chapter 97
97 – Childhood friend’s courage [ SIDE – EPISODE ]
‘Hmm… It was surprising that I didn’t know that, right?’
While listening to Inari not too long ago, I could see that Inari had a huge misunderstanding.
Inari seemed to think I didn’t know that Inari was there when my parents died.
So I don’t know if it’s because of that, but it seemed like he rejected my confession because of that guilt.
But, how can you not know?
Of course, when my parents died, I, their son, could hear the mood of this or that.
Of course, I know that Inari was sucked into the same gate as her parents.
It wasn’t Inari’s fault, and it wasn’t anyone’s fault.
I confessed my honest feelings to Inari, thinking that it was just a story.
I didn’t know it at the time, but it seems that Inari rejected my confession because of that.
‘Maybe he could have dated Inari?’
In a way, both of them love each other, but a relationship that couldn’t be achieved due to a simple misunderstanding, that was our relationship.
If it hadn’t been for that misunderstanding, I wouldn’t have been dating Inari by now.
Although I loved Eun-ha Yoo during the 7 years of my life, my first love was definitely not Eun-ha Yoo.
My childhood friend who was always with me, played with me, and laughed with me since I was little. I loved that childhood friend.
If Inari had accepted my confession at that time, we would have developed into a mutually in love relationship.
But that’s just something in the future that hasn’t happened yet.
I confessed to Inari in the past, and Inari kicked my confession out.
And now, a friendship without love or anything, that is the relationship between Inari and I.
‘What. It’s a long time ago…’
First love for a man, no matter how sad it is at the time, is nothing in the end after it passes, and you don’t really feel any more emotions than that.
It was just that feeling.
I just want to be friends with Inari.
“Nari-ya. What’s the matter? You didn’t even contact me in advance?”
But, why the hell did he come here at this hour?
Although he’s friends with Inari, if you ask if he’s close friends, it’s not really.
It’s been a while since our relationship has been estranged.
So now, at such a late hour, without any contact, they suddenly come to me…
At least it never was like that.
Of course, I couldn’t help but stare at Inari curiously.
“that is…”
Hearing my words, Inari showed a hesitant expression.
Inari hesitated for a long time before speaking.
She took a deep breath and looked straight at me.
“Siwoo… can I go in? I have something to say…! Please listen to my concerns…”
A word of courage.
It seemed like he had something important to say to me.

Just by looking at Inari’s eyes, I guessed that these were words that I had to listen to right now.
“note…”
To be honest, it’s not that I don’t want to hear that as a childhood friend.
Still, he’s a friend I’ve been with since I was little, and I wanted to give him advice on my worries.
But, you’re right in thinking that I can’t afford to listen to that now.
‘There’s Inari’s sister in here…’
Because right now, Inari’s older sister, Inari, is in the house.
Besides, it’s a problem that Inari’s older sister is in my room…
She is also lying on the bed in a maid uniform, waiting for me.
The two of us were about to have a friendly adult conversation…
It was quite difficult for me to enter the room now.
Of course, it’s not that Inari doesn’t know our relationship.
But even if I knew it, it couldn’t be good to actually show it.
“Do you want to come back next time? I’m a bit busy right now.”
So I just refused Inari’s request.
Would it be okay if I consulted about my worries next time?
I don’t think there will be any problems anyway.
As expected, it was right to send Inari back now.
So I waved to Inari and tried to close the door again…
“Please… please listen to me…”
Inari grabbed my arm tightly.
And now, as if desperate, he lowered his head to the ground and made a request.
Apparently, he had a very important problem right now.
‘It’s difficult.’
Looking at Inari like that, I couldn’t do this or that.
It’s too rude to kick them out like this, and it’s also difficult to let them in.
So the moment I was weighing what to do.
Decided faster than expected.
no it’s decided
“Master. Who came?”
While I was arguing with Inari, Inari eventually came to the front door.
Then, as if curious, he hugged my arm and looked at the identity of the customer.
“Uh… sister?”
“Was it you, Nari?”
And the two could face each other.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
Inari.
Inari had no choice but to fall into a lot of heartache over the past few days.
‘I didn’t know Siwoo knew that… It was just because of our misunderstanding…’
Not too long ago, Inari thought that if Lee Siu knew the truth, he would resent him.
Even if he didn’t cause him to die, he was there where he died. Inari himself had no face to see Lee Siu.
So I thought that I would never get involved with Siwoo Lee. He did not have the qualifications to be next to Lee Si-woo, so he refused to confess.
By the way.
Siwoo Lee knew all of that.
Even though I knew all of this, I confessed to myself as if nothing was wrong.
And Inari had kicked it off with her own thoughts.
Very unlucky situation.
For Inari, who couldn’t achieve the love she wanted so much because of just a small misunderstanding…
To be honest, I wanted to change it even now.
So, Inari thought a lot about what to do from now on.
After thinking for a while, Inari ran straight to Siu Lee’s house.
‘It has to change even now…’
“Siwoo… can I go in? I have something to say…! Please listen to my concerns…”
Even though I’ve come back a lot, I want to improve our relationship from now on.
I wanted to make a love that couldn’t be made in the past.
That’s why Inari came to see Siu Lee.
By the way…
“Do you want to come back next time? I’m a bit busy right now.”
“note…”
Apparently, Siwoo Lee didn’t want to let him in.
It seems that there is something reluctant.
So Inari was a little puzzled, but…
I soon found out why.
“Master. Who are you?”
“Uh… sister…?”
“Huh? Nari?”
The reason was because of her older sister, Inarin.
Seeing Inarin wrapped in Siwoo Lee’s arms while wearing a maid outfit, wearing such a bizarre outfit and making such skinship in the middle of the night…
Perhaps what Inari thought was right.
Inari was taken aback by the unexpected appearance of her older sister, and Siwoo Lee sighed when he saw Inari.
“Nari, why are you here?”
“Huh…? That… I’m going to consult with you.”
“Can’t you do that later? Right now I have a lot to do with my master… ♡”
‘Come to think of it… Unni was tamed by Siwoo…?’
Inari is not aware of this situation.
When she found Lee Si-woo with Ina-rin a while ago, she realized how much her older sister likes him.
It was probably still that way. Of course, it’s no wonder that Inarin comes out of Siwoo Lee’s house.
‘Come to think of it… there were a lot of women crying, right?’
Also, Lee Si-woo was a very popular hunter at the moment. In addition, I don’t know if it’s true, but as a hero who saved the world, rumors circulated that he would become the next presidential candidate.
It wasn’t unusual for Lee Si-woo to take a group of women with him.
Even if it wasn’t her own sister, if you think about it, there would be many women who would approach Si-woo Lee, and many women who would like Si-woo Lee.
So… you’re hopeless, right?
Inari had no choice but to realize her own reality.
“Nariya, can you go back? I’ll give you advice on your worries next time.”
And Lee Si-woo didn’t seem to like himself the way he used to.
Well, it was a few years ago, but it must have been a very arrogant illusion that he would still like him.
Siwoo Lee was about to close the door.
Inari eventually had to give up Lee Siu.
It had to be.
However.
“Siwoo. Me too… Me too… Can you let me into the house?”
I couldn’t give up either.
I wanted to be by your side somehow.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
What do you mean?
To be honest, although Inari and Inari aren’t that close, they are sisters.
Naturally, I couldn’t help but feel that this situation was awkward for Inari.
So, seeing this, Inari thought he would go back the way he came.
‘What the hell is he talking about?’
But it was rather the opposite.
Inari didn’t even run away, but rather said that she wanted to come back home.
To be honest, this situation was embarrassing for me.
‘You don’t know what you’re going to do from now on…?’
That’s why I wondered if Inari was too innocent to understand the current situation…
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like that.
It is nonsense that not a student, but a grown adult, does not know such a thing.
“Ummm…”
So, knowing that, I want to come in…
To be honest, I couldn’t help but worry a little bit.
Should I bring this in? Should I not?
When I was thinking about that…
“Please… let me in too…”
I could see Inari trembling as if anxious.
It looks so desperate…
Seeing that, there was no way I could refuse.
“Ehh… yes, come in.”
Well, I couldn’t help it.
It’s a request from a childhood friend.
Let’s listen once in a while.
