Cinderella disappears at 12 o'clock

The fifth hourglass has begun

홍여주

"Hey, you're lying."

박지훈

"It's true...!!"

Park Ji-hoon looked at me with a suspicious look on his face.

Even if it was just empty words, I was so grateful.

I smiled and got up from my seat. I had had so much to drink that I felt sick, and I felt like I should buy something from the convenience store.

After saying that he would be back soon, he put on his slippers and went out the door.

I ran in a hurry, afraid that I might run into someone I knew, with my disheveled hair and shabby clothes.

Maybe it was because I ran too quickly on the bumpy road.

My foot tripped on a rock jutting out. I lost my balance and fell forward.

홍여주

"Eww...!"

As I was falling forward, praying inwardly that I wouldn't hit my head, someone caught me.

홍여주

"...uh...."

Realizing that I hadn't fallen, I turned around and looked at the person who had caught me.

전정국

"Miss Yeoju..?"

Jeon Jungkook recognized me with my bare face and no makeup on, and he called my name and helped me up.

홍여주

"..thank you.."

...It would have been nice if you hadn't recognized me.

Since I was already caught, I smiled as calmly as I could and repeatedly thanked him. I decided to think about the embarrassment later.

전정국

"It was something I had to do, but anyway, where are you going?"

홍여주

"Uh...can I just go to the convenience store..."

The conversation is getting longer. The longer it is, the longer I'll be like this.

I had a gut feeling that I had to end the conversation quickly, so I racked my brain to figure out how to end it.

And then.

홍여주

"Ah!!! I'm late..!!! Sorry but I have to go first.."

He said something rather unnaturally and then turned around, preparing to run again.

전정국

"Oh, over there."

Jeon Jungkook grabbed my wrist and opened his eyes wide. He wanted to go quickly, but I don't know why, so I forced a smile and turned around again.

전정국

"You'll fall down if you run again. Even if you're late, just walk."

홍여주

"...."

홍여주

"....thank you!!!"

He smiled brightly with genuine concern, nodded in greeting, and walked away.

But in my heart, I've already lost my mind.

....

전정국

"Did you want to leave that much?"

전정국

"I was glad."

아임자까

Me too, I'm happy to see you!!!

전정국

....?

아임자까

...sorry.

포돌이

....(trembling)
