Seo Ryun

Everyone knew Seo Ryun. The problem child. Charismatic. Liar.

He had been expelled twice, had a scar on his lip, a black motorcycle, and a smile that seemed to say, “Don’t fall in love with me, but try anyway.”

And then she arrived.

She wasn't like the others. No blushing or stumbling. Just a tired look and straightforward answers. When Seo Ryun tried to flirt, she simply said: —Don't even try.

He laughed. —Do you think I'm trying something with you? -Yeah. —And if yes? —It's going to go badly for you.

It was the first time someone didn't play along. And he liked that too much.

Seo Ryun started to approach. She drew alone, always in the same places: the rooftop, the library, the park behind the school.

"Can I see your drawings?" he asked. -No. —Just one? -No. —Why are you so difficult?

She didn't respond. She wasn't interested in the rumors. She didn't care that he was attractive. She just wanted to be left alone.

And yet he came back every day.

One afternoon, Seo Ryun saw her leaving a hospital. He couldn't stand it. He followed her. There she was, in pediatric oncology, with a child who clung to her like she was his world.

"He's my brother," she said when she confronted him. —Why didn't you say so? —Because people change when they know.

Seo Ryun didn't know what to say. He wasn't a deep boy. He'd never cared about anyone. But seeing her like that, strong on the outside and broken on the inside, disarmed him.

Days passed. Seo Ryun no longer spoke to others. He didn't lie as much anymore. He only looked for her.

Once, he found her sleeping on the school roof. He covered her with his jacket and stared at her calm face.

I didn't understand what I felt. He just knew that when she wasn't there, something was missing.

He wrote her a message that he never sent: "I miss you. Even though you never really let me in."

One rainy afternoon, they walked together under an umbrella. "Do you know how to love?" she asked. "No," he replied. —So why are you looking at me like that?
