김여주

Junho and I are the sweetest and best-loved couple.

김여주 image

김여주

Junho,

차준호 image

차준호

why .

김여주

I don't know why Junho is like that these days. Whenever I talk to him, he gives short answers and is so cold that I can't even continue a conversation.

김여주 image

김여주

Junho, do you want to meet tomorrow too?

차준호 image

차준호

It won't work tomorrow.

김여주 image

김여주

Then the next day?

차준호 image

차준호

I told you not to, let's just break up here.

김여주

In the past, Junho would whine and keep holding on because he didn't want to break up, but I don't know why he changed like this.

김여주 image

김여주

Junho, is something bad happening today?

차준호 image

차준호

Oh really, if we have to break up, let's just break up.

김여주

Because of Junho's 180 degree change, nothing came out.

차준호 image

차준호

Hey, I'm going out.

김여주

So Junho left me without looking back.

김여주

I came home, washed up, sat on the bed, and talked to Junho.

김여주 image

김여주

- Junho, what's wrong?

차준호 image

차준호

- Hey, Kim Yeo-ju

김여주 image

김여주

- huh ?

차준호 image

차준호

- Let's stop.

김여주 image

김여주

- why ..?

차준호 image

차준호

- Sorry, I didn't know boredom was this hard. Let's stop doing things that hurt each other.

김여주 image

김여주

- Junho, if we just endure this Lee Kwon Tae thing, things will get better again, so please don't break up.

차준호 image

차준호

- No, let's stop. Sorry, I'll block you.

김여주

That was the last I saw of Junho. The next day at school, Junho didn't say anything and we just walked around ignoring each other. But I wondered if he still had feelings for me even a little bit... I tried texting him, but his feelings didn't go away.

김여주

3 years later

김여주 image

김여주

Welcome, let us help you order!

김여주

After three long years, we got jobs and went our separate ways.

차준호 image

차준호

Yes, I'd like an iced Americano.

김여주 image

김여주

Yes, please wait a moment. I will call you shortly!

김여주

I didn't notice anything at first. It was so hard at the time, and I was drinking too much, so I forgot my face and memories.

차준호 image

차준호

Excuse me... Can I get your phone number?

김여주 image

김여주

yes ?

김여주

At that moment, we made very close eye contact. At that moment, I felt... It was Cha Jun-ho...

차준호 image

차준호

Oh, heroine...

김여주 image

김여주

Please have a seat, I will call you!

김여주

I tried to pretend I didn't know. I was afraid that the painful wounds would come back to haunt me and I'd be in agony again.

차준호 image

차준호

Hey, let me talk to you for a minute.. okay?

김여주 image

김여주

okay ,

김여주

I don't know why I said I understood... I shouldn't have said I understood...

김여주 image

김여주

why ?

차준호 image

차준호

I want to start again with you,

김여주 image

김여주

What the heck, when did you tell me to go cold? Huh..

차준호 image

차준호

Don't cry.. I'm sorry, it was my fault

김여주 image

김여주

You treated me so coldly and now you're saying this,, sob sob,,

차준호 image

차준호

Back then, I didn't have the confidence to overcome boredom. I'm sorry we broke up...

김여주 image

김여주

Do you know how hard it was for me to forget you, you little shit? Ugh... I really... ugh...

김여주

Junho hugged me warmly.

차준호 image

차준호

I'm sorry, let's start again

차준호 image

차준호

I realized too late,, that you, Kim Yeo-ju, are important... I'm sorry, Yeo-ju.

김여주

That's how we cleared up our misunderstandings and started dating again.
