W. 5pm
Two days later, the heroine came back to that stopped time.Jeongguk
I cautiously stepped into the hallway to meet him.
In a classroom where everything has stopped, let's take a step while holding our breath,
In the familiar silence, Jeongguk was waiting.
“Lady, I’m here.”
The female protagonist felt relieved at Jeongguk's low voice and approached him.
The heroine felt her heart pounding and slowly approached him.
“What the… Jeon Jungkook… were you waiting for me?”
I spoke carefully, but the anticipation and tension in those words
I trembled without realizing it.
Jeongguk raised his head and looked at Yeoju.
“I waited for you… but I expected you to come.”
There was a hint of playful ease in his tone,
The look in his eyes was serious.
Two days later, the same scenery and encounter continued.
In their time together, the female protagonist gradually opens her heart to Jeong-guk.
Jungkook also approached her naturally.
But two days later, the female protagonist wakes up and goes to the classroom.
When I looked, nothing happened.
The time that stopped did not come, and the classroom was filled with students as usual.
It was filled with laughter and the sound of paper turning.
‘Why… didn’t it stop today?’
The heroine waited two days, two days again, catching her breath, but time passed
It didn't stop.
After all, for a week she never saw Jeongguk and that space even once.
Couldn't face it.
Even in the midst of anxiety and confusion, the heroine has a memory that remains in a corner of her heart.
I had no choice but to hold on and wait for that time to come again.
Yeoju spent the day at school with a heavy heart.
‘Will that time ever come again?’
For a week, she looked out the window every day and imagined that moment.
One day, I walked alone on the playground, and another day, I waited in the corner of the classroom, secretly checking my wristwatch.
And finally, a week later, the moment arrived.
Everything stopped quietly, and the wind and sound disappeared.
He muttered.
" at las…! "
She quickly got up from her seat and went out into the hallway.
But no matter how much I looked around, I couldn't see Jeongguk.
“Jeon Jungkook…? Where are you?”
I quickened my pace and looked around the hallway.
“Why…? What happened?”
But no sound was heard, and the hallway was still quiet.
The heroine paused for a moment to catch her breath and think.
“No, that can’t be… It’s just a little late.”
But the anxiety in my heart did not go away.
“But… why can’t I see it? Is it really not there..?”
She held her head and sometimes took steps and sometimes stopped.
I felt a feeling close to panic.
The fact that Jeongguk is not here is becoming more and more real, and I can't breathe.
It started to get faster.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard from behind.
“Im Yeo-ju! Are you okay? What’s wrong?”
Jeongguk appeared in a hurry and approached the female lead.
The female protagonist entrusts her trembling body to Jeongguk, and sighs in relief.
I hugged him.
The heroine was surprised, but hugged her tightly and said in a low voice,
Said.
“It’s okay, I’m here. Nothing’s wrong… Calm down.”
The female protagonist slowly calms her trembling heart in Jeongguk's arms.
I felt again the warm reality of just the two of us existing in the frozen time.
The female protagonist slowly raised her head, catching her breath in Jeongguk's arms.
"...Where have you been? I found you."
Her eyes were a mixture of relief and a lingering tremor.
Jungkook takes a moment to catch his breath and gently touches the female protagonist's shoulder.
I hugged her.
“Sorry… I’m a little late.”
The heroine opened her eyes wide and looked at him, then slowly kissed his lips.
He muttered while biting his lip.
“I missed you”
Jungkook smiled slightly as he took her hand.
“I know. That’s why I came running like this. I left you alone.
“I didn’t want to.”
The heroine snuggled deeper into his embrace and let out a small breath.
“You will always be here with me, right?”
Jungkook smiled slightly, and there was something he knew in his eyes.
He had a strange expression on his face.
“Yeah… I’ll always be here.”
His voice was low, but there was something complex in his words.
There was something in it.
As Yeoju looked into his eyes, a question arose in her heart.
‘ Why… is Jungkook here? And why this time?
It took a week…?
She suppressed her tension as much as possible and stopped carefully with Jeongguk.
I walked through the corridors of time.
There was a sense of calm with every step, and there was a strangely warm feeling between the two.
The air flowed.
The female protagonist asked while slowly catching her breath in Jeongguk's arms.
“Jeon Jungkook. How long have you been here?”
Jungkook closed his eyes for a moment and then spoke as if lost in thought.
“Um… how long has it been… honestly, I don’t remember very well.
Since quite some time ago… probably, much longer than you can tell
“I think it was like this before.”
The heroine opened her eyes wide and asked again.
“Then… why school? Why is this the place at this time?”
Jungkook answered, tapping the piano keys for a moment.
“It was just here. I came here and it was here… That’s all.”
The female protagonist narrowed her eyes and spoke with a bewildered expression.
“So you…were a real person?
“Living life?”
Jungkook smiled strangely and nodded.
“Yeah, of course. I was once an ordinary person.
But right here, right now… it just exists like this.”
Jungkook closed his eyes for a moment as if thinking, then looked at Yeoju again and answered softly.
“Yeoju… Actually… This time won’t last long.”
The heroine paused for a moment.
“What…? You’re not going to be gone for long…?”
Jeongguk continued speaking calmly, taking a deep breath.
“Yeah. If things move around again, you might not remember me. This time, you were lucky and remembered me, and someday you will come here.”
You will forget.”
The heroine opened her eyes wide and looked at him.
“Then… what should I do? Will I be able to come back?”
Jungkook smiled slightly, but his eyes were serious as he spoke.
“I don’t know. When will I be able to come here again, time will tell
I don't know if you'll allow it. So, I want to enjoy this moment. It's been a while. It's nice to see someone."
The heroine was speechless for a moment.
And then, quietly catching my breath, I wander through this frozen world with Jeongguk.
Let's walk a little longer, talk, and feel the warmth deep in our hearts
I tried to engrave it.
