"..."
The one word that keeps on popping out of my head: "Let's break up." It was already deeply ingrained in my mind, making me feel absurd. I saw those wavering eyes. Why, why are you lying to me and breaking up with me, Park Jimin?
***
"Stop drinking, you drunkard."
"Ugh! Shirer! Don't stop me..."
"Forget it. It's already been a year and a half. It's been harder for me."
"How can I get rid of Chimini... Huh..."
"Uh.. Are you crying?? No"
"Don't stop me! I'll do it to Jjimini!"
"..What are you going to do tomorrow..."
Joohyun tried to stop her, but she had already pressed the number 1 key to dial. The call was dialed, then silence. She hadn't hung up, but answered.
"... What is it... the sea...?"
"..."
"Jjimina... I'm looking at you...."
"Where are you, sister?"
"Oh... the drinking party we always had together... hehe..."
"...who are you with?"
"I'm hungry!"
"Try changing it."
"Why... I want to hear your voice."
"Just wait a minute or so and I'll let you hear more. Hurry up."
".. Ugh.. Gure!"
The female lead handed the phone to Joohyun to receive it, and Joohyun gave a vague answer, paid, and dragged the female lead outside.
"Hey you little shit, give me your phone...!"
"Aren't you going to see Park Jimin? Shut up."
"...Can you see...?"
"So shut up."
"Yeah! Hehe."
Even though he was dragged away, he smiled faintly as if he was happy. It was the park where Jimin had said goodbye before, and Yeo-ju asked why he was coming here, but he covered her mouth, put a hat on her, and pushed her away.
"Eww! Bae Joo-hyun, you punk...!!"
Someone picked up the fallen heroine and took off her hat. As soon as she saw him, she burst into tears, repeating only, "What the...?" He had lost some of his baby fat and seemed to have grown a bit, as he stared at her endlessly.
"How much did you drink?"
"Umm... two bottles!"
"Sister, your drinking capacity is one bottle. Why did you drink so much?"
Before Jimin could continue speaking, the female protagonist kissed him. Jimin flinched, but then quickly wrapped his arms around her head and thrust his tongue into hers. It was a bitter kiss she would forget tomorrow, but he would remember.
"Don't disappear again."
"... No, I'm drunk. Go to sleep."
"Let's sleep together!"
"...I'll call Joohyun noona."
"What? Sir! I'm going to be with Jimmy."
".. Phew.. Is it just today?"
"Yeah!"
Jimin carried her on his back and walked her home. Oblivious to the situation, she was sleeping, breathing evenly. Jimin smiled bitterly and, pressing the password he'd given her earlier, the door opened, and he tucked her into bed with a hollow laugh.
"..don't go....sleep with me.."
"...Don't be a jerk. We're already broken up."
"Then why did you kiss me...? Why did you lead me...? I love you..."
"..I'll go."
"If you go, I won't sleep either!"
"Then don't sleep."
"...Then I'll jump..."
"...! Okay, lie down. I'll lie down next to you."
"Hehe, ugh."
Jimin lay down next to her, and as if he had been waiting for her to lie down, he nuzzled her cheek in his arms, kissed her, and touched her hair, but then his hands stopped as if he had sobered up.
"I guess you've sobered up."
"... Uh... No...?"
"I still can't lie."
"...Is that so...?"
"sleep."
".. Yeah.. Yeah..."
"and"
"I missed you, sis."
