Dishonest reporter
| Episode 18 |
Tit ti ti, ti ri rik-
I ran out of the store and came back home.
Kim Taehyung's gaze lingered in my eyes.
If I were really Yeonseo, if I were a very precious friend to Kim Taehyung.
I thought I might have spoken too harshly, as I was the only one who remembered that memory.
김여주
I don't know... I don't know...
김여주
I don't want to do anything.
As I turned over the blanket, my eyes naturally closed.
I can't sleep.
Booooooooong- Booooooong-
김여주
Hmm...
I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating.
As time passed, it became completely dark outside, and I quickly checked my phone.
'Manager Jeon Jungkook.'
The person who called me was my manager.
Since you left earlier, you must have been working alone, unable to even change shifts.
김여주
"hello?"
전정국
"......"
김여주
"Manager?"
I answered the phone right away, but the manager didn't say anything for a while.
I thought I had dialed the wrong number, and was about to hang up when-
전정국
"Where are you?"
I heard the manager's soft voice.
김여주
"Ah... that house."
김여주
"I'm really sorry about today."
김여주
"This will never happen again-"
전정국
"are you okay?"
김여주
"...yes...?"
전정국
"Are you okay, Miss?"
김여주
"Ah... yes... of course I..."
전정국
"Actually, I knew before you, Yeoju."
전정국
"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in advance."
김여주
"...There's nothing for the manager to be sorry about-"
전정국
"Would you like a drink? Want to come out?"
전정국
"I'm always alone, so I can listen to you whenever you want."
김여주
"..."
김여주
"great."
전정국
Who is the man that came out after the heroine came out?
전정국
Is that guy involved in this too?
김여주
Ah... yes...
전정국
Is there anything I can help you with?
김여주
yes...
김여주
I'm grateful that you're listening to my story like this.
전정국
What are you planning to do?
전정국
I have to go to work tomorrow.
김여주
...I have nowhere else to go.
김여주
Here, Albabee is barely able to make a living.
김여주
Even so...
김여주
It would be difficult to work for a mother who abandoned me, right?
전정국
Throw it away...?
전정국
Who? The boss is looking for Yeoju?
김여주
You didn't know...
김여주
Sir, you abandoned me in Canada.
김여주
Now you're pretending to miss me.
전정국
hmm...
전정국
I can't just say it carelessly, but
전정국
I think that's a misunderstanding on your part.
김여주
......
전정국
Mr. President, I really missed you so much.
전정국
Strawberry smoothie was also Yeoju's favorite drink.
전정국
The reason I opened the cafe was to find Yeoju.
전정국
The woman went missing in Canada.
김여주
The manager is the same.
김여주
So, does that mean our grandparents lied?
전정국
Miss Yeoju.
전정국
Miss Yeoju, you're really emotional right now.
전정국
Calm down a bit.
김여주
...Okay.
김여주
I will go to work until I find a part-time job.
The woman left the store in anger.
전정국
...ha...
Jeon Jungkook is really immature.
I called you to comfort me, but you took the boss's side in that situation.
김여주
why...
김여주
Everyone doesn't trust their grandparents.
김여주
To me, it's more than a mother who suddenly appeared,
김여주
My grandparents were much better...
I didn't understand.
Why would my grandparents, who loved and cared for me so much, tell such a lie?
Rather, it's probably the president who's lying.
Even Kim Taehyung was so dissatisfied that even his manager believed the president's words, making me feel like I was going crazy.
김여주
ha-...
It was a small box that I turned my head to, holding back tears.
A box containing all the memories of my grandparents.
I took out the box and opened it after a long time.
I saw the pictures we took together. Tears welled up in my eyes.
김여주
Sigh... Hehehehehe... Hehe...
I was crying and fiddling with the photos.
김여주
...uh...?
The square, hard thing lying at the very bottom.
It was a recorder.
Suddenly, my grandmother's words came to mind.
'If you go to Korea and someone comes looking for you, if something happens in your life, then turn on that recorder.'
I'm careful
I pressed the play button on the recorder.
