A Man's Confession

정국

''I...actually, I like you very much.''

A pleasant, cool breeze is blowing. Is it because of this wind that Yeoju's chest feels a little ticklish right now?

For a while, he stared blankly at Jeongguk, unable to fully understand what Jeongguk meant, and his expression soon turned into one of bewilderment.

한여주

"Jungkook, what are you talking about all of a sudden..?"

정국

"It's just what I heard from you. I...like you so much. That's why...I want to stay with you even after we graduate."

'It's not just a beautiful memory that will remain in the school facilities...' As Jeongguk continued speaking, he smiled affectionately, worried that the female lead might feel burdened, and carefully reached out and stroked her cheek.

정국

"My father told me to prepare to inherit the company, but I was sick of the words money and power, so I always avoided them."

정국

"But... if my older sister has nowhere to go, I can take her, so I can have that ability... I'm going to graduate from high school early and prepare according to my father's words."

Even as he continued to speak like that, Jeongguk added a little more, worried that the female lead might feel burdened.

정국

"Anyway... it was something I had to do someday, and I just made up my mind. I'm not doing this just because of you, so don't feel too burdened."

But as the heroine's face filled with confusion and regret, Jeong-gook felt a pang of pain, realizing that, even though he already knew the truth, the heroine's answer had already been decided. Yet, despite this, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile.

I'm afraid she'll feel guilty because of me.

한여주

(I'm already confused because of what happened with Taehyung... I can't just give Jungkook a vague answer here...)

As the female protagonist, who had made up her mind, opened her lips to speak, Jeongguk pressed his index finger against her lips in a straight line, as if telling her to be quiet.

정국

"There's still time until you guys graduate...so take your time and think about it before you answer."

정국

"At least give me a chance to show that I've worked hard to become a better version of myself, rather than just like this."

정국

(Actually... I'm worried that if things continue like this, I won't be able to say anything and Taehyung will steal it from me, so I'm getting impatient...)

정국

(Noona... Actually, when Taehyung and Noona's relationship broke up, I was a little happy inside... And now that our relationship has broken up... I feel like it's the opportunity... to confess like this... )

정국

(Am I...a bad guy..?)

Jungkook barely managed to silence the many thoughts filling his head, looked at Yeoju, chuckled, and then got up from the bench he was sitting on.

정국

"It's been quite some time... Go back quickly, sister, I'll be waiting for you guys!"

The female lead was at a loss as to what to do in the awkward atmosphere, but was momentarily taken aback by Jeong-guk's playful urging as usual.

Soon, he smiled brightly again and jumped up from his seat.

한여주

"Yeah..! That's right, let's go!"

Behind the two people running while holding each other's hands, the fallen leaves fluttering in the wind resembled a painting.

So today, a man's confession was marked with a comma instead of a period.

The ending that follows that comma... is something even the female protagonist still doesn't know.

정국

(It doesn't matter if you don't accept my feelings. But I meant it when I said I would make a place for you to go.)

정국

(So, sister...at least sister...)

정국

(Please use my heart as you wish.)

Yes, everyone, I am the author who has returned after a long time.

While I was reading the comments, I noticed that there were still people leaving comments even though it had been a long time since the last episode was uploaded, so I decided to upload it like this even though I originally had no plans to serialize it.

I apologize for not being able to keep my promise to continue serializing this work, even though I promised to do so before.

And as for future plans...

I really want to tell you that I will upload it occasionally, but unfortunately, due to the long hiatus, my memory of the overall flow of the story is hazy.

I think you can assume I have absolutely no memory of what I originally planned to write for the next episode. This episode, too, I just kept racking my brain, trying to write as best I could with a few lines I had...

I think there will be difficulties in future serialization.

I sincerely apologize to all of you who have waited so long. I'm truly sorry. And I'd like to express my gratitude to those who have remembered and enjoyed my work.

Thank you so much and I appreciate it.
