I know that’s not like me, either.
Still, because of the class, my main career
I don't think it has any effect.
in fact...
I was being greedy and trying to keep teaching Hunji.
He had an expression of trying to understand, but,
It didn't seem like he had erased even the slightest doubt from his mind.
I keep thinking about him.
I ended up making excuses.
I think I'll be starting a full-length novel
I organized things a bit in advance.
There are plenty of people who can teach the class besides me.
The book has my name in it
It is a job that requires a bit more responsibility..."
Whether it was because my desperate look seeking consent reached them,
Or maybe they are letting it slide for now?
He nodded.
That's true.
He lowered his gaze for a moment, then
He looked at me again.
"however...
I still don't really understand..."
So, I came back after getting scolded by Taehyung.
I was too hasty.
"You never know what might happen..."
"It's not that there's something else I don't know about, is it?"
"no..
I didn't know I would be starting another full-length novel so soon.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
I don't think anyone will believe me no matter what excuse I make.
My insides were burning up.
Do I have to get scolded by Hunji again?
The tear stains here haven't even been wiped away yet...
Don't just brush it off as a joke...
You're not holding back from telling me, are you?
Why would you say that?
"I don't know... like the CEO I saw earlier..."
Jeong-ah, too... no one looked comfortable.
It's like you're hiding something from me...."
He looked at me with anxious eyes.
Mr. Hunji...
From now on, to Hunji
I might not be able to tell you everything.
But that is...
It's probably because there's a reason they can't say.
It's not that I'm trying to deceive Hunji...
I had no choice..
"It might be that there is no other choice..."
He said nothing.
"I am....
No. Let's stop. Us...
I'm exhausted because I completely drained my energy on Taehyung..
He grabbed my hand as I stood up.
I won't break up with you no matter what happens.
I stopped about to leave and spoke.
In this world, there is a saying, 'No matter what happens'
There is nothing I can be sure of.
Especially love...
We both feel the same way right now, but
Your heart changes someday.
In my experience.
I let go of his hand,
He covered his cheeks with both hands.
Even that trembling heart became indifferent at some point...
After it passes...
You come to realize that love isn't everything.
He got up and hugged me.
"Why do you keep saying things that make me anxious..."
"I am...
Mr. Hunji, love is just like life
I think it would be good to just accept it as it flows.
Don't try too hard to catch it..."
As soon as I finished speaking,
Instead, he hugged even tighter.
Mr. Hunji...
Among the songs 'almost Monday'
Do you know 'leaving is easy'?
Leaving is easy, but
They say loving is hard.
I don't want him to collapse all at once
I wanted to give hints little by little.
I hoped it would be a thoughtful gesture for him.
Hunji, let go for a moment...
Shall we have a warm cup of tea?
Seat him back in the chair,
I filled a mug with warm water.
Just then, the phone notification rang.
Of the message I sent to Suyeon in the afternoon
It was a reply.
[Why are you leaving so quickly?]
I think the house will sell sooner than expected.
I have a customer right now, so...
I'll call you tomorrow, Suyeon..]
"Won't you go stargazing with me?
