It's my turn now, baby.
[ 36 ] You are my existence.
김태형
...Whew-
Taehyung gently put the female protagonist, who was sleeping on the bed oblivious to the world, down.
As if he couldn't believe that he had come this far, he let out a brief, empty laugh and then stared at the female protagonist who was sleeping as if it were her own home.
김태형
...Oh, good night. I don't know who's speeding.
Taehyung sat on the edge of the bed and gently smoothed the woman's tangled hair, cautiously trying to avoid waking her up from the subtle moonlight streaming in through the window.
And then he says, "Good night, heroine. See you tomorrow." He covers her with a blanket and leaves. She won't be cold because of the thick clothes on top, but it's still the first time he's invited someone into his home.
Taehyung smiled as he thought about the surprise the heroine would have tomorrow, but he also had to go to work tomorrow. With that smile, he headed to the living room.
The next morning. As the sun was slowly rising, a rustling sounded from the bedside, and soon a face popped out from under the covers.
She was still half asleep, her eyes squinted open, and her mind was probably working hard to imagine the unfamiliar surroundings she would encounter upon waking up.

So... I was drinking with an old man yesterday...
What did I do next? I don't remember anything after that.
All I remember is probably the color of the cocktail I had back then. No matter how hard I try to remember it, I can't remember it. I didn't do something wrong yesterday, right?
...By the way, where am I? Only now did she feel a sense of unease about the place, and even though she wondered, "What is this... What is this...", no answer came. A familiar scent wafted from somewhere nearby, piercing Yeoju's nose.
From the blanket, the pillow, the bed sheets, and even the room itself. A familiar scent lingers, and I press the blanket to my nose, sniffing to recall it.
구여주
......Write, what is it?
구여주
I've smelled this scent somewhere before...
김태형
What are you doing, sticking your nose in there?
김태형
If you wanted to see me that much, you should have come out and hugged me.
구여주
Yeah, right...
구여주
Yeah, right...
구여주
Oh, really?...Huh?!
구여주
Huh...? Huh...? Huh...? Why are you there...?
구여주
Uh... Uh... So......
What the hell. Did I come to your house? Oh, I got hit by that old lady from yesterday. What the hell did I do to get here...? We've only been dating for a day...?
This...isn't this progressing too fast? The words she should have been saying inside suddenly spill out, reaching Taehyung's ears. Yeoju curses and reproaches herself, and Taehyung can't laugh out loud, so he just mumbles under his breath.
Ah, so cute. How long has it been since I've smiled like this in the morning? Unlike Yeo-ju, whose mind was racing, Tae-hyung looked at her leisurely. Anyway, Yeo-ju hasn't changed at all.
김태형
Right? The progress was a bit fast.
구여주
...Huh...? Huh......? What did I just hear......
구여주
No... No, that guy who drinks alcohol and stuff... Huh? No, I'm not that kind of person...
김태형
What are you doing after drinking?
구여주
No... you know... that kind of... uh...
Then, if a man and a woman who were dating after drinking were together in the same house the next day, wouldn't they be suspicious...? I really wanted to ask that, but I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud.
Taehyung looked at the female protagonist, who was letting her imagination run wild, and leaned against the wall, smiling as if he was interested.
구여주
...I'll just get straight to the point.
김태형
Yeah, ask.
구여주
......
구여주
...we did it?
김태형
You're a more cheerful girl than you look, Lady Gu.
김태형
You want to do it? If you want to, you can do it now.
구여주
Oh... no?!?!?! Are you crazy?!?!
김태형
You know what I'm going to do, you're crazy.
Hahahahaha... What the...? The female lead, who felt even more embarrassed, tightly closed her eyes and covered her face, and Taehyung swallowed a laugh inwardly.
The teasing is quite enjoyable. Perhaps Kim Taehyung is the only one teasing Yeoju. Actually, I came to pick you up because I thought you woke up to feed Yeoju... But I can't go now.
Anyway, if you're awake, come out. Let's eat. Taehyung, who was in good condition since morning thanks to Yeoju, smiled brightly at Yeoju and left the room. Yeoju also watched the door close again and paused for a few seconds.
구여주
Aaaah!!! That crazy bitch, you bastard.
구여주
Why are you saying, "Did you do it there?" you idiot... Ah, I can't see the old man's face.
It is said that he performed a blanket kick.
Phew. After calming down her flustered mind a little, the female lead came out to the kitchen, looked around a bit, and then turned towards Taehyung.
When Taehyung saw Yeoju come out, he smiled and told her to sit down. Someone was on the verge of humiliation, yet she was so calm. "Ah, really." Yeoju cleared her throat, pulled up a chair, and sat down. She took a spoonful of the soup in front of her to soothe her upset stomach.
구여주
Oh, as expected.
김태형
How does it taste? Is it okay?
구여주
What can I say? It hurts my mouth to say it's delicious.
"Thank goodness." He smiled proudly and finally began to take a spoonful himself.
Even though it was just the two of them in that spacious house, it was filled with comfort. A warmth never before seen permeated Taehyung's chilly home. Their love was warm.
구여주
Oh, but there is something.
김태형
Yeah, there is.
구여주
Sir, do you not have to go to work?
김태형
Yeah, you don't have to.
구여주
lie.
김태형
It's true.
"Hey, what if the worker doesn't show up for work?" the female protagonist said firmly, putting down her spoon with a "thud." (In reality, it was more like she was pretending to be firm.)
Taehyung looked at Yeoju at the sound of the knock. I can't believe it when she says it's real.
구여주
If you don't do as you please just because you're the representative, you can't be used.
김태형
Since I'm the representative, I can't do whatever I want.
Anyway, really. I won't give a single word. The female protagonist shook her head as if she couldn't stop Taehyung from saying that. Taehyung just shrugged.
"Do I really not have to go?" Taehyung must have heard Yeoju mumbling, as he stroked her hair as if to say it was okay. Yeoju smiled faintly, as if she was happy with her slightly disheveled hair.
The two of them left after eating a quick breakfast prepared by Taehyung. They didn't miss a single moment of walking side by side, holding hands tightly.
Taehyung didn't have work to do, and Yeoju was about to quit school. No one suggested a date, but the weather was nice, so they went out.
구여주
Wow, the weather is so niceㅡ
김태형
Yeah, maybe because it's sunny, it's not that cold.
구여주
Heh, it'll be even prettier in spring, right? With the cherry blossoms blooming-
김태형
Let's go see the flowers together then too.
김태형
It'll be so pretty, I guarantee it.
구여주
Great! Let's go out together and eat delicious food.
구여주
Ah! Should we go to the beach in the summer? It's kind of funny talking about summer plans in the winter.
김태형
Yeah, good. Everything is good.
Let's do it together. With me. Taehyung tightened his grip on her hand and placed a light kiss on her forehead. The cold scent hit her, but she smiled warmly, belying the chill.
Was love always this warm? Our past lives, once cold and damp, seemed colorless, now illuminated by each other's presence.
We were so similar, and you were the one who embraced my flaws. That's what you were. No matter what I was to you, you were a refuge to me.
Okay. As long as you guys are warm, I'll take care of the cold.
