I always support you
Throw Cider! (3)



알렉스
...........

When there was no answer, Jeongguk sighed and said.


정국
....Is your girlfriend okay?


알렉스
...!

Alex raised his head in surprise.


정국
What's the situation now?


알렉스
I don't know either.


알렉스
But... it might not be safe.



정국
Seok-ju, you were the one who told me not to kill him, right?


알렉스
............

Alex didn't deny it.

The female protagonist, who had not known about these circumstances, felt grateful to Alex all over again.


정국
Yeoju too... tried to find out information in the most gentlemanly way possible, right?

Alex nodded quietly.

Jungkook stared intently into Alex's eyes for a long time, then finally spoke as if he had made up his mind.


정국
...........are you doing it?


정국
regret.

Seok-ju, Yeo-ju, and Alex's eyes all widened.


정국
Girlfriend... You can't hear me either, right..?


정국
So... maybe you didn't regret it more?

Alex's head dropped again, and Seok-ju's face darkened slightly.

Nevertheless, Jeongguk continued to speak stubbornly.


정국
You know, I've watched people who can't hear.


정국
How uncomfortable and difficult it is.

For some reason, Yeoju's heart also began to ache.


여주
"...I know Alex's actions can't all be forgiven, but I hope he can return to his girlfriend soon."

.......

There was silence, and each person maintained a different posture, deep in thought.

Some people bow their heads, some look at the ceiling, or lean against the wall.


알렉스
......................... did, a lot.


알렉스
I regret it a lot.


알렉스
... I am...


알렉스
For me... Lee Seok-ju...


알렉스
He was a valuable colleague...


알렉스
He was the only colleague I could talk to...


알렉스
Why... why did Lee Seok-ju become the target?


정국
"but..."


정국
"If I were to threaten the female protagonist, wouldn't I be able to harm even my closest colleagues?"


석주
I'm fine.

Seok-ju opened his mouth.

Jungkook and Yeoju turned their heads in Seokju's direction in surprise, but Alex just remained indifferent.


석주
You said you wouldn't ask for forgiveness either, right?


석주
Two years ago.

And so, a few more minutes of silence passed.


알렉스
Just make sure you're safe from TH... for me.


여주
"Are you talking about your girlfriend's safety..."


여주
"But... if we compromise, isn't there a chance it'll end with a suspended sentence?"


석주
There's no need for that.


석주
I won't let you go to prison, at least.

At that moment, Detective Seo came in and closed the door.

서 형사
Oh, have you seen the agreement so far?


정국
Yes, I think so.

Detective Seo listened carefully to the terms of the agreement, and the court also respected the agreement.


정국
Sigh, now I can finally breathe and live.

Jeongguk breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Jeongguk began to feel pain in his ribs, which he had forgotten about.



정국
Ugh..


여주
Hey, are you okay?

Only then did the heroine realize the bandage wrapped around her arm.


석주
Ugh... You two should eat and go straight to the hospital.


석주
This time, you really need to work hard to recover. Especially since Yeoju doesn't have much time left before she goes abroad to study.


여주
Ah... I see...

Study abroad.

That one word made the atmosphere a little gloomy.
