_ Late afternoon,

_ Bright sunlight streamed through the curtains, illuminating the face of the female protagonist lying on the bed.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
.... Haa, then that's right..

_ I turned on my phone and checked, and there were 99 missed calls.

I guess you were on the phone all night.

Last night, after witnessing my boyfriend cheating

I'm currently 'undercover' with my boyfriend.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
Bad guy...

It's been a week since I came back to Korea after studying abroad in the US for two years.

The first thing I saw upon entering was none other than my boyfriend cheating _


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
eww .. !

_ I got up from the bed and stretched my arms.

And then a thought suddenly occurs to me _


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
...this time, absolutely not, just don't let it go.

It's unfair, only for me.

_ I got up from bed and headed to the kitchen.

slurp, -

_ I opened the refrigerator door, poured water into a glass, and brought it to my lips, and the doorbell rang again.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
...Aren't you bored?

_ I checked my phone and it wasn't my boyfriend, it was 'Woo Do-hwan'.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
What, did you know I came to Korea? ...

_ I put down the glass and answered Do-hwan's call.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ - Hello?


์ฐ๋ํ
๐ - You came to Korea?

This, human...

If you look closely, it's like a total ghost...


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ - Yeah, oppa, I came to Korea.

_ This man, 'Woo Do-hwan', was close to the female protagonist since childhood.


์ฐ๋ํ
๐ - Let's see each other's faces for a long time.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ - Me, good.


์ฐ๋ํ
๐ - When do you want to meet?


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ - I'm currently unemployed, so anytime.

_ I went abroad to study for two years to get something, but in the end, all I got was a cheating boyfriend.


์ฐ๋ํ
๐ - Okay, I'll leave a message then.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
๐ - Yeah, see you later.

Thump, -

_ A text message that comes flying in as soon as I hang up the phone call.

[ใ ก XX Restaurant, 8 PM.]


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
This guy goes to a restaurant just to eat...


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
Well, what would I know?

_ I used to be a very successful fitting model, and I am currently making a living with the money I saved up back then.

He doesn't have much wealth, so he seems to be quite comfortable.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
At 8 o'clock...

์คํ 6:33
_ I turned my phone screen back on and checked the time.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
If you prepare now, you'll have more time.

_ After entering the bathroom, I untied my hair and put the pajamas I was wearing in the laundry basket.

Shaa, -


. . .


_ After finishing my shower, I went to the mirror and checked my face.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
Am I that bad that you would cheat on me...

These days, I'm not feeling very well mentally.

Because of that incident, my self-esteem dropped a lot.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
.... Don't worry about it. It just makes you feel bad.

Swish, -

_ I pulled up a chair, sat down in front of the vanity, and started putting on makeup.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
But it's a restaurant, so I guess I have to put in some effort, right?

_ I put on some makeup, but not too much, picked out some appropriate clothes, put them on, and stood in front of the full-length mirror.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
.. I wish I was a little taller.

These days, I have a lot of useless thoughts.


โข โข โข โข


Crack, crack -

_ The weather was unusually bad today.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
...It's raining heavily.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
It was a good thing I went to the convenience store and bought it.

_ I was about to continue on my way when something caught my ankle.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
...Why are you standing there like that?

_ It was none other than a man sobbing in the rain.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
It must be cold...

Now that I think about it, it really might have been fate...

An idea comes to mind.

Knock knock, -


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
hey? ...

_ I approached the man with an umbrella, sat down, and put the umbrella over him as he sobbed.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
If I stay here like this, I'll catch a cold...

Swish, -

_ The man raised his head.



์ ์ ๊ตญ
... who are you?.

The moment I raised my head, I was startled.

why?.

He's so handsome _


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
No, I was just a passerby...

_ Judging by the way she speaks while stuttering, the female protagonist seems quite flustered.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
If you stay here, you'll catch a cold....



์ ์ ๊ตญ
.....


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh, over there....

_ When Jungkook didn't answer, the moment he was about to put his hand on her shoulder...

slap, -


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
Hey!!, wake up! ..

_ I lost consciousness and collapsed.


. . .


+
Are you your girlfriend?


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
No. I was just... passing by..

+
It's hypothermia. I think it's because you've been out in the rain for a long time.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh... Really?

Glance, -

_ I looked down at Jeong-guk, who was lying on the bed with his head held high.

+
It would be best to rest for the time being.


๋์ฌ์ฃผ
thank you

_ After the doctor left the room, Yeo-ju took out her cell phone from her handbag and left a text message for Do-hwan.

[Oppa, I'm sorry. Something urgent came up, so I won't be able to make it. I'll buy you something delicious next time.]

Send _

Send

Send _

Tiring, -

_ I took out my phone and checked the message.

[ - Oppa, I'm sorry. Something urgent came up, so I won't be able to make it. I'll buy you something delicious next time. ]


์ฐ๋ํ
... It's like this again this time.

This was the beginning of our story.
