Episode 4. If You Stand Without Stepping on the Past
Made on 21.11.19
After exchanging contact information with Jungkook, Soohyun went straight home and lay down on a small sofa nearby, as if about to pass out at any moment. She recalled Jungkook from that day four years ago and today, her characteristic pout and head bowed, indicating that she was lost in thought for a moment. As she pondered, she remembered "that" woman. For some reason, saving the sender's name as "someone I care about" made her uncomfortable, and the thought of him almost getting hit by her broke her heart. Still, perhaps a little of the affection she had felt when she was a fan still remained.
"The person I cherish..."
Did I say Jeong Seon-ah (the picture above is of Seon-ah that I saw in an article while searching), I couldn't see her face clearly because she was wearing sunglasses and a mask earlier, but based on the name, there's only one piece of information I know for sure. That is, before Jungkook became a solo singer, he was in a group for two years. Then, Jungkook became famous and appeared on many broadcasts and was called a rising blue chip in the advertising industry. Yes, the leader and the most central member of that group was Jung Ho-seok. Jung Seon-ah is his younger sister who is three years younger than him.
Then, I got a call. It was Shin Yu-na. She was the friend I'd asked to set me up on a blind date.
－How was your blind date today?
－Didn't that senior not come either?
－That senior came and seemed like a very nice person.
－If we have a chance to meet later, let's meet up...
－I'm going to graduate soon, but I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet.
－······Oh, I see. You really saw Seokjin-senpai?
In reality, it was a lie, but if I said I saw former solo singer Jeon Jungkook, it would spread by word of mouth online, become a hot topic, and articles would appear, and I was afraid that Jungkook would be hurt by the comments, so I couldn't lie to my best friend. So I ended my sentence by saying that I was at a club and would call back later. After the call, the space I was in was empty and quiet, so I turned on the TV and chose the news channel between news and entertainment.
"···what's this."
'Is former solo singer Jeon Jung-kook seeing a new woman?', 'That fact has drawn attention to his ex-girlfriend, Jeong Seon-ah...', 'Jeong Seon-ah's newly opened YouTube video mentions someone believed to be Jeon Jung-kook, drawing attention from viewers.' These kinds of provocative reports made headlines, and I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut and watch the news in silence.
* * *
After watching everything and finishing my internet search on my laptop, I realized I had dozens of calls from Jungkook on my phone. The texts were nothing more than an address I assumed was Jungkook's home and a question asking if I'd seen the news article. Seeing the dozens of calls, I frantically called Jungkook, wondering if he'd seen the article. But today, he told me he wasn't answering the calls, which was particularly annoying.
"I guess I should go－."
I sighed deeply and silently checked his address in the message. I realized he lived in an apartment nearby, so I quickly put on my pajamas and coat, put on my shoes, tied my hair up, and opened the front door to try to catch the elevator.
"Did you see that news, I wonder..."
Even those watching couldn't help but feel uneasy as Soo-hyun bit her nails, worrying about Jeong-guk. They just wanted her to forget the bad memories and news about Seon-ah.
I'm sorry I couldn't upload yesterday ㅠㅠ I think I couldn't upload yesterday because I was even busier and had more things to do because it was my day off 😭
Today's post may seem a bit short, but thank you so much for reading the long post. Please leave a comment, even if you have to add a . (full stop) in the comments. Thank you 🌷🙇🏻♀️
