"Lady, wake up."
Jungkook began to gently shake Yeoju awake. Yeoju slowly opened her eyes, making faint sounds.
Jeongguk said, holding the female protagonist's slender wrist.
"Let's go. I'll take you."
With a thud, the heroine pushed away Jeongguk's hand.
"No need"
Although she was still drunk, the female protagonist had regained some sense.
"Are you distancing yourself from me because I have a girlfriend?"
Honestly, Jungkook was right. The female protagonist couldn't bring herself to see Jungkook, who already had a girlfriend, as a friend, and she couldn't bear to see him with another woman by his side.
While they were drinking, Yeo-ju was cleaning up after Jeong-guk. She even considered taking a leave of absence from school just to avoid seeing Jeong-guk.
"Think whatever you want to think."
The heroine stood up, paid the bill, and left the food stall. She stumbled, but walked as quickly as possible.
Jeongguk followed and caught the female lead.
"Talk to me"
"I have nothing more to say to you."
"Let's never see each other again"
"Are you saying that because you're drunk?"
"No, I'm sober. I'm serious."
My heart was torn to shreds like paper and fell to the floor, but I held back my tears and said.
"Don't lie"
"If you lie, I'll bite your lip."
Yes. I had a habit of biting my lip when I lied. Jungkook, who had been watching me for five years, already knew this, so whenever I lied, he'd catch me.
My sorrow exploded at Jeongguk's words. It didn't matter what happened now.
"Yeah...! I like you."
"I like you, but how can you be with another girl?
Look at him, you selfish bastard."
The tears streaming from my eyes showed no sign of stopping. They ran down my cheeks and fell endlessly, dripping down my face.
"...I've been waiting for you to say that."
Jungkook's words made the female protagonist's mind feel complicated. She couldn't understand what Jungkook meant by those words.
"Haa... Stop talking nonsense and just go to your girlfriend."
"That's why I came."
"what...?"
"To you"
"Speak so I can understand"
"You're my girlfriend, you idiot."
At Jeongguk's words, Yeoju completely sobered up. No, Yeoju's sobering had already begun when Jeongguk blurted out his incomprehensible words.
"What are you talking about now?"
After the female protagonist's words, a soft sensation touched her lips and then fell away.
"You are the one I like"
"The girlfriend I was talking about is you too."
After that, my unrequited love ended.
Later I found out that Jungkook had been giving me relationship advice because he wanted to make me jealous since I wasn't expressing my feelings to him, and I, not knowing that, was giving him relationship advice while swallowing my tears inside.
He said that he had a girlfriend because he wanted to explode with jealousy because he thought it wasn't going to work out, but he thought it was ruined when he saw me sad.
After that, she kept calling me like crazy, but I ignored her and told her that I was here thanks to the food truck owner who answered the phone for me. And then she said she was determined to confess properly...
