Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

Chapter 32

32 – You’re just a hindrance

I definitely suggested to Ara that the two of us go out for the weekend together after a long time.

He also said that there is something important that must be said.

To make sure it doesn’t feel awkward, he said while joking, saying, “I’ll come out pretty today.”

… Yes, at least you seem to have understood the words to make it look pretty.

After waiting for about 10 minutes at the cafe we had promised, Ara opened the door and came in.

A light make-up that looks like it’s not made up enough to add to the innocent beauty.

I also liked the white polar tee that went well with Ara’s bright and transparent skin tone and the jeans that accentuated her beautiful legs.

My heart raced again…. That is, until he sees a woman he has never met entering her store following her.

‘Who is that? If you see her coming in while talking to Ara… The party seems to be right.”

Did we meet on the street by chance? But did I need to bring her to the cafe where I was supposed to meet?

I had many questions, but I decided to call Ara for now.

“Yooara! Here!”

Hearing my voice, Ara said something to the woman next to her to see if she had found me, and came this way.

But something… Ara’s expression is not good. I don’t think her body is bad, but why is that?

On the contrary, the face of the woman next to her was in full bloom.

Ara and the woman sat on the seat across from me.

What is it? Why is this person even sitting here?

I felt unsure of what it was.

“Sol, did you wait long?”

“… No, not really Rather, who is this person? Friend? Did we meet by chance on the way?”

Unbeknownst to me, the words came out hastily.

I wish you would have said yes.

“Sol, it’s not like that… “

“That, I know how glad you are. But today, the two of us are going to see each other, but if you bring me here without saying anything… “

“Sol.”

“… Uh.”

“Will you listen to me for a moment?”

Ara stopped my words with her troubled face.

That’s right. First of all, don’t listen to the circumstances.

Why was I in such a hurry? … I don’t know. It was because I was afraid of something.

As I was silent, Ara pointed to the woman she had brought with her and said.

“Greetings, my friend. Sol, you know Director Cha, right? She is that person. She is his daughter and she goes to the same school as me. Her name is Yejin. She’s the same age as us, so let Sol tell you too.”

“Oh, hello! My name is Cha Ye-jin! Are you Hansol? I saw you last time at the president’s birthday… Do you know me too?”

“… No.”

“Yeah, that’s right… It can be, yes.”

Did I answer too insincerely?

I felt a bit sorry for the woman named Cha Ye-jin, who had a shy expression on her face, but it was because she was a hindrance to me.

I don’t want to waste time because I’ve made all the plans to take Ara around today.

When will her child Cha Ye-jin disappear?

There is something burdensome about my face, body, and glancing eyes.

But if it was Chai, she was probably King Yoo-chul’s henchman?

It seems like I can’t remember…

“You don’t know how much Ye-jin and Sol asked me to meet you. Right?”

“Hey, Hey~ Why are you saying that in front of yourself?!”

“Ah, how is it? Aren’t you supposed to be good at it anyway?”

… What are these two talking about?

This woman named Cha Ye-jin wanted to see me? Why?

And Ara knew that, did she bring this woman on purpose? Didn’t we meet by chance?

I have no idea what it is.

No, even if I understood it rationally, my emotions couldn’t keep up.

I was going to go on a date with Yuara today and confess my feelings… What’s going on?

I looked at Ara asking for clarification, but she didn’t look at me.

As if he was deliberately not paying attention to me, he was talking with Cha Ye-jin in the seat next to him while laughing.

“Then, let’s talk together. I will fall.”

“…… “

Ara stood up from her seat.

What do you mean by missing out? Do not do that. Baby, why are you doing this?

“Wait, don’t go… “

“… Sol, come and have fun.”

Ara left without saying that.

When only the two of us were left, Cha Ye-jin was excited and started talking, but it didn’t reach my ears.

I just looked at Ara’s back as she walked away.

As she left the store, a shadow fell on her face.

———-

I felt like I was going to collapse if I sat there any longer.

“Sorry, I’m not feeling well today, see you next time.”

After saying that, I broke up with Cha Ye-jin after 30 minutes of being alone.

Instead, I exchanged her phone number with her and promised to see her again next time.

Even though Cha Ye-jin had a pretty face, it wasn’t because she liked her.

Even in the midst of that, she thought that even if she thought of Ara’s position, she should not embarrass Cha Ye-jin.

I trudged back to the house, but no one was there.

Yoo Jae-joon was on a business trip abroad, and the servants left work early because it was the weekend.

Normally, her housekeeper would have stayed and prepared dinner for me and Ara, but I told her yesterday that she can leave work early today.

As I thought, the plan was to eat dinner outside Arawa and come back today.

There was nothing to eat for dinner, but dinner didn’t matter now.

I don’t want to eat anything.

I laid my limp body on the sofa in the living room.

“Yooara… Didn’t you come back?”

It is 4:00 PM now. Normally, it would be time for Ara to volunteer at the orphanage she goes to every week.

I asked Ara to take off her volunteer work schedule for today only.

She said she knew then she said she knew but she said in reality she didn’t.

Usually, volunteer work is over and we return around 6:00 PM, so we’ll know by then.

“Ara said she would let Hansol meet you today and she asked me to come out.”

Cha Ye-jin said so.

When she saw me for the first time at King Yoo Chul’s birthday celebration, she said she liked me.

As her father is an executive who is close to King Yoo Cheol, he said that he heard everything about how I live with Ara and how it happened.

However, I had given up on the car because there was no point of contact with me, but I became close with Ara through Director Cha’s arrangement, and that’s how I got a chance to meet.

I wonder if Director Cha is trying to connect me, an orphan, with his daughter because he wants to have a point of contact with Yoo Jae-joon, who is almost certain to be the next president.

… I don’t know. That’s pretty good for me.

The important thing is that Yooara knew all about it and introduced me to Cha Ye-jin.

And that also coincided with the day I suggested that she go out.

Couldn’t it be that Ara knew what I was thinking when I made that suggestion?

Then it is an insult to my heart. I have no choice but to accept that I was deliberately trying to hurt you.

Duck-

I heard the front door open.

I see Ara coming in from the sofa in the living room.

She found me and greeted me calmly.

“Sol was with you. Did you come early? I thought she’d come over for dinner.”

“You went home almost right away. Ara, you seem to have been volunteering as usual? … I even asked you to free up some time today.”

“… Did you? Sorry, I didn’t remember. I’m tired, Sol. Take a break in your room… “

“I can’t go over like that today.”

I grabbed Ara’s arm as she talked to me without looking at me.

Only then did Ara look back at me and slightly frown on her face.

“It hurts, Sol. Let go.”

“I can’t let go. Yooara, what were you thinking when you introduced her girl named Cha Ye-jin?”

“… Why is that? I introduced him because he’s a good kid.”

“Why is that? Why is that?! I told you to spend the two of us together today! Ignore that and introduce another girl! Go to volunteer work as if nothing happened! You are ignoring me!”

“Sol, I don’t know why you are angry. You said you would go out with a good girl, so I introduced you to a good girl. Why? Didn’t you like Ye-jin?”

“… Do you mean that Do you really not know my heart?”

I looked into Ara’s eyes and asked.

My vision was blurry, perhaps because I was a little bit nervous.

Ara’s mouth opened slightly as she saw me. Her pupils are shaking.

“Separately… Is there anyone you like?”

After her moment of silence, her sobbing sound escaped from her slightly open mouth.

She answered without hesitation.

“… Yes she has someone she loves. He is the one who saved me and she has chosen to be by his side for the rest of her life. I decided to be on his side for the rest of my life.”

“Ah… “

Ara almost cried when she heard my answer.

Pressing her mouth shut, she lowered her head, as if not to show her face to me any longer.

This time I asked her.

“… How about you? Don’t you have someone you love?”

“… There is. I liked it from the first time I saw it. The one who is always by my side, the one who is always on my side.”

“Then we… “

“But I can’t.”

Tak-

Ara pushed me in the chest.

As if running away, Ara stood in front of the door of her room.

She said with her back to me.
