A timeless mind
If episode 9 hadn't ended
Even though I wasn't sick, I dragged my aching body to the meeting anyway. Taehyung occasionally looked at me with concerned eyes, and I nodded subtly to let him know I was okay.
Strangely, when I saw him, my heart ached and felt a pang of pain, yet at the same time, I felt a sense of peace. It was as if we had been together for a long time.
Fortunately, the meeting ended faster than expected, and the chairman told me to go back to the hotel first and pack my bags because he was having a meal with the chairman of JN Group, who had also been in the meeting.

"Oh. And V will go with Manager Han."

"But the Chairman..."

"I have one more bodyguard, so don't worry and take good care of Director Han. He doesn't look well."
I tried my best to hide the fact that I wasn't feeling well, but it didn't work.
Even the chairman found out about that... Han Yeo-ju, you're really pathetic. You're not the type of person who can show off your flaws like this.
Living as my father's puppet, I unknowingly became a perfectionist. Even the smallest mistake was a source of great shame. I blamed myself for such mistakes and punished myself with harsh words.

"I apologize for worrying you, Chairman. I was careless."

"No. If you weren't feeling well, you should have told me."
Unlike my father, the chairman is a truly warm person. If the chairman had been my father, what kind of life would I have lived...?

"Then you two go in and rest. I'll be there on time."
김태형
"Yes, sir. I understand."
The Chairman patted V on the shoulder and got into the car. The car carrying the Chairman slowly drove away.
김태형
"Then shall we go too, Lady?"
한여주
"Yes, that's right."
The meeting place was not far from the hotel, so Taehyung and I walked slowly, feeling the wind and air of Jeju Island.
Have I ever walked so peacefully in my life? With each step, I felt like I was floating on clouds.
김태형
"I'm glad you look happy."
한여주
"Oh... did I look that happy?"
김태형
"Yes. As if I didn't want this moment to end."
한여주
"I really hope so."
The female protagonist who said this made a bitter expression.
김태형
"Even when we go back to Seoul, will we still be friends like this?"
Honestly, I didn't know. I wondered if someone who couldn't live their life like me could make friends.
김태형
"No, let's just be friends now."
한여주
"............"
김태형
"You don't want to be friends with me...?"
한여주
"Ah... that's not it..."
김태형
"Then let's be friends."
Whether it was Taehyung's voice or his chiseled face that captivated me, I blurted out unconsciously. "Let's do that."
In this empty life of mine, a precious person called a friend has appeared.
