Dishonest reporter

| Episode 23 |

김여주

......yes...?

김여주

of course...-

Ding-

김태형

......

As soon as the heroine was about to speak, a ringing sound was heard in her right ear.

I also turned my head at the reaction of the female protagonist who just looked at the guest without saying anything when he came in.

전정국

...!

김태형

...Please give me an Americano.

전정국

...is 4 thousand won.

전정국

Do you want a cash receipt?

김태형

...no.

Kim Taehyung's eyes were on Yeoju.

The heroine just stared blankly into the empty space.

전정국

The Americano you ordered has arrived.

Kim Taehyung, who was sitting, stood up and accepted the glass I gave him.

Kim Taehyung walked very slowly from the counter to the exit, as if asking someone to catch him.

김여주

...customer.

김태형

yes...?

김여주

No...

김태형

......

Kim Tae-hyung looked at the female protagonist who had stopped talking without saying anything and took a sip of coffee.

김태형

It's delicious.

김태형

...I'll come again next time.

Ding-

Coming again next time means I will come to see you again and again.

박지민

Hey hey. You're #1 on the real-time search rankings again!

박지민

Do you know Yuri?

박지민

That person's ideal type is you!!

박지민

Wow... really awesome.

김태형

......Thank you.

박지민

Is that all there is to the reaction?

박지민

It's glass, it's glass!

박지민

She is a person who is considered pretty in our country.

박지민

Don't you feel any emotions?

김태형

...I don't care about that kind of thing.

박지민

Wow... this is really dazzling.

박지민

to be honest...

박지민

Yuri is much better than Kim Yeon-seo...

박지민

Isn't it pretty...

김태형

Oh, that's your standard.

김태형

In my eyes, Yuri and Kim Yeon-seo are the prettiest.

박지민

......

박지민

This is seriously crazy.

김여주

wow...

김여주

This is my first time coming to a house like this.

MMR 회장 부인

What do you mean, this is the house you will be living in soon?

MMR 회장 부인

All your luggage is still in your room.

MMR 회장 부인

I've never moved before.

김여주

ah...

MMR 회장 부인

Your room is at the end of the second floor.

MMR 회장 부인

Take your time and look around.

김여주

yes...!

Clank-

My real room, seen for the first time.

As soon as I entered, I saw pictures taken with Kim Taehyung.

There were hardly any faces of other friends.

All the pictures on the wall were of Kim Taehyung.

Even the photo on the desk was a photo taken with Kim Taehyung.

Dreuk-

I opened the drawer attached to the desk.

Kim Yeon-seo, Class 5, Grade 2, Number 3

'100'

김여주

......?

As soon as I saw the old 100-point test paper, my head started hurting.

And Kim Taehyung's voice rings in my ears.

김태형

"Wow, all white. Kim Yeon-seo is crazy."

김태형

'Are you going to study abroad?'

김여주

ah...

It was fleeting but intense.

Fragments of memories seemed to be floating around in my head.

김여주

Ah... my head.

I didn't want to look for this memory anymore.

My old belongings stirred memories. My head broke out in a cold sweat, and I felt weak to handle these memories.

김여주

I was such a happy person.

In all the photos, I was smiling brightly and happily, more than anyone else.

Thump-

'To Kim Yeon-seo.'

Among the many pieces of paper lying on the desk, a pink piece of stationery fell at my feet.

'I'm Kim Taehyung.'

'Happy fifteenth birthday.'

'You're going to study abroad soon, so I won't be able to see you for a few months.'

'Don't cry because you miss me.'

'You know you can't just throw me away after eating a bunch of foreign food in a few months, right?'

'Well anyway'

'I won't give up on you just because you abandon me.'

'anyway.'

'Have a good time studying abroad'

Don't cause any trouble

'Keep in touch often.'

While you were studying abroad

'I've grown 5cm taller'

'The shoulders will be about 10cm wider.'

Don't not recognize me.

'I'm so cool, you might not recognize me.'

'Even if you don't recognize me, I'm still the same.'

'always'

By your side

Consistently

'I like you'

'taehyoung kim.'

'You said it.'

'I'll answer your confession after I return from my language training.'

'I'm already starting to miss you.'

See you at school tomorrow

'happy birthday.'

- Taehyung.

A tear or two fell onto the letter paper.

Tears just kept flowing from my eyes without me realizing what I was feeling.

Was it because of the guilt of not being able to remember the memories?

Was it the constant emotion towards Kim Taehyung?
