You and I started dating when we were 18.
Over the past ten years,
we had arguments, conflicts,
and went through several crises,
but in the end,
we got married at 28.
At first, we were a couple filled with love and laughter.
Jungkook: "Thank you for marrying me. I mean it. I love you."
You: "Yeah, I love you too. Thank you so much, Jungkook."
You: "Can I kiss you?"
Jungkook: "Why are you even asking? Come here."
That was us.
But now, a year later,
why is Jeon Jungkook holding hands and kissing another woman right in front of me?
I tried to deny it over and over again, but there was no doubt.
It was definitely Jeon Jungkook.
You: (We fought recently, but this… this is too much…)
Tears fell from my eyes.
Without hesitation, I walked toward them.
You: "...Jeon Jungkook."
Jungkook had a guilty look for a moment,
but then he quickly composed himself and spoke.
Jungkook: "What? Do you have something to say to me?"
Woman: "Oppa, who is this girl?"
Jungkook: "Ah, just someone I used to know."
Just someone he used to know.
Our eleven years of love ended with that one sentence.
Even in this infuriating moment,
I couldn't say anything.
I felt like such a fool.
Even after seeing Jungkook kiss another woman,
I couldn't bring myself to leave him.
You: "...I'm going."
I sat in silence after getting home.
How long has it been? Three hours?
Then, I heard the passcode being entered,
and he walked in.
Jungkook: "Yeoju."
You: "..."
Jungkook: "Kim Yeoju, answer me."
You: "Why?"
Jungkook: "Are you mad? I'm sorry."
You: "That girl… who is she?"
Jungkook: "I was going to tell you… I'm seeing someone."
You: ".....I see."
Once again,
I spoke like a fool.
Jungkook soon went to the bedroom to sleep,
but I didn’t want to stay under the same roof as him.
So I left.
Even now, our memories keep flashing through my mind.
Jungkook: "Yeoju…"
You: "What?"
Jungkook: "Should we… should we date? No, let's just date."
Jungkook: "Yeoju! Come here!"
You: "Huh? Why?"
Jungkook: "Let's go on the swings.
It's been so long since we last did that, and…
for some reason, it feels exciting."
You: "Hahaha, should we go then?"
Jungkook: "Yeah! Give me your hand!"
Jungkook: "Yeoju… I had a scary dream."
You: "What kind of dream?"
Jungkook: "A dream where you left me…
It was just a dream,
but it felt so real that I cried a lot.
You're so mean."
You: "I'm sorry, Jungkook.
Even in your dreams, I'll only look at you.
And dreams are the opposite of reality, right?"
Jungkook: "Right?
Don't go anywhere, Kim Yeoju."
The flood of memories made me cry again.
I walked to the playground we used to visit often
and sat on the swing, crying for a long time.
Then,
someone stopped in front of me.
I hoped it was Jungkook,
but when I looked up…
??: "Ah… um… are you okay?"
