EP.25 The Distance That Grew
[This episode is told from the author's perspective.]
박지민
"It must be around here..."
"You're finally here."
한준호
"jimin park."
박지민
"What are you?"
박지민
"Who are you to kidnap the female protagonist!!"
한준호
"Kidnapping? Phew..."
박지민
"What... why are you laughing?"
한준호
"Yeah, from your perspective, it was us who kidnapped them."
한준호
"I did this after receiving a report."
한준호
"We should just go our separate ways."
박지민
"Wh, what?"
"I've been wondering where you took Yeoju for the past year..."
전정국
"You ran away very well, Park Jimin."
박지민
"F, Jeon Jungkook...!!"
전정국
"Ha, we used to be friends..."
전정국
"It's all because of you that I came this far."
박지민
"Because of me?"
박지민
"And there seems to be some misunderstanding."
전정국
"Be quiet, the bastard who kidnapped Yeoju and ran away a year ago is talking a lot."
박지민
"Kidnapping?"
박지민
"You just wait a moment. If you call Seokjin, he'll be out right away."
전정국
"My brother is here too."
박지민
"what?"
김석진
"...Jimin"
박지민
"Hey, hyung..."
김석진
"sorry..."
김석진
"Jungkook said he would become a police officer and take on this case."
박지민
"...ugh, still"
박지민
"It's not kidnapping!!!"
박지민
"You gave me permission too!"
전정국
"huh?"
박지민
"Hey, hyung..."
김석진
"Ha, Jimin..."
김석진
"That's enough. You've been protecting the heroine well..."
박지민
"Oh, no..."
박지민
"Hyung, you're the same person, aren't you?"
김석진
"Jimin-ah"
박지민
"N, I was taken advantage of..."
김석진
"Jimin, that's not it!!!"
박지민
"What do you mean no!!!"
전정국
"..."
한준호
"Jeon Jungkook, you protect the victim first."
전정국
"...yes."
박지민
"...is it so."
박지민
"I didn't trust you, hyung..."
박지민
"But still, because you're my brother."
김석진
"Jimin..."
김석진
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take advantage of you either."
박지민
"Then it would have been okay to tell Jeongguk the truth then..."
'Rrrr, Rrrr-'
김석진
"J, just wait..."
김석진
"hello-?"
민윤기
"What the heck, you dialed the wrong number."
김석진
"yunki min?"
민윤기
"Tell Park Jimin to just go back."
김석진
"huh?"
민윤기
"Quick-"
박지민
"..."
김석진
"Jimin, you go back first, and I'll explain it to you..."
박지민
"...all right."
'Thump, thump-'
김석진
"...Let's just leave Jimin alone."
김석진
"I just need to find the heroine-"
한준호
"Is that really okay-"
김석진
"Yes, please cancel this investigation."
한준호
"yes-"
한준호
"Everyone returns to each other."
한준호
"jungkook jeon!!"
한준호
"Where did he go..."
전정국
"Haha, cool, uh..."
한준호
"Hey, what's wrong with you!!"
전정국
"Uh, the heroine... Uh, uh..."
한준호
"Jeon Jungkook!! What the hell is going on.."
.
. .
박지민
"Haha, where did it go wrong?"
박지민
"Why did I trust those people?"
박지민
"White? Did something like that even exist in the first place?"
박지민
"No, I don't need it."
박지민
"On the day I get my heroine back, I will stay in a place that no one knows about."
'Rrr, Rrrr-'
박지민
"Hmm? A phone call...?"
박지민
"Yoon Ki-hyung? What's going on?"
민윤기
"Hey kid, take off your tiger mask."
박지민
"Oh, was I too scary?"
민윤기
"Look back, you're probably going crazy with joy-"
박지민
"D, back..?"
Jimin stopped in his tracks and looked back, and behind him was none other than Yoongi, holding the sleeping female protagonist.
박지민
"Uh, uh... hyung?"
민윤기
"You've always had a hard time, and I thought I should do this much for you who has worked so hard."
민윤기
“This time, Seokjin-hyung went a little too far.”
박지민
"...brother, but where am I going"
민윤기
"If you two keep doing this, should I stay with you?"
박지민
"If you do that, I'll be grateful..."
박지민
"but..."
민윤기
"Don't worry, Yeoju. I stole it from Seokjinhyung's lab."
박지민
"yes?"
민윤기
"Seok Jin-hyung's research was already finished a month ago."
박지민
"to?!"
민윤기
"And he kept it a secret until the very end."
민윤기
"I've been suffocating you for a full year."
민윤기
"And finally.."
박지민
"A, stop there-"
민윤기
"Huh, you shouldn't have worn the tiger mask here~"
박지민
"Ugh, don't tease me!"
민윤기
"Let's go, there's a good place."
박지민
"Thank you, bro!"
And they drifted apart from each other at this point in time. The distance was like a traffic light that never changes.
But their trust in each other had already fallen to the bottom of hell due to betrayal and treachery, and there was no one to trust.
I decided to live my life with everything buried in darkness, wondering if white, gray, and black ever existed in the first place.
