Maginot Line with you

Episode 38] A Midsummer's Dream

전정국

......

전정국

...Why do you love me..?

백시혜

.....

It was the first question he uttered when he saw her.

백시혜

....Why... do you love me..? There's no reason for that...

백시혜

I, I just love you for who you are.

전정국

.....

백시혜

....

Her words, blurted out with an exhale, sounded impatient, as if she was asking how she could not know her own heart.

...The reason she kept her mouth shut was probably...

Was it because I looked into his eyes?

백시혜

.......

백시혜

....from the first time I saw you.. until now, there has never been a time when I didn't love you,

백시혜

At least you're my husband, and that alone makes me happy...

백시혜

..That's why I'm still like this. Because I love you...

백시혜

Because I love you that much... like this...

전정국

...That's what you think love is,

백시혜

Then what is your love,

백시혜

...So you love that woman until the end?

백시혜

Is reality some kind of romance novel? ..No....

백시혜

Jungkook, I... really... wasn't asking for much.

전정국

.....

전정국

...Sigh... Really,

백시혜

.....

She frowned as if tears were welling up in her eyes, and chewed her trembling lips.

As if trying to look as calm as possible.

Jungkook finally sighed at her appearance and kept wiping his face as if he couldn't do anything about his feelings.

In the end, in a conversation that couldn't escape the same shackles, Si-hye opened her mouth as if she still had a lot to say.

백시혜

..Yeah, I have a lot to say, I'm so dumbfounded, I'm so angry and annoyed, I want to throw it all away,

백시혜

I held it all in... but,.

백시혜

..Don't you think this is a bit... too much...?

백시혜

It's a sin to love first. It's a sin to love more. And I've given up on that... because it's something I have to carry.

백시혜

....Wouldn't it have been hard for me too..? I wasn't lonely, and I think I endured that time because it was tolerable..?

전정국

.......

백시혜

Say something...!

백시혜

At least... no, at least...

백시혜

......The wind... no, uh... huh...? That much...!

백시혜

........

백시혜

...So in the end it's all my fault..?

백시혜

Please speak,

백시혜

At least try to make an excuse for that smart mouth.

전정국

Let's not say that it wasn't hard for me either, because it's too obvious.

백시혜

......

전정국

...At the company, ..do you know that the way people look at each other is different?

백시혜

....

전정국

Haha.. Oh, of course, I guess so, because I am... the husband of the daughter of that high-ranking chairman.

전정국

...What is so secretive about the world of those high ups that they can communicate with just a glance?

전정국

It was so hard. Beneath that smile. Physically... mentally.

전정국

...From the beginning, I was not in the right league to play with those high-ranking people, so...I guess I couldn't help it.

전정국

however...

전정국

..I knew that I brought it all on myself, so I just endured it.

전정국

I felt sorry for you too... How could I not feel guilty...?

백시혜

......

전정국

But you were happy there, smiling under the bright lights...

전정국

..It was you who reached out and asked me to go with you.

전정국

..Okay, I'll admit it.... I love someone else, not you, Si-hye.

백시혜

.....under,..!

전정국

..Strictly speaking, I needed a place to lean on. ....Because I thought you were ultimately just like them.

백시혜

I shouldn't have done that...!

전정국

....But I wasn't happy. ..haha, I couldn't be happy,

백시혜

jungkook jeon!!

전정국

..Let's get a divorce, Si-hye.

전정국

We're still young... We can definitely start over again.

백시혜

No, no? You think divorce is a big deal? I still love you, how can you do that!!

전정국

...that's not love,

백시혜

And if you get divorced...

백시혜

...How did you know you would go to that person...?

전정국

......

전정국

...You know, I can't go anyway

백시혜

.....

Is this what it means to have a relationship that is already rotten and decayed and cannot be put back together?

As he chuckled with a bitter smile, a teardrop that had been welling up in Si-hye's eyes fell.

It was a past that could neither be returned to nor erased.

Their different values ​​have once again put each other in a bind.

By the time you get out of that shackle, it will already be so worn out that it will be in a state of collapse.

There is no right love in this world.

In the end, people who fall in love just wrap that love in beautiful memories.

Realizing that there was nothing more to talk about, Jeongguk left the house.

From the perspective of running away, it might seem like the most petty of all things.

...Actually, I really don't know anything.

I thought that when I turned 20, my life as an adult would begin.

...worse than a child,

Thump

Thump-

전정국

.....((Put down the empty glass

필요한역/??

You must have had a hard day today - to be drinking like this at this hour.

전정국

......

필요한역/??

...Is it okay for a young person to be like this? I'm going home early today.

The older bartender looked at him worriedly and said.

전정국

....((snickers

전정국

...I'm not young. I've aged as much as I should...

전정국

Ah, I usually only drink on really tough days... but today... I'm so... tough... I just want to get really drunk.

전정국

......

Jiying

Jiying-

Jiying-

전정국

.......

전정국

.....((I look down at my phone quietly

필요한역/??

I'm receiving it. ..I think I'm getting a call.

전정국

Haha... I don't want to accept it. .. There's nothing good about accepting it...

전정국

.........

전정국

.........

전정국

.......((snickers

전정국

Please give me one more bottle of that liquor...

전정국

...not too strong, just enough to keep you conscious.

필요한역/??

......

He walked down the dark street with a staggering gait.

...late at night. The empty streets are so deserted,

At one point, I thought that no one would ever see me like this.

Swish

Swish-

전정국

.....

전정국

...((He wipes his eyes with a light gesture.

전정국

....as expected, ..really.....

전정국

......

..Is it because that is the only time I can shine?

If I could go back in time just once, I would have cut off all those buds.

전정국

......

전정국

....kiss... ..first kiss,.... ((mumbles without a word

전정국

he,....

After all, I'm just a guy with no courage or anything.

전정국

윤여주

전정국

Swish

Swish-

윤여주

''Cursor, ..you know. It's kind of like a romance...''

'' ...ah, heh ..I''

''A bit of a fairy tale love...?''

''A fairy tale love?''

''I saw a movie before, and the male lead was like this''

'' ..there was a kissing scene, right? That was so impressive.''

'' ...uh,h no.. ''

''I was just curious, haha''
