The violence of unrequited love.
Episode 2-3. Don't try to shake it, it won't fall.
"Should I have followed?" Han So-yeon turned around and looked at me. Her gaze made me hesitate for a moment, then she smiled and tilted her head crookedly.
한소연
"Aren't you curious? You're nothing special either. You can't even trust your boyfriend to come here like this."
조연비
"Say what you want to say quickly!"
한소연
"Haa- You don't have to set the mood. I know your personality very well. Our timid bunny friend?"
As I glared at Han So-yeon, who was speaking with a faint smile, Han So-yeon raised one corner of her mouth and looked at me, then spoke quietly.
한소연
"Actually, our rich pig used to be really fat. He was so ugly. I don't know if he lost weight or got plastic surgery, but he turned into this."
한소연
"That fucking loner became fucking famous. Isn't that ridiculous? Me too. What about you? Dating someone who's made up, someone who's been manipulated. I don't think I could ever imagine that."
Han So-yeon's mocking words steeled my resolve. No matter what she says, I won't fall for it. She's clearly trying to break up, but I can't let that slide. Even if it's true, I need to hear it from Byun Baek-hyun.
조연비
"Excuse me, are you suggesting we break up? Ha, I have no intention of doing that. Don't try to shake me, I won't fall for it."
With that, he left Han So-yeon speechless and left the school. Baekhyun was waiting for him at the main gate.
조연비
"Baekhyun..?"
At my insistence, Baekhyun approached me and grabbed my shoulder. As I watched, unsure of what was going on, he asked me with a worried expression.
변백현
"Are you okay? Didn't that girl say anything?"
조연비
"Um... you were fat in the past...?"
At my words, Byun Baekhyun's expression became grave, as if he were about to lose his country. Tears welled up in his eyes, and I quickly wiped them away in surprise. But as if rejecting me, Byun Baekhyun took my hands from his cheeks and lowered them.
변백현
"Are you going to leave me too...?"
조연비
"What? No! Why would I leave you..?"
변백현
"You knew about my past. You were disappointed in me...!"
조연비
"Disappointed? No, I'm not disappointed. I'm more curious than disappointed. What did you look like?"
변백현
"uh..?"
Baekhyun Byun looked at me, genuinely surprised, and I smiled back. Then Baekhyun Byun hugged me tightly. Then he whispered quietly.
변백현
"Are you really curious...?"
At that question, I nodded in his arms, and Baekhyun Byun, sensing my actions, chuckled and stroked my hair.
변백현
"Then do you want to come to my house for a bit...? I'll show you. Because you won't leave me... Because I have that kind of faith!"
So I headed to Baekhyun Byun's house.
