Bab 104

1. "..." 2. "...are you saying you want to break up?"

1. "Haha..."

1. "I don't know if "Break up" is the right word for it..." 2. "We've never been in a proper relation..." 3. "Pah doyeon."

1. "I'm just... Tired." 2. "...I'm exhausted." 3. "So..."

1. "So I just want to...stop." 2. "Why are you suddenly saying this?!" 3. "...!"

1. "Alright, fine... A lot has happened recently." 2. "But we pushed through it all together..." 3. "Didn't we?"

1. "Isn't that why we're here?"

1. "Isn't there a reason..." 2. "...the two of us are here together?!"

1. "You know..." 2. "I was so happy when you said you loved me." 3. "Because I"

1. Spent so long waiting to hear those three words from you. 2. I thought if I heard them from you, everything would work out somehow.

1. "But turns out "I love you" doesn't fix anything."

1. "Now I get it, jin joo." 2. "The harsh truth of reality."

1. "We were doomed from the start... This relationship was built on such shaky..."

1. "Built on such shaky foundations." 2. "I said it before... I forced my feelings on you, and you took advantage of that."

1. "All the jealousy, possessiveness, manipulation, and blind pleasure..." 2. "It was never really about chanyang, or the debt collectors."

1. "The real issue is us."

1. "We latched on to each other because we were lonely. How could that ever be love?"

1. "We met at the worst possible time, when we were both at rock bottom. That's who we are."

1. "I mean, isn't love supposed to be something uplifting and beautiful?" 2. "But what did we have?" 3. "All we ever"

1. "Did was hurt each other, then slap on a band-aid, over and over again." 2. "..." 3. "Jin joo, this is..."

1. "We're..."

1. "...a mistake."

1. "I think from the very beginning, everything was a mistake."

1. "...how could you say that?"

1. "Is...is it because I hurt you?" 2. "Because I came to my senses about how I feel for you too late?"

1. "...I was scared!" 2. "You were becoming more and more important to me, but everyone"

1. I'd ever met had disappointed me! 2. I couldn't stand the thought of us becoming like that again.

1. "That as well!"

1. "...but I'm telling you now. I want to be brave..." 2. "I almost lost you once. I don't ever want to experience that again!"

1. "Please, doyeon..."

1. "...don't give up on us!"

1. "Doyeon...I..."

1. "You're right, jin joo."

1. "Look at us now."

1. "Love is disappointing."

1. "..."

1. "That place you got for me. When is the move-in date?"

1. "Is it after you get the deposit back from this apartment?" 2. "...no, my parents already took care of it."

1. "I can just pay them back after I move out of here and get the deposit back." 2. "Where will you be staying?"

1. "Don't worry." 2. "The deposit for this place was pretty high, so I was able to sign leases for two studios." 3. "And I saved up a good amount from my part-time job, so."

1. I didn't expect to use it on this though...

1. "..." 2. "Three months..." 3. "No. I'll only be a burden for six months."

1. "It's just like you said." 2. "The unit at 807's already gone, so I'm pretty much homeless now."

1. "But I don't want to borrow such a great deal of money from you." 3. "I don't need a place that requires a hefty lump-sum deposit."

1. "Just give me some time. After six months, I'll find somewhere with monthly rent." 2. "...I've taken care of it already, jin joo." 3. "The contract's all settled, so you've got about"

1. "You've got about four years covered..." 2. "Then can't"

1. "Then can't you just move in after six months?!" 2. "What, were you thinking you'd leave me a nice place that requires a hefty deposit while you go live in some tiny studio?"

1. "Honestly, giving up this apartment was a dumb move from the start!" 2. "If I'd known sooner...!"

1. "...haa." 2. "Since I have a..."

1. "Once I have a job, I'll pay you back as soon as I can." 2. "I'm sorry, but it won't be quick." 3. "...jin joo."

1. "This is your way of saying we're nothing more than strangers now, isn't it?" 2. "Then I need to draw the line too. I can't keep being in your debt."
