I hope you are unhappy.
38. I hope you are unhappy.
신주연
Yes? What do you mean? I'm sure they said back then that everything would be fine with just surgery!!
The reason Jooyeon was so excited was because Seowoo's recent examination revealed that the tumor had recurred.
"We actually thought that was the case, but after a recent re-examination, it seems like it has relapsed."
This also seemed to be a source of confusion for the doctor.
신주연
So do I have to have surgery again?
"Yes, I guess... that's how it should be."
신주연
(Mumbling) Huh... I'm going crazy.
"I think it would be best to have the surgery as soon as possible."
신주연
Sigh… How did it come back to being about money again?
신주연
Shin Joo-yeon, your life is really… …
Instead of looking back on my life, I need money urgently, so I take out my phone and text my boss.
Sir, I have a role to play. Could you possibly pay me this month's salary a little early?
A few minutes later, a notification popped up on my phone, and I saw a text from the boss who sent me the money. He sent me a text saying thank you so much, and then another text from the boss saying he couldn't give me the money for various reasons.
신주연
Huh.. you bastard..
신주연
Sigh... I've gathered some, but... it's still not enough...
When I was wondering where I could get money, I saw the name 'Park Jimin' in the contact information.
신주연
… … Since that day, I haven’t been able to see your face properly at home.
I stared at 'Park Jimin' and then without thinking, I pressed the call button and the call kept ringing so I decided not to answer and was about to hang up when I heard Jimin's voice.
박지민
📞ㅡ Hello.
신주연
📞ㅡI'm the main character.
박지민
📞ㅡ I know. What are you calling about?
신주연
📞ㅡ Well... that's okay over the phone, but should we meet up?
박지민
📞ㅡ I'm busy right now, so would you like to come to the office? Or can we talk at home later?
신주연
📞ㅡ … I’ll go to work.
Ttuk_
"Sir, a guest has arrived."
박지민
Tell them to come in.
"yes."
The door opens and Jooyeon comes in.
신주연
The company is good..
박지민
Just sit down for a moment. Let's just do this and talk.
신주연
Take your time. I have plenty of time.
Jimin doesn't even answer, just focusing on his work. Juyeon, seeing this concentration, stares intently at Jimin.
신주연
'Looking at how you work, you're quite... human.'
A few minutes later, Jimin reports to work and sits down in front of Jooyeon.
박지민
what's the matter?
신주연
Ah.. I just got the results from my mom's last test at the hospital today.. and it said it relapsed.. and she needs surgery right away..
박지민
So you want to borrow some money?
신주연
Uh..? Uh.. I'm sorry, I don't have any money.
신주연
I'll really pay you back later. With interest included.
박지민
… … When will you pay it all back?
신주연
uh?
박지민
You want to pay back that 80 million won you owed me last time? How can you possibly pay it back? You'll never be able to do it again. Haha.
신주연
……
I expected it, but it hurts more than I imagined.
박지민
You must hate my answer.
신주연
What do you mean you're lending me money then?
박지민
I didn't know anything at the time, but as I worked at the company, I realized that people invest in things with higher investment value.
신주연
…does that mean I’m not worth investing in?
박지민
Yeah, you know that too.
신주연
……
박지민
Your business is finished. Now, go out.
As Jimin tries to get up, Jooyeon makes a bombshell statement.
신주연
Let's do it. What we couldn't do last time.
박지민
what?
"Let's do what we couldn't do last time."
"The next step after kissing."
박지민
……
Jimin, who received the lead role's proposal, is speechless as if time has stopped.
신주연
Why- You're right, I don't have anything. But the only thing I have is this body.
박지민
Are you serious about what you're saying?
신주연
Well, seriously. The decision is yours. Do you want to take the next step tonight? Or not?
Actually, Jooyeon is just a guy who's tried it once. No matter what Jimin chooses, it'll be the same for him.
박지민
…okay.
신주연
Surprise) Huh?
"Why are you so surprised? Let's do the next step."
"Yamjeon is waiting for you at home today, Jooyeon. Haha."
