053. she asked.

My suspicion that Doa was avoiding me turned into a certainty when I came to school.

At first, I thought it was just my mood, but after the class, there was no doubt anymore.

“Doaya!”

no. You saw me calling!

Even after turning her head back and even making eye contact with me, Doa suddenly went down the stairs.

As I started to run after her, I felt my breathing quicken.

My body, lying all day and watching streaming on my phone, wasn’t very specialized for running.

who would have known

To think that Han Tae-min would run through the campus chasing a girl who was running away.

If someone had told me about my future a year ago, I would have sneered unconditionally and replied that it was bullshit.

Confirming that Doah was turning left at the far entrance, I immediately turned my body.

It seemed like it would be quicker to go out the side door.

And I was finally able to talk to her.

“Yai. Why do you keep running away?”

cadet. short of breath

oh I’m dying.

When I put my hand on her shoulder in case she would run away, Doa looked up at me like a frightened mouse.

“Uh… where are you from?”

“Through the side door.”

I carefully examine Doa’s face.

I must have been out of breath, so my cheeks were red.

However, her reaction created an atmosphere similar to that of a middle school student who was caught in the dark.

“Doaya.”

Place the other hand on her shoulder.

“…yes?”

“Why are you avoiding me?”

“…brother.”

“Did I do something wrong? Or did I do something wrong?”

The frustration accumulated in the heart is conveyed through the mouth.

“No. No. There’s no such thing. That…”

Doa blurting her horse’s tail.

what. Did you have a big accident that is hard to say like this…!

Instead of sweat from the heat, cold sweat seemed to run down my forehead.

Those cherry-like little lips uttered the next words.

“Sah… there are too many people, but.”

…yes? Person?

Except for Doa, the scenery that seemed blurry to everyone else returns to its place.

People glancing at us on the way past class after class.

On the other side, I could see the kids from my class talking openly.

The hand that wrapped around Doa’s shoulder returns to its place.

“Oh sorry.”

Haa… Han Tae-min… What are you doing! you!

It annoyed me that I gave Doa the situation I hated the most.

oh This isn’t it.

“Then would it be all right if we moved to a different place and talked about it?”

Doa’s dark brown eyes stared at me and then nodded.

“…yes.”

“Then I’ll wait at the front door. Come right away.”

Turning my back, I quickly walked out of the spot.

It wasn’t like me.

None of them were like me.

It wasn’t that I was saying that being Han Taemin was so cool and good, but at least it was a caution not to cause harm to others.

Arriving at the front door, I sighed heavily.

“…brother.”

Someone pulls my sleeve from behind.

“yes.”

“Aren’t there any classes today?”

“yes. no.”

“Then would it be all right if we go to the park and talk?”

I didn’t tell you which park it was, but there was a place that I could guess.

Because there was only one park near my house.

“okay.”

Thinking of Doa, I walk the same path with her.

The leaves were dyed bright yellow so pretty, but there was no conversation between us.

Only the sound of fallen leaves filling the silence.

It was an excruciatingly long road down.

Turning to the right on the slope going up from the main road towards the house, you can see the entrance to the park.

Is it in this condition even though I didn’t clean it?

Fallen leaves were piled up on the floor.

“Do you want to go sit over there?”

Doa nodded without saying a word.

The two of us sat on a bench side by side.

I was about to speak first as Doa silently looked down at the floor.

“brother.”

“yes?”

“I am.”

The sound of his voice, which was quite subdued, made my whole body tense.

What kind of story is waiting for me?

“I really hate people who pretend they don’t know.”

“Oh yeah…?”

It was information I already knew.

That’s what you all said at the World Cup.

But why now…

“Taemin oppa.”

The face that had been fixed on the floor was now looking at me.

It was a look that was difficult to describe in words.

He seemed scared or angry.

However, the tone of her voice was calm.

“…yes.”

The saliva goes down the throat.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

My face is captured in dark brown eyes.

What I have to say to the girl who hates pretending not to know.

Instinctively, I sensed what it was, and I was seized with a feeling of freezing limbs.

why?

Why does Doa know?

I thought I didn’t give her a chance to realize that I was Pingtuk.

Even if you look a bit like an otaku, you’ll never know that you’re a ping-tuk group…

“…I knew it.”

Doa’s expression slowly distorts as she bites her lips tightly without answering.

“it’s okay. me.”

“I’m really fine, so just tell me now.”

Her mouth was spitting out the words that it was okay, but the corners of her eyes were getting wet little by little.

“Ahahahaha. I thought it was a bit odd too.”

“Isn’t it? I was so dumped by my brother.”

“There is no reason why my brother would be nice to me.”

Doa lifted her head slightly as if it was difficult to make eye contact with me anymore.

“I like myself like an idiot again, and I don’t even know that.”

“Your brother must have had a lot of fun? Looking at it from the side?”

“What did you want to do with a kid who was broadcasting with a plate set up?”

“It was my birthday and they didn’t even ask what I was doing and they just sent it to me, so they knew everything, right?”

Facts and untruths pour out in a crying voice.

“Why don’t you answer me… hee hee hee…”

In the end, Doa, unable to hold back her tears, buried her face in her hands.

“Tell me something…. Han Tae-min…”

I was too embarrassed to say anything, but at that moment Doa burst into tears.

I felt the most efficient way to ask her for understanding.

Put your hands inside your pockets.

To be honest, I still don’t know if this method is correct.

Perhaps there could be a gentler, more reasonable explanation than this.

Unlocking my phone, I accessed the main page of my idol, which I had always been waiting for.

“Doah.”

Place your hands on the fists that are clasped on your knees.

Perhaps because the tears had fallen, the backs of her hands were moist.

“Comfort… no… it’s okay if you don’t…”

Just like her trembling voice, her back was also trembling.

“Can’t you just… go…”

“no. I can’t go yet.”

You said it on yesterday’s broadcast.

The important thing is to have an unbreakable heart.

Having inherited Luca’s will, I had no intention of retreating from here.

I reached out and wiped the tears from Doa’s cheeks and slowly turned her head toward me.

Reddened eyes.

Transparent tears like dew were still flowing from her eyes.

“this.”

Instead of talking, I put my cell phone in her hands.

“What is this…?”

“Just look.”

Doa wiped her eyes with her sleeve and stared blankly at my phone screen.

“…yes?”

A different tone than before.

Now it was my turn to be nervous.

Ah… I’m scared…?

I thought this was the best, so I held it, but from the moment the phone left my hand, skepticism began to eat away at me.

no. I really had no intention of revealing it like this.

I could feel my heart beating like crazy.

“this.”

Doa seemed to be looking at the settings window after pressing the back button, as if the screen I showed her wasn’t enough.

Her big eyes are getting bigger and bigger.

“brother.”

Her cries remained intact, but her voice contained power.

“Is this your brother’s account?”

“…yes.”

“It’s not like going somewhere and borrowing someone else’s, is it really your brother’s account?”

Close your eyes and answer.

“If you enter your account information there, there is my name.”

oh Why do I want to die because I am so ashamed?

No matter how much the target is Doa, I thought I would go crazy thinking that it would show my most embarrassing side.

“Then… Then, oppa, really.”

Doa looks up at me with a face of disbelief.

“You were my subscriber before…?”

oh okay.

Since this happened, let’s just commit suicide.

How hard did I vote before you debuted Closer!

I paid 12,900 won every month and how much I cheered for you to be happy!

It felt like my passionate heart, which had been longing for Luca, was on fire.

Taking the cell phone from her, I enlarged the subscriber badge and held it up to her nose.

“Does the 12-month Tier 1 Subscription Betji look like a dick?”

oh I forgot to say this

“Lukatan?”
