You are Minty Lavender (Season 1)

EP34. Tear < Smile

※ This episode unfolds from Taehyung's point of view!

It wasn't until I noticed my own irregular heartbeat interspersed with the steady mechanical sounds of the hospital room that I realized I had already done something wrong.

The one who is closing his eyes in front of me right now is Yeoju, and it's been three hours since I gave her the flower.

Even I, who was perfectly fine, didn't pay much attention to the machine sound, but it felt like noise when it repeated. But I continued to watch the female protagonist who didn't wake up, and waited anxiously.

To be honest, I was just as scared whether she woke up or not.

My heart was burning, wondering if I would still remember everything when I woke up, or if I would never wake up.

When I was asked whether I would choose friendship or love, I felt ashamed, thinking that I had chosen love over friendship and ended up in a miserable situation.

After several hours of such longing,

"...who are you?..."

As I was shaking my head and concluding that everything was wrong, I heard a voice I hadn't heard in so long that I almost doubted my ears: the voice of the female protagonist.

김태형

".....!!!!!"

As I slowly raised my head, the female protagonist was really awake and looking at me.

With clear eyes that seemed to contain nothing as if she had just opened her eyes to this world, and a questioning and confused expression, the female protagonist was like a blank sheet of paper, having erased everything.

김태형

"Oh, lady...hey..."

Even as I approached her very slowly, she didn't even seem to be wary of my scent, unlike my earlier concerns. The heroine had even let go of her power, which she had previously described as a curse.

".....??"

I don't know about the female protagonist, but perhaps it was a blessing for me.

Memories of pain tugging at her, memories of liking and hating someone, memories buried in her white world, now I can write my own story, the only one contained in her clear eyes...

Really... I was so lucky

After running alone for a long time, my accumulated pain and worries finally flowed out in a single tear, and the joy of a new beginning settled on my lips.

I wiped the tears that continued to flow down my cheeks before they could reach the corners of my lips. I was afraid that the painful memories that had flowed might spill over into the joy, the blissful joy, that filled my lips.

And then I opened my mouth softly, holding her in my eyes more precisely than ever before.

김태형

"Hey, heroine... don't you remember? I'm... Taehyung, Kim Taehyung..."

김태형

"Your boyfriend... hehe..."
