Chapter 14 Part 1
****
“Hey, pick it up, you crazy.”
“Is that my ball, or yours?”
“You threw it.”
A quarreling voice ca from out there. Soon soone ca into the alley.
I was surprised for a mont because there were quite a lot of people coming to pick up the ball, but soon I stepped inside.
I saw the face of the person who was standing up after leaning down. I made eye contact with him who wore a night jumper hood.
It was Seon-jae.
“Uh, uh…” My eyes grew bigger as I looked at his face. In the anti, Seon-jae turned his eyes away indifferently, as if he had forgotten my face completely.
No, you can’t look away like that!
I looked at Seon-jae as if I wanted him to save from these students. I stretched my neck, hoping that our eyes would et again.
“Huh? Is it Seon-jae?”
The kids, who had been quarrelling till now, smiled when they saw Seon-jae.
Seon-jae, who had a soccer ball on his side and his hands in the pockets of his night jumper, said, “Oh, hi,” Our eyes t very briefly and he turned around.
No! You can’t go like that. If you don’t save , the kids here will take back there again!
“Ryu Seon-jae!” I cried urgently.
After leaving the alley, Seon-jae stopped and looked back.
I couldn’t say things like ‘don’t go’ or ‘take with you’, as there were many people whose ears were keenly listening to what I was about to say.
I blinked my eyes several tis and said, “Don’t go” and smiled sadly…
“Hey, you didn’t find the ball?” Baek In-hyuk, who suddenly ca in, was quite bewildered by the unexpected people and circumstances. I changed the subject and sent a rescue signal to Baek In-hyuk. Our eyes t…
“Uh?” Baek In-hyuk opened his eyes round and pretended to know.
Yes, it’s , get out of here!
Baek In-hyuk said, “Oh, I don’t know…” As he said this, he turned around and left the alley.
I groaned and lowered my head, and suddenly my body shook. Soone grabbed the hood of my coat and pulled into a corner.
When I opened my eyes in shock, Seon-jae looked down at with a grim face. “Long ti no see.”
“Uh?”
He then grabbed my coat and started walking.
“Wait, what is it? Why are you taking her?” As one of the crowd mbers grabbed my arm, Seon-jae turned around.
I pulled the hood of the coat that Seon-jae was holding and he pulled away from the person holding my arm.
“I have so work with her.”
Seon-jae, who said so, left the alley without holding my hood.
“Thanks.” I smiled as a sign of gratitude for saving , but Seon-jae’s expression was cold.
“Neither I nor In-hyuk know you. Did you suddenly want us to pretend to know you because you were crowded in the corner alone?”
“Ah, ? That, that’s not it.”
I stuttered without knowing. Seon-jae made eye contact and turned his head.
As I ca out of the alley, I saw Baek In-hyuk eating Taiyaki bread. Baek In-hyuk, who saw being dragged by Seon-jae, opened his eyes wide with Taiyaki in his mouth.
The appearance of being dragged by Seon-jae while holding the hood was similar to the person who got caught stealing Seon-jae’s money.
“What? Why are you both coming together?”
“That’s it. Let’s go.”
Baek In-hyuk quickly took money out of his pocket, counted them, and paid the bill. He stood side by side and wiped his face.
I felt like he was looking at with a weird expression. I frowned and glanced at Baek In-hyuk. When I t him at Seon-jae’s funeral, he pretended as if he didn’t know .
“Well, why are you looking at ? You can’t even recognise . Why are you looking at ?”
Baek In-hyuk looked surprised as he said, “huh?”.
“Hey, that’s so weird. When I had asked you to stop pretending that you don’t know , you still behaved as if you didn’t know .”
“I-I…” Baek In-hyuk glanced at Seon-jae.
“Did you hit her head?” Seon-jae and Baek In-hyuk turned their heads towards to look at , as if it was strange.
I got up and patted my skirt. I saw Seon-jae carrying his bag which was lying next to the goal post.
“Why didn’t you listen to ?”
“What do you an?”
I wriggled my lips and bit them.
“Don’t take sleeping pills even if you can’t sleep.”
In other words, taking cold dicine and sleeping pills together is deadly. However, talking about the letter I had put in the drawer, made the atmosphere here awkward and strange.
On the day Seon-jae ntioned about it, the ti travel to the past ended and nothing changed from the original ti. That ans the day had ended with complete dissatisfaction and nothing changed.
Seeing that Baek In-hyuk didn’t rember , I was buried in ti. My warning and too…
Now that I ca back to the past again, I thought I shouldn’t let it be buried in their mory this ti.
“I need a gym jacket. So let’s make a deal at 6 o’clock tomorrow at Mc-Donald’s.”
Seon-jae stared at without saying anything. While Baek In-hyuk was looking at my face and Seon-jae’s face, who was holding the ball.
“I don’t sell it.” Seon-jae said and Baek In-hyuk’s eyes darted towards .
I hesitated and raised my index finger this ti. “10,000 won?” I raised another finger. “20,000 won?”
