The Most Familiar Voice_Episode 69

I was even more nervous because I'd set up a blind date with Nam-ju over the weekend. No matter how disobedient he might be, I wanted him to meet a good person, be happy, and not get hurt, just like an older sister.

Being home alone makes me feel empty. Nam-ju said she'd sleep over at a friend's house while working on her homework, and Tae-hyung said he was busy with an important meeting.

"I feel lonely because I'm alone."

To relieve the feeling of emptiness, I started cleaning. As I vacuumed every nook and cranny, something got stuck under the sofa.

I pulled it out to check, and it was none other than the letter that Yun-gi had given me when I was 300 days old.

오여주

"Why is this here...?"

I had been so filled with happy days with Taehyung that I had forgotten about it for a while, but then the memories of that day with Yoongi came back to me.

Yunki and I's 300th day was a day when white snow fell.

It was snowing heavily, and I was waiting for Yoongi, rubbing my chilled hands together in the rather cold weather. Yoongi, who always keeps promises, was strangely late.

As I was about to take my phone out of my bag to call Yoongi, I felt a warm hug from behind.

민윤기

"Have you kept me waiting long? Sorry."

오여주

"Why are you so late? I thought something happened."

I wondered if something had happened on the way here, and in that brief moment, I had all sorts of thoughts.

After hearing what I said, Yoongi stood in front of me, met my eyes, and spoke.

민윤기

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

Yoongi took hold of my cold hands and blew on them to warm them up.

민윤기

"It's completely frozen."

민윤기

"You're making the person you love cold. Min Yoongi, you deserve to get scolded."

오여주

"Don't be upset. Min Yoongi is the person I love."

Yoongi couldn't hide his smile, wondering if what I said was that good.

He put my two hands into each pocket of his coat and cupped my cheeks with his own pale hands.

민윤기

"You're so lovely, Oh Yeo-ju."

And so our lips covered. It was a light kiss, yet warmer than anything else.

......

We came into a warm cafe and ordered two glasses of chocolate latte.

As I was thawing my frozen body, Yoongi fumbled with something in his pocket and took out a nicely wrapped letter and a case.

오여주

"Yoongi... Is this a handwritten letter?"

I gave him a handwritten letter that I had been embarrassed to give him even though he wanted to receive it so badly, on the 300th day.

민윤기

"Ah... I'll go home and read that..."

Yoongi's embarrassed expression was so clearly visible. I wanted to tease him more, but since it was 300 days, I decided to hold back.

오여주

"I'm really touched..."

민윤기

"If I had known you would be so touched by a handwritten letter, I would have written it sooner."

Still feeling embarrassed, I opened the case I'd taken out with the handwritten letter. Inside was nothing but a necklace.

오여주

"Isn't this expensive?"

Yun-gi, who still doesn't have a proper job, would have to spend a month's salary to buy such an expensive necklace at a department store.

민윤기

"I can live with this much."

Out of respect, I accepted the necklace. Yoongi, who seemed pleased that I accepted it without a word, stood up and placed the necklace around my neck.

민윤기

"It's pretty. It's perfect for me."

오여주

"You're so pretty. Thank you so much, Yoongi."

It turned out to be untrue, but Yoongi said he'd been working part-time in his spare time to buy this necklace. At the time, I just assumed he was busy with team projects or assignments and couldn't meet up.

I took out the letter and began to read it slowly.

TO. To my beloved heroine

Hello? Yeoju. Ah... Seriously... This is my first time writing a letter to someone, so I don't know what to write or how to write it, but I'll try my best to write down what I want to say to you.

First of all, I was sorry that I was always receiving from you because I was bad at expressing my feelings, and I hated myself so much because I didn't have a proper job and couldn't buy you anything to brag about to others.

I loved and was grateful to you for not being ashamed of me on days like that, for caring for me and loving me. That's why I will definitely succeed and do better for you than you ever did for me.

Thank you for being by my side for 300 days. It's shameless, but please stay with me forever, heroine. I love you, more than you love me. I will love only you for the rest of my life.

Min Yoongi, a fool who only knows Yeoju.

[Thud-]

오여주

"Min Yoongi, you idiot, you bad guy..."

오여주

"Ugh..."

There was no sign of the tears once they started flowing.

That's how much I loved Yoongi.

Ding-dong-]

Then the bell rings,

I checked, and no one was there. I assumed someone had pressed the button as a joke, and was about to sit back down when I heard a familiar voice.

"My Lady... Oh Lady..."

It sounded small, but I knew it without having to listen again.

This is Yoongi.
