rough first love

Episode 58: The Happiness of the Person I Like

박지민

No, that's why I~

김여주

Zzzzz

The female protagonist, who had been training brutally for days, would just sleep when she got to school, and Jeongguk would also just sleep, so the two never had a chance to meet.

Yeo-ju focused on exercising all day to forget Jeong-guk.

How many weeks have passed like that?

The female protagonist's mind was already filled with the goal of winning the National Sports Festival, and Jeongguk only thought about it occasionally, when he had time.

As I devoted myself to practicing every day, the National Sports Festival was just a week away, and Yeoju was organizing the uniforms she would wear for the competition.

Then, I suddenly thought of Jungkook and looked at his KakaoTalk profile. The image was basic, befitting his personality, but there was something unique about it.

The KakaoTalk message was 'Please wait a moment' and it was marked as D-12, the end date of the National Sports Festival, not D-7, the start date.

The female protagonist was puzzled, but thought she was going on a trip with friends and turned her phone over.

He said he forgot about Jungkook, but he kept thinking about him while practicing, and he got annoyed because he thought Jungkook would be comfortable.

김여주

Aaaah!! This is so annoying..

When Jeongguk was cursing so much

김석진

Who else is swearing like that?

김여주

Mr. Lee...Senior Jeon Jungkook

김석진

..(pause) Hahaha really?

김여주

...There's something that hurts my brother

Seokjin has a habit: his ears turn red when he lies.

Of course, right now my ears are on the verge of bursting

김석진

Me? Not me?

김여주

Oppa, you can't fool me~ Tell me quickly, what are you fooling me about?

김석진

that is..

Seokjin finally tells Jeongguk about his situation.

김석진

Jungkook also trains like crazy like you. I told him to get some rest, but he said he absolutely has to win the gold medal in this competition and won't rest.

김석진

Even though the calluses on his hand that he uses to hold the arrow were all peeled off and bleeding, he went to the hospital and practiced right away.

김여주

...That's it?

김석진

It wasn't like this originally, but he said he had an important promise this time and that he was practicing like this to keep it.

김여주

...Okay, I'll sleep first because I have to work out tomorrow morning.

김석진

Oh yeah~ Take care of yourself too

06:09 AM

The next day

As Yeo-ju enters the gym to do her morning workout, she sees Tae-hyung stretching.

We haven't had any time alone together since Taehyung confessed, but now that we're alone together after three months, I have nothing to say and it's just awkward.

Although the two are mixed partners, they don't talk privately during training and only cheer each other on, so they don't talk to each other.

Even though the two of them confessed to each other and Chan-ae were together, they couldn't say anything.

After a long silence, it was Taehyung who broke it.

김태형

That... heroine

김여주

Uh..huh?

김태형

After this match, I plan to quit my career as a player and work at my dad's company.

김여주

Huh?? Why all of a sudden?

김태형

..ㅎ나 I started exercising in the first place because I liked you

김여주

Oh..right..what do you mean sleep? I started exercising when I was 8?

김태형

Oh, but I liked you before so I was always by your side. I wanted to be with you a little longer.

김여주

So...it's been over 10 years..?

김태형

yes..

김여주

But why did I give up?

김태형

I...I want the person I like to be happy...so I gave up.

김태형

Even if I'm happy, the other person isn't happy... That's how I express my feelings.

김여주

That..

정호석

Oh? Taehyung came early?

박지민

Kim Yeo-ju, how come you always come home early? It's strange.

김태형

Haha let's get ready for training quickly. We have to win the gold medal in the last match.

김여주

Uh..uh..

As I practiced like that, it was already 1 day before the match, so I went to greet the principal.

While the badminton club was standing in the hallway, the archery club members came out of the principal's office and Jungkook was among them.

It's been almost two months

The heroine's heart raced and her face flushed red in an instant as emotions she thought she had forgotten came back to her.

I went straight into the principal's office to listen to the speech, but when I came out after hearing the speech from a place I couldn't remember where, Jeongguk was standing there.

The heroine quickly said hello and ran away.

전정국

Kim Yeo-ju!!

Jeongguk, who followed behind, calls Yeoju.

김여주

why..///

전정국

...Are you confident that you won't run away after hearing this?

김여주

yes..

전정국

I was planning on confessing to you while giving you the gold medal if you won this competition. I was so happy when you confessed to me, but I held back because I wanted to confess to you in a cooler way.

김여주

...

전정국

therefore..

Could you wait a little longer..?

김여주

...(nod)

전정국

Haha, then I'll go~ I need to practice to confess to you.

김여주

senior..

전정국

huh?

김여주

I'll definitely get first place.

전정국

..Okay, I'll be number one no matter what happens

With those words, Jeongguk leaves the alley.

김여주

Huh...my heart...

자까

Ahem~ Bad news for the Ukkas, but there will be a very, very short sweet potato in the next episode..ㅎ

자까

It's Sunday so I have nothing to do so I'm uploading this...ㅋㅋㅋ
