If I could carve your scent
Episode 29: I agree with those misunderstandings.

심여주
....((gulp



Outside, it's getting dark,

A car parked with the auxiliary lights on above the passenger seat, and the interior sweltering with the heater on.

It was like that when I stretched out to grab my bag, but in that situation, I was told to come a little further.


The body was tense to the point of being scary, and the sound of swallowing was so loud that I was worried it might be heard.

Instead, she was surprised and let out a cough for no reason.


And, he handed me the ring case with a strangely excited look on his face, whether he knew or not.

What...?! Wait, a, a ring case?!?!



심여주
......?!


심여주
.....((He glances at Jeongguk with wide eyes


전정국
...((ㅎuㅎ



심여주
..No... Uh, this is...


전정국
Tak-)) It's an anklet. I bought it in Jeju Island...


심여주
yes...?


전정국
....?



Maybe this is what it feels like to want to hide in a mouse hole...



But luckily! The female protagonist wiped away her flustered expression with a poker face honed from years of rolling around in the emergency room.

Still, I was surprised, so I asked in a slightly bewildered voice, “What is this?”




심여주
...Really,..what is this..haha..


전정국
Uh... well... actually... I was at the duty free shop... thinking about what to buy...


전정국
..Chocolate is so common,, so I bought something that caught my eye...



전정국
I thought bracelets might be cumbersome to wear at work...so I bought an anklet instead.


심여주
......Ah... Wow....


To be honest, it's true that my mouth was wide open.

The anklet, which was housed in a luxurious leather case (which I mistook for a ring case), had a subtle sparkle.

...Actually, even at a glance, it looked incredibly expensive.



심여주
That... wouldn't it be too, too expensive for you to give it to me...


전정국
I bought it at a duty free shop... ..uh...really..! It was a reasonable price! But it's not fake.


전정국
....Even though I'm like this... I'm the company's representative...


심여주
.....


심여주
....So...


전정국
...yes....?


My eyes went dark.

At my age, would I have sold out my country or saved it?


The situation unfolding before my eyes was so incomprehensible that it felt like a fantasy...



심여주
......


심여주
...This....is going to be over 30,000 won, right...?


전정국
Ah... of course...


심여주
....



심여주
...the law..... that,


전정국
.........


It was an atmosphere as if water had been intentionally sprinkled on the air, creating an atmosphere that seemed as if it was about to float away at any moment, like a hot air balloon.



심여주
..Ah,.. Ah.. No..!! Now that I think about it, I think it'll be okay..(?)


심여주
But where is this from...? It's really pretty...


심여주
.......


전정국
....



전정국
..I..I never thought of going that far... Uh..


He must be quite embarrassed, too, as he scratches the back of his head and trails off, his neck turning red.

..I misspoke again... You're just being sarcastic


Slowly, little by little... The hand that was hastily holding the anklet lost strength as the case fell backwards.



심여주
.....


심여주
...That... No, it doesn't... It doesn't...


전정국
Let's just do it like this


심여주
yes...?



전정국
It's okay if the relationship isn't just business.


심여주
...No, that...that's it...


전정국
Well, you can say family, acquaintances, friends, lovers... ...well, it doesn't matter..!


심여주
......



전정국
...So just take it as a gift.. I'm just, well.. useless...


전정국
But isn't the design really pretty? It really catches the eye..?


심여주
....


심여주
...he,



심여주
I think so, ((smile


심여주
...But... Um... Should we go out now?


심여주
It's a little... hot... .....


전정국
.....big, ah, is that so..?




After getting out of the car, I was walking a little bit to the apartment.

He was holding a coffee in one hand with a relaxed expression, and he looked as relaxed as always.

I slung the eco-bag over one shoulder and held the case in my hand.



심여주
...Uh...but, what did you sprinkle here?


전정국
Wow)) Yes...?!


심여주
That's right! ..It looks like you sprayed some perfume or something...



전정국
...Uh..How did you know...? ..I thought you didn't know...


심여주
First of all..! I just grabbed the anklet and it was a bit slick..


전정국
ah......


심여주
And here, the scent comes from the hand and the case. Totally, strongly.


전정국
...is it really that strong...? That's...?


심여주
What... depends on the person...? No but ㅋㅋ what on earth did you spray that made you react like that ㅋㅋㅋ



심여주
I don't think it sprayed anything weird... ..um....kind of a berry scent..? Blueberry?


심여주
..a little rain...that.. damp....uh....


전정국
........



심여주
But what is it really..? It smells really good?


전정국
Ah, that's that... st, ah....


심여주
yes..?


전정국
.......



I think I didn't think much about the title when I came up with it...

...Of course, since it's perfume... ....I made it so that the scent would last longer... ..but...



전정국
........


전정국
.....(It feels weird to say it here..! I'm not even pestering you,,)



전정국
.......


전정국
...big, ..secret, secret.


심여주
...?to....?


전정국
Oh right, that's right, I've decided on a topic, so you should listen.



전정국
Come quickly. If this keeps up, I won't be able to talk today either.


심여주
......


심여주
...her......



widely

Tak–



전정국
.....


심여주
..so, that topic


전정국
...



심여주
Is this love?


전정국
....yes..


심여주
..oh my, what was I trying to say that took so long to say?


심여주
If it's love, it's fine. The other meanings inherent in it are endless, right?


심여주
...I was hesitating, so I was nervous because I thought it would come out as some kind of thesis title.



전정국
haha...


Actually, it's a little off(?) ((no, I almost fell out of my mind while desperately asking

After he came home in that state, he shut his mouth as if he was lying and avoided me.

No, I wasn't deliberately delaying time. I was wondering how out of the blue he must have been to be so self-conscious.

...love, yes. That's love.




심여주
Still... if you look at the themes of Jungkook's perfumes, love is a really new challenge.


심여주
..just youth...memories...that's all I had..


전정국
Did you... look for it all..?


심여주
Hey, if you sign a contract without even knowing who you're collaborating with or what the company is like, you're likely to get taken advantage of.



심여주
...No.. I'm just saying this now, but the company is really big...?!


전정국
.....((scratch


심여주
I thought this house was a bit big, but it wasn't. .. I think a bigger house would be easy to fit..


전정국
ha ha ha...



전정국
..Here, have some more tea. And cookies, uh... there's one in front...


전정국
.....



심여주
Still, it would be lonely to live alone in such a big house, right?


전정국
...Well... I've been like this since I was little, so I don't really feel anything...


전정국
..Still...sometimes...? When I'm lonely, I have a drink.


심여주
.......


심여주
....((Sympathy



심여주
I felt really sad for a moment.


전정국
..I remember that for a moment, his eyes looked like he was looking at a puppy soaked in rain.


심여주
......


전정국
He puts the cookie to his mouth with a light smile))




심여주
..come to my house sometime later


전정국
Big..!


심여주
....?



전정국
...Ah, oh, that, that, that, that crumb, that crumb got stuck in my throat..


심여주
Drink some water. ... Seriously, eat well.




심여주
..My parents are at home, but they go out sometimes, so I'll call them then.


전정국
Knuckle... ugh, ...knock knock knock


전정국
......Ah... ..Huh, ...Cool..



전정국
.........


심여주
