In my next life, please let me be born as a stone.

13. I hope you are happy.

**

I left the chairman's office and went straight to Jeongguk's hospital room.

Because he probably hasn't woken up yet.

just,

I just wanted to see your face once.

I'm sorry,

I just wanted to say one word and leave.

I headed to Jeongguk's hospital room.

When I went inside, I saw Jeongguk lying down with his eyes closed, still unconscious.

Even though I was unconscious, I wanted my voice, my apology, to reach Jeongguk's ears directly.

He turned into a human and opened his mouth.

김여주

...Sorry.

I blurted out those words and turned around to leave.

If only Jungkook hadn't woken up and grabbed my wrist.

I turned my head to see who suddenly grabbed my hand and checked its identity.

It was Jeongguk, and when I turned around, Jeongguk slowly opened his eyes.

And then he slowly opened his mouth.

전정국

Why are you sorry, sister?

I can't bring myself to say to Jeongguk that it's because of me that you became like that.

You may not have seen it, but I was actually there.

I couldn't say anything, so I just shook my head from side to side.

Jeongguk, who had been quietly looking at me like that, opened his mouth again.

전정국

I'm fine, so please go to Yoongi-hyung.

전정국

Brother, you must be very upset right now.

김여주

...Yeah, I understand.

김여주

Take a rest.

김여주

I'll come again next time.

With those words, I left the hospital room.

I leaned against the door and sighed deeply.

And when I turned my head, I saw Seokjin oppa approaching from afar.

김석진

The female protagonist?

김석진

Did Jungkook come to see you?

김여주

yes,

김여주

Wake up, go ahead.

김석진

Oh, really?

김석진

Thanks for letting me know.

Seokjin Oppa smiled faintly, then paused for a moment before asking.

김석진

...Is something wrong?

김석진

You don't look very happy.

When I said that, I remained silent without answering.

Seokjin asked again.

김석진

Did something happen with Yoongi?

Seokjin oppa saw me biting my lip without saying anything and smiled faintly.

김석진

Did Yoongi say something harsh again?

김여주

...Again?

김석진

Yoongi's expressions are very awkward.

김석진

Although he said it out of concern,

김석진

And I unintentionally hurt a lot of people.

김여주

...

김석진

I don't know what he said,

김석진

That can't be true.

김석진

You must be feeling really sorry right now?

김여주

...still.

김여주

This time, it was my fault.

김여주

...

김여주

Maybe in the future...

Seokjin looked at me for a moment and then opened his mouth again.

김석진

This may sound selfish, but

김석진

Without you, Yoongi would have a hard time.

I said to him with a bitter smile.

김여주

sorry.

김여주

Please take good care of me, oppa.

김여주

I sincerely,

"I hope Yoongi is happy."

Senior Seokjin listened quietly, and when I finished speaking, he smiled and said.

김석진

Yeah, if that's what you think, then there's nothing I can do.

김석진

You too, don't worry too much,

김석진

Go in carefully.

After saying that, Seokjin waved at me and walked past me into Jeongguk's hospital room.

I thought as I watched his back as he walked away.

And that's,

This is something that can only happen if I'm not there.
