Chapter 399 – I’ll Allow You to Hurt Me (4)
Eun-yul mustered up the courage to confess. Then Seo Joo-hwan looked at me with sorrowful eyes and said.
‘Yul, I’m not such a good person. There are people I’m dating. I’m sorry.’
She could n’t easily accept her refusal of her. So she forgot her shame and hung on. She wants the second one too, so she wants to take it herself too. She said she couldn’t do without her brother her. Actually, she said that her brother does n’t like me either.
Where did you get that courage… No, can we call that courage? How did her ugly appearance of her, which would not be strange even if she was accused of being a psychopath, reflect on him?
Fortunately, there was no contempt in his eyes of her. Only bitter and pitiful feelings came through.
Finally he… Brother himself…….
“Ugh.”
Eun-yul sighed in surprise and opened her eyes.
“Ah? Uh…?”
She groaned and lifted herself up. And I looked around her. An unfamiliar space came into sight.
“I’m sure my brother’s room… ?”
Realizing that fact, Eunyul’s face turned white. It was because she suddenly recalled what had happened last night. She gets drunk easily as she is weak in alcohol, but her memory of her the previous day is clear.
“What should we do……!”
The concern that came to mind right away was how to see Seo Ju-hwan’s face her in the future. With such an ugly appearance, he talked nonsense, so there was nothing strange about being shunned.
‘You idiot, why did you confess!’
She had already been told that she had a girlfriend. If she hadn’t confessed, she would have stayed by my side.
‘My brother was just helping me out of pity. I ruined it all.’
Out of sympathy, I didn’t know that I helped with good intentions, and I was mistaken that I didn’t fit in the fountain. If I had been rejected, I should have ended there, but I clung to it, talking about fate.
“Ahh… Everything is ruined… What should we do…….”
Eun-yul wrapped her head around her head and made a sound of pain. She was resentful of herself last night, and her future her was hopeless.
‘Now that it’s like this…….’
There is only one way.
‘Let’s pretend not to know.’
Let’s pretend we don’t remember. Then you will be able to stay by his side of her. In order to do that, she has to pretend to be Taeyeon with a casual face.
Eun-yul made up her mind to do so and carefully opened the door. And he just ran into Seo Joo-hwan standing in front of the door.
“Hey?!”
“Woke up?”
“Yes, yes! Good morning!?”
A beeping voice came out. Wanting to hide in a rat hole is this kind of feeling. I wanted to disappear right away.
On the other hand, Seo Ju-hwan said with a calm face.
“I’ll go wash up in the bathroom over there.”
“Yes Yes?”
“Let’s eat. I need to unwind.”
Seo Joo-hwan said with a smile and went back to the kitchen.
Eun-yul looked at his back with piercing eyes.
‘What, what is it? Was it all a dream?’
It can’t be. I remember it so clearly.
However, seeing his calm face of her, he doubted whether his memory of her was wrong.
While washing her face her, Eun-yul suddenly realized.
‘You’re trying to do something that never happened…….’
It is a person who helps someone who has never seen him before by offering to heal his mental illness of her. This time, too, it must have been an act of consideration.
Eun-yul smiled bitterly. Even though it was a good thing, I felt like I was going to cry.
‘I must have been completely cold.’
In the end, the question came back to square one.
What to do next Can I continue relying on him as if nothing had happened? I said it drunk, but it wasn’t a lie that the second time was good.
*
Eun-yul’s worries continued even while eating.
And after the meal.
Seo Ju-hwan took a sip of coffee and said.
“Yul, do you remember everything about yesterday?”
“?!”
Eun-yul, who was drinking coffee, heard a tinge.
“Keck, Coke! Ahh, hot!”
“Didn’t you get burned? Wipe it with this.”
Seo Joo-hwan pulled out a wet tissue and handed it to me.
Eunyul looked at him with trembling eyes as she was handed the tissue.
‘Wasn’t he pretending not to know?’
Seo Joo-hwan was still looking at her. As if he knows everything he remembers.
Eun-yul finally nodded his head.
“Yes Yes. I remember.”
“So your heart is still the same? I want to listen properly without getting drunk.”
“…….”
Eun-yul swallowed her saliva. He already knew he was late to look around. She answered, closing her eyes tightly.
“Yes, I like you brother. I just said it because I was drunk, no…….”
“Even though I’m already dating someone?”
At those words, Eun-yul barely held back the tears that were about to spill out of her. It’s a shame to cry here again. She barely spoke in a hoarse voice.
“That’s because the feeling you like doesn’t suddenly disappear.”
Eun-yul slightly lowered her head and bit her lip. She thought the woman was glad her hair was long. Because her hair she hides her ugly expression like now.
‘This is the end.’
What to do next I don’t know how many times I’m thinking about it. He was my only support, but he’d rather not know. He’d already recognized the warmth, so how could he live on like he didn’t know?
Seo Joo-hwan looked at Eun-yul and said.
“Are you really okay?”
“… What?”
“You were like Yul yesterday. He said it doesn’t matter if I date someone.”
“…… ?”
“You’re asking if it’s real. I am the only one for you, but is it okay if I’m not the only one for you?”
It’s a cruel question that cannot be seen as being addressed to someone who likes you.
However, Eun-yul raised her head and opened her wide-eyed eyes. The emotion in her open eyes was a faint hope.
“Okay, it’s okay… !”
“For a moment. Before you answer, I have something to tell you.”
“What, what is it?”
“I didn’t tell you yesterday, but the person I’m dating right now isn’t the only one.”
“… Yes?”
“Even if Yul isn’t you, there are already several.”
“… Me, really?”
Eun-yul asked with eyes that he couldn’t believe. Her words did not fit the image of Seo Joo-hwan she had in mind. To think that he, who always considers and cares for the other person first, is dating several women.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at her surprised and said with a bitter smile at her.
“You said it yesterday. I’m not as good as you think.”
“…….”
“I will ask again. Are you really going to be okay?”
Eunyul nodded her head without hesitation.
“It’s okay.”
I was surprised, but that’s all. Wasn’t he the one who said he didn’t care if there were other women in the first place? It wasn’t something he said while drunk. Rather, she felt that this absurd remark was an opportunity.
“If there are other people, it doesn’t matter. So…….”
“Great.”
“Me, really?”
“Instead, not now.”
“Yes…?”
Eun-yul narrowed her eyes and looked at Seo Ju-hwan. What does this mean again It felt like the story kept going round and round.
Seo Ju-hwan glanced at her status window of her. It was important from now on.
〈 Eunyul 〉
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Height: 166cm
Likeability: A+
Current sexual desire: C+
Weight: 50kg
Fetish: Autogonistophilia (above)
Retained Talents: Singing (C+/S), Immersion (A/A+), Barista (F/A), Broadcasting Dance (C+/D)
The likability rating went up two notches last night. The changes in her status window her didn’t stop there. The current grade of ‘Immersion’ talent, which was originally B+, has been upgraded to A.
Seo Joo-hwan saw the potential there. Now it’s time to add the thickness of the sheet metal to her face.
[Master, Lucy has now learned the feeling of ‘shame’. She will be humiliated if she continues to listen, so I will cover her ears for a while.]
‘What? He said he would always watch over me!’
[I won’t listen, I’ll just watch.]
‘Bad bitch…….’
Seo Joo-hwan swallowed her saliva and started the engine in her mouth her.
[Activate the special ability ‘Whisper’.]
[Subject, ‘Eun-yul’ has an affinity rating of ‘A+’.]
[Talk to the other person’s unconscious.]
[It lowers the opponent’s judgment.]
[There is an unknown trust in the user’s words.]
He made eye contact with her and said.
“Yul, I like people who work hard no matter what. I especially like people who work hard to achieve their dreams or goals.”
Right now, it was clear that Eunyul’s ‘immersion (A/A+)’ talent was working in a bad way. The object she is’immersed in’in her daily life is likely to be him. I don’t know, but if I were to prioritize him, wouldn’t he be 1st, trauma would be 2nd, and songs would be 3rd.
“By the way, how are you lately?”
“…….”
“Just like yesterday, you’re trying to rely on me too much. To be honest, I don’t like people who rely only on me without a dream or goal.”
“Ha, but…….”
Eun-yul tried to refute. Recently, she went to Min Ga-hee’s studio and was obviously practicing singing. She worked hard to somehow complete her self-composed song ‘One Step’.
However, Seo Joo-hwan suppressed the rebuttal with his special ability.
“Yul said you want to be a singer?”
Eun-yul answered with her sullen face her.
“… Yes.”
“I like your song too. I think that makes you more special. So…….”
Oh, the next line doesn’t come out. The mouth did not come off easily.
But you have to. In order to turn the object that Eun-yul is currently ‘immersed’ into something other than him. That way, you can lower your dependence even a little bit.
Seo Joo-hwan said with her new blushing face her.
“I-I mean, make me fall in love with music.”
*
Min Ga-hee and Han Soo-ah said with serious faces they had never seen before.
“Make me fall in love with your music.”
The words came out at the same time as if they had practiced several times. It was a perfect harmony.
Soon, the two of them burst into laughter.
“Kyahahahaha! Did Hwani oppa really say that?”
“Puch! No, I think my older brother would really do it. Oppa, you say a lot of cheesy lines.”
“That too…Hehe. This one is a bit harsh. You have to tease me later!”
“Me too! I will make fun of you!”
Han Soo-ah and Min Ga-hee laughed as they rolled across the studio floor.
Eun-yul cried when she saw the two of them.
“Oh, no. What if my brother is angry? Brother, I mean it from the bottom of my heart… ! And when I say it, when my brother speaks, it doesn’t cringe at all.”
Han Soo-ah, who smiled while holding her belly button, raised her head.
“Ugh. Look at Kahi and Yul’s bean pods.”
“Let’s understand. In fact, we’re similar when we stand in front of you.”
“It is, but… It’s still fun It’s okay for Hwan-i oppa to be teased a little. How much you have bothered us so far.”
“That’s right. You have to put yourself in the position of being teased sometimes.”
They were two people who were conspiring with each other as if they had a lot to do.
Eun-yul tilted his head, wondering if he was weird.
“That’s it…?”
The two nodded at the same time again.
“Yes, that’s right!”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Eun-yul decided to roughly understand. In fact, there was a bigger problem with this one.
She looked at the two of them and asked.
“There… Are Sua and Kahi really okay? You are my brother’s girlfriend I like him too…….”
I had just heard from Seo Joo-hwan about the two. They were one of the ‘girlfriends’ that Seo Ju-hwan said.
At Eun-yul’s words, Han Soo-ah and Min Ga-hee looked at each other with subtle expressions. And then he smiled an awkward smile.
“There’s no way it’s okay, right?”
“Yeah, never. To be honest, I am angry.”
The two exchanged words and looked back at Eun-yul at the same time.
Eun-yul froze in shock at that gaze.
