You're just a friend
21. Real Love
김채린
Yeah, okay.
이지훈
love you.
When Jihoon spoke with a smile, Chae-rin said, "Me too," and then laughed along with Jihoon.
이지훈
It's nice to be together like this.
Jihoon and Chaerin said while walking hand in hand.
김채린
me too.
Jihoon and Chaerin stopped walking, looked at each other, and smiled. That smile was the most beautiful smile of all.
The sunset made Chae-rin and Ji-hoon look even more beautiful. The two of them looked like a drama, a romantic drama where they loved each other.
김채린
The reason we became friends was for this moment, right?
I was ogling, but even that was good, because I was with you now.
이지훈
From the moment I met you until now, did you tell me that we were destined to be together?
김채린
What is that, it's creepy.
이지훈
You did it first.
Their playful laughter made them look really happy, not because they were happy in a relationship.
"They were both happy that they were in front of me and that they existed."
김채린
"I'm so happy that you're my friend and my boyfriend, Jihoon."
이지훈
"Chaerin, I'm so happy that you smile in front of me and like me instead of someone else."
Perhaps the friendship between the two is just a prelude to becoming lovers, track 1, running towards the happiness of the present.
이지훈
Ms. Kim Chae-rin.
김채린
huh?
이지훈
Should I go home now?
이지훈
It's already 6 o'clock, I have to go to school tomorrow.
김채린
Is 6 o'clock late?
Jihoon smiled and said, "You're late, kid," then looked at Chaerin.
김채린
Hey, it hasn't fallen off yet.
이지훈
It's going to rain soon, why don't you go and eat?
김채린
I can eat with you.
이지훈
He said he had no money because he had used up all his allowance.
Chaerin said with a look of regret at Jihoon's words.
김채린
Oh... that's right, I used up all my allowance so I have no money...
이지훈
It's a shame, but I'm going home today.
김채린
Okay...I understand.
이지훈
let's go!
문준휘
Wow... Kim Cherry, you're amazing. You're late again today. Even if you hit the agent, it's not a crime. You're a pro. You're a real pro.
전원우
If that bird doesn't come in 5 minutes, I'll smash it and turn it into cherry juice.
권순영
...Kim Cherry, you're just eating rice, you're being so lenient, you'd be lucky if you didn't get a stomachache.
이지훈
Hey, speak nicely.
Jun-hwi, Won-woo, and Soon-young were irritated because they were late again today, and Ji-hoon was just waiting for Chae-rin.
김채린
Hey~
And Chaerin approached me with a bright smile as if she didn't know about the situation.
이지훈
It's not the time to do that, you have to jump out to survive.
전원우
Kim Chae-rin: If being late is studying, you'll just go to Seoul National University?
김채린
Can I take that as a compliment?
권순영
Your life is amazing to hear this as a compliment.
문준휘
Can I kill you? I'm really pissed.
Chaerin, who understood the situation through the children's words, grabbed Jihoon's hand and ran to school.
김채린
See you later!!
권순영
Those two... are they really dating?
전원우
Oh, so that's why Lee Ji-hoon, who used to get the most annoyed when Kim Chae-rin was late, was quiet?
문준휘
That's crazy, those two are dating.
They were friends who were quicker on the uptake than I thought.
이지훈
What if the kids notice?
Jihoon smiled and said to Chaerin.
김채린
So what, you're going to say it?
이지훈
When you say it like that, I have nothing to say?
김채린
right.
As Chaerin and Jihoon were laughing and talking, the classroom door opened with a bang. Jihoon and Chaerin looked towards the door, thinking it was Junhwi, Soonyoung, and Wonwoo, but there were no kids there.
"There was Yeo Woo-rin and Kim Chae-won."
김채린
What, why is Yeorin...?
이지훈
Why is he like that?
Chaewon and Woori approached.
김채원
What the heck, Yeorin?
여우린
uh?
But our behavior was a little strange. We were the ones who had clearly apologized, but we suddenly appeared in front of our friends, Chaerin, and Jihoon.
김채원
Hey guys, I told you we were dating, you heard that right?
아이들
What the heck, are you kidding me that they're dating?// This is fucking creepy.// What on earth were you thinking.// Why are you kidding me?
여우린
N, I heard!
김채원
It looks to me like these two are happily dating, but am I mistaken?
여우린
no...
이지훈
Hey, we're dating, and we're not the ones who are joking about Yeorin stopping this behavior.
이지훈
Aren't you the one who did it? It's annoying.
Jihoon looked at Woorin with a serious expression, and Woorin spoke to Chaerin in an attacking tone.
여우린
Honestly, if it's not a joke, shouldn't Kim Chae-rin, Jun-hwi, Soon-young, and Won-woo not be hanging out together?
여우린
That's why I'm called a fox.
"Squeak"
Our heads turned to the right.
김채린
You bastard, tell me to do it slowly. I told you it was boring, so you shouldn't do it. Get tired too. Please, you only have stamina.
김채원
Phew, did we get hit by a pack of our own?
As we raised our heads, clear, transparent tears fell from our eyes. We wiped our tears and looked at Chaewon.
여우린
What are you...? Aren't you my friend? Why are you taking Kim Chae-rin's side and not mine...
Our voice trembled, and then Chaewon tapped our shoulder with a stern expression.
김채원
Don't do that, I was your friend so I played with you out of pity, but don't you know you're a fox?
"Who wants to be friends with a fox? What if we get cursed at in return? Haha."
We left the classroom with tears streaming down our faces.
김채원
Does that guy always cry and leave when he loses? He's sick, right, Chae-rin?
김채린
Uhh
이지훈
Thanks for helping me, what's your name?
Chaewon smiled at Jihoon's words.
김채원
Kim Chae-won, she's in the class next door.
김채린
Are you in the same class as Kwon Soon-young and Moon Jun-hwi?
김채원
Yeah, same class.
Jihoon thought for a moment and then whispered to Chae-rin.
이지훈
Do you want to hang out with him?
김채린
If you like it, I like it too.
Jihoon smiled brightly like a child at Chae-rin's answer.
김채린
Hey Chaewon.
김채원
huh?
김채린
Do you want to come with us?
