Episode 28] Becoming Loose <2>

_Where only one small light illuminates the house.

She opened the empty refrigerator in the dark kitchen and sighed slowly.

윤여주
.....there's no alcohol... not even one..

At the end of the year, when I'm feeling alone and powerless, a can of beer is just the thing... but I don't get that drunk...

..I like getting drunk just enough to feel good for no reason.

The female protagonist walked to the living room with a heavy-looking gait.

I turned my head and looked up at the empty table, and a flowerpot with dead grass caught my eye. The timing was perfect.

As the grass stretched out and cast long shadows, many strange thoughts passed through my mind.

윤여주
...You should throw away what's already dead, ..there's no use keeping it...

I took out a plastic bag and put a flower pot in it, and the already empty table looked even more empty.

The heroine, holding a bag of flower pots in one hand, put on her shoes and went out to the front door. Still, a lingering feeling of regret lingered... Was it just my imagination?

윤여주
...mumble)) Because it's a succulent... hehe, they say it doesn't die easily.....

Si-hye grabs Jeong-guk's arm as he tries to pass by without even noticing her standing outside the hall.

It was Jeongguk who turned his head slightly at the scent of her perfume wafting from nearby.

전정국
Yeah.., what I had to do is finished now.

백시혜
Contact... You said you'd contact me when you arrived, right?

전정국
...Ah, ..haha sorry. I had to go in a hurry. There was traffic so I almost was late.

백시혜
......Still... please leave at least one word..

Si-hye's voice spoke softly, her head lowered as if she felt resentment at his blunt attitude.

He let out a short sigh as she continued to stand there, holding onto one of his arms.

백시혜
...If you're going anyway... stop by the banquet hall and show your face before you go.

백시혜
Uh...huh...? ...I did have a glass of champagne earlier... but I wasn't that drunk..!

전정국
I told you years ago that I hate this kind of thing... every year.

Si-hye raised her head and looked up at him as he spoke in a heavy voice, as if he was sighing.

...A gaze looking down at me as if it had no emotion at all..

I was angry at his attitude of treating my earnest request as if it were nothing.

백시혜
...Can't you just stay for a moment..? You.....

백시혜
Don't you know how I'm being treated there? ...Is it that hard to just show up for a bit?

전정국
Baek Si-hye, you... don't you know what I've been doing?

전정국
...I'm having a hard time with all the stares and words pouring in. Right now,

전정국
And... ..you asked me to go with you so many times that we went together several times,

백시혜
..If that's the case, let's get a divorce.

백시혜
If that's the case...! People are telling me... if I'm going to live like that, I should get a divorce.

Jungkook hesitates for a moment at the word that suddenly rings in his ears.

..Her already damp eyelashes were turning black.

백시혜
.....Why do I have to hear such things..?

백시혜
Me..., ..ha..... divorce... heh it's not that easy...

전정국
Wait... Baek Si-hye... ...This kind of thing goes somewhere else...

전정국
...I brought tea, so drinking alcohol is difficult.....

백시혜
Where are you going with all that money...!

백시혜
...I have money anyway, so I can just call a surrogate.

백시혜
Why...? ..Again, you keep pulling out like this...

백시혜
I'm the only one being a bad girl, huh? ...Speak properly.

전정국
Calm down a bit. ...There are a lot of people around here...

전정국
...Since this is the only image I see, I'm sure other people will be talking about divorce. Seriously,

Finally, Jeong-guk walked towards the emergency stairs, leaving behind Si-hye, who was standing there unable to forget the words he had just uttered.

With one hand loosening his tight tie, he walked with a resigned step.

전정국
....You call the agent and come. You have more money than me.

_Jungkook gets into a car parked in the underground parking lot.

I put on my seat belt and ignition, put my arms around the steering wheel, and lean my head against it.

After laughing lowly and cursing, the thought that comes to mind is a sudden feeling of thirst.

Honestly, I think I'll be able to drink any alcohol today, but it's a word that doesn't really fit the sound I'm making while leaning on the steering wheel...

Tens of thousands of thoughts jumbled in my head.

Divorce... haha. Where did you hear something that doesn't even sound like that?

전정국
...Honestly, drunk driving is a bit too much, isn't it?

Why does my heart keep feeling so excited?

...Why are you making it so hard for me?

전정국
I just want to let it all go... but if that's the case... hehe

My body is stiff and damp and I can't move.

..I wish time would just stop like this.

I desperately want to lean on someone, but life doesn't even allow that...

He frowned slightly and let out another low sigh.

My sagging hands feel tense, and I suddenly feel angry from somewhere I don't know.

....Am I angry at my current situation or am I angry at myself for being in this situation?

I felt like a deep darkness was swallowing me up, a mixture of inexplicable emotions.

전정국
..there is someone who will drink with you

전정국
.....((He shows the plastic bag in his hand

작가
Thank you for reading this episode :)

작가
..In the work, the issue of divorce will probably be dealt with vaguely rather than dealt with in a big way.

작가
Of course, that's something we'll only know as the story progresses further...

작가
If there is anything you do not understand or have any questions about, please leave a comment.

작가
Please don't touch me. ..and please don't touch me. Honestly, it's a shame and a waste.

At first I thought it was a romance, but it's a total waste of time.

It's not romance... I feel so bad for Shi-hye, but it's not like I don't understand Jeong-guk oppa...ㅠㅠㅠ

Shihye..... Oh, my heart aches... If I think about it rationally, it seems like Jeonggugi is right, but I'm more of an emotional person, so for some reason Shihye just looks more shabby and pitiful today....😭😭

In front of everyone... Si-hye, I understand that you're feeling a bit frustrated, but doing it in such a public place seems like you're being a bit self-conscious... If it's obvious to anyone that you're having a hard time, it's right to just let it go... I know you're having a hard time too, but just know that your actions are making it harder for Jung-kook.

Author, I think I have to read this book at least 3 times to say, "Wow~~~~" I wonder how you can express each character's feelings so delicately. You really write well. I'm reading it again because it's so delicate. The expressions are really delicate~~~👍👍👍👍

This guy is annoying and annoying, but on the other hand, I understand him and hate him again, and seeing him agonize in the car today, I think that could be the case... If I were in his shoes and living his life right now, I think I would have a lot of conflict... We are not perfect people, but ah~~~ I really feel bad for Si-hye. What was so wrong with loving this man... As the author said, he is
