Rose in the bush
Episode 2
As I entered Ryujin's house, Ryujin greeted me with a smile.
신류진
Forget him now. We're still young.
신류진
I think I'll go today and make some new connections.
Was it because of Ryu Jin's unique atmosphere?
Thanks to you, I was able to be much more comfortable.
노윤서
Did you make it by saying you're making a boyfriend?
Ryu Jin shook his head in response to my question.
신류진
Have you seen me dating someone seriously?
신류진
Besides, they just don't take it seriously.
노윤서
then?
노윤서
Are you doing that again today?
Ryu Jin waved his hand in response to my question.
신류진
Do you think I do that all the time?
신류진
I've said it before. If you find someone you truly like, date them.
Ryu Jin's charm is always his confidence.
A charm that makes anyone fall for it.
노윤서
So, did you break up with the girl you were seeing before?
신류진
I've already sorted things out with him.
Ryu Jin is clean in both meeting and parting.
It's always been that way. And I don't date people who are always sincere to me.
The reason is Ryu Jin's painful past.
When Ryu Jin was in high school, there was a boy she dated.
Ryu Jin and I were the same age.
As that boy and Ryu Jin started dating, we naturally became close, but...
Unfortunately, our ending wasn't good. It wasn't a good ending...
And from then on, Ryu Jin started going to clubs (right after becoming an adult, of course).
I was worried about Ryu Jin, so I summoned up my courage and called him, but the boy never answered the phone.
I just left a message on her voicemail and that was the end of our relationship.
신류진
I didn't go for a while because the water wasn't that good.
노윤서
Then I didn't bother you for nothing?
신류진
You know my personality. And I have to go today.
신류진
Our Yunseo is going, but I feel uneasy about sending you away alone.
신류진
I heard the water is good these days, so I'm going to go check it out.
Ryu Jin's words made me smile.
I thought I had lost everything, but it seems to be telling me that wasn't the case.
신류진
Stand here.
Ryu Jin took a gift box out of the closet and held it out.
신류진
It's a gift. I didn't originally intend to give it to you now.
신류진
I think it would suit you well right now.
The clothes Ryu Jin gave me were simple, yet they accentuated my neckline.
신류진
Merry Christmas in advance.
신류진
Yunseo.
I burst into tears at that moment.
It was something I hadn't even heard from my ex-boyfriend...
When I heard that from my friend, I felt so miserable.
Ryu Jin appeared in front of me, flustered at the sight of me crying.
Looking at Ryu Jin like that
I wiped away my tears and made a promise.
노윤서
Ryu Jin-ah... Thank you... I'll forget about Seo Kyung-hwan and start anew.
노윤서
From now on, I will live proudly and as I please.
This was the first promise I made after breaking up with him.
