You shouldn’t like someone like me.
I couldn’t splash mud on Yoon Jung-hoo, who was sure that his life would be a flowery path. He was a precious person. He was the only one who persistently followed me, took care of my lunch box, and talked to me. Even if debtors come to me every day and ask me to sell my body and pay back the money, I was no longer hurt because of Jung-hoo, who called me Sunbae. Yoon Jung-hoo, who packed a lunch box and ate it together with me because he was afraid I would go hungry. I found out that the reason why debtors no longer came to school was because of Jung-hoo.
“Sunbae, I like you.”
When Jaehee heard that confession, she realized that she had to make the decision she had been putting off for so long.
Let’s leave it while it’s still a “maybe,” and when he realizes that he likes me. This is an unsustainable relationship. I would never be able to escape this pit, and Yoon Jung-hoo would eventually be unable to handle it. The flowery path is ideal for Prince Snow White.
I even borrowed money from him and dropped out of school.
It was natural for Jaehee to drop out the moment her uncle abandoned the debt and fled. It was because of Yoon Jung-hoo that I endured a little more, just a little more. After leaving school like that, I hugged Jae-won and cried loud in that cold small room. I couldn’t stop crying because I resented my life as a beggar. I felt bad about not being able to return his love confession.
A memory that will never fade or be erased. And the emotional scars that still remain as clear as yesterday.
“It’s snowing.”
Jaehee looked blankly out the window. Thinking it was snowing, Junghoo came out wearing a coat.
“Yes.”
Emotions quickly blend in and disappear. Jae-hee touched the tightly closed mind. “Don’t open it. No.” She cast a spell in her heart.
Large snowflakes are pouring down, so why didn’t I know while looking out the window? It had been a long time since she had seen snow falling indoors on a bright day.
White and clear snow. Snow that resembled Yoon Jung-hoo.
“Let’s go out for lunch. Should we come back after dinner?”
“Yes, that’s good.”
Jae-hee smiled clumsily. Jeong-hoo lowered his head and kissed her lips.
That feeling.
The lips with hot touch.
“I can see you trying so hard, but I don’t know what to do.”
Her smile was certainly directed towards him. Knowing that better than anyone else, Jung-hoo’s lips curved up. He reached out and took Jaehee’s hand, intertwining their fingers. The feeling of their fingers entwined was nice. The warmth of their tightly pressed palms was being transferred to each other without any gaps in the air.
Holding hands like this with someone, Jae-hee had only done so when she was very young. Jae-hee moved her fingers around curiously because the feeling of the hand she was holding was strange to her.
