Exists, but does not exist
Episode 38



윤정한
Just one more thing... can I say it?


강여주
..what is it?


윤정한
Could you please wait a moment?


강여주
What are you waiting for?


윤정한
Please wait two years..


윤정한
As an adult, I will confess again.


윤정한
Until then... please wait.

Tears were welling up in Jeonghan's eyes like jewels.


강여주
...


강여주
okay.


윤정한
.. Really..?

The tears that had been welling up flowed down Jeonghan's cheeks.

I nodded silently.


윤정한
I'm going to the same university as my older sister.

Jeonghan made a solemn expression.

I couldn't help but laugh at Jeonghan's serious expression.


강여주
Phew-..


윤정한
What, why are you laughing..!


강여주
.. I don't know, it's just funny

I chuckled.

Jeonghan also smiled faintly.


윤정한
.. thank you.


윤정한
Then I'll go..!


강여주
.. huh

-Drunk,


고하율
What the hell, Kang Yeo-ju!


고하율
What have you been doing~

Ha-Yul clung to me tightly.


강여주
It's nothing..!


고하율
But your ears are really red~?

Ha-Yul whispered while touching my ear.


강여주
..I'll tell you later..!


고하율
I'll look forward to it~

Ha-Yul said with a smile.

.

..

...

... A year and a half has passed since then.

I am still close friends with Ha-Yul and Won-Woo,

Right now we are waiting for our college acceptance results at my house.


고하율
Man... I'm so nervous...


전원우
Me too... I feel like I'm going to die now...


고하율
What if I don't get into the same school as you?


전원우
Hey, that can't be...

actually-,

Ha-Yul and Won-Woo are dating.

They say we supported each other during difficult times or something.


강여주
There... I'm here too...

All three of us applied to the same school.

..and Jeonghan too.

Jeonghan is probably waiting for the results at the PC room with his friends.


고하율
Phew... my heart is pounding so hard...


전원우
.. 1 minute left.

There was tension between us.


강여주

고하율
Wow, everyone go in and check!!

We moved the mouse with trembling hearts.


강여주
Hey!!! I passed....!!!!!


고하율
Crazy, me too...!


전원우
uh..


고하율
What, did I fail?


전원우
hmm..

Wonwoo looked at both of us.


고하율
That's ridiculous..


전원우
You know...


전원우
I passed too!

Wonwoo said with a playful smile.


강여주
Oh, what the...!!


고하율
Wow, all three of us passed!!!


전원우
So, what happened to Jeonghan?


강여주
I just got a call.

My cell phone was vibrating like crazy.

I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeonghan sent a DM saying he passed along with a dancing rabbit emoji.

It was noisy even just looking at the text.


강여주
Hey guys...


고하율
What did Jeonghan say?


강여주
I passed~!!!


고하율
Wow!! Really?!!!

We put our arms around each other and rejoiced.

.

..

...

I checked my college results and chatted with my friends before sending them off.


강여주
Phew... I'm tired

I was having a great time chatting with my friends and all my energy was gone.


강여주
..I guess I should call my dad.

It's been almost a year since I cut ties with my mother.

I started to keep in touch with my father occasionally.

Thump-,

Thump-,,

Thump-,,,

Click,

아버지
-hello?


강여주
father!

아버지
-Yeah, what's going on?


강여주
I... got my college results.

아버지
-..what happened?

It seemed like I couldn't help but care about my university.


강여주
I passed...!

아버지
-...

Father was silent for a long time.


강여주
..Father?

아버지
-......

I could hear my father sobbing quietly over the phone.


강여주
...

A faint smile appeared.

아버지
-Good job.. Good job..

아버지
-Let's go eat something delicious next time.


강여주
.. great

I also shed tears for no reason.

아버지
-I have to hang up now because I have an important meeting to attend to...

아버지
-Congratulations, my lady.


강여주
.. thank you

아버지
-Okay, see you next time.

-Ttuk,


강여주
...

It was refreshing.

Now all that's left is.....
