What does Kang Tae-hyun's situation have to do with me?
But… why does it seem like I can see that expression at that time..?
(*Taehyun's point of view)
After the heroine left… I just looked at the strawberries she had bought…
I'm just crying for no reason...
Do I deserve to feel this warmth..?
.
.
.
8 years ago… I regret so much when I received that call… .
That day was the day I went on a date with the female lead for the first time in a long time…
But then suddenly I got a phone call…
'aunt'….
Something felt uneasy… .
My aunt never calls unless it's about my grandmother...
📞Taehyun: Hello…?
📞Aunt: Taehyun… Are you busy these days..?
📞Taehyun: A little... But why..?
📞Aunt: Could you please look after Grandma?
📞Taehyun: Yes..?!
📞Aunt: You know Grandma is very sick… .
You are the only person in Seoul right now… .
I'm also very busy...
Yes… all my cousins went to study abroad or joined the military…
All my relatives went down to the countryside…
My aunt also runs a business, so she's very busy.
📞Taehyun: Ah, how long will it take..?
📞Aunt: You have to stay in the hospital for a month… .
📞Taehyun: A month…?!
A month..?! The season is ending soon, so I decided to go on a trip with the female lead… .
But then, Grandma… .
But then again… if I go on a trip, I’ll be busy with my part-time job… .
📞Taehyun: I'm sorry... I don't think a month will do...
📞Aunt: Ah… Then there’s nothing I can do…
.
.
.
Is this the right choice..?
I refused, but my hands were shaking.
I wonder if something will happen because of me..?
.
.
.
Yeoju: Taehyun, are you okay? You seem to be having a hard time these days...
Taehyun: Oh, it's okay.. haha
Heroine: Haha, if it's hard, definitely tell me
The female protagonist is smiling like this without knowing anything…
I also want to laugh happily with the female lead… .
My heart was burning… .
.
.
.
That night… I was alone in my room, crying…
It’s so hard…
I just regret it…
Should I just call back and say I can look after grandma?
But I can’t cancel my trip with the female lead…
.
.
.
Then it got too hard
The day before graduation…
The heroine'sMy heart can't even think... .
I just gave notice of the breakup…
.
.
.
But I can't give up on my dream of becoming a teacher
I left my grandmother's care to my aunt
While working part-time for a year
I prepared for the teacher certification exam…
.
.
.
So a year later…
After getting my teaching license….
Not long after
I was assigned to my first school for the new semester…
First day at work…
I'm riding the subway… .
I got a text from my aunt…
My grandmother passed away this morning… .
He said he wanted to see his grandson's face before he left.
I asked for it…
As soon as I saw the text, tears welled up in my eyes…
Even if you take the teacher certification exam a little late
I should have gone and seen Grandma’s face at least once…
I should have gone and hugged you at least once…
.
.
.
I held back my tears and arrived at school…
When I opened the door to the second-year teachers' office and went in…
I saw the female protagonist's face.
I told you to tell me when you're having a hard time...
This is the hardest time right now…
.
.
.
(_today)
The heroine's hands are so warm...
It’s been a long time since I felt this warmth…
I was drawn to it without realizing it…
Because I don’t want to lose anymore…
I grabbed the female protagonist’s wrist without realizing it…
perhaps…
I may still need a heroine…
