Chapter 389 – Episode 389 Side Story Na-Young Returns
While she was deep in thought, thinking of ways and plans to make money on the weekend, Nayoung was very happy when she received a text message saying the request was completed.
She went straight to her office with her money, paid her in full, and then spent all her time planning to make a lot of her money again.
After the weekend, which felt so short, weekdays came again.
As expected, the bully who was in another class did not come to school, saying that he had suddenly transferred to another school for some reason.
She was sure that she was probably in a hospital somewhere else by now.
If it had happened, she would have been told that she was a eunuch and that she had been disabled for the rest of her life, losing the use of some of her arms and legs.
Nayoung didn’t even feel any guilt.
Because it was a big mistake in itself to touch her Jihoon in the first place.
“I, Nayoung…!”
Jihoon, who was running on the playground with Nayoung, called out to Nayoung, panting as if he was already going to collapse from exhaustion.
She looked like a cute little puppy chasing after her owner.
“Huh!”
Nayoung, smiling brightly with a very pure and happy expression, unlike a girl who completely destroyed a family and a person’s life, answered while looking at Jihoon.
“Hehe! Hehe…! Hee, it’s hard, but… Joe, let’s rest for a bit…!”
“I’ve only run for 10 minutes! At least 15 minutes! Let’s run for 5 more minutes!”
“Ugh…!”
Jihoon was like that.
He said that if she could still talk, she could run more, and if she really couldn’t run, she would have already collapsed and just gasped without saying a word.
Therefore, Na-young was convinced that the current Ji-hoon could run better, and when she suggested that he keep running, Ji-hoon ran as if there was nothing he could do.
Soon 5 minutes passed.
With the words “It’s time,” Jihoon’s body collapsed in an instant and rolled around on the floor the day after tomorrow.
“You worked hard, Jihoon.”
“Huh…! Hah…!”
Despite Nayoung’s words, Jihoon can’t bear to say anything and just speaks with his eyes.
No matter how much you love Jihoon and know a lot about him, it’s difficult to know what he wants to say just by looking at his eyes.
Still, sometimes I can guess, but I’m not sure right now.
Resentment for behaving like this? Or fear? I don’t know, but it’s probably not negative.
In any case, it is beneficial to you.
Nayoung gently lowered her buttocks next to Jihoon, who was lying down with a body that looked like he couldn’t get up.
“From now on, you just have to do this every day. Every day. Don’t worry, we’ll do it together!”
“…”
It won’t be easy, but if Na-young perseveres and follows along, she will definitely be able to regain the image of Ji-hoon she knows so well.
So let’s cheer up! Jihoon cheered by clenching his cute fists, but Jihoon gently avoided eye contact.
“Ah…! Just in case, don’t try to run away. If you do that, I’ll get upset.”
This time I knew for sure.
That he was trying to run away with the lie that there was another reason why he couldn’t run away.
“Oh, no…”
Ji-hoon was stung by Na-young’s words of preventing that from happening by hitting the player first, so his body trembled and he couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Hmm! That’s it then! Jihoon, let’s get together now. Let’s go too.”
“Huh…”
From a distance, the physical education teacher was gathering the children who had been given free time.
Looks like the bell will be struck soon.
So, we gathered together like the other kids, supporting Jihoon, who had no problem falling because his legs were weak, and soon we started entering the classroom when the bell rang.
*
She regressed and fell into this world alone. Nayoung would be lying if she said she wasn’t sad, but she was still like Jihoon from her childhood. She was very different from the Jihoon she knew so well, but she was still able to endure to some extent just because she had Jihoon.
But she couldn’t help being lonely.
Na-young kept thinking about Ji-hoon, who fell asleep with her every night, whispering love to her, and Na-nae and her second daughter, who were sick to her stomach, and finally, the other women who were her family, even though they were not related by blood, and she felt like she was going to cry. .
Now it has become a reality. I could have asked if we could meet again here, but there were still many problems.
That’s because she’s the only one who has memories of her future, so it’s a little different from the people she knows.
She usually thought that she would have no problem even if Jihoon was alone, but even if Jihoon was by her side, she couldn’t do anything about her loneliness.
So Nayoung kept going on dates with Jihoon whenever she had time.
“Jihoon! Shall we go here?”
Nayoung led her young boyfriend, who held her hand, and headed somewhere towards her.
“…”
The problem is that this is also where she went.
Not now, but before her return, she was where Jihoon had brought her, so at that moment, her steps stopped and she stared blankly inside her.
She wanted to overwrite these memories by being with her current Jihoon, but it didn’t work out that way for her.
No matter how hard I tried to cover it up, the memories before her return were so strong and impossible to erase.
“Nayoung?”
Ji-hoon, who felt strange seeing Na-young stop in the middle of the way before entering, asked her a question with a face full of confusion, and Na-young shook her head with an awkward smile.
“Nothing.”
Nayoung smiled brightly, leaving behind her heart that had become heavy from her sadness. She pretended like nothing was wrong and led his hand into her.
And then she played hard, trying to somehow take her mind off her sorrow.
Jihoon tried his best to play by moving around so vigorously that he was a little embarrassed.
Still, the emptiness deep in my heart still remains.
As the day slowly began to set, the two people climbed to a high place where they could see the sunset.
This time, I remembered the time I spent with Jihoon.
Additionally, as the memory of visiting this place with Naeun came back to her mind, the corners of her eyes became moist, and tears soon started flowing.
“Me, Nayoung…?”
Jihoon was quite embarrassed to see her suddenly shedding tears.
Belatedly, Nayoung realized that she had shed tears, and she smiled and wiped away her tears.
However, even though she wiped away her tears, they did not stop and continued to flow, attracting the attention of people around her.
Her rumor that Ji-hoon had made her cry was quickly debunked, and her gaze at Ji-hoon became less kind, but he didn’t care and was only looking at Na-young.
“Gwae, are you okay?”
He was anxious and didn’t know what to do with this, so he ran to the bathroom and came back after pulling out a bunch of tissues.
And then I handed it out to Nayoung again.
I guess you can use this to wipe away your tears.
I don’t need this much. At times, Jihoon seemed like a fool, but Jihoon was still Jihoon.
“Jihoon…”
Nayoung decided to tell him a story that no one would believe.
This was because it was unbecoming behavior for her to keep it to herself and suffer like this, and it was not something she could tolerate.
“You know… Actually, I…”
She revealed everything.
In fact, she is from the future, and she even says that she married him there and even has her own child.
For a moment, Jihoon looked dumbfounded, but then he made an expression of understanding.
“I see…”
“Do you believe it?”
“I have faith…”
Even though I was still a child, I knew everything.
First of all, an incredibly pretty girl like Na-young, even if it wasn’t like that at first, it wasn’t enough that she just confessed to herself, and that she looked oddly adult and had a lot of strange things about her.
Is it because it’s pure? When Nayoung began to believe that she had returned from her future for just that reason, Nayoung inadvertently burst into laughter.
“It was hard, wasn’t it?”
Ji-hoon, who could not understand her pain because he had not experienced it himself, but could at least comfort her, stretched out his hand and stroked Na-young’s cheek as she spoke.
“Yeah… It was hard…”
Fortunately, she feels lighter now that she has told everything.
Nayoung smiled happily and gently closed her eyes.
This touch was making her heart feel so at ease.
…
…
…
“It’s pretty.”
Nayoung’s body trembled at the sound of her familiar voice.
“Dad~! Mom, are you still sleeping?!”
Nayoung was moved to tears when she heard her familiar yet missed voice again.
But she had a hard time opening her eyes because it felt like it would disappear like a dream.
However, Nayoung made up her mind to see the faces she wanted to see again at least once, and when she opened her eyes, there were.
The people she loved most in the world, adult Jihoon and her daughter Nayoung, were looking at her.
“Mom. Did you cry?”
Naeun asked with a worried expression as tears formed in Nayoung’s eyes.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
Jihoon’s hand, which had been caressing her cheek, moved to steal the corner of Nayoung’s eyes.
“No…”
Nayoung shook her head with her bright smile.
“It’s not a nightmare. I don’t think it’s a good thing either.”
It seemed like a good dream as young Jihoon’s image came to mind vividly, but seeing that he did not see Jihoon and Naeun, whom he knew well, in a long timeline that was not dreamlike at all, he could accept it as a bad dream.
“It wasn’t bad though.”
Nayoung, too. Rather than going back to the past, she decided that it would be best to live like this. She smiled brightly and lay down, hugging Jihoon and Naeun’s bodies.
