His dirty point

11:08 PM
It's 11:08 now, and when I come to, I'm in the same space as that guy.
When I handed Jeon Jungkook a cup of warm barley tea, he avoided my eyes and held the cup of barley tea in his hand.
When the scent of barley tea fills your mouth,
전 정 국
But you know, did you miss me?
김 현
Keuhup-! Ugh..
What Jeon Jungkook said left me quite flustered.
Jeon Jungkook waited for me in the waiting room and asked me once more.
전 정 국
Really, did you miss me?
김 현
Ahem... No? That was something I said in the heat of the moment.
"What the hell are you talking about in the heat of the moment? I missed you so much!! But you still have pride. You tried your best to pretend not to know my feelings."
전 정 국
I missed you.
I was quite embarrassed and annoyed. He left, shaking my heart, and then he said he missed me?
I'm so touched I'm about to cry.
전 정 국
At that time, I was so suddenly sent abroad to study that I couldn't say anything. I'm sorry.
전 정 국
After that, I came to Korea and kept looking for you-
김 현
Stop it, you're already a passing person in my memory.
김 현
From now on, let's just be neighbors. Please. Just a few days ago, we were doing fine without each other.
김 현
We were just that kind of existence to each other. I don't know what I'm like in your memories, but don't romanticize the past.
When I finished speaking, there was only silence.
전 정 국
Can't you just listen to me once?
This will weaken my heart.
My heart, which had been held tighter because of you, is crumbling because of you. I'm losing to you again.
김 현
..say.
전 정 국
That day, my dad got drunk and killed my mom.
김 현
what..?
전 정 국
Actually, my father was an alcoholic. He got drunk and, in a fit of rage for no reason, killed my mother.
전 정 국
That scared me so much, I searched the whole house and found two bankbooks. The ones my mom used to save money for my college tuition.
전 정 국
As soon as I found the bankbook, I called my grandfather and went to New Zealand. He was the only person who knew about the whole situation.
김 현
So... the reason you went abroad to study...
전 정 국
Haha... To be exact, it wasn't studying abroad, it was running away. I was so scared that day, I couldn't even tell you, so I left.
김 현
Then you should've at least contacted me, you idiot! I didn't even realize that and lived my whole life resenting it...
전 정 국
I was hoping to clear up this misunderstanding, and I'm glad it did.
전 정 국
I hope it gets resolved now.
That guy was laughing so hard he couldn't believe what was going on. I'm so sorry, I could die.
I don't know if he knows what's inside. Anyway, it's clear that he was a harmless guy, then and now.
김 현
Actually, I lied when I said I didn't want to see you earlier.
전 정 국
Thank goodness I'm not the only one who missed you.
I felt like these conversations were the present us speaking to the past us.
Hyuna, don't hate Jungkook so much. He didn't abandon you.
Jeon Jungkook. Kim Hyun, don't miss me too much. We'll meet again, so...
"Don't miss each other."
