41. Secret Preparation

Square- square-

A library filled only with the sound of pencils

And the four people crushed by that quiet air...

Jiying-

박혜인

?

Hyein's cell phone rings,

강 솔

- Let's go get a drink.

박혜인

- call

Hyein and Sol are the first to leave the library.

민윤기

....

민윤기

'Why is he here of all places...'

민윤기

'..I hope I'm not misunderstanding...?'

여주은

....

Yoon-ki is restless at the sight of Joo-eun's expressionless face, which is completely unreadable.

Meanwhile,

Jiiing- Jiiing-

여주은

Oh, I'll go take a call.

민윤기

Huh? Oh... Who is it?

여주은

Yujeong~

민윤기

Ah... okay...

김유정

- Where are you, Ju-eun?

여주은

- I'm at the library now~ Why?

김유정

- Is Min Yoongi with you too?

여주은

- Yeah, we're studying together!

김유정

- Do you want to meet up later tonight?

김유정

- I just met Seokjin. Let's have dinner together and then go home.

여주은

- Okay! I'll ask Yoongi and text him.

김유정

-Okay, come in~

여주은

- Yeah~

Thump-

여주은

......

Joo-eun leaned against the wall for a moment, lost in thought.

Why is Joo-eun in such trouble?

A little later, Joo-eun returns to the library.

여주은

...uh..

박혜인

...

강 솔

..

강 솔

hi?

여주은

Huh? Oh... hi

강 솔

Are you Min Yoongi's girlfriend?

여주은

Yeah.. that's right

여주은

...you at that time...

박혜인

..

박혜인

I'm saying this because I'm afraid there might be a misunderstanding.

박혜인

Min Yoongi and I have been friends since long ago. We went to the same elementary and middle school, and we never dated.

박혜인

So you don't have to worry...

여주은

ah...

여주은

So are you still friends?

박혜인

...friend?

박혜인

..well

박혜인

I've done him so many wrongs.

여주은

...

여주은

Still... can't it be turned back?

박혜인

..you're going back? Between us?

여주은

huh..

박혜인

no

박혜인

He has you now... What's the point of me becoming close to him again? It'll be too uncomfortable to talk anyway.

여주은

still...

박혜인

...You have a good girlfriend. Min Yoongi

박혜인

Okay. Thanks for your concern.

여주은

Oh, yeah...

Hyein smiled slightly, then threw the empty can into the trash can and walked away.

여주은

excuse me...!!

박혜인

?

여주은

I have a question...

박혜인

What is it?

여주은

Well... if you've been friends since childhood, you must know Yoongi well, right?

박혜인

..that's..on the side

박혜인

why?

여주은

It's Yoongi's birthday soon, but I don't know much about it...

여주은

I was wondering if you could help me out..!

박혜인

...

강 솔

..what should I do, should I go in first?

박혜인

Oh, you were there

박혜인

....

Hyein, who seemed to be thinking for a moment, soon opened her mouth.

박혜인

...go in first

강 솔

Come quickly?

박혜인

okay

박혜인

Let's go. Let's go somewhere else and talk.

여주은

...

여주은

thank you!!

Two people came to the break room in search of a quiet place.

박혜인

So... what are your plans?

여주은

Plans? Hmm... My birthday's over the weekend, so I'm thinking about booking a restaurant or room...

여주은

Oh, I chose something like this for a gift. Is it okay?

박혜인

A gift? Where are you looking?

여주은

here...

박혜인

....

ridge

Ta-da

Drumroll

박혜인

.....

박혜인

'How can they all be so bad...?'

박혜인

...You... really don't know anything about Yoongi.

여주은

...not so good?

박혜인

....

Hyein feels sorry for Joo-eun who has become gloomy

Without realizing it, he begins to comfort Joo-eun.

박혜인

Watch... The watch is nice. It's practical.

박혜인

Let's try changing just the design

여주은

Really? Are you okay?

박혜인

Uh... I guess it's okay since he doesn't wear a watch.

여주은

So what kind of design would be better?

박혜인

hmm...

박혜인

Listen carefully. He likes clean, plain materials rather than anything too flashy.

박혜인

Black and white is the safest, but it's also nice to have primary color accents like this.

박혜인

And if you're going to buy a watch, I'd rather get an electronic one than a needle watch. It's a hassle to read the needles.

여주은

Oh..! I hadn't thought of an electronic watch.

여주은

Then I guess I'll have to give this as a gift~

박혜인

...or something

박혜인

Then I'm going in now.

여주은

Huh? Uh... yeah

여주은

thank you!

박혜인

...

Tears welled up in Hyein's ears at the words she heard as she turned away.

I'm really done with him now

박혜인

...sigh..

Thank you, and I'm sorry

And even though it wasn't my true heart

I liked it

I... hit me hard

No, but why did I naturally think that the price would go up...

I came in to write for next week and saw that it was saved temporarily...?

Anyway, I'm really sorry that the episode was delayed due to my carelessness... You can give me a spanking.

Anyway, I apologize once again and I'll see you next week... Please forgive the lazy writer, hehehehe
