Episode 31 has been significantly revised. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I would appreciate it if you read it again for future development. I’m really sorry!

***

A narrow alleyway with flickering scarlet streetlights.

Yerin, who was on her way home, stopped on her way and looked back with a shallow sigh.

“As expected… if it were you, I thought you would wait for me to come out.”

Chaeyeon’s face was covered with disheveled hair, but through them, blurred eyes could be seen.

There was no life at all, and Yerin took one step at a time towards Chaeyeon, who had fallen into a swamp of despair.

“Did something like this happen last time? I went home after playing with Si-hyeon, but you followed me like a stalker and told me this and that.”

An unpleasant memory. Yerin frowned at this and continued speaking.

“Then what did you say. No matter what I do, Si-hyeon said that she would come back to you? It’s funny, really..”

Yerin snorted as she looked at the current reversed situation. How will you react to this? While Yerin, standing in front of her, is silently waiting.

Chaeyeon, who stood blankly, said in a half-rested voice.

“Sorry..”

The words of apology that I never expected would come out of Chaeyeon’s mouth. Yerin widened her eyes at this.

“Why are you apologizing for something that doesn’t suit you? Be proud like before.”

It would have been better if I cursed him for giving up Shihyeon. Without that, it was very difficult to deal with as he came out in a low-key stance.

On the other hand, Chaeyeon, who was looking at Yerin with blurry eyes, continued to stand still…

dump..

He slowly knelt down in front of her. What kind of change of heart did you have to act like this?

Yerin took a step back from Chaeyeon who had changed and asked.

“What are you.. Why are you doing this?”

As soon as Yerin’s question is finished, tears run down Chaeyeon’s cheeks.

She was rejected by Si-hyeon and flocked to her, and she lost even time to take care of her self-esteem.

He was just using all means to get closer to Shi-hyeon.

“I’ll do anything you ask me to do. So please, can’t you give up Sihyun to me..?”

“A concession… Are you saying you want to break up?

Chaeyeon didn’t answer. But everyone knew that silence meant positivity.

‘What nonsense…’

While Yerin was stunned by the ridiculous request, Chaeyeon continued to speak.

“Without Shihyeon, I don’t have the confidence to live any longer.. When I eat, I remember the time when I fed myself, the time when I would sleep well and sing a gentle song before going to sleep, and the time when I would choose clothes and praise them no matter what I wear. I mean, I think I’m going to go crazy.”

I felt it when I saw her in the afternoon, but Chaeyeon before and after solving the trauma was a completely different person.

It’s not that they just like them, but that life itself is exhausted just by disappearing that person.

Yerin thought that the present Chaeyeon was just like her past self.

“..It’s the same for me. Si-hyeon is like my whole life, and I don’t know how I would have lived without her.”

If it hadn’t been for my grandmother and Shi-hyeon, I might have committed suicide before I became an adult. That was Yerin’s main thought, and that’s why she was able to live with more gratitude to the two of them.

“But you were trying to get rid of a child that is so precious to me… Don’t you think it’s too selfish to do this now on a subject like that?

Yerin couldn’t forgive Chaeyeon who tried to exclude Sihyeon from her life.

While Chaeyeon takes over Shihyeon. Yerin spent every day depressed.

Whenever Sihyeon posted her memories with Chaeyeon on social media, she wiped her tears from the blanket, and repeated binge eating to relieve stress.

On the subject of giving me such painful days, what in the world am I for making such a request?

While Yerin looked down with a resentful gaze, Chaeyeon spoke in a dazed voice.

“At that time, I didn’t have much time to spare, so I was afraid that I would lose Si-hyun to you.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m also scared of losing Si-hyun to you. I hate to admit it, but it’s true that Si-hyun loved you madly, so I don’t want to leave you by Si-hyun’s side.”

no lover. Chaeyeon didn’t want to even allow her to be a friend.

It’s because I didn’t know if I’d let him be by my side and win his heart.

‘I don’t want to lose anymore…’

Wouldn’t it be enough to have suffered for over a year already?

Yerin clenched her fists so tightly that her palms ache, turned around and said.

“..whatever you ask, I don’t intend to listen. I’m going to pretend this story didn’t exist, so don’t interrupt us for nothing and find another good guy.”

Yerin knew it was impossible, but suggested a harsh path and left.

However, Chaeyeon’s next words catch on to this.

“It’s better to live alone for the rest of your life than to meet another man. Besides, I’ve hurt Sihyun so much.

“It’s also possible for me to care for Si-hyeon. Just because I like you and want to be with you, don’t be fooled by other reasons.”

To the crying Chaeyeon, Yerin turned her head and continued.

“If it’s about your past, I’ve heard it from Si-hyeon, too. I’m sure it’s unfair. I met a man I truly love, but everything was mixed up because of the trauma.”

It would be a lie if I said I didn’t have sympathy for the broken Chaeyeon. As Yerin has a dark family history, she fully sympathized with the feelings Chaeyeon was feeling.

“But I have no intention of giving up on Si-hyeon just because you had such a past. I like her too much to give her away with sympathy.”

It felt sad to see Chaeyeon’s face gradually turning into despair. However, while feeling pity for her past, Yerin had an opposite thought.

‘I don’t know if it’s selfish, but I thought it was fortunate that you were traumatized…’

If Chaeyeon had not had a dark family history, Yerin would have sucked her fingers for the rest of her life watching the two of them dating.

However, thanks to the trauma, she got an unexpected opportunity, so Yerin took responsibility for it.

“……..”

Yerin uttered her last words to Chaeyeon, who looked up at her with empty eyes.

“Things you haven’t been able to do to Si-hyeon so far. I’ll take care of all the healing and affection for you.

***

quiver-

Yerin, who had left Chaeyeon behind, returned home with a bitter feeling.

‘I arrived later than expected..’

By now, Shihyeon might be worried a lot. Yerin hurriedly took out her cell phone, cleared her throat, and made a call at the same time.

Tour.. Tour..

At the end of the second reception.

[hello.]

The voice of a loved one made Yerin’s heart flutter.

“I’m not honey, but I’m still a girlfriend~”

[Sometimes it’s a joke.]

“Why, it’s just fun.”

While Yerin smiled at the meaningless tiki-taka, Shihyeon asked in a friendly voice.

[Did you get home well?]

“Yeah, I just came in and I’m taking a break.”

[I thought it would go soon, but it took longer than I thought.]

“I stopped by the convenience store because I was hungry.”

I’m sorry for lying, but I couldn’t honestly say that I met Chaeyeon.

[Ah.. Come to think of it, I only ate squid today. I thought I’d cook some ramen before you go.]

When Shihyeon believed her words, Yerin sighed in relief and replied.

“It’s okay. I had a lot of work today. I didn’t even know I was hungry because I was too busy.”

[..So do I.]

Yerin noticed that Shihyeon’s friendly voice had gone down. Do you feel guilty about what happened with Chaeyeon today?

Yerin, who decided that this atmosphere should not be dragged on for a long time, hurriedly changed the topic.

“I want to put on the coupling sooner than that. That’s right.”

[I know. When it’s finished, let’s go get it together.]

Wearing the same ring on the ring finger of her left hand… Yerin’s heart swelled just by imagining it.

“Yeah. But if you get it, will you put it on right away?”

[Would that be good? Or is there something else you want?]

“Are you going to make a proposal in an atmospheric place…?”

[I’m making a pretty embarrassing request.]

“It’s embarrassing, what’s embarrassing. If you can’t do it, you don’t have to. I’ll do it.”

When Yerin spoke like a pout, Shihyeon hurriedly denied it.

[I said I was shy, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t.]

“Then are you going to do it?”

[If you wish… I can do that.]

“Hehe..”

Yerin unknowingly let out a silly laugh. The source of happiness that breathes life into one’s life. Sihyun Kim.

She didn’t want to give up or share her precious boyfriend with anyone.

He is only his own. Even if someone asked for it, even if Shihyeon wanted her to break up, Yerin had no intention of letting her go.
