Senior, please only look at me

11 | Senior, please only look at me.

김태형

Senior... Let's go.

Jungkook turned around like that, and Taehyung grabbed my shoulder, which was weak from crying, and came right back in. He then sent me into the bartender's room, where he'd been doing some minor construction work in the corner.

김태형

Take a break here.

이여주

I···!

I stopped Taehyung as he was about to leave. Then, with tears welling up in his eyes, I spoke to him.

이여주

sorry···.

김태형

What are you sorry about?

이여주

It's just... everything... I feel like I've made it too hard for Taehyung...

김태형

Then please let me forget all that hardship.

이여주

How···.

김태형

Please go out with me, senior.

I hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. Our long, difficult relationship was over.

I can't guarantee that this really tough time will end, but I'll try. Because I don't want it to be any harder. And I don't want to make things harder because of me.

김태형

Thank you, senior.

Taehyung hugged me so tightly that it felt so good. I wrapped my arms around Taehyung's back. In the end, I hugged Taehyung, not Jungkook, who was begging to be held.

Then, suddenly, the image of Jungkook singing that song came to mind. I clearly didn't like it, but why did that image keep lingering in my head? That song was truly so sad.

김태형

Sister.

이여주

yes···?!

김태형

Is senior better?

이여주

No, call me sister... Sister is more...

Suddenly, all I could think about was Jungkook. Maybe it was because he'd never heard anyone call him "sister" before, but I couldn't figure out why I was acting like this. I tried to hold back the tears, but I couldn't, and they just kept flowing.

이여주

Ha... I'm sorry... Seriously, why are you like that...

김태형

I'll call you "senior," just for now. And when you cry in front of me, just cry. Don't hold it back. You'll get sick if you do.

이여주

Taehyung is a really good person...

김태형

Now that we're lovers, Taehyung is a bit like that.

이여주

···yes?

김태형

Stop talking. Senior. How long are you going to call me Taehyung?

이여주

ah···.

김태형

Take a break. I'll do it.

이여주

Oh, but still...

김태형

Just sit there. If you love me.

이여주

Ah... where is that...?

김태형

And additionally, if you don't tell me, I'll know that you don't love me.

이여주

no···.

김태형

I love you, senior.

Taehyung, who smiled like that and said he loved me, left. No, it was Taehyung. I didn't know he was just telling me to rest, and I was worried that if I went alone and took it seriously, it would seem like I didn't love him, so I couldn't leave and didn't know what to do.

If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up.
