Just let me love you

Episode 5 | Become a Part of Me_ Disappearing

김태형

Finally, the suite was filled_

김태형

Could you tell me the name of our precious customer number 1229?

"Just Let Me Love You"_ Episode 5

"If you say that now, it's out of the question."

At the unexpected employee's reply, the man takes his arm off the desk and takes a step back from the employee.

김태형

Is that not possible?

"If you know the customer's name, what are you going to use it for?"

김태형

I am a guest at this hotel.

김태형

I want to go there and provide you with a proper service.

He shrugged his shoulders as if to ask why something so obvious was being asked, and a leisurely smile appeared on his lips.

"The service part is what we provide"

"There's no need to know the customer's personal information, such as their name, and the manager doesn't have to worry about it either. Hehe."

김태형

It's quite disappointing. I can't even get involved in customer service.

At the playful tone of the employee's words, the man slowly leaned his upper body forward and rested his chin on the desk again.

"What else do you want to ask me for?"

김태형

···It's not a request, but let's start the late meeting_ It's about time.

In order not to be caught crying, she had been straining her eyes in front of her employees, but now she has let them go. Instead of looking at her employees, she just stares blankly into the distance.

"...Manager?"

He said he wanted to have a meeting, but he was staring into the distance with half-open eyes and showed no sign of moving.

The employees looked at each other and after much deliberation, cautiously waved their hands in front of his eyes.

김태형

···yes.

"The meeting... is about to begin."

김태형

······ah.

김태형

That's right - only two people remain at the front and the rest follow.

The employees who had only just now noticed his suspicious behavior just exchanged glances as if they had no idea what was going on.

김태형

······.

His face, which had been filled with gentleness just a few minutes ago, gradually darkened, and his expression became strangely hard.

Because I turned around and took the first step, the employees didn't notice.

This man's appearance today must have felt particularly unfamiliar. He looked very different from usual.

"What's wrong?"

"What I'm saying is, it was strange that someone who usually comes on time was late."

"Besides, my condition today doesn't seem to be... good."

"I know."

"I'm worried. He's not usually like that."

···

"There are three wedding ceremonies taking place at our wedding hall today, and one just concluded."

"There are twenty...two weddings scheduled this month. Oh, and there's a chance that more will be booked."

"I try not to schedule anything around the same time. All the ingredients for the buffet this time are..."

"Furthermore, most of our hotel's regular VIP customers are celebrities, and it seems necessary to open a membership program through this meeting."

김태형

······wait for a sec.

"Yes, go ahead."

Nothing made sense. I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't forget your cold expression_

The fleeting moment that keeps coming to mind_

김태형

sorry.

김태형

I'll make room for you, you guys are resting.

It was enough to fill me with confused emotions.

When I put my head back, which is pounding with thoughts that keep coming to mind, and step onto the rooftop floor_

"Hello, General Manager. What's going on on the outdoor terrace..."

I stopped walking as the employee bowed his head and greeted me as if he had been waiting.

김태형

···It's nothing special, I'm just planning to stay for a while

김태형

Just block people from entering.

김태형

So that I can be alone.

···

It was never good_ feeling alone in this place.

As I looked at the sky covered with low dark clouds that looked like they might rain at any moment, a corner of my heart ached for no reason_ and the loneliness that followed was doubled.

김태형

······.

I didn't know that the moments when I feel miserable about myself could be this scary.

I was waiting for someone and was devoting all my time to that person_

What on earth are you hoping for?

Her mind_ or interest.

If not that_

Do you just feel resentment about something that happened in the past?

I was really happy once, but when I met you today_

I was no longer in your eyes.

I thought about it and didn't even expect it, but when the reality that comes up against a person's fictitious wish completely diverges,

The person falls apart, pathetically.

As I sat there blankly, I heard some rather annoying footsteps behind me. And they were very slow.

김태형

······ha.

김태형

······I told you not to let anyone in.

It was either an employee or a hotel guest, no doubt. Even their hesitant footsteps resonated on the floor as they listened to me.

김태형

···Will you please go out?

I didn't want to say anything else. I just wanted you to listen.

The footsteps that had been quiet right behind me were no longer audible. This must mean they had stopped.

김태형

I told you to leave...

I, who couldn't do anything, got up from my seat and turned around. I wondered if there was someone who had something to say to me.

김태형

······.

김태형

······Cha Yeo-ju.

The person who approached me was none other than,

you.

차여주

······.

The country became a part of existence_

And then disappear,

The person who broke me down.

You, who had been avoiding me until just a moment ago, are standing in front of me, saying you are sorry.

김태형

······.

You, too, stood still, as if you hadn't realized it was me, and looked up at me. Your expression didn't change at all.

김태형

······Here···.

김태형

how······.

Perhaps you were hesitating again, unable to say what you wanted to say. You shook your head slightly from side to side as if trying to avoid me again, and took a step back.

Because if not now, I felt like I'd never get another chance. And if I just stood there and watched you turn away like before, it felt like it would become a burden on my heart that I'd never be able to erase.

Your hand, which was tightly clenched and trembling,

Got it.

김태형

······don't go.

김태형

···with me.

김태형

Tell me a story... please.

++ After the exam is over, I will try to do one serial per day😳 Now that the two of us have met, I will come back with a more fun and longer story from the next episode:) Thank you for always waiting🤍
