If I could carve your scent

Episode 16: Just here today

전정국

.......

심여주

....

심여주

...?

Jungkook looks a little bewildered when she confidently says that he is a good driver.

She frowned slightly, looking at him with a curious expression as if asking if there was a problem, while he blinked and said nothing.

심여주

....Oh, if you feel a little... burdened or untrustworthy...

심여주

But driving while drowsy is the most dangerous.... ..and that driver is really good..!

심여주

..

전정국

.......

전정국

....big..

심여주

....?

What happened next was that a laugh suddenly burst out of his mouth.

전정국

Oh, I'm sorry, really

전정국

..I wonder if I'm causing unnecessary trouble to the female protagonist..

전정국

...just,

전정국

I thought it was strange that Yeoju was driving.

심여주

......

Swish

Swish-

When I get sleepy, the world looks beautiful,

The way he leaned his arms on the steering wheel, bowed his head, and smiled with the corners of his eyes arched was as innocent as an innocent child.

전정국

Right, we need to change seats.

전정국

...Please excuse me just this once today. I'm really, really tired...

심여주

Haha, no. I don't play the radio or listen to music while driving, so I'll sleep well.

전정국

Haha... thank you,

After a slightly distracting seat change, the heroine feels a sense of familiarity, yet a bit awkward.

He stopped moving the lever to adjust the driver's seat and sat down in the passenger seat. He noticed his expression and gave him a signal to make himself comfortable.

The black car started off smoothly with her manipulating the gears.

김남준

I disagree.

전정국

.....ah...

김남준

A muse? You never know what risks that might entail.

김남준

Of course, there will be demand from there, but you will also lose out on that.

김남준

You've been doing fine so far. There's a perfume coming out soon, so if it's difficult, take it easy.

전정국

.......

박지민

Ah, if that's what you mean, then I'm against it too.

전정국

Why are you...?!

박지민

It's complicated. Yes, it's so complicated and difficult.

박지민

Mr. CEO, you've only been in Korea for about two months.

박지민

...when you were in a bus accident before and were taken to the hospital

김남준

Ah- at that time,

박지민

.....

박지민

At that time, an entertainment reporter came to the hospital.

전정국

...reporter..?

박지민

Yeah, I see, that's the person who's been chasing you for a long time.

박지민

No, how can an entertainment reporter follow someone whose face has never been seen on the news?

김남준

That must mean there's a lot of interest in that industry. Sometimes, articles are posted trying to figure out your true identity.

김남준

That's why I'm saying it can't be done. Do you want to get caught for nothing and ruin your company's image?

박지민

I hate it when the face of a mysterious figure who has never been revealed is featured prominently in a scandalous article.

박지민

...I don't know if you have an average face...

전정국

.......

김남준

I fully understand that you need a muse to inspire you.

김남준

It's a little early now, huh?

박지민

This isn't an official announcement, is it?

전정국

...No..lol

전정국

I just told my hyungs first. ...Well, they're also the biggest pillars of our company.

박지민

.....

박지민

He said he wanted a bigger picture later. That's why he didn't even show his face.

박지민

..just pay a little more attention, that'll do

전정국

.......

전정국

....huh,

I feel hazy.

I realized once again that life is not something I live alone.

In the end, the guilt that couldn't be hidden and a little bit of resentment came together to create a tangled feeling.

What should I do...? ..What should I say...?

The answer after repeated deliberation is ultimately a lie with a hint of positivity.

...I heard her voice genuinely liking a made-up story that wasn't true.

My already complicated head started to hurt even more.

전정국

......

My body feels tired.

The air is so warm that even my lungs feel at ease.

Something unfamiliar yet comfortable...

......for a moment,

.....side, what?

Swish

Swish-

전정국

((He slowly opens his eyes with a trembling expression

전정국

...Oh, what is this..

심여주

Oh, are you awake?

전정국

....

I remember what the situation was like now_

What time is it now and where am I?

I vaguely see my appearance and what I did_

The female protagonist glanced at him as he sat there dazed, as if his brain was rebooting a little, and then opened her mouth slightly.

심여주

...This is Jungkook's house parking lot. ...The road was blocked, so I couldn't get there quickly. It's been about 10 minutes since I got there...

심여주

are you okay?

전정국

...Uh, uh.. yes? ..ah..... ah yes, yes..

전정국

.....

전정국

...I slept for a long time..?

심여주

....hmm...

심여주

No, not really.. but you must have been very tired. You were sleeping so soundly.. haha ​​I couldn't wake you up..

전정국

.....haha...

I felt like the atmosphere had become much warmer.

....what is the reason for this

전정국

....

전정국

But you drive really well..ㅎ I never woke up once while sleeping

심여주

..ah....

심여주

..haha, I got my driver's license but the only driving I've done is driving an ambulance...

전정국

Oh, ah...

심여주

It's been 5 years without an accident...!

전정국

Oh wow... that's amazing...

심여주

...Aha, haha

전정국

......

Inside the dark car, the conversation we had while sitting side by side was fluid.

Is it because there are only two of us in a confined space?

More than anything, it's the atmosphere inside the car... it's vaguely comfortable.

.....

전정국

.....((This is the scent of the female protagonist...

전정국

....he

I'm finally crazy too,

...I feel more comfortable with the smell that fills the car.

Even I thought it was such an absurd situation that I couldn't help but chuckle.

심여주

......

심여주

....What,..Why are you laughing..

전정국

....?

전정국

Ah, haha

전정국

....Miss Yeoju,

심여주

..yes....?

전정국

Smile)) Shall we just stay here today? Don't bother going up.
