[TALK] Baby, I think it's a bit dangerous?
31. Where it is
32. No more
33. What is the reason?
As soon as I finished chatting with Uncle Jungkook, I typed "MY Big Korea" into the search bar. It wasn't too far from my house, so I hurriedly got dressed and headed outside.
"Why... why are you acting like this all of a sudden..."
I hurried my steps. It was only when I saw the company building with the electronic display reading "MY Big Korea" right in front of me that I stopped and looked up. I had to crane my neck and tilt my chin back to see the top. Only then did the reality begin to sink in. That you could never be in the same position as me.
Do you happen to know which floor the CEO's office is on?
"What brings you to the boss's office?"
He/She is an acquaintance.
The front desk clerk tilted their head slightly suspiciously and told me it was the 67th floor. I took the elevator in the lobby up to the 67th floor. Perhaps because it was a luxury building, it was very fast even to go up to a high floor.
"hey."
"yes?"
I spoke to the man sitting in the seat prepared in front of the door to the room labeled 'Boss's Office'.
"May I come in right now? It's someone I know."
Ah, yes.
I gave a slight nod and knocked on the president's office door. Then, I heard a voice from inside telling me to come in. I grabbed the doorknob and pulled it down. Our eyes met as the door creaked open.
Why did you come?
"You're the one who should be looking for me, why aren't you?"
"what?"
"You're saying I've become the opposing organization's weakness?"
How did you...
Do you think I can't even protect myself?
"...How are you supposed to defeat someone with a gun and a knife with just your bare hands in the first place?"
"Somehow."
"Isn't that a really stupid thing to do?"
Yes. I know.
I know. Loving you in the first place was a foolish thing to do. But I was certain. I vowed countless times that I wouldn't let you go, regardless of whether I became a weakness for the opposing organization or not. I struggled to calm my pounding heart. Because if I didn't calm it down now, I felt like I would run over and hug you at any moment.
Go. Hurry up.
"I don't want to. I'm not going."
"I can't put up with your childishness here. Go away."
It's not childish.
That's right. That's how it looks to me.
It must only look that way to you, sir.
"...under"
What is the reason?
You should at least tell me the reason.
What is it that makes you so anxious? Is it that you won't be able to protect me? Or that you'll get caught up in the guilt of not being able to protect me and become unable to do anything? It seems like it's probably one of the two.
In an instant, his eyes welled up with tears. I hadn't seen him cry before, so it felt a bit strange to see him cry so suddenly. As he lowered his head, a tear that had gathered at the corner of his eye plopped onto the desk. The fallen tear changed the color of the wooden surface. He tried hard to wipe away the tears that were slowly spreading, but of course, they wouldn't come off. After wiping a few times, he seemed to realize it wasn't working and covered his face with his hands. It must mean he didn't want to show it.
Don't cry.
I won't cry.
"lie."
"...I told you I wouldn't cry."
"If you cry, I want to cry too."
"lie."
It was a wounded look. One that had lost everything. One that had given up everything. It was that kind of look.
"...i like you."
Lee Yeo-ju.
Do you think people's hearts change that easily?
Don't like it.
"no, I do not want."
"Don't like it."
"How do you do that?"
You really...!!
"That's right. I'm a disobedient, immature kid who doesn't know the world. So don't expect anything from me. Like telling me not to like you, or things like that."
I slammed the door to the boss's office shut and walked out. He must have been hurt again.
"...Ugh, seriously... Why do you keep doing this..."
Things kept getting twisted. Like a rope that, once tied, cannot be untied. Like a rope that must eventually be cut. But I cannot do that. I cannot give up on you and live on as if nothing happened, without anyone knowing.
Ugh... This isn't fun...
I'm sorry for coming late.
