Who am I.. {Nam Joo Mi-jeong}

44_ “The person I love”

I left the house and walked for quite a while.

It seemed that the unusually heavy feeling in my footsteps today wasn't just my imagination.

If I hadn't turned my back on Jungkook that day,

I wonder what it would have been like if we had talked even a little.

I wonder if my heart has gotten a little better.

Those thoughts haven't gone away from my mind since last night.

정여주

Haa... I feel like such an idiot.

정여주

Why did you run away like that...

Then, familiar silhouettes were visible in the distance.

The moment she saw them, tears poured from the female lead's eyes.

Only the female lead would know why.

But, what I know is_ probably those tears..

정여주

I met him..

Could it be tears of relief?

전정국

Senior, are you really going to stay here like this until tomorrow?

전정국

Just contact the shop owner

박지민

hey..

김태형

what's the matter

박지민

Uh, excuse me...

As Jimin pointed his finger into the distance, both of their gazes shifted to where the tip of his finger was pointing.

What is visible is.

김태형

Uh... Fed...

전정국

senior..!

The female protagonist was standing there all alone.

However, the three people could not readily run.

Also, the female lead shouldn't run away like last time.

At that moment, the female protagonist slowly moved her feet toward them, one step at a time.

And then those feet gradually grew bigger.

As Yeoju ran toward them, Taehyung, who had been sitting, jumped up and ran toward her.

Unable to hold back the tears welling up.

And following Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook also ran to Yeoju.

정여주

taehyoung kim_!

김태형

Fed!

Then, the two of them suddenly and roughly hugged each other.

Jimin and Jungkook, who followed behind, also hugged Yeoju.

For a while, the four of them confirmed each other's warmth as they poured out their tears without holding them back.

정여주

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

김태형

Why are you sorry... There's nothing to be sorry about...

김태형

So don't feel guilty for no reason... okay?

정여주

but..

박지민

Shall we move to a different spot to talk for now?

정여주

okay_

The four people who moved to a cafe like that

I was hesitating because I didn't know how to bring it up.

And then, Taehyung spoke first.

김태형

I missed you so much

The tears I thought had stopped at Taehyung's single remark threatened to spill out again.

But I didn't want to cry anymore with my eyes already all swollen.

정여주

I... missed you guys a lot too..

정여주

I regretted it so much every single day. I shouldn't have come without saying anything..

정여주

I'm not the only one having a hard time... you guys must be struggling too, but you're only thinking about yourself.

정여주

Still, I didn't want to go back to Korea..

정여주

I was so scared that if I went back, I’d have to go back to being Jung Yeon-jun...

박지민

I understand_ how hard it must have been for you.

박지민

It must have been an incredibly difficult decision.

박지민

I didn't resent it or anything—because that must be the right thing to do.

Perhaps feeling that the increasingly heavy atmosphere was unbearable, Jungkook abruptly changed the subject.

전정국

What have you been doing all this time, senior?

정여주

me?

박지민

Ah, I'm curious too.

박지민

How have you been?

정여주

As for me, well, I worked part-time and went out to hang out sometimes.

전정국

Did you make a lot of foreign friends?

정여주

It's been five years, wouldn't it be stranger if it weren't there?

전정국

Yeah... haha

전정국

So, have you dated a boyfriend for five years?

Taehyung flinched at the mention of boyfriend.

Are you perhaps dating someone right now...?

정여주

never once

정여주

I’ve lived as a man all this time, so just because I’m living as a woman now doesn’t mean I’ll immediately change into a woman.

정여주

I don't even want to date you.

전정국

Really?

정여주

uh

김태형

then..

정여주

uh?

김태형

So, you still don't want to date me..?

정여주

now..?

I wonder why... seeing Taehyung's serious face, I feel like I won't be able to answer...

김태형

If it's uncomfortable to talk about, I won't do it.

정여주

I guess if I met someone I truly loved, I wouldn't want to date them.

김태형

love..?

정여주

But it's a bit scary.

정여주

I was worried that I might leave that person again...
