Episode 8

Yeoju, who was sitting at the kitchen table getting a drink of water while on the phone, smiles and says in response to Jeonghwa's question.

나여주

Hey, you went too far!!

정화

Seriously, you're already acting like you're dating!

나여주

Well... anyway... Ugh, I don't know, I feel dizzy. I should just take some medicine and go to sleep.

정화

Oh my, does it hurt? I'll cook for you when I get home tomorrow. You're alone, right?

나여주

Yeah, okay, got it.

After hanging up the phone and picking up my medicine, I remember Daehwi telling me to make sure I eat properly, so I take some side dishes out of the refrigerator.

KakaoTalk!

I looked at my phone and saw it was Daehwi. I picked up my phone, thinking, "A single KakaoTalk notification sound can make someone feel this good."

이대휘

I logged in just fine. Did you log in safely?

나여주

I was on the phone with a friend. You made it home safely, right? Haha.

I think while spooning rice and sending KakaoTalk messages.

나여주

(Inner thoughts) Hmm... Should I tell them to speak comfortably...? Or not?

In the meantime, I received a call from Daehwi.

나여주

Yes, hello?

이대휘

what are you doing?

나여주

Ah... I'm eating a meal to take my medicine.

이대휘

You did a great job, haha.

Yeoju, who thought she liked Daehwi's laughing voice, speaks up.

나여주

Daehwi, um... shall we speak informally?

이대휘

Um... can I be comfortable?

The female lead answers after a slight hesitation.

나여주

I think that would be good and comfortable for me, but what about you, Daehwi?

이대휘

Hmm... being comfortable is nice, but... I would never call you 'Noona', Yeoju.

The female lead was slightly fluttering at the part where she called Daehwi "Noona" while they were on the phone.

나여주

Just call me by my name comfortably, like a friend. I'd like that too, haha.

The female protagonist, realizing that she was already so flustered by being called "older sister" over the phone and that it would be a disaster if they met face-to-face, agrees to call each other by their first names.

이대휘

Yeah, Yeoju, haha, like this?

나여주

Hmm... Daehwi... Hey... Ugh... This feels awkward.

이대휘

You said we should speak casually first, but are you even eating?

나여주

Huh? Huh! You have to eat, right??

이대휘

I'm eating while talking on the phone, so it feels like you're right next to me. Hurry up and eat and take your medicine. It seems like I'm not giving you time to eat, haha.

나여주

Ugh... I'll eat and take my medicine!!

이대휘

Okay, I should stop bothering you today. Good night later, Yeoju.

나여주

Mmm... You too!

After hanging up the phone, Yeoju’s face turned bright red as she scooped rice with a spoon and muttered to herself.

나여주

Ah... I keep thinking about Lee Dae-hwi while eating...

Startled by his own words, he drinks water, then bows his head low and speaks.

나여주

Oh my gosh, I think I've really gotten better... Phew...

After regaining my senses and finishing my meal, I take my medicine and lie down.

나여주

Hmm... I keep laughing even though I'm in pain... Oh well, let's just go to sleep.

The female lead smiles at the thought of Daehwi while looking at the ceiling, then settles down to sleep due to slight dizziness.

Daehwi, who had been fascinated and afraid as his feelings for Yeoju grew day by day after dropping her off, smiles today as he thinks of Yeoju appearing to be opening her heart to him little by little.

이대휘

It stood out at first... and ended up interfering.

Daehwi is talking to himself while thinking about what happened with Yeoju at the club.

I couldn't just leave the female lead alone as she shook her head and cried, and I was so angry that I wanted to kill that bastard who had been mistreating her.

이대휘

I wonder if it'll be okay..?

Suddenly remembering the female lead who wasn't feeling well today, I send her a KakaoTalk message out of worry again.

After finishing the call, Daehwi also eats his meal and mutters to himself, finding himself funny as thoughts of Yeoju come to mind again.

이대휘

Crazy bastard...

As Daehwi comes out after clearing his dishes and washing up, he thinks about how he can overcome the fact that he is younger than Yeoju.

However, Daehwi falls asleep without much success.
