We met again
03. Accepting change is difficult (2)
김운학
What?! Seongho grabbed me by the collar?!
김동현
Yeah. I guess he suffered a lot of psychological shock because of that.
김운학
Seongho hyung also lost his memory.
김운학
I don't know about Seongho hyung, but... I think bad guys approached him and distorted his memories...
명재현
How much has Dongmin changed... It's scary to even imagine...
김운학
....
김동현
....
명재현
Why aren't you saying anything?
김동현
Dongmin, we don't know the news either.
김운학
Because we were discharged from the hospital earlier than Dongmin hyung...
I feel more anxious.
He's already a prickly and sensitive kid...
At that moment, a text message arrived on my phone.
Jaehyun, did you forget to practice today? Come to the practice room quickly. - Senior Min-ha
명재현
Oh right, practice!!
How am I supposed to go to practice like this...
김동현
I think it would be a good idea to go there first.
명재현
Yeah...
I washed my face and entered the practice room.
명재현
Sorry I'm late!!
최민하
It's okay~ It's okay to be late once in a while. By the way, what's wrong with being late?
명재현
I'll be careful next time...
서나라
Oh, and Jaehyun, the bass player who was on leave is coming back tomorrow.
명재현
Yes? Then Senior Nara...
서나라
I'm a pinch hitter whenever that kid rests...
서나라
I'll be sharing the festival stage with that kid.
I don't know who the bassist member who took a leave of absence is, but... I got along well with senior Nara...
It was a little disappointing.
안정현
Well, shall we start playing together?
While we were playing together, the door to the practice room opened.
최민하
Huh? You came sooner than expected?
Deep features with drooping eyes...
Dongmin?!
안정현
Are you feeling a little better?
한동민
Oh, yes, it's much better than before.
명재현
Hey, Dongmin!!!!
한동민
Jaehyun...senior...bae....?!
명재현
What the heck... You're so skinny...
한동민
I missed you so much...
Dongmin hugged me while sobbing.
What the heck, was Dongmin really this emotional?
한동민
I'm glad you survived, senior...
최민하
What, do you two know each other?
안정현
The two of them at that joint...
최민하
really?
명재현
Dongmin, stop crying... Calm down...
한동민
Oh... I'm sorry... I'm so overwhelmed...
서나라
First of all, since my junior is here, I'll go out!
After practice, Dongmin and I went for a walk together.
명재현
So Dongmin, what are your side effects...
한동민
Oh, I don't have any side effects!
명재현
Huh? Then why?
한동민
I have some aftereffects from being half-human and half-man... so I collapse quite often... but... well... it's nothing serious...
명재현
Falling down is not a big deal!!
한동민
I'm really okay, aren't I? I've gotten a lot better...
...I still lie because I don't want to worry you...
명재현
It can be cured, right?
한동민
Yes, it will get better soon.
But why can't you look at me when you say that?
명재현
To be honest.
한동민
...a quick cure is difficult.
Dongmin, who was the healthiest among us, became sickly...
From that day on, we all became slightly different people.
한동민
Well, so I'm trying to be kind to the people around me, just in case there's a chance that treatment might become impossible.
한동민
Oh right, how are everyone else doing?
명재현
...I don't know..
한동민
...
명재현
...
한동민
My high school days were so scary... Sometimes I miss them.
한동민
I wasn't lonely back then...
명재현
...me too..
A day that gave me a lot of thoughts has passed.
