Jaehyun
To save you



문하나
Then maybe your mind might change too.


명재현
.. Do whatever you want.

.. Ah, I'm screwed. He'll probably look at me like I'm pathetic, right? Why did I say something like that .. From now on I should make it a little less 부담스럽게.

Your gaze then dropped back to the book. After that, until we got out of school, the two of us didn't exchange a word.

이원희
Hey, hey, come here quick !


문하나
Ah, right after school again what ! haha


이원희
The tteokbokki place fills up fast ㅡㅡ


문하나
Okay, okay. I'm going, I'm going.

이원희
Ding-


이원희
Huff, huff .. There's a seat!


문하나
Ugh, I'm tired .. haha


이원희
haha Auntie, one order of tteokbokki and one set of fried snacks here !


이원희
Ah, I'm hungry. It's been a while since I've had tteokbokki. Thanks to who? You ditched me for days and ran off on your own, seriously !!


이원희
Ahem.. so, any updated news?


문하나
There is, there is! I .. recently got a little close with Jaehyun?


이원희
What? Are you insane !! Why didn't you say so right away ㅠㅠ So? Do you think you could date him? Is it like a thing already, or what?


문하나
You're moving too fast .. haha Actually that's not the problem .. I said I wanted to get closer, but ! he said he likes things this distance right now .. or so he said.


이원희
What ..? Hey, you okay?


문하나
I'm fine ~ I wasn't really expecting anything big anyway


이원희
Still ! Seriously, that Jaehyun guy has no eye for people.


문하나
It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine haha


이원희
Right, speaking of Jaehyun, I remembered something. There's a rumor that Jaehyun lives in Do-eo Village.

Do-eo Village. A small neighborhood about 20 minutes away from this one, with only one or two shops and just two old apartment buildings, so it's the kind of place only people who are financially struggling live in.


문하나
Do-eo Village..? Come on, people used to say his family was rich and stuff.


이원희
Maybe all of that was just rumor too. This time, they actually saw him in Wonder Apartment in that neighborhood.


문하나
Couldn't that be a rumor too ..? Still, thanks for telling me


이원희
You buy the tteokbokki today~


문하나
haha That's so unfair. Fine ~

-

After eating tteokbokki and parting with Wonhee, I headed home.

As I walked, what Wonhee had said kept coming back to me. If he really lives in Do-eo Village .. maybe he made that choice because of a hard financial situation ..


문하나
It really could be..

Lost in thought as I walked, I'd gone a little past the traffic light I was supposed to cross. Just as I was about to turn back, wondering what the heck, I saw you standing far across the street.


문하나
.. Jaehyun?

That was definitely you. I tried to shout, but since I'd decided not to make things awkward, I kept my mouth shut and looked at you. But .. there were bruises and scratches on Jaehyun's face.


문하나
Uh ..?

You disappeared from my sight in an instant.

-


문하나
Ugh, where is this place ..

My body was faster than my head. The moment I saw you, I just walked down the path you had taken. You were already gone, but I just followed my instincts and ended up here. Looks like an alley.


문하나
You're crazy, you're insane, Moon Hana .. what are you doing following me here ..

For now, I was relieved I'd come to my senses, and I looked around. In front of me it said ' Wonder Apartment '.


문하나
Oh, this must be Do-eo Village..

Wonhee's words came back to me again, that Jaehyun supposedly lives in Wonder Apartment. Still, I've come all the way here .. should I go check? You never know

The alley in front of Wonder Apartment was long. As I kept walking, I could make out a figure crouching up ahead. I was curious, but I kept going forward for now.

As I got closer to that figure, it came into focus. But .. that ..

Isn't that Jaehyun ..?


문하나
What is this ..

I went even closer. The closer I got, the more clearly I could tell it was Jaehyun.

The problem was .. he was crying. Bruises on his face, crouching and crying in front of Do-eo Village ..

Should I talk to him or not ..? He might really hate it, or rather, he probably will, but still .. I want to hug him.
