Summer I Met You 05

uh..?

I was in a classroom with ample sunlight and a cool breeze blowing.

I was feeling the summer, listening to the pleasant sound of cicadas. When I heard the door open, I turned around and saw the senior I'd seen that morning standing there.

The eyes that met his gaze were so frightening that he immediately looked down and turned his body away from his senior.

It's lunchtime, aren't you going to meet your friends?

조여름

No, I have an appointment.

김석진

Who is Taehyung?

조여름

Yes, you know very well.

A cool scent came from the senior who came to my side, and when I turned my head to look at him, I only then saw the enormous amount of sketchbooks he was holding in his hands.

Bang! As expected from a sheep, the sound of the sketchbook being put down was loud.

조여름

What is all this?

Why did the senior do this?

errand.

Oh yeah, that was when it all started.

Whoosh, something black came streaming through the open window. A chilling aura filled me.

조여름

Mom!!! Senior!! Punishment!! Punishment!!

Be still... Be still...

Bees were flying around like crazy around where my senior and I were standing. The thought of those black things being bees made me want to collapse.

All my attention was focused on the bees, and all I could hear was the buzzing sound.

Stay still!

At that moment, I heard my senior's nervous voice. Ah, it was a voice that was perhaps scarier than a bee.

It was a split second. My senior grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. The cool scent I'd smelled earlier brushed my nose.

I don't know if it was my fear of bees or my senior's cool scent, but my senior's embrace felt cool.

Hey, Jo Yeoreum... It's nothing special...

조여름

To my senior...

김석진

Are you crying?

In the classroom, which had become quiet after the bee had left, only the senior's voice could be heard softly. As the tension eased, tears welled up in my eyes.

It was funny to see her crying like a baby in her senior's arms, but the tears wouldn't stop.

김석진

What are you doing with that..., hey, why are you crying, Jo Yeoreum?

김석진 image

김석진

Are you scared? You're not a kid, why are you like that?

조여름

What does the senior know!!..

My senior stared blankly at me. His gaze was so ticklish that my face turned red, as if I was allergic to something.
