Maginot Line with you
[Episode 18] Everyone has their own circumstances



- .....


전정국
- ....hello.?


백시혜
ah,


Was it because I was overcome with emotion at the sound of his voice over the phone?

Unable to control the emotions that were welling up in me, a short voice escaped my lips.


What should I do with my heart pounding over just one phone call?


She was holding the phone to one ear and touching the corner of her mouth with the other hand, trying to control her emotions.





전정국
- ....


전정국
- What's going on? ...Why are you calling all of a sudden?


백시혜
- Ah, uh... it's nothing special.....


백시혜
- .....Are you very busy?


전정국
- Uh... Not really? I was just getting the report confirmed. But... why?


백시혜
- Today.... my dad called to ask me to have dinner... haha


전정국
- ..Father..?



백시혜
- Yeah.. haha, you said you wanted to see our faces after a long time...


전정국
- Then where will we meet?


전정국
(( He clears the desk while supporting the cell phone with his shoulder.


백시혜
- Oh, that's_


백시혜
- That, that sushi place we've been to a few times before.


전정국
...((Stop



전정국
- ....


전정국
- ...there..?


백시혜
- Oh, yeah.. haha I was told to make a reservation for a time that was convenient for me, so I was going to ask you.


전정국
- ah...


전정국
.....


The slightly high-pitched, but not too bright, voice coming from the other end of the phone made me think more than I expected.



전정국
- ....even though you know I don't eat raw fish well...


I have to reveal my weaknesses with my own mouth,


My sincere apologies for that...



..Again, why do I have to listen...?





백시혜
- I'm really sorry... Really... Should I call Dad again and ask him to change it?


전정국
- No, ....don't you have to...



전정국
- Just go. Your father must have told you to go there because he was thinking of you.


백시혜
- .....still....


전정국
- Oh, and if you arrive in front of the company by 6:30, that should be enough, right?


백시혜
- ...Huh? Oh, yeah..! If you tell me a time that's convenient for you, I can go by then.


전정국
- Okay, then.....


전정국
- ......



백시혜
- Should I hang up?


전정국
- Yeah...? Hehe


백시혜
- No... I just... I've finished what I wanted to say... haha


전정국
- ah,



전정국
- Okay, then


백시혜
- ....huh,


백시혜
- I'll hang up.

Stop

Stop))



전정국
..


전정국
ha.....


After hanging up the phone, a moment later, Jeongguk looked at his now-clean desk, one hand on his temple.

After a short sigh, he looked around for a moment and then picked up his cell phone again.


If there's one difference...

..arbitrarily...?






이지오
Miss Yeoju, I came to tell the boss about our decision.


윤여주
Oh really...?


윤여주
Haha, thank you


_

_Now the sun is slowly setting outside the window,

He naturally approached the female lead, who was busy moving around in various ways and helping close the cafe, and started talking to her.



이지오
The boss said, let's have a quick after-party to celebrate...


이지오
Miss Yeoju, do you have time?


이지오
....Ah,..you said you were going with a friend...?


윤여주
.....


윤여주
I got a call earlier saying I couldn't go with you today.


이지오
Oh really...? What's going on all of a sudden...?


윤여주
..just...haha, suddenly a family gathering was scheduled


이지오
I see....


윤여주
Oh, Mr. Geo. The sign isn't up yet, is it? Haha. I'll go get it down.


이지오
Yes...? If I have to... can I do it?


The female protagonist opens the cafe door and walks out with a surprisingly quick pace, unlike the man who is holding her with a loud voice.

The clear sound of the bell ringing in the hall faded away, and I quietly watched her folding the sign beyond the glass window.

He soon turned his head and went about his business.





윤여주
.....


I felt so excited.

Even though I know there is no reason for me to feel that way,


..It's like being hit with the nail on the head with a truth I wanted to hide..?


As if a rock had settled down in a damp mood like the weather, I fell down endlessly.

As expected, the feeling of discomfort that had been there since earlier kept whining like a child.


...please take a look at me,




윤여주
......


윤여주
....((Looking at the company on the opposite side of the ship, using the folded sign as a support


Is it a coincidence or just a wild prank?

At the very moment I was looking there, a familiar silhouette began to appear.


The sight of someone entering the company wearing a very fancy one-piece dress,

The silhouette vaguely visible between the revolving doors is probably the person I'm thinking of.


.....If you look at it one way, it's a perfectly normal relationship, no... it was supposed to be like that from the beginning....

..what am I doing to be so rude....



윤여주
.....


윤여주
It's not even my part-time job...




_

_Okay, this song selection! This song was recommended by 0613.

_Ah- This song has a mood that fits well with this slightly cloudy weather!


_Let me tell you about BTS's House of Cards!



A car came up from the underground parking lot with its taillights on as usual.

The radio was playing as background music, with people talking nonchalantly to themselves, and the quiet atmosphere made even the people inside feel awkward.




백시혜
Do you often listen to the radio when you drive?


전정국
Huh? Uh, no... ..just sometimes when I hear the news or something...


백시혜
ah.....



백시혜
That's really great, lol. I can't concentrate when I listen to that while driving... lol


전정국
....,he



A meaningless conversation was taking place, and a car stopped at a traffic light in front of a company.

Jungkook turns his head for a moment to look out the window, illuminated by the red light of the traffic light.


Si-hye, who had been glancing at him as he stared out the window without saying anything, lowered her head and looked out the window with him.



백시혜
Hey, what's in that cafe?


전정국
Huh...?


백시혜
No... I kept staring at you since earlier...



백시혜
But is it already closed there? It closes a lot earlier than I thought...


전정국
...I see... He's already gone......


백시혜
huh?


전정국
...Uh... no, since coworkers often go there, I wonder if it closes when they get off work?


백시혜
Is that so.....?



전정국
.....


Inside a car with a blue tint,

He took his eyes off the window and took hold of the steering wheel again.





전정국
....



전정국
...but is the musk scent a new perfume you bought?


백시혜
huh....?


전정국
No, I just wanted to smell something off of you...


백시혜
Oh, really...? I didn't really feel it..(//


전정국
......


백시혜
But what is the musk scent..?


전정국
...?



전정국
musk,


전정국
It's a scent that's often used as a men's perfume, but it has a warm and cozy feel.



전정국
..It's a scent that I often smell in my room, and I enjoy using it too...ㅎ


백시혜
ah......


백시혜
....


전정국
.......







백시혜
dad!

필요한역/??
Oh, okay, Sihye_


전정국
....


전정국
...((bow

필요한역/??
Ah, long time no see_


전정국
......



The neatly arranged sashimi on the table made my mouth feel a little rough.

I'm not bragging, but I don't normally enjoy eating raw fish, so whenever we have meetings like this, I usually skip dinner.


As expected, these are trivial stories centered around her and her father.

It was when I started to find it quite funny that I was answering with a smile on my face, trying to distinguish between what I should and shouldn't do.



전정국
.....

Jieeeeing

Jiiing-



전정국
....?


백시혜
what's the matter..?


전정국
Ah... I think I got a text message.

필요한역/??
If it's important, you can go out for a bit. Well, you can report it to me right away, though_ hehe.


전정국
Ah, huh...



전정국
.....



윤여주
I got the estimate for the house I'm moving into. I asked for the move to be done as quickly as possible... Oh, and I'm sorry if I texted you during a difficult time.


전정국
....


필요한역/??
Is it important?


전정국
...Oh, no... It's personal.


전정국
Later.. haha I think we can contact each other separately

필요한역/??
Yeah, that... the timing wasn't very good-


전정국
.....lol,


전정국
....




I just received the estimate for the house I'm moving into. I asked for the move to be done as quickly as possible... Oh, and I'm sorry if I texted you during a difficult time.

윤여주
.......


윤여주
....As expected..it was a difficult situation.........



윤여주
Ha... Yoon Yeo-ju is crazy... What are you texting me about...


윤여주
...


The female protagonist was leaning against the bed and holding her cell phone.

He let out a long sigh and pushed the phone to the floor, covering it.

To get away from yourself.


But that was only for a moment,

Even that phone stopped working because of the messy house with boxes scattered everywhere...



윤여주
......


윤여주
....Yeah, well...


Each person has their own circumstances, so there can be many different things...




As I stepped outside, the cold night air swept through my lungs.

It's been a long time since my drunk father called a surrogate and brought him home.


It was Jeong-guk who stopped Si-hye, who was trying to get into the passenger seat of the car with slightly unsteady steps, by calling her over.





전정국
...Do you have any plans this weekend?


백시혜
..promise.....?


백시혜
No... nothing in particular...


전정국
....Oh.. Really?


백시혜
Uh, huh..why.?



전정국
Well, I think my friend is going to move around that time, so I'm going to help him.


백시혜
Oh really? You're moving now...


전정국
...Oh, by the way, I was wondering if you had any plans..


백시혜
..he



백시혜
Go and come back. You might as well stay overnight while you're at it.


전정국
? That much?


백시혜
Why- moving is so hard, why don't you two have a drink and sleep over for a day?


전정국
Ah.... haha



전정국
....I don't know if I can do that..ㅎ
