"You know my dad passed away..."
"huh..."
"We went together."
"Hold these still, you guys."
"From then on, my mother must have been working too hard... She developed a disease that is unknown in our country."
"..."
"At that time, I was a trainee and Taehyung was also just debuting, so we weren't very well known, so my mom just put up with it.
But Taehyung was doing well, and his mom was receiving treatment too.. That's why I quit being a trainee and came out to take care of his mom."
"..."
"..."
"So...? Are you okay, ma'am?"
"..."
○○ was silent for a while.
"There's no cure in Korea yet. I have to go to America."
"..."
"..."
"Taehyung is working. I have to go with Mom. The date we're going has already been set. I want to take care of Mom too, even if it's just a little."
"...When are you going? When will you come?"
"...In a month...I'm leaving the country."
"..."
"It'll come quickly, right?"
"...The post-surgery period is more important for that condition. Until it completely heals..."
"So how much... how much will there be..."
"...I don't know yet...how many years will it last?"
"Ha...then I...we..."
"So. I'm begging the CEO to become your manager so I can see you guys for at least a month. I want to see you guys as much as possible before I go. I want to take care of you guys as much as I can before I go."
"I didn't even know that... I was so angry and asked why I was doing this..."
Seungcheol had been feeling guilty about his actions. ○○ comforted Seungcheol and said that he understood everything.
"I would hate it if my friend gave up being a singer and became my manager. I know how hard he worked."
"under..."
"Don't tell the kids. I'll go quietly and come back looking fine."
"...Are you coming?"
"Of course. I'll work hard and come back when I get my award."
"...If you win the award...you absolutely have to come."
"Yeah. I'll definitely come."
A month later...
How does time pass so quickly? ○○ quit his job the day before he left the country.
"Sister...what's the reason?"
"I'll do better. Don't go, sister..."
"Sister... how long has it been since I last saw you? You're going again... I..."
"...I'm sorry. I'll contact you."
"Sister.."
"...kids."
"..."
"I'll definitely come."
"...Of course you have to come. Just try not to come."
"Haha. See you later."
"Sister!!..."
Seolgi couldn't even catch ○○ and just kept crying.
○○ couldn't even look back.
Because I don't want to be caught crying
I hate seeing children crying
I don't think I can go if I see the kids.
After arriving at the airport, ○○ was sitting on a chair supporting his mother and resting when he saw a familiar face from afar.
"Kim○○!"
"We're here"
"Did you really think we wouldn't come?"
○○ said, "As expected, they are my friends," and I started crying and then laughing because he came even when I told him not to.
○○'s mother also seemed to know her friends and was happy to see them.
○○ said to wait because he would be back to talk for a bit nearby, and then started talking from a place not far away.
"I don't know what to say..."
"Just come quickly. Come and say whatever you want to say."
"That's right. Think of me when you come and buy me a gift."
"My phone is always on, so send me lots of pictures."
"...I'll really try to contact you often. Just try not to answer..."
"Are you telling me not to practice after hitting the target? LOL"
"Oh my god! Even at times like this, Yoon Jung Han is still playing around!!ㅜㅜ"
"I'm telling you not to cry~"
"I really... will come quickly..."
"Ah, ○○, and..."
"...?"
"Men...are all wolves. It's no different in foreign countries...so don't just ask for my number and give it to me..."
"...Phew.."
"Ah ...
"It's been a while since I've said something right haha"
"I'm serious, ○○!"
"Okay lol I'll never give it to you lol"
"Haha, have a safe trip. Don't get sick."
"You guys too...are really doing well."
"Taehyung will take responsibility and take care of you."
"No. I'll play nice with you."
"...Taehyung likes everyone except you guys"
"Hahaha, hurry up. It's time."
"...I'm really going.."
As they watched ○○ leave with his mother, leaving behind a feeling of regret, the three of them felt sad for no reason.
※This isn't the end!! This is just the beginning!!
