Regret and love

민윤기
Kim... Yeoju?

Yoongi is so surprised that he can't say anything and just stands there. Yeoju just stares at him blankly, asking what he's doing there. Yoongi gets on the elevator and stares at Yeoju, but he feels empty when he sees that she doesn't even glance at him.


민윤기
(How long have I been looking for you... heroine..)


민윤기
Have we become so close that we can't even talk to each other?

Only then does Yeoju look at Yoongi. He looks around with an expression as if to ask if she was the one who said that, but it's really just the two of them... She can't say anything... Feeling frustrated, she just lowers her head and hurriedly leaves when she hears a voice announcing the first floor.

Yoon-gi follows her in a hurry, grabs Yeo-ju's arm, and turns her around in a hurry, but Yeo-ju looks at Yoon-gi with a dumbfounded expression.


민윤기
Huh… Kim Yeo-ju… ! Don't you know who I am? I'm… Min Yoongi…

Kim Yeo-ju shook her head with a look of ignorance, and was about to text when Jungkook came over and put a hand on Yeo-ju's shoulder. Jungkook instinctively noticed Min Yoongi running towards Kim Yeo-ju from afar.


I'm sure that that person is directly or indirectly connected to Yeoju's older sister's past.


전정국
Team leader, what's going on?

Yoongi was staring blankly because he didn't understand the situation, but Jungkook


전정국
Then I'll eat first.

He said that and disappeared, taking the female protagonist by the hand.


민윤기
It was definitely Kim Yeo-ju... Pure white skin, red cheeks... Exactly like Kim Yeo-ju

------

I waited in front of the restaurant where Yoongi, Yeoju, and Jungkook were eating.

A few minutes later


전정국
(Coming out of the store) See you later, sis.


전정국
I don't have to work overtime today


전정국
I'm going home early

김여주
(Nodding)


전정국
(Note) Then I'm going!

After saying goodbye to Jungkook and saying they'd see each other later, he strode up behind Yeoju as she walked home and grabbed her arm. Yeoju's eyes widened, and she frowned, asking what he was doing, and looked at Yoongi, who was looking at her so pitifully...


민윤기
Can't you even pretend to know?

The female protagonist was flustered and at a loss as Yoon-gi muttered softly with an expression that looked like he was about to cry. The female protagonist quickly took a notepad out of her pocket.

김여주
'who are you'

Yoon-gi looks at Yeo-ju with a puzzled expression, and Yeo-ju stares at Yoon-gi intently and writes a few more words.

김여주
'Do you know me?'


민윤기
....

That's how Yoongi feels right now. It feels like his heart has plummeted to the ground. He looks at Yeoju with a frozen expression, but Yeoju immediately lets go of his arm and continues on her way. Yoongi approaches quickly, matching Yeoju's pace.


민윤기
Where are you going?

김여주
(With a note) 'Mart...'


민윤기
That's great, I brought my car, so I'll drive there.

김여주
(With a note) 'It's okay'


민윤기
Hey~ Why? Just ride along.


민윤기
Do you know how far the supermarket is from here?

김여주
(I told you it was okay, but you keep doing that)

The female protagonist insisted that it was okay, that it was okay, and that he should go, but Yoon-ki stubbornly clung to her. It felt like if it wasn't now, he'd never see her again, and she seemed to be the Kim Yeo-ju he was looking for.

In the end, he was about to leave with Yeo-ju in his car when he asked her.


민윤기
Why... aren't you talking?


민윤기
Do you have a cold?

김여주
(With a note) ‘Oh… I have aphasia.’

Yoongi stops driving and stares at Yeoju intently. When I ask if she was originally unable to speak, she denies it. She says she was in a serious car accident. She says she suffered from amnesia and aphasia as a result of the accident.


민윤기
Name...what's your name?

김여주
(With notepad) 'Kim Yeo-ju'


민윤기
When is your birthday?

김여주
(Notepad) 'June 9th...'

Yoongi takes his hands off the steering wheel and looks at Yeoju, his eyes bloodshot. It's the Kim Yeoju he's been desperately searching for...


민윤기
Uh..when did the accident happen?

김여주
(With a note) 'About four months ago'

I heard it was four months ago, so it must have been around the time of our last phone call. Yoongi was so shocked that his mouth wouldn't open...

I vividly remember what I did to the female protagonist who cried and confessed her love at that time... I told her that I didn't love her anymore when she asked what I should do...

The last cry of the female protagonist who heard those words is vivid in my ears.. What kind of expression did you have four months ago?.. What happened to you during those four months that I don't know about..
