I DIDN'T KNOW YOU TOOK THIS CLASS, TOO. YES, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING YOU AT ORIENTATION... I DON'T DO ORIENTATIONS, HEHE. SORRY, BUT HOW ABOUT YOU JUST BUY YOURS ONLINE? THEY'RE OUT OF PRINT... SERIOUSLY, WHY USE A DISCONTINUED BOOK FOR CLASS...? HMM... THEN LET'S DO THIS. YOU CAN HAVE THE TEXTBOOK, SO TREAT ME TO LUNCH. I'LL ASK MY FRIENDS WHO TOOK THIS CLASS IF THEY STILL HAVE THEIRS. THANK YOU FOR GIVING UP THE BOOK FOR ME. IT'S NO BIG DEAL. I GOT YOU TO TREAT ME TO FOOD, SO WE'RE EVEN. I WANTED TO BUY YOU SOMETHING BETTER... DON'T SWEAT IT. TTEOKBOKKI IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. EVERYTHING ON THE EXAMS WILL COME FROM THE BOOK, SO BE SURE TO GET A COPY. HOW DOES HE NOT KNOW THE BOOK IS OUT OF PRINT BEFORE TELLING EVERYONE TO BUY IT? RIGHT? YOU'D THINK HE'D KNOW CONSIDERING HE WROTE IT HIMSELF. DID YOU SEE HIM? HE'S SO CUTE! IS HE A MODEL OR SOMETHING? WE CAN HEAR YOU. YOU THINK I SHOULD GO TALK TO HIM? IS THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND SITTING WITH HIM? DOES HE HAVE TO DEAL WITH STUFF LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME? IT MUST BE EXHAUSTING. WHAT IS IT? IS THERE SOMETHING ON MY FACE? UH... YES. LIKE WHAT? GOOD LOOKS? AHAHA! HE EVEN HAS A GREAT VOICE! NO, JUST TTEOKBOKKI SAUCE. HE'S ENJOYING IT. WHERE? HERE? NO, THE OTHER SIDE... AH...! OH NO... IT LOOKS LIKE IT'LL LEAVE A STAIN EVEN IF YOU MANAGE TO WIPE IT OFF. OH, IT'S OKAY. PEOPLE ARE TOO BUSY STARING AT YOU... ...THAT I DOUBT THEY CARE ABOUT HOW I LOOK. SO INSTEAD OF GIVING ME YOUR JACKET, YOU'D PROBABLY BE A LOT MORE HELP IF YOU TOOK OFF YOUR HOOD INSTEAD. PFFT... HAHA! YOU'RE FUNNY. ? SO ON THAT NOTE... ...HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN OUR CLUB-- HUH? TAEHEON? O-ONE SECOND. GO AHEAD. HELLO? DAWON, I'M AT HANGUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW, AND... OH NO, REALLY? YOU MUST BE SO WORRIED... DAHAM, I'D BETTER GO. SOMETHING JUST CAME UP. YEAH, NO WORRIES. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CHANGE, ANYWAY. I'LL SEE YOU AROUND. I PROMISE TO TREAT YOU TO SOMETHING BETTER NEXT TIME...! THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. SHE FORGOT TO TAKE IT. TAEHEON! OH... DAWON, YOUR CLOTHES... OH, DON'T MIND ME. BUT YOU SAID YOUR MOTHER PASSED OUT. IS SHE OKAY? YES, THE DOCTOR SAID SHE'S STABLE FOR NOW. SHE WAS ALREADY DIAGNOSED WITH AN UNDERLYING CONDITION TO BEGIN WITH... ...BUT MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN OVERWORKING LATELY... STILL, SHOULDN'T YOU BE WITH HER RIGHT NOW? SHE WAS ASLEEP, SO... I JUST NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO. AND SINCE YOU WERE NEARBY... I DON'T WANT HER TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANY MORE HARDSHIP... ...BUT FRANKLY, I'M GETTING A BIT TIRED... DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY? I FOUND MYSELF THINKING HOW MUCH THE MEDICAL BILLS ARE GOING TO COST... AND HOW I WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE ANY MONEY IF I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF HER. PRETTY SELFISH OF ME, RIGHT? I FELT AWFUL WANTING TO RUN AWAY FROM IT ALL. TAEHEON... I'M SORRY FOR CALLING YOU OUT HERE JUST TO UNLOAD ALL THESE GLOOMY THOUGHTS ON YOU. PLEASE DON'T BE. MY MOM IS SICK TOO, SO I UNDERSTAND. SHE IS? YES. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A LONG TIME... ...EVER SINCE THE DIVORCE WITH MY DAD. I WAS BULLIED... ...ALL THROUGHOUT MY SCHOOL YEARS... ...AND IT WAS UNBEARABLE. COMING BACK HOME DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY COMFORT, EITHER. MY MOM JUST STAYED IN BED ALL DAY, BURIED UNDER HER BLANKET. MAYBE THAT'S WHY... ...HOME FELT LIKE ANOTHER VERSION OF HELL. IN A WAY, ALL I DID WAS RUN AWAY. SO YOU'RE DOING JUST FINE, TAEHEON. BECAUSE AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T GIVE UP... ...AND I THINK THAT'S AMAZING. I MEAN IT... TAEHEON? THANK YOU, DAWON... ...FOR RUSHING OVER SO FAST YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE YOUR SHOELACES WERE UNTIED. I'M GLAD I REACHED OUT TO YOU.
