——————————

[ Kim Nahee was happy that she was alone at home. It's time to check the USB.

She inserted the card reader into her phone's USB port. The device memory option came out automatically as soon as the phone accepted the USB.

She clicked the USB option from the 'local storage' and found a lone audio displayed on the screen. She took a pair of earpieces and inserted the plug into the port too before finally clicking the audio.

It had a static noise at first. She figured that was the sound of the wind or the device was moved.

Not long after that, she heard a familiar voice. ]

Hey, Nahee...

I'm guessing you are surprised that you got something from me.

After the harsh lies I told you, it must be hard for you to accept a thing from me.

But, it would be a surprise from me too, if you accepted and listening to my voice right now.

These words that I'm going to say are coming from the bottom of my heart.

I'm sorry that I hurt you.

I'm sorry that...

I'm sorry that those things I told you are hurting you.

I know how bad you are affected.

I am never get tired of you, Nahee.

I have always wanted to be with you.

I always wanted to be with you every single day.

I always think of you.

When you confessed on our two hundred and seventy-five days, I was shocked.
I kept denying. I didn't want believe you.

But when I see you crying and leaving me that night, that was when I knew you're telling the truth.

I was scared, Nahee.

[ sniff ]

I don't mean to hurt you...
I am trying to avoid the feeling that I have for you.

[ sigh, sniff ]

I am unlucky when it comes to love.

Family or a lover...

I have totally given up on this.
I can't fall for someone deep or else, two parties will get hurt.

It's okay if I get hurt alone but...

I don't want the same thing to happen to you.

I chose to leave you because I do love you, Nahee...

I love you, I want to return that feeling, I want to love you and I want to give us a chance but...

I am afraid my unfortunate luck would rub on you.

[ chuckle ]

[ gulp, sniff ]

I will miss you, you know.

I will miss teasing you, joking around with you, having your hug and having you in my arms, and listening to your voice talking to me.

I will miss singing to you too. I will miss hearing you laugh at my joke.

I will miss everything we do together...

After that hurtful thing I said at you,
are you going to miss me too?

That day in Busan...

That day, I kissed you.

[ Nahee's eyes widened as pink tint appeared on both of her cheeks. ]

You must be surprised.

Well, I can't forget you kissed me back.

It was unexpected and I didn't plan that at first...

I only planned... to make us look like we're kissing and get that captured by my private investigator or whatever he is now, but,

I...

Nevermind, forget it.

[ sigh ]

[ He whispered and it seemed that he didn't know it was caught and recorded. ]
Why is the room so hot?

Jimin hyung might have told you that I leave Korea...

I don't think I will return.

Don't wait for me.

Live happily...

[ Nahee was in tears. "You dummy. How am I going to live happily after you give me this?!" ]

I'm sorry that I made empty promises with you.

I'm sorry that I...

[ sigh ]

I mistaken you as GaEun before.

I'm sorry that I forced you to sign the termination paper.
I scare you, didn't I?

Hey, Kim Nahee

Are you salty right now?

[ The mentioned girl was dumbfounded. "He still can ask me that. You dummy, seriously..." ]

[ chuckle, sniff ]

Bye, Nahee...

Take care

I love you...

[ Record ended. ]

[ Kim Nahee couldn't stop crying. The sobs that she had been trying to endure while listening to him apologize and confessing, were released eventually.

"You are really an idiot, Jeon Jungkook. Why do you choose to leave me when we can give us a chance? Why do you believe that you have a bad luck? You are an idiot, Jungkook-ah! You are sorry that you hurted me, but why do you hurt me again?"

Although they started as a contracted couple, Jungkook was Nahee's first love and Nahee was Jungkook's memorable contracted girlfriend, whom he wished he could stay until the end (in real life). ]
