...Would you please listen to my story too?
When Jeongmin looks up at Jeongguk at Yeoju's incomprehensible words, Jeongguk continues speaking.
전정국
Where should I begin, sir...
Jeongguk is a bit clumsy, but he speaks quietly. He's not a smooth talker, so he cuts things off and only talks about important things.
전정국
From the beginning, I felt like a close friend. But after we started getting physical, I felt even more sorry.
전정국
Later on, I was embarrassed because Jeongmin was my teacher, but later on, I felt relieved because he seemed like a good person...
And so on. He looks at Yeoju with calm eyes and talks about this and that, but the hand holding the cup in front of him is shaking slightly. Yeoju can barely breathe and listen to his words, which are so serious. Jungkook moistens his throat with juice and continues talking.
전정국
Strangely, the teacher caught my eye.
전정국
Also, it was so nice to see him with Jeongmin, and I kept getting more and more interested in him.
Jungkook was so busy talking about himself that he didn't pay attention to Yeoju's expression, but when he came to, his face was red, he couldn't even blink, and he was looking at her with a slightly surprised expression. Yeoju must really look like a rabbit.
Jungkook would probably think that she was pretty when he saw her. He'd feel his heart pounding, smile faintly, and then finish speaking.
전정국
The teacher wasn't just... just a younger sibling.
전정국
Actually, I still don't know if this is right.
김여주
...Father...
전정국
I wonder if it's just a feeling I get from being alone for so long. But I can't stand seeing someone in pain.
전정국
I hate it even more that you get sick because of me.
The tears that had been welling up in her eyes gradually began to flow. She felt like she was about to burst, but Jeong-min was in her arms, so she held back her sobs. She forced herself to swallow her tears and snot. She kept wiping them away with one hand. Watching that, a part of Jeong-guk's heart ached as if a bubble had been opened.
전정국
I might not be able to do it well. I'm not the type to take care of things well to begin with.
김여주
...yes..
전정국
And I put Jeongmin first above everything else. ...I might make you lonely, teacher.
김여주
...i know..
전정국
...So, even at this moment, I'm a little afraid to say this
김여주
...
전정국
...Can you start with me like this?
