It keeps overlapping
love you


Left alone in the hospital room, Taehyung slowly sat up.

However, the slowed movements and grimace, as if pain were rushing from the surgical site, came as if tearing Yeoju's heart to shreds.


태형
"Ugh...!!"

한여주
"Just lie down. It hasn't been that long since the surgery, why are you trying to get up again?"

However, despite Yeoju's words, Taehyung stubbornly sat up and leaned against the bed.


태형
"But... if I don't do this, I can't look you straight in the eye..."

Yeoju felt her heart pounding for a moment and almost fluttered, but thinking that couldn't be true, she shook her head briefly to regain her composure and soon asked Taehyung.

한여주
"What on earth do you want to say, even if it means looking me straight in the face like this?"

At Yeoju's question, Taehyung remained silent for a moment, then seemed to quietly scan Yeoju's body before speaking in a low, muttering tone instead of an answer.


태형
You're really hurt.....


태형
"It hurt, didn't it...?"

At Taehyung's words, Yeoju wore a look of disbelief, then glared at him as if all the pent-up resentment she had been harboring was building up and shouted.

한여주
Is that really something you should be saying right now?!

한여주
You got stabbed because of me... Do you know how worried I was?!

한여주
But the news I hear as soon as I wake up is that you recklessly discharged yourself, causing your wound to reopen, and you are undergoing re-operation...

한여주
"Why on earth are you doing such a stupid thing...!!"


태형
"Because you got hurt..!!"

한여주
" what....? "


태형
"When I saw you getting beaten up and covered in wounds right before my eyes..."


태형
"Honestly, I wanted to kill all those bastards.... "


태형
" however.... "


태형
"I got stabbed with the sole thought that I had to protect you no matter what, and my body felt like it wasn't even my own. I decided to just go to prison and endure rotting away on prison food for the rest of my life, so I handed him over to the police, but..."


태형
"I hear the men were acquitted... and that it was my father's doing..."

Yeoju listened quietly to what Taehyung said, unable to hide her surprise.

한여주
" what..? "


태형
"I couldn't just let the men who did that to you get away with it, so I went to see my father..."


태형
"But... as expected, I haven't changed at all..."


태형
"We couldn't even put the men back in jail... and to think they ended up being rushed back to the hospital..."


태형
"You're such a weakling..."


태형
" sorry...... "

Taehyung lowered his head after finishing his words. However, despite this, Yeoju merely wore an expression of incomprehension.

한여주
You're the one who actually suffered the damage...

한여주
"Anyway, I owed those men a debt... and you got stabbed while trying to save me, even though you did nothing wrong..."

한여주
"On the contrary, in a situation where I should have remained silent even if your father were angry at me..."

한여주
"Why you... "


태형
"I knew you were a woman, so how could...."


태형
"When I heard that... rather than anger at being deceived, I was happy that she was a woman, so what am I supposed to do?"


태형
"I wished you were a woman.... I know it's stupid and foolish to develop these feelings for a man... "


태형
You've become more and more precious to me....


태형
But... after hearing that she was a real woman...


태형
It was insanely good... what am I supposed to do...

Taehyung ruffled his hair with a look that said he couldn't understand why he was acting this way, and then looked at Yeoju with a determined expression.



태형
"I love you, Yeoju..."


태형
I really, really like you....

After finishing his words, Taehyung reached out, gently cupped Yeoju's head, and softly pressed his lips against her forehead.
