??: Ugh...

??: I was wrong... please, save me..

My life wasn't always like this.

It was just ordinary.

But then they came; at first, it seemed like they were being kind.

But something was off

최범규

Enrollment..

Back then, when I entered high school

A bunch of them came rushing at me; I guess it was because of my looks

이지은 image

이지은

Oh my~ Hi! You're a freshman, right?

I thought this older girl was just a kind upperclassman

And then

유지민 image

유지민

Hi?? What's your name??

She came up to me with sparkling eyes

최범규 image

최범규

I'm Choi Beomgyu..!

I was shy by nature, so I spoke haltingly

유지민 image

유지민

Haha, you're cute~

최범규 image

최범규

Huh? Uh... really?

유지민 image

유지민

Yeah, really haha

I don't know what will happen to us...

???: Hey haha, I told you to bring me your money, didn't I?

최범규 image

최범규

S-sorry... I don't have any money right now..

???: You think I asked to hear your excuses or something? I don't give a damn about your situation, you just have to get it somehow on your own

유지민 image

유지민

ㅋㅋㅋ That's hilarious, you couldn't even get it yourself

What made you turn out like this

최범규 image

최범규

...

유지민 image

유지민

Hey, enough haha let's stop and go to the club?

이지은 image

이지은

Oh, nice, nice!

???: Let's go~

And just like that, the kids disappeared off into the distance.

설윤아 image

설윤아

They're all gone, right? Phew..

최범규 image

최범규

?

설윤아 image

설윤아

Hi?! I'm Yuna!

최범규 image

최범규

Huh? Oh...

설윤아 image

설윤아

Why so down~

Why did I act like that? Because I was scared their kindness would turn into bullying before long.

설윤아 image

설윤아

Want to go see the sea with me? I know a pretty place!

최범규 image

최범규

...

최범규 image

최범규

...suddenly?

설윤아 image

설윤아

Yep! Suddenly!

최범규 image

최범규

You're really funny, and I mean in a bad way

설윤아 image

설윤아

Heeh?? Saying it's in a bad way hurts my feelings??

설윤아 image

설윤아

You really won't regret it, so come on!

최범규 image

최범규

Okay.. (being dragged along against my will..)

설윤아 image

설윤아

How is it? Nice, right!

최범규 image

최범규

...'snort'

최범규 image

최범규

You're seriously funny, bringing someone you've just met all the way to the sea?

설윤아 image

설윤아

Just met? I've seen you plenty of times, you know?

최범규 image

최범규

?

설윤아 image

설윤아

I'm the one who's been following you around every day

최범규 image

최범규

????

In fact, I had been aware of the person who'd followed me a few times

I just brushed it off, thinking it was simple curiosity

So it was Seol Yuna

최범규 image

최범규

Then you should've said something..

설윤아 image

설윤아

How was that any different from stalking, haha

최범규 image

최범규

Still...

설윤아 image

설윤아

You looked like you were having a hard time lately

최범규 image

최범규

What is this all of a sudden..

최범규 image

최범규

Is this pity? If it is, don't

설윤아 image

설윤아

It's not pity, it's love

최범규 image

최범규

...

최범규 image

최범규

...what?

설윤아 image

설윤아

Haha, why else would I keep following you? It's probably a crush

최범규 image

최범규

Are you crazy or something, haha

설윤아 image

설윤아

Yeah, I'm crazy haha

Maybe...

Maybe if it's you, if we're together like this, then even if it hurts, we can throw away our regrets and hold each other

Even if my chest feels overwhelmed, even if I end up crying, if it's like this, maybe we'll always be able to get past it

I...

I desperately want someone who loves me more than I love them

Maybe that would taste sweet to me too

최범규 image

최범규

Th-that might sound cruel, but..

설윤아 image

설윤아

Yeah, go on

최범규 image

최범규

...huff...

최범규 image

최범규

I only met you today, and I don't know if I can really rely on you, but when I look at you I feel like I want to keep going; even if it's not real love, even if it's just something like lingering attachment

최범규 image

최범규

Will you go out with me?
