What if two lovers were high school classmates?
Excluding Taehyung, the three of them are the same age. Taehyung is one year younger.
박지민
- hello?
박지민
- I called to see if our Lee Hee was doing well.
박지민
- We're doing well.
박지민
- Would you like me to change the female lead?
도여주
- Yes, mother -
도여주
- Oh, Leehee, are you sleeping?
도여주
- No, we are more grateful that you took care of Lee Hee… .
도여주
- Yes, I'll have fun-ㅎ
도여주
- Thank you so much, Mom_
The phone call was cut off. Jimin, sitting in the driver's seat, placed his hand on the passenger headrest and asked the female lead.
박지민
Where are you two?
도여주
Well… I’ll just make one phone call.
···
차여주
How long does it take to get to the pension?
김태형
Estimated time of arrival… It will take about 4 hours.
차여주
If you're tired, just tell me and I'll drive.
김태형
It's okay-. That won't happen.
The woman holding a cold Americano in her car's cup holder. She wrapped a tissue around the plastic cup, taking in the water droplets forming along its surface, and took a sip.
The female protagonist, who had just taken her mouth off the straw, brought it closer to Taehyung's mouth, who was staring straight ahead while driving. Taehyung was naturally biting the straw.
김태형
The ice is almost all melted lol
차여주
So-. It's tingly.
Rrrrrrrrr. At that moment, Yeoju's cell phone rang. After confirming that the caller was 'Yeoju', she answered the phone right away.
차여주
- Yes, ma'am.
Taehyung glanced at the female protagonist sitting next to him.
차여주
- We're on our way now. Where are you?
차여주
- Where is this place?
When asked, "Taehyung, where are we?", Taehyung replied that he was passing by the Manggae rest area.
차여주
- Yeah, I'm passing by Manggae rest area.
차여주
- Is there anything we need to buy on our way?
차여주
- Oh, okay-. Okay then.
차여주
- If there's a mart in front of the pension, let's go shopping together there.
차여주
- Uh-. Okay, you too, be careful-.
As soon as Yeo-ju hangs up the phone, Tae-hyung asks, "Are you Do-yeo-ju's older sister?"
차여주
Yeah-. Yeoju.
차여주
I'm excited because it's been so long since I've seen you.
···
도여주
…Honey. I'm sleepy.
박지민
Oh, ma'am. Lay back on the seat and get some sleep.
Jimin, who was so quick to respond that he was scared when the female lead said she was sleepy, took the female lead's hand that he held out to me.
도여주
…Aren’t you tired?
박지민
I'm okay-.
도여주
… My husband has had a hard time...
"What a struggle." Jimin smiles and touches the female lead's hand. The traffic light turns red, so he steps on the brakes and checks on the female lead next to him.
도여주
Cha Yeo-ju, it feels like it's been a really long time since I've seen you.
박지민
So. Kim Taehyung too-.
도여주
Shouldn’t we buy something…?
박지민
We talked on the phone earlier, you said you were going to meet up and go shopping.
도여주
Ah... still.
도여주
It's called a trip... so it'd be nice if there was a lot to eat, right?
The heroine, with her eyes tightly closed, was thinking about something. Then, as if something had just occurred to her, she opened her eyes.
도여주
Beach… summer… vacation… .
도여주
…Okay, I decided.
박지민
Yeah-haha what did you decide on?
도여주
… … Sashimi… I want to eat sashimi.
Speaking of which, I suddenly feel more drawn to it. Yeoju, her lips licking at the thought of the raw fish, stared at Jimin. Her eyes seemed to be pleading for permission.
But Jimin’s expression as he stares at the female lead is not good….
박지민
…….
박지민
……no.
With a tingle, a sound effect rang in Yeoju's ears. With a look of utter injustice, Yeoju spoke to Jimin. Why...?
박지민
…You shouldn’t eat it-.
도여주
…….
A brief silence. While the heroine still held Jimin's hand, the light turned green again, forcing Jimin to lift his foot off the brake.
Meanwhile, the heroine ponders deeply. Then, a thought suddenly crosses her mind...
도여주
…you, no way.
도여주
Oh, Park Jimin-. Are you talking about that?
박지민
…….
도여주
… Hey- that’s all in the past-.
박지민
Still no good.
"...What if I eat it again and get food poisoning?" Jimin continued, his expression distraught. He was firmly refusing the female lead's request.
도여주
… That was just bad luck back then…
박지민
Oh, I was unlucky - I got food poisoning twice from eating raw fish in the summer and had to be hospitalized?
박지민
You were taken to the emergency room at that time, threw up everything you ate for a while, and were hospitalized for a month. You suffered a lot.
도여주
…I remember. I don’t, I don’t…
The doctor told her to avoid anything raw. Jimin's stern attitude left the female protagonist speechless, her mouth tightly shut. She was busy watching Jimin's every move.
도여주
Just say it… Why are you being so serious… so scary?
박지민
…….
Jimin stops staring straight ahead and glances at Yeoju, who shrinks back and avoids his gaze for no reason.
It was a space where two people were frozen for a moment.
···
Taehyung and (Cha) Yeoju arrived at the mart first. As soon as Taehyung got out, he called Jimin.
김태형
- Brother, where are you?
박지민
- You're here, I can see you.
Taehyung took his phone off his ear and looked around the supermarket parking lot, as if he could see him. He waved lightly at a car coming in from over there, saying he could see him.
Jimin parked his car next to Taehyung's. (Do) Yeoju, who was in the passenger seat, quickly got out and hugged (Cha) Yeoju as soon as he saw her.
차여주
What the heck, Do Yeo-ju, why are you so pretty?
도여주
… You’re saying things you don’t mean.
차여주
…How did you know?
While the two women were exchanging greetings, two men stood at a distance and watched them.
김태형
Long time no see, bro.
박지민
Well, it's been a while since we last contacted each other.
김태형
Oh, you know what?
김태형
Earlier, Do Yeo-ju contacted me.
박지민
…Do Yeoju?
김태형
Yes. I suddenly got a KakaoTalk message.
박지민
What did you say?
Taehyung hands Jimin his phone. On the screen, there was a message the female protagonist sent to Taehyung.
"Kim Taehyung, I got scolded by Park Jimin. He seems really angry at me. What should I do?"
Indeed, the two of them hadn't spoken a word since the argument over the "cooking." Jimin soon looked up from his phone and looked at Yeoju.
김태형
Why, why did you do that?
Jimin, who was constantly washing his face, was standing next to him. Taehyung, who saw the two women entering the mart, led Jimin there.
차여주
Let's see... the things we need to buy...
(Cha) Yeo-ju, who was looking through the notes on her phone, put the ingredients one by one into the cart.
Of course, it was Jimin and Taehyung's job to pull the cart, and the two female leads were busy just throwing the things they needed to buy into the cart.
김태형
… Sister, can I just buy it like this?
차여주
Just buying it. I'm just buying two days' worth of food.
김태형
Can you eat all of this?
차여주
of course.
Taehyung, who had been quietly watching the ingredients being continuously added to the cart, opened his mouth. But, sister.
김태형
We bought some for our company too. Do we really need this much?
It was a moment when Yeoju's eyes sparkled more than ever.
