Maginot Line with you
Episode 6] You were indifferent
_10 years ago,
Art room_
윤여주
....
윤여주
...((Glance
전정국
Haha ((I'm sitting with my chin resting on my hand
윤여주
......
윤여주
....Aren't you cleaning..?
전정국
huh?
윤여주
..ha... aren't you going to clean?
Ten years ago, perhaps the first time I met him carefully, my first impression of him was... bright.
The sight that seemed to contain both late spring and early summer was refreshing and somehow hazy.
Exactly, that much
Anyway, I had to clean up, and in my eyes, he was just another classmate who was late.
윤여주
Sorry, I have to clean up and do something quickly, so how about we do it together?
전정국
Your name is Yoon Yeo-ju, right?
윤여주
...Uh...that's true...but did you even listen to what I said?
전정국
Ah, sorry sorry haha
전정국
Honestly, I wanted to keep being close to you.
전정국
So I was a little worried about what to say at first... I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable, ((smile
윤여주
.....
He's a strange kid
The kid who wanted to be friends with me,
So... strange kid...
_2020, present
윤여주
.....
윤여주
....n,why are you here..?
윤여주
Suddenly appearing...
전정국
Then why are you here?
전정국
..do you work at this cafe?
what..?
..why... am I reluctant to talk..?
Are you embarrassed? Are you surprised?
I can't say I'm a full-time employee yet?
...or is there another reason..?
윤여주
Oh, uh... I'm not a full-time employee yet...
전정국
I definitely have to go there sometime.
전정국
If I had known you'd see me, I would have gone earlier... haha
윤여주
....
He must have read my embarrassed expression, but he spoke in a way that made me feel comfortable, and I felt a contradictory feeling that I couldn't put into words.
Something ticklish and uneasy
In an attempt to get rid of that feeling, I just randomly said the words that came to mind.
Even if it's unconscious... your ears and cheeks shouldn't turn red
윤여주
Are you leaving work now? You're quite late..?
전정국
Ah... because I have a lot of work to do...
전정국
Are you getting off work too?
윤여주
Oh, the cafe closes around this time.
전정국
ah...
전정국
Oh, when we met before, I wanted to ask.
윤여주
...what.?
전정국
Phone number! Haha
전정국
Can you give me your phone number?
The sight of him smiling brightly as he asked for my phone number with a face full of excitement...
handsome.
Regardless of whether it was then or now, just...
The face from 10 years ago looked much more mature with the passage of time, and it looked perfect to anyone who saw it.
Even the streetlights shining behind me...
윤여주
...Uh, uh... phone number...
윤여주
My phone number, lol I suddenly can't remember... ((I search through the bag I was holding and look for my phone
전정국
Sigh))
윤여주
.....((He smiles awkwardly
전정국
Can't you even exchange phone numbers with friends?
윤여주
Huh..? Oh, no... I suddenly can't remember..
전정국
Okay, I was just joking so you don't have to worry - haha You can take your time
윤여주
.....
윤여주
....he
윤여주
Hasn't the way you treat everyone so kindly changed in the past 10 years?
전정국
Huh...?
윤여주
I just thought, you're really the same
전정국
...ah..
전정국
If you're leaving work now, would you like a ride home?
윤여주
You don't have to go that far... Are we really that kind of people?
전정국
Let's just say it's a small favor to a friend I haven't seen in a long time.
전정국
Be honest, are there any kids you knew in high school that you still know?
윤여주
Of course not, haha
윤여주
...still..
윤여주
Stories from our high school days... You might have a lot of them, but I don't.
전정국
....
윤여주
..Later, when I really need it, I'll use the friend chance.
윤여주
You go in quickly_ Your wife will wait ((smile)
전정국
......
전정국
....see you later
전정국
It could be a coincidence like today, or it could be a promise to meet.
전정국
Oh, I'll pick it up tomorrow haha
윤여주
....
전정국
..it was nice meeting you,
윤여주
It's not like you suddenly shake hands and part ways, right?
전정국
Then shall we shake hands?
윤여주
...ha, heh..
As expected, it's strange
Whenever I meet him, I become... strange.
전정국
Do you want to shake hands?
윤여주
Sigh))
윤여주
If you want_ㅎ
Swish))
I was the first to extend my hand. Lightly,
His hand, which he extended, brushed against my fingertips, and I slightly withdrew my hand in the awkwardness that was creeping in.
But soon their hands were joined, formally twice.
Twice my hand was held by him and shook.
It feels like when you shake hands...
It's a bit vague to define exactly, but
It was still warm,
Still, it was big enough to cover my hand.
I kept holding it and it felt itchy so I took it off right away.
I feel strange
I'm heading home for no particular reason.
Yoon Yeo-ju, you...
You save me now and then.
It's an inexplicable feeling. I can't really define it.
I just felt so happy. Like I was in the middle of space.
That feeling of something foreign was both unfamiliar and empty.
It was familiar yet scary,
It was warm yet uncomfortable
I also considered this feeling to be part of the joy.

Jeobuk_
His footsteps echoed down the long hallway as he returned home.
The tingling feeling I get as I get closer and closer to the house
It was a creepy feeling, as if something bad was about to happen.
전정국
.....
전정국
....((Giggle
전정국
((I reached the front door, unlocked it, and went inside the house.
Suddenly
Bulgeop_
전정국
....((Stop
It was easy to guess what was going on at home.
Because the musk scent that had already permeated the entire house proved it,
That's why I couldn't even set foot inside the house.
전정국
.....
전정국
....what?
백시혜
..Uh,huh...? What are you doing, come in quickly..
She trails off at the end of my words at my sharp tone,
전정국
What are you talking about now?
백시혜
I don't really know what you're talking about...? But how did you come in today..?
전정국
Why, my house smells like musk
백시혜
..is this scent musk...? It's really good, hehe
전정국
Hey Baek Si-hye,
백시혜
.....
전정국
Why did you come into my room?
백시혜
Huh...?
전정국
He asked me why I went into his room just now.
She purses her lips as she watches him speak with a blank expression and in halting pauses.
His eyes, which had grown cold at some point, scanned the house and stopped on her.
백시혜
.......
전정국
I asked you, I even asked you not to come into my room.
전정국
....however..
백시혜
.....
백시혜
..Hey Jeongguk... Take off your clothes and talk, I'll... I'll explain everything..!
전정국
Is the clothes the problem now..?
백시혜
......
백시혜
.....You... You, you... You were indifferent
백시혜
Yeah, I went into your room. I went in and saw.
전정국
....ha..
백시혜
But you... have you never thought about why I did that...?
전정국
..what?
백시혜
I've been your wife for seven years, seven whole years...
백시혜
I lived with you for 7 years, thinking of you as my wife and my husband.
전정국
Ha.... ((He nervously runs his hand through his hair
백시혜
You never once thought of me like that...!
백시혜
I was jealous of ordinary couples...
백시혜
That's why, Jeongguk, really... I...
전정국
......
전정국
....I don't think our relationship was established normally from the beginning.
전정국
Baek Si-hye, speak clearly
전정국
Why am I the perpetrator and you the victim in this situation?
전정국
You are the one who started all this, Baek Si-hye.
백시혜
......
전정국
If you made it like this, didn't you say you would take responsibility for it?
백시혜
...
백시혜
..uh, uh....
dump))
She, who had never been willing to avoid the gaze that stared at her without any emotion, finally collapsed.
She looked so delicate, even sitting down in the middle of the spacious living room and crying.
Really, so much so that I can't even dare touch it.
And Jeongguk keeps looking at her like that
Just like the first time,
He just looked down at her without making any expression.
Indifference, which hurts more than ignorance,
He wasn't interested in her crying.
백시혜
Ugh, ugh... sorry, uh... I, I won't.....
백시혜
...Today, woof, my mother came.... My mother came, and... ugh... told me to open the room....
백시혜
I tried to stop it at first too... I tried to stop it... But... Ugh... Hehe...
전정국
.....
전정국
Okay,
Swish
Swish_
He answered her with a single answer and then passed her and entered the room.
No pity for her could be found in her slightly distorted face.
It was just cold
Her love was cold
