Idol’s Childhood Friend

34 – I don’t like it

“Enjoy it~.”

“”I will eat well!!””

The Class 1 friends who received the hamburger thanked Chaewon, then peeled off the wrapper and ate it deliciously.

What is different about celebrities is that I was thinking of a branded hamburger, but what arrived in front of the school was a food truck specializing in hamburgers.

Thanks to this, not only can they watch hamburgers being made, but they can also eat freshly fried French fries, making it a great time for children.

After saying hello to Chaewon, the camera was briefly withdrawn from the classroom……

“Chaewon, are you okay?”

“First of all, I brought some medicine….”

“You don’t have to do too much.”

As soon as the classroom door closes, the production crew comes to Chaewon and asks how she is doing.

No one else but Ever suffers from body aches.

Of course, we don’t know for sure because Chaewon never mentioned that she was sick and didn’t show any signs of distress, but since the production team knew that she was still busy preparing for the world tour, they had no choice but to be more sensitive to Chaewon’s condition.

“It’s okay. Producer Sihyeon brought me medicine earlier, so I felt much more comfortable.”

Chaewon knows these worries well, so she smiles even more without showing it.

“Everyone, please come and have lunch. “You prepared early today, so you didn’t even have a proper breakfast.”

“Rather than that, Chaewon, you should go to the hospital right now.”

“You will get better if you rest for a bit in the health room. So don’t worry, just enjoy your meal.”

Even though Chaewon kept smiling, the production team couldn’t easily take their steps.

That’s right, when I checked the temperature, it was already above 37 degrees. If he overexerted himself a little more, it would not be surprising if he developed a high fever.

I also want to stop filming and go to the hospital, but……

“First, try as hard as you can. “If I quit here, it would be a shame for my classmates in Class 1, but more than anything, Chaewon said it was okay.”

It was you who asked me to trust you.

It was you who said you would trust me.

I also want to trust you.

“I will stay with Chaewon. “If it doesn’t work out, I’ll call you in the health room, PD.”

“… ….”

“And if you feel even the slightest bit strange, you tell us right away.”

The producer and Chaewon take turns looking at each other and talking.

Both of them showed a dazed expression, but each minute and every second was disappointing.

“Yes, I understand….”

“… I will contact the company to cancel the afternoon shoot. “I’ll just finish filming today until I get to school.”

The two people nod their heads and quickly come to a conclusion.

+++

“Wow, this is the first public health room in a few years, right?”

“Lay down. “Don’t get upset for no reason.”

I say something to Chaewon, who is looking around, and work hard to make a wet towel for her to put on her forehead.

“Don’t close the window. “It feels good to hear the sound of rain.”

“… “It’s cold, so get under the blanket.”

“Yes~.”

I fall from the window and approach you lying on the bed. He pulls a chair nearby and sits down next to it, and squeezes out the water from the soaked towel.

Just as I was about to carefully shake off the water from my hand and place it on my forehead.

“…… “What is that expression?”

He looks angry for some reason.

With a wicked smile, as if everything was going as he wanted, he moistened his fingers with water and splashed it on her face.

“Oh, a car?!”

“I’m proud of being sick.”

“… I wonder if I’m dreaming right now. “Min takes care of me like this.”

“If anyone heard this, would they think I was a cold-blooded Korean who would leave a sick child alone?”

“Wow. Wasn’t it?”

You smiled brightly as you wiped the water off her face.

I look at your face and gently place the wet towel on your forehead. A satisfied expression appears on her face at the cool sensation.

“Can you not eat a hamburger?”

“Don’t worry, you can eat it later. “Who are you worrying about now in the first place?”

“Isn’t this what it means to be a good friend?”

“Anyway, keep your mouth open.”

With a shallow smile on your lips, you take out your cell phone that you brought with you from your pocket.

“I will contact the manager in advance. “Please prepare to go to the hospital immediately after filming.”

“Do you know the password?”

“You can do it like this, what’s the problem?”

Easily unlock the phone by holding it to your face. Chaewon looked blank at the solution, which was so easy……

“My password is the eight digits of your military service number?”

“… What?”

Each other’s expressions changed in an instant.

Even though I thought it might not be possible, my hand turned off the screen again and then pressed the number.

… What, why is it true?

“Are you kidding me?”

“Why? “Men make public certificates and other things with their military numbers, but I can do that too, right?”

“So why are you making it mine?”

“You are the only man around me who went to the military.”

“…… Under. “How am I supposed to accept this?”

“Han Chae-won is Min’s?”

“…… I could film until the end. “It doesn’t seem to hurt that much.”

I press the nose of Jiji-bae, who is talking nonsense, and lean comfortably on the backrest.

The sound of rain and a cool breeze coming through the slightly open window.

Quietly feel all of those things, put new water on the wet towel, wring it out, and place it on your forehead again.

I slightly avoid your gaze, which is looking at me with two dirty eyes.

“Sigh. “I’ll wake you up 10 minutes early.”

“Then what are you doing?”

“You should be watching. I said that to PD, but if your symptoms get any worse…….”

“It’s refreshing.”

“…… “Huh?”

“How can you openly say that you will look at the face of a sleeping woman?”

“Shall we go out?”

“I’m sorry.”

You quickly grab my hand and shake your head slightly.

Why are you saying this when you’re going to back off like this?

“Your hands are hot.”

“Yes. But your hands are cool and feel good.”

“Are you playing a trick?”

“It hurts, but can’t you help me just like this?”

“… ….”

“Am I a patient? Do I need to take care of it?”

“… “What really hurts is not even the civil service position.”

Ha, I take a deep breath and feel the body heat of my joined hands.

If you keep holding it like this, you will get cold hands and feet and things like that, and it will become lukewarm.

If it were me in the past, I would have let go before even asking if I was being manipulative……

“Close your eyes and sleep comfortably. “You have to work hard during music class.”

I don’t want to miss it.

I know best that my heart is different, but I don’t want to let go of this hand I held so hard twice.

“I always feel this way, but as long as I lie down in the health room, I can surprisingly fall asleep….”

You mumble softly and slowly close your eyes.

I also quietly close my eyes and listen to your voice slowly fading away.

“Yumin.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you for trusting me.”

“… ….”

“Honestly, I was skeptical. I was honestly worried about what would happen if you said no. But, you said these concerns so strongly that it was embarrassing?”

“… “Because I promised.”

You smile brightly and hold my hand tighter.

Now, even if I relax my strength, I can’t let go, and your and my hands, which were hot and cold, have now become lukewarm.

“I want to walk around campus with you later.”

“… “There’s nothing you can’t do.”

“Oh, I want to go to the amusement park too. “I’m the first one in the morning and the last one to come out.”

“… “I guess we’ll have to wait and see about my physical strength.”

“And I also want to spend time looking at various things at a huge department store or shopping mall. “I’m into clothes, but you’re into interior design?”

“You can both go. “Is there anything difficult?”

When people talk about where they want to go in the future, they answer quietly while imagining what it would be like.

As if you had a cheat sheet somewhere, you naturally talked about the places you wanted to go, one after another, and as you thought about each place one by one, there was only one thought.

Now I am the only one standing still that day.

And that you like me a lot.

“Good. “Do I have to feel pain periodically after having you next to me, holding my hand and listening to my stories?”

“Don’t be stupid.”

“That’s how happy this time is for me. “It’s okay to say such nonsense.”

“… ….”

“Thank you for thinking about it again. For trusting me….”

The strength in our joined hands begins to loosen.

The soft breathing was now trembling slightly with difficulty, and the voice that had been incessant was heard intermittently.

It hasn’t even been long since I laid down in bed, so I can’t stand the torrent of sleep.

How sleepy and tired you must have been.

“Sleep well. “I’ll see you later.”

Gently apply strength to your hands and slowly open your eyes.

I saw your slightly frowning expression.

I spent a lot of time looking at your face, and it was only when I no longer felt the strength to hold my hand that I was able to change the wet towel that had become lukewarm.

I mutter quietly.

“I don’t like it.”

I hope you don’t get hurt. I hope you don’t get sick, and I hope you don’t get upset over something for no reason.

“I don’t like it.”

Just like you, who had many places I wanted to go with, there are places I also want to be with you.

Unlike you, it’s not a place with a lot of people, but I think our tendencies are always different……

“I don’t like you.”

If not you, there is no one who can take me to that place.

“I love you———.”

You can’t deceive.

No matter how much I repeat it, my answer is you, so how can you deceive me?

“It was long. Also, throwing a tantrum….”

All the words that were slowly and strongly recited are broken by the sound of rain.

I stretched out my hand again, and very carefully clasped it again.

“Don’t be sick. Chaewon.”

Even if it ends the same way as before.

I have completely forgotten how not to love you.
