Jaehyun Fanfic | To save you - EP. 1 < Your Recent Updates >

The café door opens. Ding-a-ling -

이원희

Munya, over here, over here !

이원희

I ordered yours too. It’s the strawberry latte, right?

문하나

Yeah haha, oh right, who’s that guy in your story? Don’t tell me it’s your boyfriend??

이원희

Oh, him? Just a classmate from my department, but he looks good, right?

문하나

Yeah, but he’s not my type of handsome

이원희

Hmm .. your type is puppy-like and .. kind. Right?

문하나

Oh, you know? Well, I’ve liked only Myung Jaehyun for 4 years ..

-

Myung Jaehyun. The boy who made my heart, which had never once raced for the opposite sex for 16 years, start pounding.

He was a model student who was good at studying, had a handsome face, was popular, and had good manners too.

So I didn’t even dare hope to be anything more than a school friend of his, and was satisfied just being able to see him, wishing only for his happiness.

As he became an adult, he was naturally forgotten little by little in my memory. With that face and that hair .. he must be doing really well, right?

-

이원희

Yeah, you really liked him back then .. you know how he’s been, right? That must have hit you hard ..

문하나

Yeah, what? Did he get into Seoul National or something?

이원희

Whoa .. you didn’t know?

이원희

“ He .. killed himself as soon as he turned 20 ”

문하나

.. ?

문하나

What do you mean ..

이원희

Whoa .. you really had no idea

이원희

I don’t know why he made that choice either. He must’ve had his own reasons ..

이원희

Whoa, when did time get this late .. I have to go because of my part-time job. See you again later !

Ding-a-ling -

It was a shock. I couldn’t even say goodbye to Wonhee there, and fell into deep thought.

Why on earth did he kill himself .. and at 20, too.

Still, once you’re an adult, isn’t it normal to want to try doing something .. anything?

-

I couldn’t keep sitting in the café forever, so I swallowed the shock, took the bus home, and tried to compose my thoughts.

문하나

Yeah .. even if he were alive, there would’ve been no connection between us ..

Thinking that way made me feel a little better, and when I thought about how much pain you, the one I truly liked, must have been in at that young age .. I just wanted to hug the vulnerable you from back then even once.

I looked out the window. The sunset was indifferent and beautiful, and the sunlight was warm enough to lull me to sleep.

And before I knew it, I fell asleep.

문하나

..?

When I opened my eyes, it was some classroom. And about 3 seconds later, I was sure: this is a dream. I often have lucid dreams, so I wasn’t all that surprised. As I casually looked around the room ..

.. I saw you sitting two rows ahead, in the far-right seat. I remember it. The first-day seating assignment when we became third-years. I remember thinking Jaehyun was easy to see and liking it.
