김여주
what…?
김여주
What did you just say?
김태형
……..
김태형
Let's break up.
김태형
Let's stop here, us.
김여주
Think again and speak.
김여주
How many years have we been together now…!
김여주
Is it that easy for you to say let's break up?
김태형
I'm going to continue living like this, depressed.
김태형
Even after several years, or maybe even a lifetime.
김태형
Until Jeon Jungkook becomes happy,
김태형
I'm going to be depressed.
김여주
……
김여주
You are really weird.
김태형
Yeah, sorry.
김여주
Take back your promise to break up.
김여주
If you cancel now, I'll let it go.
김태형
no.
김태형
It's right to stop here.
김태형
That would be good for you too, Yeoju.
김여주
…hey.
김태형
Thank you.
김태형
I'm sorry.
김태형
It may seem too sudden,
김태형
I've been thinking about it all along.
김태형
Sorry.
김여주
If you go from here, you and I are really finished.
김여주
I won't see your face until I die.
김태형
……
김태형
I'll go first.
I walked forward briskly, without looking back. I didn't want to bring misfortune to the female protagonist. I'm sure Jeon Jungkook would want that too.
The misfortune of those around him due to Jeon Jungkook,
I alone should be enough.
In the midst of Jeon Jung-guk's fate that began to unravel,
I alone am enough to be the one who needs to be harmed.
Ding-
전정국
Welcome,
전정국
Huh? Yeoju
김여주
……
전정국
What happened?
전정국
Your expression doesn't look good.
전정국
What's going on with my part-time job? lol
김여주
What did you say to Taehyung?
김여주
Are you giving Taehyung a hard time?
전정국
what…?
김여주
Who are you,
김여주
Make Taehyung and I break up.
전정국
…….
전정국
You broke up…?
전정국
Because of me…?
김여주
…….
김여주
I don't know, it's all annoying.
김여주
If only you weren't in my life,
김여주
No. If Taehyung didn't have you in his life,
김여주
We wouldn't have broken up.
전정국
…….
전정국
Sorry.
전정국
me too…
전정국
I want to help you guys too…
전정국
It's not going well.
전정국
Sorry
김여주
……
김여주
Are you saying sorry again after saying such harsh things?
김여주
This is really ridiculous…
김여주
You get angry and annoyed too.
김여주
“What did I do that you suddenly came here and started yelling at me!”
전정국
Even if you don't shout, I know how you feel.
전정국
That's why I don't get annoyed.
전정국
Yes, I'm serious.
김여주
……
김여주
You really don't have any secrets, do you..?
김여주
You're not seriously ill or anything, are you? Huh?
김여주
Kim Taehyung has been saying strange things for months,
김여주
You keep talking as if you’re going to die soon…!
김여주
Actually, I'm really worried that something might happen.
전정국
Kim Taehyung is overreacting.
전정국
Yeoju, you understand.
전정국
Taehyung said he wanted to break up.
김여주
huh..
전정국
I'll try talking to Taehyung on the phone.
전정국
Don't worry too much.
김여주
……
김여주
I'm sorry for getting upset earlier...
김여주
I keep getting more and more awkward in front of you.
김여주
I'm going to start throwing tantrums.
김여주
I'm sorry, I was just thinking about myself earlier and got angry...
김여주
You must be having the hardest time right now.
전정국
I'm not tired lol
전정국
are you okay.
It seemed like tears were welling up in Jeongguk's eyes as he smiled and said it was okay.
전정국
I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up when it was late.
김여주
It's only 10 o'clock.
김여주
I'll go.
전정국
Yeah, go in.
That day, Jeongguk's eyes looked unusually moist,
I'm so sorry for the harsh words I said earlier, thinking only of myself.
I turned around and headed back to the convenience store, wondering if there was anything I could do to help.
김여주
… Rather, if I go back, I’ll just be a burden.
김여주
No, I'm really good at throwing away trash.
김여주
I need some help, please.
전정국
“Hey, watch what you say.”
전정국
“The heroine asked me what was wrong.”
As I was walking to the convenience store, I heard Jeongguk's voice from the alley in front of the convenience store.
전정국
"I'm not dying. I'm going to live until at least 2020, honey."
김여주
……?
김여주
What does that mean…?
It's 2020. It's 2010, and I find it odd that Jeongguk is already talking about something that happened ten years ago, so I perk up my ears.
전정국
“Fate, the past. Everything can be changed.”
전정국
“Even on the day I was supposed to die in 2020,”
전정국
“I will be with you.”
전정국
“I promise you, you really won’t die.”
전정국
“So, go to the female protagonist and apologize profusely.”
전정국
“Stop talking nonsense about breaking up.”
김여주
What is that…?
Fate, the past can be changed. What on earth is that day in 2020 when I must die?
During the moment when Jungkook was talking to Taehyung, I couldn't understand a single word they were saying.
전정국
“Before I died, my girlfriend and the person who saved me from hell was Yeoju.”
전정국
“Right now, Yeoju is that kind of person to you.”
전정국
“I’m satisfied just seeing Yeoju doing well without any incidents or accidents.”
전정국
“No, I’m grateful just for being able to breathe together right now.”
전정국
“So Taehyung, don’t worry about me.”
전정국
“The heroine was my girlfriend back then, and now she’s your girlfriend.”
Thump-
I dropped the cell phone I was holding.
I couldn't understand what this was saying at all.
전정국
… My lady…
I was actually scared. It felt like I had discovered a secret I should never have known.
김여주
hey…
김여주
you…
김여주
What are you, really…?
