Episode 20

Junghwan

Spring has come for most of us, especially with Sunwoo and Bora noona. They have received approval from their respective parents and are planning to wed this month. Even Dongryong, who no one thought would be able to get a girlfriend, is in a relationship.

***Flashback to Dongryong and Junghwan's conversation

"What?!" we all screamed. Deoksun's jaw dropped as in disbelief. Even I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Deoksun hit my arm. "Yah. I didn't hear this idiot correctly, right?"

"I think you did," I replied.

Dongryong looked at Taek, Deoksun, Sunwoo, and me and frowned. "Hey. Why is it so surprising that I got a girlfriend? This Dongryong-nim can get a girlfriend too you know."

We all laughed at the ridiculous thing he had said and started hitting him. "STOP LYING TO US!"

Dongryong screamed, "I'M SERIOUS! I have a girlfriend, heh heh. She's so pretty and glamorous heh heh heh."

"Well at least... Dongryong got his... dream girl?" Sunwoo suggested.

Deoksun chucked a pillow at him. "What, those girls from those magazines or whatever that he always read? Yeah right. I feel SO BAD FOR THIS GIRL. Who IS SHE?!"

Dongryong smiled at Deoksun. "You already know her."

Deoksun's eyes grew wide open. "WHO?!?!?!?!"

"The girl you called Wang Jo-hyun."

We all became very very silent. But Deoksun for a different reason.

"WHAT?! YOU LIKE HER?! SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU?! YOU'RE SUCH A PERV AND OH MY GOD SOMEONE KILL THIS IDIOT. WENYEOL AISHHHHHH!" Deoksun screamed.

"Uh Dongyong... Did your glasses fog again? Who's pretty and glamorous?" I asked.

Dongryong shook his head. "You guys... especially you Junghwan... don't know what love can do to you. I thought she was pretty ugly too but she changed..."

Deoksun started beating the crap out of Dongryong. "YOU!!!!! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU IF YOU PUT YOUR DIRTY HANDS ON HER. GOT IT?????!!!!! GOT IT?!?!?!"

***Present (1994)

However, the only one of us five who still have yet to even properly confess or move on is me. Deoksun and I... We have yet to solve things nor even talk about what will happen between the two of us. As far as I know, she doesn't know that I like her back. Idiot.

I go to Taek's room because Sunwoo, Dongryong, and Taek all wanted to have some time together before I had to go back to my post. Deoksun couldn't come today due to her flight schedule, so we decided to hang out by ourselves. As I walk in, Taek greets me with a smile. "Hey Junghwan."

I lightly smack him on the shoulder. "Hey."

Sunwoo looks over at me and hands me the bag of chips that someone brought. "You want?" he asks. I shake my head to refuse his offer. Dongryong then takes the bag and tries to eat it all in one bite.

"Yah yah yah. Stop eating it like that you're gonna get sick," Sunwoo chides. Dongryong just shrugs and keeps doing what he did before.

"Hey," Taek begins and we all turn to look at him.
