๐ Why are you calling me so early in the morning?


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
๐ Author Seokjin Kim has accepted!

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ Really?


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
๐ You met the author yesterday, right? Was everything okay?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ Since nothing happened, you probably accepted. What about the other one?


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
๐ All accepted!

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ Ha... That's a relief. Okay, see you later.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
๐ Yes! Be careful on your way.

I succeeded in changing artist Kim Seok-jin's mind. I'm relieved that the exhibition can proceed, but a strange uneasiness lingers.

[5th โโAnniversary Special Exhibition D+5]

I lost track of time preparing for the special exhibition, and it's already been five days since its opening. As a special exhibition, we're hosting five artists in rotation, and today is the day we're hosting Kim Seok-jin.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Is it because he has a handsome face?


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
yes?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
uh?


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
What did you say?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh, no.

Maybe it was because he was handsome, but I felt like he had a lot of fans. I was strangely jealous of the writer who always made his fans smile.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
The author seems to be in a better mood than I expected.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
That's right.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
What is it?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
what.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
What is that reaction?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
What am I doing? Just don't bother with my feelings and go away.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
I had a hard time making up my mind, but I'm worried that the curator might be swayed.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท.

Well... just looking at the traffic lights makes me think of the author, but I can't even tell if it's my heart wavering or if it's just a passing thought.

์คํ 6:50
์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Huh? Mr. Yoongi!


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
Phew... It's not closing yet, right?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
I was just about to finish, but what happened? Did you come running?


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
I'm going to give you this.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
A bouquet of flowers? What is it...?


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
It's your 5th anniversary. I heard the special exhibition is going well. Is that a congratulatory message?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Thank you, really...


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
It's the weekend tomorrow, so I was thinking about having some drinks together since I missed it then. Is Taehyung finished?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Ah...! Ah... Mr. Yoongi, can you just step out for a moment? No, just a moment...


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
Yes...? What do you mean? LOL


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
Huh? Brother!!

Then I saw the artist coming out with Curator Kim. I'd forgotten he was just stopping by to say hello to the director.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
What's going on? Even a bouquet of flowers?


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
Oh, I couldn't make it the first time, so I stopped by today. I'm thinking of having a drink with Yeoju-ssi. Come with me. I'll pay.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
Good~


๊น์์ง
Then I'll go in. Please take care of the rest of the exhibition.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
Oh, please be careful on your way in.

The author greeted Curator Kim, gave me a quick greeting, and then left. I was truly embarrassed. I wondered what the author would think of this situation. I shouldn't have, but with Yoon-ki right in front of me, I couldn't help it.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
I'll go first. I'm sorry, Yoongi. Could you go first? I'll stop by for a bit and then be right back.


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
Yes...? Miss Yeoju!


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
Brother, let's go first.


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
Huh? Huh...

.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Author. Author!!

I stopped the author as he was getting into his car in the parking lot. No matter how many times I called him, he would get in right away. I shouldn't have, but I ended up sitting next to him.


๊น์์ง
What are you doing?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Let's talk.

Just then, I saw Mr. Yoongi and Curator Kim passing through the parking lot. Without realizing it, I bowed down like a guilty person.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Did you go...?


๊น์์ง
Yes... Shouldn't you be here right now?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
No, that won't work.


๊น์์ง
Is that the person you were talking about then?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Do whatever you want.


๊น์์ง
Get off quickly. I have nothing to say.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
I have something to say.


๊น์์ง
Get down, quickly.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
no, I do not want.


๊น์์ง
What are you trying to say?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
I don't know... I guess I haven't forgotten the author.


๊น์์ง
If you're going to talk nonsense, then go. If you can't get off, I'll get off.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Me! I still like you, author. You're responsible. Because of you, I can't like anyone else.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Because of you, author! I... can't love anyone else. Because I can't forget you...


๊น์์ง
ยทยทยทยทยทยท.

rrrrrr


๊น์์ง
๐ Yes, Curator. Could you please take Curator Yoon to the parking lot? Yes.

.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
What are you doing now?


๊น์์ง
I'll make it seem like nothing happened.

Then the author got out of the car. I was left alone in the car, lost in thought. I was so saddened by the author's coldness to me, no matter what I said.

After a while of being still, Curator Kim appeared. Fortunately, Yoon-ki was nowhere to be seen.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
Why are you here... Let's go.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Mr. Yoongi...?


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
I went.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
uhยทยทยท?


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
I sent him off well because he said it would be better to go first. He said he would contact me.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Ha... the author...


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
He said he would come if I took him.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
underยทยทยท.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
What happened today was the curator's fault. To be honest, if it was going to be like this, you shouldn't even be meeting hyung.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
I know, me too... I'm a bad X...


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
Why are you saying that again?

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
I'll go alone. You go too.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
I'll take you there.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
it's okayยทยทยท.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
justยทยทยท,

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Please... leave me alone. I want to go alone.


๊นํํ ํ๋ ์ดํฐ
Okay... Go in carefully.

So I left the parking lot. Feeling completely drained, I just started walking. I guess I just didn't realize I was the problem and that everyone else was suffering because of me.

์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
It's all my fault...

After walking for a while with tears in my eyes, I staggered from exhaustion, but then I came to my senses and started walking straight again, but then I staggered again and lost consciousness.

I thought I was going to fall, but I didn't. Someone caught me...

?
are you okay?!!


MEY๋ฉ์ด
Let's go back to focusing on Kim Seok-jin and Yoon Yeo-joo. ๐
