Exists, but does not exist
Episode 40
강여주
Phew..
강여주
good..
강여주
I've finished preparing everything...
강여주
Should I go out soon..?
It's 9:40 at night.
We're meeting at Jeonghan's house at 10 o'clock, so it'll be okay if I leave now.
강여주
It's dark at night so it's a bit scary...
Knock, knock,
Someone was following me from behind, matching my pace.
..I guess it's just my imagination.
But the faster I walked, the faster the sounds following me became.
A chill ran down my spine.
I started running,
The sound of footsteps behind me also ran.
강여주
.....!!!
Tears welled up in my eyes.
???
Sister...!!
강여주
uh..?
This voice...
윤정한
Sister!!!!
It's fixed..
강여주
.. what...!
For a moment, my legs gave out.
윤정한
are you okay..?!
He just collapsed on the road.
강여주
You were surprised..
윤정한
sorry..
윤정한
I didn't mean to surprise you like this...
윤정한
I'm really sorry..
강여주
Okay... it's okay
I got up, dusting off my pants.
And then he gave me a smile.
강여주
But why did you come here?
윤정한
It's dangerous because it's night...
윤정한
I want to go with you...
Jeonghan smiled awkwardly.
강여주
What the heck...
윤정한
There's something delicious at home.
윤정한
Let's go eat quickly!
Jeonghan smiled brightly, grabbed my wrist, and walked ahead of me.
강여주
huh..!
My heart was pounding.
강여주
Excuse me...
I carefully entered Jeonghan's house.
The living room was decorated luxuriously.
강여주
wow-..
윤정한
It's neat, right?
Jeonghan shrugged.
윤정한
I cleaned up a bit because my sister was coming.
강여주
The house is decorated so beautifully.
윤정한
Sit here!
강여주
Oh, yeah
I sat down carefully on Jeonghan's sofa.
윤정한
You can be comfortable..!
강여주
Oh, I see..!
윤정한
Is there anything you want to eat?
강여주
Um... not really...
강여주
I'm not that hungry..!
윤정한
Oh, I see!
윤정한
Then tell me when you go out later
Jeonghan smiled and sat down next to me.
I felt unnecessarily nervous when Jeonghan came into the house.
윤정한
Then shall we watch a movie until 12 o'clock?
강여주
Totally great!
We played a movie that was one hour and forty minutes long.
It was a romance movie.
I felt trembling every time the two main characters had skinship.
My face flushed as I thought about the moment we kissed a year ago.
.
..
...
윤정한
Wow.. that was fun.
강여주
.. I know
In fact, all my attention was focused on Jeonghan, so I couldn't watch the movie properly.
윤정한
There's not much time left until January 1st.
강여주
I know
강여주
already...
윤정한
I'm going to be an adult soon.
Jeonghan met my eyes.
강여주
..!
And then he smiled brightly.
강여주
..all grown up now.
윤정한
What the heck, really, we're only two years apart...
강여주
That's right
I laughed playfully.
As the two chatted, it was already close to 12 o'clock.
There are exactly two minutes left until January 1st.
윤정한
Should we turn on the countdown broadcast?
강여주
good.
The eyes of those waiting for the New Year on TV sparkled.
Everyone was waiting for 12 o'clock.
...
강여주
Do it, countdown.
