Love is the First Time

I thought you wouldn't remember,
No, I thought you wouldn't remember...

Taehyung remembered what happened a year ago clearly.

 

After many twists and turns, first period was over. As soon as the bell rang, he ran out of the classroom, making an excuse to go to the bathroom. It was his first time here today, so he didn't even know where he was, but it must've been a while since he ran out. Only after I realized I was completely out of the class did I squat down against the wall.

 

‘So, why did you try to pretend not to know me?’

‘We only met twice, so pretending to know me is a bit much, right?’

‘So what?  I know your face, so I know what I know.’

‘That's true, but‘

I couldn't tell whether Taehyung was listening to the class through his ears or nose, as he kept asking me why. And he was so persistent that he followed me as soon as I heard the bell ringing, running away. ‘I told him I was going to the bathroom!’ Even when I shouted, he said he would take me there. Taehyung was nowhere to be seen, so only then did I laugh out loud.

“No, he said he transferred yesterday too, and he knew where the girls' bathroom was and would take me there.”

And a pretty boy who would take me to the bathroom, and the thought of the girls looking at him strangely, and the scandal that would follow him from the first day of transfer... Oh my, just imagining it made my head spin.

After sitting down for a while to catch my breath, this time my uniform pocket vibrated strongly. The caller was [Song Kang]. It seemed like he had just heard the news of my transfer. Normally, it would be natural to greet the kids the day before I transferred. I'm really shy... Well, I don't have any friends to greet besides Song Kang, so I just told my homeroom teacher to tell the kids in a general way.  But Song Kang, who was in a different class, seemed to hear the news late.

“Haa-, he must have been upset, asking why I didn't tell him.”

If other people saw it, they would say, "Why can't you tell your childhood friend? That's too harsh." But from my perspective, there was nothing I could do. Maybe it was because we were together 360 days out of 365 since we were little, but Song Kang strangely didn't want to leave me. In middle school, whenever he made some friends, he would always join us when we played and show that he was uncomfortable with the other friends.

Sometimes Song Kang was uncomfortable, but I couldn't openly show that I didn't like it. Because when I think about ‘that thing’ when I was young, that's all I could do for Song Kang... However, I was worried that if he kept doing this, he would become even more distant later. So, I took a strong stance... and somehow, it didn't go as planned. 

“Hello.”

“Hey, Yoon Soo-hyun... how dare you!”

A voice that contained resentment and anger leaked out over the phone. I expected that reaction to some extent, but I was quite taken aback by the more intense reaction than I expected. 

“Do you know how taken aback I was when I visited your class? I always went with you, but you probably thought the other kids didn't even know I transferred!”

Ah, I didn't think of that. I was being considerate and left, but I ended up turning Song Kang into an indifferent guy who doesn't even remember his friends. Sorry- As I playfully dragged out the end of my sentence, Song Kang spoke in a more relaxed tone than before.  

“Why on earth didn't you tell me?”

“I mean... I thought you'd chase me to school?”

The answer was simple. Hey- No way, I'd follow you to school. Those who say that don't really know Song Kang. He transferred schools in middle school because of his mom's work, and the one who followed him was ‘Song Kang’.

Song Kang on the other end of the phone didn't deny it. At this point, he thought once again that it was a good thing he didn't tell me. 

“...Still, I'm really upset.”

“Sorry… But I couldn't help it.”

If I don't do this, you won't be able to make friends. I'm the same way. I added. It wasn't a lie that I said I was doing it for Song Kang. It's just that I was doing it for Song Kang and for me.

“...Aren't you going to tell me? Where is your school?”

Song Kang's face appeared on the other end of the phone. Song Kang, who was exhausted and had a pitiful face. I had been fooled by that face and stayed by his side until now, but not anymore. We were 19 years old, third-years of high school, and soon to be adults. We might have to be apart for a long time. That's why it was time to gradually distance ourselves. ‘Yeah...sorry.’ The voice was choked and cracked.

“...you're really cruel.”

“I can't help it even if you're cruel-.”

I blurted out a word mixed with laughter at Song Kang's childish behavior. Whether it was his hands or his feet, he was bigger than me, but his actions were no different from when we were kids. I don't know how he protected me back then...

Time passed by in an instant. Soon, it was almost time to finish the paperwork, so I had to hang up the phone. On the other end of the phone, Song Kang still seemed to be complaining, but his voice was definitely brighter than before.

“I have to go now.”

“I don’t want to hang up…”

“You have to go to class now, too.”

Haa- I let out an annoyed sigh, but I listened to what I said. Before hanging up, Song Kang asked, ‘Then, can I meet you after school?’ I nodded and answered.
 

“Then, I’ll be by your house in a bit.”

Okay. Have a good class. After that voice, the phone ended, and I put my phone in my jacket pocket, dusting off the dirt on the end of my skirt, and got up. I had run away from Taehyung, but now it was really time to go back.

 

But,

 

 

 

“You've been on the phone for so long.”

As I was about to turn the corner and head back to the apartment, Taehyung, who had been leaning against the wall as if he had been waiting for the call to end, slowly turned his head toward me. I was so startled for a moment that my heart dropped to the tips of my toes. 

“Yes, how did you get here?”

You've been looking for me for a long time. Unlike Taehyung who spoke calmly, I had a thousand thoughts in my head. No, why on earth, you, me, why?. However, since I didn’t have that kind of courage, I swallowed it back down.

I now lowered my head to the ground and shut my eyes tightly until he spoke first. What should I say now… Should I ask him why he didn’t pretend to know me?. Should I just say to his face, ‘You’re too handsome, I don’t want to get attention if we become friends!’ While I was imagining all sorts of things in my head, a moist voice came from above my head.

 

“...Are you scared of me too?”

The corners of her eyes weren't wet, but her voice and face looked truly sad. And an inaudible voice tickled my ear.

‘…Don't be afraid of me.’
