Acting like a married couple
8. Why are you coming now?


"Aren't you going to eat lunch?"



김여주
Ah. I have to eat..


최수빈
I ordered Jjajangmyeon. It will be here soon.


김여주
yes..~

ha..

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief

You're saying that I was unusually busy this morning?




등장인물
Grandma | Hey..-

등장인물
Grandma | I haven't been able to digest anything since yesterday...

등장인물
Grandma | I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came.


김여주
lol


김여주
Grandma~


김여주
Did you eat a late-night snack and fall asleep last night?

등장인물
Grandma | Oh my, how did you know that?


김여주
Just looking at it


김여주
I even had a glass of makgeolli with the grandmother next door~

등장인물
Grandma | Ugh.

등장인물
Grandma | If you look closely, you're not a doctor, you're a ghost, ghost... How did you know?


김여주
I know everything~


김여주
How many times have I said this?


김여주
Grandma, I need to cut down on late-night snacks.

등장인물
Grandma | .. Hey, is that as easy as it sounds..


김여주
As you get older, your digestive power may not be what it used to be, right?

등장인물
Grandma | .. that's true


김여주
anyway.


김여주
Today I will prescribe you some medicine that is good for digestion.


김여주
Eat well! Avoid late-night snacks, right?

등장인물
Grandma | Um... I have to listen to what the Master is saying...


김여주
Yes haha


김여주
Now you can get your prescription outside~




I guess it's because it's a rural hospital.

There are usually a lot of quiet days

Today, patients kept coming in non-stop since morning.

Knock knock.

Clank.-


최수빈
Teacher, I just got a call from the elementary school.


최수빈
It looks like my child got seriously injured during the sports day.


최수빈
I'm looking for a teacher urgently...


김여주
Oh, yes


김여주
I'll go right away

When there are no patients

It was common to move around frequently as needed, not only in the hospital but also here and there.





김여주
ha..-


최수빈
Are you tired?


김여주
I'm a bit busy today.. haha


최수빈
That's right lol


최수빈
I feel like time goes by quickly because I'm busy.


최수빈
It's almost time to get off work


김여주
That's right


최수빈
Teacher, would you like me to give you an IV when you have time?


최수빈
You looked a little tired today


김여주
...lol


김여주
Subin, you're secretly trying to use me as a test subject... haha


최수빈
Hey, that's possible haha


김여주
...really,,


김여주
I need to recognize Subin's passion.


최수빈
lol


김여주
Should I start getting ready to leave work soon?


최수빈
all right




Crazy and crazy.-

Bang bang bang.!!


???
Teacher!! Wait a minute!!!



김여주
?


최수빈
I see someone outside..?


김여주
Are you a patient..??

What came suddenly during my off-work hours



최범규
Wait a minute!!! There's a patient here!!!!

Knocking on the hospital door

He was a male student wearing a high school uniform.


김여주
?


김여주
What's going on?


최범규
He's hurt!!!


강태현
...hello

It was Beomgyu who dragged Taehyun, who was limping.



김여주
oh..


김여주
Where are you hurt? Look.

Swish.


강태현
I was just climbing over the wall and fell down.

When I lifted Taehyun's school uniform pants, I saw that his legs were covered in scratches, probably from being scratched by the iron bars.


김여주
...oh my


김여주
Why are you jumping over the wall instead of the perfectly good school gate?


최범규
It's Friday so the school closed early.


김여주
So you jumped over the wall?


최범규
...hehe


김여주
...Hehehe what the hehehe

These children are students who frequently visit the hospital.

If you play around like that, you'll definitely end up getting hurt at least once.

Sometimes I come to the hospital to volunteer at the school.

Since it is a rural hospital, I can remember the faces of the students here.



김여주
First, I need to disinfect it.


강태현
yes..

...

..

.




So, I missed work that day

It was a rewarding day thanks to the people calling me from all over the place.

"Teacher, would you like to come in?"


김여주
Yes, Subin, please be careful when you go in.


최수빈
It's late, should I take you there?


김여주
yes?


최수빈
It's dangerous for a woman to go out alone, after all.


최수빈
It's a rural area, so there are few lights... and sometimes the lights don't even come on.


김여주
It's okay~


김여주
Is this the first or second time I've been on this night road?



최수빈
Then let's go together to the front of the supermarket.


최수빈
All the lights in front of here went out.


김여주
Really? A lot of lights are breaking down these days.


최수빈
That's why...


최수빈
The repairman doesn't come often, probably because he's annoyed.


김여주
Walking at night can be a bit dangerous.

...Well, anyway

There are things that are scarier when you go home...

...haha

Thinking about going home makes me feel tense.

Choi Yeonjun, I'm always afraid that the man's memories will return.

I don't know if I'll be okay at home.

I wonder if it's disappeared somewhere else

I'm worried.





"Then, please be careful on your way in."


김여주
Yes, Subin too~

Soo-bin went back only after taking her to the front of Yeo-ju's house.



김여주
Ha~


김여주
But what makes me feel safer knowing there are two of us...~

I didn't hear any unfamiliar footsteps the entire way Subin took me.

The stalker who had been following me so persistently didn't show up either.

I was able to go home with peace of mind.

I thought so...


"Why are you coming now?"


김여주
..!?


김여주
..uh, why are you here?


최연준
...


최연준
I've been waiting for you, Miss Yeoju.


김여주
...yes?


최연준
The person who said he would come around 7 o'clock showed no signs of coming even after 8 o'clock.

In the dim darkness, with only one streetlight flickering, Yeonjun's expression was dark.

For some reason, it looks uncomfortable

I have a feeling it's because of me



김여주
haha..


김여주
Sorry, the consultation took so long...


최연준
...ah,


최연준
Was that so?


김여주
I'm really sorry..


김여주
Have you eaten dinner?


최연준
...no


최연준
The heroine didn't come, so I just waited.


김여주
yes??


김여주
no..


김여주
Just eat first... why...


최연준
We decided to eat together


김여주
...sorry,,


김여주
Have you been waiting long?


최연준
...okay


최연준
You must be tired today. Don't stand on the road. Come in.


김여주
...yes,,




"Meow..~"


김여주
Nurungji, how have you been?


누룽지
Ae~ong

As I entered the house, the first thing that greeted me was scorched rice.

Rubbing its body against your leg and wagging its tail



김여주
lol


김여주
You're so cute


김여주
Have you eaten the nurungji rice?


최연준
I emptied one can.


김여주
Oh, really?


누룽지
Meow-


김여주
lol


김여주
Oh my, that's great~

I patted Nurungji's butt.


누룽지
Grrrrr...~

I like the Nureungji, so I turned my stomach over.



최연준
You didn't eat dinner, did you?


김여주
Oh, yes


최연준
Just wait a moment


최연준
I'll prepare it for you


김여주
Oh, that's not necessary...


Drumroll rumbling...



김여주
...


최연준
...


김여주
Mmm, it's delicious..!!


최연준
I boiled the leftover curry from yesterday.


김여주
Ah..haha;


최연준
...


김여주
...

Yeoju watched Yeonjun's expression.

Somehow I haven't been able to speak since earlier

You don't look very happy right now.



김여주
...

Is it because I'm late?

I'm fidgeting because it seems like the reason he, who used to ask so many questions, kept his mouth shut was because of me.



김여주
What did you do all day today?


김여주
You must have been bored just staying at home...


최연준
Time flies when you do laundry, clean, and prepare scorched rice.


최연준
But I guess it's hard to eat dinner

The Fed gave a silent look.


김여주
...hahaha,,


김여주
I'm sorry, I had an urgent patient today.


김여주
From now on, if I'm late, I'll eat dinner first.


최연준
...I ate breakfast and lunch alone


최연준
Do you eat dinner alone too..?


김여주
yes..?


최연준
Why is it so hard to see your husband's face?


김여주
That...that's...


최연준
...


최연준
I don't know how you lived with me before,


최연준
Let's eat dinner together


김여주
..to?


최연준
answer


김여주
Oh, yes!

This somehow...

I feel like I've lost the initiative...

...

..

.


"Did you wash it?"



김여주
Yes, Mr. Yeonjun, are you still not asleep?


최연준
How do I sleep without my wife in bed?

Yeonjun lay on the bed, patting the spot next to him as if to beckon him over, nodding his head.


김여주
...

Now I'm lying down naturally..


dump.-

The female protagonist walked over to the bed and got under the blanket that Yeonjun had rolled up.

Prison.

Yeonjun covered Yeoju with a blanket and looked at her intently.


김여주
...


김여주
...Why are you staring so intently?


김여주
...my face is going to be pierced,,


최연준
I'm afraid I'll forget my wife's face.


김여주
?


최연준
I only saw you this morning


최연준
Even that is only the back view in front of the entrance


김여주
...


김여주
...Are you giving me a hint?


최연준
My wife seems to be quick-witted.


김여주
...Ugh,,

The world looks so cool, but the aftermath is no joke...



김여주
Anyway...


김여주
good night

After saying that, Yeoju turned her back on Yeonjun and lay down.

Because I didn't have the confidence to fall asleep while enduring that burdensome gaze.



최연준
...


최연준
Is this something you did on purpose?


김여주
What is it?


최연준
I said I wanted to see your face.

I could intuitively feel that the Fed's voice had grown colder.

Whoosh.-


김여주
Ahaha..ㅎ


김여주
Feel free to watch~* haha~*

The female protagonist turned towards Yeonjun again.

It seemed like I was seeing signs of the killer I knew for the first time...

Is it true that human nature doesn't change?

At this point, isn't it almost hypochondria?



최연준
'Snickers'


최연준
is it so


최연준
I hate having to say it twice

Only then did the Fed smile, as if satisfied.

That smile is so sweet it's almost creepy.


김여주
haha.

haha..

Seriously, if I remember that again, I'm screwed...

Please don't come back...

...
