Chemistry

Day 10

When things are piled up and I don't want to do them. I'd rather go the next day after work.

As soon as Jungwoo opened his eyes, he was surprised by the pile of documents he encountered and raised his torso. The morning sun was rising inside the office.

"Why am I falling asleep at work? ’

A neat summary on the desk shows a report detailing the follow-up to the AU project. The warden's signature was clean.

Ducky.

“How do you think I've been sitting there surprised for four days? ”

Song Bo-young inside put a hot cup of coffee in front of Jungwoo. Jungwoo, who was embarrassed by this situation, opened his mouth.

“Oh…. ”

“Today is November 10th, and Mr. Jungwoo is out of his mind because of the side effects of the BG series. ”

“Eh……. ”

“It doesn't matter how I know it, just know that I'm doing the same briefing for the fourth time. Look at cell phone footage and notebook records for details. ”

I didn't even start asking questions, but I was amazed at Song Bo-young who answered me first as if she was reading.

“I'll be outside, so page me when you're familiar. I have to keep working on it. ”

Jungwoo, who was looking at the back of Song Young-young, who had broken and disappeared, turned on the video letter stored on his mobile phone.

The shock was only once. Upon confirming that the work focused on analyzing 'BG-7’ continued over the past 3 days, Jung looked at the specific factors that he defined as the cause until yesterday.

‘It is a factor that prevents being remembered. Now we're at 50%. ’

As I stepped out of the office, Fluffy, sitting in front of the protein incubator, noticed.

“Bo-young. Did you take the job as research secretary? Oh, did you ask me that question yesterday? ”

“I fell in love with Jungwoo. If I'd known it was gonna be this hard, I'd have just closed my eyes and gone to Germany. ”

“Don't think of taking ‘BG-7’ to erase it because it's painful. ”

“Funny.”

You see a protein polymer dripping red between the mineral liquids that the boggle air bubbles are passing through.

"Once that's done, you'll have your memory back, right?" ’

In collaboration with Song Bo-young, the results seemed to be quite good.

Day 12

“67% removed. ”

Song Bo-young did not leave in front of the incubator overnight and bowed her head to Song Bo-young for improving the removal efficiency.

“I'm sorry, sunbae. I'll see you during the day, so go get some rest. ”

“I appreciate the consideration, but I have a meeting with the petrochemical company at 11: 00. ”

“Are you going to assist me in my meeting? ”

“No, you. ”

If you leave, no one will be watching you. Jung scratched his chin and pulled the corporate card out of his arms.

“As much as you want……. ”

“Yesterday's trick. ”

“Where is the kind Bo-young who just laughed at a light joke? Am I remembering something wrong? ”

“What I said two days ago. ”

The same pattern of behavior on the fifth day, so consolation doesn't work.

Jungwoo sighed and retreated, leaving his corporate card on the table.

Day 14

Jung, who carefully watched the red gummy bears removed with 99% of the disturbance factor, repeatedly checked to see if there was anything disturbing the memory.

‘No, this is perfect. ’

If left in the incubator until evening, 100% improved ‘BG-7’ will be generated.

“Well done, sunbae. ”

Song Bo-young, who was already lying on the chair, fainted a long time ago and began to live as a dream country.

I'm glad everyone didn't show up for work. If you look at that, you'll shake your head.

Jungwoo takes off his robe and covers her back.

‘If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done it so fast. ’

Obviously, you're not the only one doing research.

During the manipulation of the incubator, the door opens and the water differential enters.

“Good morning……. ”

“Shh.”

As Jungwoo put his finger on his mouth, Cha Seo stood still.

“Are you working late again? What a study you've been working so hard on. ”

“We're dealing with new materials that are not clearly defined yet. ”

The dimensionalist who was watching the test tube whirring with a red protein mass said.

“We have a list of representatives from chemical companies who will be attending the presidential conference at Cheongwa University. ”

“Is that so?"

“From 1st to 20th in the country. KG chemistry was confirmed to be attended by Chief Jungwoo. ”

“I don't know if you took away the opportunity I gave you. ”

“What do you mean. This seat itself began because of Senior Manager Jungwoo. Be proud.”

Cha Hyeong-soo sat in his seat, wanting to find a formal code to wear that day.

Right now, just before the visit to Cheongwa University on Friday. Success of that improved ‘BG-7’ should give us time to act.

That afternoon.

Jungwoo took a sealed container and looked for an AN hospital diagnostic laboratory. I opened the door and saw Dr. Moon working.

“You haven't seen him today, have you? ”

Dr. Moon took his eyes off the microscope and looked at Jungwoo.

“Bona really likes Jungwoo. ”

“I like it too. It's because I feel like eating in a dirty grandmother's restaurant. ”

Dr. Moone's faint smile draws her gaze toward a sealed container carried by Jungwoo.

“Is that it?"

“Yes.”

“You didn't take it lightly because you were done, and the lesson was clear. ”

While Dr. Moon received the improved ‘BG-7’ and put it into the analyzer, she was lying on a bed and had a basic body condition check.

Jungwoo opened his mouth as he watched the monitor where the EEG was being recorded.

“At first, I started with the goal of making a protein that self-degrades the powerful sleep-inducing factor of 'AF-12' mixed with my saliva. But I've been working with Bo-young for a few days.... ”

“Joint research? Does Bo-young know about this? ”

“Oh, I kept all the rules of confidentiality in the terms and conditions. ”

Jungwoo said, "Don't worry."

“There are similarities to chemistry that are closely related to both sleep and memory. Why, after studying, you have to sleep well to remember. BG-7 touched this part. ”

Dr. Moon asked, standing in front of the analyzer where the results began to come out.

“Didn't you say the suspicious have eliminated all the factors? ”

“That's right."

“Jungwoo's sleep was perfectly normal even though he doesn't remember for the past 14 days. If you take this again, your memory might come back, but your sleep cycle might be broken. ”

“We have to accept it first. We have to put out the fire first. ”

“You suffered from insomnia. ”

Jungwoo grinned.

“That's why we were introduced to sleep clinics before. I bumped into her there. I'm grateful to Dr. Moon. ”

“Do you know you're making the right face? ”

“You got it right. ”

Phoebic. The analysis is back on the monitor. The heads of the two turned at the same time.

“What do you think?”

Dr. Moon, who took the existing sample response data and analyzed the comparison, replied.

“It's theoretically possible. ”

“Yes!”

The fist-burning mouse turns to Jungwoo, and Dr. Moon calmly says.

I said, "Theory only. ”

Jungwoo, who removed the electrocardiogram sensor herself, got up from bed.

“I've got to get to the clinic. ”

“Where are you taking it? ”

“Of course, it's someone who understands and knows everything about me. I've been working hard for a few days, and I haven't been able to get back to you, and I'm getting a call. ”

Referring to the person who clicked, Dr. Moon kicks his tongue and shakes his head.

“Dr. Moon, instead of experimenting with that expressionless face every time, close your eyes and do something crazy like me. It surprisingly feels good. ”

Jungwoo, holding the sealed container, whistled out of the lab.

Dr. Moon looks at Jungwoo's missing back and shakes his head to the left and to the right.

“One mistake is enough. ”

Day 14-15

3: 00 a.m., Officetel Living Room.

Jungwoo stared blankly and was turning over the page on his laptop screen.

I pushed ahead with popular webtoons I didn't have much time for, but I was not impressed when I arrived at the climax where the comments were overwhelming.

Just before moving on, [I haven't seen this angry eye!!] stopped looking at the best comments. Jungwoo comforted the fact that if this attempt fails, you will not naturally see it.

‘I can't believe he really went away when he was so insomnia. ’

The effects of the improved ‘BG-7’ were indeed excellent. My head is heavy and helpless, but I can't sleep at all.

So, instead of a few more webtoons, I got up to the idea that I should get some caffeine and clear my head.

I carefully headed to the kitchen because I was afraid of breaking Yoon Il-yeol who slept on the couch.

I took hot water from a state-of-the-art water purifier and poured mixed coffee. You hold the mug and move to the living room window.

Tranquil nightlife. The city and the noise were also a time to fall asleep.

I've thought about things like this in the silence of dawn, where everyone has to be an emotional philosopher.

Maybe it took me a long time to look at the data that had been piled up for 14 days, but after another week, I read the video letter every morning, but I might need a few hours.

‘Fortunately, all these worries and worries will disappear at once. ’

Memories are fair.

Yoon Lee Seol, who was spun from the couch, turned his head to the window.

“What time is it, Jungwoo? ”

You point to the dark outside, where her questions are buried.

“Three o'clock. Sleep some more."

“Give me a hug. ”

Yoon Iseul stretches out her arms. Jungwoo leaves his mug on the table and approaches. On the other hand, the crouching upper body and the raised upper body gently overlap.

Yoon Il-sul, who had a happy smile, buried his face on Jungwoo's chest.

“It's warm.”

“Get some sleep, wake up in the morning. ”

“Don't go anywhere. ”

“I'm not going. ”

“You said that… and… went away…. ”

Yoon Iseol, who murmured in horror, slowly fell asleep. You tuck her back into the couch and carefully place her on her back.

Jungwoo, who was about to give a hug, gazed into her hands, clutching the edge of her clothes.

‘You seem anxious. ’

Alaska, forced abduction, Africa. It seemed to remind me of a time when I hadn't heard from a non-dreamer in a long time.

Jungwoo pulled up a shattered blanket and covered it with Yoon Lee Seol and retreated. I see a round, white forehead below her colorful living room.

"Sleeping Beauty Force. ’

Looking at her, I felt that the attempt to take ‘BG-7’ itself was not wrong.

Rather, it would not have relieved her of her anxiety at all if she hadn't tried.

Jungwoo walked back to the window and stopped looking at the calendar on one side of the wall. On November 1st, the heart sign was palpable.

‘I guess Mr. Lee was really looking forward to dating too. I don't even remember. I'm sorry about this.'

- So we're on for one day?

One memory that comes to mind. Last night, I felt like Yoon Yi Seul's cute lie was stuck in my ear. Then I remembered a familiar melody.

‘What was it? It looks like a new song I heard on the phone in Africa.... ’

There was nothing to do until morning in a moderate atmosphere, and Jung looked through the voice files recorded on his phone automatically at that time.

‘Yes, there is. ’

I looked for my earphones and turned on the voice file.

- No lyrics. Wait, wait, wait.

Her luscious melody, which is sent to the humming after a rattling sound, was passed through her earphones.

I felt like my heart was melting, and I had a happy smile in Jungwoo's mouth.

It was then.

"…… his story…….

One word came to mind as a echo in the melody of the lyrics.

"Huh?

This was a memory I had no memory of.

"... I just want it..."

Lyrics that match Yoon Yi Seul's melody exactly.

When did you hear that? ’

When I looked at the memory, my heart suddenly thumped and my cheeks burned.

Jungwoo's gaze was toward Yoon Lee Seul from the couch, then toward 'November 1' in the calendar.

I must have heard this lyrics that day.

Pieces of memory where the heart reacts first. It flashed all at once.

And...

The memory of the first day that had been suppressed came over Jungwoo like a wave.

Day 1, Remember

“Wait, leave a picture. ”

Yoon Yi Seol, who was sitting across from the restaurant, took a selfie measuring the angle. Jung woo painted a "V" in a passive manner.

“Aren't you filming? ”

“I'm good. ”

“You're not gonna put one in my latest phone? You look so pretty. ”

I took a selfie to make Yoon Yi Seol's face pop open.

“Wow, that looks delicious! ”

She cheers to see the food coming out. However, unlike a bright smile, he was reluctant to lift the fork.

Jungwoo asked as if passing by.

“It's hard to record, isn't it? You look tired.”

“Not at all! I can stay with Jungwoo all night. What about Jungwoo?”

“So am I. ”

“Then stay with me until tomorrow! ”

“Hey, Yoon Yi Seol. It's Wednesday, and I have to go to work tomorrow. ”

She shakes her head as if she can't hear you. She chews hard by dipping a steak that is more fragmented than Jungwoo.

Is it because I've seen a lot of energy? Today, I felt like I was forcefully squeezing out my strength.

“Why do you keep looking? ”

I shook my head that it wasn't the question of Yoon Lee Seul.

I stopped talking for a while while while eating. She chewed the steak and suddenly ‘whoosh’ and covered her mouth.

“Is it bad in Mr. Lee Seol? ”

“No.”

“Don't overdo it. ”

“Oh, dear! It's not too much. It was hard because the songs weren't written, but if you feel soft, it will be solved quickly. ”

He didn't lie to you. A few more times, she grits the food, and drops the fork and knife on her chest.

“I just rescheduled that meeting so I can cut back a lot of time. So if you're not feeling well.... ”

“I love it!”

“Yes, I like Mr. Lee Seol. ”

“Don't take it seriously. ”

She lowers her fork, slamming the table, and tries to shoot Jungwoo.

“Yesterday, Lee hyun forcefully fed the pizza and just pretended. Jungwoo really doesn't need to worry so much. ”

I don't want to show how stressed out I am by music work, so I tried to gain weight in one day and failed. A smile burst out as I watched Yoon Iseol pour it out.

“You should have told me. ”

“The atmosphere is ruined. ”

“You're so much more like Mr. Lee Seul. ”

“I don't like it. ”

Jungwoo got up right where he was.

“This wasn't the time. Let's go.”

“Where?”

In front of the pharmacy.

When Jungwoo gave me the extinguishing agent and vital water, Yoon Iseol, who protruded from his mouth, caught it.

“We're screwed. We're all screwed. I've never been on a beautiful day like this. ”

“Yes, go ahead and inhale. ”

I entered the quiet street lamp path with Yoon Lee Seol who took the medicine.

“Walking helps with digestion. ”

“Never mind.”

After a long date, Yoon Yi-sun, who was displeased by the ruin, calmed down and headed to the street where her officetel was located.

“New songs. Are you still stuck in that melody you told me about? ”

“Jungwoo hung up on me, so I got stuck. ”

“How do I get through? ”

Jungwoo, pretending to look elsewhere, bowed his head and gave a surprise kiss on Yoon Yi Seul's lips. Twitching, frowning snow. But soon I closed my eyes.

After a short but deep kiss, Yoon Lee Seol asked.

“What's the matter? Are you gonna put me to bed now? ”

“No.”

“Then……. ”

“It worked. You're not going to fall asleep kissing me anymore. ”

“Really?"

Jungwoo nods.

“That's why I wanted to see you today. You're home. As I said before, I have a lot of time now.... ”

Yoon Iseol caught Jungwoo's hand preparing to go.

“Don't go. ”

“Mr. Lee Seol. ”

“If you just go, I'll cry right here. ”

In Yoon Yi Seul's house.

However, Jung entered a disoriented space with a musical score, and as soon as he took off his jacket, Jung stopped his sudden movements.

“Weren't you arrested for help? ”

“This is what helps. Filling in the soft emotions. ”

“You're not selfish, are you? ”

“So many! Nothing.”

I gently clapped her back, rubbing her cheeks, and a slightly heavier voice flowed out.

“I wrote this song thinking about Jungwoo. ”

“Oh, it's an honor. ”

“But... I keep getting this sad picture of hooks. ”

This must be why the work was delayed.

“Jungwoo inside me is lonely and shouldn't be lonely. ”

Jung calmly said, because his voice was wet.

“Why? I think it would be great. ”

“Why?”

“It's autumn, and even a blunt man can get sentimental. The melody I heard on the phone last time felt a little sensitive. I just shrugged my shoulders because the protagonist was me. ”

Yoon Lee Seol in his arms lifted his head and looked at Jungwoo.

“Even when you're sad?”

“Sad, but I think I'll be very happy just to get wet in the atmosphere. Feel more alone if you want to. ”

Yoon Lee Seol's eyes flashed as if something was flashing. I looked quietly at her gaze as if I was looking at myself but only at the melody of another world.

It took me five minutes to hold her like that.

“Wait! ”

She leaps into the Huddak room and comes out with a guitar in her hand.

“Listen and tell me. ”

Sitting side-by-side on the couch, Yoon Yi Seol started playing.

Jeonju's melody from the other line bounced with his white and sweet hands dug the ears of the brow and indulged in the dark aroma of autumn.

“Let's talk about him from now on.”

And the lyrics started. A story came out that may have been improvised or written already.

A wizard with eyes and sparks.

I rescued Sleeping Beauty and took her to the play.

I can't cook, but I know the taste.

What else? I just don't know.

The lyrics were metaphorical from the first meeting of the Sleep Clinic and the Town Day.

Deep down, the calm, inhaling sound immerses you in the shovel of her color.

I hurt the princess in the City of Water.

The Wizard told me.

You don't know who I am.

The guitar accompaniment suddenly changed, and Jungwoo's heart sank.

Idiot.

She doesn't need a superhero.

A fairy tale.

We don't need a salvation like a movie.

Just enough to give you a shoulder to lean on.

Is there a singer in the world who conveys as much sincere emotion as she does in one song?

Open your eyes in the morning.

You can kiss before closing your eyes in the evening.

Princess.

I just want it.

That's all I want.

A confession of sincerity that I didn't like him because he was a competent person. The quiet songs swept through Jungwoo's chest like a storm.

“I just want... that. ”

I met Yoon Yitheul who put the last verse in his mouth. I could see the tears in her eyes, drawn to the song.

After the guitar stopped playing, I couldn't speak for a while. Why the song is sad. It was because of himself that put her confession on hold 10 months later.

You don't know who I am.

He seemed to run away from the fear that if his abilities disappeared, an unpredictable chaos might come.

But what about her?

It is straight forward, not shaken at all.

The song, "Made Thinking of Yourself," penetrated the nature of the problem that the chemist who learned about the molecular world was constantly struggling with.

It was an emotional insight that was creepy. She lived a life where everything was music, and she was already a complete genius.

“Look at me. You're too immersed. How was the song?”

The answer is so simple, but why have you wandered so far? There was only one thing a wizard who realized the truth had to do.

“It's nice, but I can't. So sad.”

I lifted my head with tears in my eyes. As I approached, Jungwoo wiped the clear drops that were pouring down her cheeks with his hands.

“Want to go out? Starting today. ”

“What... are you kidding me? ”

“Forget the idiot in the song. Let's buy it, us. One day from today. ”

“Lies.”

“It's true. I don't have anything more to fall for, and he's crushing on me again. ”

Suddenly, tears poured out of Yoon Yi Seol's eyes without rest.

“Why am I confessing on an ugly day like this? ”

“Who's ugly? The Wizard?"

“I don't know!”

Jungwoo tried to soothe Yoon Yi Seol who started to burst into tears.

“This is the prettiest day ever. ”

“I don't need it! ”

“Tell me what you want. I'll get you anything. ”

“No need……. ”

She glanced at Jungwoo with a bitter gaze.

“Good morning kiss? ”

“Of course.”

“Good night kiss? ”

“Of course.”

“If you say you miss me, will you always come running? ”

“Of course...... I'm in trouble. Well, this is going to require a little negotiation. ”

I barely stopped Yoon Yi Seol's tears. Jungwoo smiles and kisses her lips.

“Okay, bedtime's over, right? ”

“Hey, you're lying. This is a goodnight kiss. ”

“ ……. ”

Today

“…… Jungwoo. Are you okay, Jungwoo? ”

I opened my eyes in a flash to shake my body.

Sun out the window. It was much earlier than 6 a.m.

I felt like I was falling asleep to remember a vivid memory like a dream.

"You slept so well? It can't be because I'm sleepy. Did the clinic fail? ’

Jungwoo stood up on the living room floor thinking. It all reminds me of the last 15 days of my process.

I looked at Jungwoo with a look of apology.

“I fell asleep, too, so I couldn't check. You don't remember, do you? There's a video letter from Jungwoo on his phone. Look at that."

Yoon Iseol blinked her eyes after covering her mouth and making her yawn small. He did not mention it to himself even though he received a confession on the first day of his memory disappearance.

‘No.'

- It's been 1 day since yesterday...

- Good night before bed. This is really what Jungwoo and I agreed on yesterday.

She wasn't acting. He told me the truth, and he just didn't remember it.

“Ha……. ”

“Don't look so surprised. Watch the video letter first. ”

Yoon Lee Seol, who had his hand on Jungwoo's phone lying on the floor, stood next to the window and said.

“Don't worry. Everything's been fine. It was just one day since yesterday.... ”

She talks as if nothing had happened.

When I heard why I had confessed that I wanted to go out with her, I felt embarrassed because I couldn't remember.

They did not force them to remember because they knew what was in their hearts. Or, of course, to hide the ugly, puffy day that cries.

“…… okay? Especially since the kiss is almost like our salutation. ”

“Greetings? No way. ”

“Oh, I'm so used to it that when I do this, Mr. Jungwoo goes like this. Because this is exactly how you get it. ”

Slightly stick out your lips and lift your toes, side. Yun Yitheul smiled brightly with a sudden kiss.

Jungwoo shakes his head pretending to be clean.

“No, you put it at a slightly elevated angle on the horizon. He even threatened to hate me. ”

“That's it, Jungwoo was so cool that day.... ”

Yoon Lee Seol's eyes swelled enormously.

“Memory……. ”

“Yes, I'm back. ”

Jungwoo could not decide whether it was because of the improved ‘BG-7’ or because of her song ringing her heart, not her head.

‘Whatever. ’

Jungwoo asked Yoon Seul, who was unable to continue the conversation properly.

“Aren't we the 15th today? ”

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Yoon Lee Seol's head moved up and down.

“Good morning, Mr. Lee Seol. ”

Jungwoo touches her chin and starts the good morning kiss she promised.

Fifteen days of the same memory.

In retrospect of Yoon Yi Seul and himself, it was also a day when every day was exciting, such as‘ from today onwards'.

The smooth sensation of my lips reminded me of the joyous memories of Gapyeong.

It seemed like I knew Jungwoo. Kissing is also an important means of conveying unrequited emotions to others.

A proud, plentiful palpitation boiled in my heart.

This is the reaction of love. It was the only chemistry that could explain it.
