Chapter 325 – 325. Catfight (10)
Drop.
The phone was hung up, but Seo Ji-ah was standing there staring at her phone.
What did Hinami say that made her do that? I couldn’t quite figure it out,
Since the phone was hung up, there was only one person who could answer my questions.
“What did Hinami say?”
“… “It’s nothing.”
“It didn’t seem like it was nothing.”
It’s nothing.
Well.
I don’t think he would make that face if it was really nothing.
“Give me back my phone.”
“…”
When I brought up her words, Seo Ji Ah, who thought for a moment, surprisingly obediently returned her cell phone to me.
She checked the phone she was given and, sure enough, Hinami’s name was listed twice in the call list.
Both calls just came in.
There were no missed calls.
“Why did you lie? “You answered the phone instead.”
“I just happened to see it.”
“It’s because something happened. There was no reason to lie about something like this.”
I was genuinely wondering why she did this, so I tapped her forehead with her cell phone and spoke to her,
Seo Ji-ah brushed her bangs, lifted her tiptoes, and brought her lips to my ear.
“… “Then what about your brother-in-law?”
“What am I doing?”
“You got me pregnant, my brother-in-law. Hinami.”
“…”
Without stuttering a single word.
He told me straight about the accident I had done.
… Did Hinami blow up?
Or maybe I just read the atmosphere and figured it out.
It didn’t really matter which answer was right.
I didn’t think I could hide it from him anyway.
“Why did you do that? “You know best that this is not something you can handle.”
“… “It’s not certain yet.”
“Under. ‘Not yet.’ … So, you’re saying you’ll do it ‘someday.'”
“Well, that’s right.”
“You know that we have one year left on our contract.”
“Know. “I did it knowingly.”
“… “Are you sane?”
“No.”
In fact, there was no reason for me to make excuses or explain things to her.
Not only am I not her boyfriend, Hinami is not her girlfriend either.
It didn’t matter what the outsider said, even if I just ignored it.
However,
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
“Why. … Are you upset because you feel like you were cut in line?”
No matter where you look at her attitude, she doesn’t look like an outcast.
I don’t know if it’s Ha-eun, but why are you having a seizure?
You, Seo Ji-ah, are no one else.
“…”
She was holding her chin and was biting her lip, avoiding my eyes.
I always felt that she was much more attractive when she made that expression than when she smiled.
She looks like a child who gets angry because she doesn’t get her way.
Unlike her childish attitude, her mature appearance didn’t suit me at all, and I strangely liked it.
“If you feel bad, you can do it too. “This is a group that won’t go on without Hinami, so why not rest together during the break?”
“What is that… ! “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Why? It’s not wrong. One member has already left, and you and Hinami are supporting each other, but if Hinami says she wants to kick you out, you won’t be able to handle it alone. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to rest together?”
“What kind of mindset should I have, kid… “It says to take it and rest?”
“Why are you getting angry again now?”
“Right now, tell your sister-“
“Haeun knows too.”
“…”
My sister-in-law, who was still feeling a bit harsh, said some more spicy words, and she quickly became quiet.
Well, it would be easier for everyone if we were honest.
Why do they deny it to such an extent?
Although that is Seo Ji-ah’s charm.
There would be nothing more uncomfortable for her than denying herself.
“Well, I’m only half joking. “If you keep your mouth shut and don’t take your medicine, there’s no way for me to know.”
“…”
“I won’t force you or anything. … As long as you don’t meet another man, you can be cute and ask me to get you pregnant, or you can just quietly enjoy a secret relationship with me. Or I don’t care if you have lesbian sex with your friend. “It’s your freedom.”
“… “What if I meet another man?”
“From then on, it goes back to the old days. “The relationship between my brother-in-law and sister-in-law is not particularly good.”
“…”
“… The choice is yours. “I don’t really have any regrets.”
This annoying sister-in-law has always been a woman who can’t make choices unless I have her back.
Even though she definitely had what she wanted, it was really annoying that she hesitated every time because of her pride.
Since I’m still young, I should look at it when I’m a little older.
“If you can’t choose now, think about it slowly.”
“…”
“If you don’t like it, don’t answer. Because that too is its own answer.”
At least I didn’t have to show outwardly that I was disappointed.
Even though she wasn’t really her, she wasn’t lacking in my life.
Of course, it would be a shame if you really ran away from me.
… Anyway, I like the flavor of Seojia.
Even though she was fooled by me like this, she was the only girl who was always arrogant before she was attacked.
As a favor, I wanted you to do it until the end.
It’s not fun to keep eating very similar flavors.
**
Two weeks have passed since I was released from the dorm.
Even though she was caught up in her schedule every day, she couldn’t visit him at all after that day.
Hinami never once lost her smile in front of me.
But I couldn’t smile when the camera turned off.
She was so scared that that crazy man had grabbed her by the leash, and
… I was scared because I couldn’t think of any way or will to escape.
“Ah, today was hard too… Ehehe.”
Even though she was in the same situation as me, Hina Mi still had a lively attitude as if she was proud of her leash.
Why…, Why can you be so aloof?
It’s not something you can hide or laugh off, right?
It’s something that can never go back.
“Jia. Can I sleep at your house today? “I left something there last time, so I have to stop by.”
“… “I don’t like it.”
“Alassuh. Manager, please drop us both off in front of Jia’s house~”
“Yes.”
I couldn’t answer Kang Joo-hyuk’s question.
I couldn’t make the same choice as Hinami.
… I couldn’t choose the other option either.
Because it was very clear what it meant when I refused to do something that he could do.
After that day, I couldn’t go downstairs.
The moment you visit,
Something had to be chosen.
Unlike Hinami, who was sleeping comfortably in the cozy backseat, I couldn’t close my eyes.
The moment I got into the elevator with Hinami, the floor I got off on was fixed.
I didn’t want to choose.
I didn’t want to give up what I had built so far.
But…
I didn’t want to be abandoned either.
Because it was nothing,
I didn’t want to end up in a relationship where I was used for a while and then abandoned.
“We’re all here. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Yes? Haam… Okay, you’re all there…”
I might have something in my stomach, but I don’t want to be taken away by that person who is just yawning carefree-
“Let’s get down, Jiaya.”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
… Is it being taken away?
Me.
To him?
“Thank you for your hard work, please be careful when entering.”
“Yes.”
Without having time to follow the vanishing car, I was led by Hinami’s hand and entered the elevator.
The clean silver wall clearly reflects Hinami’s figure first, followed by my face.
Indecisive, incompetent, unable to decide anything on his own.
A similar face to her older sister a year ago.
“Whoa…”
I don’t like seeing myself like that to the point where it’s annoying, so I close my eyes and erase my face from my mind.
But no matter how hard I tried to shake it off, my weak and useless face wouldn’t fall from my eyelids.
It would be easier for everyone if we just gave up on that guy, why?
Why?
“Hmph, heh, heh—”
… What’s so exciting about Hina Mi’s humming song that makes me so obnoxious?
To a girl who isn’t more popular than me, can’t sing well, is short, and is just a little cute.
That’s why I’m so upset.
“Let’s get down, Jiaya.”
How did I…,
I ended up being dragged around by him.
I was definitely a person who led someone.
Even though I knew I would be criticized, I was a person who took the lead.
Why can’t I just take the first step these days?
What…,
Is it really that scary?
“Oh, Ha-eun!”
“… “Why don’t you just talk and come visit me?”
“Ehehe. “I’m sorry.”
“Joo Hyuk went to the convenience store for a moment. “It will come soon.”
Even the sister who looked so pathetic.
Now it’s no longer possible to do anything.
… Everything.
Because of that one man.
In the end, I was grabbed by Hinami’s hand and gently dragged into his house, where I was able to wash off my sweaty body alone.
Standing in a daze, being hit by a stream of water, without even having time to sort out my complicated thoughts.
I heard the sound of the front door opening.
“What, why are there so many shoes?”
“Did you call them?”
“No. “I didn’t call you today.”
My sister and her voice talking nonsense made my heart feel even more complicated.
… Is she really okay?
The man he loved got another woman pregnant.
Unlike me, nothing matters-
“Ugh…”
… B.
What were you just thinking?
Wait a minute, I was mistaken…,
Mistake.
I think I came up with the wrong word.
“… Ha.”
I leaned my forehead against the wall and closed my eyes tightly, holding back the nausea that kept coming.
… That is absolutely not the reason.
The reason Hinami is annoying.
The reason why I get angry every time I see her sister.
… Since that day,
The reason I stopped taking the medicine.
It’s not for him.
I am…
I don’t love Kang Joo-hyuk.
I love you,
I won’t admit it.
