“Yes, happy new year to you too. Be healthy and I hope you earn a lot of… I mean, I hope you get good grades.”

Daemyung hung up from the other side of the phone while laughing. It was January 1st of 2005. Last year, he spent New Years at the hospital, but fortunately for him, he didn’t have to do that this year. He felt nervous even when he thought about that event now. If Daemyung and Dojin did not return back then, he wouldn’t be at the hospital, but somewhere much worse. Perhaps the woman in white might have come for him with a disappointed expression again. All while saying ‘you died again, huh’ or something like that.

“Oppa, I’m leaving.”

Bada was busy even on the first day of the year. She was probably going out to meet Dowook. The holidays began and the acting club no longer had any practice. Since all they had was time, it wouldn’t be surprising for the two to meet up. The two seemed to be getting along well as they had hung out frequently without fighting that much until now. Dowook complained to Maru about how Bada always wanted to go to idol concerts, but he seemed quite weak at heart from how he ended up going with her anyway.

‘I wonder if he’s okay though. He was going at it yesterday….’

He laughed to himself when he thought about how Dowook fainted while holding onto the toilet seat...
