I'm in Busan now. Tonight my parents and Myung Soo's parents will meet at a restaurant.
My mother asked me, why not just get married if Myung Soo is already steady with marriage. But I cannot answer with an answer because I still doubt.
If my mother and father found out about Myung Soo and Hye Sun maybe she would never have approved of this engagement. And maybe they'll tell me to cut off my relationship with Myung Soo.
Which parent, who wants his child to be the future wife of someone who has done such a thing to someone else's wife. And this will be a secret between me and Myung Soo.
❤️❤️❤️
Ji Eun called me yesterday after she came to Kangjun's house. He said Kangjun was fucked up. I don't know what to say to Ji Eun, because maybe Kangjun was like that because he was disappointed in me.
" Kangjun can't be casting a web drama" Ji Eun said at the time.
" What's the matter?"
" He was really drunk when I got to his house. And the next morning he wants to cancel all schedules."
" How is he doing now?"
" He slept in the room and refused to go out. He said he'd call me if he really wanted to."
And that day, Ji Eun was made to bother by Kangjun because all the schedules on that day were suddenly canceled by him.
Soo Ah who followed the casting, said Ji Eun also protested to her. He said that Ji Eun is an unprofessional manager because she can't keep her artist.
And it struck me that when Ji Eun needed someone to share her problem I wasn't there beside her.
❤️❤️❤️
" Where are we going to the restaurant?" ask my mom who's sitting in the back seat with my dad.
We went to the restaurant by accident by taxi. Because I don't have a sim, and my dad recently had a minor accident.
" Just a little while later."
" It turns out far yes, this make up feels like it will fade. I don't want to look bad in front of Myung Soo's parents." My mom used to stick to a piece of powder she was carrying.
" What you want to apply for is not you, why do you bother making up" my father who seems to be uncomfortable with my mother finally spoke as well.
" Yeobo??!!!" (*love call) My mother glanced sharply at my father and I could only chuckle at the manner of the two of them.
Myung Soo immediately gave his greetings, upon seeing my parents arrive. I also bowed and greeted Myung Soo's parents. No wonder Myung Soo has such a handsome face. Everything was passed down from her parents.
Even though I used to go to the same school as him, I never had the chance to meet Myung Soo's parents. Because other than me not being close to her, I had no reason to suddenly come to her house. Because I used to be just one-sided love.
" Please sit down" Myung Soo's father said pointing to the table he had ordered.
Myung Soo pulled a chair for me, I saw my mother at a glance, she looked so very fond of Myung Soo from the first glance.
There's no one who doesn't like it. Besides being handsome, he was also very good. Honestly, I used to love it because of that.
He is the kind of guy who wants to do anything for the woman he loves. I saw her while she was still dating Hye Sun. She who was so much in submission to Hye Sun, always apologized even if it wasn't her fault. Myung Soo did it not because he had no self-esteem, not because of it. He did so because he wanted to keep Hye Sun to his side. Yes, he loves Hye Sun very much.
" Beautiful." praised my mother to Myung Soo, she just smiled shyly.
" The nest is beautiful too. Myung Soo often told me about the Nest. He said that the nest is beautiful and good. And it turned out to be true." Myung Soo's mother also praised me back.
Me and Myung Soo looked at each other after hearing the compliment and blushed in embarrassment.
--
And the engagement ended at about nine p.m. Only two hours, but it was enough for me to know that Myung Soo's parents were kind and welcomed me as his future daughter-in-law well.
" I'll call" Myung Soo said as he drove me and my parents into the lobby.
I'm nodding.
" Tomorrow come to our house. We will prepare your favorite meal." said my mother suddenly and Myung Soo smilingly nodding his head in agreement.
My heart is relieved that tonight's engagement went well. Myung Soo's parents say if they can, next year Myung Soo and I will get married soon, because they want to quickly hold a grandchild. So did my parents.
Myung Soo's facial complexion changes when their parents suddenly talk about grandchildren. I can see it, maybe Myung Soo remembered the baby that Hye Sun had conceived.
My phone rang, a message came in from Kangjun. For three days he did not contact me. I try to think positively if he is busy with his work.
" Smoothly??"
Maybe he meant my engagement.
" *yes."
" Congratulations."
" thank you. How are you?"
" good. Next week I'm starting filming a drama*."
" The spirit."
After that, he did not return the message again. As he used to call me if he didn't return a message.
" From who?? Very busy with cell phones when they just met." asked my father who was curious because I kept staring at the screen of my phone.
" Not from Myung Soo anyway."
" And then?!" my mother followed.
" That, Kangjun. The fattest SD friend in class."
" Oh Lee Kangjun??! How's things?? He's the kid you used to tell me about, right?!"
" Eomma, recognize this man no?" I thrust out my phone with a picture of Kangjun while modeling in a magazine and my mother stared in surprise.
" How is it different." asked my mother.
" Eomma, now she is already a famous model, and next week will start filming a drama. She's so cool now." I said as if to boast of my own boyfriend in front of my parents.
" So, does he like you?"
I was silent because I was confused and could not answer anything.
❤️❤️❤️
Kangjun Flashback
(A few days earlier when Kangjun was drunk)
Kangjun POVs
The news of the engagement hurt me so much. I did not expect that Sarang would accept the proposal of the man who had betrayed her. Why should that man?! Can't you get any better than him.
I ignored the last message from Sarang . Because I feel so angry at him. But for a moment I thought that I was nobody Sarang.
And even I'm not entitled to it.
The meeting at the minimarket, I thought it was a fate so I could get my first love. But what I saw was that he already had a girlfriend. Instead of a good lover but he gets a lover who really makes his heart hurt.
After changing schools and homes, I never had any interest in other girls. I kept waiting for Sarang and turned into this so that she could like me. But the truth says something else. After not seeing each other for a long time, I can't reach it anymore. What do I have to do so that he can love me???
This is my sixth bottle. I don't feel like I'm drinking this soju alone. My head is getting heavier and my mind is getting less and less.
My fingers moved by themselves to call Sarang, and my mouth congratulated him. He seems to be worried about me. But his concern was only to ask about my situation. Can't she accompany me tonight???
" Kangjun-si!!!" my manager's voice was heard from the outside but I ignored him because this body was not strong to walk.
Anyway he knows the door code of this apartment.
" Ssi kangjun!! Realize??!! Did you forget that tomorrow's your first drama casting??" he took a bottle of soju in my hand.
The manager's shadow looks faint. It turned blurry and then slowly became the shadow of the Nest.
" Hive... You're finally here. You're worried about me, aren't you??!" I hugged him tightly and he didn't refuse at all.
" Take a friend tonight, will you?" I begged him.
He hugged me tightly. And I felt a clear droplet fall on my shoulder.
" I'm sorry Kangjun ssi!" his face began to approach and his lips began to softly kiss me.
I was just following his game even as he tried to put me in my bed.
His hands began to unbutton my clothes one by one. But when he wanted to take off his shirt, I stopped him. I don't want to do anything further to her.
" Don't be like this, you'll get engaged" I said, looking disappointed.
He looked at me for a long time, then went out of the room.
---
I woke up with a head that felt very dizzy and heavy. Then I saw many bottles of soju lying in the living room. Looks like someone tidied it up last night.
My manager looks like he's cooking. I didn't realize when he was here.
" Are you awake??" asked my manager when I found out I was looking at him from behind.
I nodded weakly.
Then he served drunk soup in front of me.
" I don't have a taste for food."
" Why??"
" I don't know. Oh yeah didn't Sarang come here last night?? "
The look on my manager's face turned red when I called out the word Sarang.
" Hive is not here. From last night I was here with you."
Then like the shadow of the slide show that I had a hard time turning. There seems to be a memory I forgot.
" And then... Who was in my room last night??"
" You're just a dream. When I got here you were asleep in your bed."
" Really?" then I walked into the room without touching my manager's soup.
" Today there's a casting. Please prepare. "
I looked at him for a moment and shook my head.
"Cancel it. I want to sleep today. My head's dizzy. If there's an actor to replace me, it's okay."
"You want the director to scold me?!!"
BLAMMMM!!!
I closed the door loudly and recalled last night's events. Is it true that I only dream or there really is a nest here.
Flashback end
❤️❤️❤️
Kangjun really called me. Suddenly he asked the day he got drunk whether I was going to his apartment or not.
And I answered no, because I never went to his house at that time but Ji Eun.
A disappointed tone came out of her mouth when I said that Ji Eun rushed there after knowing her condition.
" When will it come back??" asked Kangjun after we stayed long enough.
" Morrow. Because my cut is over too."
" Can we still meet??"
I was quiet for quite a while.
" Can't ya?"
" I'll tell you later. I can't promise anything uncertain."
" Oh so, all right. I'm waiting to hear from you."
Myung Soo called me shortly after the call from Kangjun I ended.
" What are you doing??? Why has it been so hard to contact you lately? Are you calling someone?" Myung Soo thronged me with a lot of questions.
" Yes." I replied briefly.
" Who??"
" Ji Eun."
" I'm sorry about what my mother said."
" Which one??"
" When my mom started talking about grandchildren. Your face seems to have changed."
" Oh that, I feel normal. But I know in your mind it's floating straight at Hye Sun."
Myung Soo was silent.
" What am I really thinking now?"
Myung Soo remained silent. I only heard the sound of her breathing so heavy.
Without asking her permission, I ended my conversation with her.
I lay down on my bed and accidentally reached my hand into a wedge in the bed.
A diary book when I was in High School was still stored there. Turns out my mom hasn't changed this room since I went to work out of town for a long time.
I opened the book sheet by sheet. Smiling then suddenly becoming moody, all the contents in the diary tell how I love Myung Soo unilaterally.
" Is Myung Soo not my soul mate??" muttered.
After yesterday I was so sure of Myung Soo. Then after seeing her at the engagement earlier, seeing how her expression looked like that. When his mother talked about a grandchild. My heart suddenly felt a pain again.
Did he really forget about Hye Sun?? Or did he suddenly remember if he already had a baby in the womb of another woman???
The thought raged in my brain. What if what I think really happened?? I became scared like this.
" It's not like that. Sorry I can't answer that. I was also confused as to why I was like that earlier, when my mother talked about grandchildren."
The message from Myung Soo instead of making me better. Except it makes me more confused.
I have an incoming message on my social media. Hwang Bitna, my friend when I invited for a reunion.
At first I was lazy to reply to the message. Because considering what they've done to me and Kangjun has really gone too far. But I have another idea. Then I agreed and joined the reunion.
I called Kangjun with excitement. The connecting tone sounded long, then a heavy voice greeted.
" Yeeobseoyeo??"
" Hmm Kangjun ah!! I want to see you on Thursday. Please take a little time."
" Suddenly??? What's up??"
" We were invited to attend a reunion of friends. You're coming, right???"
" How is it??" Kangjun looked doubtful.
But I tried to convince him that everything would be fine.
" There I am. Just chill. You're not the Kangjun you used to be anyway. Now you're a cool Kangjun. Famous model and soon to be a talented actor."
There was the sound of Kangjun laughing. Which calms me very much.
" yes. All right, I'll come. As long as you're there."
I'm happy that Kangjun is coming to the reunion. And I will make all those who have insulted him go silent.
