"Oh, do you remember me?"
As soon as Jungkook sat down, Soohyun started bombarding him with questions. Jungkook was secretly unresponsive and remained unresponsive. When Soohyun asked if he knew him, he stared at Soohyun instead of answering and snickered.－. He laughed. The person Soo-hyeon knew from four years ago was nowhere to be found, and only the blunt and hardened 'him' remained.
"Why are you laughing? My question wasn't funny."
"Just, honestly, there's no one who doesn't know me, right?"
"Also, if you go to a fan signing event, there are a lot of people like you?"
His sharp, stiff tone seemed to freeze the cafe, leaving only a slight chill and silence between them. The silence continued until a message alert rang on Jungkook's phone. He happened to glance at it and saw it was saved as "someone I care about." However, Jungkook, upon seeing the message, wore a complex expression, neither particularly pleased nor displeased, and hurriedly put his coat back on.
"Sorry, I'll go first."
Was he truly sorry? Looking back at him, I've finally come to the conclusion that everything he did four years ago was just a facade. Perhaps you shouldn't judge a book by its cover? Then I began to wonder who exactly he "cherishes." But stalking isn't a good thing. He suffers from panic disorder, and while it's not obvious yet, I know better than anyone that he's struggling. And the moment he mistakes me for a sasaeng, I'll be forever estranged from him.
"Yeah, it was a big dream.－."
Su-hyeon, who hadn't had anything to drink at the cafe, went out and finished her hair in a ponytail using the hair tie on her wrist to walk. She lamented her fate and thought that if she continued like this, she might never see him again. As tears welled up in her eyes, she saw a man and a woman arguing in a deserted alley.
"How long do I have to live like this?"
"What are you talking about, who was it that waited patiently for you all this time?"
As Jungkook, wearing a black mask, spoke with a raised voice, I raised my voice even higher and tried to slap him. Without knowing the situation, I ran straight to the alley and blocked Jungkook's way, and went to the woman. The woman who was about to slap Jungkook instead smiled, showing her neat teeth, as if she was glad she caught him, and slapped me. It hurt a lot, but since Jungkook was once my favorite, I couldn't let him get hurt, so that was enough. I couldn't bear the force and fell to the floor.－. He sat down with a groan.
"Stop it, Jeongseon. Wake up from this dream now."
"···It's better, see you later, Jeongguk."
I think the woman's name was Jeong Seon-ah. She glanced at me briefly, then said, "Look forward to it," and leisurely walked out of the alley. Jeong-guk finally saw me, and asked me to grab his wrist. But I held out my hand, and, assuming it was a natural response, I took it and stood up.
"······Idiot, why are you right?"
"I'm obviously younger, but I still see you as a rabbit."
At those words, Jungkook lowered his head, his face deep in thought as if he was still mulling over the phrase "like a rabbit." After three minutes of silence, Jungkook looked up and urged me to give him his phone, saying I'd never have another chance like this. And then, absentmindedly, I handed him my phone and, going to the phone app, started typing in his contact information, starting with 010.
"This is my contact information, so please save it and contact me anytime."
"I'll definitely take it, and I asked if you knew Soo-hyun, right?"
I nodded at Jeongguk's words and held my breath, waiting for his answer. I knew he'd say he didn't remember, so on the one hand I didn't want to hear it. But on the other hand, since no one knows, I was also filled with anticipation. Jeongguk hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"······I'm sorry, but I've long since forgotten all about the past."
"We can get to know each other little by little."
“I’m sorry, Seokjin hyung, you must have been very sad that you didn’t come out.”
"···I wasn't sad, in fact, I was glad that you came out."
"Oh, my feelings are spilling out. By now, my face would have turned as red as a carrot..." I looked at Jeongguk's expression, and he seemed to be holding back a laugh. When I looked at him, he bit his lower lip, trying to maintain a neutral expression.
"That's good, and feel free to talk."
“Because I think we’ll be seeing each other often from now on.”
