HAVEN'T DRANK IN FOREVER AND NOW MY BODY'S MESSING WITH ME.

HEY. IT'S COLD OUTSIDE. USE MY JACKET TO COVER UP.

I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO COVER UP WITH IN MY BAG.
HUH?
...I'LL BE BACK!
IN THE END, LITTLE ROCK NEVER RETURNED.
Lovesick Puppy I've arrived
I'm kinda tall and I came looking all dressed up. Can't you see me? Gucci belt.
Little Rock left the chat room.
SO SHE NEVER PLANNED ON COMING BACK.
SHE EVEN PAID THE BILL BE- FORE LEAVING.
...NEVER MIND, LET'S JUST FORGET IT.
I'M SURE SHE HAD HER REASONS.
RIGHT, REASONS...
AH, WHAT EXACTLY COULD THOSE REASONS BE?!!!
...LET'S CALM DOWN FIRST.
RIGHT! THERE WAS A PHOTO, WASN'T THERE?
LITTLE ROCK'S LOCKSCREEN LOOKED STRANGELY FAMILIAR.

IT'S THE ZELKOVA TREE FROM OUR SCHOOL!
WITH THAT SINGLE CLUE, I FIGURED OUT THAT LITTLE ROCK WENT TO MY SCHOOL,

WHY IS SHE ALWAYS SICK?

DO YOU THINK I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO?
YOU CAN JUST TAKE HER WITH YOU SINCE YOU'RE HEADING THAT WAY, ANYWAY!

We haven't really gotten to see each other since the semester started.
LAST NIGHT...
AH, RIGHT! SEUNGJO!
W-WHAT DO I DO?
WE DID MEET FOR A MOMENT AT THE CAFÉ.
I CAN'T GO OUT LOOKING LIKE THIS...
I KNEW I SHOULD'VE CANCELLED.
SEUNGJO WOULD PROBABLY WORRY IF I TELL HIM I'M SICK, RIGHT...?

h-how did you find out?
Jieum, you're sick right now, aren't you?
HE'S PRETTY QUICK-WITTED, SO I'LL HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF EXCUSE.

Something came up... sorry, sorry

Alright, that’s fine.
...LEE JIEUM, WHY ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED RIGHT NOW?
YOU’RE THE ONE WHO DIDN’T WANT TO TELL HIM.
AND IT’S ONLY NATURAL FOR HIM TO NOT PAY ME ANY ATTENTION.
SINCE HE HAS SOMEONE ELSE TO PRIORITIZE NOW...
I'M ONLY FEELING DISAPPOINTED BE- CAUSE I'M SICK.
ONCE I GO BACK TO SLEEP AND WAKE UP, I'LL BE FI-...
