[Episode 20] 'Then could we have lived well...?'

Snap

Snap-

백시혜

Oh, uh... ((Surprise

백시혜

...who are you....?

???

Ah, haha

???

I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be so surprised...

백시혜

...Heh.. If you catch me so suddenly..

???

I'm in a hurry lol. Oh, are you going to this cafe?

Someone grabbed Si-hye's arm as she walked towards a sign that said 'welcome' in front of a large, clear glass window.

Even though it was midday and the weather was quite chilly, she was wearing a short skirt, stockings, smoky eye makeup with dark tint, and even had a slightly unique pronunciation.

Si-hye's expression changed to a soft one as she looked at herself and smiled leisurely.

백시혜

...Yes,.. I saw my husband sitting there.. haha

???

ah-!

She reacts greatly to even seemingly trivial words and claps her hands.

Si-hye followed him into the cafe without even realizing it, as he naturally led her into the cafe with his long, waist-length hair swept back.

백시혜

..for a moment,

백시혜

But by any chance, who are you...?

???

...?

차혜정

Sing)) I'm the owner of this cafe, hehe

Dingling

Ding-

윤여주

Ah, ((Get up from your seat.

전정국

....?

A bell rings softly inside the store, followed by the light sound of footsteps.

The female protagonist, who reflexively wakes up at the mere sound of footsteps, hurries to the counter and prepares to take orders.

윤여주

.....?

윤여주

...president..?

차혜정

Did you go to work, Ms. Yeoju? I didn't see you at the counter...?

윤여주

Ah..,ㅎ Since there were no customers, I sat at the table for a while..

차혜정

Ah- Then I'll go change my clothes and come back, so please take my order.

윤여주

Yes... haha

She left a brief greeting to the female protagonist and walked into the steam room.

The female lead's eyes briefly shook slightly as she raised her head to take orders after briefly cleaning up the counter.

백시혜

.....

백시혜

....((Duribeon

전정국

...

백시혜

Ah, Jungkook!

Si-hye adjusts her bag that was loosely hanging on her shoulder and walks towards Jeong-guk.

Jeongguk, who had been scratching his forehead, quickly turns to face Sihye, who has come closer to him.

백시혜

You couldn't see it well because it was covered by the flower pot, right? lol

전정국

..How did you end up here?

백시혜

Um... well, I was bored and had nothing to do... and suddenly I thought of this cafe and was thinking of going, and then I met you.

전정국

Ah... haha ​​((glance

Jeongguk, who had a slight smile on his lips, glanced at the counter where Yeoju was standing.

전정국

You can place your order over there. Uh,

백시혜

huh?

Si-hye turned her head and looked at the counter, following Jeong-guk's gaze.

At that moment, my eyes meet with a familiar face standing there.

윤여주

...Oh, would you like to order? ((Smile

백시혜

.....Yes..? Oh, yes..

백시혜

Just give me one of the same.

윤여주

Shall I add a shot?

백시혜

No, just normal... haha

윤여주

.....yes,

Si-hye points to Jeong-guk's empty cup sitting behind her and orders the same thing.

It was just an empty cup with only ice left, so how did he know he drank it? I thought for a moment, but then realized it was a useless worry and bit my lip slightly.

백시혜

...But Jungkook, how did we end up meeting right here?

백시혜

Aren't you usually at work at this hour?

전정국

Huh..? ((The eyes follow the moving Si-hye.

전정국

Ah,.ㅎ All my team members went out on business trips and there wasn't really anything to do... so I came out to catch my breath.. I have to go back in a bit anyway

백시혜

Oh really? ...You always say you're busy when I call...

전정국

......

Jeongguk shut his mouth as he looked at Sihye, who was sitting in the chair across from him.

If you feel something is strange, you can sit down and move the mug to the side.

윤여주

Coffee, here it comes.

전정국

..ah,

전정국

I'll bring it ((smile

Jungkook pulled up his chair at the sound coming from the counter.

As if it were natural, he grabbed the mug that was on the corner of the table and walked to the counter to get coffee.

윤여주

.......

윤여주

.....((He looks at the empty mug he hands him.

차혜정

Miss Yeoju,

윤여주

Oh, yes... Did you change your clothes?

차혜정

Yeah, but why are there no people today?

차혜정

Isn't it usually crowded at this time?

윤여주

...That's right.. There aren't many people today..

차혜정

anyway,

차혜정

But, Miss Yeoju, do you know that couple over there?

윤여주

...yes?

차혜정

No.. haha ​​because he kept looking over there-

I turned my head at the gesture of someone who was wearing an apron and had their arms crossed, telling me to look over there.

I saw her smiling brightly, holding the coffee I made in one hand.

윤여주

.....

윤여주

...turning my head back to normal)) We're high school classmates. As it happens... haha

차혜정

Oh my, really? That's amazing - how can there be such coincidences?

윤여주

....yes..hehe

Yeah... that's really interesting,

Is fate a joke or is that something I want to believe?

There are a lot of things that are intertwined, whether by coincidence or intention...

차혜정

Oh, right, didn't you say you were moving this week?

윤여주

..n..yeah...that's true..but how did you know?

차혜정

Sing)) Geo-ssi told me that his friend said he would help?

윤여주

....yes..hehe

차혜정

Well... I can't give you a bonus because I have a bias... Get off work early on Friday-

윤여주

Yes? Oh..oh my it's okay_

차혜정

I won't deduct your salary, it's just that... I feel sorry towards you in many ways.

윤여주

.......

At that moment, various thoughts crossed my mind.

A jumble of questions of unknown origin, and a tangled web of emotions...

I felt a strong urge to wash away some of the discomfort and anxiety I felt in the situation.

윤여주

......

윤여주

...Thank you..ㅎ ((smile

That feeling of unknown origin,

It continued for several days until moving day arrived.

_Hey, put those boxes in the corner!!

_Front door! First, measure the front door and check if it will fit!

_Move quickly so as not to scratch the paint

Just thinking about moving day makes my head hurt from the mess.

I felt like I was losing all my energy as I watched the many people coming and going, wearing down the threshold.

전정국

Isn't the box you're holding heavy?

윤여주

Huh? Oh yeah, this is enough.

윤여주

..Are you really okay today? You didn't come out on purpose, did you..?

전정국

Really, I told you it doesn't matter? I already confirmed that there are no schedules anyway, so it's okay ((smile

윤여주

.....

전정국

...Oh, but my body was a bit sore today..

윤여주

What..? Hey... Then rest. Why did you come out..!

전정국

he,

Jungkook looks at her, who is holding a large box in both hands and throwing a tantrum at me, and laughs quietly as if it's funny.

He answers with a smile, looking at the serious expression on the female protagonist's face.

전정국

I know my body better than I do, so I think this is a simple exercise.

A smile appeared on the woman's face as she saw him slightly raise one corner of his mouth, smile once, and then walk into the house with his luggage, but it soon subsided.

After that, Jeongguk went inside the house without knowing what expression was on the remaining face.

윤여주

.....

필요한역/??

Excuse me, are you the new resident moving in this time?

윤여주

Whoosh)) ...oh, yeah...? Yes..hehe

The female protagonist turned around for a moment at the sound of a voice calling her from behind.

He quickly put down the box he was holding and continued answering, facing the face of the landlord who was holding several documents.

_Excuse me, where do I put this mattress in the room?

전정국

yes?

전정국

Oh, let me ask.

필요한역/??

........So, first of all, there's something you need to know...

전정국

Yoon Yeo-ju!

윤여주

Huh...? ((Turns his head and looks at Jeongguk.

윤여주

........

전정국

Where should I put this bed?

As I looked at him, his arms hanging on the corners of the open door, a thought that I shouldn't have suddenly crossed my mind.

The sleeves that were naturally rolled up were so striking,

I'm so used to the way you ask for my opinion and convey it more naturally than that.

The hand that quickly waved in front of the open door as if to let me know that my work was done and then disappeared was so vivid,

There was a moment when a question that I had always kept taboo began to fill my head.

'What if we were a couple?'
