If I could carve your scent

Episode 18: Haven't we seen each other somewhere? In my heart,

Late in the morning, her footsteps seemed hurried as she walked across the deserted street.

No, once with a quick step. Then again with a quicker pace. Then again with a quicker pace.

Is it that I stop unconsciously, or is it that my steps are in sync with the flow of my thoughts?

She was walking slowly as if she was thinking about something, but then she brushed her hair back and started walking again.

Walking to work for the first time in a while!

I didn't have the luxury of spending time on this decision to shake off the trivial thoughts that had been clouding my mind since last night.

...under.....

심여주

Seriously, why is this happening...?

Is it a little regret, a little regret?

In fact, it was an emotion I had replayed countless times last night, as I was returning home on the last, quiet train.

...as expected, it is a feeling of shame that comes from one's own childish delusion.

Today's condition was one that could not be easily ignored.

I thought quietly on the rattling bus.

About my situation that I had forgotten.

....Yeah, if you think about it, this is a really strange case.

The reason why Jeongguk needed me in the first place was for one purpose: perfume.

Perhaps treating me, who is a means to that end, with respect is ultimately part of marketing.

In fact, if you were to give him a priority, his own company would come first.

I was so intoxicated by the useless satisfaction and atmosphere that I didn't know the topic.

Pook

Phew-

심여주

((He bows his head deeply

심여주

....I'm embarrassed......

Sim Yeo-ju,

Were you under the illusion that even a kindergartener wouldn't do it?

Whoosh

Whoosh))

심여주

....

심여주

Let's do our best...! Sim Yeo-ju,

심여주

You're a special employee of that big company. You should be proud of that.

심여주

.....Let's do our best... and become proud employees..

12:45 AM

It's almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

There was a man running through the hospital lobby holding a boy who looked to be about five or six years old...

12:47 AM

간호사/들

—Miss, here’s some coffee.

심여주

Oh, oh, oh my... When will it be mine too... Thank youㅠㅠ

간호사/들

What, lol. But, did you not sleep well today? Your face looks puffy.

심여주

...Ah... a lot... does it look like that? Well, I... did lose some sleep, though.

간호사/들

Oh my... You're still young, so you can't do that. You should get some sleep.

심여주

Haha... I see—

Knock knock knock

Knock knock knock-

,,,oh my,. gasp... ah, here

심여주

박지민

...Doctor, hurry up...

심여주

Ah, ((running in a hurry

심여주

Where, did you come here because you were hurt?...

박지민

Ah, ah- that, that, that kid's tooth is broken...

박지민

..I fell and broke it at kindergarten.... The nearest hospital is here, so..,

심여주

Ahh- what's the baby's name, by any chance?

박지민

My name is Park Ji-han, Ji-han. I'm six years old this year.

심여주

Yes, Jihan. The doctor will be here soon, so please sit over there for a moment.

박지민

....haa..yes,

간호사/들

...Please come over here and fill this out—

박지민

Ah, yes yes yes ((Follow the nurse who came

dump

dump-

박지민

Phew......

Jimin, sitting on a bench provided in one corner of the emergency room, finally caught his breath.

At lunchtime, I was about to head back to work after a quick lunch when I received a call from my younger brother.

..No, my nephew, who is not even as good as gold...! He got hurt at kindergarten.

My brother is close by, so he asked me to take the child to the hospital just once... but there's nothing I can do.

박지민

.......

박지민

.....((I slowly look around the hospital.

박지민

..Oh, but isn't this the hospital...?

박지민

That... reporter

12:56 AM

박지민

......!!!!

박지민

...crazy..!!

You're crazy. You've gone crazy, Park Jimin.

....Oh, I have a meeting at 1 o'clock.

박지민

.....

박지민

((I call Jeongguk urgently

- The other person is currently on the phone.

박지민

Looking around)) No! Why isn't he calling again all of a sudden?

박지민

.......

Jiying

Jiiing-

심여주

심여주

...?

심여주

- ...hello?

전정국

- Oh, you got it quickly. Weren't you busy?

심여주

- ..Uh... That.. A kid just went in to see the doctor.... What's going on with you at this hour, Jeongguk..?

전정국

- Oh, haha, unintentionally. I thought I had some free time. That's right, I called because I had something to ask.

심여주

- Yes, yes, go ahead.

전정국

- Well... the day we originally planned to meet was tomorrow.

전정국

- I suddenly had a business trip scheduled that day, so I was wondering if I could meet you today.

전정국

- Instead, I promised to buy you dinner yesterday, so let's meet at the restaurant...

전정국

- ...Actually, I only have a few things to say today... So, there's no need to prepare or anything...

심여주

– ..Ah, ah! Yes, yes, ah, I'm fine. It doesn't matter, but does that mean we're going to see each other the day after tomorrow and seeing each other today?

전정국

- Yes, are you okay? It's tonight,

심여주

– Sigh)) I said it’s okay. Just send me the address later via text message. I’ll be right over there when I’m done.

전정국

- Ah, you can choose whatever you want from the menu. ...I'll pick a few and send them to you, so you can decide whichever is most convenient for you.

심여주

– You must be busy... Thank you, haha

전정국

- No problem, ... oh well, see you tonight..!

심여주

- Yes, yes, okay. Take care of it.

심여주

.......

Stop

Thump-

After a short call, the female protagonist put her phone in her pocket.

..and,

박지민

......

심여주

.....((Jimin's eyes meet mine as he looks at him

심여주

...Uh, ah..!

Let's just say that the awkward situation that was created unintentionally was just a bonus.
