Maginot Line with you
Episode 3] It's all just pointless




okay,

Yeah, like that for a while...

It was as if the world had stopped.


Is this what it feels like to stand in vast water?

My body felt heavy as if it had swallowed water, and I couldn't speak.


Just, scary enough


It was clear



Kkiii

Kkii-



윤여주
Oh, ah...

Only after the blinking crosswalk lights stopped flashing and cars speeding past me

Everything started moving again


Jeobuk_

_Jeokbuk

Jeobuk_

_Jeokbuk

Swish_


Jeong-guk approaches the heroine with an unchanging expression, looking at her with slightly wavering eyes.

I pause in front of her, who is stiff, and pick up the pencil case that has fallen at her feet.



윤여주
.......((shudder



전정국
....This... ((Pick up the fallen items and put them in the box she is holding


전정국
..I used it when I was in high school... I'm still using it..ㅎ


bang))

The heavy pencil case fell into the box, and she lifted her head to face him, feeling its weight for the first time.



윤여주
....uh...


윤여주
..thank you,


전정국
What... with something like this, ((smile


윤여주
......


Jeongguk, as if he noticed her still breathing lightly and trembling, picked up her belongings scattered here and there one by one and put them in a box.

Boom,

Thump, thump,


As the boxes filled with items, her mind gradually returned to reality.



윤여주
...Thank you... You didn't have to go this far...


전정국
If I keep doing this, I'll get stepped on... It's not like I don't have hands, haha..


Swish_

bang))


He picks up the fallen handkerchief and puts it in the box,

Long fingers lightly touched the box and fell.




윤여주
......


윤여주
....got married...?


전정국
..uh,huh..? Huh... ..huh...

Swish_


She speaks while looking at the wedding ring on his left, fourth finger.

At her gaze, he hid his left hand behind his back.

..as if he wanted to hide it...



전정국
It's nothing, just...


윤여주
Congratulations, ((smile


전정국
.....


윤여주
..If I had known, I would have gone, it's a bit of a shame...ㅎ


전정국
..No...what..


윤여주
.....



윤여주
It was nice meeting you today, thanks for helping me haha


전정국
Uh, uh... If the box is heavy, should I carry it for you..?


윤여주
No, haha I can easily carry it by myself


전정국
Uh... okay, bye


윤여주
...Yeah, hello..

Whoosh))


She left him a brief greeting and then turned around and walked away.


Thump

Thump-


At the same time, his lost hand also fell.

One person turns around and walks away,

Another one is watching him



At least when we first met...


This scene wasn't in the script.




10 years ago, Yeonseo High School

윤여주

윤여주
.....((sigh


윤여주
I turn my head and look at the scenery outside the window))


10 years ago,

The summer back then was refreshing

The early summer sunshine was warm and shining.


..At that time... everything in this world seemed beautiful,

Even the shy wildflowers blooming on the roadside made my heart flutter,

Even the raindrops falling on my palms felt refreshing.




학생 / 들
hey,


전정국
Whoosh)) Huh, huh...?

학생 / 들
No, we're cleaning the special zone today.


전정국
..Is that so...haha ((scratching head

학생 / 들
Ha_ No, what is special zone cleaning? It's been a while since I've been here

학생 / 들
I'd rather have my juniors do it... ((mumble


전정국
......


전정국
.....((slyly



윤여주
((I'm looking out the window, blocking the sunlight with my hand.



전정국
...((snickers

The weather that day was very clear.

The sunlight streaming through the window was transparent and rippled.


At that time, every image of her that I saw seemed warm.

Hair that has a light brown tint from the sunlight and sways in the wind,

Even the slightly raised corners of my lips made my heart pound,

Even the hand that came up to push back the flowing hair was cute.




전정국
......

Swish_


전정국

학생 / 들

전정국

윤여주
Whoosh)) ......

I accidentally avoided your eyes.

In my 19 years of life, this is the first time I've made eye contact like this.

The expression on his face that only smiles at me is so...

too...

윤여주
.....((snickers


_Late afternoon

The rooftop of his own home, a small villa,

The female protagonist opened her eyes in a dark house.


What did I dream about 10 years ago today?

It was a reality where the sunlight of the past that I had forgotten felt so hot.



윤여주
...((Get out of bed


윤여주
..Yeah, it's all pointless


윤여주
You should just focus on reality, right...?


윤여주
.....

The man I met today...

It was the same as 10 years ago.

He laughed for no reason and was needlessly affectionate.


What the heck is he...




How could you smile like that in front of me...?
