The younger man's direct approach

"..Please... I beg you.."

"..Kim Taehyung...can you please let me go..?"

"Director Jeon Jeong-guk is already here, Ms. Yeoju..."

"Please... can't you make it so that Kim Taehyung doesn't like Yeoju..?"

After the meal, I went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup, thinking I'd have dinner with Jungkook. The bride, Yoon Joo-hyun, was also there, looking in the mirror, probably to touch up. I couldn't help but bow slightly, as she was the wife of our company's manager, but when she saw me, she suddenly looked shocked and fell to her knees, crying. I was unsure of what was going on, but I guessed the manager was talking about me again. Even if we didn't marry out of love, talking about another woman in front of my wife...

"..sorry..."

"I'm sorry there's nothing I can do..."

"...I also hope that Yoon Joo-hyun meets a good person..."

"Not a guy like Kim Taehyung... Find someone who likes Yoon Joohyun..."

"All I can say right now is this..."

Not being loved... was extremely difficult and painful. Honestly, I couldn't really understand it because I'd never felt it myself, but just seeing it was painful. That the person I loved... didn't love me back... that the person I married... liked another woman... was honestly absurd. How much must that woman be hurting...? How much must she be struggling...? It was all... because of me... I cried with guilt.

"Goyeoju..! Why are you out so late..??!"

"..Huh...? Oh... Sorry.."

"What is that crying sound??"

"..Where are you hurt??"

"..That's not it.. Jeongg.."

"Or... what did I do wrong..?"

"Is it because I made things so hard for you, sister...?"

"..I'm sorry... Don't cry.."

Jungkook, who had gone out to get his car, was waiting anxiously in front of the women's restroom. No matter how long I waited, he didn't come, and I heard a woman crying in front of the restroom, so I guess I was worried. It wasn't a big deal, but it felt like only ten minutes had passed since I entered the restroom, but Jungkook was really concerned about me. Judging by the sweat dripping from his running clothes, I could tell.

"It's not your fault.. haha"

"You are so good to me."

"..Really...? It's not because of me..?"

"Well then, I'm sorry for worrying you."

"..It's okay, nothing happened to you."

"That's fine, I'm sorry, you don't have to do it."

I've heard that it's truly a miracle that the person I love loves me. Maybe the person I love loves me more than I love myself. I wish this miracle could happen to everyone... Then there wouldn't be any more heartache... It's selfish, but I'm really lucky. Jungkook loves me so much.I shouldn't compare, but... I'm truly blessed.

"...Jungkook, I really love you."

"Huh..? Suddenly?"

"..You express yourself a lot, but I feel like I don't..."

"Just having you by my side is enough"

"I love you more, so I need to express it more."

"..I love you more, Jungkook, than I do you."

"Phew... that's a good point"

"Still, sister."

"I want to love you more."
