About 4 hours after Jungkook went into his room, he finally came out. He glanced at Yeoju, who was lying on the living room sofa playing on her phone, then picked up a banana on the table, peeled it, and put it in his mouth. Jungkook's stomach growled softly, as if he was hungry. He looked at Yeoju, wondering if she had heard, but thankfully she didn't and was still looking at her phone.
Then, Yeoju put down her phone and sat up from where she was lying. She didn't forget to stretch either. Jeongguk's mouth was still chewing on a banana, and his eyes were still looking at Yeoju. Yeoju asked Jeongguk what he was doing in the room.
"I just thought of a song lyric and wrote it...huh?"
"Song lyrics?"
Jungkook was flustered and didn't know what to do at the habitual words. Jungkook's mouth, which had been chewing on a banana, stopped and his pupils shook. However, Yeoju wasn't flustered either; rather, she remained calm. Sweat was beading on Jungkook's forehead.
"Jungkook oppa, no way.."
"Huh, huh?"
"Is being a composer a job like that?"
"Huh? That, that's right.."
Jungkook sighed in relief and glanced at Yeoju. He was looking at her as if he didn't know anything. And because his expression was secretly cute, his ears were turning red without him realizing it. Yeoju looked at Jungkook's ears and laughed, pointing to them with her hand and saying that they were turning red.
"Oppaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Your ears are super red!!!"
"Oh, don't look into it.."
"Hey, oppa, are you embarrassed?!"
"Oh, that's not it!!"
Jungkook left the banana peel he'd finished eating on the table, went into his room, and slammed the door shut. Yeoju stared at Jungkook's room, visible from afar.The female protagonist laughed so hard that her body temperature rose and she felt hot, so she grabbed her clothes and fluttered them around. Of course, her ears were red just like Jungkook's.
"..I'm not crazy.."
"Ah, I want to eat meat..."
"huh?"Jungkook was sitting on the sofa when he came out. Yeoju was sitting on the floor eating a banana and muttering to herself what she wanted to eat. Jungkook heard that and asked her back.
The female protagonist looked at Jeongguk with surprised rabbit eyes after hearing her small words. Jeongguk stuttered again when his eyes met with the female protagonist's.
"Why, why.."
"Oppa, you must have really good ears! How did you hear everything I said quietly?"
"It's not just you, you're naturally perceptive."
"Hey, oppa, are you interested in me?"
When the female protagonist suddenly asked Jungkook if he was interested in her, Jungkook forced a smile and strongly denied it. The female protagonist poked Jungkook's arm, saying it was just a joke. Although it didn't hurt at all, Jungkook pretended to be in pain and covered his arm with his hand, making a groan.
"It's a bit much, I just hit it a little."
"..sorry."
"It's okay! Oppa, if you go to the front yard, there's a wooden table and everything. Do you want to grill some meat outside?"
"It doesn't matter. If that's what you want to do, then do it."
"Then I'll prepare the vegetables and rice and go, so you can take care of the grill!"
"Take it slow."
"Brother, be careful with fire..."
Jungkook opened the veranda door and went out into the front yard. Yeoju entered the kitchen only after confirming that Jungkook had left. She took the vegetables out of the refrigerator and carefully washed them under cold, running water. After washing everything, she took the plate containing the frozen meat out of the freezer with a little force.
"..It's been a really long time since I've eaten with anyone."
The female protagonist smiled bitterly and looked at the frozen meat in her hand. Soon, her hand felt cold. The female protagonist also hurriedly left the kitchen and headed to the front yard.
As they went out to the front yard, Jeongguk was lighting a fire as usual. Yeoju gasped at the sight of him for the first time and stood next to Jeongguk.
"I guess this isn't your first time, oppa?"
"Yeah. It's not your first time. Go sit down quickly and I'll cook the meat for you right away."
"Then I have a favor to ask..!"
"huh."
She handed the plate of meat to Jungkook and sat down in her usual seat. With nothing much to do, Yeoju just sat there, staring at Jungkook's back. Jungkook was so focused on the meat that he didn't seem to mind no matter how much Yeoju stared at him. It had been a while since she'd had a meal with someone, so Yeoju felt a strange, unfamiliar feeling. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the evening breeze blowing gently.
Yeoju, a girl who had lived in a quiet, uninhabited rural village, was lonely. She spent her days tormented by the reality of having to live alone, without any family or acquaintances. Into this dark day, a ray of light, Jeongguk, cautiously entered. Fortunately, Jeongguk seemed to open his heart to Yeoju within a day.
"Kim Yeo-ju!!"
"Huh, huh?"
"I called you several times, but you didn't answer. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Oh, thank you! I'll enjoy it~"
Jungkook looked at Yeoju nervously. Yeoju locked eyes with Jungkook and gave him a thumbs up, saying it was delicious. Jungkook sighed in relief and went back to grilling the meat. Yeoju, watching Jungkook grill the meat without even eating herself, took out a leaf of lettuce and made a ball with the meat, green onion, and ssamjang.
"Oppa, eat this..!"
"Oh, thank you."
Jungkook took the ssam she gave him and ate it. Instead of saying it was delicious, he nodded and looked at her. She was smiling and looking at him, and their eyes met. Maybe it was because it was evening and the sunset was setting, but she looked so pretty that his heart pounded loudly. Jungkook averted his eyes first, fanned himself with his hand, and tried to focus on grilling the meat again, but the image of her expression still lingered in his mind.
'..It's pretty.'
"Aren't you cold?"
"No, it's not cold!"
"That's fortunate."
Jungkook asked, worried about Yeoju, who was wearing only thin clothes in the rather chilly night breeze. However, contrary to what Yeoju said, her arms were shaking and she was biting her lips to keep from shivering. Jungkook sighed faintly, got up from his seat, and put the windbreaker he was wearing on Yeoju. It felt strange to see Jungkook putting clothes on her. Jungkook pulled up her jacket and sat down next to her again.
"Let's go in right away."
"..It's really okay.."
"If you catch a cold like that, not only you but I will suffer. Stop being so stubborn, okay?"
"..I'll say so."
"He won't say he understands even if he dies."
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hey~"
Yeoju and Jungkook continued their conversation, giggling. These two looked like a couple. Really. Yeoju was slightly sleepy, perhaps because Jungkook's warmth was still in her jacket. Jungkook hadn't noticed yet, so he just stared at the stars in the sky without thinking. Then, at the sound of Yeoju's soft voice calling his name, he immediately looked at her.
"Oppa, I'm really sorry, but I'm sleepy.."
"Let's go in now. If you sleep here, you'll really catch a cold."
"Ugh... Not now..."
"..Then what should I do?"
The female protagonist pretended to think for a moment, then snuggled closer to Jungkook. Jungkook's sudden action made him stiffen. When Jungkook turned his head, the female protagonist came close enough to be right in front of his nose. Then, she leaned her head on Jungkook's shoulder. Jungkook snorted and gently brushed his hair with one hand.
"Wait...is it okay to wait?"
"..Yeah. Of course."
Yeoju fell asleep on Jeongguk's shoulder. Jeongguk's shoulder hurt, but he couldn't bring himself to touch her, afraid she would wake him. After a few dozen minutes, he lifted Yeoju into a princess-like embrace and laid her on the bed in the master bedroom. As he left the bedroom, Jeongguk felt a pang of anxiety and frustration.
After Jungkook finished cleaning the table and the dishes, he went into his room, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell asleep. The two of them fell asleep with happy expressions on their faces the entire time.
