Chapter 425 – Episode 425 Side Story. Lee Do-Hoon
It’s been exactly one hour.
Do-hoon got off the bed as he promised with Min-kyung.
When I got out of bed, I felt a sign of presence, and of course, the owner of that sign was the public health teacher who had been away for a while in the morning.
“Are you awake? How are you feeling?”
“I think I’m feeling better after taking a nap. Thank you.”
“What is gratitude? Listen carefully to class.”
“Yes.”
I left the health room.
Although I slept well, I was still tired because it was only an hour, but it was much better than in the morning.
He headed straight to the classroom.
As soon as he entered the noisy classroom, the girls who noticed him first came up to him with worried faces and asked if he was okay.
I didn’t feel that bad because I didn’t know that all of these things were because he was interested in me.
Instead of.
“Are you here?”
My friends.
I just don’t like the friends who hang around Jimin and Jihyun and try to talk to them.
“What were you doing?”
“I don’t know. Me too.”
When I walked straight to where they were and asked, my friends shrugged their shoulders and said they had no idea what they were doing.
I guess so.
Because I was just by Jimin and Jihyun’s side without thinking about anything.
The problem is that the two people are telling their own story.
The two of us often talked about things that were private to us that we couldn’t share with others. Now it seemed like the three of them, including Do-hoon, were talking about things they knew, not just the two of them.
Well, there’s a high probability that he’s talking about his dad.
“Hey. Do you still like that?”
“…”
I asked my friend, pointing at Jimin with a puzzled look.
My friend closed his mouth with a red face.
“Ha… I always say this. Are you a waste of money? There are many women, so why choose her?”
I truly felt sorry for my friend.
He could have met a better and prettier woman than Jimin, but it’s a pity that he’s still obsessed with the girl named Jimin.
“It’s just… Pretty.”
I’ve heard so many people say that I just look pretty for no other reason.
Is that why? I feel bad for no reason.
Reasons other than appearance.
For example, I don’t know if there is such a dramatic situation where you can’t help but fall in love, like in a movie or drama, but I don’t feel comfortable saying that I like someone simply because they are pretty.
The reason is… I don’t know.
“Just give up. I heard there’s someone he likes.”
“What…? Really…?”
My friend was astonished by the story that seemed like a lightning strike.
When Dohun asked again with a dark face as if the sky had fallen, he gently closed his eyes and nodded.
“Ah…”
I let out a short exclamation and was in despair.
She had liked him for quite some time, but he started to regret the past that he didn’t have the courage to confess to her.
Even if I had confessed before that, I would have dumped him sooner and it would have been over.
“Uh. So it’s much better to give up and look for another woman. I’m doing this for you, so just give up.”
“Ha…”
My friend began to continue sighing at the sad reality.
Well, it won’t be easy to forget love. However, there is no desire to remain tied to a love that has no chance of winning. I trusted that everything would be taken care of, and as soon as the class bell rang, I went back to my seat and took out my textbook.
And then I took a class.
*
Time passed and it was lunch.
After briefly filling his stomach, Dohun headed to the backyard.
“Are you here?”
There, a man and a woman who looked like gangsters at a glance were smoking cigarettes.
“I have one too.”
“Oh, no. It’s a mast.”
“…”
If Mastae is the reason for not giving even one cigarette, I completely understand.
Dohun immediately turned his gaze to look at the other kids.
“Just me.”
“Now~!”
At that time. A pretty girl with her skirt shortened significantly smiled and handed out a cigarette.
“Thank you.”
Dohun is not a bully.
However, he couldn’t quit smoking cigarettes that he came across by chance, so he smoked occasionally. Then he met these gangsters and naturally became friends with them.
Because he was good-looking, girls didn’t dislike him, and boys had no reason to turn him down since all of his older sisters were pretty, so it wasn’t that difficult to become friends with him.
“Whoa…”
He put a cigarette in his mouth and spit out black smoke.
This feeling fills my head.
I felt like it cleared my dizzy mind.
“Take some cigarettes with you. How long are you going to keep borrowing?”
At that time, a boy spoke harshly to Dohoon.
Well, the number of cigarettes I have borrowed so far is too many to count, so it is understandable to say such a thing.
But.
“My family is strict. I don’t know about drinking, but if you smoke, you’ll die.”
It wasn’t a joke.
My dad, who was a heavy drinker, liked alcohol, so I had less aversion to alcohol, but it was different when it came to cigarettes.
When I think about the last time I was caught with a hidden cigarette, my whole body still trembles with fear.
“Hmm… Dohun’s family hates cigarettes…? Should I quit?”
After hearing Do-hoon’s words, the girl looked seriously at the cigarette in her hand and muttered.
Even though the tip was burning red, she looked at it blankly as if it was not a waste, and then quickly closed her eyes and threw it on the ground.
“What are you doing?”
“Um… I’m going to quit starting today.”
Although she still had more than half way to go, she even stomped on it with her foot, showing her determination.
“You crazy bitch. I heard that her family hates smoking, so she’s trying to quit right away.”
Her friends giggle, naturally thinking it’s because of Dohun. I burst out laughing.
“Well… There’s that too, and I was planning on quitting from the beginning.”
She opened her mouth with a grin, acknowledging it obediently.
“What do you think? A girl like this?”
She was blatantly expressing her feelings to Dohoon.
I have no particular idea, but asking questions like that is just troubling.
Maybe it’s because we’re friends who smoke together, but I don’t want to move away from them.
How should I say it? When I was thinking for a moment.
“Arthur. You are not.”
“What? Hey…! What are you?!”
“I said no when it wasn’t, so what?”
“You bastard…!”
Instead, I was able to get through the situation smoothly thanks to another boy who stepped forward.
“Anyway, Lee Do-hoon. What happened to what you said last time?”
“Ok?”
The boy who was the leader of this gang of thugs was talking to Do-hoon for the first time today.
What are you talking about? I couldn’t remember for a moment, but then,
“Ah, ah… You mean sister?”
Chae-eun’s older sister goes to the same school, but is one year older than her, so we don’t see her often at school.
As you can guess from her name, Chae-eun’s older sister was Chae-yeon’s mother’s daughter.
Chae-eun’s older sister inherited from her mother a beautiful appearance that is on a whole different level from those of Lee Ji-min and Lee Ji-hyeon.
Because of her appearance, she almost stole the hearts of many men at school against her will, and she was one of them. Even though that bully fell for Chae-eun’s older sister, he was also firmly in love with her.
“Uh.”
He asked Do-hoon for help so that Chae-eun could be with her older sister.
Until then, Chae-eun had struggled on her own to connect with her older sister, but like all the men who had approached her older sister, Chae-eun was unable to break through her iron wall and despaired.
Just when she was about to give up, she happened to meet Do-hoon and smoked a cigarette together, becoming friends, and asked him this favor the other day.
“Hmm…”
Should I say this or not?
She said that the reason Chae-eun’s older sister had rejected all the men who approached her was because she already had someone she liked, and she was deeply worried about whether she would be okay with it even if she revealed that that person was none other than her father, whom she was related to by blood. Fell into
“Why? What’s wrong?”
At that time, the girl who had generously revealed her crush on Do-hoon asked lightly.
“That is…”
She glanced around for a moment, but then decided to tell me that she couldn’t hide much.
“She said she likes someone. She said she’s liked her for a long time.”
Aside from mentioning her father, she only told me that my sister had someone she liked.
“…”
Hearing those words, Yangachi narrowed his eyebrows.
“Really?”
A very unpleasant looking face.
In contrast, the girl’s eyes sparkled.
“Wow…! If it’s true, isn’t this the first time Do-hoon is one of your older sisters?”
Dohun was famous for having many older sisters.
Each of them was so beautiful that even the name and face of their only younger brother, Lee Do-hoon, became known.
Strangely enough, those older sisters had never dated a man.
Not only good-looking men, but even rich men often hit on her because of her beauty, but the way she dumps them without even thinking about it made some people even suspect that she might be a lesbian.
To be honest, I don’t understand why she has changed men so many times that she doesn’t look strange even when she meets several men at once, but she has been single ever since.
It was definitely like that.
“Who is it? Who is it?!”
It’s not just Jimin and Jihyun, but it’s Chaeun noona who likes him.
It was no wonder that curiosity arose.
Among the gangsters here, the ones who had a crush on Chae-eun had their faces twisted in jealousy.
It was quite funny that they were jealous even though it was a love that could not be achieved anyway due to the hierarchy that was formed knowingly or unknowingly.
“I don’t know. They just say it exists and don’t specifically tell me. It doesn’t even seem like a lie.”
She told me that it didn’t seem like it was a lie, as if it was putting a wedge in her mouth.
“Ha…Fuck…”
As if there was nothing more painful than unrequited love, even to the bullies, I carelessly threw away the remaining butts and stepped on them in frustration.
“Thanks.”
He left without saying those words.
The atmosphere suddenly deteriorated. The only girl who stayed the same suggested to Do-hoon if they wanted to go out after school today, but Do-hoon waved his hand and ran out of the cigarette-smoke-filled backyard.
After smoking a cigarette, I feel like my head is clearer.
Still, thinking about my dad, my sisters, and her younger sister only made me feel sick again for a moment.
