Me...
Just like any other day, after work, on my way down to the parking lot,
I frowned at the complicated path from the main building to the annex's underground parking lot...
..I was walking out of the elevator as if it was nothing, with a shallow sense of anticipation that came from the fact that I was going to meet someone.
And at the end of that road...
It was something I never expected to happen, that someone I never imagined would be waiting for me.
윤여주
윤여주
Let's have dinner together, I'll buy it
전정국
....huh..?
윤여주
..Oh, do I have to go home early..? Then I can postpone it until next time.
전정국
Uh, uh...! No....
전정국
...No no,..haha, that's something I didn't expect.....
전정국
.......
전정국
.....(Did I accidentally speak too loudly,,?)
Jeong-guk, who looks even more flustered as he sees the female protagonist looking slightly flustered at his own question asking her what she said.
He scratched the back of his head and let out a laugh as if embarrassed by his own appearance.
윤여주
....Then... shall we go out and decide...?
윤여주
N, I've been thinking about something...! ((Fluttering
전정국
.......
전정국
.....((snickers
전정국
It's okay to take it slow, haha. So don't move too quickly...
_A cool night street after the sun has set,
Two people were walking side by side on a city street thick with thick, smoky exhaust fumes.
윤여주
I, um... roughly organized it.
전정국
...? What again, ((snickers
윤여주
Food that is not too tacky, but still mid-to-upper-priced, as long as you don't drink alcohol.
윤여주
Honestly, I didn't really think of anything... But I chose a restaurant close to here.
윤여주
Turn your head towards Jeongguk))
윤여주
How about spaghetti? lol
전정국
....Ah...! ((He covers his mouth with the back of his hand for a moment
윤여주
.......!!
....What should I do...?
Maybe it was because I turned around so suddenly... I accidentally looked at it from too close.
...Is it perhaps the first time that the two of them were that close...?
The distinct facial features that caught my eye at first glance took my breath away for a moment...
The atmosphere eventually became awkward as their eyes clashed.
윤여주
.........
윤여주
......((She lets her hair fall to the side to hide her reddened cheek.
I was embarrassed.
What are people in their 20s and heading into their 30s doing?
My mind was filled with thoughts of whether I was crazy because of my rather honest feelings.
No matter how excited and heartbroken I was, I forgot for a moment that the other person was already married.
No, I guess I was just too excited at the moment.
...not only did I forget reality without a response, but I ended up in this situation...
윤여주
......((Frowns and bites his lips
윤여주
........
윤여주
.....((Glance
전정국
......
전정국
....? ((Glances at the female lead
윤여주
...ah,....
Yeah, Yoon Yeo-ju, you can just hide those feelings.
If I hide more, if I'm more careful, if I care more,
It's something I just have to not get any closer to.
.....let's not worry about useless things...
........
전정국
.......
I never thought I'd be this nervous about walking this road for just 10 minutes...
...I overreacted to a situation that I could have just let go of.
When she turned her head towards me, for some reason... the scent of shampoo stimulated my sense of smell..?
I let out a gasp of exclamation and stepped back, feeling a dizzying feeling I couldn't describe.
...Shamelessly, all I could think about was worrying about what would happen if I misunderstood...
..It seems like my worries were right in the end.....
My heart has been pounding like this more often than not lately.
I finally admitted the fact,
전정국
......
전정국
....((Stop
전정국
.........
윤여주
......?
윤여주
....jungkook jeon..?
전정국
...
전정국
Oh, ah.......
전정국
...I'm sorry... Ah, let me distract myself for a moment...
윤여주
No, haha... That's right, we'll get there in just a little bit. The weather's chilly, so let's go quickly.
윤여주
......
윤여주
Here, the price is cheap and the portions are large, lol
전정국
Really? lol
윤여주
...Because people who have been here have said that... It's probably true..?
전정국
Sigh)) That's right, there's a seat over there. I should go and sit down quickly.
윤여주
....
윤여주
...Yeah, I'm hungry ((smile
A restaurant with a classy atmosphere,
It was a place where you could tell that a lot of thought had been put into it, with slightly toned-down lighting and soft, not-too-excessive pop songs filling the entire hall.
Yeo-ju and Jeong-guk sit down after being guided by the staff.
The two people were rolling their eyes awkwardly, perhaps because of the afterglow of earlier or because they felt a pang in each other.
전정국
What are you going to do?
윤여주
Oh, me...? I just want simple tomato pasta...
윤여주
you..?
전정국
Then I'll just order the cream pasta instead, lol
전정국
.......
After choosing the menu so simply and clearly, Jeongguk looks at the menu and the female lead with a look of concern.
She was not the kind of heroine who couldn't sense the subtle atmosphere.
윤여주
......
윤여주
....Why..is there a problem..?
전정국
Huh? ..uh no.....
윤여주
If you want to order more, you can order more... but I told you to just order comfortably..? ((Sigh
전정국
.......
전정국
...I came to a restaurant... and I wanted to try the wine...
윤여주
....what? lol

윤여주
....Today's goal was to drink alcohol-free... ...but in the end, I didn't achieve my goal..? ((Sigh
전정국
Honestly, it was delicious, and it went well with the pasta... I think it was a good choice, right?
윤여주
he.....
A cool breeze swept across her flushed cheeks.
The reason I buttoned up my collar was because of the wind... Fortunately, I wasn't too drunk...
It was a feeling of being pleasantly tipsy.
윤여주
...I didn't know a glass of wine could be that much...
윤여주
Still..ㅎ I'm glad I haven't lost my mind yet,
전정국
.....
전정국
....((snickers
전정국
It wasn't just one glass...? You drank it several times? lol
윤여주
....ㅎ.. If you add all of that up, it shouldn't exceed a glass of wine....
전정국
Huh......heh
전정국
......
Jeongguk lets out a hollow laugh as he watches the female lead, whose speech is becoming increasingly slurred due to the alcohol.
The way he looked at the female protagonist with a low smile... was probably not ordinary.
전정국
I'm trying to sober up while walking... Isn't it cold?
윤여주
Huh..? It's not cold at all?
윤여주
Hey, don't worry about me, worry about yourself.
윤여주
((Squeak
전정국
Oh, oh...!
Snap))
윤여주
.......
전정국
.....
A fleeting glance,
He reached out his hand to me as I stumbled,
I grabbed that hand like a rope without realizing it.
It's crazy.
윤여주
...haha... haha... I almost fell over......(//
전정국
Where are the people who tell me to take care of myself more than myself?
윤여주
.....lol...
윤여주
......
전정국
.....
My lips became dry from the constant eye contact.
It feels like we've become something for no reason...
I find myself looking at him for no reason.
......
윤여주
........
윤여주
......(But when will I let go of this hand..?)
Have you forgotten that we're still holding hands...?
윤여주
........
윤여주
((The hand that was caught twitches slightly
Swish
Swish_
윤여주
......
윤여주
.....?!
전정국
........
Obviously, I was just moving my fingers because I was still concerned about the hand that was being held...
Long fingers that overlap each other's joints in an instant...
What are we supposed to do now...?
윤여주
.....uh,uh....
윤여주
This, this... this... what....... ((embarrassed
윤여주
......
전정국
......
His eyes met mine as I felt increasingly confused and overwhelmed by the unknown situation.
He looked at me with an indifferent gaze as if he had anticipated my wavering gaze.
As the silence continued, the clasped hands lifted.
전정국
.....
전정국
((He brings the hand he is holding to his lips.
Something slightly rough but warm touched the back of my hand.
Lips filled with emotions that could not be expressed let out a short breath on the back of the hand.
It was an unforgettable night.
