[Season 2] I'll always support you
Knot (7)



정국
Sigh....

It was a situation where all I could say was a sigh. I really wanted to avoid this situation, where I was alone with the guy who was smiling sadly right in front of me.

I even felt resentful of the female protagonist for having to go change clothes at this particular time. I told her not to.


정국
"Well... it's okay since it was cute."

Jungkook chuckled again, completely oblivious to Taehyung, who was watching him with amusement right in front of him.


태형
That's too much. Thinking about other people in front of other people?


정국
"That's right, there was this kid."

Taehyung pretended to lower the corners of his mouth and guided Jungkook to a room in the middle of the hallway.


태형
Standing in the hallway and talking is a bit weird, isn't it?

Jungkook still remained vigilant against Taehyung and followed the instructions to his seat in the room.

Actually... this room was where Taehyung met Seokju earlier. (It doesn't really affect the story development... but it's just like that hehe)


태형
............. Who said they would come wearing a suit...?

Yes. As soon as we sat down facing each other, we were at a loss for words.


정국
...I'm curious about that too.

He made a suit and came wearing it. The heroine didn't show up for a long time.


태형
This time, you and the female protagonist will stand as witnesses.


정국
That's what happened.


태형
... thank you.


정국
What, no way...

"Not at all." That textbook-like phrase, the one you hear when learning "your welcome" in English or "bu keqi" in Chinese, came out of Jeongguk's mouth.

At this point, the situation has become so awkward that it couldn't get any more awkward.


태형
Wow... Really... I'm speechless.


정국
Yeah, with me.

What Jeongguk said was the same as saying, 'You don't have much to say to me, but you probably have a lot to say to Yeoju.'


태형
Heh, don't worry.


태형
Old friend.......


태형
...I won't do anything that crosses that line.


정국
Old friend....


정국
The female protagonist said the same thing.

Silence fell again. Taehyung offered Jungkook coffee with a nod, and Jungkook accepted.

Taehyung couldn't hide the feeling of relief from the awkward atmosphere on his face, and he got up from his seat, walked over to the coffee machine, and started extracting espresso.


정국
"Ha.... Now I can finally catch my breath."


태형
"Coffee Machine God... If you weren't here, I probably would have..."


태형
"...I would have suffocated to death."

Finally, Taehyung turned off the coffee machine with a regretful expression and brought two cups of coffee.

Jungkook accepted the cup of coffee Taehyung offered him and swallowed a small amount, just to get a taste.


정국
"Hey ShiX why are you writing like this!?1!?!??!?"


정국
"I asked for it because I thought I wouldn't be able to survive without at least some coffee... but did I ask for it for nothing... I'm going crazy haha."

But even while thinking like that, Jeongguk maintained a perfect poker face.

Taehyung asked Jeongguk, who had his eyes closed, as if he were a Western nobleman taking a photo shoot with a cup of coffee, as if he was surprised.


태형
Don't you use it?


태형
It's amazing. Even the most hardcore coffee enthusiasts avoid these beans.

Jungkook opened his eyes and glared at Taehyung. Taehyung chuckled and shrugged one shoulder.


정국
"Obviously... he knows I can't eat what I write, so he's doing this."


정국
..........................this kid..........

Just then, the door to the room where Jeongguk and Taehyung were sitting opened with a bang, and Yeoju peeked her head out.


여주
Oh, you're here!

The navy blue suit, which matched the heroine's fair skin tone, went well with her calm (well, sometimes a bit noisy) image.

...and Taehyung and Jeongguk's eyes couldn't take their eyes off Yeoju.

Of course, that's partly because the heroine's appearance shines so brightly, but the decisive reason is probably...


태형
"Haha, great timing... If you hadn't come, Yeoju, that bastard Jeon Jungkook would have definitely been pouring coffee on me... hahaha."


정국
"Haha, great timing... If you hadn't come, I would have been pouring coffee on that TH bastard... hahaha."
