Please let me stay for one night,

Please Stay with Me for One Night | Episode 51

The next day.

The two people slept in for the first time in a while. The female lead, who woke up earlier than the sleepless Jeongguk, came out of the room and woke him up. Jeongguk, wake up.

전정국

…what time is it now?

박여주

10 o'clock... It's getting close.

전정국

… Miss Yeoju, don’t you have to go to work…?

_Going to work? It's Saturday today? The female lead stroked Jeongguk's head as he mumbled, half-asleep, his eyes barely open.

전정국

Ah… … Saturday.

박여주

Oh, right. I was supposed to meet Chae Hyun-woo today… .

_Jungkook was talking in his sleep while being held in my arms. Yeoju immediately called Hyunwoo with the phone she was holding.

_Still looking at Jeongguk while listening to the continuous call connection tone. You have eye boogers, Jeongguk.

전정국

… Ah, this is a bit embarrassing.

_Jungkook, feeling embarrassed for no reason, burrowed into Yeoju's arms. Meanwhile, Yeoju hung up the call as the connection tone grew longer and longer.

전정국

Phone… Aren’t you answering?

박여주

Yes… You must be busy.

_But why is it so cold? The female protagonist, who was wearing short-sleeved summer pajamas, turned her head, rubbing her arm and making a gesture indicating that it was cold…

_The rain was falling outside the window. The raindrops were so heavy that they were hitting the window.

박여주

… … How long has it been since it rained?

_For a moment, his attention was drawn to the raindrops outside the window, and Jeongguk, who was concerned about the female protagonist's words about being cold, laid her down next to him.

_I mean, the two of us are stuck together on that cramped, narrow sofa. We're even covering ourselves with a blanket.

박여주

It's warm here.

박여주

Is Jungkook warm?

_The female protagonist, who placed her hands on Jungkook's cheek, neck, and shoulder in that order, said that it was warm and she really liked it, but Jungkook couldn't say anything because her hands were cold.

박여주

… My hands are cold, right? Hahaha

_The female protagonist, who found Jeongguk's frozen reaction funny, started to laugh, so Jeongguk laughed too.

박여주

If it's cold, say it's cold.

전정국

… No. Not at all.

_Just keep it that way. I like this too. Jungkook smiled faintly and hugged Yeoju.

_These two people are now comfortable with physical intimacy, even though it's only been a short time. They've grown quite a bit. Considering how they used to be embarrassed even by touching,

박여주

I think you're almost awake now?

전정국

…I think so too.

박여주

How are you sleeping these days? Are you sleeping well?

전정국

Thanks. I'm sleeping well.

_I'm sleeping so well that I don't need sleeping pills,' the female protagonist said, feeling relieved as soon as Jeongguk finished speaking, and grabbed his hand.

박여주

… … You know that?

_At the meaningful expression on the female lead's face, Jeongguk looked at her with a curious look in his eyes.

박여주

…we're almost done.

"Everything is ready. Kim Han-jin is ready to face his punishment in this world." The female protagonist spoke softly, half relieved, half worried.

_The two people counted down the days until they decided to reveal the truth, and realized that there really wasn't much time left.

전정국

… That’s right. It’s really over.

박여주

…If you could go back in time, what do you think Jungkook would be like?

_Jungkook, who had been silent for a while, seemed to be thinking about something and then opened his mouth.

전정국

I think a lot of things will have changed.

_It's a bit embarrassing to say it myself, but I think he's become a little more mature. Jungkook smiles, avoiding eye contact as if embarrassed, and the female lead laughs along.

박여주

Why- It's true that I've matured.

전정국

… No, it’s still far away.

_Jungkook, clearing his throat, continued speaking. Above all else… he was no longer alone.

_When Jungkook met Yeoju's eyes and spoke, Yeoju, who had been overcome with emotion for a moment but tried to suppress her emotions, said, "I see. It's different from before."

전정국

…are you crying?

박여주

No, absolutely not. Why am I crying… .

_On the other hand, the eyes are already wet with tears.

전정국

…I think she’s crying?

박여주

Oh, no… .

_The heroine tries to avoid eye contact, but she can't do anything because Jeongguk is already unable to move in her arms.

_Was it really that sweet of an atmosphere?... But there was someone who completely turned the flow of air upside down.

Rrrrrrrrrrr.

_At the unexpected ringtone of the heroine's phone, Jeongguk reached for the phone on the table without hesitation.

_What kind of kid is he now? Jeongguk, who had been ready to go find out who the sender was, suddenly hardened.

박여주

… … Why? Who are you?

_Jungkook answered the phone, his gaze replacing the answer. I thought things had quieted down recently, but here we go again.

The female protagonist, who was completely attentive to the voice on the other end of the phone, eventually became completely attached to Jeong-guk.

박여주

…….

_This time, the heroine kept her mouth shut as if she knew who it was. She sighed and ran her hand through her hair.

박여주

… … Kim Han-jin.

_I looked at Jeongguk's expression while he was on the phone... How could something so harsh be a good thing?

_A few more minutes passed like that. Jungkook, still holding Yeoju, finished the call and put his phone back on the table as if nothing had happened.

박여주

…Why, what is he saying again?

전정국

…….

전정국

…he asked me to meet him for a bit.
