Please let me stay for one night,

Please Stay with Me for One Night | Episode 44

And so, the two of them eventually returned home.

Yeoju, who was deep in thought about what Jungkook had said earlier, remained silent the entire way back.

박여주

······.

전정국

······excuse me,

전정국

Ms. Yeo... Ju?

Jungkook, who was hesitating to approach Yeoju, who was radiating only a cold aura, grabs her collar as if to pinch it.

박여주

O- ah_ Yes?

Only then did the female lead come to her senses and turn to look at Jungkook.

전정국

Aren't you... hungry?

박여주

ah_

The female protagonist checks the clock on the wall.

04:26 PM

박여주

It's already dinner time...

It was a question cautiously raised by Jungkook, who was worried about Yeoju, who hadn't even eaten a single meal today.

박여주

I... haven't thought about it yet,

박여주

How about Jungkook?

전정국

I—if Yeoju isn't hungry, I'm not hungry either.

박여주

...Not that kind of thing. Are you really sure you don't have to eat anything?

전정국

yes_

박여주

...Really?

전정국

I'm telling you, that's the case.

After a brief conversation, the female protagonist goes to the living room, sits down, and immediately turns on her laptop.

전정국

Do you have something to do?

박여주

You know.

전정국

I'll help you.

박여주

···Hmm, before that···!

박여주

...I'm asking just in case...

박여주

Were there any celebrities from the same agency that Jungkook was close with?

전정국

···No, there wasn't.

박여주

...Really?

전정국

Kim Han-jin made sure that the artists in his agency did not have any contact with each other.

전정국

I only know their faces and names; the only people I've actually met and talked to are... one or two.

박여주

...Is that possible?

박여주

Even so... I heard there are about fifteen artists under their management.

전정국

It was a condition of the contract that we were forbidden from meeting each other.

박여주

...Hmph...

박여주

Then do you know where Jeon Jungkook's manager is?

전정국

Manager Hyung...

전정국

He's probably working under Kim Han-jin, right?

전정국

I don't know the details either.

박여주

It's... much more complicated than I thought.

박여주

I tried to make them our ally.

I haven't even started yet, but somehow my head already feels like it's throbbing.

Can I really protect this man?

Well, even such a trivial question comes to mind.

전정국

······.

전정국

Come here for a moment.

Sitting close beside Yeoju, he stretches out one arm.

I guess it means to look at the female lead and have high expectations.

박여주

huh?

박여주

What are you planning to do?

전정국

Hurry up.

Just as Jungkook said, the female lead leans her head on one of his shoulders.

It is Jungkook who puts his arm around Yeoju's shoulder as if he had been waiting for this.

박여주

But why the sudden question?

When the female lead slightly raises her head to look up in doubt, Jungkook is looking at her with a faint smile.

전정국

I just wanted to stay like this.

박여주

I don't have time for this... haha

전정국

It's still good, isn't it?

박여주

any?

전정국

I really like it.

It is Jungkook who carefully pushes the side hair that has reached Yeoju's forehead back, whispering in a worldly languid voice.

박여주

I was just joking. I like you a lot, too.

박여주

Just like this, I'll stay here for a few minutes and then get back to work... haha

The female protagonist, who had closed her eyes by herself, wears a bright smile.

전정국

What are you going to do if you stay like this?

박여주

Uh-huh...

박여주

I'll look up some articles related to Jungkook...

박여주

I checked the reporters' names... and then,

박여주

···Achoo-!

Jungkook stares endlessly at the female lead, who continues to speak with slurred pronunciation, still with her eyes closed, as if babbling.

박여주

sorry_

박여주

Where was I leaving off?

전정국

Even checking the reporters' names.

박여주

Ah... that's right.

박여주

then_,

박여주

Tomorrow... I'm going to go meet the reporters.

박여주

and...

박여주

And then...

박여주

therefore......

박여주

...I'm getting sleepy sitting here......

전정국

Ah, then I'll get a quick nap.

박여주

···Then just ten minutes...! Shall we do that...?

전정국

Do it that way.

박여주

Don't run away just because my head is heavy.

전정국

I'm not running away, haha

박여주

Ugh... I'll trust you, Jungkook.

He, who had been gently patting the female lead's shoulder at a steady rhythm, quietly watched her looking sleepy-

It is said that he stayed by the heroine's side for a while without moving, with a very affectionate smile.
