LEE JU... DID YOU EAT? IF YOU HAVEN'T, THEN THIS... DAD HAS BEEN LYING HERE THROUGHOUT THE RAINY SEASON. HE HAD A CHRONIC ILLNESS, SO HE WOULD OFTEN COLLAPSE. SINCE I WAS WORRIED HE MIGHT NOT SLEEP WELL IF IT WAS BRIGHT, I ALWAYS TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND LAY DOWN NEXT TO HIM... WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES LIKE THIS AND QUIETLY LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF THE RAIN, IT STILL FEELS LIKE HE'S RIGHT NEXT TO ME. DOYOUNG, IS OUR JUYOUNG A BIT ECCENTRIC? YOU HAVE TO HOLD ONTO HIM WELL BY HIS SIDE. LEE DOYOUNG IS A CRYBABY~ AND FROM THIS DAY FORWARD... YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE GYM CLOTHES, SO WEAR MINE. I BOUGHT TWO PIECES OF BREAD, SO YOU EAT ONE. YOU LEFT YOUR HOMEWORK AT MY PLACE. LEE JUYOUNG, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! ARE YOU DATING LEE DOYOUNG?! I KNEW IT WOULD COME TO THIS... WE'RE RELATIVES, RELATIVES. HE'S LEE DOYOUNG, AND I'M LEE JUYOUNG. WE SHARE THE 'YOUNG' CHARACTER. OH, REALLY? IS THAT SO? What is this~ UGH, THAT WAS ALMOST A HASSLE. HEY!! STOP COMING TO OUR CLASSROOM! ARE YOU MY MOM OR SO- METHING?! THIS BRAT WHAT ARE YOU SAYING AFTER I TOOK CARE OF YOU! BUT THOSE SMALL, ORDINARY DAYS WERE ONLY FOR A MOMENT... A DIVORCE? OUR FAMILY WASN'T AN AFFECTIONATE ONE TO BEGIN WITH. PEOPLE WHO PRIORITIZED THEIR OWN LIVES OVER EACH OTHER. YEAH, YOUR BROTHER IS FINDING HIS WAYS, AND YOU’LL BE ENTERING HIGH SCHOOL SOON, TOO... MOTHER WAS FRUSTRATED THAT HER DREAMS HADN’T FULLY BLOSSOMED BECAUSE SHE WAS TIED DOWN BY HER CHILDREN. AND I KNEW FATHER NEVER HAD US IN MIND TO BEGIN WITH. I WILL SUPPORT YOU WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR YOUR LIVING. YOU CAN KEEP ATTENDING THE SAME SCHOOL IF YOU WANT... THIS MEANS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS EXACTLY AT MY LEVEL... MOTHER LEFT FOR THE NETHERLANDS, AND FATHER LEFT FOR GERMANY. THEY LEFT AS IF THEY HAD ONLY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY. I THOUGHT I WAS PREPARED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EVENTUALLY... BUT I, WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND, TWISTED BE- AUTIFULLY. HEY~ LEE DOYOUNG~ IT WASN'T EXACTLY THAT I LIVED AN EXEMPLARY LIFE BY FORCE, BUT I THINK I WANTED TO STRUGGLE SOMEHOW. I ADMIT THAT THE METHOD WAS CHILDISH AND ONE- -DIMENSIONAL, BUT WHAT COULD I DO? LEE DOYOUNG, IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME SMOKING? KYA~ SO CUTE~ A 17-YEAR- -OLD'S ACTIONS CAN ONLY BE SO OBVIOUS. I'M GOOD, SO YOU GUYS SMOKE. WHAT, WHY? YOUR HAIR... WHAT ABOUT YOUR HAIR? IS IT A VIOLATION OF SCHOOL RULES? IT'S LAME. WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHAVE IT OFF? Lol? What is this kid saying? DO YOU WANT TO BECOME LIKE YOUR LOSER BOYFRIEND? YOU'RE IN THE DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE, SO IS IT OKAY FOR YOU TO HIT PEOPLE?! YOU F*ING AHOLES...! How dare you touch Park Mu-you- ng?! HEY LEE DOYOUNG, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT, JUST PICK ONE SIDE. IF YOU STAY HERE, YOU'LL END UP BEING THE SAME KIND OF PERSON! DO YOU THINK JUST ANYONE CAN MESS AROUND LIKE THIS?! Why is he like that? Is he crazy? NOT A SINGLE WORD SHIN HAE-SOO SAID WAS WRONG. IN THE END, NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I'M JUST A MEDIOCRE PERSON MIMICKING OTHERS. OH! IT'S YOON JI-WON! BECAUSE A NATURAL-BORN PERSON WAS ALWAYS SEPARATE. Why don't you hang out with us lately~ Just not in the mood. YOON JI-WON, WHO TRANSFERRED FROM ABROAD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER, WITH HIS FLASHY APPEARANCE AND FREE-SPIRITED PERSONALITY, LEE DOYOUNG, WHAT IS THIS? YOUR HAIR HAS GROWN A LOT. WANDERING AROUND SCHOOL HOWEVER HE FELT LIKE, AREN’T YOU GOING TO CUT IT? YOU LOOK BETTER WITH SHORT HAIR. WAS LIKE THE COMPLETED FORM OF MY OWN STRUGGLE. OH~ DOYOUNG, LONG TIME NO SEE. YOUR HAIR HAS GROWN A LOT, HASN’T IT? IT SUITS YOU WELL! HA... PARK MU-YOUNG, THERE’S REALLY NO ONE BUT YOU... 응? Huh? WHERE'S LEE JUYOUNG? ISN'T HE HERE YET? DID YOU COME TO SEE JUYOUNG? SHOULD I CALL HIM FOR YOU? NO... MU-YOUNG, HI~ RETURN THIS FOR ME. Uh-huh..! JU... JUYOUNG, HOW HAS DOYOUNG BEEN DOING LATELY? OUR CLASSES ARE FAR APART, SO I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM AT ALL LATELY. Lee Doyoung? I DON'T KNOW EITHER. WHAT'S HE SO BUSY WITH DAY AND NIGHT? RUNNING INTO HIM IN THE HALLWAY EVERY NOW AND THEN IS ALL. ...I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING, BUT HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE'S HAVING FUN. HE REALLY IS FOOLISH, TOO. IS THIS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE HAPPINESS YOU TALKED ABOUT? HEY LEE JUYOUNG! AREN'T YOU GOING TO STAND THERE?! CUT YOUR HAIR! YOU IDIOT! AT THAT TIME, MY HEAD WAS SO FULL OF MY OWN THOUGHTS. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THE THINGS I HAD DONE WERE SNOWBALLING. HEY, HEY, I HEARD THERE WAS A FIGHT IN CLASS 1. I HEARD THAT GROUP OF BULLIES KEPT PICKING ON A KID FROM CLASS 1. THAT KID... WHO WAS IT AGAIN? HE WAS IN THE ART CLUB. HIS NAME... THAT... LEE JUYOUNG! HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE!! OH...! THE STUDENT DEAN IS HERE. LEE JUYOUNG, LET'S GO. WHAT THOSE GUYS DID TO LEE JUYOUNG, HOW YOON JI-WON AND LEE JUYOUNG KNOW EACH OTHER, HOW THEY ENDED UP IN THE SAME SPACE, SEEING MYSELF STANDING THERE LIKE AN IDIOT WITHOUT KNOWING A THING— IT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF PATHETIC. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Will We Stay Friends Forever? #12](/series/will-we-stay-friends-forever-1knhl2y6/chapter-12-bkp2j2) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/will-we-stay-friends-forever-1knhl2y6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
