Is it true that first love won’t ever be fulfilled?

First Love

 

[When I was in grade school, there was this river that I only cross during certain times.]

 

 

 [Chatter] [Chatter]

 

 

[Beyond that river, the city very bright.]

 

 

“Ah jeez!! Nothing will come out of it if I just stand here and ponder about everything!!”

 

 

*Dash

 

 

[I’m sure that I will meet lots of people I’ve never met before!! I will believe in that and charge forward!!]

 

 

“Alright!!”

 

“Let see… 1-A…”

 

 

*looking at Bulletin Board

 

 

[Chatter] [Chatter]

 

 

“There’s no way… there would be someone I know here, I suppose.”

 

*rustle

 

 

“Hey! Hey! What’s your class?”

 

“We are in the same class!”

 

“Yay!”

 

[Chatter] [Chatter]

 

 

*walking in halls

 

 

“Morning!”

 

“Hey, look...look!”

 

 

[It cannot be helped that I’m all by myself. But everyone else is not alone… they have friends… It’s pretty sad to be alone. ]

 

 

*bunch of boys

 

 

“Whatever, just come over here!!”

 

“…No… But I’ve got to go to my classroom… why…”

 

“We told you, we’re going to give you a tour, alright?”

 

“Yep, yep, just shut up and listen to us.”

 

*thump

 

 

[That boy is a first year!!]

 

 

*grind

 

 

*clench

 

[I’m scared… but]

 

 

“PLEASE STOP IT!!”

 

 

[I decided that I will charge forward, so…!!]

 

 

“…What?”

 

“Please let go of him!!”

 

 

*yank

 

 

*fall

 

 

“Are you ok? Are… you hurt anywhere?”

 

 

“……..”

 

“-----------------?”

 

“Wow… you sure are brave.”

 

“The first year kids this year are all such nice kids.”

 

 

*move to tears

 

 

“We made you misunderstand…”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Please continue to treasure that hear of justice that you have.”

 

“What?”

 

 

*pat pat

 

 

“C…could it be that… you aren’t bullied?”

 

*blush

 

 

“…I wasn’t. Sorry.”

 

“I- I’m so sorry!”

 

*run fast

 

 

*bash

 

 

“…uurgh. I made a mistake.”

 

*dejected

 

 

“…Ah… it’s here. There’s no one… I know right?”

 

“……….”

 

 

*open the door

 

[The beginning is crucial.]

 

 

*rattle

 

 

“G-Good Mor- … ing.”

 

 

[Chatter] [Chatter]

 

 

“Good Morning…”

 

 

“And then, you know, that, everyone…”

 

“Eh? Really?”

 

“………”

 

 

[Chatter] [Chatter]

 

 

*pull outs

 

*lie down

 

 

[… I wish they had paid an attention to me… I wanted to go to same school as my school friends.]

.

.

.

.

.

[What should I do… to make new friends?]

 

“Oh, Jiyong!!! Morning!!”

 

*rattle

 

“Morning. You’re pretty late, huh? Did you sleep in late?”

 

“Ah… I was searching for someone…”

 

“Someone? Who?”

 

 

“Hmm...  A prince.”

 

“A prince? Not a princess?”

 

“What kind of person is that? Is there even someone like that?”

 

“Yep, there is… right here.”

 

 

 

*touch

 

 

“…Hmm?”

 

“Hey… prince.”

 

“Geh!”

 

 

*gets up

 

 

“Hmm? What happened to the vigor you display a while ago?”

 

 

*grin

 

*yank

 

 

“Wait…”

 

“Listen up, everyone!”

 

“Hmm?”

 

 

*perks up

 

 

“Just now, this girl… saved me a bunch of upperclassmen surrounding me, just like a prince on a white horse!!”

 

[Ghayyy!]

 

 

“Ain’t she awesome?”

 

“Eh?”

 

“Then what are you, Kwon?”

 

“Eh? Me? Of course I’m a Princess.”

 

 

[Laughter]

 

 

“…U-… Uhm…… But I misunderstood.”

 

*blush

 

 

“Eh? But you’re still amazing.”

 

“Ah, Hey, What’s your name?”

 

“…Dara… I’m Sandara… Ella Park.”

 

“Thanks for saving me just now.”

 

 

*pat

 

“I’m Jiyong Eli Kwon. Nice to meet you.”

 

“I should thank you, too, Jiyong Eli Kwon.”

 

“…Why did you call me by my full name?”

 

“… Just because I felt like it?”

 

 

 

[Thanks to Jiyong Eli Kwon, I was able to like my new world…]

“Prince… Morning!”

 

“G-… Good Morning…”

“Eh?”

“Hey, hey, Sandara, are you going to the Festival?”

 

“Ah! I’ve never gone before. My house is far from there.”

 

“We go every year. Do you want to go together?”

 

“Sure thing!”

 

“HEEEY!”

 

“… Jiyong voice?”

 

 

*look outside

 

 

“Jiyong? What’s wrong?”

 

“Oh, nice, prince!! I have something to ask for help!”

 

“Eh? What?”

 

“Paper!! Bring me paper!!”

“If you were going to xxx you should have checked to make sure that you have paper beforehand!!”

 

“Hey, it’s the last match for 1st years.”

 

“Alright!! Hey!! I’ll score a goal for you, so cheer up, okay?”

 

“What? I’m going back, Good job.”

“…Hey… would stop calling me “Prince” already?”

 

“Eh? But it’s too weird to call you again Park now.”

 

“…Then… Dara.”

“…W-well, it’s not I really, mind it?”

 

 “Alright, I’ll call you Dara then. I’m going to my club room now.”

[Noisy] [Noisy]

 

 

At 1-A

 

 

“M-morning Jiyong!! About Saturday…”

 

“What about it?”

 

“Come one isn’t the festival the next Saturday? Everyone is going, right?”

 

“…Ahh.Sorry.”

 

 

*rattle

 

“I have something to do on that day.”

 

“Boo! Boo!”

 

“Eh? You’re not going, Jiyong. What the, you should go with us!”

 

“No, like I said, I have something to do!!”

At the Festival

 

“Sandara, over here!”

 

 

*dash

 

*pant pant

 

 

“Sorry, I’m late…”

 

“Your house is the farthest from here, right?”

 

“Alright, let’s go.”

 

“Do you want to eat something, Sandara?”

 

“Shaved Ice!!”

 

“Eh? Isn’t it still too early in the year for that?”

 

“Yup!”

 

 

 

“Wah!”

 

“They still have it here.”

 

“YUP!”

 

“Here you go Lemon and Strawberry, right?”

 

“Thank you.”

 

“Talking about shaved ice, last year. Jiyong…”

 

“Ah, that’s right!”

 

“Give me one bite.”

 

“Ok, what?”

 

“He mixed Blue Hawaii flavor with dried squid soup, and it turned into something really horrible.”

 

“In the end, we reserved it for a penalty game.”

 

“… Wanna play?”

 

“There’s someone awfully enthusiastic about it here!!”

 

“Come on now.”

 

“And here I was, relieved that Jiyong is not here.”

 

“Hey, hey, where do you want to go next?”

 

“Let’s see…”

 

 

*thump

 

 

[Jiyong?!]

 

 

“… There’s no way he can be here…”

 

 

 [How strange, he’s all I can think about.]

 

 

“…………………..”
