Jungkook oppa cherished me terribly. No matter what I did, he always stayed by my side. He always said he was so scared when I was out of sight. He felt like I'd disappear without a trace. I smiled at him. Then I shook my head and patted his back, telling him not to think like that.
Maybe I'm my brother's refuge. Just as I leaned on him seven years ago, he's leaning on me. Being the manager of a single vampire and the Tower's manager was quite a demanding job. I hadn't realized it before because I was so attached to Yoongi and the Tower, but the Tower's manager had a lot to do. It seemed like seeing human corpses was a particularly common part of the job. After all, it was vampire-related work. My brother always looked haggard when he came home from work. But because of my presence, he'd instantly smile brightly and hug me. I, too, had no intention of letting Jungkook go.
"love you."
"······."
"But this is what I always say
I think I'll do it first."
Now that I think about it, you've never told me you love me. I love you too. Can you just say it once? I won't ask you to do it first. I couldn't give a hasty answer. My brother had told me he loved me hundreds of times in this short time, but every time I heard him, I felt confused and would walk away.
"······."
"My lady."
I think I treated Yoongi well. In a way, I've known Jungkook oppa longer, but I always felt like I was focusing on Yoongi. And I was always the one on the receiving end, the one saying, "Me too." But why can't I treat him the same way in this exact same situation? Maybe I'm... Yoongi.
Mr. Yoongi, Mr. Yoongi, Mr. Yoongi······. Ah.
"···Okay, I'll try harder."
"··· I'm sorry.
It wasn't my intention... "
"I know. It's a little early for you to sort things out.
I think I was a little rushed."
"Brother..."
"It's okay. I believe we feel the same way." My heart sank as my brother, embracing me and softly telling me he loved me, finished those words. I was terrified he'd be hurt. I had to reassure him, no matter what.
"··· Oppa."
"huh?"
side.
"······."
I just... felt like I had to do something. I don't hate you, oppa. He said my behavior was cute and hugged me again. I was glad he wasn't hurt.
At that moment, Yoon-gi arrived at the American International Airport. As he dragged his suitcase outside, a terrifyingly blue sky greeted him. Then, he remembered a trip he'd taken with Yuna. We'd been walking around a lot, promising to make lots of good memories... Yoon-gi smiled and took out his sunglasses.
"Hi yoongi~ long time no see."
(Hi Yoongi~ Long time no see.)
"Yeah, have you been well?"
(Yeah, how have you been?)
"It's me, of course. Did you
say your new bride's
name is Kim Yeo-joo?
(Of course I am. I'm new
(I think the bride's name was Yeoju?)
Chris was a sheriff and manager working for the American vampire empire. Chris was the first to hear of Yoongi's decision to live in America, and since they were close friends, he rushed to the airport to pick him up.
Yoon-ki, sensitive to the female protagonist's words, was slightly surprised, but pretended not to notice. He couldn't say anything. Still, he scratched the back of his head, chuckled awkwardly, and continued talking.
"Yeah, but··· not anymore."
(That's right, but... not anymore.)
"··· Did you make another mistake?"
(··· Did you make another mistake?)
"It just happened to be like that···."
(It just so happened that way...)
"Don't think too deeply though.
You look weak."
(But don't be too heartbroken.
You look very weak.)
Chris tried to comfort the depressed Yoongi, patting his shoulder a couple of times. Yoongi, now in Chris's car, asked where he was going. Chris, his spirits lifted, said he'd decided to stay at his place for now and stepped on the accelerator. Yoongi nodded slightly, opened the window, and let the cool air in. He had resolved not to think about Yeoju any longer.
"The Korean Empress's
temper is still the same?"
(Is the Korean Empress Dowager still as hot-tempered?)
"Yeah, she's not an easy
person to change."
(Yeah. He's not someone who changes easily.)
"Well···that's true."
(Well... that's true.)
The Empress Dowager's words brought back memories of the day his relationship with Yeoju ended. His fists clenched. If it weren't for you, Yeoju would have been... Yet, he couldn't believe it was entirely the Empress Dowager's fault. If he truly loved Yeoju, he wouldn't have mentioned Yeon-ah's name in that situation.
"Please take care of
me for a while, Chris."
(Please take care of me for a little while, Chris.)
Yoon-ki had no plans to take another bride. He felt that if he was going to forget Yeon-ah anyway, no more brides should be harmed. And from now on, he planned to stay in America for the rest of his life.
"But still, heroine, you
If you kill me, I will gladly die."
But my time in America didn't seem like it would last long. Ultimately, I was sure to be killed by the person who sent the heroine. I figured I'd atone for my sins.
Our Yoongi went to America~!~~!
