Exists, but does not exist
Episode 32



강여주
....!!

A large hand wrapped around my waist.

I flinched.

My heart was beating fast.

My first thought was, what kind of strange person would sexually harass me while there were a lot of people around?

The moment I turned my head to see who was touching my waist,

Jeonghan whispered to me from behind.


윤정한
There are a lot of people, so I'll hold on like this for a moment.


윤정한
If you fall... it won't work...

My tense mind was suddenly relieved.


강여주
.. thank you


윤정한
If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me.

I nodded timidly.

.

..

...


윤정한
Just get off at the next station.

It was like that for about 10 minutes,

When the urge to escape from the subway creeps up

Jeonghan whispered.


강여주
Oh, yeah..!


윤정한
But maybe because it's still morning, there aren't many people.


강여주
..is that so..?

I saw a lot of people walking around here and there.

So, are there more people than this at other times?


윤정한
I've never been to a place like this before.


강여주
.. huh

I smiled awkwardly.


윤정한
The restaurant is nearby, so just trust me and follow me!


강여주
Ah.. yeah..!


윤정한
The pasta here is really delicious.

I followed Jeonghan into the restaurant, hesitantly.

As I entered the restaurant, the smell of cream hit my nose.


강여주
pasta..!


윤정한
Do you like pasta?


강여주
of course

Jeonghan and I sat down.

직원
Welcome~

직원
Please take a look at the menu here and call me when you've decided~


윤정한
thank you.

The two of us stared at the menu.


윤정한
What do you want to eat?


강여주
Um... well...

Carbonara..

Aglio olio...

Vongole pasta..

Ink cream pasta..

There were a lot of delicious-looking menu items.


윤정한
Me... this!

Jeonghan pointed to the carbonara with his finger.


강여주
Then I should eat Aglio Olio.


윤정한
Would you like to have a drink too?


강여주
Good

There were also many types of drinks.


윤정한
Would you like some aid?


강여주
Yeah, I like aid.


강여주
How about some green grape ade?


윤정한
That's totally great!

Jeonghan smiled brightly.


윤정한
Then I'll order!


강여주
okay

직원
Have you chosen your menu?


윤정한
Yes, please give me one Aglio Olio, one Carbonara, and one Grapefruit Ade.

직원
Yes, I understand, thank you!

The staff member headed to the kitchen with the menu.

The kitchen staff began to move busily.


윤정한
so,


강여주
huh?


윤정한
Did you do well on the test?


강여주
..so-so..?


윤정한
Thank you for your hard work


윤정한
It must have been very difficult...


강여주
But I study as myself, not as Kang Yeo-eun.


강여주
It's getting a little better.

Jeonghan flinched a little when he heard the name ‘Kang Yeo-eun.’


윤정한
.. thank god

I guess the pain from losing Yeo-eun hasn't completely healed yet.


강여주
...

I laughed awkwardly.

-Jiying, jiying


강여주
Ah.. a phone call


강여주
.. uh,
