Items piled up in the bag. Yunju, who packed all the necessities and clothes, opened the drawer. As she surveyed what to take, Yunju’s hand stopped at the bottom of the drawer.
Something was visible underneath the stack of books. Yunju pulled out a square box placed at the very bottom.
Inside the box were items Yunju had brought from Seoul. Among them, Yunju’s gaze lingered on the phone she used before coming here.
Recalling Haeyeong’s words, Yunju picked up the phone.
“…”
Questions and hesitation arose as her hand touched the phone.
He… went through a lot?
She couldn’t fathom how much he went through. The idea that Jinwook struggled because of her was incomprehensible.
The Jinwook she knew was not so fragile as to break because of her, and he was a man who didn’t have time to be like that.
Yunju stared at the phone, then slowly moved her hand toward the power button.

Since leaving home, she had never turned on the phone. As she pressed the power button, the dark phone screen began to brighten.
Yunju had no call records since the phone was turned off. However, the text message inbox was filled with messages that had accumulated during this time.
Yunju looked at the messages that arrived around the time she left home.
[Where are you right now?]It was a message from Jinwook. Probably when Minhee noticed her disappearance and informed him.
[I can’t get through on the phone. Please contact me.] [I’m on my way to Korea now. Please contact me as soon as you read this.]Though a short message, a sense of urgency was felt. He seemed quite surprised and perplexed about her disappearance.
Yunju continued to read messages that arrived after that day. All of them were also sent by Jinwook.
[Where are you right now?]ads
As she read through the piled messages one by one, Yunju’s pupils shook more violently.
[It’s already been a month. Everyone is waiting.] [Where are you, Yunju?] [I won’t get angry. I won’t ask anything. Just come back.]As time passed, the tone of the messages became increasingly desperate. Those longing messages continued endlessly.
[Where on earth are you?] [I can’t do anything without you.]Yunju’s gaze lingered on the last message she received.

The longing conveyed in the message touched Yunju’s heart deeply.
Tears welled up, and she couldn’t read the messages any longer. Droplets of water fell onto the phone screen.
Jinwook had sent messages to her every day without fail.
He longed for her and searched for her every single day.
The pain in her chest was unbearable. Her heart vibrated with heat, and pain surged.
He suffered and struggled for her like this.
For him to be like this because of her…
The moment Yunju’s eyes became moist.

“Drip, drip…”
The sound of raindrops hitting her ear made Yunju look out of the window.
After a long pause during the day, the raindrops that had stopped began to fall again.
Yunju checked the time. It was already past 10 p.m.
‘I’ll wait.’
‘Until you come.’
Jinwook’s words from the phone call lingered in her ears.
The night tour started at 7 p.m. Three hours had passed since the appointed time.
Surely, he wouldn’t have stayed until now…
Yunju, with a dark expression, looked out of the window. Seeing the raindrops intensifying, it seemed like it wouldn’t stop soon.
“…”
Yunju, who had been staring out the window, finally stood up from her seat. She grabbed her coat and headed straight outside.

Yunju got out of the taxi and opened her umbrella. In the distance, the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, bathed in lights, came into view. The fountain nearby was the meeting place for the night tour.
As soon as she got out, she glanced around, but there were hardly any people in sight. Considering the late hour and the rain, it was natural that there were few people.
There was no way Jinwook had stayed until now. There was even a chance he hadn’t come here in the first place. However, Yunju walked through the rain towards the fountain.
As Yunju approached the fountain step by step, her heart pounded fiercely. In hopeful anticipation, her steps quickened.
As she got closer to the fountain, adorned with a beautiful statue, the crimson lights flowed with the water. The moment Yunju approached the light, her steps came to a halt.
In the landscape painted with raindrops, a familiar silhouette entered her gaze.
Graceful features, sharply defined shoulders, and long limbs were clearly visible even in the rain.
The person who hadn’t forgotten her for a single day in the past three months.
The person who came here, leaving everything behind, to find her.
Jinwook was standing there.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
