Jungkook: Where are you going?
Yeoju: I have an appointment. And at work
I told you to pretend you don't know.
Jungkook: I heard everything. But how can I see you off? Right?
Yeoju: Then you're the one who's worse! I...!
Just as I was about to cry out to Jungkook,
Taehyung must have seen Jungkook holding my arm from afar.
He ran over to me and asked, "Are you OK?"
Taehyung: Yeoju! Are you okay? What happened?
Yeoju: Oh... it's okay, let's go have lunch.
Jungkook: Excuse me, can't you see I'm talking to her right now?
Ahh... I have a headache. Why now?
This is so horrible. So it's ok for me and not for you?
It was clear that Jungkook was in a very bad mood.
I was always in an inferior position in front of him, so I had no choice but to be careful.
Taehyung: I promised you first, right?
I worked really hard to make this promise.
We can't let that be taken away, can we?
Well then, let's go. Every minute and every second is very important to me.
Saying that, he gently grabbed my wrist so as not to hurt me.
Taehyung takes him outside.
The look on Jungkook's face when he saw that was...indescribable.
From here between Taehyung and Jungkook
Quiet sparks began to fly.
Taehyung took me to a small pasta restaurant.
To be honest, I was really worried about Jungkook.
I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me.
But when I think about Taehyung who brought me this far,
At least for now, I wanted to forget the feelings of hurt that Jungkook had caused me.
Taehyung: Yeoju, is there anything you want to eat?
Yeoju: Hmm... I'll have carbonara! Taehyung, you can have some too.
Taehyung: Then I'll have carbonara too.
After the order, there was a moment of silence.
It's no surprise, we only met yesterday and it wasn't the best way to meet.
Taehyung must have sensed how nervous I was because he tried his best to lighten the mood.
Taehyung: What do you like, Yeoju?
Yeoju: What kind of story is it?
Taehyung: It's a hobby. What are your hobbies, Yeoju?
Yeoju: I like watching movies and listening to music.
Taehyung: Then let's go see a movie together next time.
Yeoju: C-c-huh...huh?!
Taehyung: Ah... was I in a bit of a hurry? Sorry.
Here's Tish.
Yeoju: No, no, thank you...
I was so surprised that I spat out the water I was drinking.
Taehyung naturally handed me a tissue.
At that moment, the carbonara was brought to me.
I said, "Itadakimasu," and started eating.
I'm not the type of person who cares much about "eating cleanly," so
I think I was slurping it up with chopsticks like I was eating ramen.
Taehyung must have found my behavior amusing because he stopped eating and looked at me intently.
Yeoju: ...What is it?
Taehyung: It feels good to see you eating so deliciously.
Yeoju: I eat quite a lot.
Taehyung: Ah, it's spilling here
Saying that, Taehyung wiped the corner of my mouth with his finger.
To be honest, I wasn't used to it, but I didn't show it on my face.
For some reason, even in a situation like this, the first person that came to mind was Jungkook.
Yeoju: Thank you, Taehyung.
Taehyung: No no, Yeoju, please eat slowly.
If you rush, you'll get an upset stomach.
Even though he said that, my heart fluttered a little, but it was only for a moment.
I suddenly wondered what it would have been like if the person in front of me had been Jungkook.
I wonder if Jungkook is eating right now...?
As I was absentmindedly thinking about such things—
The door to the pasta shop opens...
See you next time, episode 5 :)
