"He..He ruined my life! I was getting my revenge, why did you stop me!" Sunwoo replied.
"Yes, yes I know he bullied you in highschool but, it was 10 years ago! We don't even talk anymore! You just straightforward embarrassed yourself in front of people. What happened to you?? Is it really because of how much you drunk?? It's this bad??" Doyoon asked.
"It's obviously not that! I'm going home tonight. See you tomorrow." Sunwoo answered.
Sunwoo walked out and left to his home.
He was excited to see how are his parents were in the future.
"Mom, Dad? I'm home for tonight." Sunwoo yelled through the door.
Sunwoo's father, Seo Jaehyuk opens the door.
"Dad? I missed you." Sunwoo hugged him.
"It's been a while, huh?" Jaehyuk asked.
"Y-yes." Sunwoo answered and sniffled. "Where's Mom?" Sunwoo asked
"Your what?" Jaehyuk asked again.
"Mom.." Sunwoo answered.
Jaehyuk started tearing up.
"Dad, Are you okay???" Sunwoo asked politely.
"Why did you have to remind me?" Jaehyuk asked.
"Remind what?" Sunwoo asked back.
"Her death.."
"Wh-wh-what??"
"What? Why are you acting like this? You're scaring me, Son."
Sunwoo tried to laugh it off, Thinking it was a silly joke.
"Ah.. Wh- Dad. Are you serious?"
"Why are you acting like this? She died years ago. and we still couldn't move on."
Jaehyuk started crying on his knees.
Sunwoo dropped to the floor.
He was too late.
He was in a future where his mother no longer existed.
And he never even got to say goodbye.
Sunwoo took a deep breath and tried to move on.
[The Next Day]
Sunwoo comes back to school with red and teary eyes.
"Are you okay now?' Doyoon asked.
"Yes." Sunwoo said.
"By the way, Sunwoo. I have great news for you. I finally found out the girl's name!" Hyunwoo said.
Sunwoo's sad resting face turned into a slight smile.
"Really? What is it?" Sunwoo asked.
"Baek Yunju." Hyunwoo answered.
"That's a nice name." Doyoon replied.
"Look! It's Yunju!" Hyunwoo yelled and pointed at her.
"Shh! You're so loud! It's embarrassing!" Sunwoo said. He nudged Hyunwoo.
Yunju approached Hyunwoo.
"What?" Yunju asked.
"My friend, Sunwoo. He wants to be your friend." Hyunwoo answered.
"What?? No! Uh, Hello, My name is Sunwoo. Nice to meet you." Sunwoo said while smiling, but Glaring at Hyunwoo.
"Haha, now you two can date!" Doyoon teased and embarrassed them.
"Bitch." Sunwoo whispered to Hyunwoo.
Sunwoo was red as a tomato.
Yunju was shy and tearing up.
"Sorry, I got to go." Yunju said and ran away.
"Wait-" Sunwoo said and ran to ask her.
But Yunju left quickly.
"Bro, I hate to break it to you but she doesn't like you at all." Hyunwoo said while he laughed.
"It's definitely not that. and I don't like her." Sunwoo said.
"You don't like her?? Really?? You need to stop gaslighting yourself." Doyoon said.
"No, seriously. I don't. I don't even know her yet. And if she doesn't want to be friends with me, I don't want to either. She didn't have to run like she was afraid of me.' Sunwoo answered.
"Let's not hide feelings here. you CLEARLY like her. It's like Love at first sight. Come get your girl." Hyunwoo said while nudging Sunwoo.
"Whatever." Sunwoo said and walked away.
[The Next Day]
Yunju came up to Sunwoo.
"H-hi.. I'm sorry for yesterday. I wasn't avoiding you. I was just in a rush. I hope that cleared out misunderstandings." Yunju apologised.
"No, It's fine!" Sunwoo replied.
"I'm sorry if I wasted your time, friend. Goodbye." Yunju said.
Yunju left but Sunwoo pulled her with her shoulders.
"Oh-uh! Sorry. But if it's ok.. Friend? Shall we go to the football game together tomorrow? My friends are coming too." Sunwoo asked.
"I'd love too. but I have more things to do. Maybe next time? Bye." Yunju answered and walked away.
"Why does she always seem so sad and lifeless around me? It's like I'm forcing her to talk to me. But it's only my first time asking. The Next time I do, She'll definitely go with me. But no. I do not like her. I do not like her. I do not like her. I do not like.." Sunwoo was talking to his self at the empty hallways.
