chapter 25
<Episode 25> Consultation
i like si eun
When I openly admitted the truth, my heart became lighter. My head was dizzy when I hesitated. As long as I accepted it, there was nothing to hesitate.
The attitude towards Si-eun has also softened a bit, and now it has become an awkward feeling that is neither close nor awkward.
It’s been a week like that.
There were still many concerns left.
How should I face Si-eun? How should I act toward Si-eun? What will Si-eun think of me?
And, can I stay with Si-eun like this?
Living in the same house as a man with a black heart. It will never be a happy thing for the parties involved. I hate to even imagine what kind of reaction would come back if I got caught. Even if it feels bad, it’s not strange.
In this situation.
What should I really do?
“Whoa.”
First class on Monday.
As he sat in the back seat and sighed, the friend who was touching the phone in front raised his head.
“Why are you sighing so much these days?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing?”
After repeating my words, my friend started looking at me. I wanted to do something, but my friend immediately put his cell phone in and opened his mouth.
“Then why is your face like that?”
“Don’t make fun of other people’s faces.”
“no. I don’t mean it that way, it’s because he seems full of worries.”
is it.
When I looked in the mirror in the morning, I was fine. They say that I can’t cut my hair in the middle. It is not strange if there are people who notice my changes earlier than me.
Is my heart being read like a friend I’ve been with for a relatively long time? Or maybe it’s because I usually live without worrying about it, so it’s immediately noticeable.
no matter what It’s not like I can’t honestly talk about my worries.
In the end, I just snort without saying a word and then shut my mouth.
Come to think of it, the thought crossed my mind that this guy has a girlfriend.
uh… … .
“you.”
“yes.”
He stopped talking and glanced at the seat next to him.
The seat where Sohye used to sit was empty. Is it because he hasn’t come yet, or is he being absent from school because he is trapped in a dreamland? I don’t know why, but I’m glad it’s not there now.
Try pretending to be as calm as possible.
“How did you get to know your girlfriend now?”
“What?”
I ask in amazement. His eyes and mouth were wide open. It’s a reaction that would appear anywhere in a cartoon.
The friend who couldn’t speak for a few seconds in that state lowered his voice by half.
“Do you have someone you like?”
It also hit the corner quickly.
“… … uh?”
“Right?”
“no… … . Why do you think so?”
“Hey, you haven’t been interested in my love story until now. No, I was just not interested in dating itself.”
but.
He was reluctant to go out, but he had no interest in dating. Was it because of you that you fell in love with the person in the house? It’s a very sad life.
“Well, yes.”
It didn’t seem like he had been friends with me in a hurry. When I affirmed, my friend tapped me and nodded.
“You have finally grown up.”
“Noisy.”
He clenched his chin and expressed annoyance.
The friend seemed to be thinking deeply about something.
“Well, but if you are someone you might like.”
He murmured until there, fell into thought, and then his face flashed as if he had remembered something.
“Is it possible that you fell in love with a housekeeper?”
“… … Huh.”
How did you get this far?
Seeing me clenching my mouth with excitement, my friend smiled bitterly.
“Well, I guess. The women around you are all there is.”
“That’s right… … .”
“Oh, or I was talking with a girl named Han So-hye these days. Are you sure?”
rumble.
As So-hye was mentioned, the sound of something collided nearby was heard. I don’t know where the epicenter is. Did someone drop a pencil case?
I don’t care and answer.
“It’s just that he’s an odd kid.”
This time, I heard a voice saying, “Whew.” I also had no idea where this was coming from.
“Then it seems right that you like housekeepers.”
“What.”
It’s embarrassing, but what can I do? I’ve also found out that I have a crush on someone, but it’s no use hiding it here. To ask for advice, you need to give information.
He didn’t say anything, so he smiled as if he understood what he meant.
But for some reason, it soon turns into a sad face.
“It will be a little difficult though.”
“why?”
When I asked briefly, my friend patted me.
“They are a couple with a big age gap.”
“What?”
age difference?
I tilted my head to understand what he was talking about.
My friend doesn’t know that my housekeeper is Si-eun. Furthermore, the friend seemed to think that our housekeeper was an old man. Did you guess that it would be at least 40?
It was natural to speculate that way. Staying in the house of a college student in their 20s and working as a housekeeper. It is only when there is no age difference that there is a sense of rejection.
“no… … .”
No, I stopped my mouth to answer.
It would be better to leave the misunderstanding as it is than to make a big deal out of it.
“… … I don’t. There is a big age difference.”
“okay. I know your tastes very well. Next time I send you a video, I will find it and send it to you.”
“Don’t let go.”
which one is that
In any case, the situation seemed to be understood. There is not much time until the lecture starts. Without delay, I decided to take out the main agent.
“That’s why I’m worried these days.”
“why?”
“I was wondering if I could have this kind of feeling for my housekeeper.”
“but. Although the world has changed a lot these days, if we are 20 years apart… … .”
“Now, let’s ignore the age difference.”
It is difficult to keep obsessing over the most useless part.
However, at my words, my friend turned into a bewildered face. I was wondering why I was like this, and when we looked at each other quietly, the friend raised his eyebrows and said.
“Then there’s no problem, right?”
It’s a conversation that doesn’t understand English.
“Why is there no problem?”
“What’s wrong?”
“yes?”
The words don’t make sense at all.
Neither my friends nor I could understand each other and just stared blankly at each other.
Soon, a friend asked, muttering.
“For example. What kind of dirty thing are you going to do to that person?”
“Never do it. such a thing.”
“Or are you going to break into the room all of a sudden and do that?”
“Don’t do it unless you’re crazy.”
If I didn’t do it and left Margo, I’d be slapped in the face and taken to the police station.
“You won’t? You may not have the courage to do that in the first place, but you know that you shouldn’t, and that you can’t go back.”
The friend shrugged.
“I wouldn’t even do that, so why bother?”
“Your partner may hate you.”
“Why do you hate it when you don’t do anything?”
Well, that wasn’t entirely wrong.
Whether I like Si-eun or not, it does not in itself harm Si-eun.
But if that’s forcing Si-eun to do something she doesn’t want to do. Only then will the problem arise.
“As long as you don’t do that, it’s better, well. Living with the person you love It’s a miraculous situation.”
“It’s not necessarily a good thing.”
To suffer alone with an unacceptable heart and to have that person around. It wouldn’t have been very pleasant.
The friend nodded and agreed.
“But if you live together, wouldn’t you have more chances to score points? You’ll have a lot of chances to lose, but that’s up to you.”
“I think I’ve already been deducted hundreds of points… … .”
“Then we have to build up the pluses on the contrary. Or hit a come-back home run.”
After saying that, he scratched his cheek and continued speaking.
“Me too. Before we started dating, there were days when I wondered if my partner liked me. I was hesitant and tied my hair up.”
“I can’t imagine seeing you now.”
“Everyone gets weird when they’re in love.”
Says all sorts of strange things.
“But now that I think about it, I think I just waited too long. If I had approached you more proactively earlier, if I had been more honest. We would have spent more time together.”
The friend who said that far raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“But I don’t think you would.”
“It’s a bit embarrassing to rate it like that.”
“Not overrated.”
“Is that so?”
“Rather than being overrated, you usually act without notice, right? Because that’s one of your few strengths. Wouldn’t it be nice to use it?”
“It’s an opportunity to make use of my few strengths.”
“It’s half a joke.”
I think it’s half-serious. I also decided to say half thanks.
“So, as long as you don’t cause trouble to your opponent, show the best action you can take. Then you don’t know if that person will fall for you too. Well, even if it doesn’t work, you can aim for the next one.”
“Well… … .”
I am grateful for the positive comments, but it was difficult to accept them straight away.
Regardless of what I can do, Si-eun is a very high-level opponent. I don’t have enough experience and weapons, so I wouldn’t be able to make a scratch and be annihilated.
Having said that, the friend stood up.
“I’ll go because the class will start soon.”
“okay.”
“Anyway, your heart is important. Think well and decide. Let me know what happened later.”
“okay.”
“Because there are many love in the world that overcome the age difference. I will support you.”
“Uh, uh. okay.”
Eventually, the friend went back to where the other kids had gathered.
Seeing the lively chatter as usual, I could tell that he had been giving advice very seriously until recently.
A friend’s advice was just as helpful.
Point out what you thought about, and let me know what you didn’t think of. After all, isn’t that guy a senior in life who has already walked a similar path? As a young chick, there was a lot to learn.
In the end, this is the conclusion my friend came to.
The important thing is my heart, so make a decision with good judgment.
For that reason, I came back to the first question again.
What should I really do?
“You did something like that… … .”
When I turned my face to the familiar voice I heard nearby, Sohye was shaking her head loudly right next to me.
“Wow.”
“I haven’t heard it in a long time. The sound that seniors make when they are surprised.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been surprised like this.”
that’s done
“Where did you appear?”
Sohye smiled and answered my question.
“I was hiding under the seat next to you a while ago.”
“What are you doing that… … .”
“Hey, I was surprised so I could hear him say, “Wow.”
In the end, it was a success. okay. Congratulations.
“But when you look down from the bottom, your expression looks so serious. I missed the time to go out.”
“okay?”
“yes. Besides, you’re having great conversations with your friends. It was even harder to get out.”
“I see.”
That’s it. I had some great things to say. If there was a problem, it was that the conversation started with the knowledge that Sohye didn’t exist.
“… … How far have you heard?”
“What is the sudden sigh? from.”
“I heard everything.”
“Yes.”
“Please forget.”
“Ahaha. How can I forget about this?”
Sohye giggled and said, as if holding a weakness. He looked like a little devil, even looking up at me with his head slightly bowed.
“You seem to have a housekeeper at your house?”
“okay. I was too lazy to do the housework, so I got one.”
“And Si-eun-senpai lives next door?”
“right.”
“Did you say that you fell in love with a housekeeper in this situation?”
“… … What.”
“senior.”
“why?”
“What is your relationship with Si-eun?”
I don’t know why you alternately mention housekeeper and Si-eun. I wondered if I was caught, but there is no evidence to reach such a suspicion.
Then, Sohye is just floating around. I am under no obligation to answer honestly.
“neighbor.”
In response to my answer, Sohye said, “Ahaha,” and laughed.
“You mean just the person next door?”
“okay. We don’t really have much acquaintances, we just live next door.”
“Um, I see.”
So-hye, who said that, said still with her eyes wide open.
“For now, let’s say so, huh!”
uhm.
Is it my misunderstanding that I feel like I don’t believe what I say at all?
