Kim Seok-jin was resolute.
"Seokjin, what would you do if I broke up with you?"
"Why would you imagine something like that? It's creepy."
"No, but think about it. What are you going to do?"
" ... I'll never see you again."
" ... "
"I won't contact you at all, and I'll avoid any places you might go."
" and? "
"I'll just erase it from my memory."
"This is too much. How can a person do that?"
"So you're saying we shouldn't break up?"
-
Kim Seok-jin kept this promise very well.
Even if I call you while I'm drunk
[ I didn't answer the phone, so it went to voicemail - ]
I didn't receive it once,
Even though we live in the same neighborhood, we always run into each other at least once a day.
We haven't seen each other since we broke up.
That Kim Seok-jin,
-
Say hello to me.
"..How have you been?"
Looking straight into my eyes.
-
When I ran into Kim Yeo-ju during the interview, I was so devastated I was going crazy.
I've been running away for three years,
The place we met was the company.
I wanted to get out of my seat.
no,
I just wanted to hug Kim Yeo-ju just once.
-
Kim Yeo-ju was cruel.
You've meddled in all my memories of youth
"I have nothing. That's why I'm leaving you."
" ... "
"You said so. If we break up, you'll erase it from my memory."
"You really - "
"Erase. From memory. Everything."
He left, telling me to sort things out with just one word.
-
After that, whenever I saw Kim Yeo-ju, I was overcome with thoughts like, what should I do?
And the way I came up with it was,
"You're a manager now. You got promoted without even raising your hand, even though your father is the chairman. That's really amazing."
It was about becoming a shining person.
-
So my plan was to show myself as relaxed and bright as possible without Kim Yeo-ju...
"..How have you been?"
I ruined everything.
This isn't it.
-
It feels like someone is shooting lasers at my eyes.
Who is that?
of course...
" ... "
It's Kim Seok-jin, staring at me with a scary expression for the past 6 hours.
What did I do wrong?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Oh, do you just hate me?
No, I didn't even say hello.
"..what is on my face, sir?"
"No. It's clean."
"But why..."
"It's already 6 o'clock. We have a new employee here today. Should we have a company dinner?"
Chewed.
-
"Okay, everyone order whatever you want to eat. And please control your drinking so we can get back before the last train leaves. I'm going to use the bathroom for a bit."
I can't figure out what their intentions are.
Why don't you suddenly say hello?
He was glaring at me like I was going to die earlier, but now he's saying it's a company dinner and has me sit down next to him.
'No matter how I look at it, Kim Seok-jin is also secretly crazy.'
I decided to ask him what he was thinking when he came back from the bathroom.
however,
"..But the manager went to the bathroom and isn't coming back?"
No matter how long I waited, Kim Seok-jin never came.
"Oh, he's famous. He's the first to run away when there's a company dinner."
" yes? "
"I heard he had a bad case of injections, so he would always say he was going to the bathroom to avoid drinking, and he would leave his card behind and run off to the convenience store alone."
"That's right, I keep getting caught, but I keep running away. Or is there something bothering me..."
"It's a parachute. That's why I jumped out because I was scared."
"Ah... I told you not to say that in front of the newbies..."
"..a parachute?"
"Didn't you know? Manager Kim's father is the president of this company. But then again, he started out as an intern and started annoying people."
"That's right. I'm always smiling. I'm unlucky."
Once I got drunk, there was nothing I couldn't say.
So that's why you ran away.
"I'll go first, I have something to do at home..."
"Miss Yeoju! Where are you going? Are you starting to resemble Manager Kim?"
-
"They said he ran away to a convenience store, and it was true."
" ... "
"Why are you running away? Rumors are already out there."
"I just don't want to be around people."
"Well... how have you been?"
"I couldn't stand it. I was so scared of people that I ran away."
"..did you drink?"
"I only had one can of beer."
" ... "
"It's funny. I always go around laughing and being unlucky, but when I look back, there's nothing there."
" ... "
"You always said that when you watched Cinderella, you wished that a prince on a white horse would come pick you up."
"Why is that suddenly..."
"I wanted to do that for you. But I failed miserably. You should have relied on me, but I relied on you."
" what? "
"I couldn't live without you. It was hard."
" ... "
"I missed you."
