"I hope today is the last day"

11. Can friendship become love?

He never told me what room number I was in, nor did he tell me which hospital I should go to. But now, here I am. Park Jimin has come to find me.

When I came down from the rooftop and went to the hospital room, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook were nowhere to be found.

And as I was taking a short break, Jimin opened the door to the hospital room and came in, holding a coffee cup in both hands.

He looked at me as I was sitting in the hospital bed, closed the door, and came up to me without saying a word.

한사라

I can't drink coffee.

박지민

It's warm water.

Who would buy coffee for someone with a stomachache? He offered me a cup, a smile on his face as if he were dumbfounded. He even nagged me while we sat down. I knew Sarah, since she drank five cups of coffee a day.

The moment I received the cup, I felt the heat. I opened the lid and saw that it was steaming water. I sniffed and it was... barley tea.

한사라

Thank you, I'll enjoy it.

…

“I hope today is the last day.”

Episode 11: Can Friendship Become Love?

한사라

… You know, there is that.

박지민

If you want to apologize, that's fine.

Oh dear. He knew exactly what I was going to say.

한사라

……still.

박지민

There's nothing to apologize for.

박지민

It was my choice to come to you at your call.

한사라

…….

If it comes out like that, I have nothing more to say.

한사라

On the way here, if I made a mistake…

박지민

… … There is no such thing.

The reply was a little late. My mind was on the line, so I cautiously raised my head. His eyes were lost, lost in their direction. He still couldn't lie, just like he always did.

Whatever mistake I made, whatever I said to you, I didn't want to hear any more. I thought if you found out, I'd feel even more sorry.

박지민

I didn't come here to receive an apology.

박지민

I came to see if it was okay.

한사라

……why,

The silence settled.

한사라

…Can I ask why you went back again?

We're trying our best to be polite to each other so we don't make a mistake... but I don't know why it feels so awkward. Well, it's the first time we've ever used polite language with each other.

I wondered why you, who carried me on your back to the emergency room, who ran to me without hesitation after hearing my call, who worried about my well-being, weren't by my side.

박지민

Because even if there was, there would be no good in it.

If I were the person you see the moment you open your eyes, it's obvious Sarah would be upset, so how could I be? Jimin's unique voice was quite languid.

한사라

But still, don't tell me...

한사라

I almost thanked someone else.

Someone else? He hadn't met my gaze throughout the conversation, but when I mentioned someone else, he looked up and stared at me.

박지민

Who else?

Wow, Hansara is really going crazy. How can she talk about another man in front of her ex-boyfriend so casually… Even her first love. … The reason for the breakup.

It's not just inflammation above, but at this point, it's worth examining the brain as well. What kind of situation is this...?

한사라

… Oh, of course… Nurse…

Huh? After hearing what I said, he burst into laughter. What the hell is he laughing about?

박지민

I've said this before, but I really can't lie.

한사라

… … You’re no pushover either.

박지민

I saw Kim Taehyung in front of the hospital.

Just kill me instead. Haha

전정국

…I know we're not this comfortable.

Taehyung, who had been watching Jeongguk's stern expression, poured a drink into his glass. "So, should we be uncomfortable?"

전정국

At least it's not comfortable.

The angular ice cubes in the glass were instantly submerged in the amber liquid. Jeongguk, who had been spinning the glass, took a sip before speaking again.

전정국

You know me.

Taehyung slowly nodded at those words. He then poured me a drink and said, "Well,

김태형

I guess it's still unrequited love.

It seemed like their relationship hadn't progressed beyond friendship. Referring to Sara. Jungkook stared elsewhere. Taehyung, who had been quietly watching Jungkook, drank his drink one after another.

김태형

How long do you plan on living like this?

전정국

Forever.

Jungkook frowned, trying hard to avoid eye contact as he drank his drink. Taehyung tilted his head, his expression puzzled, and he decided this was the perfect time to say something.

전정국

I told you... I don't want to lose even my friends.

김태형

… how foolish.

Taehyung chuckled and quickly looked away from Jeongguk, then poured another drink into his glass. Meanwhile, Jeongguk's gaze shifted to Taehyung, having heard what Taehyung had said.

전정국

Foolish. Who.

김태형

you.

If you've been watching Hansara longer than I have, you should know by now. At Taehyung's unexpected remark, Jeongguk's tongue curled in his mouth. It was a sign of displeasure.

김태형

Sarah knows that once you make friends with someone, they are nothing more or less than friends.

김태형

From the beginning, he was the type of person who firmly maintained the line between right and wrong.

김태형

You think you'll get along with someone like that? Even if they've been your best friend for 10 years.

"You should've given up on me a long time ago." Taehyung shook his head. Jungkook, watching him, had a look of bewilderment on his face.

Then, his expression softens and he bursts into laughter. He'll laugh in vain for a while, saying nothing. He'll set the glass he was holding down on the table.

전정국

…It wasn’t me who was foolish, it was you.

전정국

From the beginning, Hansa never once thought of you as a friend.

++ (Kim Tae-hyung has no idea that Han Sara has a crush on him)

+++ Ugh. Isn't it already suffocating? The relationship between the four of you... Seriously. Is it just me?🙄
