Rose in the bush
Episode 17


Walking home after reading.

I suddenly found myself crossing the Han River Bridge again that day.


노윤서
Wow... This is where I broke up with Seo Kyung-hwan...


노윤서
Why do I see you whenever I feel bitter?

The world is truly cruel.

Some people live busy lives desperately pursuing happiness.

Some people say that happiness comes to them on its own two feet.


노윤서
Ha... life is so bitter

The weather was still chilly, so my breath was spreading out.

Standing on that bridge that day, I feel even more resentful of the world today.


서경환
Honey, how was school today? It was your first time there.


김민주
Yeah, it was good. They did a great job.

I saw a couple talking affectionately across the bridge.

Looking closely, I saw Seo Kyung-hwan and Min-ju crossing the bridge on the opposite side.


노윤서
Ha... Nothing's working. Did I misunderstand earlier? Seriously... Why am I like this?

Yunseo wiped her face with both hands.

At that moment, someone from behind put a hand on Yunseo's shoulder.


최범규
Sister, what are you doing here?


최범규
Are you leaving now?

Startled, I turned to the side.

Beomgyu asked calmly and came and sat down next to me.


최범규
Are you surprised? Sorry. I didn't know you'd be surprised.


최범규
It looks like there's no seat next to me. Can I sit down?

If it were normal, I would have pushed it away right away.

Already exhausted both physically and mentally, I just watched Beomgyu like that.


노윤서
Do as you please, I don't know anymore.


노윤서
What to do, what to do.

After hearing what I said, Beomgyu looked at my face.

He draped his coat over my shoulders.


최범규
I'm wearing it. It's very chilly today.


최범규
I guess something happened today. You don't have to tell me.


최범규
I guess something happened today. You don't have to tell me.


최범규
Why is that? I don't really want to talk about it.


최범규
A day when I wish someone was by my side.

I was lost in thought after hearing Beomgyu's words.

I thought maybe I really was like that


최범규
I'm sorry if I was rude.


최범규
I did that because it looked like my old self.


최범규
So just let it go this once.

A chilly breeze blew across the bridge. It wasn't cold.

The reason might have been because of Beomgyu's coat.

There were stars twinkling in the sky, but only a few were visible.

It seemed like it was not visible because it was obscured by the city lights of Seoul.


노윤서
Beomgyu. You know, I thought I lived really hard...


노윤서
I finally came back here. Actually, this is where I broke up with my ex.


노윤서
The day I met you was the day we broke up. How funny. This is the ending.

Beomgyu, who had been silent for a moment while I spoke, looked at me.


최범규
No, it's not funny. My older sister has grown up now.


최범규
Surely, the value of that effort will shine someday.


최범규
So until we become the sun from the stars.
