If I could carve your scent

Episode 17: Because I'm an Important Person

심여주

......

전정국

...?

전정국

..Why? Oh, maybe it's more comfortable at home... Then I can go up now.

심여주

Oh, no...! No, no...

전정국

....?

심여주

....

심여주

I didn't understand what Jeongguk was saying for a moment...

심여주

hehe..

She smiled awkwardly, cleared her throat, and raised the corners of her lips.

...Oh, this is really annoying,

Is there really something impure in my brain that starts with the letter yin and ends with the letter yin?

Even though it was clearly a comment made with me in mind, I guess my thinking process was a bit blocked.

..So, like that, just like that? Like that,..(?) I always understand it that way

심여주

.....

Swish

Swish-

심여주

((I turn my head and look at Jeongguk sitting next to me

..Look at those innocent eyes without any intention

전정국

......?

전정국

((Smile

심여주

....

Are you crazy?

When their eyes met unintentionally, Jeong-guk smiled without thinking and raised the corners of his mouth, and Yeo-ju quickly turned her head away as if she hadn't seen him.

In the awkward atmosphere that had suddenly become awkward, he asked with a sly smile and a straight face like the female protagonist.

전정국

...Then, is it really okay to do it here?

전정국

It's just a conversation anyway,

심여주

...

심여주

Ha, hahahaha, of course..! Well, it's comfortable and good for both of us,

전정국

...he..

전정국

Actually... I couldn't sleep last night because I had some worries.

심여주

.....?

심여주

..worried...?

전정국

yes

전정국

..Well, I have no choice but to run a company... ((Slightly scratches his cheek

심여주

Ah.., I saw it in the article, company..!

전정국

Hahaha, did you even look for the article?

심여주

....Well... back in the day, uh... once...

전정국

lol,

전정국

So I guess I was a little tired. I stayed up all night worrying... and at work today too...

전정국

....

전정국

I went out once and came back, haha

심여주

.....

전정국

...I'm not really that sleepy.. Don't get me wrong...

심여주

...haha I understand, I'm afraid you won't understand that either

전정국

.....he

Funny enough, the conversation flowed smoothly as they looked straight at each other.

Then, she glanced unconsciously at the seat next to her and hesitated for a moment. ..No,

Maybe he couldn't breathe.

..Actually, I remind you more than anyone else that the relationship between you and me is a business one.

How wonderful it would be if that were all I could do. That person's heart is like a sculpture, piece by piece...

He ran his right hand through his hair and then tidied it up as if he was not paying attention.

Then, I frowned at the streetlight that was shining on me without my knowing,

He rests his elbows on the windowsill, leans his head against it, and looks at me listlessly.

심여주

......

전정국

...Why..? Oh, my head is a bit messed up..

심여주

...No..! No, that... The tree outside the window... is really big,

심여주

he..

전정국

((I turn my head and look at the trees(?) outside the window

전정국

It's dark so I can't see clearly?

심여주

....Huh..? Okay, I can see it,

전정국

......

전정국

Rather, look at me. Let's talk.

심여주

...

심여주

yes...?

전정국

lol

전정국

Just kidding, it was so quiet all of a sudden so I was just joking lol

전정국

....Anyway! I just wanted to tell you that if Yeoju had been a little bit later today, I would have really fallen asleep.

전정국

I don't sleep that much... but once I fall asleep, I never wake up, haha

심여주

.......

심여주

I'm sorry... heh..

As if recalling today's events, she suddenly closed her mouth with a faint, empty smile.

..Yeah, it's not like I have to hide it anyway, so I guess I can tell you what happened today.

심여주

......

심여주

...Actually, I wanted to come quickly too.. haha

심여주

I met someone on my way here. .. Oh, haha, who do you think it might be?

전정국

.....

전정국

...Friend..? Classmate..?

심여주

Um... my ex-boyfriend.

전정국

....umm...!

Her words, spoken in a slightly subdued tone as if indifferent, drew an awkward reaction as if she had not expected them at all.

When she asks if he really didn't expect it at all, Jungkook replies that he only thought of her as a friend or colleague at best.

She continued speaking with a smile on her face as he looked slightly surprised.

심여주

Well... as you can vaguely sense, we didn't break up on good terms.

심여주

If I had to say something, it was a one-sided notification... Of course, I was the one who said no, I said no.

전정국

...ah,

전정국

Lady Yeoju, you're a more determined person than I thought. I need to be careful.

심여주

lol

심여주

So... since we met a few years after breaking up, we had a bit of an argument? Or rather... a conflict.

심여주

...I wanted to finish it as quickly as possible, but things didn't go as planned, haha

심여주

...I'm sorry, I was just ignoring you.

전정국

.....

심여주

....?

She was looking at her hands clasped on her lap while talking about something a little personal when she suddenly looked to the side.

...Actually, the atmosphere seems a little more subdued than before,

전정국

.....

전정국

..by any chance, there was no physical violence...or anything like that, was there?

심여주

yes...?

심여주

..hehe, if there's something like that, of course I'll report it to the police...! When is the right time,

전정국

If something like that happens, you can let our company know. We can handle it, too.

심여주

Huh...? Oh, that's it... haha

전정국

Because the heroine is an important person. ((Smile

심여주

......

심여주

...Yes, haha. It feels reassuring when you say it like that.

심여주

Thank you, lol

전정국

....he

A few minutes after that...

I don't even know how time passed. We exchanged trivial stories,

As we were talking like that, I suddenly looked at my watch and saw that it was later than I thought.

I stubbornly refused him who insisted on taking me there and told him to go up and rest, so I got out of the car.

...

Feeling a little dizzy.

..I don't know what that vague feeling was, but...

My head felt dizzy as if I had been hit by something I had never expected.

전정국

I'll take you there. Why bother?

심여주

Haha, no. You said you were tired today... Go get some rest.

심여주

If you bring me here again, it'll just be a hamster wheel. Don't insist and just go in.

전정국

...It's so late... It's night,

심여주

It's not even time for the last train to leave.

심여주

..Oh, the bus is coming soon. I'll go now.

심여주

Haha, I'll contact you when I get there, so don't worry.

전정국

.....

전정국

..I'm so sorry that I only had bad things happen today... I'll buy you a meal next time. I'm sorry.

심여주

Yeah, well, if that's convenient for you.

심여주

....he

심여주

I'll go.

전정국

Go in carefully.

전정국

......,

He followed her with his gaze as she walked with a brisk gait, her eco-bag slung over one shoulder.

...Yes, that's why I established her existence even though I had to lie.

전정국

.....

전정국

....((Leave a message telling the female protagonist to contact you when she arrives

Because she is an important person to our company,

Because he is a person of sufficient value.
