Maginot Line with you
Episode 7] In the name of friend
백시혜
......
He left
I packed some clothes and necessities and left like that.
I left the house without looking back.
Now, in this big house, there is only me.
Only me......
_The next day
Jeon Jeong-guk, Team Leader of JS Trade Marketing Division 1
''Unauthorized absence''
The company was thrown into chaos due to the unauthorized absence of a person who usually did not even take sick leave.
What's more serious is that none of them
The fact that I couldn't contact him right away,
Just... the fact that he just avoided it as if it were someone else's business.
The fact that it was forgotten, leaving behind only countless speculations.
and...
윤여주
........
The only person waiting for him,
'' Ah, haha I'll pick up the phone tomorrow_ ''
'tomorrow'
Why does that one word bother me so much?
Even though I knew it was just a normal greeting,
Why do we attach so much meaning to those words?
Every time I hear the sound of the door, every time I see someone passing by, for no reason,
I look at it carefully.

윤여주
Whoosh))
윤여주
Welcome...
회사원
Noisy))
She looked at the door reflexively at the dull sound of the bell.
I lower my eyes for a moment at the sight of a group of office workers coming in.
윤여주
....
윤여주
...under,...
윤여주
Welcome ((smile
회사원
Here, please give me two hot Americanos to go.
윤여주
Are you talking about a hot Americano wrap?
회사원
yes
윤여주
Yes, please wait a moment_
Coffee beans ground in accordance with the movement of the machine,
As I stood there, trying to boil some hot water, I could faintly hear them talking.
회사원
Our team leader was absent without leave today...
필요한역/??
.......really?...
회사원
He was a person who didn't even take sick leave... but suddenly...
필요한역/??
...What happened..? ........
윤여주
......?
윤여주
...(What are you talking about..)
Tii
Tii-
ㄸ, ((click
윤여주
Here, two cups of warm Americano are here_
회사원
Oh, thank you
Drumroll
Drumroll_
필요한역/??
Miss Yeoju, you worked hard today. It's late, so hurry up and go home.
윤여주
Yes, thank you....((bow
The iron bars closed with a scratching sound in my ears.
Yeoju stands blankly in front of a dark cafe.
But soon, she turns her head to the other side, slinging a long eco-bag over her shoulder.
As she walked, looking only at the ground, a long shadow formed before her eyes.
Swish
Swish_
윤여주
.....
윤여주
....?!
_Yesterday morning, Jeongguk
dark hotel room,
Unlike the world that greeted the dim dawn, only one small light illuminated the space.
It's been about 6 hours since I left home.
He throws his already turned off cell phone on the table.
전정국
Phew.......
A situation where it is difficult to clearly state whose fault it is.
The one who suffered a great psychological blow from that situation was none other than Jeong-guk.
A room that has been hidden for six years,
Memories that have been hidden,
The memories that have been hidden,
The hidden feelings,
The weaknesses that have been hidden,
Now that everything was revealed to someone, I was more confused than anything else.
Because I couldn't do anything due to the nausea, stuffiness, and self-loathing that came at me like crazy as if I had been waiting for it
For him, the room was like a shadow,
He was avoiding the situation that kept overlapping and only drinking the water in front of him.
From him, that room, still...
Stayed with him at 19
today_
윤여주
.....
윤여주
...n,why are you.....
전정국
Sigh)) At first glance, it's a face I've been waiting for a long time_
전정국
Okay, I'm here. ....to see you
Jungkook spreads his arms wide as he looks at the female protagonist who is standing there blankly staring at him.
He soon folds his arms and approaches her with a thud.
윤여주
.....
전정국
...he
They just look at each other without saying anything,
He stood still and quietly watched the eyes looking up at him, then slowly opened his mouth.
전정국
Can I use the friend chance I mentioned back then now..?ㅎ
전정국
Would you like to have a drink with me?
_A small food stall near Yeoju's house
Jeong-guk and Yeo-ju come in, sweeping away their long legs with one hand.
Perhaps relieved by the rather deserted appearance of the food stall, Jeongguk let out a small sigh and turned around to whisper to the female lead.
전정국
Should I go in..?
윤여주
...But this is a place I often come to.... It's a little... .. shabby
전정국
Dulibeon)) Hmm? All food stalls are like this_
전정국
Still, haha thanks to you I got to come to a place like this again.
윤여주
......
윤여주
....Yeah, haha
They sat side by side at a long table,
The female protagonist raised the corners of her lips slightly as if responding to the sight of him smiling faintly while looking at the woman sitting next to her.
Because I know that smile isn't real... even more,
I didn't think I could show my dark side
윤여주
.....
윤여주
....jungkook jeon,
전정국
Huh? Haha ((Turns his head and looks at the female lead
윤여주
You don't have to pretend to be so happy,
윤여주
....I don't know what's going on, but...you're having a hard time right now_
_A little while later,
With soju bottles piling up between them and their minds becoming increasingly hazy, the two of them invariably pour a glass of alcohol.
Jungkook looked up at the female protagonist sitting next to him with slightly open eyes and smiled at her.
Holding a glass of soju in one hand,
The left hand that was supporting his head was trembling, and his vision was blurry, and he spoke a word.
'' Ta-da ''
At those words that sounded like an incantation, they once again raised their glasses to their lips.
윤여주
.......
윤여주
.....((snickers
윤여주
...Yoon Yeo-ju has grown up a lot... ...and she's drinking with her friends here...ㅎ
전정국
.....Me too... I'm happy to drink here... haha
윤여주
....
윤여주
...really?
전정국
Yeah... haha
전정국
..Okay, being with you like this...
윤여주
.......
윤여주
Me too....haha..I think that's fortunate hehe,
bang))
윤여주
....?
With a meaningless smile on his face, he continued to say perhaps meaningless words.
Jungkook suddenly fell asleep with his face leaning against the table.
She sat there for a moment, silently, looking at him as he slept, looking at her.
There was a similar situation 10 years ago,
It was a leisurely afternoon, a little different from now,
I was still looking at him sleeping,
Actions that I couldn't even try 10 years ago,
At least now...
Swish
Swish_
If you can try,
윤여주
......
윤여주
......((I lie down on the table facing Jeongguk
Same space, same time
At the same eye level, only me
His appearance was something that only I could see.
윤여주
........
As I looked at him with slightly blurry eyes, I could see his sleeping hair fluttering on his cheek.
really,..
Without thinking
Unconsciously,
The fingertips that reached out to him brushed his cheek and grabbed his hair.
and....
Jungkook frowns for some reason
윤여주
.....((Wow
In that image, she returned from fantasy to reality, to the present.
.....I'm crazy now... ..Why would I do something like that,...
A cold wind blows as I come to my senses,
She got up from her seat with a cold wind blowing through her hair.
윤여주
.....
윤여주
....I'm crazy..
It was easy to contact his wife.
Take out your phone from your top pocket and use simple fingerprint recognition.
The rest... you know what I mean,
widely))
The female protagonist, who had placed his cell phone on the table, turned her head to look at Jeong-guk.
윤여주
........
You probably don't remember, though.
The best I can do to help you,
In the name of friend, just up to here
