THE BEST OF TOMORROW

Episode 16

"Eat this. Your fan will treat you."

Baek Inhyuk pushed the tray in front of Sunjae.

"I never said I'd eat."

"Well, but I'm going to run away with Sunjae on my back, and I ordered you to eat
it. You haven't eaten dinner anyway."

It was autumn when Baek Inhyuk, who put a straw in a plastic lid instead of a still
Sunjae, said, "Huh?"

"But how did you know?"

Baek Inhyuk looked at me. I looked up while eating French fries.

"What?"

"Ryu Sunjae's hang-burger. This is how you eat it like this."

Wikipedia, Vlive, the radio you were on, I couldn't talk about it, so I lost my
words, Baek Inhyuk looked at me with a strange face, and Sunjae looked at me with a
wondering face.

"No, this is a complete set of Ryu Sunjae's McNeal. Bulgogi burger, milkshake and
fries."

"Really? I like to eat like this. My dad eats like this, too. My family only eats
bulgogi burgers. Even my mom asked me to put a bulgogi burger and a milkshake on
the memorial service."

Baek Inhyuk closed his mouth when the story of ancestral rites followed by his
parents' story.

"SUNJAE likes to eat like this".

Haha, I smiled awkwardly, but my eyes met with Sunjae, who looked at me with his
chin on his hand.

"Oh, I'm full."

I wiped the oil on my hand with a tissue and packed my bag and shopping bag. I
don't know what else I'll hear if I sit here all the time.

"Well, enjoy your meal and go. I'll be on my way."

I hurried out of the ward. For some reason, I had a hunch that the second time trip
would not be smooth. I looked up at the sky. The sky was dark after the sun.

Baek Inhyuk decided to go to the gym clothes deal today, and Sunjae, who had no
intention of going there together or waiting for Baek Inhyuk, left school first. As
he left the school gate and went straight down the street, he saw McDonald's, the
place of their appointment. Sunjae's eyes stood in front of the crosswalk and
stared at the McDonald's signboard. Then he shook his head when he realized that he
was staring at the sign unnecessarily.

"What's wrong with me?"

His cell phone vibrated as he was sweeping his messy hair. Just then, the signal
changed, so he crossed the crosswalk and checked the message.

[Hey, why aren't you in the classroom?]

It was Inhyuk. Sunjae grabbed the cell phone with his hands and moved his thumb to
tap on the keypad.

[I came out first.]

He got a reply right away.

[We're supposed to run away with Sunjae on our back!]

Are you going to see me? I decided to meet you. While thinking about that, I looked
up and saw a familiar glass door. An embarrassing light spread over Sunjae's face.
Before crossing the crosswalk, it was in front of the McDonald's, which was seen to
be pierced.

"Where did you sell your mind?"

He himself laughed at the situation and turned around with a smile, and a familiar
person was walking in front of him. Blue socks and yellow tteokbokki coat on top of
black stockings.

"Well..."

Sunjae's eyes became round. As soon as I met him in front of him, he said he would
not sell gym clothes, but he came to another person's trading place first and
became a person who waited. Im Sol's head, who was looking into his cell phone with
his head down, moved slowly. Sunjae hurriedly pushed the McDonald's glass door and
walked inside. It was not until I came inside that I thought, "Oh, crazy, you
shouldn't come in here, Myungcheong-ah," but I knew it was already late.

Sunjae's wandering steps led to this corner. I took off my bag, put it on the
table, and leaned over so that it could not be seen Then, for a moment, I slightly
raised my upper body, thinking why I hid, why I did something wrong. I saw Im Sol
sitting at the table in front of the door. Sunjae hid himself behind his bag again.

I can't go out.

I took out my cell phone with my forehead behind my bag.

[INHYUK, sell it and come to the game arcade.]

I sent a message hoping that the deal between the two would end quickly and
accurately. However, it was unusual for Im Sol to sit down with two sets of
hangers. Soon, Baek Inhyuk's message came in.

[He's going to piggyback Sunjae and run away and eat a hang burger.]

"No, it's not a second-hand deal, it's a meal."

I turned my cell phone upside down, put it on the table, and lowered my head. I
nodded my fingers impatiently, then slightly raised my head to see Im Sol. Im Sol,
who was sharing hang burgers, fries, and drinks, got up from her seat and headed to
the order. Then she got four more ketchup. First, she sat still where she could
eat, and took out three French fries that she had pushed to the opposite seat, not
the one in front of her. It seemed to belong to Baek Inhyuk. I burst into laughter
at the sight.

"Will Sunjae come with you?"

It was a small murmur, but perhaps because my name was in it, I could hear it
clearly. Im Sol, who was looking down at the tray on which two sets of hangers were
placed, picked up her cell phone.

"Let me ask him if you're coming with me."

I thought she was worried by moving her fingers slowly, but she put her cell phone
back down.

"You won't like it, will you?"

Im Sol's lips curled down in a small way. There was a dimly affectionate light in
the round eyes. The strange look in her eyes stuck in my mind.

A strange kid who suddenly appeared as a fan, pretending not to know if she really
didn't know for a while, a kid who avoided himself, and then reappeared. I felt as
if she had flown from another world. I just had that special feeling.

Im Sol, who put her hair flowing down behind her ears, looked into her cell phone.
She looked quite focused on what she was looking at. Sunjae stared at the figure.
Until Baek Inhyuk comes.

* * * * *

As soon as the bell rang to announce the end of the eighth period, he took his bag
and left the classroom. I entered a cram school near the school and changed into a
gym uniform at Jagam High School in the bathroom next to the counseling room. I was
sweating even though it was cold because I was changing clothes in a small space.

He came out of the dean's room with one strap of the bag on his shoulder and a
yellow tteokbokki coat on the other hand. It was a bus stop right in front of the
cram school, so I was going to stand inside the door of the academy and run out
when the bus came.

I took out my cell phone and checked the time. It was only necessary to arrive
before the start of self-study at night. During dinner time, when the children were
away from the classroom, they planned to sneak in and put the book in the drawer.
500 people who were unlucky to die. I don't know if Sunjae will read this book or
not, but I was on my way with the idea that it was worth losing money. It is said
that reading is the foundation of life. This book was chosen and chosen with such a
faint hope that the contents of this book may remain in Sunjae's memory until a
long time later.

He stood with his coat in his arms, looking out the window. I narrowed my eyes and
found that the bus was about to arrive on the electronic display.

"Let's go, Im Sol!"

With the heart of a general going to the battlefield, he opened the glass door and
headed for the station.

* * * * *

My ankle was caught in a low mid- to low-pitched voice entering Jagam High School.
There was a yellow coat, and when I turned around, a man in a brown corduroy jacket
waved the Danso in his hand and asked him to come closer.

"Why, why?"

Anyone can tell that he is also a teacher at this school, so when asked without
getting close, the man's face is distorted.

"Why?"

"...What?"

"The teacher is calling you. Why?"

The man pointed at me with the danso and hit the front of his foot with the end of
the danso. He meant to come and stand where he took the picture. My heart beat
fast. How can I explain myself who naturally entered the school gate wearing this
school's gym clothes even though I am not a student at this school? As I stood
hesitating, the teacher shouted, "Come on, don't run!"

This is a hell of a mess.

He walked timidly in front of the teacher with a white face.

"I'm out."

"What?"

"You must have quit going out."

The teacher put the Danso on his shoulder and held out his hand. It was a school
where you can leave the school only if you have a certificate. It was a fact that I
had never been caught at the school gate before.

"Yes, no."

"..."

There's no way that's no way. The teacher tapped my shoulder with the danso and
pushed it away, wondering if I should run out as if I were crazy now.

"Hey."

"What?"

"He leaves school without going out, and comes in very confidently."

There was nothing else to say, so I bowed my head. I heard Lim Jae-beom's
confession from somewhere. What should I do? What should I do?

"Go over there and raise your hand."

The teacher pointed to the school gate with the danso.

"What?"

I thought I heard it wrong, so I opened my eyes wide and asked, and the teacher
looked at me with a grim face.

"Go over there and raise your hand."

"Well, me?"

He pointed his finger at me and asked.

"Well, I'm not a student of this school..."

The teacher looked me up and down. As I lowered the snow following the teacher's
gaze, I saw two legs exposed under the coat. It was obviously a gym uniform of
Jagam High School.

"You're so funny, sir."

He slowly raised his face. The teacher was grinding his teeth and hitting his palm
with a danso.
