Why has it changed so much?
Ep. 1


We were friends.


김여주
Haha ...


강다니엘
I don't like it~ I don't like it~

That was the last we saw of Daniel.


김여주
What? Studying abroad? So suddenly?


강다니엘
Yeah. Actually, I've known for a month, but I couldn't say anything because I was afraid of losing my mind.


김여주
....So when are you going?


강다니엘
tomorrow..

The only one who took care of me,

The only one who smiled at me,

My only friend, Daniel, with whom I had a connection,

One day, he suddenly immigrated to the United States.


강다니엘
Take care. I'll be back soon.


김여주
When are you coming?


강다니엘
One year. Just wait one year. Let's enter middle school together in the first year.


김여주
February 19th, 2012! Today is the day you went abroad to study. If you don't come back on February 19th, 2013, I'll die.


강다니엘
Haha, what are you going to do until you die again? Okay. I'll definitely come back.


강다니엘
.....don't forget my face.


김여주
How could I forget you, you idiot! You were the best friend I've ever had.


강다니엘
Phew- What is life like for a thirteen year old kid... hehe


김여주
You're thirteen now, and you talk like an adult?

"Niel-, it's almost time for the flight. Hurry up and say goodbye to Yeoju."


강다니엘
I guess that won't work. Let's take a picture of us so you don't forget my face.


김여주
...You don't believe me? Okay, okay.


강다니엘
Mom - Please take a picture of me and Yeoju.

"Haha, okay~ Go stand in front of the slide over there. That's where you guys often play, right? Haha"

"Okay, here we go. One, two, three-!"

Unfortunately, Daniel,

Also on February 19, 2013,

Also on February 19, 2014,

Even after 3 years,

Even after 5 years,

Didn't come back.

Six years later, in 2018.


김여주
Oh, Mom, I'm moving? Then what about my friends?


Kim Yeo-ju / 19 years old

"You won't be able to make friends there? You're so sociable."


김여주
No, I know that, but how can you move away and leave Bae Joo-hyun behind?

"It's okay if we meet often, Joohyun! It's not that far away~"


김여주
Aaaah, I don't want to move.

"I'm already so tired from packing right now, do you think Mom will be happy if you whine, Princess?"


김여주
Phew.....

So I ended up moving to a place an hour away from my neighborhood.


김여주
.....Kang Daniel, you're not coming till the end.

Before moving, Daniel and I said goodbye for the last time at the playground where we used to play a lot.

The reason I don't want to move is,

It's also because I don't want to be separated from Bae Joo-hyun,

Daniel, I was waiting in case you came.


김여주
You said you'd come in a year, you idiot.


김여주
It's been 6 years... When will you come?

I sat alone in front of the slide, where I had last taken a picture with Daniel six years ago, and muttered while looking at the picture.


김여주
Hey, what am I doing alone?

Even though I knew it wouldn't come anyway, I waited with only 1% hope, and I was so tired.


김여주
Goodbye, slide!

I patted the slide once and got up from my seat feeling relieved.

"Hey hey- Is that a new tint from Etide? "

"You're crazy, you're so damn pretty."

"No one is better at bagging than me."

"Damn it, what's your highest kill count? LOL"

Drumroll-

선생님
Anyway, these things get quiet as soon as I come in, right?

" .......... "

선생님
Today I have some news that you guys will love the most.

Groan groan-

"Isn't the news that we like the most that you're buying us chicken?"

"Hey, crazy, are you a transfer student...?"

"Man! Man! Man!"

"Woman! Woman! Woman!"

선생님
Hey, transfer student! Come in.

Drumroll-



김여주
Hello? I'm Yeoju, Kim Yeoju.

"Wow, so pretty."

The kids in this neighborhood seemed okay too.


김여주
'All the kids look so smart..'

Perhaps because it was a neighborhood where people studied well, the kids' eyes were all bright and cute.


김여주
' ....uh? '

As I turned my head to look around the classroom, I saw a familiar face.

I was lying down, but I knew it because it was so familiar.


김여주
Kang Daniel...?

I carelessly said the name Kang Daniel, which I had only said in my mind, and the child who had been lying down got up smoothly.


김여주
......!!

Indeed, Kang Daniel was right.

선생님
Do you know Daniel?


김여주
Yes! Of course, hey Kang Da-nyun! You came to Korea, why didn't you contact me?


강다니엘
shut up.


김여주
uh....?

Six years was such a long time for us.

I guess you only missed me.

When I met Daniel again six years later, he was so cold to me.
