Senior, please only look at me
8 | Senior, please only look at me.
전정국
That's right. Dating.
김태형
yes?
전정국
That's right. My sister and I are dating. Right?
이여주
Huh? Huh...
김태형
How can I believe that?
전정국
Do you think I have to kiss you in front of you to believe you?
이여주
J, Jeongguk, go get ready.
전정국
···okay.
Jungkook glanced at me, then glanced at Taehyung before heading off to get ready. An awkward silence hung between Taehyung and me.
김태형
Since when?
이여주
yes···?
김태형
How long have you been dating?
이여주
Since last night...
김태형
I gave her homework, but she didn't even finish it and ended up meeting another guy.
이여주
I solved it.
김태형
So tell me, what do you want me to say?
이여주
Taehyung, you like me, right?
김태형
I figured it out. So you knew that and still dated Jungkook?
이여주
That's right...
김태형
Then why did you catch it then? Why did you catch it and confuse people instead of just leaving it alone? Why are you still worrying and doing that?
이여주
People look so different, so of course I'm worried.
김태형
Don't worry about me anymore. Don't make a fool of me.
이여주
When did I make a fool of you?
김태형
Your actions right now are making me look stupid. Please clarify. If you have a boyfriend, please do so.
From then on, silence continued, and he welcomed the guests. Taehyung played a song absentmindedly and ushered them to their seats.
이여주
It's my first time hearing this song...
The song playing was one I'd never heard before at the bar. Thinking Taehyung had added a new song, I prepared my hands, but listened a little more intently. As I continued listening, I heard this line.
"You can't hold back a heart that's about to leave. Your feelings are yours..."
As soon as I heard it, my eyes turned to Taehyung. I suspected that perhaps he had chosen this song for me. It was a song that perfectly suited our current situation.
이여주
under···.
‘Tiring-’
A customer came in and sat down at the bar in front of me. She was a woman, her shoulders slumped, as if she'd just parted ways, and her face looked utterly sad. She sat down and didn't say anything, so I spoke to her first.
이여주
What would you like me to prepare for you?
G
What is so wrong with me···. Sob sob···.
Suddenly, after saying this, the guest began to cry. As I had expected, it seemed like a proper farewell. I looked at the guest and immediately prepared a cocktail.
이여주
Mai Tai is a cocktail. It means "the best" in Tahitian. In my eyes, the customer is the best. There's nothing wrong with it.
G
Huh... Really...?
이여주
sure.
I smiled at the customer. I was confused myself, but I thought it would make things even more difficult if I showed it to the customer, so I pretended I wasn't in trouble.
G
By the way... what is difficult for you, bartender?
이여주
yes?
G
The bartender looks tired too.
이여주
How can I look so tired?
G
I'm not sure, but it seems like you have a lot on your mind.
이여주
There are a lot of worries...
G
He was smiling, but his emotions weren't hidden from me...
이여주
Was that so? I guess my expression can't hide my feelings.
After chatting with the guest like that, he finished his cocktail, thanked me, and encouraged me before leaving.
이여주
Your expression is completely revealed. Even if you try to hide it...
As I was about to lift my glass, my hand touched someone's. The only person who could touch a glass here was Taehyung. Of course, it was Taehyung. Our hands touched briefly, and then we parted ways in an instant.
김태형
Oh, I'm sorry.
이여주
Me too... I'm sorry.
Seriously, what's so apologetic about this? Just a quick brush of the hand. We must be really awkward with each other. Even our conversation has become awkward.
전정국
Sister.
이여주
Huh? When did you come?
전정국
I love you.
이여주
Huh? Me too...
Jungkook suddenly came and said he loved me, then left again. My heart was always on edge because of Jungkook, who would drive straight ahead without brakes.
I have to worry about Jeongguk, who's like that, and about Taehyung, who's just awkward. I can't get my mind right. I can't even tell for sure who I'm really attracted to. Of course, I know I'm the problem. Why is this happening because of me...
I'm torn between whether it's right to continue with Jungkook, who's now my boyfriend, or whether it's right to go back to Taehyung, who still likes me. I've never had a hard time with men, but right now, it's so hard.
김태형
senior.
이여주
yes?!
김태형
You said you had a lot of worries earlier. Are you worried because of me?
If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up.
