It's my turn now, baby.

[ 15 ] Because it’s Gu Yeo-ju, not someone else.

That night,

Taehyung and Yeoju are at the convenience store, Yeoju's part-time job spot, once again today.

However, if there is one thing that is slightly different from before,

Taehyung looks a bit serious and troubled, and the female lead, unaware of the reason, comes across him while working a part-time job.

구여주

.....?

김태형

...........

구여주

......hmm,

Is something bothering you?

It seems Taehyung is lost in thought, probably because of the argument he had with Chairman Seong earlier today.

To the female lead, who has no idea, it would just look like she has a serious worry.

구여주

..........

구여주

...Hmm....

구여주

mister,

김태형

........

구여주

Hoo....

Look at this,

So you're saying it's so serious you can't even hear me?

구여주

..........

Something really seems to be going on..

구여주

.....mister,

구여주

.....mister?

구여주

.....mister!

구여주

........

구여주

........

구여주

Hey mister-!!

김태형

..........

김태형

..........

Taehyung didn't answer even after being called two or three times.

From Taehyung's perspective, it is naturally a very serious matter, so it is understandable that he is lost in thought, but

From the female lead's perspective, she thinks it is even stranger because Taehyung has never once failed to answer even after she called him several times.

구여주

...........

구여주

...........

구여주

Hey, Kim Taehyung!!!

김태형

Surprise-]

김태형

O...uh?

구여주

.....greatness,

구여주

I called several times, but there was no answer.

구여주

...Is something wrong, sir?

김태형

.........

김태형

.........

김태형

Nothing happened... haha, nothing like that.

구여주

........

구여주

........

구여주

........Shaking my head-]

구여주

Anyone can tell that's a look that says, "I have a story to tell"......

구여주

Tell me, what is it?

김태형

.........

김태형

.....No_I can't say. This.

구여주

......Hmm,

구여주

If it is that serious,...

구여주

It means something really shocking happened...

구여주

Hmm,.....

구여주

Something vague, like a secret of birth.

구여주

Or maybe, actually, he was the son of a big business owner. Something like that...?

김태형

.....chuckle-]

김태형

No, not that kind of thing.

구여주

......hmm,

구여주

Then what is it?

구여주

You're really good at listening to my worries.

김태형

..........

Taehyung pondered alone, biting his lower lip slightly as he wondered if he should ask Yeoju about this problem or if he should think about it together.

Because this matter is directly related to Yeoju and could potentially put her in danger or strain the relationship between Taehyung and Yeoju, Taehyung is even more wary of Yeoju's feelings.

However, in this helpless situation, it felt like I couldn't possibly find a solution on my own, and as I agonized over it alone, I realized that my thoughts were constantly trapped.

He gazes intently at the female lead until the very end, and finally, cautiously, wanting to receive just an objective look from her, he brings up the topic in a roundabout way.

김태형

....You, Yeoju,

김태형

There is someone you have to protect, someone you want to protect.

김태형

There is a way to protect that person.

김태형

............

김태형

............

김태형

But...

구여주

But?

김태형

.........

Taehyung, who cannot easily bring himself to say these words

In response, Yeoju does not rush Taehyung and waits until he tells her.

It was frustrating, but to express those feelings to Taehyung

It looked like you were really worried.

The person who usually never paid attention to others started to watch my reaction and tightly pursed their lower lip.

His appearance, agonizing until the very end over whether or not to speak to the female lead

He looked a little pitiful and anxious.

김태형

..........

김태형

..........

김태형

In order to protect that person,

김태형

If that person leaves me,

김태형

If I leave that person

김태형

If you can't avoid either of the two,

김태형

......What will you choose_?

구여주

......Hmm,

구여주

It's difficult to make a choice.

구여주

But,

구여주

If that person is important to you, sir,

구여주

We have to get through this together.

구여주

Whether the uncle leaves that person,

구여주

Whether that person leaves the uncle

구여주

It’s a relationship filled with nothing but hurt for each other.

김태형

...........

...with you...?

Taehyung was momentarily shaken by the female lead's words that they had to get through this together.

Of course, if he tells the female lead this and starts putting their heads together to solve it, it’s really all or nothing—either they both fail or they end up living together.

Taehyung absolutely did not want to put Yeoju in danger, and given that Chairman Seong had discovered her existence and relationship, if he were to put her at the forefront with him...

Taehyung absolutely does not want to create such a situation, as it would endanger the female lead's future whereabouts rather than his own safety.

김태형

......No, that won't work.

김태형

The moment that person deeply intrudes into my work,

김태형

It's really dangerous.

김태형

To the point where I couldn't bear to protect that person

구여주

.......Hmm,

구여주

Ah, then

구여주

There must be someone trying to harm that person.

구여주

........hmm,

구여주

It's a bit of a simple and one-dimensional way of thinking, though.

구여주

How about hitting that side first?

구여주

So-called "first strike"..... something like that? Haha.

김태형

So, striking first...

구여주

...greatness,

구여주

I'm sorry_I was too simple.

김태형

...chuckle-]

김태형

No, haha. It was very helpful.

To strike that side first......

...I wonder if that's possible.

Against no less than a major corporation.

• • •

구여주

Ahem, anyway

구여주

I'm saying this because it seems like you're taking it too seriously, sir.

구여주

You know the saying, "The more haste, the less speed."

구여주

The more you keep thinking so seriously, sir,

구여주

You will never find that answer.

구여주

" ......So, what I mean is "

구여주

"Let's think about it a little simply."

구여주

"Sometimes..."

구여주

The simplest thing can sometimes be the best way, haha.

김태형

[Muttering] Simply,......

김태형

.........

김태형

.........

김태형

How to bring down JH Corporation...

김태형

Ways to bring down JH Corporation... heh

김태형

You know.

Although Taehyung was adopted by Chairman Seong when he was young, Chairman Seong adopted him merely to establish him as the next chairman, and

Chairman Seong only provided education in management, economics, and other areas necessary to succeed the company in order to install Tae-hyung as chairman. Since Tae-hyung had a talent for management, Chairman Seong only provided him with food, clothing, and shelter and did not build any personal relationship with him.

Taehyung naturally had absolutely no intention of inheriting the company and had no interest in JH Corporation, but he was completely unaware of the typical corruption and illegal activities that people talk about, so there was nothing he could do to dig them up.

However, the method Taehyung is thinking of right now might take a long time, or even lead to a complete disaster—it could be a dangerous action that makes others go 'Huh?' and find incomprehensible, but

Because "this" is the only thing Taehyung has learned and can do up until now,

Taehyung is,

I intend to take on Chairman Seong head-on.

...........I,..

I will definitely... absolutely,

.....No matter... what happens,..

.......you,,...

....At least you........

....Because it’s not someone else, but ‘Gu Yeo-ju’.

김태형

".....Please stay by my side,,.. "

김태형

" ......So that I,..can protect you_ "

Haha.... The content is really, really bad.....😭 Also, today the explanations were exceptionally much longer than the dialogue, so it must have been boring to watch, but thank you for watching until the end..❤

Oh, and to the reader who guesses what 'this' and 'head-to-head confrontation' Taehyung is talking about..!!

++ I'll reply with my special rainbow heart hehe ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💖

++ The hints are all there without you even realizing it 😉😉

Also...... starting from the next chapter, since the exams will be over, I'll make sure to return with a better story and higher quality...❤ It probably isn't very interesting right now, but thank you so much for bearing with me....ㅠㅠ🥰❤🥰❤

Ah, today's TMI

Fitting for Hangeul Day, I decided to change my name today! My nickname is entirely in English, so I wanted to try changing it on a day like today... hehe. As for the last fruit, since the very last one is 'lychee,' I guess you could say it's a nickname that combines the fruit lychee... (proud) Anyway, I just wanted to say that. (wink)
