The sandbag had 0aa5690ff9 already been pummeled 523538ffc8 to exhaustion. Taehyung, fresh b55e323ac2 from a 81850904a9 shower, tossed 0f92508664 and turned b9848848db in bed, baa37f172d then abruptly 1767f069e7 sat up 44b961dedf and ran 72eaa20b6c his fingers 6b8ac4014a through his 5f70ed8652 innocent hair.577c677cab6ee0e3

Taehyung was miserable. He hadn’t been able to make eye contact with Onyu for days. Forget calling her “Wandu,” he hadn’t even been able to say her name since last Friday, when the cold shoulder suddenly appeared.8ca13a4f1e114f9e

His heart sank the moment he saw the note. He knew instantly it was Onyu’s handwriting. Thanks to some jerk who’d copied from Onyu’s notebook on his desk not long ago, Taehyung had become familiar with her round, pretty script.6c5c47ea27892445

She had smiled so brightly, making his heart flutter, and now she wouldn’t even look at him no matter how much he tried to catch her eye. When they did happen to meet, she quickly looked away.63b665fb451d8ffb

Onyu’s eyes were only 2c742fb517 for her books, the 2523c25341 teacher, and the blackboard. The only 61789a00ad smiles she 8d1d7bb7d3 gave were 1b68213e97 to the ad04dd5040 other girls. He was now at 1aedd72d5f the point of envying 8fab8983ba even the blackboard.ab4345609abc2c56

He’d lost count of how many times he’d walked back and forth between the overpass and the kimbap restaurant near the terminal intersection over the weekend. He kept loitering, hoping for a “chance” encounter. But Onyu never appeared.ad9bf7527e31ac70

Geunsik, who 6b6b5fb5fe had been 4f14150554 drying his 36f148b116 hair, neatly 7cb2627a15 hung the 21a7623f00 towel over 618996aeb1 the back 29a43a6d3a of a 85e4fedcf4 chair and 9507698943 flopped down 98bcbb71f4 behind Taehyung.

At Geunsik’s rebuke, Taehyung shut his mouth. He was just curious how other people expressed their feelings to the girl they liked, how they approached them.31fb628a9156e203

He had no one to ask. He wouldn’t have asked Geunsik if he had other options. If he asked the guys who flocked around him at school, they would only spew dirty jokes. He didn’t want Onyu’s name coming out of those filthy mouths.e5ee347fb9959ce4

[Your mom adored you so much.]

[After you were born, even though she was weak, she wouldn’t let you out of her arms.]

[Pictures? There was a fire, you see. All your mom’s pictures and everything burned up. What’s the point of talking about it? Just makes me sad.]

These few d1a628b220 sentences were e5dabc4ae4 all Taehyung 73b63bb943 could glean dd1a777720 about his 8d02da1294 mother from 41882c43c2 Geunsik, who 60e950342d rarely spoke 3c2367a387 about his b7cff0d2d1 deceased wife.

When he was younger, he resented it. It wasn’t that he disliked his deceased mother. It was that he was upset that he didn’t resemble his father at all.bf34b7b579f09026

He still felt 1a305044ae the same way.
