Which Daiki?

Dear God,

It’s okay about hurt im feelinside,

I just a:

…please take care of him.

               06 : 27 PM

His wristwatch was lifted and he looked at it casually before moving to tighten the straps of his backpack so it wouldn't fall from the mountainside. He picked up his pace and calculated that in less than five minutes he would be late for the appointed time and It might cause the person waiting to start complaining non-stop. A slight smile spreads on their face as they think about it and realize that their innocent face is frowning because of dissatisfaction.

“Huh! I'm shocked.”

A sweet and slightly irritated voice came out as the back of the newcomer's hand tapped the light-colored wooden table where he was diligently writing a message on a piece of paper. He sat down in the chair across from the other person and put it down. Put your backpack on the space next to you. That action happened at the same time as the small wrist of the person sitting before was lifted up to look at the watch before looking up at the new arrival apologetically. "It's six thirty-one minutes. You're late, Jiro-kun."

“Oh, did I tell you to call me Jinyoung?” the person who was scolded replied in a tired tone. “And one more thing. One minute isn't considered late, okay?"

“Look.. please listen to us.” The smaller man's voice became darker after hearing the words that didn't make sense to his ears. “One thing is that here in Japan. I speak Japanese. We are Japanese ourselves. Using a Japanese name is correct and we will not allow this matter again.”

“As for the second point. ..One minute late is considered late.. okay?”

“Okay, why are you so serious?” he replied with a laugh before picking up the menu that was on the table and opening it, but he still couldn't deny the matter and let it end with the person in front of him.

“Wait, tell me first, what is my name?”

“What is ours?”

“No, no, tell me.”

“So Daehwi, why?”

“That's it. You don't listen at all!” His voice sounded so annoyed that the listeners couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh. Punishing glances were still sent to him, but he didn't seem to feel anything other than amusement and chuckled softly. As if intending to tease

“Sir, I am serious.”

"Haha, alright Daiki-kun. If you don't want to be mad, you'd better order rice."

Seeing that Mr. Daiki doesn't seem to be softening easily. He decided to stop teasing and cut in, picked up the menu and opened it for the other person to order instead. A final gasp of breath was sent before the owner of the frowning face agreed to change his focus to the actual food menu. His face was good, but he could only let out a smile as he slowly scanned his eyes to take in the picture in front of him, as if the person being looked at probably didn't realize it.

Daehwi .. No, Daiki .. Daiki-kun was about three years younger than him. He met a boy in front of him in his last year of high school uniform at the train station in late spring two years ago. At the time, he Still just Jinyoung .. Bae Jinyoung, a third-year academic scholarship student who received the opportunity to study abroad in his final year before graduating, Jinyoung chose to study in Japan for a simple reason: The distance is not too far from home. In case you miss your family, you can go back easily. Until you got to know Daiki-kun because he accidentally swore in Korean while buying a train ticket and found that everything seemed complicated and He became annoyed at that moment when a small high school student volunteered to help by speaking Korean at such a level that he had mistakenly thought that it was a Korean student who had moved to study in Japan just like him.

Even though it's not all right But his guess couldn't have been more wrong. Daiki-kun is a half-Korean-Japanese who moved to Japan with his mother when he was in middle school, going back and forth to Korea and Japan every summer break to spend time. Time with Grandpa in Korea This, of course, made him able to converse fluently in both languages, and because of this, a high school senior who was kind enough to help a foreigner on the train station became his personal language tutor after using For just forty minutes on the train we talked so much that we exchanged e-mails.

Daiki-kun is a cheerful child. Has a sense of humor and grew up in a family that gave warm love. The couple met every week throughout the summer. In their first year of getting to know each other, Daiki taught him Japanese. He teaches Daiki to do questions for the university entrance exam and as they become closer, 'Jiro-kun' is the Japanese name that Daiki gives him as the first gift in return for their friendship since they first got to know each other.

He and Daiki can talk about everything. Miscellaneous stories about the weather Stories at his house Story at Daiki's house The pair exchanged and learned from each other through both email and face-to-face conversations. Daiki knew almost everything about him. And he listens to almost all of Daiki's problems. It is said that telling each other secrets brings people one level closer in order to preserve those secrets if that's the case. For him, Daiki is The person he is closest to whether in Japan or Korea.

He had no idea how many personal stories the other person had told him.

But from what I've asked Daiki said that it's almost all there.

Which is almost all of them. There were some things that he didn't really want to know.

Daiki already has someone he likes. That had put an end to his dreams since the first month he realized how he felt about Daiki. That kid was too cute and he couldn't stop his feelings. Stories about a third person that Jinyoung didn't even want to know became a topic of conversation often. When the other person was upset or jealous of something, he confessed that Jinyoung didn't even want to know but had to make up. The face pretends to listen.

“So what was written on that?” he asked when he saw that the other person had started to pick up the things that were scattered on the table in the first place to make room for food. The little boy unzipped the stationery bag before looking up to answer.

“Prayers. Hang it to make a wish.”

"oh"

Today is Tanabata..

He looked at the long rectangular piece of paper in the other person's hand. In my heart I already knew, but I couldn't help but ask again.

“What do you pray for?”

"I won't tell you. Telling you won't be successful."

Jinyoung forced out a laugh. Sending a questioning look to repeat Daiki's answer again, which of course the other person shook his head in denial.

pink tangsaku It means asking for blessings related to love.

"He already has a girlfriend, doesn't he?"

"Don't fool me and ask."

“I never lied, I really am asking.” Jinyoung watched every action of the person sitting opposite him from the moment the piece of paper was slowly turned upside down, not allowing him to read it until it was moved to be safely placed in his bag. “Go make a wish like that. Won't it seem like you want them to break up?”

“No!”

The other person answered immediately, almost without thinking.

"We just want our wishes to come true. It's not about them having to break up."

Um.. that's what he said.

In fact, there was hardly any need to guess what messages were written on that pink piece of paper.

...but

If Daiki-kun looked cruel for wishing for his own wish to be fulfilled in the event that they would break up.

He himself was no different, always praying for the little person in front of him to stop hoping for anything that showed no signs of being fulfilled.

after supper Jinyoung was urged by Daiki to walk around the Tanabata festival as a true friend. Today's plans for him and Daiki were to meet to eat and return the book he borrowed from the other person a month ago. But when Jinyoung was invited and Jinyoung... Nayoung wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere so there was no need to refuse.

Actually, Jinyoung doesn't like Tanabata much. He doesn't like making wishes. He doesn't like the feeling when he asks for something and it doesn't come true. He considers the bad feeling that comes from disappointment to be worse than the bad feeling that normally arises, so Tanabata for him is quite nice. Boring and not worth waiting for to arrive that much, unlike another person who seems to like it so much that he counts the days until it arrives quickly almost every year.

He followed Daiki-kun, who almost always stopped to take photos, to a walkway along a large river. Yellow-orange lanterns in woven balls were scattered on the grass. And once again, he saw the little man in front of him smile happily.

“Sit here for a while and then come back.”

The little man slapped his hand on the grass next to him, inviting him to sit. Jinyoung crouched down and sat down. His sparkling eyes looked down into the water in front of him. The gently flowing water still reflects the lights at night.

“Do we come here every year?”

“We came all year,” a voice tinged with laughter answered. Jinyoung turned to look at Daiki-kun's face and slowly let out a small smile. “Anger comes and sadness comes.”

“ .. We like to come and calm down.”

It seemed like the atmosphere had changed so quickly that it was startling.

Because it seems to gradually get worse as he finishes his sentence.

Only a soft sigh could be heard.

And I don't know if it was the right thing for Jinyoung to let it be like that.

“So is it better?”

“...well.”

"I don't know.. maybe it's better."

Daiki-kun isn't very good at keeping his feelings hidden.

“Maybe we are as cruel as you think, because if we let it go away It must be the moment when our hopes come true.”

“If we want our hopes fulfilled They would probably have to break up first.”

...Oh, this is the story.

“But because it can't be done, how can it be? So we can just sit here and sit until we stop thinking about greedy things like that.”

Jinyoung sighed slowly. Before deciding to move his own hand to hold another's hand and squeeze it gently.

Even though he had heard the story of Daiki's crush a million times and seen the little person next to him sitting with such a sad expression every time he talked about him, this amount of sorrow had never occurred to him. How often? All this time, Daiki chose to hide it with a smile, and sometimes when Jinyoung started to notice that he probably couldn't take it, he quickly asked to leave.

He didn't know why it was happening today. He wasn't sure if it was because of his own stupid question that made the other person think so much that his mind was depressed, but those eyes that were once bright now shone with a dull look that made Jinyoung unable to resist the hand that was holding the other person. Unable to make it tighter than before, Daiki-kun once again turned around. before turning to look at the old place

Why would you love someone who doesn't love you?

Love and then get hurt like this Made him crazy worried.

already

If you know that there is someone he secretly likes.

If you know that there is someone who values ​​you.

Will Daiki-kun give that person a chance?

“We're tired.”

...Will it be possible?

“We want to give up.”

...that he will have a chance..

“I want to stop liking you, I want to like other people.”

... I tried talking to Daiki-kun.. With another status?

“I want enough for a while.”

...if you just tell and confess

"But do you know that the more we try.. the more we realize that we won't be able to do it ourselves?"

“Because we just saw him smile. We are happy to follow him as well.”

“We probably can't do it.”

It probably isn't possible.

Before Daiki-kun felt even worse. Jinyoung decided to invite him home and took the frowning boy to the train station. The sad look in his eyes was still visible to him until the last moment when they waved goodbye. Jinyoung couldn't say anything more than Concerned, to which the other person responded in a sad tone saying that it would probably go away tomorrow.

At that moment, he could only shout out in his mind almost immediately, "Whatever? In the end, Daiki-kun couldn't stop liking him anyway."

Jinyoung turned his back on that train with a new feeling, like he could come to terms with it. But I knew that it wouldn't be easy to do. He and Daiki are the same. ..I secretly like it too. There is no hope either. I have to make up my mind as well. Just telling you it probably won't bring any benefit. ..Honestly, just the world allowing him to orbit Daiki-kun is considered kind enough to him just by being beside him..

Or at most, you might be on the opposite side. However, he thought that there was no way they would meet.

It's good to just let it be like this.

Because he probably looks selfish.

If you confess your love at a time when the other person is so weak and almost crying,

Walk and think here and there. Before I felt it again, I walked back into the Tanabata event, the atmosphere of which I was able to absorb myself for the first time. Actually, it didn't seem that boring. Colorful paper, trees, lanterns, people. People... when everything comes together like this, it looks beautiful.

Jinyoung sighed. Standing still, looking at the tree filled with wishing papers again, I don't know how long it had been since he stopped paying attention to making wishes. Maybe three years.. five years.. or more, for one reason only: he didn't want to feel. Disappointed.. It sounds silly, but he stopped making wishes a long time ago because he really believed that.

.. And if he were to try and hope for it one more time, what would it be like?

Or if it's disappointing, what will happen next?

He hung a pink santaku on a bamboo branch filled with long sheets of colorful paper.

Put your hands together and pray for your wish to come true for once before walking away.

You did it right.

You did it right, Jinyoung.

May Daiki-san's long-awaited love finally come true.

end.
