Even if I cheat, you don't cheat when you sleep.

#11 Trauma

Boohoo._

As soon as I hung up Taehyun's phone, I started the car and headed to the bar.

김여주

...

Choi Yeonjun...

Ha, really..

I think I misjudged you.

I felt so ashamed of myself for feeling sorry for the Fed for a moment.

When was the last time you held on like that?

The passion that burns within people remains unchanged, really.

Boom._

thud._

김여주

?

김여주

what..

김여주

rain?

While I was driving absentmindedly, it started to rain.

The rain, which I thought would just stop falling lightly, gradually grew stronger along with the strong wind.

김여주

...Ha, I didn't bring an umbrella.

김여주

...

I was annoyed by the sudden downpour of rain.

However, the irritation soon had to disappear.

Because of him...

Ding._

김여주

congrat

김여주

Choi Yeonjun..!

김여주

Where is Choi Yeonjun..!?

As soon as I entered the bar, I desperately looked for the Fed.

강태현

?

강태현

Oh, sister..;;

강태현

Did you get rained on?

강태현

My clothes are all wet..

김여주

Taehyun, Choi Yeonjun.

김여주

Where did Choi Yeonjun go..!?

강태현

Oh, Yeonjun-hyung went out earlier..

강태현

He was staring blankly out the window and then suddenly went out alone..?;;

김여주

..you

김여주

..you went out?

강태현

..yes

김여주

...

김여주

...Miss, really...

강태현

???

강태현

Why are you in such a hurry today..;

강태현

If it's Yeonjun hyung...

강태현

You must be home by now

김여주

..under

김여주

Seriously, I wish that were true..

widely._

김여주

I'm going to go now.

I checked to see that the Fed wasn't there and quickly ran out the bar to the door.

But then,

등장인물

Oh, you're the heroine, right?

I heard someone calling me from behind.

김여주

?

한가영

Oh, right?

한가영

It's Yeoju~!

Behind him stood Han Ga-young.

김여주

..Oh, hello

한가영

Why are you in such a hurry?

한가영

Oh my, your clothes are all wet too.

한가영

It's raining a lot outside, right??

김여주

..Oh, yes..

김여주

But... I really have something urgent to do

김여주

Excuse me, can I go first?

한가영

Oh, really?

한가영

Even Yeonjun suddenly left in a hurry.

한가영

Let's meet each other.

김여주

Were you with Choi Yeonjun?

한가영

Yes haha

한가영

Let's drink together~

한가영

..I told you a funny story too haha

김여주

..oh, yes

김여주

Well then, I'll really go now.

김여주

Really... I'm in a hurry...

한가영

Yes, the heroine is doing well too~ㅎㅎ

김여주

..yes, then..!

I nodded to Gayoung and greeted her, then got in my car and drove around to various places where Yeonjun might be, trying to find him.

I wandered around here and there, but I couldn't find the Fed.

And just in case, I headed to Yeonjun's house for the last time.

I'm standing in front of his house right now.

김여주

...

Ding dong._

...

I rang the doorbell dozens of times, but there was no response or sound from inside.

김여주

..

You didn't even come home..?

..ha, where are you

Choi Yeonjun...

Knock knock._

김여주

Hey, Choi Yeonjun!! Are you home?

He knocked loudly on the door and called out to Yeonjun from the doorway.

But, still, there was no response.

김여주

under...

And you're not even answering the phone...

...really,

...Really, are you okay?

김여주

..Ah, this won't work.

Let's go in first.

Beep beep beep._

I pressed the password for the Yeonjun house in a hurry.

Crunch._

김여주

..Yeah..It's open!

What, you didn't even change your password..?

The password was the same as when I moved into this house with Yeonjun.

Clank

김여주

Hey! Choi Yeonjun..!!?

As soon as I came in, I walked around the living room and called out to Yeonjun desperately.

But, there was still no response and only silence filled the air.

The living room was a mess, with things strewn about.

김여주

...

And there were wet footprints on the floor.

I saw it and followed the footsteps into the room.

Iron...ugh.._

김여주

..Choi Yeonjun!?

최연준

...

김여주

...

김여주

Ah, haa......

김여주

I was here.....

dump._

I felt relieved when I saw Yeonjun in the room, and before I knew it, I collapsed on the spot.

김여주

.....

김여주

.....Hey, if you're at home, you should say you're there.

김여주

Why, aren't you talking...!!

최연준

...female

최연준

...Hey, heroine..!?

Yeonjun, who was crouching in the corner, turned his head and saw me behind him. He then ran towards me in a panic.

Wow._

And then he hugged me tightly.

최연준

..

최연준

..why now

김여주

...

최연준

why...

최연준

Why are you coming now.........

김여주

..

Yeonjun spread his arms wide and hugged me, his clasped hands shaking.

Not only hands, but also arms, shoulders, etc.

I was shaking so much that there was no place that wasn't shaking.

최연준

...I thought you weren't coming

김여주

Yeah, sorry..

최연준

...is...by my side...

최연준

...continue

최연준

...keep going..

Yeonjun opened his mouth with difficulty, exhaling a cold breath along with his trembling body.

김여주

Yeah, I'm here.

김여주

don't worry

최연준

...

Kuk.._

The Fed hugged me tighter.

The force was so strong that my shoulders, which were wrapped around me, felt tingling.

So we hugged for a few minutes.

Keep doing that until the Fed calms down.

김여주

Are you okay now?

최연준

...

최연준

...huh

김여주

Well then, will you let me go now..?

최연준

...no

김여주

...

김여주

Your clothes are wet

김여주

If you keep doing this, you'll catch a cold.

김여주

Let's take off our clothes and change them quickly.

김여주

huh?

I gently coaxed the Fed.

최연준

...no,

최연준

...No, just stay like this a little longer..

최연준

...No, just stay a little longer.

Yeonjun continued to hug me tightly with a desperate voice.

김여주

..okay,

김여주

..Okay, then

After hearing Yeonjun's words, I patted his back and hugged him.

Ugh..

Swish..swoosh.._

김여주

are you okay..

김여주

It will pass soon..

김여주

It's okay... It's okay...

최연준

...

김여주

...I'm here, Yeonjun

최연준

...huh

Choi Yeonjun, you become so weak when it rains

I always hugged you like that today..

Always like this...

It's something that's been happening again and again since then

He couldn't sleep because he was scared by the sound of rain, and he came to me and hugged me, trembling at the sound of thunder.

Whenever it rains, I always comfort you as I watch you having fun.

And then I cried inwardly, because every time I saw you like that, my heart ached as if it was going to break.

I wish I had been sick instead.

I wish I had suffered instead.

It was just a wish...

It's already been 6 years since that happened...

Until now, every rainy day has become your trauma that has caused you pain.

I think it'll be a bit long if I talk about the Fed's past now, so I'll put it in the next episode.

The next episode will unfold from Choi Yeonjun's perspective in the past.

From here, it can get deeper...

Please note..

Okay, that's it
