TRWBU Ch 1 part 2

PR by neji

Ah, was today that day?

HaYeon froze in front of the front door when she heard the boisterous noises coming from inside.

“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.”

“Aigoo, our WooHyun is a good talker. Say ‘Happy birthday, Mommy’.”

“Omo, look at him babble. So cute, our WooHyun!”

Harmonious voices flowed out from behind the door. They belonged to her stepmother and her stepmother’s sisters. They were having a party celebrating her stepmother’s birthday.

Now that she had a stepmother, they were technically her aunts. However, it was still very awkward between them. Whenever they met HaYeon, they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves. HaYeon was the same. She couldn’t call her stepmother ‘mother’, so there was no way she could call them ‘aunt’. 

“Thank you. I’m seriously so happy thanks to all of you.”

HaYeon could hear her father’s gruff voice saying, ‘Happy birthday.’ She could even hear her two-year-old brother gurgling.

Her father must have presented her stepmother her gift. She heard her stepmother’s deeply moved voice, and she heard the sisters let out envious sighs. While the group of them chattered in the bright light, HaYeon remained silent in the dark.

HaYeon’s hand, which was clenched around the doorknob, limply fell down to her side.

“She’ll be back at nighttime because she’s at school for self-study, right?”

Was this the reason why her stepmother had gone out of the norm to ask her about it this morning? She answered back with a ‘yes’, and her stepmother merely replied with ‘I see.’ as she gave her a relieved smile. HaYeon gazed at the light coming out through the windows before turning around.

This was the one and only gift she could give her stepmother. It was to not participate in her birthday party.

‘The school ceiling was leaking, so they canceled self-study. I haven’t eaten dinner yet.’ If she said these words, her stepmother would do her best not to betray her true thoughts, but she would ultimately be disappointed.

Her stepmother loved her father, and she loved WooHyun, who had been born between them. However, she only raised HaYeon out of a sense of duty.

And her father didn’t know what to do with his grown-up daughter from his previous wife. Rather than conversing with her, her conservative father merely gave her orders and commands.

“You need to go to medical school.”

“A woman must be modest. That’s how you’ll meet a good husband.”

These were the only kinds of things her father said to her.

After leaving her house, HaYeon stood in the street as if she were lost. She was overwhelmed by loneliness. She felt as if she were being pushed out of the entire world.

She didn’t have anywhere to go, so she stopped by the convenience mart and bought herself a triangle kimbap before heading towards the playground. She sent Jiyoon and YulHee a text, but there wasn’t a response. They said they were going out for karaoke, and it seemed that they had left their phones somewhere and were having a grand old time.

How many hours should she stay at the playground?

She sat on the swing and looked up at the sky. She saw the white cherry blossoms shaking against the black night sky.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

They bloomed at their peak but only lasted for a moment. But they shone so brightly when they were in bloom. Was that why they were her favorite flower?

HaYeon closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She imagined how the cherry blossom petals would sprinkle down in a few days’ time.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t imagine the beautiful sight. She could only recall the conversation she had happened to overhear a few days ago.

“HaYeon will move out after she graduates high school, right?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

It was her stepmother’s voice, hoping that she would move out as soon as she graduated.

“Yes, she should.”

And her father who approved it. And the sound of laughter coming from WooHyun, who knew nothing about it. The three of them were a perfect family, and she was the only stranger. She’d forget this fact, but then she’d be reminded of it on days like this. Her heart stung.

She could hear the sound of footsteps traveling in the wind. HaYeon opened her eyes. A guy had walked over to her while her eyes were closed and was now looking at her.

I was right. It’s you.

Taewan’s eyes seemed to be relaying these words to her. When her half-lidded eyes met his, they immediately widened. HaYeon blinked and couldn’t stop the single tear from escaping her eye. She quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand, but there was no way he hadn’t noticed.

“What are you doing here?”

HaYeon lowered her head as she asked.

She didn’t know what to say in response, so HaYeon remained silent. Taewan sat down on the swing next to her. It must have been uncomfortable because he stretched out his long legs.

Creak. Creak.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

The swing swayed. Taewan looked forward as he asked.

“Have you eaten?”

“You said you’d respond if I talked to you.”

HaYeon shook her head.

“Good. I’m hungry.”

“I’m really hungry, and I have no one to eat with. Will you buy me a meal?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

HaYeon lifted her head at his unexpected request. Taewan was looking down at the triangle kimbap in her hand. As HaYeon hid the kimbap a beat too late, his gaze turned to her face.

“I’m keeping your work as a model a secret. I’m asking you to buy me a meal.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

“……”

“You don’t want to?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to. While it had only been a month, Kang Taewan hadn’t really spoken to her. So his sudden request asking her to buy him a meal was strange. HaYeon hesitated. He plunged his hand into his school uniform pant pocket and spoke up.

“If you don’t want to, I’ll buy. Let’s go.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

It didn’t look like he was going to let this go.

“I said let’s go. Don’t just sit there brooding over it.”

After he urged her one more time, HaYeon stood up. She felt that it would be better for her to follow Taewan instead of sitting here all alone.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

She was hungry. And she didn’t want to be alone in the dark.

That’s why HaYeon decided to follow Kang Taewan.

The place Taewan took her to was a small snack bar that sold ddeokbokki. It had sturdy tables that were stuck together, and it was quite far from their school.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

He told her that he always came here when he was hungry and naturally walked over to the spot in the corner. He must have been a regular here because he found the fish cake stew and the forks with ease and held them up to her. After sharing a few joking words with the ahjumma owner, he came back with ddeokbokki, soondae, and fried vegetables.

“Your girlfriend is pretty.”

The ddeokbokki shop owner spoke up, and HaYeon flinched as she raised her head. She was waiting for Taewan to tell her that it wasn’t the case.

However, Taewan merely pressed his lips together and smiled, but he didn’t say anything. While he ate the ddeokbokki, Taewan remained silent. HaYeon ate a few ddeokbokki before glancing up at him.

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

Although he ate rather quickly, none of the sauce was smudged around his lips, and none of the stew had dripped onto the table. Although this wasn’t a term that was usually associated with someone who was eating ddeokbokki, she thought he seemed very graceful. Was it because he was a social butterfly? Even though he was wearing a school uniform, he seemed very mature.

Then she noticed that his shirt was very worn out. It was clean, so she hadn’t noticed it before. But if she looked closely, it was quite old. She could tell that it had been washed over and over again. She recalled what her aunt had told her about his situation.

Taewan lifted his head, and their eyes met. He must have noticed where she had been looking, and his hand rubbed the hem of his shirt.

“Why? Did I spill something?”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

“No.”

At HaYeon’s answer, Taewan’s face hardened. He touched the worn part of the hem and realized what had happened. He looked like a person whose difficult life had been exposed. He didn’t say anything for a while before lowering his head and continuing to eat his ddeokbokki. Then he abruptly spoke up.

“When I become an adult, I’m going to live well.”

It came so out of the blue.

“Yeah, I think you will.”

HaYeon didn’t hesitate to respond. She was being sincere. Kang Taewan would turn out well. He seemed surprised by her reply. Taewan put his fork down.

“Why do you think that?”

Taewan asked with a strange expression on his face.

“You’ll be successful.”

HaYeon spoke in earnest one more time. Taewan didn’t say anything as he gazed at her. Several emotions flashed across his eyes, but she couldn’t read any of them. They flashed by so quickly, and they were too deep. Only he knew what they were.

She wanted him to share those emotions with her, but she was also afraid that if he shared them, their relationship would change. HaYeon looked away.

After they finished their ddeokbokki and exited the snack bar, a lot of time had passed. Taewan paid the bill.

Once he walked out of the snack bar, he didn’t say anything and merely led her somewhere else. HaYeon, who didn’t have anywhere to go, walked next to him.

“…Next time, I’ll buy you something more delicious.”

When she heard this, HaYeon slowly turned her eyes to him. The face where all those emotions had flashed through was now stiff.

“Next time?”

She asked to confirm if he wanted to meet with her again.

“Yeah. I’ll buy you a meal at a place with a better vibe. A place where we can be comfortable. Right now, the places I know are all similar to this place, so…”

His eyes awkwardly looked up at the streetlamp.

He noticed.

HaYeon mused. Just as she had noticed the worn-out hem of his clothing, he had noticed her loneliness.

He didn’t ask her for the reason why she felt this way. He didn’t try to make a lame excuse to sympathize with her or console her. As if he knew the lame excuses could lead to even more pain.

HaYeon knew that Taewan was walking slower to match her speed, but she pretended not to notice.

They had nothing to do, so they circled the neighborhood twice. Neither of them brought up the suggestion to go back home. If they went somewhere, HaYeon knew she’d have to spend money. But she was afraid that Taewan would try to pay for her, so she didn’t dare suggest it. 

As they went round and round, they ultimately ended up back at the playground and sat on the swings again. At first, they didn’t speak much. Taewan gradually began to ask her questions, and slowly, the conversation flowed naturally.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

They didn’t speak about anything particularly important. They talked about their tests, about school, and how she liked cherry blossoms the best. That was all.

As some time passed by, he slowly opened up about his grandmother. He spoke about how he lived with his grandmother and how his grandmother wasn’t feeling very well.

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

He didn’t mention his difficult life or how he made money to support his family. Then they began to talk about modeling for magazines. Whenever they talked about something related to modeling, HaYeon would speak more than she usually did.

This was the first time she could speak so openly about this to someone other than her aunt. But her aunt was a photographer, so she wouldn’t be able to understand the worries that only the models thought about. Compared to her aunt, Taewan understood her problems very quickly without her having to explain it at length.

Sympathy and sharing.

The mere fact that she had found this was exciting. They spoke happily for a while. Soon, everything gradually became silent again. When she turned her head, she saw Taewan leaning his head against the swing chain as he gazed at her.

His lips were smiling, but his eyes were serious. The wind blew, and his hair rustled in the wind before settling down again.

Why was he staring at her like that? She wanted to ask him if he had something to say, but the words wouldn’t come out. It was a bit embarrassing and awkward, so she pressed her lips together.

“You talk a lot, don’t you?”

Taewan’s casual remark caused HaYeon to squeeze her mouth shut.

After saying that, he checked the time and stood up. Having missed the timing to ask him why, she got up from the swing a moment later.

“I think self-study will have ended around now, right?”

“I think I can go home now.”

HaYeon checked her wristwatch and spoke up.

When they had reached her house, Taewan stood back a step. HaYeon turned around and looked at him. This was the first time someone had walked her home, so she wasn’t sure how to say goodbye.

“This is my house. Thanks for taking me home.”

She brooded over it for a moment before she decided to give him her thanks. Taewan glanced up at her house before turning his eyes back to her.

“I’ll go inside, then.”

She turned around first.

“Wait.”

HaYeon froze at Taewan’s call. He held out a plastic bag stamped with the logo of a convenience store chain.

“…Why are you giving this to me?”

On their way to her house, Taewan told her that he needed to stop by the convenience store to get something. He came out with this plastic bag.

“I bought this for you.”

HaYeon didn’t take it and merely stared. Taewan took her hand and forced her to hold the plastic bag. HaYeon’s eyes went from the plastic bag to his hand that was holding hers. His hand was so large that she wondered if they were even the same age.

Squeeze.

His hand tightened around hers. Startled, HaYeon looked up at him. Taewan merely smiled and slowly let go of her hand.

“Thankfully, it doesn’t look like you’re hurt anywhere. Go inside. See you tomorrow.”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Before she could say anything, Taewan stepped back a few paces as he waved his hand. By the time HaYeon remembered to raise her own hand and wave, he had already turned the corner and disappeared.

When she couldn’t see him anymore, she finally looked back down at the plastic bag. Now that she returned to her senses, she realized that it was quite heavy. When she untied it, she was able to see its contents.

Banana milk, melon milk, a lunchbox from the convenience store, and candy. When she saw that he had taken care to select a meal and some snacks, a smile stretched across her lips.

It felt as if a cool rain was falling down on a hot day. The loneliness that seemed to float around on the hot summer roads was washed away by the rain.

As if the dinner and the conversations they’d shared were a secret, neither of them brought it up. Nothing changed when they saw each other at school the next day.

The only difference was that they now said a few more words to each other than they did before. And even when they did, it was something like, ‘It’s time for lunch. Enjoy your food.’

After saying this, Taewan would head to the cafeteria with his friends. Another thing that changed was that Taewan’s textbooks would frequently disappear.

Because the distance between them had grown closer, HaYeon found it hard to breathe comfortably. She could feel his gaze, and when she turned her head to the side, their eyes would meet. Then his lips would stretch into a smile before he looked down.

His textbooks weren’t the only things going missing. His pens, pencils, erasers. They all disappeared. And every time they did, Taewan would ask HaYeon if he could borrow one. When he returned it to her, he’d always bring a carton of banana milk.

Their ambiguous relationship changed two weeks later. The sky was blue, and the pink cherry blossoms were in full bloom. It was a particularly clear, fine day. Just looking out the window would fill anyone with happiness.

After eating lunch, HaYeon went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. As she returned to her classroom, she heard a commotion.

HaYeon squeezed through the group of students and managed to enter her classroom. She froze in her spot. One of her classmates, SungWoon, was on his back between two chairs that had tumbled over. SungWoon’s face was a mess, and he was panting as he tried to get up.

“Fuck, what did I ever do to you? Why are you coming at me and doing all this shit?”

SungWoon looked upset as he turned around and yelled out to the back of the classroom. HaYeon turned to see who was standing there. It was Kang Taewan. He must still have been angry, because he walked over to his desk, picked it up along with his chair, and threw it. They landed in front of SungWoon.

“G-Go away!”

SungWoon yelled out in a frightened voice. Kang Taewan didn’t say anything and kicked SungWoon’s stomach.

Thump. HaYeon couldn’t help but block her ears at that sound. She stared at Taewan. 

Kang Taewan looked completely different from the boy she knew. His face was dripping in such cold anger that it wouldn’t have surprised her if he could kill someone right now.

“What is all this ruckus?!”

The students had gone to call a teacher, and he had finally arrived. The teacher struck the door as he shouted out. When he saw SungWoon and Taewan in the middle of the room, his face twisted in anger.

“You two, come with me!”

Kang Taewan was the first to turn around at the teacher’s order. Their eyes met. He seemed a bit surprised, but he brushed past her with a resigned look on his face.

As he walked by, the hems of his clothes grazed her skin, and a breeze rustled her hair. The breeze made her heart flutter.

When HaYeon turned around, Kang Taewan had already disappeared.

Not long after that incident, the school was turned upside-down once again. Everyone thought it was just a pair of classmates fighting over something trivial, but this was not the case.

SungWoon had used his cell phone to secretly film the girls in his class. He’d film during the period before gym, and he had about a month’s worth of videos stored in his phone.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

The teachers didn’t want to damage the school’s reputation and tried to keep it hush-hush, but the rumors had already spread throughout the school within a few hours. According to the rumors, there were videos of classmates he had last year as well as those he had this year.

“Is he crazy? We don’t know if it’s already on his computer.”

“Disgusting.”

The girls who were in the same class as him rubbed their arms to get rid of their goosebumps. HaYeon was one of the girls who had been filmed. She had never spoken to SungWoon before, but she was in the same class as him last year.

She was angry and felt violated, but she didn’t know how to express it. So she just clenched her fists. She had never experienced this kind of humiliation before.

When SungWoon had returned to class, he must have known that the rumors had already spread because his head was lowered to his chest as he came inside. Murmurs began to fill the classroom.

The girls whispered without trying to hide their words. SungWoon’s face twisted in agony, but he couldn’t lift his head. His ears began to grow red.

One of the girls in his class was definitely going to report this to the police. They wouldn’t let this slide. Other students murmured this as a threat. SungWoon trembled in anger, but he couldn’t express it.

Creak.

An hour later, Kang Taewan opened the door and entered the classroom. He immediately walked to SungWoon. Then he stood in front of his desk as if he was still angry with him. He shoved SungWoon from his seat before rummaging through his desk and backpack.

“Hey! What are you doing?!”

As Taewan emptied the backpack, a cell phone fell out onto the floor. Taewan snatched it and held it up.

“If you come back with a phone ever again, you’re dead.”

“Did I ever take pictures of you? Why are you acting like this?! You son of a bitch! It’s all your fault that things turned out like this, fuck! It’s all your fault! I’m ruined now!”

SungWoon’s body began to shake. He mustered up the courage to approach the popular Taewan and tried to become friends with him by showing him some of the videos on his phone. Since they were both guys, SungWoon felt that Taewan would definitely enjoy these types of videos. However, the only thing he received was a curse and his pounding fists.

On top of that, the situation had grown too big to handle. After all of this was revealed, he was branded as a ‘pervert’ by the whole school. The teachers were definitely going to call his parents. His parents called him to ask what was going on, but he didn’t know what to say in response.

Because of everything that was to come, he felt that his future had already become so gloomy.

“I’ll only say this once, but don’t you dare carry a cell phone in front of me from now on. If you’re going to carry it around, you’ll get the same treatment you got today. Got it? And you should go through some self-reflection. I know you wouldn’t have done something like this if you were the type to self-reflect, but you should still try it. You trash bastard.”

After threatening SungWoon, Taewan turned around. He walked over to the seat next to HaYeon and noisily sat down.

All of the eyes in the classroom were focused on Taewan. Taewan ignored all of it and just glared at the front of the room.

The students expressed their anger in their own way. Compared to all this chaos, the two seats in the back were very quiet. HaYeon tried to keep her eyes to the front of the room, but she slightly turned her head and glanced at Taewan. There was a tiny scratch on his cheek.

As she stared at the back of his head, a wave of emotions rushed through her. However, HaYeon couldn’t tell the emotions apart, so she couldn’t tell what they were.
