The June I Killed

Cha Hyun Uk (Top): A cold-looking handsome man with sharp eyes and a solid build. He hides an unacknowledged loneliness behind his prickly, thorny way of speaking. Everything in life is annoying and bothersome to him, yet he finds himself constantly noticing a boy in his class who refuses to take off his cardigan no matter what.

Song Yun Jae (Bottom): A clear beauty with a pale and delicate impression, but unlike his appearance, he lives while suppressed by deep sadness and anger. He has survived on the sole pride of not wanting his inner feelings to be discovered, but a boy in his class keeps picking at that pride. Eighteen years old and full of wounds, Cha Hyun Uk and Song Yun Jae.

The two, who discover each other’s pain, gradually grow closer and soon become each other’s comfort, but their immature love eventually shatters into pieces.

“You’re still a son of a b*tch.”

“You too.”

“…”

“You’re pretty, still.”

And 14 years later, the two face each other again due to a murder case….

“I’m asking where you’ve been, but you aren’t answering.”

“…Does a bereaved family member have to answer even that to a prosecutor?”

Feeling his presence as he walked right up behind me, I slowly turned my body.

Cha Hyun Uk remained silent for a moment at my sharp-edged words.

Then, he seemed to slowly examine my face.

The swollen eyelids weighed on my mind.

I hurriedly turned my head, but I felt I was already a step too late.

Just as the discomfort was about to grow, Cha Hyun Uk threw out words that didn’t suit him at all.

“If you haven’t eaten, let’s have a meal together.”

Thinking I might have misheard, I stared blankly at his face.

However, there was no sign of any rushing emotion on his indifferent expression.

Right, there was no way anything could be read.

“I have a weak stomach.”

“Then just watch me eat.”

“…I told you. I have a weak stomach.”

“Then just sit in the car next to me.”

“Hey.”

Still, I didn’t want to become any more of a joke.

Whether he felt nothing despite my stiffened voice, Cha Hyun Uk merely looked at me with a bored expression.

“What.”

He even spat out such a trivial response.
