02. The weight of our parting
'' Did you receive the script? '' ((Writer
The script the writer spoke of incorporated Wonwoo and me. It was surprisingly similar to his and my story. Did Jeon Wonwoo say that? About our relationship?
''There's nothing to learn.'' ((Wonwoo
'' Yes? '' ((Author
Jeon Won-woo glared at me and put down the script book. I shrugged and shook my head.
Hey Jeon Won-woo. I feel wronged too.
'' Actually, we've known each other since we were trainees. So... Can we go with something different from this script? '' ((Yeoju
'' We don't mind as long as the picture comes out... Wonwoo, are you okay with it? '' ((Author
'' That's more comfortable for me. Can I talk to you alone for a moment? '' ((Wonwoo
'' Oh, of course!! '' ((Author
The writer hurriedly packed his bags and left. He didn't have a camera, and the microphone had been temporarily removed, saying it was a break.
In other words, we are complete enemies... no, only Wonwoo and I are left.
'' I think we have a lot to talk about, don't we? '' ((Wonwoo
''Not really? I don't have any.'' ((Yeoju
'' Ha... Then what are you going to do with the settings? '' ((Wonwoo
''You and I dated when we were trainees.'' ((Yeoju
''Why are you bringing that up?'' ((Wonwoo
Wonwoo's face crumpled. A few lines formed between his eyebrows. Still, rather than being menacingly scary, he seemed handsome.
'' Let's just not break up then and come this far.'' ((Yeoju
''You're crazy...'' ((Wonwoo
''Why? You're the one who dumped me.'' ((Yeoju
''Speak properly, Yeoju. You were the one who started it.'' ((Wonwoo
'' But you were the one who suggested breaking up.'' ((Yeoju
'' Ha... Okay, then do as you say. And don't ever bring this up again. '' ((Wonwoo
I grabbed Wonwoo's wrist as he tried to get up. Wonwoo instantly shook my hand away, causing me to bump my hand against the corner of the desk.
Wonwoo's expression changed as he saw my swollen hand. It was a worried expression.
'' Mr. Ha... Are you okay?? '' ((Wonwoo
Then he grabbed my hand, which he had pushed away, and pulled me into his arms. In that moment, I was overcome with emotion.
''Then why did you do that then?'' ((Yeoju
'' What..? '' ((Wonwoo
''We got along pretty well even after we broke up.'' ((Yeoju
''What do you want to say?'' ((Wonwoo
'' But why... why did you exclude me from the debut group? '' ((Yeoju
'' ...did you know? '' ((Wonwoo
This time I shook his hand hard and said,
''There's no way I didn't know!!! Eliminating me from the debut group was a condition for your contract renewal!!'' ((Yeoju
'' ...... '' ((Wonwoo
'' Huh? You're not even making excuses? '' ((Yeoju
I roughly wiped away the tears that had already flowed.
'' Rather, I am grateful. Thanks to you, I succeeded and am standing here in front of you. '' ((Yeoju
Wonwoo gritted his teeth and wiped the tears from my eyes.
''What are you doing?'' ((Yeoju
''Listen carefully, Yeoju. I hate you as much as you do.'' ((Wonwoo
'' Huh? '' ((Yeoju
"Don't wipe your tears away like you did before. You want to advertise that you cried? I'll tell the production team, so shut up and act like a pro." ((Wonwoo
Wonwoo said that and left me alone.
'' You son of a bitch... '' ((Yeoju
A dirty feeling of defeat lingered over me.
If I had known the weight of separation would be this heavy, I would never have loved Jeon Won-woo.
I just made another fucking promise to myself that was just empty words.
