For My First Love

After Haewon left, Yeoju was left dazed, as if a storm had swept through and passed by

She was just staring out the window when Taehyun called. She let out a breath and

answered in a trembling voice. Soon she bit her lip

" Yes, Taehyun. "

📞 How's your body, noona?

" Thanks to you, I'm a lot better "

📞 I miss you, noona. Can I come over now?

At his words, saying he missed her, she squeezed her eyes shut. Yeoju's eyelashes were trembling slightly

" ...."

📞 Noona! Are you listening to me?

" Don't come. I'm going to bed early today"

Click. The call cut off. Yeoju had always answered the phone happily, but for some reason her tone was cold

Taehyun felt vaguely uneasy, but thought it was only because she was sick and hadn't recovered her condition

He was only thinking that much. Haewon, who had listened in on the call, snorted from behind as if incredulous

" Hey, Kang Taehyun, you were just on the phone with Seo Yeoju?"

" Noona, when did you get here?"

" Just now. You haven't sorted out Seo Yeoju yet?"

" I haven't even started, so what do you mean, sort out? Stop worrying about my business"

" You were being so frustrating that I went and told Seo Yeoju about it on my way back"

Flinch. Her heart sank. Taehyun's gaze wavered

" What do you mean?"

" That you're my brother.."

" Are you out of your mind?"

In the end, their voices rose

" You need to know your place. How dare you overstep"

" Noona, I said I'm the only one who likes her?"

" Now that I know who you are, I won't contact you anymore

If Mom finds out, do you think I'll just sit back? Have you forgotten what happened to Shin Jooa?

You know this was all for your sake"

" If Shin Jooa and Seo Yeoju had both been chaebol daughters, they wouldn't have been treated like this, would they?"

Taehyun's voice trembled thinly, as if in resignation

" ..What?"

" I'll protect Seo Yeoju. Back then I was too young"

" Kang Taehyun, get a grip! Do you want to die like last time? Huh?"

" Let go! To be blunt, I'm not even a child of this house!"

Taehyun, worked up, spat out harsh words and roughly shook Haewon's arm off

Haewon stumbled, clutching her stomach, and Taehyun's pupils widened as if startled too

" Leave me alone, please.. "

" Taehyun, I never once thought of you as a stranger

Mom and Dad think so too, so let's take the easy road"

" I'm not happy"

" Taehyun.."

Taehyun's eyes grew red

" Do you know what I was thinking back then? Maybe I should just throw everything away and go to my birth parents

Or maybe I should have hidden away with Jooa somewhere no one would know, as if I were dead..

But reality was even more miserable. There was nothing I could do

Ever since Jooa left, my life completely fell apart, so I lived like a drifter

And then I met Seo Yeoju. Even though she doesn't love me, she likes me

But now she'll hate me too, won't she?"

At his honest voice, Haewon said nothing more

She knows. She knows exactly how Taehyun feels now, why he couldn't protect his first love, Shin Jooa

He was too young and immature then. He'll probably live regretting it until the day he dies

Haewon, who had watched from the side, knows that all too well

Yeoju still seemed unable to shake off the shock, lost in deep thought

Even though Subin had come, she didn't move an inch. Even when he came right up to her

" Yeoju"

" ...."

" Yeoju!"

When she still didn't react, Subin touched her forehead. Only then did she respond

" Subin, when did you get here?"

" I got here a while ago. What were you thinking about? You didn't even notice I came. I'm hurt"

Subin's mouth corners drooped. Yeoju laughed it off, saying she had plenty to be disappointed about too

The two sat side by side on the bed, Subin looking out the window and

Yeoju burying her face in her knees while looking at Subin

" Subin"

"Yeah"

" Should I quit my job?"

" What?"

At the unexpected words, he widened his eyes and looked at Yeoju. Yeoju snorted

" Is quitting that surprising?"

" No, it's not that, but would the company just let go of talent like you?"

" I know, that's what I'm worried about too. Why am I so capable?"

" Oh? Being sick scrambled your brain or something?"

" I've always been smart?"

Bickering, the two looked at each other and laughed. It had been a long time since they'd laughed like this

" Quit your job and marry me. I'll take care of you"

" Yeah, but is that a proposal?"

" Maybe? Puhahaha"

" Hey, Choi Sub!! Don't brush it off like that"

" Ahh, fine, fine"

Subin was drooling, laughing with so much playful mischief it felt like they had gone back to childhood

Yeoju was disgusted and told him to wipe his saliva, and Taehyun, who heard their laughter from outside the room,

didn't have the courage to interrupt the two of them

On the day of discharge, Yeoju's mother urgently showed Yeoju the screen on her phone

What's this? Looking closely, it was an article featuring her at a cafe with Kai

Yeoju's face was mosaicked, but Yeoju's mother recognized her at a glance

" Mom, how old is this? Why are you only seeing it now? It's nothing. Just a little happening,

We saw this and honestly cracked up laughing because it was so ridiculous"

" My aunt sent it to me. Isn't it?"

" What if it's real? He's handsome, and he's younger than me"

" Are you blind? Him liking you?"

" Wow, you're disrespecting your own daughter? He's capable! He...he's pretty, ki...kind.."

Yeoju trailed off, gauging her mother's reaction, and her mother's voice only got louder

" Oh, come on, say it straight. What are you going to do about Subin, huh?"

" Why bring up Subin? He's just a friend"

" And yet you've been clinging to him all this time"

" He's my friend, so of course"

" Think about it. Maybe he's not just being a friend and constantly hurting you"

" I like it, so what"

" Tsk. You're the worst of the bunch!"

Yeoju's mother clicked her tongue, and Yeoju couldn't argue because it was true

After Yeoju finished preparing for discharge, Taehyun was standing in front of her. The two sat in the lounge, and Taehyun

needed to make some excuse, but the words wouldn't come. He just fidgeted with his hands

Yeoju waited calmly for Taehyun to speak

" Noona.."

" ...."

" I'm glad you look well"

" Weren't you here because you had something to say to me?"

A long silence started again, and just as she was about to stand up because she couldn't keep waiting

Taehyun grabbed Yeoju's wrist. His big eyes seemed to be saying not to go instead

" I.. I never meant to lie from the beginning. I was going to tell you

No.. I'm sorry. It's all my fault"

" Did I look that pitiful to you? Enough that you couldn't just walk away?"

" No. You aren't that kind of person to me

This isn't pity. You know that I really like you, noona"

Knowing that, Yeoju couldn't be heartless

" If I had known Taehyun was Haewon's younger brother, I wouldn't have even dealt with you

Thinking about how much fun you must have had watching me, I get chills"

" ...."

" I hope we don't see each other anymore. That would be better for both of us"

His unfamiliar expression, his sharp tone. Taehyun was flustered

Yeoju turned to leave, and he hugged her from behind. Her body was trembling and her heart was pounding so hard it was almost unbearable, but

if she didn't do this, it felt like she'd never be able to see him again, so she reached out to stop him

" No.. don't go. Don't go"

" ...."

Yeoju squeezed her eyes shut, broke free from Taehyun, and walked away without looking back

Taehyun stood there for a while, hollow with emptiness

Before I knew it, this has reached episode 20. A little celebration 🥳🎉

This wasn't supposed to be written as a long series

But I guess I'm suited for long-form writing lol

I was only planning to end it at 20 episodes, but when it'll end, I don't even have a clue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And it looks like this is the limit of my writing skill 🥲

I'm dying of secondhand embarrassment lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ」}]}]}】【。assistant to=final 玩大发快三ិន ճիշտ to=final 彩神争霸电脑版 to=final 大发时时彩开奖 在天天中彩票 to=final 手机版天天中彩票 നേതൃത്വം to=final 彩神争霸官方 qq的天天中彩票 to=final সংশোধন to=final ्लेष 北京赛车群 to=final ಾಪ ింట్ 彩神争霸怎么 to=final ప్రసక్తి to=final ប់ արվում to=final ాన్ ുക്ത മാധ്യമ to=final .json тәшкил to=final ాన్ াল ుతున్నారు to=final ൈറ്റ পৌঁছ ૂંક to=final ྲྲ {Jsii
