"Let's flirt, officially"
45 • How to Learn How to Distance Yourself
전정국
.... uh ? ..
Perhaps it was a sudden request, but Jeongguk's expression remained fixed.
Swish, -
The female protagonist, who was in his arms, got up from the bed and faced Jeongguk.
도여주
I completely understand what you're worried about.
도여주
So, I thought a lot about what to say...
전정국
Honestly, I wish you hadn't done it.
He leaned back on the bed and spoke with a very serious tone.
전정국
It wasn't long ago that we announced we were discontinuing, and besides, I don't want you being hounded by reporters because of me.
도여주
I wish I could quit my job.
전정국
That doesn't mean you'll quit.
His gaze, which had been looking at the ground throughout the conversation, shifted to the female protagonist.
도여주
I started working again thanks to you, so please trust me just this once, okay?
도여주
I don't want to collapse in an instant like this.
After he finished speaking, a short but long silence followed.
전정국
Honestly, I regret it.
전정국
I told you, "Aren't you thinking about starting work again?"
Because you know how hard it is,
I've been through it all, so I don't want you to be in trouble.
도여주
Could you please think positively about it? Don't think so negatively about it...
전정국
I try to smile- ] Let's talk again later, I'll think about it.
I told you we could talk again later, but it seems like you're not up for it...
. . . . .
Everyone was asleep, so I checked my phone and it was 2:12 AM.
Glance,-
When I turned to check, it seemed like Jeongguk was already asleep.
Swish, -
I got up from the bed and headed towards the living room.
slap, -
도여주
Sigh, did I bring this up for nothing?
It's only been two days since we got married, but it already feels awkward.
Feeling frustrated, I ran my hand through my hair and bit my lip.
차주희
I hope you try again at least once, even if it's hard. If you don't do it because it's hard, nothing will change.
도여주
.... Sister..
차주희
If it's really hard, I'll hold your hand and be your manager, okay?
도여주
.... thank you
도여주
...I said something for nothing, I'll apologize when Jeongguk wakes up tomorrow...
# The next day
plodding, -
전정국
Yeoju...
When I came out of the living room, I was asleep on the uncomfortable, hard sofa.
전정국
Sigh- ] Haa, I hope you didn't do that...
I took the blanket hanging on the armrest of the sofa and covered the heroine with it, then brushed away her flowing hair.
전정국
Looking at the face- ] ... You know, is this also an obsession?
전정국
Other people say I'm all crazy...
전정국
Do you feel that way too? I'm so scared that you might...
I don't know about other people, but I hope you don't see me like that.
Why am I getting so anxious?
전정국
Sigh- ] Haa, is this also because of the illness...
I took my phone out of my pocket, looked up Kim Yohan in my contacts, and called him.
전정국
- Kim Yohan.
김요한
- What brings you here? Oh, right, you said you were coming back today.
전정국
- Before that, contact Dr. Kang.
@ Dr. Kang: Psychiatrist in charge of Jeon Jungkook
김요한
- Why, did you have a seizure again?
A sigh was heard on the other end of the phone.
전정국
- No, it's just... I'm a little anxious.
김요한
- Okay, I'll call Dr. Kang to the company.
Thump, -
He puts down his phone and kisses the sleeping female protagonist's forehead.
전정국
I'll be back.
Tillyrik, -
After confirming that the hotel door was closed, the female protagonist opened her eyes, which had been closed.
도여주
..... It still hurts..
Swish, -
I hadn't thought of it.
도여주
... I'm such an idiot...
plodding, -
강우진
You called me.
전정국
Nod- ] It's urgent for various reasons.
Jeongguk, wearing a neat black suit, sat on the sofa in the middle of the CEO's office.
강우진
What's so urgent? Shall we go in?
Dr. Kang is a calm person.
전정국
I want to get better quickly, and so do the female protagonist...
전정국
Just in case, for the sake of the child who will be born in the future.
전정국
[Sigh-] Later on, I can't be obsessed with my wife and children.
강우진
That's a really good and correct idea, and I feel like the will is strong.
강우진
Shrug-] But, it's been a long time since the disease broke out, right?
전정국
So, there is no way?
강우진
Can I ask you one thing before that?
전정국
What is it?
강우진
Are you taking your medicine regularly?
전정국
I haven't missed a single day, except when I'm really busy.
Dr. Kang nodded, surprisingly satisfied.
강우진
You have to take the medicine consistently, but what's important is your mindset.
강우진
Since you're already married to your wife, you don't have to be obsessed with her anymore, right?
강우진
In other words, give your wife some freedom and do whatever she wants.
강우진
Of course, it will be difficult at first, but if you keep doing it, you will be able to completely recover.
전정국
......
I heard later that the medication only stops the seizures and doesn't do much more than that.
In other words, the problem is the mind.
전정국
Nod- ] Okay, I'll try.
강우진
Good luck, Mr. Jeon.
