Rose in the bush
Episode 22



정은지
Minju, did you practice a lot?


정은지
Yesterday was my first time starring, so I was really worried.

Minju smiled and answered Eunji's words.


김민주
It was okay because my seniors took good care of me.


김민주
So what are we doing today?


김민주
Are you reading today too?

Eunji shook her head at Minju's question and pointed to the props.


정은지
No, I'm going to practice today. And I'm going to practice too.


정은지
Well, there's no need to worry though.


정은지
Since your counterparts are Taehyun and Yoonseo, they will help you if you have a hard time.


김민주
Oh my, is Senior Yoonseo helping you?


김민주
I heard you're the head of the company, so I'm really glad.


김민주
Besides, since Taehyun is my partner, I think I can do really well.

Minju came running up to me, feeling happy.

I wasn't in a good mood because of what happened with Taehyun, but I accepted it.

Because Minju was not guilty of anything.


노윤서
Don't worry, I'll help you if you need anything.

After hearing my answer, Minju approached Taehyun and extended her hand to shake his.


김민주
Taehyun, you know, I want to try acting well.


김민주
So, please don't speak coldly to me when I'm acting.


김민주
I'm confident I can act like I'm really in love.

Everyone in the practice room turned their attention to Minju's words and actions.


김민주
Of course, there are many areas where I am lacking, but I want to do well.


김민주
So please help me.

Taehyun looked at Minju's outstretched hand with a blunt expression, then quickly took it.


강태현
Okay, let's do our best.

Then Taehyun whispered in Minju's ear

He whispered so coldly that only Minju could hear.


강태현
How long do you think you can fool me?


강태현
I guess you've really come to your senses. I'll just let you off this once.

Minju frowned for a moment, but quickly smiled.


김민주
Okay, let's do our best!

Taehyun's expression after whispering was a smile, but I could tell.

I mean the coolness and coldness hidden within it.

In fact, Taehyun already knew Minju.

Because I can still vividly remember the first time I saw you in high school.

The first time I saw it was during my first year of high school entrance ceremony.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Minju saw Taehyun.

Because that was the first time Minju experienced unrequited love.


박규리
Hey, where are you looking?

Gyuri followed Minju's gaze and nodded as if it was natural.


박규리
As expected, Kang Tae-hyun.


김민주
What? Do you know him?

Gyuri burst into laughter at Minju's question.


박규리
He's famous. He's handsome and good at studying.


박규리
There's probably no one who doesn't know him, right?


박규리
You really don't care about anyone else but yourself, do you?

While Gyuri was talking about Taehyun, Minju chewed over Taehyun's name.


김민주
Kang Taehyun... My name is Taehyun...
