Episode 35. The End and Disappearance

전정국

Ah. I think you're misunderstanding something, so I'm telling you.

전정국

The end of every reincarnation is not necessarily a tragedy.

"Please Love Me_" _Episode 35

🍈- Hwa Sa, WOOGIE - In the Fall

[This episode is a bit of a downer, so music is a must. If you don't listen... you can't! (?) You have to listen! Play it on repeat! :) Required! 💥]

If you don't listen to the song, it's a sad ending-😐 I'll hate you. So turn it on quickly!

More time passed since then. About a week. It was true that Taehyung liked the fact that the female lead was always by his side, but

Considering reality, I made her go to work a few days a week. Every time, Taehyung would pout, as if to show off, and then she'd barely make it to work.

Taehyung was the one who always found it cute that the stubborn female protagonist was much younger than him, even though he always tried to comfort and encourage her.

… Ah. Naturally, Taehyung's hair color returned to its original blue color. Slowly, over several days. Was it just the day before yesterday? Just like when Yeoju first met him.

So, the heroine, knowingly or unknowingly, was preparing herself mentally. She decided not to be too sad if this man disappeared at any moment.

By any chance, even if it is today.

김태형

…It’s really clear today.

Today, a day had passed. Taehyung was gazing out the window at the cloudless sky, muttering to himself. His once bright smile had gradually cooled.

The female protagonist walks up from behind him, picks up a peach on a fork, and puts it in Taehyung's mouth.

Taehyung put a peach in his mouth, looked at the female protagonist, munched on it, and then spread his arms wide. This was a signal for me to hug him.

The female protagonist, who gave a faint smile, placed the plate of cut fruit on the table and sat down naturally on Taehyung's lap, who was sitting on the windowsill.

김태형

I think I know what you mean when you say you miss me even when you look at me.

백여주

Really? Haha, what does that mean?

김태형

I want to take more in my eyes.

김태형

Because there isn't much time left.

At Taehyung's words, the woman's hands, which had been touching each of his fingers, stopped, and she soon stood up, got down from his lap, and sat down next to Taehyung.

백여주

Then I'll sit like this.

백여주

Hurry up and take some more.

Taehyung, who had been quietly watching the playful laughter of the female lead, soon began to laugh too. The two stared at each other for a while, then grabbed hands and interlocked their fingers.

Taehyung pulled Yeoju closer to him and wrapped one arm around her shoulder, as if he was afraid of being apart for even a moment.

김태형

…love you.

백여주

Me too-.

김태형

I have more.

백여주

Is that possible?

The two people who had been staring into space turned their heads at the same time and their eyes met closely. The female lead, who was feeling embarrassed for no reason, briefly bumped her forehead against his.

Before the female protagonist could even laugh, Taehyung gave her a short, sweet kiss on the forehead.

The female protagonist, who had been staring at Taehyung like that, smiled brightly, curling the corners of her trembling lips as if she had something to say.

백여주

…Will you make a promise with me?

김태형

good-.

Taehyung could devote himself to Yeoju, at least for now. No matter what the promise, no matter what she said, he wouldn't question or question it, just for Yeoju, who would be left alone if he left.

백여주

…after we break up,

백여주

Please appear in my dreams once in a while.

Taehyung smiled. It was an ambiguous smile, neither positive nor negative.

Then the female protagonist who was watching Taehyung like that will open her mouth.

백여주

…I know, me too. It’s nonsense, ridiculous, and stupid.

백여주

Still, I think just hearing an "I understand" answer would be enough for me.

김태형

I will do that.

Unlike the heroine, who had been expecting a simple retort, the answer she heard was filled with confidence. It was as if she were truly about to appear in a dream.

김태형

…so that you will never forget my face.

백여주

……really?

김태형

Yeah

"I'll come to you until you're sick of me." The conversation ended with Taehyung's signature warm smile.

Thanks to that, the heroine was able to smile even brighter. Her eyes were filled with all the sorrow in the world, but the corners of her mouth were dangling, enough to catch her ear.

백여주

…….

The heroine didn't say anything else. Her gaze remained fixed on one spot, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have.

김태형

… …Is it because the weather is warm?

김태형

You seem really sleepy.

Taehyung yawned awkwardly, obviously forcing himself to do so. The woman pretended not to notice the awkwardness.

I saw the tip of Taehyung's right arm gradually fade away and its shape disappear into the air.

Even though Taehyung seemed to notice, hiding his arms behind her back. Yeoju, who had to pretend not to see, not to know, not to be sad, opened her mouth with difficulty.

백여주

……me too.

백여주

… … I’m going into the room, do you want to come with me?

She'd expected the answer to be "no." Still, she wanted to ask.

Because I intuitively knew that this moment would be the last.

김태형

… go first.

With a complicated mind, the heroine, who could no longer sit still, slowly got up and walked towards the hallway leading to the room.

She couldn't bring herself to move, but she finally reached the door. She stood still, eyes tightly shut, then opened them again, the corners of her mouth raised. She smiled as brightly as she could.

And then he cautiously poked his head into the living room. Taehyung-!

백여주

I'm going to sleep, don't wake me-?

Taehyung also smiled brightly at Yeoju. "Yes. Good night, Yeoju." His greeting, delivered in his characteristically low tone, sounded particularly sad today.

The heroine finally entered the room and slowly closed the door. With a clang, Taehyung began to pour out all the emotions he'd been holding back, one by one.

김태형

…….

As he watched my hands fading away, one by one, he let out a hollow laugh, then stared at the closed door for a moment, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Even at this moment when he was disappearing, it would not be an exaggeration to say that perhaps the heroine was the one who came first.

김태형

… …What a cruel fate.

Taehyung, with a bitter smile, glanced around the house. When he heard the woman's voice through the doorway, where his gaze was still fixed, he wiped away his tears and headed there.

Taehyung, standing in front of the door, realized only then that the sound he was hearing wasn't normal, but the sound of Yeoju sobbing.

김태형

…….

I failed to protect the person I loved, and now I'm on the verge of separation. In this situation, my lover is crying...

Who wouldn't have their heart broken?

Taehyung carefully opened the door so as not to make a sound, and through the small gap, he could see the female lead sitting on the floor with her knees up and her head down.

김태형

…….

After some time had passed with Taehyung keeping his eyes on Yeoju, Yeoju slowly raised her head, noticing the open door...

백여주

…….

Taehyung's heart began to ache as he saw the female protagonist, who was crying so much that the blood vessels in her eyes had burst and she couldn't hold back her tears like a child.

Taehyung wanted to go to the female protagonist and hug her right away, but he was already disappearing from this world without a trace to face judgment, so he couldn't do anything.

Perhaps because Taehyung wanted to approach her, the female protagonist got up first, ran to Taehyung, and hugged him. Taehyung tightened his grip on her, worried that he might lose her.

백여주

… …don't go...

백여주

What should I do… … I don’t think I can send it.

"What should I do if Taehyung leaves?" As she began to sob, Taehyung gently stroked her tear-soaked cheeks. He then looked at her, but then simply hugged her tighter.

Perhaps never again, in their entire lives, did they feel each other's warm body temperature and scent envelop their hearts.

They remained silent, leaning against each other's arms, quietly, completely enveloped in each other's breath—and,

Until the female protagonist can no longer feel the warmth or presence of others by her side… in that position.
