Chapter 177 – Begin Period 1 (3)
Siwoo staring blankly at me.
Seeing him, I turned my head and looked the other way.
“Do you have any questions?”
-Doesn’t exist.
To be honest, I can say to some extent now.
But still, I didn’t want to tell Siwoo.
Siwoo is also discerning, so he must know to some extent,
He didn’t force me to answer, as if he didn’t want to burden me.
Just staring blankly at me
I was just uncomfortable with his gaze.
“The author is better at math than I thought.”
-What are you talking about.
“I was wrong about this a few times, so I asked the teacher.”
A problem that Siwoo told me a little while ago.
The math problems he showed me were just right for the high school curriculum, that is, about differential and integral calculus.
Honestly, it makes no sense that I, who went to graduate school, don’t know this much…
-…
“Tell me honestly. Don’t you know?”
Siwoo looks at me as if he knew it would happen.
I couldn’t help but stare blankly at this problem and put on a dumbfounded expression.
That’s why it suddenly feels like this problem is difficult.
There… I don’t know where the idea came from out of the blue that I’m from graduate school.
So I just… Lee, Ji – Eun… Day… Only?
Then all kinds of mixed thoughts.
I hung my head because of the thoughts that were just overloaded.
“Are you okay?”
-… Give me a moment to think
“… Okay.”
Siwoo staring blankly at me.
I left his gaze behind me and began to clear my mind.
The feeling of two things colliding.
I feel… I took a few deep breaths and organized my thoughts.
Take a deep breath and feel a little better.
Seeing that, Siwoo looked at me for a moment and carefully placed his hand on the back of my hand.
His sudden action.
I panicked and tried to avoid his hand.
“Are you okay.”
“… “
“Are you okay. Ji-eun Everything will be fine.”
Unexpected words from Siwoo.
I looked into Siwoo’s eyes unconsciously at those words.
Siwoo’s words, looking straight at me.
There was sincerity in those words.
The countless Siwoos I have met so far.
The three Siwoo showed different appearances each time.
The first Siwoo was a Siwoo who only knew himself,
The second Siwoo thought of me to some extent.
Finally, the third Siwoo.
That Siwoo… To be honest, I don’t really know because I fell for Kim Sang-soo so much.
But… The third Siwoo showed sincerity to me,
I don’t know if it was from then, but the Siwoo in front of me now… He has changed into a being who no longer hides his inner thoughts.
As soon as he met me, he said he would make me his future wife.
Those words are embarrassing, but in a way, they were the words I needed the most.
One word to get out of this world.
It was the most important word for me.
And…
A small pulsating trembling within me.
This trembling is so… It was Lee Ji-eun’s, not mine.
The answer Lee Ji-eun wanted.
I knew subtly that it was the trembling when I received that answer.
Now, it is impossible to completely separate me and Lee Ji-eun.
Although this world is a fake world, it was because the period in which Lee Ji-eun and I shared the same room had been spent for a very long time in reality.
A thought came to me then.
By doing so… I thought that if I go outside, I can say that I am who I am outside.
At this thought, I fell into deep trouble for a while.
“Ji-eun?”
“… Are you okay.”
Siwoo looks at me silently for a while at my words, not words.
I haven’t completely forgiven Si-woo yet, but I can’t ignore Lee Ji-eun’s heart inside me, so I decided to answer.
“Can you talk now?”
“… I wish I knew everything.”
“… Ugh.”
“Do you think you didn’t know that you were eavesdropping on my conversation with mom from outside the door?”
“Lol… “
After Shiu leaves the room.
After that, my mom came in and we had a normal conversation.
A simple conversation about how your day was and what was bothering you.
Inside that conversation, there was a mother’s heart to check my condition.
That’s why she doesn’t want to give her mother any more sadness…
I chose to speak instead of write.
Mom, who saw that I could speak clearly.
Mom was amazed, but she hugged me tightly and shed tears of joy.
Mother’s warmth and tears.
I and Lee Ji-eun shed tears at that hot emotion.
The door was slightly open then.
I knew that Siwoo was peeping through the door, but
I was pretending not to know.
“I’m glad you’re getting better. Ji-eun.”
Siwoo speaks while holding my hand tightly.
I tried to shake my hand at his burdensome behavior, but
Unknowingly, I was caught in his hand, so it was difficult to shake off.
Siwoo, who caught me when I fell to the floor.
Of course, the biggest reason I was able to recover was my mother,
I couldn’t deny Siwoo’s share of visiting the hospital room every day for three weeks.
To be honest… Now… A heart that can be trusted a little.
But I was embarrassed to reveal this to Siwoo, so I changed my expression pretending not to be intentional.
“Ah… Anyway… It’s all better now, so stop now.”
“Everything is better, so I should come more often.”
“… Joy. Do as you please.”
“Honestly, is it good that you come?”
“That… Isn’t it like that?”
“If you talk like that while blushing, isn’t it convincing?”
“Who… Someone said they blushed!”
A situation where I was stunned by shame without even realizing it.
Seeing that, Siu chuckled and smiled.
“I want to take a picture right now to show you.”
“Don’t take pictures.”
“I knew it.”
“Chit… Play with me.”
“It’s a punishment for cheating on me even though I was able to tell you.”
A word from Siu.
At that one word, I sighed.
Siwoo, who is smirking to the point of being incomparable to the first Siwoo.
I knew that Siwoo was gradually getting better because of corrections every episode, but
I didn’t know it would get this far.
I’ve seen a little bit of that since the last episode, but
A situation I couldn’t know in detail because I had made a different choice.
But now that I could see it right next to me, I was able to check it properly.
Siwoo is pretty good.
Still, I haven’t completely improved, so I didn’t let go of the thought that I had to improve myself.
The money earned from the last round.
The money I earned by choosing Kim Sang-soo over Si-woo was in my bank account.
A world where succession is possible.
Therefore, the money I had had no choice but to remain.
The idea of using this money to go to an academy and focus on studying.
Honestly, it was because I saw in the first and second episodes that it was impossible to go to university only by swimming.
A normal university would be enough
Siu and I have to work harder to go to the same university.
I had to do that in order to pursue Siwoo who wants to go to the best university.
Siwoo looks at me while I’m thinking like this.
He smiled and talked to me.
“What are you thinking so hard about?”
“Ah… No.”
Siwoo’s sudden question.
I could have answered that question bluntly, but
The reason I stammered in my answer was so simple.
Siwoo’s appearance has become so perfect.
So, from the first episode, Siwoo was the one-tool for his appearance, but now that his body has been corrected, he has become so handsome that he cannot be compared to Kim Sang-soo.
Siwoo became the ace of the swimming team with me.
The combination of bronzed skin, muscularity, and good looks made him a celebrity-like figure.
After being possessed by Lee Ji-eun, she slowly developed eyes for men.
To be honest, I didn’t want to be affected by Lee Ji-eun’s body this much…
Apparently, Lee Ji-eun was at a young age, so she paid a lot of attention to her appearance without realizing it.
It’s not that Lee Ji-eun herself cares a lot about her appearance, it’s that she cares a lot about other people’s looks.
Besides, Lee Ji-eun is also a member of the swimming team, so he liked people who were muscular and had a good body rather than just good-looking people.
Among the NTR men I’ve met so far, only Kim Sang-soo meets this condition.
Geum Taeyang also had a good body, but was not good-looking and was pushed out by Kim Sang-soo.
Siwoo’s external change overwhelms Kim Sangsu.
In fact, Lee Ji-eun met the ideal type she had dreamed of for a long time, so she couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
When I slightly blushed, Siwoo stared blankly at me.
He smiled and spoke playfully to me.
“Have you ever fallen for me?”
“What… What? Crazy guy… “
A feeling of redness all the way to the neck.
Even though I was embarrassed by the sudden change in myself,
I was embarrassed by Siwoo’s active conversation.
Sudden change in me.
As soon as the hatred for Shi-woo disappeared, Lee Ji-eun’s emotions jumped out, and she couldn’t help it.
My feelings, that is, Lee Ji-eun’s inner heart, which was suppressed by my feelings, not Lee Ji-eun’s.
To be honest, I thought that if I met my ideal type, I would react so violently.
Anyway, apart from that, Siwoo is very active.
I was just embarrassed to see him throw out these lines like the main character of a romantic comedy.
However, unlike my feelings, Lee Ji-eun is greatly influenced by these lines.
Her heart was already trembling slightly.
“For three weeks, he came to visit me every day and gave me one-on-one tutoring, and I’m impressed.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Lol. It’s a joke.”
“… “
Then, Siwoo glanced at me.
He smiled and spoke to me.
“Does it look real?”
“Hey, Siwoo Park.”
“It’s a joke, a joke.”
Shiu is making fun of himself.
As someone who has been watching Siwoo since the first episode, it was difficult for him to adapt to such a drastic change.
Siwoo really received a lot of corrections.
To the point where I wondered if it was Siwoo who always acted stupidly or acted out of proportion…
Siwoo is full of confidence and has a sense of humor.
I felt despair for this world to the point of choosing suicide.
But looking at him who has become a completely different man, I don’t know… The idea that it would be possible in this episode was growing rapidly.
I feel that if Siwoo is so active, it will be possible.
Perhaps because of that heart, the hostility toward him had long since disappeared.
“Ji-eun.”
“… What.”
“Honestly, are you grateful to me?”
“… I am not grateful at all.”
“My mother says thank you, but the author doesn’t seem to. I can’t help it. I have to go talk to my mother.”
Siwoo shows a slight movement of his body.
To his threat, I had no choice but to give him the answer he wanted.
“Thank you. Thank you. So please don’t go tell your mother.”
“It will be like that sooner or later.”
His triumphant expression as if he had won me.
I sighed and shook my head.
“Because you thank me. Please grant me one wish.”
“… I will listen and think about it.”
“When you get out of the hospital, let’s go on a date with me.”
Park Si-woo smiles brightly.
It was absurd to see him even sticking out his little finger.
