[Pump] Agomul
Episode 6
[In front of Yeo-eun's house]
여주
..Isn't this the boss's house? You don't want to take me back to your house..?
백현
..What are you talking about? All your luggage is here.
여주
..Ah..Me again haha
백현
Do you want to stay in the car or follow me up?
여주
Let's go up together!
No matter what, I decided to follow the old man up because I felt it would be rude to leave the house without saying goodbye after he had let me stay for a few days.
A question suddenly arises when we are alone in the elevator.
How did the old man and the boss, who seem to have no common ground in terms of personality or anything else, meet?
여주
Sir. How do you know the boss?
백현
High school classmate.
여주
Wow. Really?
백현
uh.
여주
Then, wow, we're old friends.
Considering the old man's current age (.....), he had been friends with the boss for over 10 years.
When I think about the fact that it's been two years since we met, I suddenly feel like there's a bit of a wall between us.
한여은
..? Why did you come here with such a lump?
백현
..hey.
여주
That's... I... I...
I was so sorry that it was hard for me to speak.
It was only a few days ago that I cried that I would never see my uncle again, let alone go home.
Not a week, but a few days ago.
백현
I'm going to take him back to our house.
한여은
What? Why? Kidnapping?
백현
...Oh really.
여주
Yeah..
백현
Hey, you speak up. I sound like a real kidnapper.
여주
(But I'm really so sorry..)
At the old man's urging, I had no choice but to open my mouth.
여주
I got a confession from my uncle!
한여은
...omg.
백현
No, if you say so...
여주
Why? That's right.
백현
No, that's true, but...
Did I confess? You confessed. Even confessions that don't seem like confessions are still confessions.
Seeing the embarrassed old man made me want to tease him even more.
한여은
Thief.
백현
........
한여은
Oh. No matter how I look at it, I feel so sorry for our heroine...
여주
Yeah..
한여은
Lady, won't you marry me?
It was a moment of shock. It really was.
But I had to try not to show it because the old man was glaring at me fiercely.
여주
I'm sorry, boss....
한여은
So. Did you come to get your luggage?
백현
Oh, I'll just take that.
한여은
Yes, that's right.
Since I didn't have much luggage when I first came in and I didn't unpack it properly, I was able to pack it up and leave quickly.
I was a little grateful to the man who carried the luggage with both hands, saying that it wasn't that heavy even though I tried to lift it.
한여은
Hey... See you at our company.
여주
Yes, sir! Thank you so much.
한여은
Yeah. Always be careful, Baekhyun!
백현
..Do you really want to do that until the end?
The car started moving again and arrived at the old man's house.
Even though I've only been away from home for a few days, it feels awkward and welcome to come back after months, and I wonder how I could have endured it without you coming.
백현
Okay. Unpack your bags in your room. I haven't touched them.
여주
Should I let it out in the uncle's room? 'ㅡ'
백현
Are you crazy?
여주
Why? We're dating now!
백현
...go in and sleep.
여주
(That's too much..)
KakaoTalk!
[Sir, I have to work overtime today ㅠㅠ I miss you but I can't stand it!] - Little one
KakaoTalk!
[No, if you can't stand it, you don't have to >_<] - Kid
백현
(..Oh my.)
Baekhyun smiled without realizing it at the message the female lead sent.
The only thing that bothers me is the still-same profile picture of the female lead.
It felt strange to have a picture of Minseok and me smiling affectionately on my profile.
백현
No. If you're dating me, you don't have to change your profile picture?
백현
..the only thing is that my eyes are a little small. Everything else is better for me.
Baekhyun muttered, looking back and forth between Minseok and the mirror.
백현
(I'm a little taller too.)
백현
(I'll make more money too..)
백현
(Kim Yeo-ju likes me too.)
Baekhyun was in a good mood with a strange sense of victory.
The female protagonist's company started to get busier and busier.
The female protagonist's workload increased, and naturally, she was often late.
Thanks to this, the time Baekhyun and Yeoju spend together has been reduced by two times.
If the female lead comes in early, Baekhyun comes in late, or if Baekhyun comes in early, the female lead comes in late. This was repeated.
So if by chance we meet while we are both awake.
여주
'..Hmph. We live together, but why has it been so long since I've seen your face?'
백현
'I know.'
여주
"Did you miss me too, sir?"
백현
'....Let's eat.'
Baekhyun, who still hadn't realized that he was dating the female lead, was more awkward than others when it came to expressing his affection.
Although she didn't expect a huge change, she thought things would be a little different since they were dating, so she couldn't help but be disappointed to see Baekhyun acting the same as before.
One day, when I couldn't stand it any longer, I did this.
여주
'mister.
백현
'huh?'
여주
'How am I doing today?'
백현
'Your clothes are weird.'
When the heroine appeared in front of Baekhyun wearing the shortest clothes she owned.
Baekhyun's reaction was similar to how an older brother would react to his younger sister.
여주
'...The clothes...are strange?'
백현
'huh.'
여주
'Is that the end? Really?'
백현
'..Is it going to hurt my bones?'
"Oh, isn't that really too much?" Thanks to Baekhyun's reaction, the female lead had to change clothes again and come out, completely embarrassed.
Is this normal? Are all couples like this? No matter what, this isn't right...?
여주
"Sir, you like me, right?"
백현
'huh.'
여주
'...Do you get excited when you see me?'
백현
'huh.'
여주
'...Put some soul into it.'
The female lead was getting more and more tired of this kind of thing every time.
No matter how much I like Baekhyun, I get rejected in everything, so my love for him, which was so high it seemed like it would pierce the sky, is slowly lowering, and I wonder how long this pattern will continue.
여주
Sir...
한여은
Okay.
여주
Sir, I don't think you like me.
한여은
We should just break up.
여주
Mr. Woo...
Even if you try to ask Yeo-eun for serious advice, she tells you to break up in the beginning, development, turn, and conclusion, so wouldn't you be upset?
When the relationship was at a standstill and the female lead was starting to dry up, she got a call from the man.
백현
"The company. Want to come and see it? This weekend."
여주
'Really? Is that okay?'
백현
'If not, I think it will come soon.'
여주
"Oh my. How did you know? I was just going to go find you..."
Yeo-ju, who was curious about what kind of company Baekhyun ran and where he worked, would whine whenever she had the chance to ask to see the company.
Baekhyun, who had always firmly refused every time, eventually gave in to the continued requests.
백현
"I'm busy, so I think I'll have to stay up all night today, and you need to come to the office tomorrow. Is that okay?"
여주
'Of course, that's okay.'
백현
"Okay, then. Get some sleep and come back sometime this weekend afternoon."
여주
'I love it!'
What should I wear? Seeing the excited female lead, Baekhyun felt good about giving permission.
I slept soundly as the old man said and when I woke up, it was already 11 o'clock.
I felt like I was sleeping more deeply because I was so tired from all the things going on.
Thanks to that, my eyes were swollen and puffy, so I slowly started preparing while placing the cold spoon on my eyelids.
여주
Is this too loud?
여주
..this is so depressing.
Since I didn't buy many clothes, there weren't any that I particularly liked.
As soon as I get my paycheck, the first thing I should do is buy clothes.
I had no choice but to take out the clothes I often wore and put them on, when I heard the door open.
여주
Who is it at this hour? Is it the boss?
여주
Who are you?
아줌마
...the female protagonist?
여주
auntie..
The uncle's mother.
She was a woman I knew well.
We haven't seen each other since the accident... It must have been a bad situation.
아줌마
..Why are you here, Yeoju? Where is Baekhyun?
여주
..Ah. The old man went to work, and what happened was..
The story, which began with my father's accident, ended much later.
As soon as I finished speaking, the woman's expression hardened considerably, and I had to tense up.
아줌마
So. You're dating Baekhyun?
여주
..yes.
아줌마
Are you out of your mind, you lady? I didn't see you like that...!
여주
..auntie.
아줌마
Ma'am, Baekhyun came here today to introduce me to a girl.
Introduction..? My heart felt like it was falling to the ground at the woman's words.
It feels like all sounds are fading away.
아줌마
But what is this? Baekhyun and you, do you not have any thoughts?
여주
.......
아줌마
Did you seduce our Baekhyun? He was a kid who only knew work...
I held back the tears that were about to burst out.
I clenched my fists even tighter, feeling like I would burst into tears if I let go.
