In case tomorrow she comes back In case tomorrow she changes her mind For tomorrow you... There was no one left and I realized there was me.
In case tomorrow I become him I went back to standing in the same place... For tomorrow, the story I think about... true
A tall figure with a body the color of honey sat on the edge of the bed in the same room... A room of memories from the days when she still had a lover. Room of happiness... And the room of sorrow... But today, she was the only one left to live in this room. The room looks more spacious when there's no one else around.
In his hand was a tall figure holding a picture frame of a young woman who gave off a smile that made her smile and couldn't help but accept it. A smile that made you fall in love from the first moment you met her. His fingers rubbed the area of the face in the picture, which felt the coolness of the mirror in return. As he raised a faint smile mixed with sadness to himself alone.
...Tiffany...
Every square inch of this room remains the same. When Yuri didn't even think about picking up or moving any of the things that belonged to her former lover out of this room. Tiffany's room still had everything as before, including clothes, belongings... To say that they are lovers But since the beginning of their relationship, the couple had never had the opportunity to sleep in the same room once.
which Yuri himself did not intend to protest about this Because he knew well in his heart that Tiffany had never thought of her as anything more than a sibling. And she didn't want to cause her younger sister any embarrassment or discomfort if they had to sleep in the same room. Therefore, the tall figure's room was next to each other. In order to be able to take care of your body closely at all times In case an unexpected event occurs like the last time.
An event that almost shattered a wounded heart... She didn't want to think that if Tiffany had succeeded that time. How can she endure living with this loss? And if that time she really had to lose Tiffany? Will she do what some people do? Are you ready to die following someone younger than you?
A picture of a smiling woman with crescent-shaped eyes was placed back on her ex-lover's bedside table. Both hands lifted up to cover his face and he closed his eyes for a long time. before letting out a soft sigh
...Will you... forget her?
At that moment, a knock sounded at the front door of her room. Yuri quickly wiped away his tears and stood up, opening the door to welcome the new arrivals. which she herself could guess who that person was The door opened to reveal the owner of the room, a thin woman dressed from head to toe in white, smiling at her and holding up a bag in her hand for her to see.
“I bought some rice for you. Because I think Yul probably still hasn't eaten anything,” a sweet, unique voice said knowingly. The owner gave a faint, tired smile in response and made way for another young woman to enter the room. The woman immediately went straight into the kitchen, where Yuri heard the sound of utensils clattering inside the kitchen.
When she found dishes piled up in the sink Some newcomers shouted from the kitchen to the owner of the room, who slowly closed the door.
“Really, Yul needs to learn to eat at certain times. Also, don't eat too much junk food, it's not good for your health. Today I bought bibimbap, seolleongtang, and mullaengmyeon. Do you want to eat it or not? I'll warm it up for you.” Some people were silent for a while, waiting for an answer. Although Yuri felt quite considerate that this young woman who worked as a nurse came to her every day with various healthy foods, until now she had almost become a pig rich in various kinds of food.
But she really didn't want to break his intentions. Seeing that the owner of the room hadn't given an answer for a long time, a young woman in a nurse's uniform suddenly leaned out of the kitchen. "What do you say? Do you want to eat now?"
"Um... that's good, thank you." The figure nodded with a smile before disappearing back into the kitchen again. Yuri slowly followed along.
“Is there something I can help with?” Yuri walked in and stood next to each other while a few people shook their heads. “Huh, Yul, go sit and wait, I'll give it to you.” The tall man who was the owner of the room had a considerate expression on his face. clearly came out Let people who don't know you well buy food for you. He also came to wash the dishes and clean the house.
What's the matter if you're not considerate at all? Seeing that the dark-skinned person was still standing there, still acting awkwardly as if he was going to take the bowl in front of her and hold it for her. Some of them left the food in front of them and turned to push Yuri's back to sit on the chair at the nearby dining table. before taking the food and placing it in front of the tall figure
"Thank you... This is just too much to consider." Some of them smiled as they sat down on the opposite side.
"It's okay, I'm willing."
The tall figure let tears fall down his cheeks for a long time until his sharp eyes were red. A slight sob escaped his lips. But no one really cares when everyone lives with their relatives and lovers as normal. You are the only one left who has to live with the tears and pain that you have suppressed for a long time.
Yuri felt so weak that he had allowed himself to cry so hard. So heavy that I could hardly breathe. Even though he is often the one who tells and warns his ex-lover.
The tall man used the back of his hand to wipe the tears from his cheeks roughly as he sniffled. before pushing himself up But he almost fell to the ground when pain suddenly shot up into his head, causing him to have to close his eyes and slowly sit down again. He raised his hand to his temple and shook his head gently. It looked like she was really crying a lot.
To the point of pain and dizziness to the point of blurry vision like this The tall figure sighed again, feeling sorry for himself.
When he opened his eyes again, he found a small, light pink handkerchief being held in front of him. His dark brows furrowed together slightly as he raised his head to meet the eyes of the owner of this handkerchief. I met a young woman in a nurse's uniform with brown hair... It was the same person who ran out of the emergency room that time... Some nodded to the handkerchief again when Yuri refused to accept it.
“Take this and use it.” The tall man had to take the cloth and hold it in his hand. The nurse smiled slightly before sitting down next to them. Yuri turned his head away, not wanting strangers to see his face after all the crying he had done. The woman in the nurse's uniform spoke up again, opening up the conversation. “The weather here is good.
It's high up and you can see the whole city. Do you think so?”
"..." The tall figure gave no answer other than silence. The other person didn't pay much attention and continued talking while Yuri listened without uttering a word.
“Time when you don't have to go on duty. I often come and sit here. Look down and see the people walking around going about their lives. Look at the sky with many clouds floating in the wind. Look at the patients who come out to enjoy the outside atmosphere rather than being stuffed inside a narrow room.”
“Actually, today I had a rest, so I planned to sit in my usual seat and do everything as usual. But by chance I met you first... Aren't you going to see your friend?"
"..." The question was so poignant that Yuri almost wanted to get up and walk away from this young nurse. But she was not rude enough to do so. So he could only continue to be quiet. I secretly hoped that when she didn't reply, this young nurse would get bored and walk away. But it seems that everything is not as she thought. As the other young woman continued to speak
“Ah... Let's just say it's really windy today. The sky was starting to get dark. I doubt it's going to rain. Hey... Do you like the rain? I really like it. Whenever it rains, they usually come out to play in the rainwater. Even though I know it will cause a cold... I can't take it, even though I'm actually a nurse."
“When I was a child, I also had pneumonia from the rain. At that time, it was very difficult because I was not yet that old. At first I was afraid. But because the nurses were very kind, I wasn't too afraid. After a while I disappeared... This is another reason why I want to be a nurse.”
"..." ...then tell me why... The tall figure couldn't help but think in his heart. Is this nurse crazy? Even though they didn't know each other at all, they came back to tell others their autobiography of their lives. But then the young nurse's expression softened a little.
“But the main reason is that five years ago I lost my cousin in a car accident. At that time, Auntie cried so much that she fainted. Father himself was so stressed that he didn't do anything. I myself am no less disappointed. Because he is a relative who has been close to me since childhood.”
The story of another young woman who made her heart soar to the point of twitching... cousin? Car crash? Five years ago? Why is this event so similar to the loss of her best friend? For the first time, Yuri turned to meet the nurse's eyes as her eyes began to take in a clear picture...
This young nurse's face She looks eerily similar to Taeyeon...
"cousin?..."
Some of them smiled slightly in delight. Even though there was a hint of sadness hidden in it, “Yes, I think you know him well too... My cousin is Taeyeon... Kim Taeyeon, your friend?”
...This world... is much rounder than she thought...
Crank, the sound of the spoon hitting the edge of the porcelain bowl in front of her rang out, causing her to regain consciousness again. The person in front of her narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned at her not seriously. before speaking in a teasing manner and shaking his head slightly.
“Where are you going with your mind wandering? The person in front of Yul right now is me. It's really disappointing..." The tall figure spread his lips and revealed a slight smile as he laughed in his throat.
“Ah... I'm sorry.” The figure sighed softly before turning around and smiling faintly in sympathy. “Don't be so absent-minded. I feel hurt too.”
"...um..."
After that day, it seemed that Yuri and this female nurse were meeting more often, as if it were intentional. Because no matter where the tall figure goes, The other woman also appeared there often, and their relationship began to develop more and more. The couple talked more often. So close that Yuri took him to their condo many times even though they had only known each other for a short time. She also had the opportunity to go to another woman's house.
The thin woman looked up from the work in front of her and looked at the tall figure in front of the counter, smiling at him. “Come to visit Ms. Tiffany, Yul? Her condition isn't anything to worry about. In another two or three days, you should be able to go home.” The nurse finished reporting Yuri's former lover's condition. The tall man smiled slightly and nodded softly before lifting the box wrapped in light pink gift wrapping paper in his hand and placing it on the counter. This made the girl furrow her brow in suspicion.
“I learned from your friend that yesterday was your birthday. So it's a little late, but happy birthday." The tall voice's voice suddenly widened and the other girl's smile widened. A thin hand grabbed the gift box in front of him and held it up. “Thank you, Yul.”
The dark-skinned man nodded with a slight smile before disappearing into Tiffany's room. Leaving someone else so delighted with the unexpected birthday present they received from a tall figure that the friend sitting next to them couldn't help but tease them.
“It's too much. Would you like to thank me a little? I tried to carry the news of the day you opened your eyes to tell him.” A young woman in a nurse's uniform, petite with short hair, said in an annoyed voice. Until the birthday girl turned to meet the needs of her little friend, "Yay! Thank you, Lee Sunkyu.”
“Yay! I told you not to call me that name!” The thin girl giggled at her short-haired friend's antics as she looked down at the gift in her hand again with a wide smile.
Inside Tiffany's room A tall figure walked in and sat down next to the thin bed with flowers in his hand as usual. Yuri placed the flowers on the table next to each other before turning to her younger sister.
“How are you? Does it still hurt?” Tiffany laughed softly before answering teasingly, “Uncle Yul, don't you get tired of asking this every day? Fany has been missing since yesterday."
Yuri heard this and smiled comfortingly, “Good... in a few days you can go home. Do you want me to come get you?”
"If you're free, Fany won't mind."
"Free...I'm always free."
“Come to pick up Miss Tiffany, Miss Yuri?” a petite woman with cropped hair asked with a smile when she saw a tall, familiar figure approaching her in front of the counter. The dark-skinned person smiled faintly, “Yes, Fany's father just happened to be abroad so he entrusted it to me... Uh... Miss Sunny?”
"yes?"
“Then... uh...” The little man raised his eyebrows slightly. Before understanding Yuri's attitude, she looked around for someone who usually sat next to her at this time. “Oh... that girl isn't coming today. I called to see that he was not feeling well. Last night I saw that girl saying that she came home late and it was raining too."
“Then what's the matter?” His dark eyebrows furrowed as soon as he heard that. Can't help but worry and worry. Sunny shook his head slowly. “I don't know. But this morning when I called, the sound wasn't very good.”
A pair of sharp eyes looked down at the ground and he nodded slowly, "Really?"
“...Uh, but Mr. Yuri, do you have an hour or two free today?” the petite girl asked. Yuri glanced at the ceiling in thought before answering, "I'm free. After taking Tiffany to drop her off, I'll have some free time... Miss Sunny, what's wrong with you?"
A pair of small eyes narrowed until you could barely see inside them as the smile widened. Sunny bent down and picked up a basket from underneath and placed it on the counter in front of the tall figure. “Well... today I'm taking over that girl's shift. So I had to stay until evening. There probably won't be time to visit. I would like Mr. Yuri to come visit on my behalf.”
“Oh... yes.” The tall man smiled as he stretched out his hand to take the basket, which was an excellent gift, into his hand. “Then I'll excuse myself first. Mr. Sunny also takes care of his health. You'll feel sick soon."
“Yes, thank you for your concern.” The tall figure disappeared into Tiffany's room. Leaving the petite nurse smiling faintly... No wonder why her best friend seems to be so in love....
Yuri walked in and saw a thin woman sitting on a bed in private clothing with a much better expression than before. The smile that was given to her became wider than before.
“You came so quickly,” Yuri smiled. “I'm afraid that if I'm late, Fanny will complain to me like an old grandmother in the car all the way... So, have you eaten anything yet? Do you want me to take you to eat first?”
“Um…” Tiffany puffed her cheeks slightly and looked thoughtful. “That's good, but Yul hyung has to take care of it.”
The tall figure laughed softly before walking over and gently slamming the thin figure's head. "Since we've known each other, has Fanny ever taken care of you? Huh?" Tiffany laughed a little. Before getting up from the bed and putting on his shoes, he walked to stand on either side of an older person. It made Yuri accidentally swoop in and try to support him immediately.
“Hey, do you think I'm better off with a wheelchair?” The younger man looked at the dark-skinned man as if he had just said something funny.
“Brother Yul is really great. Fany, it's a wound on her wrist, not on her leg so she won't be able to walk.” With that, the figure walked over and grabbed the tall figure's forearm and wrapped it around her like she had always done before they were together. together “Since Brother Yul will be our host this time, don't delay. Hurry, Fanny, I'm really hungry."
With that, he dragged Yuri out of the room with force, accompanied by the sound of the older man's irregular heartbeat... This is another thing that Yuri hasn't changed at all before or after they started dating... She could never get used to being around younger people...
Because she still hopes deeply... That Tiffany will get back together with her again...
It's just a vain hope that has very little chance of coming true...
On the other side was a small nurse sitting at the counter. He clearly saw the scene in front of him and couldn't help but think of his dear friend who until now was bedridden with a fever. His head shook softly, feeling exhausted...
...if you see this picture You will definitely go back to sitting and feeling depressed like before...
After dinner is over Yuri and the nurse had to fight to snatch the dishes from each other's hands. On the other hand, the owner of the room was very considerate. As for the body, some are very willing. They fought over each other until they came to the conclusion that they had to come together and help each other clean up half of the mess. As the water hits the container Some people opened up the conversation again.
Tell the story of your daily life again, as you always do every time you come to the tall room. After that, he would be dragged by a young woman to watch a movie that she had rented for about an hour. Before Yuri drove the other party home. It's always been like this since we met.
The young woman opened the door and got out of the car. Not yet, he leaned down and waved at the tall figure sitting on the driver's side. “Come home safely.”
Yuri smiled, “You also locked the house carefully. Being alone is dangerous.”
The woman's slender eyebrows raised slightly. before asking with a teasing expression, “Eh... And how did Yul know that I was alone? Don't tell me that Sunny told Yul the news again, eh... Or did you ask from my mother before she went to see an event in another province? Of course, Yul is interested in me too, right?”
The tall figure laughed softly, amused by the woman's spontaneous words. “On the other hand, it was your mother who called to tell me. Anyway, please help me come see you often. Because you're quite dorky. He doesn't trust you to be home alone.”
The young woman made a pouty face and shook her head away. “What, how can I be so stupid? I go back and forth to Yul's room every day. Even though I've been discouraged many times... Yul hasn't seen him come to my house. Just come and drop it off and then go in and drink the water yourself.”
Yuri kept a slight smile on his face. Before saying something, the woman turned around and widened her eyes. “So... can I stay over at your house today?”
After taking my younger sister out to dinner, Yuri drove Tiffany back to her room. A figure walked in and looked around the room before turning around and teasingly addressing the owner of the room. “The room is still the same. Fany thought that Yul hyung was going to secretly take Fany's things and throw them away."
“How can I leave it? It's Fanny's stuff. I won't interfere." The tall figure said as he disappeared into the kitchen. He came out with a cylindrical glass of water in his hand and handed it to his younger sister, then sat down next to Tiffany on the long sofa.
“I have to disturb Brother Yul again. I'm so considerate... Actually, I can take Fany to my house. After all, the auntie next door is already taking care of him. It's not difficult for Brother Yul either."
A slender hand lifted up and gently shook the younger man's head in an affectionate manner. What's the difficulty? I'm afraid it doesn't make sense... Um, Fanny can live alone, right?”
"Fan is not a child anymore. She can't be alone."
“'Then that's good, because I have to go out to run some errands soon. I'll probably be back soon..." The tall figure pushed himself to his feet, turned to grab the basket next to him, held it up and walked towards the door. But he still didn't stop and turned to make another ghost look annoyed. “Be careful when you're alone, there are uninvited guests coming to keep you company, young lady...”
“Brother Yul!” The pillow in the thin figure's hand was immediately thrown towards the tall figure. But it was good that the other person was able to quickly dodge and dodge before laughing softly in amusement.
Yuri drove to a stop in front of the house of a young nurse he had visited many times. But not as often as the girl who went back and forth to her room countless times. A tall figure opened the door and got out of the car with a basket from Sunny. On the other side was a bag containing soft food such as porridge and some medicine. Having been to the woman's house quite often, she knew exactly where the key the owner hid. Therefore, there was not much problem when the front door was found to be locked.
A tall figure stepped into the familiar house. But today it was dark and quiet, as if there were no residents. A pair of sharp eyes looked around as he walked carefully. Hand swiped against the wall, looking for the light switch. Before the light was on, the newcomer could see every nook and cranny of the sick woman's house.
Yuri closed the door softly. before walking up the stairs to the girl's room, which he had only had the opportunity to enter a few times It's not because the room owner is unwilling. But it was because she felt considerate of herself having to disturb the private room so often. The door in front of him opened slowly. The inside of the room was completely dark, not much different from the one below.
Only there was still a little bit of light from the moon outside shining into the room. It's okay to turn on the light when the sound of my steady breathing can be heard not far away. Yuri groped along the path and picked up a chair and placed it next to the bed of the young nurse who had become a patient herself. A pair of sharp eyes studied the slender, beautiful face of a young woman who had been asleep for a long time. He smiled unconsciously.
The woman seemed to regain consciousness and moved her body slightly before opening her eyes. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the darkness until I could focus on the shadowy presence of someone sitting next to me. Being a person with a fear of ghosts, he didn't wait long for her to stand up and lift the blanket to cover her face, closing her eyes and screaming loudly throughout the house. Until the people who came to visit the sick were worried and were almost taken aback as well.
"scream!! Don't come in. Huh... I've never hurt anyone. Why do you have to let me agree? Let's all live in different places and... then I'll pray for you... huh.”
"Uh... K... You, this is you. I'm Yuri. You... open your eyes." Yuri leaned in and grabbed the girl's shoulders and gently shook her to regain consciousness. Until some bodies began to calm down and peeked out from the blankets.
“Uh... Yul! I'm almost shocked. You didn't come to lurk and make a sound, and you still sat and stared next to me. Who is it? Who wouldn't be shocked?”
Yuri laughed softly in amusement until the other person's eyes turned green. A thin hand grabbed the pillow at the head of the bed and gently threw it at the tall figure. “You don't have to laugh. If I have a heart attack, will Yul be responsible?”
“Then what will you be responsible for?” Making another person have to look away even in the dark. When the tall figure moves his face closer and closer, it makes his heart flutter. "I will be responsible for the treatment costs... Or should I take responsibility for my heart?”
Some faces instantly turned red. Both Yuri's words Moreover, the warm breath that brushed her face so closely made her heart beat so loudly that it almost burst out. A hand lifted up to hold his chest, feeling the rhythm of his heart getting stronger and stronger. The girl turned away slightly.
“Crazy…” Yuri chuckled at the other person's expression. before slowly moving his face closer a little at a time The woman immediately closed her eyes as her heart sounded so loudly that she was afraid her tall figure would be able to detect it. Their foreheads touched while the tall figure closed his eyes and remained in that position for a moment. before moving his face back a little.
“You're not that hot. The fever should go down, but it's still unreliable. Have you eaten anything today?”
The sick man shook his head gently with his hand lifting the blanket to cover his nose. Only the eyes were peeking out from the cloth.
“'Then I'll go get some porridge in a bowl. Then you can take your medicine and rest.” The tall figure stood up from his chair and walked out of the room. Leaving the other person sitting holding his chest, trying to control his heartbeat to return to normal again.
...Oh my heart... Can you help me calm down a bit?
“Huh... It's stuck, really?” The woman was dizzy for a moment. When the person she had been in love with for a long time suddenly walked into her house without even inviting her. Normally, she had to pester and beg for a long time before she would let in. Like she was afraid that she would grab someone taller and wrestle her like that. Yuri puts down his bag (
I don't know since when I brought it into the car) I sat down on one of the chairs before turning around and giving him a smile.
“Okay, so where do you want me to sleep, Mr. Homeowner?”
“Wait, I haven't given you permission yet!” The other girl instantly frowned at the tall figure. Both hands raised, feet on hips, looking at the other person's face, frowning.
“But your mother allowed it,” Yuri shrugged with an annoyed expression on his face. The answer from the tall figure made the owner of the house's eyes widen, "What!?"
"Take it easy, you... Your mother called and told me to come stay with you. I don't know if staying home alone will cause the house to explode. Besides, your mother says that lately you've been more absent-minded and distracted. I am worried about you too.”
“...What are you worried about? I'm on my own You go back and take care of the person you love,” the woman said sarcastically, turning away. I admit that I feel quite good that the tall figure shows that he cares for her. But still, she doesn't want to be selfish and hold another person back even though he has someone he loves in his heart.
“Fanny? Fany is not my girlfriend. I think I've told you many times already.” Yuri frowned.
“But Yul still hasn't stopped loving you, right?”
“...Then why are you angry?” The woman's expression clearly showed how dissatisfied she was. That made the tall figure not understand.
“You are…” Some people were a little annoyed by the way the other party seemed to never understand anything. The owner of the house walked away and went up to his room, leaving the tall figure standing there alone in confusion. The door of the room was shut violently. The young woman walked over and lay face down on the bed.
...Why... Why don't you ever understand everything I've done? Why did I do it?
The young woman sat and looked at the spoon in front of her in confusion. When a tall visitor scooped up a bowl of porridge, carefully blew on it to release the heat, and then handed it to her. Moreover, the gesture of nodding was like an adult feeding a child.
"Uh... I think I'd rather eat it myself." Someone reached out and grabbed a spoon and held it for himself. But he is tall and has a fierce voice and face that is not serious. Why else would you avoid the spoon? “Don't be so stubborn, open your mouth quickly.”
“Yul, it would be embarrassing to die.”
“What are you ashamed of? What can I tell you? I don't come to feed people often. So please cooperate with me... Quick, open your mouth... Hey, don't play hard. Enter it well. If you don't like it, would you like it to be entered in a different way? OK..."
Yuri placed the cup on the bedside table and stood up from his chair and immediately sat next to the figure on the bed. Both hands locked around the waist of someone who was sick.
“What are you going to do?” Her face was red. I don't know if it was from the fever or the person who was now hugging her from behind. It made the stubborn person from just a moment ago become so still and not move at all.
“Well, you don't want to eat well.” The tall man moved his body slightly to reach out and pick up the cup. Then he scooped up the porridge and handed it to the woman again. I will use my mouth to feed you.”
The more she received threats like this, the more she didn't dare to fight with the tall figure. He only opened his mouth to accept the spoon from Yuri so politely that the bowl was empty.
"It's just that. I don't see how difficult it is at all..."
"..." The young woman didn't answer but turned her head away and avoided the other person's eyes. I didn't want him to see how red her face was. Moreover, the damn heart beats harder. It's getting stronger and stronger with no signs of calming down.
“What's the matter? Is this a headache?” Some only lightly shook their heads in response, still not saying anything.
Yuri's phone rang, interrupting the moment some wanted to stop it. To reap this little bit of happiness The tall figure stood up from the bed when he saw who was calling and walked out of the room as his fingertips pressed the answer button. Someone's name that he said cut deep into her heart.
“What about Fanny? Oh, I'll be back in a while. But whether Fanny wants anything or not, I'll buy it for you... Oh, then you don't have to wait. You can just go to sleep. Um... good night."
Yuri hung up the phone and put the phone in his pocket again. Before walking back into the room, he found a young woman sitting and looking at her with strangely dull eyes. Yuri sat down in the same chair and raised his hand to gently touch his thin forehead.
“Is something wrong? Your eyes are red.” The tall girl's thin hand slowly pulled away. “I'm fine now. Thank you for taking the time to take care of me. And I'm sorry that I had to cause trouble. You go back.”
His slender brows were furrowed into a knot, feeling quite a bit annoyed. The girl suddenly changed her pronoun from 'Yul' to 'you' like before and looked distant.
"I'm sleepy. You can go back now." Someone lay down and turned his back to Yuri. Lift the blanket up to your nose. The tall figure looked at the other person's expression with complete confusion. Reaching out to gently touch the patient's shoulder, he suddenly stopped. His hand was pulled back to his side as before before he spoke.
“Then... don't forget to take your medicine. I'll come again tomorrow.”
The young woman didn't answer anything but lay quietly listening to the tall man's deep voice. Before he heard soft footsteps walking out of the room. The sound of the front door opening and closing followed by the sound of the engine driving away...
...He's gone...
Some used their hands to support their bodies and sat up. Using the back of one hand, he wiped away a few tears that had fallen. She sat like that for a long time until she heard the front door open again. After a while, a middle-aged woman opened the door and entered her room.
"Oh... You're not sleeping yet?" A figure hugged his mother as soon as she walked in and sat down next to him. Although a bit confused, the older man embraced him and gently rubbed his daughter's head. "What's wrong? Why are you crying... Hm, tell mom.”
The girl in her mother's arms continued to cry. The stories that came out of her mouth were silently listened to by the older people. Hands caressing the back and head of some bodies. Even though it wasn't easy for her to listen to her daughter's story, Because some bodies sobbed and talked. But as soon as her daughter finished telling her story, her mother pushed the younger man away slightly.
“So, does your child love him very much?”
Some people nodded their heads and answered immediately without wasting time thinking about it. That caused a faint smile to appear on the middle-aged woman's face. His mother's warm palm gently rested on his head as she continued speaking. “So what is your child afraid of? Since your child loves him and will probably never stop loving him, right? Love is like this
always comes with disappointment He is not the only child who has experienced disappointment and sorrow. He's never done it himself, hasn't he?"
“But he already has someone he loves, mom... Even though we've already broken up But it doesn't mean that we can't get back together again.”
“Don't be pessimistic about the world, okay? Do you have someone you love? Why? God does not forbid us to stop loving someone just because he already has someone in his heart. As long as your child doesn't intend to steal anyone's lover. The mother will assume that the child has done nothing wrong. And he's not dating anyone right now, is that true?
So don't think about the time he and his ex will get back together. Because that is the future. It hasn't happened yet... Therefore now You have the right to fight for your love.”
“Mom…” Some body hugged her mother again, “Thank you. Thank you for always being there for me.”
“Say something like that. Mom is the mother of my child. If you don't let me be next to you, who will you let me be next to? By the way, look, how are you feeling? Have you taken any medicine yet? Do you still have a headache?” The woman shook her head slightly with a faint smile and a tear-stained face.
“Not anymore. Thank you again, Mom.”
“Yes... Then Mom won't bother me anymore. Get plenty of rest.”
"yes"
Yuri followed the figure up and stopped in front of the girl's private room. A hand knocked on the door and called out to some figure. But some people turn their ears and eyes and don't care at all. Still buried in the chair, looking out the window with a mood that was still gloomy.
“You, please open the door... I'm sorry if I did something to offend you, please come out.”
A slender palm knocked on the door and called out for a long time until the girl had to open the door out of annoyance. The expression that Yuri saw when the owner of the room opened the door was one of displeasure, furrowed eyebrows, and pouting face. “Is there anything else?”
“Oh... uh...”
"If you don't, then go down. I'll sleep." After saying that, some figure immediately closed the door. But the tall figure reached out and blocked it until the door was completely locked in. This made the owner of the finger that was blocking him cry out and loudly shout out the house until someone opened the door again in shock.
“Dead! Why are you blocking your hand? Look, is something wrong?” With that, the young woman grabbed the tall figure's hand and held it carefully, turning it around gently. Meanwhile, the owner of the hand stood looking at the other person, smiling slightly. Until the owner of the room looked up and saw him and immediately shook his hand away from Yuri's hand. “What are you looking at?”
“Can't you look at cute people?”
...again... Some people really want to disappear from here. When the other person wanted to compliment each other, they suddenly complimented her, making her unable to help but feel embarrassed. Some of them turned away and raised their heads and said sarcastically.
“Then you must be looking at the wrong person. Please go back and look at your Miss Tiffany.”
“Eh, you're weird. Why do you keep talking about Fany so much... Don't tell me..." Yuri's eyes widened as if he knew something, causing some of his breathing to falter. "Uh... what?"
"Don't tell me that you... like Fany." Someone let out a sigh of relief. I'm deeply grateful for Yuri's naiveté, but I can't help but be annoyed... What kind of person can be this stubborn? Could you please think to yourself that the person you really like isn't his ex-lover? But it's who you are.
"I'm delusional. How can I like your boyfriend?" With that, a thin palm gently pushed the tall man's shoulder.
“Oh... I see you talk about it often. Besides, you always show displeasure whenever you say that Fany is my girlfriend... I thought you were jealous of Fany.” Yuri continued to speak so innocently that some of her felt annoyed. I wanted to pull the tall figure close to her by the collar and shout loudly to let her know that she wasn't jealous of Tiffany. But I'm jealous of him!!
"Enough, we'd better stop talking about this... Oh, that's right, you sleep in my room. I'll just go sleep in my mother's room." The young woman began to feel dizzy from the tall man's naiveté, so she quickly cut herself off and went to grab some personal items from the room and walked into the room that was nearby. Not yet, I turned back to Yuri again.”
If you have any problems, please tell me. I'm in the room next to you.”
The tall figure nodded with a smile before walking down to pick up his own bag of clothes and entering the other girl's room. A not-so-large bag was placed on a chair and he stood and looked around the room, which was almost entirely decorated in light pink. Making guests like Yuri unable to help but laugh softly in his throat and shake his head lightly.
...I can't help it. The design of this room's decoration really reminds me of Tiffany...
The owner of the house placed the clothes and things he had taken out of the room onto the bed. before he dropped down and sat down to follow A soft sigh was heard as his eyes glanced at a picture frame of himself from middle school wearing thick glasses. A hand picked it up and slowly opened the back of the picture frame. It revealed another picture of two people who were more than familiar.
When one of them is Taeyeon A young cousin who had been gone for more than five years. As for the other person, who was standing and hugging the smaller man's neck with a slight smile on his face, it couldn't be anyone else. Aside from the tall figure who was in her room right now.
His fingers gently traced the face in the picture. I could only imagine when Yuri would finally realize this. That every action of hers made him It's so much and more special than anyone else... But it seems that he is extremely honest. When everyone could see what the feelings she gave him were. But he thought it was so common that many times she was irritated and discouraged.
...When will you ever know that I...
A dark-skinned man sat staring at his ex-lover with anticipation at the food in front of him. It wasn't often that a tall figure would cook food for his younger sister to eat. Unless it's a really special occasion or the last time someone was sick. And what makes this time a special occasion is to welcome some bodies back from the hospital... Since she rarely cooked for herself, Yuri didn't have much confidence in whether her cooking would be to Tiffany's taste or not.
A newly recovered person scoops up a small sip of seollongtang, or beef bone soup. Before raising his head, he nodded quickly to the older man with a smile.
“It's delicious. Here, do you want to try it?” With that, Tiffany scooped up some of the soup and handed it to the older person sitting across from her. Yuri raised his hands slightly and shook his head lightly, “No, it's delicious and I'm really worried it'll go bad. Fanny, please eat.”
“Are you sure you don't want it?” Someone held up the spoon and floated it around disturbingly before putting it in his own mouth. The tall man shook his head lightly, laughing in his throat. “No, I don't really want to fight the bear. Eat a lot and you'll get fat."
“Brother Yul! Saying that, Tiffany won't eat anymore.” Tiffany put the spoon into the cup and immediately shook her head away.
“Ah, no more teasing. You can be petulant like a child."
Knock Knock Knock The sound of knocking on the door caught the attention of the two people who turned to look. Before the owner of the room could get up and walk over, he looked through the peephole and saw a young nurse standing outside, dressed from head to toe in white. Knowing who it was, he opened the door and smiled.
"Oh, you're sick now?"
The new girl smiled faintly as she entered the room. “It's much better. Thank you for visiting yesterday. So today I bought this for you. Mother also left some things for Yul.” A few bags in the hands of some figures were held up for the room owner to see.
“Wow, what's so many things? I don't see it necessary at all. I went yesterday and it wasn't difficult at all. I am willing to leave.”
“Take it, because Mom and I are willing to give it to Yul as well.”
Yuri had to take the items into his hands with a considerate expression. “So, have you eaten anything yet?” The woman shook her head lightly with a smile. “Then you eat here with me today. In return for always buying me things.”
“What in return, Yul? I usually come to eat with Yul here almost every day. Besides, I've said this many times already. that I am willing”
While the two were talking Another young woman walked out of the kitchen and stood next to the tall figure. “Who's here, Brother Yul?” Tiffany raised her head to look at the older sister alternating with the young woman in a nurse's uniform with suspicion. Narrow eyes stared at the newcomer for a moment before remembering that it was the same nurse who had taken care of her when she was in the hospital. So he said, “Oh, it's that nurse. What are you doing here?”
As for the young nurse, her face was a little embarrassed. The smile from a moment ago faded when he discovered that the tall figure was not alone today. Even though he knew that Tiffany was with him last night, he didn't expect to see them today. The young woman forced herself to smile again without saying anything. while Yuri answered instead.
“He comes here every day. I bought this for my regular brother until he was afraid and didn't know what to say. Today, I'm planning to give you some food in return..."
Tiffany was quite surprised when she heard the answer from the tall figure. Was it just the nurse who took care of her when she was injured and had to go back and forth to Yuri's room and buy things to get her everything? No, there's probably more to it than that. Some of them suppressed that doubt before smiling wider, reaching out to hold onto the arm of the taller older sister, and said, “
So let's go eat... But it looks like Yul hyung has to cook more food because Fany isn't full yet.”
“Hmm, I think you've done a lot. That should be enough.”
“Oh Yul hyung, Fany just got well. You need to do a lot of maintenance.”
Their conversation began to make the other woman feel like she was extra. This is a feeling that some bodies don't like at all. Luckily, Yuri left her younger sister clinging to her arm and addressed her before she decided to call attention to herself. “So, do you want to eat something special? I'll do it right now.”
Some glanced at Tiffany for a bit before smiling again and replying. “Whatever. I can eat it all, as long as Yul makes it.”
...Damn, this nurse is a lot worse than she thought...
The entire time at the dinner table, only Yuri was the only one who didn't feel anything strange about the two women. while the two secretly looked at each other all the time When one of them glanced up to look at the other, they averted their eyes and looked down at the food in front of them again. This went on for a long time until Yuri himself began to feel something a little unusual.
“Uh... what's wrong with these two? We've been looking at each other for a long time."
Both the young nurse and Tiffany paused for a moment before the younger one corrected himself, “Oh, Fanny, I just think that the nurse is pretty. Her skin is white and her figure is good... So my boyfriend isn't too possessive, is that bad? Wait.”
Yuri choked a little at her younger sister's words. While the nurse knew that she was playing a war of nerves, she smiled and replied with an answer that Tiffany and Yuri couldn't understand. "No, because I don't have any... But now I'm bothering. Investing diligently followed up to the room that offered the bridge several times.
When are you going to soften up?" After saying that, he looked towards the tall figure with eyes that didn't matter how Tiffany looked at him. It was clearly flirting!!
“What do you say?” he asked again in a sweet voice that gave some tall ex-lovers goosebumps. While Yuri was eating, “Huh? Oh... what?”
The woman scooted her chair closer to Yuri who was sitting on her left. Lift your hands up with your chin and bring your face slightly closer to your tall body. Sends a look that makes the viewer unable to help but shiver and immediately look away. “When will Yul be willing to accept me into Yul's heart?”
“Oh... uh.”
“Uh, nurse. Don't you have work today? That's why you've come to see Yul since the sun hasn't even set yet. Don't you have to take care of sick people?" The youngest person argued with a sarcastic tone. Moreover, the pronouns used to refer to tall seniors have changed as they did when they were still together. She admits that throughout her time with Yuri, she never had feelings beyond brotherhood.
But when I saw that someone else was trying to steal the special position of a tall person from her, It really couldn't help but be jealous.
“I have work, but today I just recovered from a short illness, so my friend chased me home. But I came here because I have more important business to attend to.” The nurse turned around and smiled back in a normal tone.
"I don't know what business it is." The youngest's expression became sullen while the other one let out a smile on his face. before turning to look at the sharp-faced person again and answering Tiffany, even though his eyes were only focused on the owner of the room.
"What about the heart's business?"
The tall figure glanced at the girl on his right a little, daring to look directly at the other person. He turned to look at the younger sister to his left and then lowered his head to look at the table. Can only say one word:
...There's a lot of work coming in...
The sound of the utensils in Yuri's hands clinking in the sink. With a young nurse and Tiffany standing on either side, exchanging glances at each other behind the tall figure. I don't know how the owner of the room felt a chill on his neck. His soft fur suddenly stood up and he had to glance at the two women standing next to him.
"Uh... It's cold today," he said while laughing dryly at the other two. The girl in the nurse's uniform spoke before Tiffany even opened her mouth.
“Yul, are you cold? So, do you want me to hug you so I can get warmer?”
"Uh..." He was stopped.
“Nurse... I don't think it's that much. Don't say this and that in hopes of harassing Yul,” Tiffany said, giving the tall senior's guest a stern smile. The young nurse also turned around and smiled in response.
“Even when you say that. But your hand clung to Yul's arm and didn't let go.”
“I don't think it's strange. Yul and I have been together for a long time. We're so close we'll take a shower together, we've already done it. So just clinging to your arm like this doesn't seem strange at all.”
“Uh...” The person said as if he didn't know where the red face had gone from the listener. But she couldn't help but think in her heart that Tiffany had eaten something wrong or not, causing her to argue with another young woman. The water was flowing and the electricity was out. Oh... Another thing that she wondered about...
...When did you go naked and take a shower with Fanny? (Wha)!?...
The nurse laughed softly in response after listening to Tiffany's story. It made the younger people slightly angry. "I don't know what you're laughing at."
“You seem to be extremely jealous of your sister, Ms. Tiffany.” It was a sentence that made the young woman who was arguing with the nurse stop immediately. To the point of being silent, he couldn't continue but turned his head and ran the other way. While glancing at the other person continuously The woman in the nurse's uniform flashed a smile that almost cut Tiffany into pieces.
“Uh... er, are you going back yet? I'll give you a ride." Yuri, who seemed to have the slightest role this time, said, adding to the atmosphere. The young nurse turned around and smiled sweetly until her blood sugar level suddenly rose. Moreover, the sentence was spoken in such a pleading tone that Tiffany couldn't help but feel annoyed.
“Let's not chase each other down yet. Let me go back now and be alone anyway. Mother hasn't come back yet... But if Yul wants me back, Yul has to go back and be my friend first. It was Yul who said he would come visit me yesterday.”
“But you came to visit Yul instead. That should be enough.” The youngest person returned to teasing the young nurse again. But the other girl made a kiss sound and raised her index finger and waved it before grabbing Yuri's other arm and clinging to it. He then leaned forward and approached the younger man before whispering softly.
“It's not enough, Ms. Tiffany... That alone is not enough.”
After having to endure a lot of pressure from unknown places. Yuri was able to separate the two women. She had to take the young nurse home as she usually did. The tall figure glanced at the person sitting next to him several times, thinking about the strange behavior of this thin figure in a nurse's uniform.
Normally, I don't talk to anyone very often. Also... Well, it also made her almost have a heart attack several times in just a few hours. The more you could feel the slaughter through the eyes of the nurse and Tiffany, to be honest, the soft hairs on both your upper arms and neck suddenly stood up.
...Have these two people had anything to do with each other before? Or while Fany was still in the hospital, these two wouldn't get along well? But it's not likely. Because the first moment we met, we didn't see them giving each other cruel glances right away...
The more I think about it, the more my head hurts. The more he found answers, the more stressed he became, until finally Yuri shook off the cluttered thoughts and continued driving without saying a word. Until the young woman sitting next to her opened her mouth.
"Your boyfriend's behavior is really jealous of you."
“Huh?... Oh, Fanny? No, it's not like this every time. I wonder if today I'm in a bad mood or annoyed with something? Anyway, I have to apologize on behalf of Fany if I did something rude... But hey, wait a minute, Fannie is not my girlfriend.”
“Oh, really?” The tone of the person next to me clearly indicated that he did not believe the tall man's words.
“That's right, I broke up with him and you don't remember? Your brain seems to be in bad shape. Would you like the doctor to check it out in case it might be Alzheimer's?” The innocent sentence of the dizzy person made him unable to resist the urge to slap his palm on the speaker's shoulder. Before the voice came back, the sound was so loud that Yuri's eardrums almost died.
“Are you crazy or what? I'm not that old yet.”
“Who said you're old? Come on, don't frown like that. Why don't you smile a little? Look, you still have a young face, like a fifteen-year-old's,” Yuri said, taking one hand off the steering wheel and lightly pinching the nurse's cheek, laughing softly. Because their eyes were still focused on the road, they didn't notice the other party's discolored face. The thin hand of the person being teased gently slapped the other's hand away.
“Damn... just focus on driving!”
“You have such a loud voice that you are becoming my second mother.”
The tall figure brought his hand back and placed it in its original position. He couldn't help but complain that the young woman was feeling lonely and alone. Soon the car was parked in front of the young nurse's house. The woman stepped out of the car and bent down to speak to the person sitting on the driver's side.
“Would you like to come in and get something to drink first?” The person asked shook his head lightly, “No, I don't want to disturb.”
“What's bothering you? You say this like you're indirectly trying to trick me. Because I play at your house every day until it has become my second home.” The young woman instantly pouted and puffed out her cheeks at the other person. Yuri saw this and couldn't help but chuckle.
...would be too cute...
“Young lady, don't be so hot.”
“Yuri!”
"Oh, you're just kidding... Thanks for the invitation, but that's for another day. You hurry and go home. And don't forget to lock the door.” This was the phrase Yuri used every time he dropped the girl off at the door. The figure slightly frowned before gently slamming the car door and walking into the house. But still, he turned around and stuck out his tongue at the people in the car in annoyance again.
The tall figure sitting inside watching couldn't help but laugh. I must admit that this young nurse makes her laugh every time we're together. Feel comfortable and feel confident as if you've known each other for a long time. To be honest, if it was someone else who interfered in her life to the point of following her home like this. There may be a chance to see Yurivine wearing it as well. But Yuri didn't feel that way about this girl.
...What is the reason for this?...
A tall figure lays down with his back pressed against the bed. His head touched a large, soft pillow. A pair of sharp eyes stared at the ceiling without seeming to fall asleep...
...I'm not worried at all...
Part of this may be because of the strange feeling that Because besides your own home and the condo you currently live in, She didn't spend the night at anyone's house or anywhere else very often. It also felt hard, like something was stabbing through the pillow... Wait a minute...
Yuri sat up again and looked at the pillow that rested his head. A row of hands lifted the pillow into the darkness, with only the moonlight shining into the room. When the pillow was lifted out of the way, what was hidden under the pillow appeared. Sharp eyes narrowed slightly to adjust to the darkness.
Yuri slowly picked it up and looked at it at eye level. I turned it around and looked at it to make sure it was a voice recorder.
...of that nurse?...
Yuri shook his head to dispel those nonsense thoughts... Since it was under the pillow in that young nurse's room. And who can it belong to? The tall figure shook his head lightly before putting it back down and putting the pillow back down to lie down again. But it looks like her hand accidentally touched the volume up button. Make the voice recorder work.
“Ah!~ Kwon Yuri, when will you be so naïve?!” The owner of the name was taken aback when the familiar voice of the room owner shouted her name in frustration. coming from a voice recorder Yuri picked up the voice recorder again and listened intently to the nurse's recordings. Even though I know that it is bad manners.
...Human curiosity is always difficult to suppress...
“You really can't tell, or are you pretending not to know? How do I feel about you?' His dark brows furrowed into a knot. But he didn't say anything and continued to listen intently. “But I might be wrong. For not telling you my true feelings directly... Because I'm not sure if you remember me or not... The student you helped a few days before the day you lost your best friend.”
...Eh?... The tall figure rolled his eyes and stared at the ceiling, trying to think through what the woman's sweet voice said through the voice recorder in her hand. The student she helped? Yuri's brain tried to pull out the memories of the girl's words as quickly as possible. Before a familiar face appeared
A thin girl in a school uniform who has a face similar to Taeyeon's. Only her best friend looks a bit smaller... Now that I think about it, the student in question was a woman at that time?
The tall figure hid his hands in the pockets of his school skirt. His other hand tightened his handbag and placed it on his shoulder as he wandered about in boredom. The sound of sighing and sighing was heard continuously, according to the high mood of the body. Because Taeyeon, my close friend, is currently not sure what's going on. Whenever it was time to finish school, it was like I had to rush home without waiting for my friends or the group.
Meanwhile, Tiffany herself is no different. It often made her feel like she was left alone after school.
Sigh... and sighed again. ...This life is boring...
“Y... Don't.” Hm... It was as if my damned ears had heard someone's sweet voice emanating from the narrow alley where she was standing at the entrance. The tall figure stopped in his tracks, stood and looked into the alley for a moment, his ears slightly closed, his hands raised to protect his ears, listening intently to the sound just now. before hearing a loud noise again Only this time it was a man's hoarse voice.
"Don't be stubborn. You guys won't do anything," came a soft whisper that Yuri could barely understand. His dark brows furrowed together slightly, trying to focus on listening more than before. But the voice that answered this time made the tall figure startled.
Scream!!!!!!
Hoy!
The woman's high-pitched screams sounded, along with the voices of about two or three men shouting softly, as if ordering the woman to be quiet. The sweet voice from just a moment ago disappeared, replaced by soft sobs.
...no! Yuri… you're just a girl. Don't act like a hero because it's not worth it...
A voice inside protested as a tall figure stepped one foot into a narrow and lonely alley. It made her stop with hesitation. His brows furrowed into a knot as another thought forced his legs to step into that lonely path again. Two sides of the mind clash between self-love and the subconscious mind that doesn't want to let fellow humans of the same gender suffer a terrible fate.
Yuri doesn't know which side of the mind wins. All he knew was that when he became aware of it, the soles of his own heavy feet had dug into the broad back of a tall man.
...Yuri... You're crazy!...
This time, the tall figure was sure that it wasn't any part of his mind that was arguing. Instead, it was you who was shouting and cursing yourself in your heart. The person who was kicked so hard fell to the ground. This caused the remaining two men to pause in confusion for a moment. Yuri didn't let this time go to waste and grabbed the hand of a thin figure in a student uniform. Standing and hugging a book with both hands trembling, he ran away from that place as quickly as possible.
“Oh, you idiot! What are you doing just standing there confused? Follow me!” The person who had been completely supported stood up and shouted at the rest in frustration. The remaining two thugs were startled and ran after the two women as soon as their elders' voices were heard. But because he was a baseball player who often had to run around the field, another figure was able to quickly escape from the men. The two of them stopped in an alley and stood there, panting from exhaustion.
“Are you alright?” Two hands on his knees supporting his body, he turned around and asked, some of them panting. The female student shook her head lightly as she glanced at her for a moment. Before saying the sentence, the tall figure almost immediately glared at him.
“Aren't you a karate player? Why don't you fight?” These words were unbelievable coming from the mouth of a person who had just screamed loudly and was shaking like a baby bird falling into the water. Moreover, an expression that barely contained any trace of fear like just now made Yuri feel dizzy with the thin body next to him.
“Look at you, even though I'm a karateka, I don't want to get into trouble. Think about it, if my face had a little bit of a bruise, wouldn't the teacher kill me tomorrow? It's almost time for the final exam. Why do I have to enter again? I still don't want the record of an outstanding student to be blemished.”
His tall figure had a long, long, kite-like tail that even he couldn't help but be confused about. Even though normally I'm not a very talkative person, why did he talk this time to make the water flow and the electricity put out... But eh... wait a minute, another thing you're wondering about.
“Wait... How do you know I'm a karateka?” Yuri's question made the other person flinch as well. But it only lasted a moment before he shrugged and walked outside to stand, then turned around again and bowed slightly.
“Anyway, thank you. that helped me... Mr. Yuri, the first doubt has not yet been clarified. This young student has created another mystery in her mind. But before the tall figure could open his mouth to ask, the other young woman hurriedly ran away, leaving the tall figure standing there scratching his head in confusion.
...but let's just say The woman from just now looked familiar, I don't know...
“What's wrong, monkey? Make a face like you haven't pooped for a week. Look, why are your eyebrows furrowed? Do you want to grow old quickly?” Taeyeon leaned over to the tall figure across the school's marble horse table and raised her hand to gently poke at it. Between the two eyebrows of a close friend With Yuri screaming back before raising her hand to gently rub the area where the small body had poked and giving Taeyeon a stern look.
"Are you crazy or not? I'm just thinking about something, that's all... By the way, what's going on these days? I see you drink coffee too often. If you drink a lot, the caffeine will damage your stomach and kill you.” The dark-skinned person couldn't help but ask as Taeyeon was often seen drinking coffee every morning these days. The small figure glanced at the person sitting across from him as he raised his coffee cup and drank it before placing it on the table as usual.
“It's too much, it's just this time because it's close to the big exam. Coffee helps your memory, doesn't it?"
“Even so, Benefits come with disadvantages.”
“Too serious. Like me, I won't die easily, believe me." With that, he stood up from his seat and sat next to his tall close friend instead. He raised his arm and placed it around Yuri's neck, his smile widening until his teeth were white. His dark eyebrows twitched slightly before he lifted up a small smile.
"Oh... you have a nice mouth. I want you to wait and watch me die before you do."
“Oh, this bastard, are you cursing yourself like this crazy mouth?”
Then the conversation continued with loud laughter interspersing all the time. Not knowing that this might be the last day. And the last chance for both of them to sit and talk happily.
...because of this world There is always something beyond expectations...
...That's not true...
Yuri's knees went weak and he fell to the ground to see who the person lying in Tiffany's arms was. A small, white body that was stained with crimson blood stains all over. The familiar face no longer radiated playfulness like before. But he closed his eyes and stayed still, not moving... Not even breathing
The cries of the younger sisters pierced deep into the heart. I don't want to believe my eyes. I couldn't believe that heaven would take away her dearest friend forever like this. Tears welled up in both eyes, the edges were hot. You just have to keep it deep down. Can't let it out now
Things you can do now There would only be some hugging a body that cried until its body was stained with the blood of its lover. Tears streaming down her cheeks dripped down and mixed with the millions of blood beads. No matter how loudly I cry and call out It seemed like he couldn't wake the little man up again. And tell them this is just a dream.
A pair of sharp eyes slowly closed.
...I don't want to accept the pain of leaving at all...
A funeral is held amidst Tae Hee's grief. The mother of a little dear friend who cried until her eyes were swollen and red. His face was pale and his body looked thin. My hair was messy, like I hadn't taken care of myself in a long time. Yuri and Tiffany walked up to her and offered their condolences, feeling equally dejected.
“Thank you for coming. If Taeyeon knew, she would be happy,” a husky voice said to the two children as their eyes started to water again. A handkerchief was picked up and wiped away Tae Hee's tears by a young woman sitting next to him. Before she gently rubbed Auntie's upper arm in a comforting way, she also had clear water welling up.
Yuri raised his eyebrows slightly when he noticed who the girl was and casually said softly. This made her look up and meet the tall figure's eyes for the first time since the tall figure walked in. Tae Hee saw the two of them looking at each other for a long time and spoke up.
“Oh, really... Yul probably doesn't know yet. This is Taeyeon's cousin.”
"So..." Even though the face looked familiar... Yuri only responded briefly as his eyes never left the woman sitting next to him who was the mother of his best friend. before Tae Hee spoke up again.
“Sooyeon, this is Yuri, Taeyeon's best friend... But I think I probably knew him first, right?”
His dark brows immediately furrowed together. What does it mean that you already know each other?...
Some of them sniffled and made a soft hissing sound as they nodded in response.
“Yes, I know you well.”
...and the person he said he knew well... What does it mean?...
Oh... Really, how could you forget? Jung Sooyeon, Taeyeon's cousin, who once said that they studied in the same school, just in a higher grade. He is a school star who has sung in important competitions and received many awards. The hand holding the voice recorder moved slightly as his eyes continued to stare aimlessly.
Trying to brainstorm the question that still bothers me about why Suyeon seemed to know her so well like he said back then. But the more I thought about it, the more my head ached. Because she definitely remembered never having met Sooyeon before. Otherwise, she would definitely remember.
...Damn, I'm so irritated... When he didn't get what he wanted, there were things on his mind like this, the taller figure became even more annoyed with himself. With a sweet, clear voice passing through her ears all the time.
“Sigh... I wouldn't be too surprised if you didn't recognize me. And I'm not at all angry that you act like you don't know me. Because in reality, it is probably only me who knows you better.” Nurse Uan's soft voice said in a way that cut off the bully, causing the listeners' hearts to twitch strangely. “When I think about it, I don't know how I feel like I'm a stoker.
Always secretly watching and following, and also likes to make it seem like there's a coincidence that I'm in a place where you'll often see me. But even then, you didn't pay any attention to me at all.”
The tall figure tried to remember the story the young nurse had said. Before I vaguely remembered that there were times when I felt like someone was secretly watching me. But she didn't care much.
“Then I found out not long after that you were secretly in love with your junior. Do you know how much that hurts me?” Yuri stood up from the bed with the recorder still clutched in his hand. “Many times I thought about going to say hello to you. Let us get to know each other But many times I will say hello to you
Fear kept me from saying it.”
Her slender hand gripped the doorknob and she opened it and walked out of the room with the slightest sound as the owner of the room's voice continued to sound from the recorder in her hand. “Afraid that the day we will become more than people who don't know each other. And the day you know my feelings, will it make our relationship worse?”
There was a knock on the door of another room. This is the room where some figures moved to stay instead, giving up their own rooms to tall figures. The knocker waited only a short time before hearing the sound of someone standing up and walking towards the door. “If I say I love you Will you be angry with me?”
The door separating the two women opened and a confused expression appeared on a certain figure's face. Her voice coming from the recorder that Yuri held up to eye level caused the owner's eyes to widen. Especially the next sentence that she didn't want the person in front of her to hear.
“Kwon Yuri... I love you.” Soo Yeon reached out and grabbed her voice recorder back in her hand and immediately turned it off. But that didn't seem to help much as the taller person seemed to have heard every sentence she recorded. Yuri kept a calm face and didn't speak until she was afraid. The other person didn't say anything for a long time.
Which makes the surrounding atmosphere seem quite uncomfortable for some people. She didn't even dare to raise her eyes and stood on the ground without saying anything. He let the silence take over for a moment before the taller man spoke up, breaking the silence he had created.
“Can I go into the room and talk?” The figure didn't answer, except he turned slightly, allowing another person to step foot into the room. Yuri walked in and stood in the middle of the room, his eyes slowly moving around the room as his brain processed the matter just now. She admits that she is stupid for not being able to guess anyone's emotions or feelings.
I don't know anything at all to the point of being annoyed with myself. But it wasn't like she would ever be annoyed by the attitude of the young nurse who owned this house. She wondered every time she kept being nice to her. Waiting and caring Because it's what she's done before with Tiffany. Many times I wondered about Sooyeon's true feelings. That she always acted as if she had feelings for her.
...Yes, you know!... Just not sure...
But today, she is sure that what she suspected in her heart was true. When hearing every story from your own voice Even if it's a method that some people are not willing to hear. The long man slowly let out a breath from his prominent nose before he felt a light touch on his left hand. Suyeon slowly intertwined her own hand with the other's, as if afraid that Yuri would jerk her hand away.
“Yuri…” His lips moved and he called out softly, “I'm sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing?” he asked, still turning away. The thin man pursed his lips tightly and increased the force of squeezing the taller man's hand, causing the other man to frown slightly. Before Suyeon could answer, her trembling voice made the listeners frightened.
"That said I love you"
Yu Ri turned around and saw red eyes with clear water in them. This time, it was her who tightened her grip on the thin palm. The taller person crouched down just a little so that his face was level with the other person. Before raising his free hand to support his thin face and using his fingers His thumb gently spreads the tears that are about to fall.
“Did I say I was angry?” A slender face revealed a faint smile. “What do you say, Sooyeon... Do I look like someone who is angry, hmm?”
The smaller person raised his eyes and looked at the other person with wet eyes. The dark-skinned person's face did not show any anger or dissatisfaction at all. A slight smile curled his lips. Moreover, the voice that spoke was gentle as always. There was no yelling, no screaming, no shouting, everything was still the same even though she knew the truth about how she felt about him. Even so, Yuri is still the same Yuri, nothing has changed.
“Don't cry. It'll give you a headache." The tall man said with a teasing smile. The same hand that had been used to smooth away the tears from her body a moment ago lifted up and lightly tousled Sooyeon's hair. His attitude made her easily begin to relax. Suyeon smiled faintly, not forcing it or pretending at all.
"I'm really sorry," even though the other person said he wasn't angry. But he couldn't help but apologize. If it was before When Yuri was still dating Tiffany, she probably felt bad and wrong for falling in love with him. But today she felt guilty... I feel so wrong. She really doesn't understand herself. While some were still confused about their own feelings, Yuri gently pulled Suyeon into a hug.
“I told you, I'm not angry. How could I be angry at the person who said they loved me?” he laughed softly causing the person who had been pulled into his hug to push back a little.
...Does he understand the meaning of the word 'love' that you just said?
The Yuri she knew was more of a bland and bland person. It was not strange that she understood that he might understand the meaning of the word love that she said in a different way. Even though for her it is an important word that is kept for only one person.
“Yuri... Do you know how I feel about you?” Her dark eyebrows raised slightly at this question, even though just moments ago she had just heard the words of love expressed together with herself. "So you said you loved me, didn't you?"
“And do you know how I love you?” The unexpected question was suddenly uttered, causing the tall figure to stop and answer with a gasp.
“What kind... what kind... Well...”
The answer is in my heart. But it felt strange to have to say it. Yuri's stammering and stammering speech made people like Suyeon, like Suyeon, annoyed. He thought that this naive girl definitely didn't know the meaning of her word love. Some people let out a deep sigh of frustration.
Hey! I really don't know, right?
The smaller person used the other hand that was still free to lift up and grab the nape of the neck with force. Press the taller person's face down slightly before reaching up on tiptoes to meet him. Lips with another person caught people off guard and their eyes widened unexpectedly. It didn't take long for the person who took the initiative to slowly withdraw his lips.
“W-What are you doing!?” Yuri asked loudly as soon as his lips were free again.
“Kiss, don't tell me you haven't,” Suyeon replied, furrowing her brows.
Well, never!
Yuri shouted loudly in his heart while his eyes rolled back and his face turned red. Thinking about how ridiculous his question was, “Then ask again, why did you kiss me!?”
"To prove how I feel about you... Now, do you know how I love you and in what capacity?”
...obviously but...
M... I don't see the need to prove it like this!!
“But you are strange. Got kissed by me but didn't try to defend it... Or do you like it?” Suyeon's next words made Yuri flinch, feeling the heat spread on her face. I was puzzled by the young woman's mood swings. Just now, he was pretending to cry and was actually shedding tears. At this time, I've returned to the mode of a crafty girl who flirts with her.
...but... it's better than having to see her cry...
“Not at all,” he replied in a teasing voice, unable to help raising his hand to scratch his cheek. But he didn't expect that the answer he gave would cause another person's mood to fluctuate again.
“Is kissing me really that bad?”
Hoy!!
"nothing!! I... I didn't mean it like that, just... uh, shocked.”
“It means that if I wasn't shocked, I'd probably push my head over the head.”
“No…”
“Do you really hate each other that much?”
“It's not like that…”
"vigorous..."
Yuri felt the urge to slam his head against something so hard that he would lose consciousness. When it seems that whatever she says will cause some of her emotions to fluctuate until To the point where tears welled up again and he kept his head down and his shoulders trembling. She's getting discouraged.
“How do you want me to believe that I don't feel bad about... Uh, your kiss?” The tall man asked helplessly. Since her words don't seem to help, let another person decide what she should do. But the young nurse slowly raised her head again before answering something that made the questioner's eyes widen and her face turned bright red again.
“Kiss me, can you do that?”
The two of them fell into silence for a long time. Especially Yuri, who felt his ears ringing and his brain blurred for a moment. Suddenly being told to kiss back by another person is not something that can be said so suddenly and done so suddenly. The tall figure looked at the face seriously, there was no hint of teasing on the thin figure, and felt troubled... It is not difficult to comply with another person's request.
But I was embarrassed by the look in his eyes that was waiting for her to fulfill that request anxiously!
Why do we have to look at each other with eyes like we're about to grab our prey like this!?
...Sigh...
“I must have caused you embarrassment. Forget about what I said just now.” Someone saw both the distressed expression and the soft sigh of the other person and said in a tone and expression that made the other person's heart flutter. The hand holding the tall figure's hand loosened and prepared to release it, but was tightened by another person as before. His other hand rose to support the back of the other's neck as he pulled the other man closer with force. Suyeon slowly closed her eyes before a warm touch gently touched her forehead.
Even though the kiss he showed didn't match her meaning. But she didn't deny that touch. Instead, he stood still and accepted the kiss willingly for a long time before the tall figure parted his lips. Come out slowly and gently press the other person's head onto the shoulder, then move your hand down to embrace it. The smaller person hugged him.
“Sorry, Sooyeon. That's all I can do now. But believe me I really don't feel bad for you,” a soft voice whispered. “In fact, I think I feel about you as much as…”
The last sentence softened as he realized that it would be inappropriate for him to mention 'someone else' while there was still a thin body in his embrace like this. Suyeon herself knew who the tall figure was referring to but she didn't say anything. Yuri tightened his grip on him.
“Yuria…” The owner of the name felt a little strange. When there were very few people who would call her like this It was a strangely good feeling. “Do you...do you love me?”
The person being asked didn't answer right away, but instead rested his chin on the other person's shoulder and gently rubbed the person's shoulder. Have the person asking the question close their eyes and wait to hear the answer without rushing anything. Let the tall figure continuously review the answer in his mind without rushing.
“I can't say it enough, Sooyeon. Because I'm still not very sure of my own feelings,” the tall man replied, still hugging the other person like that. “I don't know if I love you. All you know is that I like you and want you the way you feel about me.”
The figure buried her face on the other's broad shoulder and listened to every word the tall figure answered her. The answer she received couldn't be said to be enough to make her happy. But it's not sad either... On the other hand, she was quite satisfied that the other person didn't hate each other. Just him saying he likes you is enough for now.
“Soo Yeonah, can you wait for me? Waiting for the day when I can tell you I love you more confidently.”
“I have been waiting for you for many years…” The figure tightened his grip on the other person's hand before continuing in a muffled voice. “Is it okay to wait a little longer?”
3 Months later…
“Sooyeon, please explain what this is.” Yuri picked up something strange-looking with the tip of his index finger and thumb. Using his other hand, he pointed at the black thing in his hand while narrowing his eyes at the other person who was looking in another direction. The tall figure saw this and continued speaking, turning his body slightly and raising his thumb to point behind him, where the kitchen was. “Don't ignore me. Not just this...
Why is my kitchen like this?”
The condition should be a kitchen that is neatly organized and clean, without any stains. The main reason is that the owner rarely cooks his own food, so the kitchen is rarely used. Unless there are guests or special occasions, Yuri will occasionally enter the kitchen. But here the situation looked like it had just gone through a battle.
Yuri placed the greasy black plate on the plate as usual and walked over to stand in front of the suspect sitting in the middle of the living room. Bend down slightly.
“Don't tell me Suyeon went into the kitchen again.” Someone twisted his hands around while still avoiding the other person's eyes the whole time. while answering in a high-pitched voice
"What? Who's in the kitchen? No."
“Then why does the kitchen look like it was bombed like that?”
“Well...” Suyeon said for so long that the people waiting to hear the answer had to repeat it.
“So...?”
“Well...it might explode on its own. Who knows?” The answer sounded reasonable… Hoy! Are you crazy? Where in the kitchen is it going to explode itself? Don't change the topic.
“Sooyeon” the tall figure narrowed her eyes and screamed at the other person until the accused had to give up.
"Alright, I made it myself. I just wanted to try cooking some food..." Soo Yeon replied in such a coy tone that the other person thought he was angry but couldn't be angry. Why else would you make that sad face, drooping ears and drooping tail? Yuri let out a soft sigh and tilted his head slightly, causing another person watching to coo, "Yuri-ah..."
The tall figure raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly when he heard the next sentence.
“Don't be angry, I'm sorry,” Suyeon said, her eyes narrowing until Yuri had to sit down next to her, raising her hand to caress her cheek gently with a slight smile.
“Um... I'm not angry at Suyeon? I was just a little shocked when I went back to the room to see the kitchen messed up and a little confused... And how did you come up with this idea and want to cook? It's strange, hmm?"
“I just want to be the one to help Yultan, that's all,” some people replied in an indirect tone and their faces were faintly red. Another person heard that and laughed softly.
...Cooking something like that, there's a hope that if you eat it you'll definitely have a long hospital stay...
“Don't laugh. This is what someone wanted to do for you!” Soo Yeonveen immediately came out when she heard the other person's laughter. Having said that, he immediately turned his head away from the tall figure and crossed his arms over his chest.
...What? People hope well!...
“Ah, okay, I'm not laughing anymore, so don't be shy. If you want to cook, just tell me and I'll teach you, okay?” Yuri tried to get the other person to turn around but it didn't seem easy as Soo Yeon resisted. along with shaking his tall hand all the time until Yuri shook his head lightly and smiled in thought. The attitude of a sulking person
“Soo Yeon-ah... Yul is sorry.” The unfamiliar pronoun made people unable to help but raise their eyebrows and look at him suspiciously. But when I turned around, I saw another person's wide smile that I couldn't help but smile at. “I'm not angry at Yul, Sooyeon.”
With that, he grabbed the other man's hand and rubbed it on his cheek pleadingly. It made some of them laugh immediately, not expecting that the tall one would have this angle with him as well. Every time I see it, it's naive and stupid. If you're stiff you'll die.
"What are you doing, Yul? It's going to be funny."
“It makes Soo Yeon angry. But it seems like it's been successful, right? Look at that big smile,” Yuri said teasingly, raising a finger to lightly poke Sooyeon's cheek, teasingly causing the other person to hit her shoulder back. "Crazy, that's crazy!"
Yuri gathered the other man into a soft hug as their laughter continued to be heard, alternating with soft chatter.
“Soo Yeon”
“Hm.”
“What is that black thing?”
“How mean, Pancake, Pancake.”
“Wow, as black as a car wheel.”
“Say that and you'll be beautiful.”
“You are already beautiful, you know that.”
“Ee, narcissistic.”
“Who said it was Suyeon who was infatuated with Yul?”
“Shit, dare I say it.”
“This is Yul.”
“Hm.”
“Is it the hand that picked up those pancakes just now?” His voice sounded a little fierce, causing the other person to stumble in response. “Ah... oh... yes, oh!”
At the end of the answer, a thin hand twisted into the tall figure's waist with full force until the person who had been attacked cried out loudly. In addition, some of them exerted force and pushed Yuri back until he was pressed against the sofa before following him and straddling him in a rather precarious position. A pair of beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and her lips pursed slightly, raising her index finger to point at the other person's face earnestly.
“Then how can you touch my face?!! Pimples will appear all over your face and you won't be beautiful. Yul will definitely die!”
“Eh, you're not beautiful anymore? It's better,” Yuri replied, laughing softly, causing the other person above to pinch it again in the same place, causing him to moan pitifully, “Sooyeon, it hurts.”
“Pinch it and it hurts. Why? Are you happy if I'm not beautiful? If you're not pretty, you'll run away and find someone else, right?!” Suyeon said in such a loud voice that Yuri wanted to laugh but had to hold it back. Because the woman's expression and eyes were so frightening that he didn't dare.
...I'm not even a fan yet. Still this fierce...
“Who is going to abandon my Suyeon? Just saying that it's not beautiful is fine. So that no one will be lost. Just like this, every patient in the entire hospital is only looking for Nurse Soo Yeon. I'm so jealous I'm tired."
“What?” Some of them furrowed their brows as they thought about whether they were deaf or not. The other person is saying he's jealous of you?
But instead, the tall figure repeated it to Sooyeon to assure her that what she had heard was not wrong. Instead, he raised his head slightly above the floor of the sofa and pressed the other person's head down. Until their lips touched each other Even from the first minute, some people were quite shocked by the actions of another person throughout the three months. In the past, he didn't even do anything more than holding hands with her or just kissing her on the cheek.
But this time he kissed her!?
A pair of beautiful eyes slowly closed and responded to the touch wholeheartedly. And it was a long time before Yuri was the one who slowly parted his lips with regret. Yuri looked at the other person's red face while her own was equally hot.
“Sooyeon,” the long man said softly, lightly touching the lips of the person lying on top of him with his fingertips. Before saying the sentence that some of us had been waiting all this time for the listener to feel heat at the corners of their eyes.
"I love you"
Sooyeon didn't answer but buried her face in the other man's shoulder. Yuri then raised his hand and gently stroked his hair and continued speaking. “Sorry for making you wait so long.”
The tall man with his face buried in his shoulder shook his head lightly while Yuri raised his head to look slightly and smiled slightly. before drawing his arms around him to tighten his arms around another person
“Thank you for waiting all this time. No need to wait, Suyeon... From now on I will tell you I love you until you are bored.”
Suyeon pushed the other man's shoulder away slightly to look up into the sharp eyes of the person who spoke, smiling as her eyes started to turn red... I didn't cry because I was sad in any way. But I'm so happy that I don't know how to express it other than tears.
“You don't have to tell each other you love each other every day,” Suyeon said softly as Yuri clearly heard. “Just being together and not leaving each other is enough.”
Yuri hugged the other man tighter than before.
“Thank you, Sooyeon... Thank you for loving me.”
The end
TBC
It's over, it's the end.
(If it ends like this, will someone come and kill me?)
At the end, it cut off a little too quickly.
Let's wait for part 3.
Because part three will reveal that
Why did Sooyeon know Yul before?
While Yulman doesn't know Suyeon??
And then I will show you (Speak clearly)
During the 3 months that were cut?
