Episode 2] When I Want to Let Go of Everything I Have in My Hands

"Team Leader! Please review this."

''Is this the right thing to do here?''

''What is your expected income this month, Team Leader Jeon?''

Jeon Jeong-guk, Team Leader, Marketing Department, JS Trade

This is the name I earned while living in this world.

It was my name, my abilities,

The standard by which people judge a person...

In a company that only has black and white,

The country had to be perfect to make its presence felt.

I did not give my successor any more affection than a mutual relationship.

I tried very hard to appear to my superiors as a no-nonsense successor.

That was the life I lived

bang))

전정국

....Haa... ((Sits down as if collapsing on a chair

_His office,

He came in, closing the thick door behind him, and walked with long strides, leaning against my chair in the room.

After loosening the tie that was choking his neck with a somewhat rough movement, he looked at his watch and saw that it was 9:00 PM.

It's too late for an ordinary office worker to be at work,

He looked around his office for a moment, let out a short sigh, and then picked up his suit jacket and left the office.

_Company lobby

필요한역/??

Oh, Team Leader Jeon_ Are you leaving work?

전정국

.....?

전정국

...Oh, yeah..

He seemed uncomfortable with the employee who was trying to be friendly and spoke to him, but he gave a short answer and avoided eye contact.

필요한역/??

It's been a while since you've been home, huh?

필요한역/??

You haven't been able to come home at all these days because you've been busy, right? For about three days, right?

필요한역/??

Your wife must be upset,

전정국

.......

Whoosh))

Finally, Jeong-guk left the lobby, pretending not to hear the temple's words directed at him.

Actually, it was a house I moved into after three days.

But he wasn't happy because he had been taking care of all his food, clothing, and shelter at the hotel.

It's not because I want to go home now, but because I have to.

전정국

......

전정국

I haven't contacted you...

전정국

..Well, I guess you figure it out...

After a dry, emotionless, and meaningless voice, no sound could be heard inside his car.

Just the hum of the engine and the occasional sigh from him...

Oh, uh...! ((Suddenly

전정국

.....((Take off your shoes and go inside the house

백시혜

You came..huh..? Hehe

백시혜

I thought you weren't coming today so I didn't prepare anything... Ah,

백시혜

Hey, I made some shabu-shabu in the kitchen. That'll do...

전정국

Okay, have I ever eaten anything here...

백시혜

..Still... Oh, ah..! The clothes are heavy, I'll help you carry them...

전정국

No, I don't like other people touching my stuff. You know that.

백시혜

.....((shudder

백시혜

.......

He lightly rejected the woman who reached out to him and entered a study,

Maybe it was the only space in the house that was his own.

Swish

Swish_

bang))

백시혜

......

He enters the room and the woman is left alone in the large house,

The only daughter of the JS Trading Chairman,

his wife,

Jeon Jungkook, married to him for 7 years

Honestly, I got married because I liked her. I liked her so much.

I thought that the love that I had loved so much would one day be loved like I saw in a novel, but that was just my delusion.

While living in the same house, she was rejected from marital relations, kisses, and even frequent physical contact, just like any other newlywed couple.

If your privacy is blocked there too...

백시혜

.....under...

백시혜

((Looking at the study door that Jeongguk entered

I'm sure you'll change your mind someday.

The way you look at me will change,

You will reach out to me first,

You will truly love me

I guess I'm crazy too, seeing how I rely on that hope every day, even though I know it's a vain hope.

_The next day, at work

Last night, after I got home, I went straight into the study and took a shower in the small bathroom inside.

After a short nap, I stayed up most of the night organizing meeting materials.

Nevertheless, he was the one who left home at dawn and went to work.

회사원

Team Leader: How should we proceed with today's meeting?

전정국

Oh, this meeting seems to be a rather sensitive situation for both our side and theirs, so I'm going to go out and see for myself.

회사원

The team leader himself..?

전정국

Yes, is there any problem?

회사원

...No, there isn't any

회사원

......

회사원

And after today's meeting, I think you can just go straight home.

회사원

..because the head of the headquarters told me to do that

전정국

Ah... I understand,

전정국

......

_That afternoon, on a crowded street

After a long meeting, he walks down the street with a much more tired expression than in the morning.

Swish))

Thump

Thump-

전정국

......

전정국

....phew...

He ran his fingers through his hair with a nervous expression, then undid a few buttons on his shirt.

On the street, his disheveled appearance was visible because no one recognized him.

He is in his 20s, still too young to be called an adult, and it is difficult for him to endure it alone.

The title 'JS Trading Chairman's Son-in-Law' was bound to be burdensome.

The countless eyes that seem to be watching me every day, and the crushing pressure

Living buried in such things, it was inevitable that I would not have time to think about my own happiness.

전정국

....If I put everything down...

전정국

..will it get a little... more comfortable..?ㅎ

전정국

......

It would have been better not to even try to have useless fantasies in the first place.

..because

The memories of the past 10 years that come to mind one by one in that delusion... I can't bring myself to shake them off,

So, he headed to the hotel again without thinking.

_Crosswalk

'Woodangtangtang'

전정국

.......?

전정국

Whoosh)) ....(Well, it's nothing special)

'' Oh, ah... ''

'' ...Ah... over there...! If you step on that... no... ''

전정국

.......?

전정국

......((I turn my head and look at the place where the commotion occurred.

There was no meaning or reason

I just thought I heard a familiar voice,

My body reacted to that voice without me knowing,

I looked at that place again

...and..

전정국

.....uh,..uh....

Someone once said this to me

Sometimes, there are times like this, when the time when you were the happiest suddenly flashes by.

And only when it clearly appeared before my eyes,

I faced the fact that this was no longer a dream.

She, who had been watching me silently, raised her head and looked at me.

'Jeon Jungkook' called my name

전정국

.....Yoon Yeo-ju...

10 years ago and now, it's the same,

''Yoon Yeo-ju, you were my savior''

...
