03. His Secret

As soon as the light went out, Jeongguk closed his eyes.

Tears flowed from Jeongguk's eyes.

정호석

...Jungkook, I'll be out.

Hoseok opened the door, thinking it would be better for Jeongguk to be alone right now.

전정국

... See you later.

He answered with a slightly trembling voice.

정호석

...

So Ho-seok went out and Jeong-guk was left alone in the office.

I recalled that day.

5 years ago

전정국

...where is it

In his first year of high school, Jungkook, who had just transferred to a new school, was feeling nervous for some reason.

정여주

Are you a first year student?

전정국

yes...

정여주

Which class?

전정국

Class 7...

정여주

Ah, if you're in class 7, go there and come out~

전정국

thank you...!

The day I first saw her was truly warm.

After finishing his recollection, Jeongguk opened the office door and came out.

전정국

... Ms. Jeong Yeo-ju.

정여주

yes?

전정국

Wait... do you have time?

정여주

Oh...yes

전정국

Then let's go out for a bit, the two of you.

정여주

yes yes!

전정국

...

정여주

I... Chief.

전정국

yes?

정여주

Would you like some coffee?

전정국

Ah... I can't drink coffee well, chocolate latte...

정여주

Really? I'll buy a chocolate latte~

전정국

Oh... I was going to buy it.

정여주

No, I should buy it for you. You gave me directions before...

전정국

Ah... you don't have to do that...

정여주

Come in quickly~

정여주

Um, what should I drink... The manager will probably have a chocolate latte...

박지민

Welcome, would you like to order?

정여주

Yes, first of all, chocolate latte...

정여주

Huh? Park Jimin...?

박지민

...Jeong Yeo-ju?

정여주

Why are you here...

박지민

...Jungkook came too.

전정국

that is...

정여주

? Do you know the director?

박지민

? What are you kidding me?

전정국

...bro, just a moment, I'll call you later.

정여주

? Why is that?

박지민

... right

정여주

What's going on?

박지민

Sorry later.

정여주

uh?

There was a moment of silence.

As if by a twist of fate.
