It keeps overlapping
Engagement (2)
In the office, which was suffocatingly quiet and heavy, Taehyung cast a cold, sharp gaze at his father, the Chairman, as if he had absolutely no intention of backing down.
회장님(아버지)
"N-How dare you..!!"
회장님(아버지)
"How dare you not follow my opinion?!"
태형
"I... have no intention of getting married..."
태형
"My fiancée... Min Yeoreum is all I need..."
회장님(아버지)
"Why can't you let go of your lingering feelings yet?!"
회장님(아버지)
That child died five years ago!
태형
I know that better than anyone!!
태형
" but..... "
태형
I have absolutely no thoughts of anyone other than that child.
태형
"Until now, I have unconditionally followed my father's words, but..."
태형
"I have absolutely no intention of following my father's words regarding this matter... please understand that."
After finishing his words, Taehyung left the room without looking back. Immediately after he left, the Chairman's loud shouting could be heard, but Taehyung paid no attention and walked toward his house.
Upon returning home, Taehyung, looking exhausted and weary, went straight into his room, took off his coat, sat on the edge of the bed, and wiped his face. Although he had said it, he was certainly not the kind of chairman who would give up so easily... Just thinking about what lay ahead made him feel stressed and stifled.
Just as Taehyung let out a deep sigh, not long after, there was a small knock, and Yeoju opened the door and cautiously entered.
It was because I was worried after realizing that something had happened due to the unusual atmosphere surrounding Taehyung when he came home.
However, upon seeing that Taehyung's cheek was noticeably swollen, he ran over in surprise, stroked Taehyung's cheek, and shouted in a voice mixed with worry.
한여주
"!!..Oh my god..You..You got slapped?! "
한여주
"My face turned bright red..."
태형
It's okay... go back.
한여주
But... let's see...
Taehyung replied in a calm voice that he was fine, but when Yeoju was still checking on him without leaving, he suddenly stood up as if the anger he had been simmering since work had exploded, pushed Yeoju away, and shouted.
한여주
"Kyaaak..!"
태형
"What are you going to do if you know...?"
태형
"What do you think you are that you keep worrying and caring about me?!"
태형
It looks like he thinks he can climb over us just because we've helped and protected him a little so far...
태형
"Don't underestimate the school bullies... If you keep trying to interfere in everything..."
태형
I could actually hurt you.
Yeoju, who had fallen backward when Taehyung pushed her, listened quietly to Taehyung's words, then choked up and shouted just like him.
한여주
"What am I supposed to do about something that bothers me..."
한여주
"It's hard to pretend I don't know the other person is having a hard time...!!!"
여름
"How can you pretend not to know when you know the other person is having a hard time!!"
태형
" !!!!!!.... "
The female lead says the exact same things as Yeoreum did when she was alive, and Taehyung begins to see her as overlapping with Yeoreum.
태형
( Why do you keep reminding me of summer... )
태형
( You keep making my heart ache.... and waver..!! )
한여주
You might find it bothersome... and dislike it, but...
한여주
"Still... I'm worried... and I want to be of strength for you. What am I supposed to do...?"
When Yeoju finished speaking and stood up to look at Taehyung, Taehyung stared at her silently and muttered.
태형
"Who on earth are you..."
태형
"It might be a little unpleasant since it's just between men, but..."
태형
"Just bear with it..."
Taehyung silently pulled Yeoju into his arms and hugged her tightly. Then, burying his face in her shoulder, he quietly leaned against her.
Surprised by Taehyung's actions, Yeoju froze for a moment, then soon hugged Taehyung as well and slowly patted his back.
태형
( Oh Summer... I will only look at you... )
태형
( But... lately, I keep finding myself drawn to this kid... )
태형
( Still, since this child is a boy... )
태형
( It would be okay if I opened my heart to this child... Yeoreum, right? )
