[Pump] Agomul

Episode 5

[Baekhyun's Company]

Baekhyun's gaze, which had been mindlessly scrolling, stopped at the female protagonist's profile.

Not only was there a photo on Yeoju's profile, which was always blank, but the sight of Yeoju smiling next to Minseok also irritated Baekhyun.

백현

...Isn't that too close?

There was not a single shadow on the female protagonist's brightly smiling face.

백현

It looks really good.

Baekhyun, with a bitter smile, threw the phone away.

경수

Your expression is really dark.

백현

...when did you come in?

경수

The boss called you.

백현

...Oh. Is that so?

경수

Have you ever had a heartbreak?

백현

Not at all?

경수

.......

경수

...Ah... That... This may be off topic, but...

백현

Do I really have to go off topic?

경수

...Oh. I was trying to help.

백현

....help?

Baekhyun perked up his ears, perked up by Kyungsoo's words.

After catching his breath, Kyungsoo opened his mouth, and Baekhyun began to listen with a reverent attitude.

경수

It's not going to be solved just because you're doing it that way.

백현

..........

백현

(Does that help..)

Baekhyun rolled his eyes.

여주

..I miss you, sir.

It was a word that just popped out unconsciously.

Even though I was muttering softly, it was Minseok who peeked his head out toward my seat, as if he could hear me.

여주

(Your ears are so sensitive..)

김민석

What do you want to see from a cold man?

여주

..That's right..I have no pride...

김민석

........

여주

But I really, really miss you. What should I do?

I thought of you all the time, whether I was eating, working, or just trying to catch up.

I wanted to throw away all the jealousy tactics and run to the old man, but honestly, I didn't have any pride.

But what should I do... the old man is too nice

김민석

What's so great about that guy?

김민석

Honestly, don't you think I'm better in terms of looks and personality?

여주

Wow! You're really good at swearing.

김민석

what?

여주

Oh..! I'm sorry

Did you just raise your fist!?!? I slowly moved my chair to the side as Minseok oppa looked like he was about to hit me.

여주

Actually, I was completely in love with rice at first.. From the first time we met, the wind blew really hard.. haha

김민석

How was it at first?

여주

..that's it.

That goes back to when I first moved here.

[The day I first met you]

엄마

"Hey, lady. Go say hello to the neighbors. It was noisy all day today because we were moving."

여주

yes!

The man who came out after a long time of knocking on the door already had the expression, "I'm terribly offended" written on his face.

Overwhelmed by that strong first impression, I couldn't even make eye contact and muttered.

여주

..I. just moved into the house next door.. That...

백현

What

여주

Ah..I..sorry for being noisy..!

백현

You were aware of it, weren't you? It was so noisy that I thought you didn't notice.

여주

(ㅇㅁㅇ...wow..my friend is so shameless..)

여주

(But he's handsome..)

To me, who always said that being handsome is the best, the handsome man next door was more handsome than the shameless man.

여주

Hey, mister! I guess you're going to work. I'm going to school!

백현

yes.

여주

You can speak comfortably..!

백현

huh.

It wasn't even fun.

However, after my persistent persistence, the old man and I became quite close, and we were able to develop into having short conversations in the hallway every now and then.

This is all thanks to my affinity.

여주

Sir, I broke up with my boyfriend.

백현

That's good. Not so good.

여주

Yeah, but... I feel a little bad.

백현

okay?

The next morning, there was a box of my favorite cookies left in front of my door.

With a note saying, "Feel better."

How can I hate you like this?

He pretended to be cold, but he was warmer than anyone else.

Ah.. This is why I really miss you so much, old man.

[Back to the company]

'KakaoTalk!' [Let's take a look] - Uncle♡

여주

...? Oh my. The old man is watching for a moment.

김민석

Look. I told you I could get through, didn't I? Just bounce me off once.

여주

You want me to bounce..? Why..?

김민석

Hey, you're angry right now.

여주

Hehe... I have to avoid bouncing...

I sent a text saying, "I'm a little busy right now," while crying and eating mustard.

I wanted to run out right away, but I couldn't because Minseok was glaring at me.

'KakaoTalk!' [Then I'll wait until it's over] - Uncle♡

여주

..Ah, my heart is torn...ㅜㅜ

김민석

Hold on ㅡㅡ

I don't know how I made it to the end of the workday.

I couldn't even hold it in my hand and I couldn't see the words on the screen.

As soon as it was time to leave work, I ran to the bathroom, touched up my face a little, and ran right outside.

[Lobby after work]

여주

What's going on?

백현

..are you still mad at me?

여주

... Of course.

No, I'm not angry. I'm not angry at all. ㅠㅠㅠ The words I wanted to say were swirling in my mind, but none of them came out of my mouth.

백현

Profile Are you dating that guy?

여주

..Why are you curious about that, sir?

백현

........

여주

Sir, do you like me?

백현

.....

여주

That's not the case.

I started crying again. I tried not to.

The mouth that was talking nonsense was not even stopped.

백현

..if you like it..can I ask you something?

여주

yes?

백현

If you like it, is it okay to be curious?

여주

......?

What does this mean?

So, does that mean the old man likes me? I was dumbfounded.

When unexpected words came out, my thoughts seemed to stop.

백현

..do you wish I liked you that much?

여주

........

백현

Then... I'll like it.

여주

....mister.

I thought of people who would say something if they received a confession that didn't even seem like a confession.

Even after receiving a confession that was like a stab in the side, it was clear that he would click his tongue and say that he liked it like an idiot.

But what can I do? I'd be happy with a confession like this...

여주

So are we dating?

백현

uh.

여주

Really?

백현

uh.

It was a little bitter, but not bad.

Where did you start dating?

If we date, I just have to make it so that he can't live without me.

여주

Then shall I go back to your house?

백현

..okay.

여주

I love it!!!!

백현

?! ...hey..

Hah! When I hugged the old man, he stuttered.

I couldn't let go of the old man's embrace for a long time, but then he gently pushed me away and opened the car door.

백현

Okay. Let's go home.

여주

...Wow. I just got a little excited.

백현

..what.

여주

Huh? Are you embarrassed?

백현

No, it's not.

It seems like Minseok's plan is about 90% successful.
