[Contest 2] Prehistoric Romance

Episode 6: Operation Begins

여주

"...Are you serious?"

To Jinyoung, it was a truly absurd suggestion. Siblings suggesting they kill their family together made him feel like this was a truly unusual family.

When Yeo-ju asked Jin-yeong to talk to her for a moment, he seemed worried about her and left the house.

Yeo-ju looked at Ji-hoon carefully and spoke without a moment's hesitation.

여주

"Yeah, what exactly do you want me to do? I'm already fed up with it."

지훈

"You don't have to worry about that. I was just suggesting that you cooperate."

After thinking back on Ji-Hoon's words, he asked.

여주

"But if you want to become the chieftain... what benefit do I get?"

지훈

"You will gain freedom. You will be free from the interference your father has created."

지훈

"And then either marry that guy or not."

A moment of silence passed. Yeoju, who had previously abhorred marriage, never imagined she would now desire it. She answered Jihoon.

여주

"...I'll accept your offer. But, one more thing."

여주

"While we're at it, let's bring Mom and tell her the plan. She'll be happy."

Ji-hoon seemed to dislike Yeo-ju's words, but soon gave his consent and sat down on the bed where Yeo-ju was sitting.

지훈

"Yes, my father and I aren't related by blood, but he had a hard time giving birth to us. But why are you suddenly bringing that up?"

여주

"What if we were trying to find out if we were family?"

They looked at each other and smiled like siblings, as if they were siblings after a long time. It had been a long time since they'd laughed like this, but the reason for their reunion wasn't particularly pleasant.

Then, as Jinyoung came into Jihoon's eyes while he was smiling at Yeoju, he added.

지훈

"Then things will probably get bigger than I thought, and I might not be able to see that hyung anymore. Is that okay?"

Then, as if they were brothers, he patted Ji-Hoon on the shoulder and grabbed him, then answered.

여주

"Hey, it's nice that my younger brother takes care of me. Don't worry. After this is over, I'll just get married and be chosen."

지훈

"Just in case, don't explain the plan, just tell her that I might not see her for a few days. You can propose while you're at it."

여주

"Wait. Now Jinyoung will call you brother-in-law."

지훈

"Ha, you haven't even told me the exact plan yet?"

"Is that my part-time job?" With those words, Yeo-ju met Jin-young's eyes and left his house. When she came out, Jin-young, who she'd assumed would be there, was nowhere to be seen.

The heroine seemed to think for a moment, then decided to go find Jinyoung herself, confident that he would be there.

여주

"As expected, you were here."

Jinyoung, who was crouching in the garden, inspecting the plants, turned around when he heard Yeoju's voice. When Yeoju spoke, he ran over and hugged her.

배진영

"...I was really worried. If you keep getting hurt like this..."

여주

"Phew, don't cry. I'm here with you right now."

When the heroine wiped at Jinyoung's eyes, telling him not to cry, a tear fell. Unaware that he was crying, he quickly tried to hide it.

But realizing that it was useless, he decided to look at the heroine with moist eyes.

여주

"...I had no choice but to continue seeing you. I had to help my little brother."

배진영

"Then father..."

When Jinyoung timidly asked for the truth, he answered with considerable embarrassment. But he hoped that she would understand his situation and his feelings.

여주

"Of course it may seem cruel to you, but still..."

He sat down again without even listening to the female protagonist's words. When the female protagonist, having calmed down a bit, looked at him, Jinyoung smiled and said.

배진영

"Okay, so you can keep seeing me?"

When the female protagonist nodded quietly, he grabbed her arms and looked at her.

배진영

"...I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. I can't help you in this situation, but..."

배진영

"Thank you for liking me like this."

Jinyoung stroked Yeoju's cheek. Her cheek flushed, but they stopped teasing him and focused on each other's feelings.

Yeo-ju confessed to Jin-young what Ji-hoon had said to her.

여주

"...We might not see each other for a long time. And I'm not even sure if this will work out. Still,

여주

"I had to do it for everyone... So please wait for me, no matter how long."

배진영

"By then, they'll all be grown up. Look, they've already grown this much."

I turned my gaze to where Jinyoung had pointed, and saw sprouts sprouting where we had planted seeds together the previous time. As if to explain their feelings.

As the female protagonist looked at the sprouting buds, Jinyoung moved closer to her, hugged her from behind, buried his face in her shoulder, and smelled her fragrance.

Somehow, it had a scent that made me miss it.

As Jinyoung hugged her from behind, she turned to look at him. This time, Yeoju was the first to kiss Jinyoung. She carefully snuggled into his arms.

We took each other's breath in, savoring each other's scent deeply. Tears welled up in my eyes at the sad thought that this happiness would be our last.

Tears flowed from the corners of their eyes as they locked lips. They flowed down from the corners of their eyes, then mixed together at the corners of their lips where they had touched.

If this is over and I am free, if the fruits of our loving feelings finally come to fruition—

여주

"Marry me then."

In the end, these words remained inside me and were not conveyed to him.

Tears, which might now belong to someone else, flowed down my neck.

지훈

"Did you say goodbye?"

여주

"Oh. Don't worry and just go quickly."

Anyone could tell she came here to hug and cry. Ji-hoon looked at Yeo-ju, who had returned without even wiping her tears, and then calmly walked away.

"Are you saying you won't see each other until the very end? You're such a vicious person, you know?" Seeing them not sticking together even as they parted ways, he seemed a little worried and asked the female protagonist.

지훈

"Is it okay if we don't see each other at the end?"

여주

"It's okay, it'll be better that way. If you leave regrets, you won't be able to do anything."

I quite like that venomous spirit. Yeo-ju followed Ji-hoon. As they left Jin-young's house and headed out of the forest, Yeo-ju finally looked back.

Ji-hoon vowed not to make Yeo-ju or his wife regret their choice. Well, he had nothing to lose even if he hadn't gone this far.

지훈

"First, I'll plan a plan and then go pick up my mother."

Now, let's begin the operation.
