chapter 207
207 – Hyunjin’s Karma Continues to Pile Up.
What Hotaru wanted was simple.
A date with Hyunjin.
In fact, asking me to tell you the city is just an excuse.
The abacus had already bounced around in Hotaru’s head. All I have to do is confess like this.
However, if people can easily accomplish what they set their minds to, who would say it is difficult?
The same can be said of confession.
It is definitely not easy to convey one’s feelings to someone.
Hotaru wasn’t good at this either, so when should he talk to Hyunjin? … I started walking around the city thinking about it.
Since they met quite early, Hyunjin and Hotaru had a light breakfast.
It wasn’t that great stores were open since it was morning, but since Hotaru lived and trained in the wild, her tastes weren’t that sophisticated.
He went so far as to say that a low-priced restaurant would be fine, so even Hyunjin was a little embarrassed.
“Are things like udon or gyudon really okay?”
“There is no need to attach value to expensive food.”
“Ahaha…”
Seeing Hotaru saying it didn’t matter, Hyunjin decided not to worry too much.
While eating at a franchise restaurant that sells udon and rice bowls, Hyunjin hinted at Hotaru, who enjoyed the food very well.
“You must be very hungry. Would you like another bowl?”
“Oh, this is…” ” ” … “Keuhum!”
Hotaru slightly turned her head and looked embarrassed.
“It’s okay, it looks good if you eat well.”
“Really?”
“I said it because I liked the look.”
“Still, I have something called face.”
“If I was going to save face, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”
“Well, then, one more bowl…” ” ” …”
“Yes.”
Hyunjin checked the time while ordering additional food.
‘It’s not too close yet.’
After sending off the schedule, Eve’s afternoon schedule was with Taiga.
Even taking that into account, I had to finish my schedule with Hotaru mid-morning.
“So, why do you want to learn this from me?”
“Rehearsal… It’s the same thing.”
It seems that Hotaru has someone she likes. Hyunjin made that decision and smiled.
“I will help you if it helps.”
Hotaru looked relieved at Hyunjin’s words.
After finishing the meal, the two walked down the street. Hyunjin guided her by explaining one by one things that ordinary lovers would do, and Hotaru enjoyed the time.
As the afternoon was approaching, Hyunjin spoke to Hotaru to finish rehearsing for her date.
“Hey, Hotaru.”
“Speak.”
“That’s it for today.”
“… Yes?”
Hotaru showed an expression that did not make any sense at Hyunjin’s words
“Because it was just a rehearsal, I thought this would be enough.”
It may seem a bit odd to say something like this in a park with few people, but Hyunjin focused on the fact that it was a rehearsal for what Hotaru had asked him to do.
Hotaru lowered her head for a moment and then asked Hyunjin back.
“Hyunjin… “Do you hate restless women?”
“Huh?”
“It wasn’t a rehearsal. Rather, it was an excuse.”
Hotaru continued her words carefully.
… As for her contact her her her, all she had to do was see and study a few times.
That’s what Hyunjin thought, but in reality it wasn’t like that.
Even when he first fought with Hyunjin over the finals, he trained himself to use his energy separately when he had free time… Even when she asked that question, her feelings for Hyunjin continued to grow.
It wasn’t that there wasn’t much interaction, and more than anything, he was a person who matched Hotaru’s taste for a ‘strong man’.
Plus a friendly personality.
There was no reason to hate Hyunjin.
There was no reason not to like him.
“Now, what… “
“… “I’ll go first.”
Just as Hotaru was about to leave, thinking that what Hyunjin said was wrong.
Hyunjin said, holding Hotaru’s wrist.
“Wait a minute, Hotaru.”
“… Yes?”
“Answer me one thing. So now… You made me… “
“Well, something like that! “Can you say it with confidence!”
Hotaru’s face turned red as if he was about to cry.
If it came out like this, Hyunjin had only one thing to say.
“I never said I wouldn’t accept it.”
“Well, that means.”
“I just want you to wait a little bit.”
“What now… ?”
Hotaru asked with a questioning look upon Hyunjin’s words.
“Literally. “I can’t answer anyone’s feelings clearly right now.”
“… “May I ask how long the waiting time was?”
Hyunjin calmly responded to Hotaru’s words.
“For one person to be happy… That’s what I hoped for. “If it doesn’t come to fruition smoothly.”
“I can’t help it… No, wait a minute. Are you already interested in someone else?”
“I just want to be happy. Hotaru, even if it were you, my feelings wouldn’t be any different.”
“It’s shameless, that is.”
“Maybe so. But it remains the same. “No matter who it is, I will stick to my feelings.”
“Is that so… ?” …”
Hotaru nodded as if he understood to some extent.
“Probably, other people besides me want to be happy as well.”
“I think I might not be understood. I am one person, and by accepting one person, I exclude others… “It can’t happen by my standards.”
It was trash talk.
You want to like multiple people at the same time? You want to satisfy me?
Such a thing can only be dreamed of in a fantasy world.
However, other heroines actually agreed with Hyunjin’s dreamlike story.
I thought I could make some concessions.
Hotaru thought for a moment and then opened her mouth as if she had decided.
“It’s stupid, but it doesn’t seem like you’re lying.”
“Because there is no reason to lie.”
“… Well then, I’ll wait. “I don’t think there’s any need to talk about it right now.”
Hotaru said that and left.
It is not clear whether it means positive or negative.
One thing is certain: I already had my heart set on Hyunjin.
That was an unchanging fact.
…
…
“Huh.”
Even though he was about to meet Taiga, Hyunjin wasn’t feeling very comfortable.
I wonder if this is right, but I feel like I shouldn’t doubt it.
“What’s already been done can’t be undone.”
I thought about it several times.
Hyunjin now had nowhere to retreat.
“Jinpa~!”
Taiga approaches from afar waving his hand his.
“Ah, Taiga-chan.”
“Sorry for making you wait so long!”
As soon as he arrived, Taiga put his hands together, stuck out his tongue, and apologized.
“No, I didn’t wait too long.”
“Okay? It’s surprising.”
“Is there anything surprising?”
“Usually men, yes. “You’re congratulating me for waiting for you~?”
Taiga said, shrugging his shoulders.
“Okay, you said you were choosing a gift, right?”
The reason why Taiga asked to meet Hyunjin is simple.
That was to buy a gift for Ryunosuke… It was for business, but as expected, that wasn’t Taiga’s real purpose.
Because I needed a purpose to get close to the damn handsome Hyunjin, I was just being around him appropriately.
‘Ah, really. My brother is extremely naive.’
Taiga looked at Hyunjin with a strange smile.
It wasn’t that I had more thoughts about Hyunjin than any other heroine or anything like that.
At first, if you think about it, it was almost like a joke. It was also surprising that he was from Korea next door.
However, Hyunjin showed himself leading the group, and the final blow that made Taiga fall for Hyunjin was when they went to a ski resort and a hot spring.
There was already a lot of dissatisfaction with Ryunosuke, and it was only a matter of time before he fell for his mature yet manly appearance compared to his classmates.
I thought the phrase ‘love at first sight’ was used in situations like this.
Appearance, personality, even body.
Taiga fell in love with Hyunjin, who was not lacking in anything, and eventually decided to do something quickly, starting with Christmas.
Taiga also had a general idea of his position
If you think about it, I’m a latecomer, but if I’m any later, I’ll definitely be left behind on the dating front, so I thought it would be better to get it right, and the result was the promise I made it on Christmas Eve.
Because I thought that if I delayed any longer, I wouldn’t be able to get my money back.
‘Hmm… By the way.’
Taiga was still staring at Hyunjin’s face.
‘How can such a great person not have a girlfriend?’
Even if something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. If you look at it as a person, it’s perfect in its own way, but wouldn’t it be possible to find out why by digging into it?
Thinking like that, Taiga decided to use the given time to find out more clearly what kind of emotions Hyunjin was feeling.
“Jinpa.”
“Huh?”
“Jinpa, have you ever been in a relationship?”
“To? Me?”
Hyunjin was also quite taken aback by the sudden question and was unable to answer.
“Yep! No matter how much I think about it, Jinppaya feels like a love expert~!”
“Ahaha… “Wow, the more I hear about it, the more absurd it is.”
“Oh my?”
No matter how quick Taiga was, she couldn’t be sure without first hearing it.
Just hearing Hyunjin’s words made her nod.
This person has never been in a relationship… And.
“Unfortunately, I have never been in a relationship.”
“Heh, I see.”
As expected.
Everyone expressed their feelings, but they weren’t really dating, or something like that.
Before that, it was a very difficult situation, but now I am confident.
After thinking about that, Taiga said, pulling Hyunjin’s hand.
“Okay then, let’s go quickly! “There’s no time?”
Hyunjin was led by Taiga and headed to a department store in the city.
