[Pump] Agomul
Episode 4
백현
..why did you come here?
한여은
I'm going to pick up my luggage. I've decided to stay at my house from now on.
At Yeo-eun's words, Baek-hyun's mind was filled with various thoughts.
It was complicated because I couldn't be angry at him for leaving the house without permission, but I couldn't tell him that it was okay either.
백현
..you're going to do that?
한여은
Oh. It looks like the female lead is tired too.
백현
..I see.
A simple set of clothes that could hardly be called luggage were packed into the bag that Yeo-eun was carrying.
There were more sketchbooks and drawing tools than clothes, so Yeo-eun felt frustrated.
한여은
You were mean to the female protagonist yesterday, you know that?
백현
....okay.
한여은
In the future, Yeo-ju will become more beautiful and meet a good person. It won't be of any use for you to regret it then, right?
With those words, Yeo-eun left Baek-hyun's house.
Baekhyun, left alone in the large house, looked at the space that had been Yeoju's room, where there was absolutely nothing left.
Until recently, I was sitting on that chair and drawing diligently.
백현
..I really can't see it anymore.
I was in a quiet house so I fell asleep quickly.
여주
Mr. Minseok!
김민석
I'm late. Sorry.
여주
'Okay. You bought me something so delicious.'
김민석
I can buy you a million times.
...? Baekhyun soon realized that this was a dream.
The slightly more mature face and clothes of the female protagonist, and the places I was seeing for the first time in my life, made me realize that.
By the way, why did that guy appear in my dream? Baekhyun's mood became very uncomfortable at the sight of Minseok smiling affectionately at Yeoju.
김민석
`..Will you marry me?`
여주
`......`
김민석
"I'll do my best. Please love me a lot... and..."
여주
`......`
Baekhyun's dream ended there.
A strong will to break it must have also played a part.
Baekhyun woke up from his dream and couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling.
This is all because of what Yeo-eun said yesterday.
한여은
"From now on, Yeoju will become even prettier and meet a good person. There's no use regretting it then, right?"
I don't know if he's a better person than me, but one thing's for sure...
It really did get prettier.
김민석
Hey kid. Come on.
여주
...Kid... Me..?
김민석
Is there another kid here besides you? Kid.
Baekhyun used to call Yeoju that often.
The female protagonist's mood became even more depressed as memories of Baekhyun came to mind.
김민석
Why are you spacing out?
여주
...Ah. Something just came up that bothered me..
김민석
Is that so?
여주
..Yes. Sorry. I'll focus.
김민석
Yeah. Don't be so stupid. You'll look even uglier if you're stupid.
여주
Yes???? Oh really, you are going too far!!
Minseok chuckled softly at Yeoju's resentment.
Minseok, who played pranks like that, was quite unfamiliar to the employees.
박찬열
Why is that guy acting like that? Did he eat something wrong?
박찬열
Bro. This is the first time I've seen you prank someone.
김민석
what.
박찬열
No, it's really good..
Minseok sat down with a satisfied expression as Chanyeol quickly backed down.
박찬열
(I will definitely get revenge on that guy later.)
Chanyeol clenched his fists as he consoled himself like that.
김민석
Why are you clenching your fist?
박찬열
No, I have a cramp in my hand.
I don't think it will be easy to get revenge within this year.
박언니
Lady, who came looking for you outside?
여주
Yes?? Who came to find me?
박언니
Yeah. I'll go out for a bit.
The heroine left the building with a bewildered expression.
And, the female protagonist froze when she saw Baekhyun leaning against her car.
Why did he come here, sir? Should I run away? But her feet wouldn't move easily, and eventually, her eyes met Baekhyun's.
여주
..why did you come?
백현
This. Because I have it at home.
여주
..........
What Baekhyun gave was a picture of Yeoju and her father together.
You came to bring this to me...
The heroine's mood, which had been slightly excited, as if she might come to pick him up again, fell back to the ground.
여주
..thank you.
백현
Yeah, I'm doing well.
여주
...Yes. Thank you for everything.
백현
Oh, don't get sick. I'll go.
The car Baekhyun was driving quickly disappeared from Yeoju's sight.
The female protagonist was still standing there in a daze as Baekhyun disappeared in an instant.
Did you really go? Did you really just disappear like that? I might never see you again...?
..it's really spicy.
The heroine rubbed her eyes nervously as tears burst out like an idiot again.
My eyes were already sore from crying so much.
I thought that even if he didn't have feelings for me right now, he would slowly open his heart over time.
I thought that when I got older and started working, people would think about it a little more seriously...
Now I feel like everything is wrong.
김민석
..did you cry?
여주
I didn't cry.
김민석
I cried.
여주
...I didn't cry?
Anyone who saw him had a crying face, but he didn't cry.
Minseok sighed as he looked at the woman's messed up face.
Minseok left without saying anything and soon came back holding a coconut palm in his hand.
김민석
ruler.
여주
It's always Coco Farm..
김민석
Because I like the name.
Minseok chuckled at the female lead who was drinking Coco Palm while grumbling.
김민석
Why were you crying so much?
여주
..that is...
After hesitating for a while, the female protagonist finally told everything.
From the time I confessed to Baekhyun, to what happened just now.
After hearing the female protagonist's story, a rather interesting thought occurred to Minseok.
김민석
In times like these, childish methods work well.
여주
yes?
김민석
Come here. Take a picture with me.
여주
....yes..?
The heroine was so taken aback by Minseok's stubbornness that she ended up taking a selfie with him using her phone camera.
여주
What on earth are you doing..?
김민석
This is my profile picture.
여주
No, why on earth?
김민석
Make that guy jealous.
여주
....yes?
The one who was shocked by Minseok's innocence was Yeoju.
While wondering what I was doing, I found myself changing my KakaoTalk profile picture according to Minseok's words.
여주
..Will this work? It seems like the old man has no feelings for me.
김민석
You have to lose to win.
여주
..are you helping me?
김민석
..No. I just thought it looked fun.
A lie. Anyone could tell it was a lie.
여주
..thank you.
It was the moment when hope began to appear again in my heart towards Baekhyun, whom I had been about to give up on.
