Original subtitles

That morning was just like any other

a typical day that began with me oversleeping

Ah, I’m screwed

Mom

Why didn’t you wake me up?

Breakfast was always important

but being late felt even more urgent

At least, that’s what I thought back then

Hyun-woo

take an umbrella

They said there’d be a shower this morning

I’m late

I’m heading out

Back then, being even a minute late scared me

more than the rain about to pour down

He seriously never listens

Just wait till he comes home soaking wet

As I ran toward the school gate,

my steps came to a halt the moment I saw him

It was Han-gyeol

What is he listening to this early

that has him so focused?

He probably wouldn’t hear me even if I called out, right?

Hey, Seo Han-gyeol

Morning

You look like a sculpture today

Wait, was that too much?

When you’re certain you won’t be heard

you end up getting strangely bold

Seo Han-gyeol

want to grab tteokbokki with me this weekend?

If you don’t answer, I’m taking that as a yes

Shoot, it’s raining

What do I do?

Just as I was regretting

not listening to my mom

Oh? Th-thanks

You had an umbrella?

He didn’t say a word

Instead, he just let one of his shoulders

get quietly soaked in the rain

That day

we ended up being late together

Late together, huh?

Both of you finish sorting the recycling

during lunch today

Got it?

When are we ever going to finish this?

I grumbled

but I didn’t have the courage to run away

He just kept doing his part

without a word

So I couldn’t just stand there and do nothing either

Wow, in this weather? That’s brutal

I feel bad for them

The moment I heard that

I wanted to hide somewhere.

Ugh

seriously

Nothing’s going right today

It was the first time I saw it

the unguarded smile

spreading across his face

The punishment for being late was the worst

but thanks to it

he felt a little less like a stranger
