First Love

"But wait, she drew it pretty in every stroke of her brush"

Then Lee Byeol picked up the book that Hyun Su had signed.

"But he did this for me" Lee Byeol said as he looked at the picture in the book that looked ugly.

Lee Byeol was upset.

Next day

Lee Byeol and Hyun Su were walking on the sidewalk.

"Samchon I asked without any intention. This question is purely for the major I'm taking"

"How do people date in the Joseon era?"

Hyun Su smiled at Lee Byeol's question.

"Are you pushing the swing for women like Lee Mong-ryong and Chun-hyang?" ask Lee Byeol.

"I think so" Hyun Su replied as he looked at Lee Byeol.

"Then... Did you buy her Norigae on the street?" ask Lee Byeol.

"I never did that" Hyun Su said.

"Aahhh" Lee Byeol seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"But I bought her shoes decorated with embroidered flowers" Hyun Su said.

Lee Byeol looked jealous.

"So apparently, you seem to like it a lot"

Hyun Su smiled.

"I could see how elegant and beautiful she was" Lee Byeol said.

Lee byeol turned her gaze from Hyun Su towards the front.

Then he looked surprised, he rounded his eyes. In front there was a woman who was watering plants in front of her flower shop.

The woman was very similar to the face of the woman he saw last night in the painting.

"He looks like him" muttered Lee Byeol.

"What?" hyun Su asked as he turned to look at Lee Byeol.

"Ah is nothing" replied Lee Byeol.

Lee Byeol continued in his footsteps.

Suddenly Lee Byeol turned around, making Hyun Su surprised.

"What is Byeol-ssi?" ask Hyun Su.

"Samchon, can we go the other way?"

"Why?"

"I want to stop by Tteokbokki's shop there"

"But...."

"Come on samchon" said Lee Byeol as he pulled Hyun Su's arm to turn around and did not see a woman who looked like his previous lover.

A few hours later.

At the campus Lee Byeol seemed to be sitting with his two friends, the exam was close so they studied together but Lee Byeol was busy with his own thoughts.

While Myung Sik seems to learn while chewing chips.

Chang mi who heard the sound of the chips also seemed unfocused.

"Yes! (Hey!) stop chewing chips, you make me lose focus" Chang Mi said.

"That's him, the very sensitive Chang Mi, who showed up when the exam arrived" Myung Sik chirped.

"My sensitivity and assertiveness are what make me the best student in our major" Chang Mi replied. Then he seems to take his coffee cup, but it turns out to be empty.

"I want more coffee to wake up" he said, then left.

"God he's always overrated" said Myung Sik

Lee Byeol looks pensive again.

"Hey.." call Lee Byeol.

"All right I'll eat quietly" Myung Sik said, cutting off Lee Byeol's words.

"Not that" Lee Byeol said.

"What does first love mean to a man?" asked Lee Byeol suddenly.

"First love? why suddenly?" myung Sik asked in astonishment.

"I'm just curious"

Myung closes the book and seems to think.

"First love..."

"The two words make you feel very sentimental and hurt"

"I got my first love in Junior High, we broke up for the saddest of reasons"

"He's very sick"

"really?" lee Byeol asked in surprise.

"It turns out he was having an affair with a close friend of mine. Even though he made up such an absurd lie. I still can't forget him just because he's my first love"

Lee Byeol seemed to be snorting with his pouting face.

"People say, all men have a space in their hearts that they keep for life, a space where their first love is guarded until they die" said Myung Sik.

"So, if the man doesn't die he'll stay in that room forever?" ask Lee Byeol.

"That's right" Myung Sik said as he flicked his finger.

"He reported coming in but there were no hours of reports coming out" Myung Sik said.

Lee Byeol is getting jealous.

"You can have the high season with the people you love, but the space is always filled. No one can take it" said Myung Sik who unknowingly added a fire of jealousy to Lee Byeol.

Plaque plaque plaque

"A a a a. Oh, my God you are" Myung Sik complained.

Lee Byeol smacked myung sik's cheek with Myung Sik's sausage that had not been opened for the man to stop talking.

Lee Byeol snorted in annoyance.

A few hours later Lee Byeol came out of the campus.

Drttt srttt

"Hello, what time are you done?"

"I don't think you need to pick me up today"

"..."

"It's okay I just want to walk you..."

Lee Byeol stopped talking when he saw that Hyun Su was already standing not far from him.

Hyun Su turned around and looked at Lee Byeol, then he turned off their call and kept his phone back in his coat pocket while smiling towards Lee Byeol.

Lee Byeol seemed to be unable to do anything.

Hyun Su stepped towards him and stopped right in front of him.

"Then let's walk together" Hyun Su said, smiling.

They walked home together, on the way from the front there was a man walking in the direction, Hyun Su immediately shifted Lee Byeol slowly to the side of the road and exchanged places with him

Hyun Su put his hands back behind his back.

"So why did you come to walk today?" ask Hyun Su.

"It's okay, the weather's good today"

Before long Lee Byeol sees a woman similar to Hyun Su's first love walk out of her flower shop to escort a customer.

"Bye bye"

"Thank you"

Lee Byeol stopped stepping Hyun Su looked astonished.

"Byeol ssi?"

"Ne?"

Hyun Su was about to look in the direction that Lee Byeol saw, but Lee Byeol directly stopped Hyun Su.

"I said, I'll treat you to Tteokbokki with the bus fare I saved instead, let's eat now" Lee Byeol said as he pulled Hyun Su's arm and stepped in the other direction.

They did not eat Tteokbokki this morning because the restaurant was closed.

Arriving at the restaurant.

Hyun Su put down the glass of water that he had just drank.

He looked at Lee Byeol who looked dumb.

"Is there a problem with Byeol-ssi?"

"What?"

"You look less healthy"

"Ah anyo"

They were silent for a while too.

"By the way, Myung sik said that all men have a special space in their hearts"

Hyun Su seemed to tilt his head and observe what Lee Byeol said.

"And in that space, they kept their first love for a lifetime, was that really it?"

Hyun Su was silent.

"Come"

"What about you?" ask Lee Byeol.

Hyun Su was silent.

"If he suddenly returns to me after such a long time, of course I'll be happy"

"Well.."

"I feel like a fool" Lee Byeol said in his heart.
