J-Hope Fanfic | To you again, - Thirteen. How those men help

On the way to the cafe with Yoongi, he suddenly burst into laughter to himself and looked at Yeoju.

민윤기

Did you sleep well? So?

신여주

Stop teasing me.......

민윤기

No, it’s genuinely the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that. It left such a strong impression that I keep thinking about it.

As Yoongi laughed loudly again, Yeoju pulled the hood of her hoodie down low out of embarrassment.

It was Yoongi who extended a helping hand when the female lead was silently screaming at J-Hope's words that he had no schedule on a day like today and would be staying home all day.

민윤기

Shall we go to a cafe together? We could also make plans for the future.

She is truly an angel. She is the heroine who came out grabbing that hand of salvation.

He entered a small nearby cafe, ordered a drink, and took out a piece of paper and a pen, handing them to Yeoju.

민윤기

First, let's sort out our thoughts. In that world, a person named Jung Hoseok disappeared, and in this world, Shin Yeoju disappeared.

민윤기

There is no guarantee that there is a connection, though. Assuming it is not a coincidence, I am going to try writing down Yeoju's memories from that other world. Her birthplace. Her childhood home. People she met during her upbringing. Places she worked. Something like that.

신여주

Ah, it looks like a puzzle.

민윤기

I just thought it might be easier to think about if we looked at the similarities and differences.

신여주

Teacher Yoon-gi is really smart👍

The female lead looked at with admiration

신여주

Min Yoon-gi, genius, super awesome man, pfft!

When I shouted that, he smiled with a wide grin.

민윤기

Hahaha, what is that?

Namjoon, who was sitting opposite J-Hope handling various tasks, let out a smirk.

제이홉

Why are you laughing?

김남준

No... it reminded me of you, Yeoju.

제이홉

.....Seriously, that woman. Haa..... There is no hope for her.

As J-Hope shook his head and sighed, Namjoon smiled and nodded.

김남준

So, nothing special happened yesterday?

It was a question Namjoon threw at J-Hope's neat personality, having only heard the story that the female lead took alcohol out of the refrigerator and drank it because she missed "Hoseok."

However, there is no answer from him, whom I expected to react with unexpected disgust.

As Namjoon looked up while sorting various bills and documents, J-Hope, who had been touching his lips, hurriedly lowered his hand and nodded.

제이홉

Uh—it wasn't there.

김남준

......

제이홉

......

김남준

Hop-ah.

After letting the brief, awkward silence pass, Namjoon called out to him.

김남준

Don't give your heart to Yeoju too much.

제이홉

What do you mean, give your heart—don't talk nonsense.

김남준

You're a top star right now. Falling is instantaneous. You've worked hard to get here, haven't you?

제이홉

.....know.

김남준

To be honest, I'm actually nervous about you being here, Yeoju. I can't kick you out, so I'm pretending not to notice, though.

제이홉

That's why I told you to look into it. Like a place to live, too.

김남준

Things like that, too. You don't need to worry about things like that. Honestly, I......

제이홉

They say he used to be married.

Hobi cut off Namjoon's worried words and spoke.

제이홉

That woman and a man named Jeong Hoseok. They say they suddenly died at the wedding. That's what I heard yesterday.

제이홉

After the funeral ended, he opened his eyes and found himself here. He saw me. So he said he was very happy.

제이홉

It must be hard for her to see me, too. We look exactly alike, but she has to treat me like a stranger.

Namjoon's gaze quietly, yet coldly, scanned J-Hope's expression.

제이홉

They say you came to this world to meet someone named 'me'. I'm sorry I'm not Jung Hoseok, though.

김남준

.......

제이홉

But shouldn't we at least help them live like decent human beings?

Namjoon let out a small sigh inwardly.

Anyway, he acted like he was the smart one all by himself.

김남준

Okay, fine. I suppose I can help since I can earn the money back. But don't give me your heart.

제이홉

.......

김남준

That is absolutely not. Absolutely. Absolutely.

민윤기

Ah, so you weren't adopted in that other world?

신여주

Yes. I stayed in an orphanage until I became an adult, along with Hoseok. We worked part-time together to save money and became independent when we were twenty.

민윤기

Hmm... so there is no information about this person named Shin Gu-hyeon. I guess I'll have to go and see for myself. As expected...

신여주

You said the reason the female lead lost her identity was because she couldn't get a paternity certificate. Usually, don't you have to go through all those procedures when adopting?

민윤기

That's true. I understand that the adoption process is quite complicated as well.

Yoon-gi looked at the papers Yeoju had written on and systematically made plans with her.

Yungi, who had been staring at the paper for a while, quietly put it down and looked at Yeoju.

민윤기

You might get a father, Yeoju.

신여주

.......Father....

I am singing this for the first time in my life.

Those three unfamiliar letters created a slight tension I hadn't anticipated until now.

민윤기

To find the real Shin Yeoju who was in the other world, you might have to become that "Shin Yeoju"—you would become the Shin Yeoju who has lost her memory.

신여주

ah.....

민윤기

Are you sure you'll be okay? If it feels burdensome or worrying, it might be better to just stop here and create a different identity. Or you could try finding another way.

The female lead hesitated for a moment.

Here. Living as a new Shin Yeo-ju?

It’s an unexpected turn of events, though.

신여주

I'll give it a try.

The female lead nodded with determination.

신여주

For some reason, I feel like if I solve the female lead's mystery, I'll be able to figure out why Hoseok suddenly died, too. You said it wasn't a coincidence, Yoongi, right? I think so too.

Yungi looked at the female lead, who was speaking clearly with a smiling face.

신여주

I'm not very good at acting... but since I really don't have any memories, I think I can do that well!

민윤기

.....Pfft.

At the sight of the female lead clenching both fists tightly, the corners of his mouth, which had been gradually curving upward, parted slightly, and a smile escaped him.

민윤기

Yeoju, you are charming.

신여주

......yes?

민윤기

The more I look at it, the cuter it is.

[Author's Note] Ahhhhhh~ The concert was so good ㅠ I regretted not buying tickets for both days ㅠㅠㅠ I completely fell for Wook Hoseok ㅠㅠㅠ Haa... There wasn't a single point about our oppas that I couldn't fall for ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
