The Story of the Female Lead and Beomgyu

ㅡ

When the female lead got home after working overtime, she heard someone calling her name from the wall by her house, and

she got goosebumps all over. For some reason, she felt like she’d heard that low voice somewhere before

She froze and slowly turned her gaze toward the source of the sound. A graceful middle-aged woman with a height as tall as a model and a French coat

leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, waiting for the female lead while exuding an impressive aura.

It was Suyeong, Seol-ah’s mother.

" ..Wh..who are you?"

" I’m Suyeong Lee, team leader at the ×× Research Institute. We’ve met somewhere before, haven’t we?"

The team leader’s words about having met somewhere before sent a chill down her spine. She remembered what Beomgyu had

told her a few days ago. That the researchers would come looking for her, and even that a tracker had been implanted in her body. She stared at Suyeong

with a very wary expression. Huh? Weren’t they a young woman? Then Suyeong laughed as if it were absurd.

" I’m not gonna eat you, Ms. Yeoju. Relax."

" Why are you here?"

" I thought you should know too, Yeoju."

" Know what?"

" I said just now, didn’t I? That we’d met somewhere before."

" ..What are you talking about? Explain it in a way I can understand."

" You and Beomgyu met 14 years ago, but I guess Beomgyu didn’t tell you."

" I met Beomgyu?"

" Yes. But I guess he didn’t act like he knew you because that meeting didn’t end well.

He was the kind of kid who hated seeing Yeoju in pain more than death itself."

She couldn’t understand what on earth she was talking about. Why was she looking for her now?

They had met 14 years ago? She had no memory of that. Was it because she was so tense?

Suddenly her ears started ringing, and as her heart tightened, she couldn’t breathe.

She clutched her chest and gasped for air. The team leader just watched her and

did nothing. I collapsed to the floor, my vision going hazy, and just as I was in agony and

about to close my eyes, I heard someone’s voice and lost consciousness.

The year Yeoju turned 14, on the way home after academy ended, she checked the small puppy collar that had started appearing sometime before, and the name Beomgyu was

engraved on it. Yeoju called the puppy Beomgyu, and while with puppy Beomgyu she would chatter away about the day’s

events, sad things, and times she messed up on a test, then go home. But at some point the puppy was no longer visible, and even after searching nearby,

it was nowhere to be found. Maybe a month had passed. As usual, after academy ended,

on the way home at a street corner, the tiny puppy she had been looking for so long wagged its tail and leaped into Yeoju’s arms, and Yeoju crouched down and spoke to the puppy with a teary face.

" Ah, Beomgyu, where did you go? You’re here now. I looked for you for ages."

" Woof woof."

Whether it understood Yeoju’s words or not, it barked once and licked her face happily.

As she stayed with the puppy, before long it got dark, and just as she was about to turn back and leave, the puppy seemed

as if it were telling Yeoju not to go.

" It’s too late, so I have to go, okay? What’s wrong with you?"

Only then did she notice how scruffy the puppy looked. After checking its body here and there,

she saw that one front paw wasn’t touching the ground and it was limping, as if it had hurt its leg.

" Did you get hurt?"

" Whine."

At Yeoju’s words it could only whine, and the puppy wagged its tail and once again

licked Yeoju’s face. As if she had made up her mind about something, Yeoju opened her schoolbag and carefully put the puppy inside.

Like a sneaky stray cat, Yeoju hugged the bag and went into the empty room on the second floor.

When she opened the zipper and took the puppy out and set it on the floor, it looked so happy it busied itself

running around here and there, wagging its tail. Then Yeoju caught it and it was forced

to take a bath. She washed it gently, making sure not to touch the painful leg too much, and treated the

injured leg too. That’s how Yeoju and the puppy spent happy times together.

She had been secretly raising it on the second floor, but in the end her mother caught her. Her mother, who had

a fur allergy, put on a mask and scolded Yeoju.

" Since when have you been keeping this puppy? Hm?"

" ..."

" Why aren’t you answering?"

" It’s been, like, 2 weeks.. It kept following me around, so I brought it home."

" You just bring it home because it followed you? Does that even make sense?"

Her mother was dumbfounded by Yeoju’s words. Not just a day or two, but 2 weeks?! And since it had a collar,

she thought it must have had an owner, but there was no phone number, so there was nothing she could do.

" Mom has a fur allergy, so no, Yeoju."

" Hng, can’t I keep it outside? sniff"

" No, you can’t. And do you know how much responsibility it takes to raise a living thing?"

" I’m raising one too."

" Yeoju, are animals and people the same? Take it back to where it was."

Yeoju’s mother firmly refused. With tears in her eyes, Yeoju brought the puppy back to the place it had been

and the instant she set it down, the puppy trotted after Yeoju.

" Beomgyu, we can’t live together."

" ...."

" Go back to where you used to live."

" ...."

" I’m sorry."

The two, who had grown attached over time, couldn’t part easily. Then a black sedan

braked hard, and 2 sturdy men dressed entirely in black suits got out of the car and

walked quickly toward Yeoju and Beomgyu, looking at them. Sensing danger, Yeoju

picked up Beomgyu and ran the other way, and the men who noticed chased after Yeoju.

With her small frame, she ran as hard as she could. Even while running, she worried about Beomgyu.

" Don’t worry, Beomgyu. I’ll protec.."

Screechㅡ Bang!

As Yeoju came out into the alley, she was hit by the black sedan and her body flew up into the air.

She held Beomgyu tightly in her arms. If there was any luck in this misfortune, Yeoju, who fell into a pile of trash,

gradually lost strength, and thanks to that Beomgyu was left without even a single scratch. Soon the arm

holding Beomgyu dropped limp, and she lost consciousness. As if things weren’t bad enough, it started pouring rain too, and

as this became a scenario they hadn’t expected, the two men were troubled, and carrying Beomgyu and the unconscious

Yeoju, they got into the car and quickly moved somewhere else.
