Don't read my mind, Captain!
Why did you do that..?
'Tiddidididididid' (The alarm sound changed..just..haha That's it..hehe...hehe You said you'd come back on Monday, but you couldn't stand it..as expected of me)
민여주
Ugh....
When I opened my eyes, it was already almost 11 o'clock.
민여주
Hwaaam... oh... my back...
When the heroine turned her head, Jimin was sleeping soundly as if nothing had happened.
박지민
zzz...
민여주
Closing your eyes... isn't it cheating if you're this cute?
Jimin was sleeping with his lips licking, as if he was dreaming about eating something.
민여주
Ah.. I'm going to make a hole like this.. haha I should stop..
민여주
hmm..?
Yeoju tried to get up quietly so as not to wake Jimin, but it seemed difficult to pull Jimin's arm away from her waist, so she didn't get up and just slowly raised her body and leaned against the headboard.
민여주
It's so... quiet...
Sunlight streaming in silently through the gaps in the curtains closed on both sides
And only Jimin's small breathing sound
The hotel room was quiet
The feeling of comfort after a long time made Yeoju feel good.
민여주
How long has it been since it's been this quiet?
민여주
But... Oppa still hasn't woken up...
민여주
(kook kook
The heroine carefully poked Jimin's white cheek with her finger.
민여주
(Tickle tickle haha
I tried to stroke the sharp neckline with my hands,
민여주
Ugh...now...it's not just comfortable, it's so boring...
Jimin didn't wake up and was still sleeping soundly.
민여주
Huh...I'm bored...
Since she couldn't even get up, the heroine had no choice but to turn on the TV.
America is America, so it's full of foreign broadcasts.
민여주
No matter how much...even in America, I feel sick when I have to listen to English from the morning?ㅎ
민여주
None of them are funㅠㅠ
민여주
(Changing channels)....
민여주
....!!!!!!!!?!?!?!??!?
While flipping through the channels, Yeo-ju spotted a familiar face on CNN and was so startled that she almost dropped the remote.
앵커
It's breaking news! Everyone!
앵커
The chairman of JK Group was arrested last night. It was early morning in local time!
민여주
J..Jeon Min-kwon..was caught!??!
앵커
Let's hear the details of the news from a local reporter, Jakson~ (Let's hear the details from local reporter, Jakson~)
앵커
Mr. Jaskon? Tell us what's going on there~ (Mr. Jaskon, please tell us about the local situation~)
기자
Yes. I'm Jakson in Seoul. Korea. Last night, Mr.Joen, the chairman of JK group was arrested by the police (해석 다음장)
(Yes. This is Jakson in Seoul, Korea. Last night, the chairman of JK Group, Jeon Min-kwon, was suddenly arrested.)
앵커
What happened to him? And why was he arrested suddenly?
기자
In fact, he's been in a secret trial in recent months.
기자
There was a charge against him that he killed the chairman of YJ Group and his wife about ten years ago.
기자
There were also many more charges than 18! (It is said that he is also facing more than 18 charges)
앵커
Wow!! That's a big news!!!
민여주
B..I was clearly in charge..No..There was no one else to take charge of it but me, so how on earth did you arrest him right away...
기자
According to local reports, his son Jung Kook prentend to be a witness.
민여주
Wh...what??...Jeon Jungkook...how did he do that...
기자
He has taken medicne from his father which removes particular memories.
The heroine simply couldn't comprehend it. While some memories might return after stopping the medication, it was impossible to completely restore them.
민여주
...What the heck...what happened...
앵커
Really?? Then how could he tesify all the things that Mr.jeon did?? (Really?? Then how on earth could he testify about the former chairman's charges??)
As the heroine stared blankly at the TV for a while, the screen turned to reveal Seol-i and Jeong-guk.
민여주
S..no way!!!!!!
A not-so-good thought crossed Yeoju's mind.
The sharp corners of Jeongguk's eyes visible on the screen.
Eyes that are unfocused but filled with a sense of mission
And two clenched fists.
Even without saying anything, the heroine could feel it
Jeon Jungkook... he spent those few weeks without the female protagonist, torturing himself to the bone... locked in the lab, using all his strength to develop a drug that could counter scopolamine...
I was so obsessed with developing a medicine that I put aside the headaches that were so painful that I would rather have no head.
민여주
oh my god...
The state of affairs seemed so unstable that the first thing that came out of Yeoju's mouth was a worried question about what to do, leaving all the facts aside.
민여주
Ugh...what should I do...sigh...what should I do...
The female protagonist, who had buried her face in her hands and was at a loss, stared blankly for a while before picking up her phone and, after a moment of hesitation, calling Jeongguk.
Doo---doo--
전정국
Hello? Miss Yeoju??
전정국
Are you resting well? You look like you had fun in the photos~
민여주
.......
전정국
...??Hello?. Miss Yeoju!!! What..is going on!?!?
When he heard Jeongguk's voice, the words he had been trying to say felt like they were stuck in his throat. Yeoju couldn't say anything.
전정국
hello??..
민여주
now...
전정국
yes??
민여주
Where are you now?
전정국
Right now?..I'm home~
민여주
You should go to the hospital in that condition. Why are you there..!! Seriously...
전정국
Huh?... B.. A hospital... It's the weekend today~ haha... Are you having so much fun that you forgot it's the weekend?
The overly agitated voice of Jeong-guk, as if trying not to be caught, only made the female protagonist more distressed.
민여주
Ha...don't beat around the bush!!...
민여주
Why did you do that!!?..Why..is that so..
민여주
Why... I didn't even ask you to do it...
전정국
Oh... have you already seen it?...
전정국
Just. Hehe..
민여주
You call that...talking now!?
민여주
Why on earth...why...are you wasting your time on something that's not even your business...what difference will it make if you torture yourself like this?
전정국
....Is there a law in this world that says you have to live only doing your own thing?
민여주
Yeah??.. Ha.. Really.. That's something I have to do..
전정국
Lady, why do you always try to do everything by yourself?
전정국
Sometimes it's okay to get some help.
민여주
Helping...does it really look like helping?
민여주
Pretending to help. Pretending to care. Do you know what's hidden behind that pretentious behavior, and are you telling me to just accept help?
전정국
It's not like there are only people like Jeon Min-kwon and Kang In-ho around me.
전정국
There are a lot of people like Han Seol-ssi, Tae-hyung, and Jimin around Yeo-ju!!
민여주
.....
전정국
I know you were hurt a lot, Yeoju..so I understand that you are being more careful..
전정국
But... will you keep doing that? If you keep pushing away all those feelings that want to help you and hide, then in the end, only the people that Yeo-ju thinks of... will remain... then... what will you do...
전정국
Me...I wanted to help you, Yeoju.
민여주
Just... do it up to there.
The memory of Jungkook saying he liked her came back to Yeoju, making her feel uneasy, and it was even harder to listen to the words Jungkook threw at her.
전정국
..I liked you, Yeoju...
민여주
A..stop..me!!!!
전정국
But!......Can't you understand that it's not necessarily like that?
전정국
Miss Yeoju...you are a valuable person to me...as a person to person...the kind of person you should get to know at least once in your life...
전정국
It's not like we have to love each other to help and care for each other.
민여주
Ugh...ugh...sigh...ugh...
The female protagonist, who had been listening to Jeongguk's words, found herself shedding tears. She felt as if someone was poking a corner of her heart.
전정국
It was partly because I wanted to take responsibility for what my father had done, partly because I felt sorry, and partly because I thought it would be good if Yeo-ju looked at the world with a little less critical eyes.
전정국
It's not just Min Yeo-ju's husband Park Ji-min.
전정국
Don't forget that there's Han Seol who will cherish you as much as Park Jimin. There's me who will help you as much as Park Jimin. There's Kim Taehyung who will worry about you as much as Park Jimin...
민여주
...Ugh...sigh...sob...
전정국
Ah. And.. important thing. In the next life, I'm going to try not to let things like this get in the way of our relationship. Then, I'm going to use this as an excuse to stick right next to Yeoju-ssi... no, Min Yeoju-ssi, so be prepared.
전정국
..have fun for the rest of your time..I think I've held on too long..I'll hang up. Bye.
The phone call ended, and Jeong-guk's words, scattered here and there, finally seemed to sink into Yeo-ju's heart one by one.
민여주
Ugh...sigh...ugh...sob...
For some unknown reason, whether it was because of Jeongguk's words or because the tension eased with relief that everything was resolved, Yeoju's tears just wouldn't stop.
But...even though my head is confused with so many emotions crossing over
Only one thing felt clear
A strange emptiness. The empty space in my heart, always a hole, is now being filled with all sorts of good things...
Maybe the reason the wound didn't heal for a long time was because of me...
