The summer I met you

Summer I Met You 07

To be precise, I am not sick.

It was just that I was weak from birth, and I was just unlucky enough to be treated as sick at home.

As time went by, the amount of money I spent on treatment for my frequent illnesses increased, and my weak health was soon called a 'bad disease' in our family.

So, I spent a year in vain rebellion. The result, of course, was a miserable failure.

Until a few days ago, I cried every day...

My mother's words telling me to go live at my grandmother's house still lingered in my ears.

How much time and emotion have I wasted because of those words?

Rebellion is bullshit

Anyway, in the end, there was no such thing as rebellion…

I buried my face in the blanket. I was furious. In that beggarly house, what I had shown until the very end wasn't rebellion.

Something more insignificant than that insignificant rebellion.

My pride wouldn't allow it. I hated that house. My mom thought I was just a nuisance, and my dad was indifferent to my work.

조여름

ha…

Still, I cried out.

Please let me live with you

The word "rebellion" had long since faded. Its colorlessness rendered it nothing more than a picture of lines and dots.

… ..But in the end, wasn’t it a great success?

I also met Kim Taehyung... Well, it's not like there weren't some awkward moments...

조여름

That's good. Much better.

I buried my face deeper into the blanket.

Why did I endure that year with all my might and evil?

The answer to that question wasn't something that needed much thought.

'It was possible because of today. Because we met.'

Kim Taehyung's words were like an oasis to me, who was thirsty for affection.

These were the words that made me remember the taste of an oasis as I wandered aimlessly through the desert.

조여름

…Should I thank you when we meet tomorrow?

조여름

Wouldn't it be weird if that happened all of a sudden?

I jumped up from my seat. Thinking back, I realized I hadn't responded to that earlier.

조여름

No, but I'm grateful that you went to him and said that to him.

조여름

Isn't it strange to say that you really wanted to hear those words?

I grabbed my head. I think I'm screwed.

To be honest, when I heard those words, tears welled up in my eyes.

At that moment, I thought I didn't want to show my ugly appearance, so I left that place without saying a word.

조여름

iced coffee…

Jiying - ))

I was lying in bed, thinking about the expression on Kim Taehyung's face when we first met tomorrow.
