It's my turn now, baby.

[ 35 ] Regained peace

++ Hello everyone!!! Let's say hello later at the end, but since you probably won't remember the content of the previous episode, please read the previous episode once. 🥰🥰 ((I read the previous episode because I didn't remember it myself))

구여주

...ah,-h

I guess I can't help but feel a surge of emotion welling up in me. Even as I groan, the overwhelming emotion welling up from deep within my chest is something I can't quite put into words.

My favorite environment, my favorite moment, with my favorite people. It was the most perfect moment of all.

I cautiously took a step toward him. Taehyung, confident yet unable to hide his nervous expression. And the woman who was immersed in his eyes.

Taehyung is probably really curious about what the female protagonist is thinking right now. He thought she'd accept it right away, but since she's taking so long, Taehyung must be wondering what she's thinking.

구여주

Honestly, I thought I wouldn't be impressed because I knew it.

구여주

Hearing it directly... it's better.

구여주

Thank you for telling me first.

The female lead was smiling comfortably towards Taehyung with a pretty crescent smile.

Taehyung hugs her tightly. Perhaps because the fruit of their long-standing relationship is even more beautiful, he feels even more affectionate.

I just felt the scent of each person, and the scent of each other, cold and faint, lingering on the snowflakes, made a corner of my heart feel stable.

The door opened to a bar that seemed to have quite a good atmosphere. The female protagonist, looking slightly excited as she opened the door, looked around twice, then quickly led Taehyung to come.

He kept his gaze fixed on the heroine, and was led into the bar by her hand, the corners of her lips still dangling prettily from her ears.

The two of them took a seat in a corner. She was thrilled, as if she had never been to a place like this before and was excited to be with Taehyung. She stared at him, unsure of what to do.

Yeoju, would you like some alcohol?

구여주

Just something...

“I can do it.” Taehyung chuckled at her bold answer, then looked at the employee and ordered, “Two Cosmopolitans, please.”

(*It's just a cocktail name...! It's not something special, it's just alcohol... maybe. I don't know much about alcohol either 🙄)

• • •

구여주

......and.

김태형 image

김태형

delicious?

As soon as the alcohol arrived, the heroine's heart fluttered at first at the pretty color. Then, her heart fluttered again at the sweetness of the drink, which was as sweet as a soft drink. She was amazed when she found that the cocktail, which she had never tried before, suited her taste.

He didn't even look at his own alcohol, but when the female protagonist looked cheerful after drinking the cocktail, he smiled brightly as if he was pleased.

Since when did I start liking you this much? At this rate, everyday life would be impossible... I love you so much that the past few years without you seem meaningless. You're so pretty.

구여주

It's like a drink, a drink.

구여주

It's like a drink with a little bit of alcohol in it... Anyway, it's delicious!

김태형 image

김태형

No matter what, alcohol is alcohol. You'll get hooked later, you.

구여주

Hey- It's okay!

It's okay. The more cocktails you have, the faster you get drunk. I wonder if she heard what I said, and she's drinking it in sips, so I wonder if I should stop her...

"You like it so much, what can I do? How can I possibly win against you?" I thought, watching you slurp, the alcohol in front of you pale in comparison. "You're pretty, you're eating well. Even though it's alcohol."

구여주

......But, there is something-!

김태형 image

김태형

Yes, my lady.

구여주

......Mister-

구여주

Since when have you been speaking informally to me?

김태형 image

김태형

......uh?

"Since when have you been speaking informally to me?" he asked me, and all I could think was, "...Oh, he's drunk."

Before I knew it, Yeoju's glass was empty, and she must have gotten drunk quickly because she drank too quickly. The dim lighting made it hard to see clearly, but her face seemed quite red...

김태형 image

김태형

......That story about being a good drinker was a lie.

Who said he drinks well? ... Didn't he act like this at a college drinking party? There must be guys in college too, and when I think about it, it makes me feel a bit annoyed, but...

(Taehyung only) I was wondering if Taehyung would like the female lead who was more cute. In the end, the one you like is me.

By the way, you kept mumbling something... I couldn't understand what you were saying, so I moved closer to you. Your mumbling was loud enough that I could hear it in my ears.

구여주

Since when... have you stopped talking to me, Kim Taehyung... Huh?

구여주

No... If you think about it - you were speaking informally to me from the moment I first saw you... Huh?

구여주

I mean... I'm not exactly polite, but I do have some basic manners...

김태형 image

김태형

When you drink, you become more honest. Yeoju.

구여주

......what?

김태형 image

김태형

Cute things become twice as cute.

구여주

That one too... well. It doesn't look bad!

구여주

Not as good as our Kim Taehyung though.

김태형 image

김태형

...huh?

What the hell was that? Talking about Taehyung to Taehyung right in front of him. It was a really funny situation.

The female protagonist covered her mouth and said, "Ugh... Oh, right. I shouldn't pretend to know that." Then she turned her head away from Taehyung again, as if she was holding some kind of top secret.

김태형 image

김태형

...Huh lol

I bet your body was trembling because you wanted to pretend to know. Really.

When the female protagonist, who was looking ahead, couldn't control her body and lowered her head, Taehyung lightly supported her forehead with one hand.

Then he gently wrapped his arms around one shoulder, preventing the heroine from leaning to the other side. Then he made her settle into his embrace.

구여주

Ugh...

김태형 image

김태형

Shall we go, Yeoju?

Then he carefully lifted the female protagonist, who had been sitting down. He placed one of her arms on his shoulder and lightly wrapped his arms around her waist.

Taehyung chuckled as the female lead continued to unintentionally dig into his arms. "You little thing. You keep digging in everywhere. You don't know how dangerous men are."

So, I hugged Yeo-ju and roughly paid the bill at the bar before leaving. More important than the bill was making sure Yeo-ju was taken care of and didn't get lost.

김태형 image

김태형

Chacha-

They say drunk people double their weight. Why are you so light? Anyway, I said you're thin.

Taehyung, muttering to himself, opened the car door, carefully placed his hand behind his head to make sure he didn't hit it anywhere, and placed him in the passenger seat.

You sleep so soundly that you wouldn't even notice if someone snatched you away. It's been a while since we've been together, and it's annoying that the female lead is sleeping for such a long time, but...

Even watching her sleep was beautiful. I decided to be content. Now, all that remained were the days we'd spend together.

He lightly kissed her forehead as she slept soundly, closed the passenger door, and sat down in the driver's seat.

김태형 image

김태형

...ah.

김태형 image

김태형

I don't know Yeoju's house.

Is it the same house? Or is it near the school?

"Now all I have to do is set off, but I don't know where I'm going." Taehyung sighed with a smile, then took the wheel for a moment, fidgeting with his fingers as he pondered.

Then, he turned his gaze towards Yeoju once more, started the car, and headed somewhere.

The place we arrived at with a squeaking sound was none other than Taehyung's house.

Now, it seemed like he lived in a pretty fancy house, as befitting the head of a major fashion company.

김태형 image

김태형

......

김태형 image

김태형

...Yeah, I don't know his house.

김태형 image

김태형

Fair enough. Is there anywhere a girl could sleep alone?

김태형 image

김태형

......

Well, it's not safe even though it's my home.

Taehyung shook his head, feeling quite ashamed of himself for suggesting something to himself without anyone having scolded him.

Let's not think about anything else. We had no choice but to come here.

After getting out of the car and opening the passenger door, he carefully performed a princess hug so as not to wake the female protagonist, then roughly closed the car door and headed inside the house.

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

hello?

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

Wow... It's been a while, hasn't it? This is the first time since Lunar New Year.

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

I'm doing pretty well as a middle school student! I'm still buried in my studies, but...

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

Oh, why are you talking about something else after starting the conversation...?

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

...Huh. Sorry, it's been a while, I'm excited to see you.

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

Well, it may or may not be good news, but I don't think it's a comeback... (?)

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

Actually, I'm touched by the people who consistently support this work...🥺

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

I thought you might find it a bit boring because it was a story with a lot of sweet potatoes, but I'm so grateful that you liked it more than I thought!!!

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

Well... it's not a complete comeback! Actually, I'm a little scared to come back.

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

I don't want to rush back and be irresponsible, and I'm the one who ends up stressed. I'll think about it a bit more and make a decision. You'll respect my choice, right? 😉😻

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

If you're okay with a monthly series... I'd be willing to keep writing. (No conscience)

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

Anyway! I'll come see you sometimes. I'll think about it some more and decide whether or not to return. 😉😖

톨앤핸섬영앤리치 image

톨앤핸섬영앤리치

I won't ask you to wait for my work. I'll just come by every now and then when you feel like you've forgotten about me. I know you probably won't remember me today, but I hope you enjoyed it 💖

※ Summary: It's so nice to see you after such a long time. Waralalala I'm not back completely, but I came to say thank you. I might come back, or I might not...🙄 I'll visit you sometimes 😉💖

🌸 Sonting 🌸
