transaction?
I couldn't even guess why she had come to see me or what her purpose was.
나은
“Isn’t that what you want Jeon Jungkook?”
여주
"I'm more curious as to what it is you want that brought you all the way here."
나은
"Phew, you still don't get it? I'll set you up next to Jeon Jungkook again. You just have to give me a break for a bit."
여주
"What's the plan?"
The woman seemed to think for a moment, then sat down in the empty seat next to me, crossing one leg.
나은
"I have a man I love, too, just like you, Yeoju. Don't think of me as some kind of bad girl. I'm not happy about this contract marriage either."
나은
"We didn't break up because of the contract marriage. Of course, we're secretly dating. We plan to reveal the pregnancy and leave Korea to immigrate to the United States."
여주
"Yes? Then what about the contract marriage?"
나은
"You just need to trust Jungkook faithfully, Ms. Yeoju. The road will never be smooth. After all, you're up against JS and NU." (*NU is a large corporation from a better family.)
여주
“But I already broke up with Jungkook.”
나은
"It seems like we're just breaking up in words, right? You know that Jungkook-ssi doesn't even put food near his mouth because he's thinking about Yeoju-ssi, right?"
I was confused. It's been almost two months since we broke up, and I've been starving all this time... I missed Jungkook more than anyone else right now.
나은
"Then try contacting Jeongguk."
I barely managed to hold on to my trembling hands and carefully dialed Jeongguk's phone number.
Thump thump thump-
정국
-"Hello? Sister Yeoju?"
여주
"Jeong, Jeongguk..."
After only a few beeps, a familiar yet nostalgic voice greeted me. I repeated to myself over and over that I would do well, but it had been a long time since my tears welled up at the sound of Jungkook's voice.
여주
"Ugh, Jungkook, ah, I saw you, sigh, I wanted to."
정국
-"Are you crying? Where are you now?"
Naeun, who had been quietly watching from the side, took out a tissue and handed it to me without saying a word. I bowed my head politely to express my gratitude and quickly wiped my tears with the tissue.
여주
"Me, us, in front of my house, there's a 00 convenience store, sigh-."
정국
-"Just wait a moment. I'll be there."
Thump-
The short but intense call ended, but the tears wouldn't stop. Naeun got up, came over to me, and hugged me.
나은
"It must have been hard to endure it all alone. Now, shoulder the burden with the person you love. It's too much to bear alone."
It's been a long time since I've heard such kind words. It felt like all my worries were being washed away, as if someone understood them.
It was only after a long time that she stopped crying, and perhaps because she had cried while leaning on Naeun's shoulder, the part of her clothes around her shoulders became damp.
여주
"Oh, what should I do? I'll suck this for you."
나은
"It's okay. Tears are just water, they'll dry up eventually, so don't worry about it."
여주
"Still, I'm sorry."
나은
"That's what I should have said. After I leave, you'll have a long road ahead of you, Yeoju, and I feel even more sorry. It feels like I'm leaving you with nothing but hardship."
Squeak-
A car similar to the one Naeun had driven in earlier stopped in front of us, and a familiar face got out of it.
It was Jeon Jungkook.
I jumped up and ran to Jungkook, who, upon seeing me, rushed over and hugged me so tightly that it took my breath away. We held each other so tightly that the scent of Jungkook's perfume penetrated my bones.
정국
"I missed you so much, I was going crazy."
The meaning of those words also contained the meaning that they would go through future hardships together.
