Special Edition | Taehyung's Sad First Love

※ Taehyung's point of view

Talk

Knock,ㅡ

전정국

Huh? It's raining.

김태형

…It’s raining so hard.

There's someone I think of every rainy day. That person is...

민윤기

(The atmosphere is so bad) Wow~ On a day like this, I need to eat chicken and beer.

김석진

(Destructive mood) No!! On a rainy day, I'll have pajeon and makgeolli!!

Grumbling

Thump thump,ㅡ

전정국

Just respect individual tastes. Is it really worth fighting over?

김태형

he…

Maybe if it weren't for that incident back then, we would still be in touch?

Taehyung and Jimin when they were 15 years old

That child and I were in the same school, same grade, and same class.

The child was neither very pretty nor very ugly, just bigger than the others, had glasses, and had hair that went down to her waist and was tied with a hair tie.

It was literally ordinary, an ordinary school life…

Puck,ㅡ

+

Miss! Get off me!! I can't get through because of you.

도설희

(Get out of the way) Sorry…

++

Hey lol you have pork fat all over your body.

+

(While shaking off the clothes) Miss, I threw away my uniform because of that pig X.

++

Would you like to borrow my gym clothes?

+

uh.

도설희

…

My first love was the official outcast at our school.

But how did I come to like this kid?

+

Meow~ Yum yum

김태형

(Cat pat) Eat slowly.

"You can't give me canned tuna."

When I turned around, the child was there, and he was covering his mouth, probably surprised too.

도설희

(Sorry) … I was just interfering.

I caught you trying to go on like that.

김태형

Then how should I give it?

도설희

that is…

I took out a thermos and a bowl from my bag and washed the tuna.

도설희

Cats should be fed special cat food, as fatty foods like canned tuna can cause stomach upsets. If you want to feed them tuna like today, rinse it in warm water to remove any excess oil.

도설희

(Turning his head) And…

"…"

도설희

…!!!

김태형

And what?

도설희

(Avoiding eye contact) Things like canned tuna are dangerous for kittens, so if possible, give them in disposable bowls.

김태형

ah…

도설희

Okay,ㅡ) Then I'll go.

"Thank you, Do Seol-hee. Haha."

도설희

Stop,ㅡ) Did you know my name?

김태형

Of course. We're in the same class.

At first, it was just curiosity.

From that day on, we became secret friends and talked without anyone knowing.

김태형

(Sigh) Miss!! Park Jimin is annoying!!

김태형

You always say you study so I don't play with you, and today you're calling me a X!!

도설희

Hahahaha I saw you earlier and you were really annoying me. Hahahaha

김태형

What? Are you on Park Jimin's side too?

김태형

Tch!

도설희

(Embarrassed) No, that’s not what I meant…

김태형

Seol-hee, rubbing her head) I know. That's not what Seol-hee meant.

도설희

(///)

The second was a mix of familiarity and confusion.

김태형

Hehe,ㅡ) hehe

박지민

What are you doing? Are you like X or X god right now?

김태형

(I see Seol-hee cleaning outside.) She's cute. Haha.

박지민

Do you like him?

김태형

(Furious) Who is that?! She has a name!! Do Seol-hee!!

박지민

(Unbelievable) Oh.. that's right.

김태형

Our Seol knows a lot about animals. She dreams of becoming a veterinarian someday. Haha.

김태형

And above all, have more fun than me. Haha

Without realizing it, whenever I heard about you, I started to laugh, and even though it was nothing special, I started to like you and find you pretty.

박지민

Okay. Then don't be friends with me, be friends with him.

김태형

(Majestic) That's right.

Before I knew it, curiosity in my heart began to turn into affection.

Eventually, the incident happened.

+

(Taking a video with my phone) LOL Enjoy your meal.

++

As expected of a pig, he eats X well. Hahahahahahahahaha

After a quick trip to the store and returning, I went back to the classroom and saw a ton of snacks, high-calorie foods, and carbonated drinks in front of the child.

And then I saw the child struggling to eat.

thud_!

Without realizing it, I lost my composure and threw the food out of the child's hand.

+

What the heck? Kim Taehyung, what are you doing?!

++

That was a lot of fun.

The people in that class looked at me strangely, as if I had done something wrong, and I tried to hold it in, but...

++

Hey! What are you doing? You ruined the mood! Hurry up and eat some X!!

Puck,ㅡ

"Hey you fucking idiot. I have things to say and things I don't want to say. Is that the right thing to say in this situation?"

김태형

Are you guys still like that and still consider yourself X-people?

Just as I was about to say more, the kid came up behind me and spoke quietly, trembling.

도설희

(Shudder) That's... that's enough...

I took the child's hand and walked out of the classroom.

+

Why is Kim Taehyung like that? He usually smiles brightly, but when he suddenly got angry, I was scared.

++

I feel like X or X.

+++

Was the video taken well?

+

Carrots. Haha

++

If you upload it quickly, it will get a lot of views. Haha

박지민

(laughs) X-friend X-kki…

+

(Kkugit) What?

박지민

Oh... did you hear that? Sorry, I was talking to myself. Haha

+

Approaching Jimin) Say it again!!

박지민

Instead of going to school, why don't you start by going to the hospital?

"How can your mental age be lower than that of a kindergartener?"

bang!!

김태형

ha…

김태형

Don't you have a mouth?! If you don't like it, just say so. Why are you eating like an idiot there?!

I couldn't understand that child,

도설희

What's your business?!

The child spoke as if he couldn't understand me either.

No matter how hard I searched for commonalities, I couldn't find any. That's how we met, and it was nice to be drawn to each other because of our differences. But we were so different that we couldn't understand each other.

Because we were so young back then.

도설희

Stop it, I don't want to fight with you!! Don't meddle in my business anymore.

Maybe it was the weather. We got emotional, and eventually, the kid stabbed me.

A few days later…

After that day, the child transferred schools without a word, and the other children lived as usual as if nothing had happened.

And I often went to the places we used to hang out in just in case your absence was so great.

+

Taehyung's leg is squeezing) Meow~

"…"

The place where we first talked, the cat we fed together… everything is there, so why…

"Seol-ah… Seol-hee…"

Why aren't you here?

김태형

Seol-ah, I like you a lot… Really… I like you.

I'm sorry I realized I liked you so late.

today

I miss you more today.

"…T-hyung"

전정국

Hey! Kim Taehyung!

김태형

uh…?

민윤기

What are you doing? It's like a screw is missing.

김석진

Did you sleep? I slept for a little while. Go home and sleep.

전정국

The rain has stopped, so let's go home now.

김태형

Uh… okay.

김태형

ha…

+

Meow~~

도설희

Ticklish haha

김태형

Stop,ㅡ)

Your voice was the same, but you'd lost a lot of weight and looked prettier than before, and even after all these years, I could tell it was you.

도설희

Hi, Meow, the cat that was there before is gone. Haha.

I want to run to you and hug you right now, but the reason I can't go to you.

"Seol-ah, let's stop now and go home. Hehe"

도설희

Okay, brother. Haha.

I'm glad you look so happy.

"Aren't you going?"

도설희

(Duribun) Wait a minute…

"Seol-ah, let's go eat quickly. I'm really hungry."

도설희

Smirk,ㅡ) Okay, I understand.

"I'm glad you're happy. Take care, Do Seol-hee."

김태형

'I'm so sorry…'

Behind the scenes

도설희

Taehyung

김태형

huh?

도설희

If we lost touch and ran into each other on the street a few years later, would you recognize me?

김태형

Of course. It's not someone else's, it's our Seol.

도설희

So I lost a lot of weight and I look completely different now. Will you still recognize me?

김태형

(Nod) Yeah. I can see it.

도설희

How really?

김태형

Sigh,ㅡ) Secret.

도설희

What is it? Tell me~

김태형

I don't like it~

No matter how much you gain weight and change your appearance, I'll still recognize you. Because...

Because you are my first love.
