Just let me love you

Episode 7 | Holding on to Faded Memories

김태형

Oh, and

김태형

I haven't been doing well.

"Just Let Me Love You"_Episode 7

As soon as I heard you say that,

I remembered_ Memories that had already withered away.

I hurt you,

You have been waiting for me until now_

I touched a deep wound in you again and made you hurt.

차여주

······.

I walked in, leaning on the Irish table, and then collapsed. I guess I must have strained my legs to walk, afraid you'd be watching.

I didn't know what to do. I just sat there, brushing my hair back and biting my fingernails.

차여주

······I'm sorry... I'm just sorry for everything···.

Gradually, my throat became blocked, and I looked around at the still empty space, trying to suppress my emotions, I just closed my eyes tightly and grabbed the thin collar of my shirt on my chest.

It was my fault.

The buried memories from 7 years ago_ flashed through my mind one morning, leaving me tormented by guilt.

This isn't why I broke up with you.

Seeing you hurt because of me made me feel so sorry.

How could I approach you so casually?

How can I, who made you suffer, do this to you?

Was that why_

A mixture of complex and subtle emotions brought about a feeling of regret and guilt towards you at the same time_ and the tears that were barely holding back in my trembling eyes finally fell,

Gradually, the sleeves became damp, as if there was no end in sight.

#7 years ago_ The last of the two_

김태형

No... how could I... without my older sister...

He turned around sharply.

It took me a long time to make that choice, but the conclusion I came to was this:

It was 'the end'.

차여주

······I ended up going far away.

A slightly fragile 'end'.

The sight of you crying so sadly tied my feet, and I finally blurted out one word.

김태형

Where are you going leaving me...

김태형

No no...

김태형

I'll wait. No matter what happens, I'll wait...

김태형

No matter how many years it takes_

차여주

stop.

You were the one who tried to extend our end a little more,

I was trying to bring that end forward.

차여주

······please.

차여주

Let's stop.

In the middle of winter, you kept biting your lips that were completely cracked, and with your trembling hands, you grabbed my collar.

김태형

Sister, you hate me...?

김태형

That can't be...

김태형

How much my older sister loved me...

As if he couldn't believe the situation, he just shook his head and looked at me, shedding a few tears.

김태형

Why are you like that... Sister...

김태형

please······.

김태형

I'll do better... I promise...

차여주

······I don't need you anymore.

It was the last word that would make you fall.

It wasn't that sincere_ that was the only way.

After hearing those words, you finally faced everything and slowly let go of the collar you had been holding onto, taking a few steps back.

김태형

······ah.

In your short words, mixed with sighs and groans,

It was filled with emptiness and despair.

You, who seemed to have lost focus and wiped away all the tears that were flowing down, spoke to me for the last time.

김태형

i'll wait···.

김태형

I need a sister...

, very small.

···

Turning back to the long, long question,

It led me to the question, “Why did we break up?”

The answer is_

It was so ordinary.

Unlike me who is an adult, you are in your late teens, facing the most important time in your life.

I just hoped that time wouldn't be wasted because of me.

So I left you.

People say that when people's bodies become distant, their hearts also become distant, so I thought things would get better with time.

I thought I forgot you, and I thought you forgot me too

The person I saw today still hasn't been able to erase me from my memory.

Maybe me too_

It made me wonder if I still had feelings for you.

···

김태형

······.

Taehyung stands in front of a black door with no pattern on it, his eyes tightly closed.

He appears to be hesitating about something, repeatedly clenching and unclenching his hands.

I had no intention of opening the door.

I had no intention of coming here in the first place.

I called her name again at the desk, checked that the room number was correct, and then_

When I came to my senses, I was in front of room 1229.

What would he be thinking by now? Would he find me annoying, or would he miss me even a little?

I hoped it would be the latter. It would make me less miserable than I am now.

But I had to stop thinking like that. If I were to open the door and come out right now...

Because I'm sure I'll be remembered as the world's most foolish man.

I turned my steps, unable to bear to fall.

With his back completely turned to the door of room 1229, he barely managed to control his trembling mind and take a step forward.

My phone, which was in my suit jacket pocket, began to vibrate. Without hesitation, I pulled it out.

It was an unsaved number. Until then, I thought it was someone contacting me for work.

I closed my eyes, cleared my throat, and answered the phone.

김태형

- Yes, this is Kim Taehyung.

I'm scared to say hello_

The voice I heard sounded quite familiar.

- "···Taehyung."

김태형

- ······Who are you...

Even before I could ask the question again, I felt like I knew who the voice belonged to.

김태형

- ······.

김태형

-······Sister.

- "Yeah... It's me."

Rather than being surprised, I was more worried by the wet voice coming from the other end of the phone.

At the same time as the voice was heard, Taehyung turned around and stared at the room where she was.

- "I have something to say..."

He was about to walk towards her room,

- "Don't come to me."

At her next words, I hesitated for a moment. After a brief moment of deliberation, I leaned my back against the hallway wall facing door 1229.

김태형

- ···Okay, I'll just listen.

After that, only the pleasant low-pitched answer echoed through the empty hallway, and no other sound remained.
