The violence of unrequited love.
Episode 2-2. Confusion Again. 03
한소연
“Yeonbi!!”
Han So-yeon continued to talk to me, feigning friendliness, as if she never tires. Now, it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to accept her.
I don't know what their pasts were, but judging by the way Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun seemed to dislike Han Soyeon, I don't think they were all that great. I wanted to distance myself from her, but I couldn't help it when Han Soyeon kept coming closer to me.

“Yeonbi… Are you okay?”
When Han So-yeon wasn't around, So Byeol would come to me and talk to me kindly. I told her I was fine, but it was actually very difficult.
I wanted to get away, but they kept coming closer, and I was curious about their past, but I couldn't ask, so I kept holding back.
Han So-yeon always pretended to be close to me and I pushed her away, but suddenly Han So-yeon spoke to me.
한소연
“Yeonbi! Aren’t you curious about Baekhyun’s past?”
조연비
"uh?"
한소연
"Aren't you curious?! I'll tell you..."
박찬열
“Han So-yeon!! Keep it short.”
As Han So-yeon was about to speak, Park Chan-yeol suddenly shouted. Han So-yeon frowned slightly at Park Chan-yeol's voice, then burst out laughing, and Park Chan-yeol's brow furrowed. Han So-yeon laughed, then wiped away her tears and said,
한소연
“Ah, really, Park Chanyeol, you too, you scream too… You’ve grown a lot.”
박찬열
“Han So-yeon, you haven’t changed at all.”
As Park Chanyeol and Han Soyeon were snarling at each other, Byun Baekhyun approached me and grabbed my hand tightly. He then pulled me toward him and hugged me.
I was in Baekhyun's arms. Seeing me like that, Han Soyeon raised one corner of her mouth in a mocking sneer. Then she spoke to Baekhyun.
한소연
"Our rich pig. You've grown so much, haven't you? You thought all you had to do was change your appearance? Oh, no."
변백현
"……shut up."
한소연
“Wow, our pig can talk!? That’s a jackpot!!!”
변백현
“Han So-yeon, don’t be so quick.”
한소연
“Wow… That’s scary. Have you forgotten your old owner? That’s why you raise pigs and give them away… Tsk.”
Han So-yeon and Byun Baek-hyun were having a conversation I didn't know about. Han So-yeon, who must have been in Byun Baek-hyun's arms, whispered to me very quietly as she passed by.
한소연
“If you’re curious about Baekhyun Byun’s past, come to the backyard after school.”
Han So-yeon left the class like that, and Byun Baek-hyun let me go. I slipped out of his embrace and sat down, and Byun Baek-hyun sat down next to me.
And then he was staring at me with such intensity that I looked at his eyes with a questioning look in my eyes. Then our eyes met and he smiled brightly.
변백현
"pretty…"
조연비
“Huh, huh?”
변백현
“My girlfriend is so pretty. And I love her so much…”
조연비
“Haha… You too, you too are handsome.”
변백현
“Thank you! Why are you so pretty? What did you do today?”
조연비
“Uh, no…?”
변백현
“But why is it so pretty? Is it because it’s mine?”
I felt my face gradually redden at Baekhyun's words. I covered my face with my hand, and Baekhyun chuckled at my appearance.
변백현
“What the… I want to see my girlfriend’s face!!”
조연비
“Oh, no…”
변백현
“Why? I want to see you?!!”
Byun Baekhyun spoke with a voice dripping with laughter. Every time Byun Baekhyun spoke, my face grew redder and redder, and I couldn't raise my head any longer.
Then, Baekhyun Byun stroked my hair, and I looked at him in surprise. Baekhyun Byun smiled at me.
변백현
“It’s so cute. I can’t help but like it!”
Byun Baekhyun smiled, showing his unique square mouth, and I smiled back at him. And so, school quietly ended.

After school, I was torn. Should I go to the backyard or go home? I wondered. I was curious about Byun Baekhyun's past.
Byun Baekhyun and Park Chanyeol felt like they were hiding something, so if I wanted to know, I had no choice but to go to Han Soyeon. After much deliberation, I decided to go to Han Soyeon.
