Someone precious to you (short story)
Someone precious to you


Three years have passed since that incident.

Jungkook and I are 22 years old and in college. Jungkook probably enlisted in the military right after graduating from high school.

Since we don't go to the same university, we don't have time to meet, and since our majors are different, we fight every day we meet.

Jungkook yells at me saying that I don't know how hard this course is, and I yell at him saying that I don't know that I'm the only one having a hard time, and the promise to him ends after a 10-minute argument at most.

Today, a day without classes, I went to Jeongguk's university to apologize for the past time.

강여주
"Jungkook...uh...what department did you say you were in..."

We've been fighting so much lately that we've forgotten about the state of affairs.

강여주
"Ah, the design department!"

As I arrived there, getting information from people, it seemed like they were finished and people were coming out.

And then, Jungkook, who was on the tall side, caught my eye.

강여주
"affection,..."

As he was about to sing brightly, people started leaving, and Jeongguk noticed the woman standing next to him.


전정국
"This seems a bit bland. I think we need to change the font or... add something more to the text."

강연주
"thank you!"


전정국
"Oh, okay~"

A smile spread across my face at the sight of Jeongguk's bright smile, which I hadn't seen in a long time, but my expression hardened even more when I heard a woman's voice.

And after that woman left, Jeongguk and I made eye contact in the hallway.


전정국
"Why are you here?"

강여주
"ah,..."

It was disappointing. It's no different from two years ago.

His speech, his expression... reminds me of that time two years ago.

강여주
"...Do you like that girl? That girl from earlier..."


전정국
"I'm not the kind of trash who would cheat on my girlfriend."

강여주
"...Then, if I don't have a girlfriend... you'll be happy... since you didn't deny it when I asked if you liked me..."

My heart doesn't do that... but I keep saying strange things.

But... I wish you would hug me now and say it was just a joke.

Otherwise... there would be no reason to dress up so nicely and bring a packed lunch.


전정국
"Ha... She's two years younger than me, so I have to treat her well. Should I curse her to her face? I don't think I've done anything so trashy that you'd suspect me of something so trivial..."

강여주
"You only talk trash. What do you mean you don't do trash? What you just said was trash. You didn't tell me your worries because it would be hard in the military, and now that you're here, you're telling me a little bit, but every time you open your mouth, you say you're having a hard time too..."

강여주
“Couldn’t you have just listened to my worries?”

강여주
"You called Kim Yeo-ju a piece of trash three years ago, and now you're going to call me a piece of trash too?"

강여주
"But if you think about it, you're worse than trash, you know that?"

No, this... I'm not serious... Jungkook, just let this go...


전정국
"Why are we talking about Kim Yeo-ju? Ha... Just go. Today..."

강여주
"Just break up."


전정국
"what?"

강여주
"Let's break up!!!"

My voice echoed faintly in the hallway.

My heart was at ease and suddenly broke.

강여주
"We fought, and when I came to try to make up, you were just hanging out with another woman, and your attitude is no different from three years ago, so we're both hurt. And I don't think you need to give me this lunchbox I worked so hard to make! Let's break up..."

강여주
"I'm not playing with people's hearts!,..."

It felt a bit awkward. No... I... have never felt that way.


전정국
"...Ha...Should I properly play a trick on someone's heart?"

강여주
"No, I don't need it. I just need our love to break, and I don't need anything else."

As we were talking about 3 years ago, something came to mind.

I was going to get revenge...

But, why is it still the same...

김여주
"..."

I didn't even know there was someone there.

(Jungkook's perspective)

I realized that I had been fighting with the female lead a lot lately, so I prepared a gift to cheer her up.


전정국
"The heroine will like it, right?"

So I waited for the lecture to end.

After the lecture, I was about to text Yeoju and leave right away, but God inadvertently gave me another ordeal.

A dirty pretty girl who has talent but doesn't use it much and always sleeps during class.

I've heard a lot about this kid.

She said she'd been flirting with guys since middle school because of her pretty face, but she couldn't help it because she was from a rich family...

And I also heard why I was one of those many men.

Just accept me because I'm handsome and draw the line...

I should have drawn the line from the beginning...

I came to ask if it was a clothing design, just a white t-shirt with the word 'thanks' written on it.

After trying to fix his expression and telling everyone everything, he made a subtle, mocking smile and disappeared.

My expression hardened after seeing that child's dirty laugh.

And what really solidified it was after I saw you in front of me, dressed in my favorite outfit, with a lunch box in front of me.

And the atmosphere became cold as I was saddened by the fact that your first words weren't greetings, and you linked me to that woman.

Without even realizing it, I blurted out harsh words to you. This isn't right... Jeon Jungkook

And when I came to my senses, it was that girl named Kim Yeo-ju, not you, Kang Yeo-ju, in front of me.

김여주
"hi?"


전정국
"...,

김여주
"Should I answer?"


전정국
"Kim Yeo-ju, hello?"

The girl smiled, as if satisfied with my expression and words.

김여주
"I saw you fight with the heroine, bringing up that incident. You really liked me. Otherwise, why would you have said something like that to her?"

강여주
"pruning,..."

Why did you come back again... of all times... right now...

강여주
"ah,..."

He turned around and grabbed your hand, pulling you towards him.

After lifting your chin, I pressed our lips together.

강여주
"Jeonjeong, huff-"

He lingered sweetly on her lips, then quickly swept his tongue across her lips and pulled them apart.


전정국
"See? I love the heroine."

(Yeoju's point of view)

At his words, my cheeks suddenly turned red.

Jungkook said he was going on a date with me, but I told him to go ahead and wait because I had something to tell Kim Yeo-joo.

After confirming that Jeongguk was leaving, he said with a bitter smile.

For some reason, this is the only smile I can give to Kim Yeo-ju...

강여주
"You must have known that Jungkook is the one who is precious to you, but to Jungkook, the one who is precious is no longer you, but me. That's why, you should have fallen in love with him first without hiding your feelings."

He whispered in my ear.

It's true that I was a little taken aback by Kim Yeo-ju's change from before,

This point has not changed.

That I am more perfect

So I walked towards Jeongguk.

김여주
"Kang Yeo-ju!!!!"

This is the same too...


전정국
"My lady, I'm sorry."


전정국
"Just look at me once, okay?"


전정국
"I won't forget that you are truly precious to me, Jiin-jjaro! Okay?"

강여주
"Phehheh- Okay. I love you."


전정국
"me too"

Actually, I don't think this is revenge.

I took over Kim Yeo-ju's position after Kim Yeo-ju was kicked out.

If you think about it, isn't that so...

I have never been physically violent towards her in the first place.

I was acting, and it was people who fell for it.

Kkeut-

The female lead's personality is really scary...ㅎㄷㄷ
