If pain has a forecast

If it's face recognition disorder..., then...

That's why they didn't recognize me. How big of an accident must it have been for something like that to happen... If they can't even remember my name, it must have been a really big deal. Now the puzzle is finally solved. Why did she suddenly disappear? I don't even know that...

It must have been difficult, so I didn't want to keep reliving my memories. But I kept seeing images of my senior from when I was young. The fond memories kept lingering.

If there's anything I don't remember, I'm sorry.

윤여주

It's okay...! It's okay... Phew...! I'm talking about that exhibition. Still, if it's okay with you, I'd like to hold an exhibition. I'll help you out a lot.

김석진

Ah... You said you were my fan for the past 10 years. Is that true?

윤여주

Of course! Would I lie about that? I've liked you from the very beginning, author.

김석진 image

김석진

Why was it good... may I ask?

윤여주

Maybe it's because I love landscapes, but I was inexplicably drawn to your work. It was so beautiful. I couldn't just pass it by.

김석진 image

김석진

Ah... thank you. Actually... I stopped drawing after the accident.

윤여주

Yes...?! Why, why did you quit?

김석진 image

김석진

Even though it's my drawing, I can't really recognize it. I easily forget what I drew... I just didn't like that about myself.

윤여주

The author... is a truly good person. So don't be discouraged. Would you do that when your fans are right in front of you?

김석진 image

김석진

Oh, I'm sorry... I was originally going to meet you, explain my situation, and then immediately reject you, but that didn't work out so well...

윤여주

Don't refuse, and please show me around the studio. Do you share your home and studio?

김석진 image

김석진

Yes, that's right. I use one room as my studio. It's been a while since I've been there, so it feels a bit unfamiliar.

윤여주

omg···.

I was about to go in, but the moment I took my first step, I froze. The painting right before my eyes was one I'd never seen before, a painting that hadn't been uploaded to Inbyeol, yet anyone would recognize it.

김석진 image

김석진

Why... are you like that?

윤여주

Yes? Oh... Can I use the bathroom for a second?

김석진 image

김석진

Yes, it's over there.

윤여주

Thank you. Phew...

The place in that painting was where my unrequited love began, the traffic light where my senior held my umbrella. As soon as I saw the painting, tears welled up in my eyes, but I didn't want to show them in front of the artist.

윤여주

Ha... Come to your senses, Yoon Yeo-ju. Ah... Whew...

김석진 image

김석진

“Curator, are you okay?”

윤여주

Oh, yes! Let's go!

윤여주

after···.

김석진 image

김석진

Are you okay...? Did you cry?

윤여주

Yes...? No? Why are you crying? Let's go look at the painting again.

김석진 image

김석진

It's true that I cried. I can recognize that I cried too.

윤여주

...No, it's okay.

김석진 image

김석진

Is it because of me?

윤여주

It's not because of you, author. I just thought of the old days and did it. Don't worry, it's not because of you, author.

김석진 image

김석진

······.

윤여주

I'll call it a day. Can I come back later to see the paintings? That... I'll abide by the artist's decision about the exhibition. I don't think I can force it. And don't put the paintings down. They are my only refuge, your paintings.

김석진 image

김석진

I'm also deeply troubled. I'll think about it some more. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I'm so sorry about today.

윤여주

It's not your fault, author. Why do you keep saying sorry? This is my business card. If you feel sorry, please think about it and contact me. I'll go.

I hated the author for always apologizing. If he was so sorry, he should have remembered. But the fact that he couldn't do that was hell for me.

I don't know why the misfortunes between me and author Kim Seok-jin keep happening. With puffy eyes, I headed back to the art gallery.

Huh? Curator Yoon! Did the curator cry?!

윤여주

What are you talking about, why am I crying?

김태형 큐레이터 image

김태형 큐레이터

Aren't you on your way back from meeting the author? What happened?

윤여주

no···.

김태형 큐레이터 image

김태형 큐레이터

I still can't read the curator's expression?

윤여주

Do you have nothing to do?

김태형 큐레이터 image

김태형 큐레이터

What happened to the author?

윤여주

Ah... They said they'd contact me again. I haven't received a definitive answer yet.

김태형 큐레이터 image

김태형 큐레이터

Something really happened.

김남준 관장

What's going on?

윤여주

Hey, Manager! When did you get here...?

김남준 관장 image

김남준 관장

If you're here, you should report. What are you doing?

윤여주

Oh, I'm sorry.

김남준 관장 image

김남준 관장

I heard you went to see the author.

윤여주

Oh, that's...

어시 큐레이터

Curator Yoon! Are you looking for curator Kim Seok-jin?
