Even if you are bitten into a tiger's den, you will survive if you keep your wits about you.
An unexpected outing



์ ์ดํ
let's go


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Where?

As the female lead entered the room after finishing breakfast...

J-Hope, who was waiting in the female lead's room, reached out his hand.


์ ์ดํ
.....You'll know when you go.

Speak while subtly avoiding the female lead's gaze...


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
...That's suspicious.

The female lead, who immediately caught on, suddenly approached J-Hope.

And at the same time, J-Hope flinched as if surprised


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Where are you going that you're avoiding my gaze?

As the female lead looked up at J-Hope with a suspicious gaze...

J-Hope, rolling his eyes here and there...


์ ์ดํ
....You'll know once you go there.

Saying that, he quickly picked up the female lead and...


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
.....?????

Before the female lead could even say anything...

The two disappeared.

and....



์ ๊ตญ
......?

At the same time, Jungkook entered the room and stared blankly at where the two had disappeared.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
H-here is...

As J-Hope carefully lowered the female lead...

The female lead looked around with a look of disbelief.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
....my house

That is correct.

This was the house where the female protagonist lived.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
.....How did you.... get here.....

As the female lead looked at J-Hope with trembling eyes...

J-Hope quietly gazed at the female lead like that, then...



์ ์ดํ
....I thought you might want to come at least once....

He gives the female lead a subtle smile.

The female lead stared blankly at J-Hope, who was smiling...

Suddenly

He immediately fell into J-Hope's arms.

J-Hope also tightly embraced the female lead in his arms.


์ ์ดํ
....You're expressing your gratitude a bit too intensely?

As J-Hope spoke in a voice tinged with laughter...


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
....I had no choice but to do it this way...

Yeoju buried her face in J-Hope's arms and muttered.


์ ์ดํ
....I'm sorry for bringing you here so late

As J-Hope gently stroked the female lead's head and whispered softly...

The female lead, who had been shaking her head immediately, opened her mouth.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
....Thank you for taking me home, J-Hope.

Let's have the female lead look up at J-Hope now, not with trembling eyes, but with sparkling eyes...



์ ์ดํ
...She's so cute...

As J-Hope whispered while lightly kissing the female lead's lips with a sweet smile....


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
....Does this work?

J-Hope, whose eyes widened for a moment at the bold words of the female lead...

Smiling faintly as if only then realizing the meaning...

He pulled the female lead closer to him.



์ ์ดํ
...Is this trying to seduce me?

As J-Hope grinned and stroked Yeoju's cheek...

Even the female lead, who was flinching at J-Hope's touch...

I wrapped my arms around J-Hope's waist.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
....Then what are you going to do about it?

J-Hope, who smirked at the female lead's words...


์ ์ดํ
....I guess I should just follow my instincts.

And then, he began to slowly approach the female lead's lips.

As I slowly closed my eyes and was about to get fully absorbed in the atmosphere...

beep

Beep-beep

Beep-beep.....

The sound of the door lock began to be heard.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
.....!!!! No way, Mom...!!!

The female lead looked around for a place to hide with very surprised eyes...

He quickly grabbed J-Hope's wrist and went into what used to be his room.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
after....

It was really a hair's breadth away.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
I...I almost got caught...

As the female lead looked up at J-Hope with a very surprised look on her face...


์ ์ดํ
Is it really necessary to hide?

J-Hope looked down at her with a calm face, showing no sign of surprise at all.

At this, the female lead whispered softly with a very flustered look on her face.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
To my mom, who doesn't remember me... I look like a thief..!!

It was J-Hope who nodded as if he finally understood at the female lead's small whisper.


์ ์ดํ
I had forgotten that I...

Just as J-Hope was about to say something...

The sound of Yeoju's mother's footsteps, indicating she was coming to her room, reached Yeoju's ears, who had keen hearing.

So I quickly grabbed J-Hope's wrist again and went into the closet together.

thud

Suddenly

Fortunately, the moment the closet door closed, Yeoju's mother came in.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
.......

Yeoju covered J-Hope's mouth as he was about to say something and gestured for him to be quiet.

J-Hope, who was slightly frowning as if the cramped space was uncomfortable...

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
.....but

I focused on the sound of Yeoju's mother coming from outside.

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
.....I just heard a voice from somewhere.

The female lead is startled for a moment by her mother's words, and...

It was J-Hope who struck a pose as if he were about to teleport at any moment.

however...

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
.....If that is the female lead's voice, then it must be my imagination...

The two people froze in place at the unexpected words.

As the female lead cautiously looked through the gap in the closet door....

What is visible through the gap in the door.....

The appearance of Yeoju's mother....


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
........

As the female protagonist looked at her mother with one hand covering her mouth in disbelief...

J-Hope quietly held her hand tightly.

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
....Our female lead must have met her soulmate, too...? Considering she tried to erase my memories....

Yeoju's mother picked up the picture frame containing Yeoju's photo from the display cabinet and muttered.

and...

The female protagonist's mother's tears falling onto the picture frame one by one...

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
Honey... my Yeoju is doing well, right...? At least my Yeoju... please... let her live with her partner for a long time....

Yeoju's mother muttered as she hugged the picture frame tightly to her chest.

Even to the eyes of the female lead, who had been watching this without missing a single detail...

Before I knew it, tears started to flow.

Watching the back of his mother as she cries...

My heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

As the female lead slowly looked at J-Hope...

J-Hope nods and gestures with his chin for him to go out...


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Is that okay?

As the female lead whispered in a small, tearful voice...


์ ์ดํ
....I told you I remember....

With that one word as the last...

The female lead opened the closet door without hesitation.

Then, at the same time, Yeoju's mother turns around.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
......Uh.....Mom....

As the female lead stood there, her face covered in tears, looking at her mother...

Yeoju's mother, who had been frozen while looking at Yeoju with a very surprised expression...

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
....Ye...Yeojuni? You...are...my...daughter...right?

He approached the female lead with slightly unsteady steps...

He cupped the female lead's cheek with a look of disbelief.

Then, the female lead, who was watching this....


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Uh... Mom...!!!

He immediately hugged the female lead's mother.

Yeoju's mother also hugged Yeoju tightly with trembling hands.

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
So it really is my daughter....

As Yeoju's mother wiped away the teardrops welling up in Yeoju's eyes and spoke...


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
I'm sorry, Mom... It must have been hard for you....

The female lead shed tears again and spoke.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Now that even I... am gone... how... how...

The female lead opened her mouth again without even a moment to wipe away the tears pouring down ceaselessly.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
I was lonely and had a hard time....

As soon as the female lead finished speaking...

Yeoju's mother, who had been looking at her with a surprised face, opened her mouth.

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
Mom... it's enough as long as my daughter is healthy...

In the end, because of what the female lead's mom said....

It was Yeoju hugging Yeoju's mother again.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Mom...

Was it because I cried so much...

dump

The female lead ended up slumping down on the spot.

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
Daughter... stop crying now... you'll hurt your health.

As Yeoju's mother affectionately stroked Yeoju's swollen eyes and spoke...

The female lead nods slightly

As the crying gradually subsided, Yeoju's mother opened her mouth.

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง
....She definitely didn't come alone...right, my daughter?

As Yeoju's mother smiled slightly and looked at Yeoju...


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Yeah... I came with my partner...

The moment the female lead finished speaking....


์ ์ดํ
Hello, I am J-Hope, your daughter's partner.

Before anyone realized it, J-Hope approached the two of them and greeted Yeoju's mother respectfully.

And Yeoju's mother, who was watching J-Hope like that, made an ambiguous expression, and then...

์ฌ์ฃผ ์๋ง

What did they say?
