“Drop out of school and let’s go to America right now.”
“…What?”
Second semester of the third year.
One day, in the midst of final exams, Eun Jo came home late.
It was a day when she had a private lesson with Ha Yoon in the afternoon, and after that, she was in the library until late.
As soon as he saw her coming home late at night, Jae Ha spat out those words as if he couldn’t hold it in any longer, his face twisted with frustration.
She hadn’t even taken off her shoes yet.
“Is this because I rejected your offer to pick me up again? It’s only a 10minute bus ride. And what do you mean drop out of school all of a sudden? What are you thinking, saying something like that?”
“Do my words sound thoughtless?”
“…”
“You can attend school in America. With your grades, you could attend a much better.”
“No, wait. It might sound easy and simple in words, but this is too abrupt. So, we need to think and then decide.”
“I have thought enough! I thought you would feel the same, but you don’t?”
Just turned 24, Kwon Jae Ha had a dry look on his face, his arms folded tight.
“You want me to drop everything, leave the school I’ve been attending well, and follow you to America? Kwon Jae Ha!”
“It’s not just about going, it’s about getting married in America, Eun Jo. I’ve been repeating the same thing to you.”
“I’m only… twentythree. We’re too young for marriage…”
“Does age matter? In America.”
“That’s their story! I’ve never thought about things like marriage. Just going to school, studying… making ends meet is my reality. You know that.”
“That’s why I’m here with you. What’s the problem? Are you saying you don’t want to?”
The suggestion to rely on and trust him blindly, when she felt she had no ability, was difficult for the shy Eun Jo to accept in a short time.
“What’s the problem? Everything… is a problem.”
“So, what have you been thinking all this time when you were with me day and night? Was it just fun? Is it the right age to enjoy it?”
“Kwon Jae Ha!”
“Do you think you’ve had enough fun with me, and you’re planning to keep that bastard with the seemingly decent parents?”
“…What? What, what are you talking about right now?”
“Or have you already had fun with that bastard…”
Smack!
Eun Jo’s palm struck Jae Ha’s cheek and left a red mark, but he didn’t flinch.
Instead, as if he had received some signal, he breathed even more heatedly and approached her more closely.
“Kwon Jae Ha… don’t speak carelessly.”
“What am I lacking compared to him? When you’re with me, you call my name as if you can’t breathe, but outside the bed, you’re thinking differently.”
“Stop it!”
Jae Ha caught Eun Jo’s hand that was flying towards his cheek again.
“Where are you…”
“Let go! Let me go! Let…!”
With his large hand, he tightly gripped her slender wrists so they couldn’t move and easily collided his lips with hers.
Her waist, writhing in his strong arms, was further constricted, preventing any movement.
As the rough and hot kiss seemed to wane for a moment,
“How much more… do I need to confirm… will you listen, huh?”
Before she knew it, Jae Ha’s hand, now soft, was stroking Eun Jo’s hair.
He pressed his lips against her fragrant neck and ear, exhaled a pitiful and desperate breath,
“……”
She shook as if she was a young child struggling not to lose what’s hers.
“You… with your eyes wide open, making a person go crazy… huh?”
“…Hold me, Jae Ha.”
Hold me this time it was Eun Jo who first opened her lips.
She wrapped her freed arms around Jae Ha’s neck and clung to him.
She searched for the warm and soft lips that had parted from hers, desperately clinging to and stretching them.
Thus, as if they were going to consume each other once again,
They shared love as if standing at the end of the world.
If that was a problem… it was a problem.
The escalating conflict and confrontation always ended with each intensely desiring the other.
It seemed to be circling in place without a conclusion.
The question that remained afterward was always a huge stumbling block, weighing heavily on Eun Jo’s heart.
She could not precisely know what she and Jae Ha were sharing.
Was it simply the physical desire they felt for each other, a feeling they had just discovered?
Or was it really that unheardof thing called ‘love’?
When her disrupted rationality returned, she thought. If she heard or said the words ‘I love you’….
While sharing tea, looking out at the rain suddenly.
Or nonchalantly on a walk after dinner together.
…Or perhaps suddenly while standing in the falling snow, looking at each other.
If it had been lighter like that, it would have been better.
The way Kwon Jae Ha showed… was confusing and tough.
Whatever the two were sharing.
It was.
Clearly, it was giving her an overwhelming amount of joy and fear at the same time, to the point of being difficult to bear.
Twentythree, twentyfour.
The two were too young.
They didn’t have the leisure to understand each other’s positions.
