"Because I have to go straight to the agency, so I'll leave you two here" said Junghwa who had just arrived at my house with Hyunwo. "All right," Hyunwo said. "You don't want to eat first?" my many. "I'm sorry, noona. I'm in a hurry. I just drove Hyunwo hyung here. I'll stop by later. I promise!" junghwa answered with a full mouth after his hand took the time to bribe a spoonful of spaghetti of mine. "Alright, but eat when you're hungry. Don't get crazy about work and forget to eat!" I said while watching him. "Yes, dear noona. You two have fun. I'm leaving first" he said as he ran straight to his car.
After the tall young man's back disappeared behind my door, I turned to look at Hyunwo who was still standing in front of me. Hyunwo suddenly lowered his head politely, "Once again I will introduce myself. My name is Jung Hyunwo. From today on, I will escort you every day. Junghwa said, let's just say, I'm replacing him to accompany you. Because I'm a positive and non-negative person, so you'll enjoy it with me" she said, ending with a warm smile. "What does oppa do? Like we don't know each other!" I said. "Who knows you've forgotten me?" kanda Hyunwo, while switching sits in front of me. I smiled slightly, "How can I forget a jolly, humble and warm friend?" I said.
"By the way, speaking of oppa's work, how old is oppa now?" manya curious. Hyunwo narrowed his eyes, "Do you not know, asking about that age is something rude?" tanyakanya. "Ah, sorry. It's just, I'm sure, oppa is too young to be a bodyguard" I replied. "Yes, and that's one of the reasons I was chosen to escort Junghwa, because I was the youngest of them," Hyunwo replied, looking proud. "So, they hire young people? How much salary do they give? If I could know!" sahutku. Hyunwo smiled slightly, "If for that, you don't need to know because it's all about me and young master Junghwa" he replied.
I sneered, "Ck, you seem to respect that baby!" my spoken. "Because his grandfather was like my parents. I just want to give my heart meaning that this is my way of returning the favor" Hyunwo replied, optimistically. "Well, it seems, oppa is really a positive person, yes!" sahutku seraya. "This is me who will be your bodyguard!" reply without hesitation. I smiled at him, "Oppa is wrong, I don't need a bodyguard!" I said. Hyunwo looked at me, confused. "But, I also need oppa's help." I continued hesitantly. "Help? If there's a part I can do, just say it!" hyunwo. For a moment, I hesitated to speak. "Why are you silent? Just say it, no need to hesitate!" pinta Hyunwo's.
"Asal oppa knows, ever since Yongju oppa became a trainee and left home, I started to learn to live independently without him, even though I was lonely. And after his death, I really felt alone and more and more lonely. I was traumatized by my failure with Daehyun and my psychic was completely shaken by the loss of Yongju oppa. However, thanks to Junghwa's existence, I slowly began to accept my loneliness. That kid's made me feel free lately. There's not much I have to pay attention to and I think about it like when Yongju oppa was around. Nor does anyone tell me what to do as Daehyun often does" I tell her.
I smiled bitterly, "But sometimes, when Junghwa was not around, when I was alone, I remembered all that again, about the two of them. At times like that, I want someone to hold me and make me not have time to remember it, like Junghwa did. Like Junghwa who gave me his warmth. Like Junghwa who can help me get excited every day. Like Junghwa who can help me brighten my days and take away my nightmares. Like Junghwa who can help me get me out of my trauma in building my relationships with others. That is, sometimes I want someone else to hold my hand, pick me up, pull me closer... Anyway, I guess, I need someone to be my girlfriend," I said, sure.
I fell silent as I saw Hyunwo gawking in front of me. "As I said, I don't need a bodyguard beside me. I need a boyfriend, oppa!" continued, confirmed. "Why?" asked Hyunwo who still did not understand. "The main reason, is because I really want to forget Daehyun and Yongju oppa. I don't want to fall again. Hence, I tried switching to another heart. But I don't know who to start with. No, I'm afraid to start with someone I don't know! So, oppa doesn't need to be my protective power. I just hope that oppa can be someone who is there to accompany my dark days, like the light. I just want oppa to be my girlfriend!" continued, really.
Without me hearing, someone replied to her by, "Just do what she asks, but remember your duty is only to help her forget about Daehyun. Don't fuck behind my back!" Hyunwo immediately spoke loudly, "Hey, are you serious? I just found out that you two are really weird! Why did you let me be her boyfriend? Give me the reason!" In fact, I could hear his voice clearly. "Don't ask too many questions and just do it!" tell the guy across there before the call is switched off.
A few moments later, Hyunwo came back to me and said, "Let me be clear again. So, I'm gonna be your pretended girlfriend and this is a heartless relationship?" Hearing him say such straightforwardly with a serious face, I suddenly felt ashamed of myself. "It's ridiculous!" I said, just awakened. "Yes?" hyunwo said with his frowning. "It's nothing. I just suddenly felt that this request of mine was truly ridiculous! Never mind, oppa, forget all I said! No need to answer! Don't feel burdened. Oppa doesn't have to comfort me by following my silly request," I said, unsavory. "i'm serious. I will help you sincerely," Hyunwo said solemnly. "But instead of that, I'd rather be your trial boyfriend because I don't like to pretend. I like to be myself" he continued innocently.
"I understand your wish. I'll be your girlfriend. That way, I can still escort you, right? So, just relax," Hyunwo said again with a sincere smile. "Casual?" kataku doubt. "Yes, just relax. Isn't this just a way to help you forget about Daehyun and Yongju hyung? Think of it as therapy. After all, you're not looking for someone for your future," she said, slightly teasing me with her last sentence. "But all that doesn't rule out the possibility, does it? If oppa can make me fall in love with you later, I will love oppa until the end, be my real girlfriend" I said with a chuck. Even Hyunwo himself was surprised to hear it.
"Is that so? Alright, if the time comes like that, then I will be here to escort you for the rest of my life. But for now, I just want to help you forget the past" she said, smiling very warmly at me. Hyunwo took the fizzy drink I served him. "I, Jeon Hyunwo, want to be your bodyguard or your trial girlfriend, I'll make sure your peace. And I swear I'll treat you well" he said, taking a knight's oath. I chuckled, then did the same, raising my glass. "Let's do it together. Cheer!" my spoken. We both smiled happily and continued our conversation.
However, on the sidelines of the joke that Hyunwo made, he sent a message to someone. "I agree to it, as you ordered. Now you know that. Let me see your reaction. There is no point in continuing to make distance. Wherever you go, everything will take you back to a place called home. Remember, where you came from!" her type. Without me knowing, somewhere, there was a man muttering alone in his room. "You want my excuse?" muttered. "Because the two of them haven't realized that they're always getting love. Let them know what happens if they lose each other. I just... helped my way." he continued, staring out there, at the rain as if it was cleaning up all that was left in his heart.
