token of love

07 Summary _ Yoon Il-bi

I'm back where I was led by Seokjin-sunbae last time. The place where I had a meal with Seokjin-sunbae. Seokjin-sunbae, who had offered me a helping hand when I was at a loss after meeting Kim Taehyung, now... feels so awkward.

As soon as I sat down, it was senior Seokjin who turned the order sheet towards me and started talking to me.

김석진 [26]

"What will Yeoju eat?"

신여주 [20]

"I'll have pasta, cream pasta."

신여주 [20]

"What would you like to eat, senior?"

김석진 [26]

"I'm going to order a steak. Would you like some too?"

신여주 [20]

"I don't really feel like eating today."

김석진 [26]

"The drink is grapefruit ade, right?"

You remember every little detail...

신여주 [20]

"Yes, it's grapefruit ade."

김석진 [26]

"I'd like to order."

"Yes, go ahead."

김석진 [26]

"One sirloin steak well done, one cream pasta, and two glasses of grapefruit ade, please."

"You seem like a couple. We're having a couple event at our store right now..."

신여주 [20]

"No, we're not a couple."

김석진 [26]

He spoke firmly and bluntly. I looked at the staff member and then at Seokjin, who was crying like a wounded puppy.

"Oh, sorry. Then I'll bring you what you ordered right away."

신여주 [20]

"Don't be offended, I've been hurt by this kind of thing before..."

김석진 [26]

"Oh, I wasn't really hurt, but I was momentarily dazed."

I don't know if this goes in through the nose or mouth. If it does, I hope it goes in through the mouth, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

김석진 [26]

"Hey, lady, where are you, you're so distracted? Should we go out after eating everything?"

신여주 [20]

"Okay, I'm leaving. Where's the bill?"

김석진 [26]

"I tried to pay but failed. Here's the bill."

신여주 [20]

"I got it last time, so what's wrong?"

김석진 [26]

"··· Let's go, we're going to be late."

After arriving home, I slowly looked through the pile of contacts one by one.

From advertising texts to group chats, Seokjin seniors, Yoongi seniors, Namjoon seniors, and even Kim Taehyung's contacts.

김석진 [26]

_ "Did you get home safely? It's still early, but get a good night's sleep and I'll see you at school if I can."

김남준 [22]

_ "Do you have some time? I'd like to talk."

민윤기 [25]

_ "Let's go for a drive, we'll be right in front of your house."

김태형 [20]

_ "Let's meet up. I'll make you the ade you couldn't drink last time."

신여주 [20]

"You've become a very popular girl, Shin Yeo-ju. You were a total mess in high school because you didn't have any friends."

신여주 [20]

"Senior Yoongi is in front of the house. He's crazy, he's crazy. What the hell is a bulldozer?"

After a short reply to Senior Yoongi, who was in front of the house, I picked up the coat I had thrown and went back outside.

민윤기 [25]

“Did you have a good meal with that senior today?”

신여주 [20]

"I don't know if it goes in through my nose or my mouth."

민윤기 [25]

"I bought some grapefruit ade last time because you said it was good, but I wish I had bought some snacks along with it."

신여주 [20]

"It's okay. Where have you been? I've never seen a car like this before."

민윤기 [25]

"I haven't been anywhere..."

민윤기 [25]

"I just wanted to see you."

신여주 [20]

"······."

민윤기 [25]

"Sorry, I didn't think it would be uncomfortable."

After saying he missed me, Yoongi immediately apologized after observing my reaction. He was comfortable, but he was also a bit... distant.

I got a call when I was unable to continue speaking due to awkwardness.

_ "Arrived at the lake park, I'll wait until you get here. I don't want to freeze to death, so come quickly. I want to see you."

신여주 [20]

"Add another bulldozer..."

민윤기 [25]

"What did you say? I didn't hear it."

신여주 [20]

"Oh, it's nothing."

신여주 [20]

"Can you take me to that lake park?"

민윤기 [25]

"···Stay with me, don't go see other guys."

After finishing my conversation with Senior Yoongi, I came to the lake park.

신여주 [20]

"······."

"Oh, you're here. I thought you weren't coming."

김태형 [20]

"The new female protagonist who said she didn't want to be friends with me has come. I'm so touched."

신여주 [20]

"Why did you call me? Just tell me what you need. There's someone waiting."

김태형 [20]

"···Who is it? The person I'm waiting for."

신여주 [20]

"If you have no business, go."

김태형 [20]

"Just drink the aid and go."

It's not like it's a day to burst into ade... How can you drink three glasses of ade in one day? It seems like everyone in the world knows Shin Yeo-ju's tastes.

신여주 [20]

"Give it to me, drink it quickly and go."

김태형 [20]

"Shin Yeo-ju, do you hate me?"

I couldn't help but spit out the aid. Kim Taehyung's words made me think deeply. The thought of my once-close friend saying those words resonated deeply within me. "Do you hate me?"

신여주 [20]

"Wh, what are you talking about? If you're going to joke around, I'm leaving."

김태형 [20]

"No kidding, I... want to get things back between us."

신여주 [20]

"Why do you want to turn it back? What do you regret?"

신여주 [20]

"And we will never recover from that day on, ever."

김태형 [20]

"······."

김태형 [20]

"At that time, I'll tell you what the relationship was between Park Jeong-woo and me."

김태형 [20]

"Then you can think about restoring your relationship."

The relationship between you and Park Jeong-woo. As I grew older, I became curious. What was it that made you such enemies? What could have happened that made you hate each other so much?
