If I could carve your scent
Episode 19: I don't think I can stand this.



Jimin and Yeoju accidentally made eye contact in an unexpected situation.




심여주
.....


심여주
...iced coffee,


She guessed that the reason he was looking at her was because of a patient, so she looked at the chart and then approached Jimin.



심여주
...Smile)) Jihan is your guardian, right?


박지민
Oh, ah..! Yes, yes–....


심여주
Jihan removed this broken one, and the broken part was so big that he had to remove the tooth.


박지민
..Life...is...this...?


심여주
Ah.. haha no, I applied anesthetic ointment and pulled it out. Luckily, it's a baby tooth and not a permanent tooth, so a new tooth will grow in soon.


박지민
Ah... thank you. .. then for now,


심여주
Dulibeon)) Oh, it seems like I'm bleeding right now...


Samhyeon!!!!! ((Odododo


박지민
uh?


심여주
....?


Samhyeon! I had a tooth pulled.... This – Doctor Seongsaengning gave it to me as a gift!!!

Is this it—? Okay, if I just open it... yikes!! Hehehe


박지민
Oh, oh, oh... haha, that's interesting, Jihan pulled this out too? ((smile

Yeah!! I'm going to brag to the kids! I pulled out my tooth early in class.


박지민
Haha, okay, let's do that.


Swish

Swish–


박지민
((I straighten my back that was bent to meet Jihan's eyes



박지민
...Uh, that,.. thank you.


심여주
Oh, no! ..Please be careful not to eat anything hard today, as your gums might have been surprised.


박지민
Yes... haha, oh, then



박지민
Jihan, I need to say hello

.....

Thank you ((bow)


심여주
Besisi)) No, please be careful from now on.

Hehehe, yes!


심여주
....((Mom's smile



박지민
.......


Jimin showed a slight bow to the female protagonist and left the emergency room holding Jihan's hand.

...When their eyes met briefly earlier, she felt a suspicious feeling unintentionally, but... she thought it was just her imagination and let it go.


Still, she felt a little relieved that the doubt was not about the child but about her.




Time passes and evening comes,

Her footsteps across the city began to quickly approach the crosswalk.



심여주
Ugh...! What a pity,


심여주
..No, seriously, can't you wait for that one green light?


As her voice, grumbling about her footsteps that had stopped in their tracks, was gradually drowned out by the passing cars,

She took out her phone as it vibrated in her pocket.





심여주
.....



심여주
- hello?


전정국
- Oh, Miss Yeoju


전정국
- I'm curious how far you've come.



심여주
- Ah, that.. I'm in front of the crosswalk right now..!


심여주
- Then where is Jeongguk?


전정국
- I came by car and just parked and got out.


전정국
- I'll go up first and take a seat. Please come in after saying my name.


전정국
- ..But don't come too quickly. Come slowly. There's plenty of time.



심여주
– Heh, no. Excuse me… roughly 3 minutes? 5 minutes..!


전정국
- Well, anyway, see you later.


심여주
- Hahaha, it's really going to be a while now. I'll be there soon.


Stop

Snap—



심여주
.......

...Let's do well, Sim Yeo-ju!





The female protagonist followed the staff's instructions and went up to the second floor of the restaurant.

After looking around for a while to find a familiar face, I found Jeongguk looking through the menu by the charming window.




Drumroll

Drumroll–



전정국
....? ..Ah, ((I look away from the menu and see the female lead sitting on the chair opposite me.



전정국
Sing)) Are you here?


심여주
Haha. Yes, ... no, how am I supposed to find it when you're covering your face with the menu like that?


전정국
Well, I found it eventually–haha



전정국
Bowing my head towards Yeoju)) Uh... First, I chose some menus that seemed okay – but it seems like there are no set menus here.


심여주
Ah.. yes yes,


심여주
Well, I eat anything, so I'll try something famous.


전정국
Is that so? I don't come here often, so I'm a little inexperienced, but the pasta here has some unique noodles.


심여주
Oh... good! ((nod nod



전정국
....


전정국
...((snickers


전정국
Then I'll order a pasta and a steak. ..and maybe some wine?


심여주
Mr. Jungkook, you brought tea. I think it'll be okay since I'm drinking it alone anyway.


전정국
Yes - oh, then I'll order it like this...


전정국
...



전정국
....Just a moment,



심여주
.....


Jungkook, who was in the middle of ordering, picked up his phone for a moment as it started vibrating and looked at it with a serious expression.

The woman, who thought it was probably an urgent matter and finished ordering instead, looked at him blankly.




전정국
....


전정국
..sorry, let me just take care of this for a moment.


심여주
No, do whatever you want. Haha


전정국
.....he..


..How urgent must one be to compare documents in one's bag,

Fortunately, the situation seemed to have been resolved, and as soon as I put down my phone with a relieved expression, the food arrived.

The two of them ate again while chatting about trivial things.

She took a sip of the tea served as dessert and slowly opened her mouth.




심여주
...So, what are your plans for the perfume-related work from now on...?


전정국
Oh, that. I forgot to tell you about that yesterday.


심여주
....



전정국
Well, I've decided on a topic. Once,


전정국
The framework I am currently envisioning is to add various additives to a single base scent.


전정국
I tried to group them together as similar yet different perfumes.


심여주
Oh... this is so new,


전정국
Haha, lol. Anyway, now I have to work hard to create a base scent.


심여주
....



심여주
..How long will it take...?


전정국
Well... it's an unknown. Actually, I can't give it a precise definition...


전정국
Still, you have to adjust and check the company schedule and do it accordingly.


심여주
....he


심여주
I have a really important role to play.


전정국
Yes, that's right. Thank you very much.


심여주
Hahaha, don't mention it–


심여주
.....




심여주
..It seems like Jungkook really cares about his company.


전정국
Yes..? ..Ah, haha... that's the case, I guess.


심여주
If the CEO of your company is this proactive, I think it will be very motivating for employees to work.


심여주
So I always thought it was... desirable.


전정국
......


전정국
.....Thank you for saying so


심여주
....


At the female protagonist's words, which might have sounded like sincere praise, Jeong-guk smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek.

Haha, I laughed out loud and drank some water. Maybe I was embarrassed?



심여주
.....


심여주
...So! I, too, will become one of those passionate employees.


심여주
I look forward to the synergy effects that will come from that.


심여주
..haha ((smile



전정국
.......


전정국
.......


전정국
....yes, ..thank you





After that, the atmosphere probably remained like that until I couldn't bring myself to refuse his kindness and got into his car.

The heroine thought that although she had nothing to say in the serious atmosphere, she was satisfied that she had said what she wanted to say today.


After a few brief exchanges, the car, which had been silent, sped on and stopped for a moment at a red light.



심여주
......


전정국
....((Driving



심여주
.....

Swish

Swish-



심여주
((I turned my head at the loud noise coming from outside the car window.


전정국
....?




심여주
......?


Yeah, it might be funny, it might be nonsense, but for a moment, my heart sank.


A normal, ordinary fight between a man and a woman.

Why is something projected onto that seemingly ordinary fight, except that it takes place in a slightly deserted place in India?




((A man who is vaguely visible raises his hand.


Clank

Clank–



심여주
....!


심여주
((I quickly unbuckle my seat belt.



전정국
Miss Yeoju!!


심여주
...Huh? ((Whew


전정국
No, there's no need to get out of the car and go there.


전정국
That place has CCTV anyway...


심여주
...


Why is my heart pounding so hard?

Why, for what reason,



심여주
......


심여주
....((Frowns slightly




심여주
...sorry,



심여주
Yeah, that situation will be resolved even if I don't go...


심여주
..Still, if I were in that situation someday, I think I would have desperately needed anyone's help.


전정국
.......



심여주
.......


심여주
.....(I can't stand it this time. I'm sorry.)



심여주
((Open the door of the stopped car and run out


전정국
....Hey...!


전정국
ha....


전정국
.......
