If I could carve your scent
Episode 24: Why are you picking up and putting down my heart?

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down as if water had been poured on it.

The clerk, who was still smiling with her eyes closed, was turning her head to see what was happening.

As if he could see through his feelings, Jeongguk puts down the perfume bottle he had cleaned with his suit shirt on the table.


Even though it looks like this, it's unlikely that an employee working at a perfume shop, especially one of such a famous brand, would know the perfumer.

The clerk, who decided that it was a priority to ask the person standing in front of him what his purpose was, smiled brightly.



필요한역/??
....Then, if you need anything... hehe


전정국
Why did you organize these perfumes like this?


전정국
..well, I know the scent to some extent... I wonder if they just put it on display for aesthetic reasons.



전정국
Since we're looking at perfumes anyway, shouldn't we organize them in order of scent longevity, concentration, and at least the name? ((Smile


Oh, was I too old-fashioned?

Even when I think about it, he seems to have asked me a very detailed question, and he chuckled to himself before shaking his head.

The clerk stood there, tidying up his bangs with simple, nonchalant touches, and said nothing.



전정국
......



전정국
Ah... just for aesthetics, ((nod


전정국
It's simple.

필요한역/??
......yeah, haha...


전정국
.......he


Today is a day with a lot of laughter, whether inside or outside.

He smiled back at the laughter that was coming up in vain, stretched out his arm, and grabbed the perfume bottle that was the farthest away.


필요한역/??
Ah...! That's,


전정국
This is my favorite perfume.

필요한역/??
ah....


필요한역/??
Fruit... you like the scent, it has a slight berry scent...


전정국
.......


Thump

Thump–

전정국
....((Glance

The surroundings became noisy. Perhaps they were trying to move.


Jungkook glanced around briefly and placed the perfume bottle he was holding on the table. He made sure the label was clearly visible.



전정국
......


전정국
..If I were to choose this perfume bottle next time, I think purple would suit me better than this color.



전정국
Smile))




Still with you,

It's true that it's a perfume that I personally like,





widely

Tak–


The sound of a car door closing echoed briefly throughout the parking lot.

Jungkook followed Namjoon out without any hesitation, as if the story was probably over.

The car started off smoothly and drew a curve as it left the underground parking lot.




The sun was burning hot and seemed to be slowly setting.

...Ah, bro, you liked this kind of thing


Jungkook chuckled at Namjoon, who couldn't take his eyes off the window.

Damn humanities sensibility...

......

...Actually, I couldn't help but notice it,



Now was not the time to delve into that.



전정국
So, bro


김남준
I think we should hold off here and go to Seongsan over there...


전정국
Just leave that side alone and get rid of this place.


김남준
.....,?


Namjoon turned his head with slightly wide eyes at the words he said while holding the steering wheel with one hand.



김남준
...


김남준
Is there really a reason for that?


전정국
....hmm...



전정국
Sigh)) Personal greed...is that what you call it?


김남준
.....?..



전정국
I don't know, you might think it's bullying, but honestly, from the perspective of running a company, I wanted to create a place that would cherish the nostalgia.


전정국
Rather than a material job selling perfume, it is the essence of perfume itself.


김남준
.......



김남준
Hahaha, ((He laughs heartily and turns his head again



김남준
Do whatever you want, it's your company anyway


김남준
Yeah, what does money have to do with it! What matters is protecting our pride.


Even though he was his boss, he was still a close friend, so Namjoon laughed out loud, finding his beliefs quite cute.

Oh, Jimin, can you see it?


The kid you used to play around with is already leading the company according to his own will.

.....,




And that Jimin.


I committed one of the most egregious acts of my life... or rather, one of the most egregious acts of my life.

...Still, I thought I was living a pretty good life.



박지민
.......


심여주
......


Until I met this woman who was dripping with self-doubt like this,





심여주
.....


심여주
...Mart... If we come out and walk this far together... a little,


박지민
......


박지민
Have you ever thought that we might be going in the same direction?


심여주
......


I guess it was my fault for assuming that he was just a guardian, a common guardian who meets about ten people a day due to the nature of his job.

....I wonder if I'm just making things more complicated by worrying unnecessarily when I'm feeling uneasy.


The atmosphere was awkward and colorless with each hand holding a plastic bag.

Unless you have eyes on your feet, you can tell that Jimin doesn't see you as just another nurse.


........


심여주
......



박지민
.....




If it's not too much trouble, could you give me your phone number?


It was fate that we met like this, but the phone number...


My phone number is really precious... but to you, Ms. Yeoju,




박지민
.......((Internal conflict


심여주
.....



심여주
.....((Glance

I feel really vague. Mysterious, strange, ambiguous, something in between,,,,?


Actually, my head is filled with thoughts like, "What am I doing right now?"





심여주
......


심여주
...I'm Jimin


박지민
If you don't mind, could I have your phone number?


심여주
....ah,


박지민
...Can you tell me...?


심여주
Ah.. yes, yes, haha..


It's just the last time, I'm not a celebrity.



심여주
((After giving Jimin his phone number, he takes out his own phone and turns it on.


심여주
.....call here,


심여주
........


The moment I unconsciously turned on my phone and glanced through the piled up messages,





심여주
.......


심여주
.....((Stop




전정국
I arrived safely in Jeju Island.




전정국
I sent you a photo.


전정국
Oh, it's just because the sea is pretty..





심여주
......



The sea is pretty there,

But why do I want to cry so much?
