"Let's flirt, officially"

16 • I will protect you.

_ After Jungkook woke up early and went to work, Yeoju is currently worried.

I was concerned about the scars I saw yesterday, so I decided to go into the study and look through them.

도여주

... Still, isn't that something I should know? ...

Yes, so I can help.

_ The heroine, having made up her mind, headed to the study.

There was nothing particularly unusual about the study.

_ There were only a lot of documents and a ballpoint pen.

도여주

It doesn't seem like there's anything to hide...

_ Just in case, I opened the drawer and started looking through it, and inside the drawer I found a piece of paper that appeared to be a medical certificate.

도여주

Diagnosis? Where does it hurt? ...

_ After checking the diagnosis, it seemed like he had been diagnosed with many diseases.

도여주

Why are there so many? ..

There were many diagnoses written down, including love syndrome, lack of affection, hedgehog dilemma, lost bayrose syndrome, and last cut syndrome.

도여주

I understand the lack of affection, but the rest is just...

_ With a worried heart, I went into the search bar and started searching for the diagnoses one by one.

🔍 | Love Syndrome _

Love syndrome can be defined as an inexplicable anxiety about an imminent breakup, and a person infected with it unconsciously tries to escape from the anxiety by changing their behavior.

🔍 | The Hedgehog's Dilemma _

Human relationships are difficult, neither too close nor too distant. This saying compares the human state of mind to a hedgehog's inability to get close to anyone, as it injures them with its thorns when trying to get close to them.

🔍 | Lost Bayrose Syndrome _

A phenomenon in which you unconsciously lean on someone when you are having a hard time or feeling depressed, only that moment is forgotten, and later you cannot remember it at all. This symptom appears in people who pretend to be strong or trustworthy on the outside.

🔍 | Last Cut Syndrome _

Self-harm, a representative example of last-cut syndrome, is not about cutting one's wrists to die, but rather as a means to temporarily forget the painful reality. It's not about dying, but about wanting to confirm one's life... In other words, it's a syndrome characterized by a yearning for a new person.

_ It was shocking to look up the meaning of all the diseases, especially the Last Cut Syndrome, where people self-harm to feel alive... It's ridiculous.

도여주

Come to think of it, they're all... diseases related to love?

These were illnesses related to the anxiety that the person you like or the person by your side might leave you.

도여주

This won't work, I should go find my sister...

_ Suddenly, I remembered my older sister who was a specialist in psychiatry, and called her.

도여주

📞 - Hey, sis... do you have time?

도여민

📞 - Hey, heroine, what's going on?

도여주

📞 - I have a question...

도여민

📞 - Okay, let's meet up. Where should we meet up?

. . . .

도여민

Hmm...

_ Yeomin, the older sister of Yeoju, is currently checking Jeongguk's medical certificate.

도여민

So, this diagnosis is... your company's representative diagnosis?

도여주

Nod - )

도여민

By the way, you searched the study again and found this?

도여주

That's what it is...

_ Yeomin put down the medical certificate she was holding and gave Yeoju some sincere advice.

도여민

I don't know exactly what his condition is, but...

도여민

I think you are in a very dangerous situation.

도여주

what do you mean? .

도여민

So... well, how should I explain it?

_ He pointed to the diagnosis on the certificate and explained it one by one.

도여민

In cases like yours, the desire for affection is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

도여민

So, of course, he didn't receive any affection from his parents, and there's a high possibility that he was even abused.

도여주

ah ...

Somehow, there wasn't even a typical family photo at home...

도여민

But you said you were crying when we first met, right?

도여주

Oh yeah, right...

도여민

That person must have thought he was abandoned again, and in that situation, you were the one who approached him unconditionally.

도여민

There's a high chance that you're stuck in that person's head.

도여민

It may not be that bad now, but later on, I might become a monster who would do anything for you.

도여민

Well, I know you're not the type of person to do weird things, but...

도여민

And, there is a high probability that this person had a 'trauma' when he was young.

도여주

I don't know what kind of trauma it is?

도여민

I don't know, unless he tells me himself...

도여주

Can you fix it?

도여민

I think it's almost impossible.

도여민

In cases like Last Cut Syndrome, it can be cured if the person who is important to the person prevents them from continuously 'self-harming', but...

도여민

The rest of the affection-related syndromes are difficult to cure, but if they were cured, it would be a miracle...

도여민

The odds of that happening are practically zero.

도여주

Is there really no way?

도여민

If there is one...

도여민

"The probability that the person I love will love me and not leave me"

도여민

Same thing? .

도여주

Gyaut - )

도여민

Oh, you don't understand? What I mean is...

도여민

Unless the person you cherish, the person you love, takes responsibility for you for the rest of your life...

도여민

There is no way.

도여민

Even so, it's not like it's a disease that can be cured...

도여민

This kind of love-related syndrome is difficult for the person who is loved.

도여민

In the case of people like this, they feel 'obsession and possessiveness' not only towards the person they love, but also towards people like their subordinates at work.

도여민

It's probably one of the two.

도여민

Have been abandoned a lot, or have been subjected to continuous abuse...

도여민

"It could be both."

Crack, crack -

김요한

Huh? , Miss Yeoju? ...

도여주

Is the representative here?

김요한

.. Oh, there is, but...

김요한

It would be better not to go in.

도여주

What the...

Boom!! -

_ At that moment, the door to the representative office opened loudly.

최다희

Huh, who did you sit there for?

_ He looked at Dahee with rabbit eyes.

최다희

Is that you? , living with Jeon Jungkook.

도여주

however ...

Slap!! -

김요한

Surprise - ) Madam!! ...

도여주

.... ah

전정국

What are you doing?!! ...

_Jungkook ran over in a hurry and looked at Yeoju's face.

전정국

are you okay? ...

최다희

A cheeky, vixen bitch.

최다희

Who dares to open your eyes wide in front of me?!

최다희

Jeon Jungkook, isn't it because you can't behave properly that you get these vixen bitches attached to you?!!

No, the representative to that kind of person...

도여주

Mumble - ) It's a video even without watching it.

최다희

what?! .

도여주

It's funny,

도여주

If you treat strangers like this when you meet them for the first time, how much more so would you treat your own son?

최다희

This little girl...

_ He cut off Dahee before she could finish speaking and asked a question to Jeongguk.

도여주

This time, Jeon Jungkook chooses.

도여주

Can you forget that person?

_ Unlike the usual clear atmosphere, he asked quite seriously.

전정국

.... what ..

도여주

You asked me,

도여주

He asked if I had forgotten Nam Jin-hyeok, so he said he would help me.

도여주

This time I'll help you, are you sure you don't care about that guy?

_ The heroine reached out her hand and took Jeongguk's scarred hand and spoke.

도여주

Come with me.

전정국

... really? .

도여민

Let me be clear, don't say anything about taking responsibility.

도여민

Not just anyone can do that.

도여민

The reason he said he became interested in management was because he wanted to package himself.

도여민

I'm really worried about you.

도여주

I don't care.

도여주

"I will protect that person."

도여주

Yeah, really _

김요한

Shut your mouth - )

What is this situation? ...

Something, the atmosphere is completely different? ...

도여주

You don't have to be anxious.

도여주

"I will protect you."

_ After finishing speaking, the female protagonist headed outside while holding Jeongguk's hand.

최다희

This is ridiculous - ) Are you crazy?!

최다희

Secretary Kim, why aren't you catching that girl?!!

김요한

Ah, I... I need to go to the bathroom because I have to take a dump.

_ I grabbed the wet tissue and headed to the bathroom.

최다희

Ha;; , really these...

망개찐떡 작가

Let's get organized.

망개찐떡 작가

Jungkook is a victim of "domestic violence" who has been physically and mentally abused.

망개찐떡 작가

Because of this, there are many mental illnesses.

망개찐떡 작가

Although he is a child who naturally wants to receive a lot of love and gives a lot of love, he becomes obsessed with affection due to continuous abuse.

망개찐떡 작가

The syndrome you should focus on is “Last Cut Syndrome.”

망개찐떡 작가

Although it's a spoiler, Jungkook suffered severe abuse as a child, to the point of being on the verge of death, and because of that, he has a great fear of death.

망개찐떡 작가

That's how "Last Cut Syndrome" came about.

망개찐떡 작가

This syndrome confirms the existence of oneself through the pain of 'self-harm'.

망개찐떡 작가

When you feel pain, you confirm that you are alive, your anxiety disappears, and you feel relieved.

망개찐떡 작가

The female protagonist, who learned the meaning of this, decides to protect Jeong-guk.

망개찐떡 작가

That's all for now, and later I'll explain the characters and the details here and there.

망개찐떡 작가

Touching is mandatory, it's good manners _

망개찐떡 작가

Please give me a call.
