scared (mumbled)

어머니
Everything is scary

어머니
When you're done washing the dishes, go in and study.

yes...

윤여주
Kim Taehyung and all...

윤여주
What does this have to do with me...


김태형
'Hey lady..!!!!'

윤여주
It's all in the past...

I felt depressed for no reason and couldn't concentrate on my studies anymore.

In the end, I closed my textbook and lay down.

Is it because I've been through a lot since the first day of the new semester?

I fell asleep without realizing it.
