66 – I love you, I love you a lot
“… “She’s my girlfriend.”
In the end, those words came out of Hansol’s mouth. To Ara, these words were painful, as if cutting out her heart with a knife.
However, these are words that do not allow any refutation, complaints, or rejection whatsoever from Ara.
“…… “
Ara just closed her eyes tightly.
She was expecting it. That Hansol and Kim Soyi will have that kind of relationship.
Perhaps she had had such a premonition deep in her heart ever since she first met the woman named Soi Kim.
To be precise, from the moment I saw the expression on which Hansol was looking at her.
Her sweet and warm eyes were slightly different from those directed at Ara herself, but the emotions she was harboring were the same.
The day her Hansol told Ara to let go of him, Ara already knew who her Hansol would leave her and go to with her.
“Woman, friend… ?”

Unlike Ara, Minah, who did not know anything about the situation, was shocked and burst into laughter.
She met again after a year and was in love with… No, it is a situation where a man who still holds it deep in his heart introduces a woman he has never met as his girlfriend.
‘Why is it this person and not me or Ara? I… ‘What is she worse than this woman?’
Minah looked at her Soyi from head to toe.
Her face was quite pretty, but that was it.
Whether it’s her face or her body, Minah herself is much more attractive as a woman.
She is not just arrogant, if you ask anyone on her way, 99 times out of 100 she will choose Minah.
I don’t know how long this woman has known Hansol, but the overwhelming amount of time she spent with Hansol was probably with Minah.
From her perspective, Minah, this could not have happened. She is a betrayal.
Minah, who has seen these two since they were children, knew best that she could never be more than Ara to Hansol.
But… But the second one, at least the second one, wasn’t it Minah herself?
If Hansol ends up with a woman other than Ara, that means…
‘Shouldn’t it be me?’
When she met Hansol again, she was Minah, who thought that no matter what decision he made, she would respect it as long as Hansol himself was happy.
But no one could become altruistic so easily, especially when it comes to loved ones.
When I actually encountered this situation, I felt my stomach turn.
Such unfair feelings eventually came out from her mouth through her voice.
“Lee Han-sol, what are you really trying to do?”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Are you asking that? Suddenly she introduces this girl as her girlfriend and you think I’ll accept that? “What did you do to me?”
“…… “
Hansol felt guilty. She was always like that to Minah.
They say that a person’s heart is something that can’t be helped, but just because someone likes you so much doesn’t mean you have an obligation to like that person… From Minah’s perspective, it is true that it is a difficult situation to accept.
She was Hansol, who had always turned away her feelings using Ara as an excuse. But suddenly she introduces a woman other than Ara as her girlfriend, so it is natural for her to get angry.
Hansol didn’t know if Minah still loved Hansol, but it was definitely a betrayal of her heart, which she had given up for Ara and herself for a long time.
‘But what excuse can I make?’
Of course, it is impossible for him to reveal that Soyi was his lover in his past life.
Min-ah, no matter how much you wooed her, you couldn’t move her heart, but you couldn’t say that she fell in love with So-i at first sight.
… However, I couldn’t just apologize to Mina and remain low-key. Beside her, Soyi was looking at her Hansol with an anxious face.
Leaving Soyi by her side and telling Minah that she was sorry for dating Soyi was her betrayal of Soyi.
It is a complicated situation that no matter what answer you give, one of Soina and Minah is bound to get hurt.
However, if asked to choose between the two, it was decided which one Hansol should choose.
“Min-ya, I… “
“What are you going to do if Park Min-ah can’t accept it? “Do I have to get Sol’s permission to date each and every time?”
Hansol made a decision and was about to answer when Sunga and Soyi intervened first.
She couldn’t help but say something to Minah, whose words were getting on her nerves more and more.
Minah raised her eyebrows at Soyi, who spoke in an argumentative tone.
“Don’t intervene without knowing anything. “Because it’s about us.”
“Isn’t that my story? Sol has a girlfriend, so if I don’t join in, who will?”
“What did my girlfriend do with the suddenly appearing topic…?” “How much do you know about Sol?”
“… Well? “She at least knows more than Minah Park, who is not her girlfriend, right?”
As she spoke her meaningful words, Soi gently traced her lower lip with her fingers.
As if describing a specific action.
Of course, Soi was something I had never done before… Soyi instinctively used her bluff to provoke Minah.
“What… ?”
All kinds of unpleasant thoughts came to Minah’s head.
Hansol’s lover. Actions that only lovers can do. She said she had never done… Some strange things.
It was disgusting just to imagine it. And I felt a strong sense of disgust towards the woman in front of me who was talking like that.
How dare you do what with whom?
“You damn… !”
Minah looked like she was going to rush at any moment. Soyi also did not avoid her eyes as she glared at him as if telling him to attack her as much as she wanted.
“Min-ya, stop.”
“But… “
“You are a public figure. Then no.”
“…… “
Ara, who had been silent the day before, put her hand on Minah’s shoulder and stopped her.
It was only then that Minah realized that people’s attention was quite focused in this direction.
And Hansol also held Minah’s hand and gently scolded her.
“Soiya, let’s stop now. “We were on a date.”
“… Huh.”
Hansol and Ara stop each other’s group like decalcomania.
They both raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other.
Ara’s sad face appeared in Hansol’s eyes.
Hansol’s face took on the same expression, as if he was deliberately imitating it.
So, Ara’s eyes saw Hansol with the same face.
“…… “
“… We’ll stop. “We were too disruptive.”
Of the two people who looked at each other with the same eyes, it was Ara who turned around first.
She had no choice but to do that.
No matter what Hansol did with that woman next to him from now on, Ara couldn’t stop it.
When I looked at Hansol’s face, such sad thoughts came to mind and I had to quickly turn around.
“… Okay, bye.”
Hansol tried to remove as much moisture from her voice as possible.
Because he has Soyi next to him. Because I should avoid showing my feelings for other women as much as possible.
“Ha… “
Minah, who reluctantly took her steps at Ara’s urging, kept glancing back at her Hansol as she left.
But Ara did not look back.
Hansol looked at the girls’ backs for a moment and then looked back at Soyi with a friendly smile on her face.
“… Then let’s go too. “We should even go on a date.”
“Huh? Ah, uh… “That’s how it should be.”
Soyi answered in a daze.
After dinner, the two enjoyed their date again, walking down the street together and checking out cute shops.
However, the image of Hansol and Ara looking at each other affectionately did not leave Soyi’s mind.
———-
“Did you have fun today?”
“Yes. It’s been a long time since I had fun outside with my friends like this. “I can’t even remember how long it has been.”
For the rest of her date, Hansol let her enjoy his movie theater encounter with Ara and Minah, as if it had never happened.
The nearby park he took us to also had quite a lively atmosphere at night.
I don’t know about Soi, but it was a place where Hansol often visited with her before she returned.
Hansol corrected Soyi’s words, patting Soyi’s head once as she answered with a bright smile.
“It’s not just play, it’s a date…. And not just a friend, but a boyfriend.”
“Huh? That… “
“Well, wasn’t I too sudden earlier? Sorry.”
Two people walking in the park stopped under a streetlight.
Soyi had trouble knowing how to react to Hansol who apologized.
After I met those two, I didn’t bring up that topic until the date was over, but it suddenly came back to me.
Hansol looked directly into Soyi’s eyes with his serious face and spoke to her.
“You know, Soiya.”
“Yes… “
“I love you, I love you so much.”
“…… “
Hansol’s sudden confession. Soyi’s pupils shook as she looked up at him.
I thought that someday he, or Soyi herself, would say something like this, but I never thought it would be today…
No, I had little expectations. But something like that happened today…
But Soyi did not have the option of rejecting this confession. Even saying something as common as asking for a moment made me feel uneasy.
“… “Lee Han-sol.”
“… Yes, tell me.”
“Can I trust you? “You’re really okay with me, right?”
I’m really better than that person, right?
Hansol smiled bitterly at Soyi’s question, which showed her anxiety.
“Is it because I’ve been so ambiguous to you until now?”
“… I don’t doubt that you like me. I just… Sol, it takes a while to see if you are really ready for us to become lovers.”
“…… “
The two women she saw today caught Soyi’s heart.
Especially, Yua-ra, who exchanged very affectionate glances with Hansol. She was the woman who had grown up with him all her life under the same roof.
Hansol, who understood what she meant by her words, persuaded her.
“Soya, it’s all over for me. “I promise that nothing will stop us from loving each other.”
“…… “
“… Ruler.”
Hansol spread his arms.
Soyi hesitated.
If you go into his arms like this, your relationship with him will truly begin.
This is what Soyi herself wanted so much.
However, Soyi was still not sure whether she really occupied Hansol’s heart more than Ara’s.
“Yes… “
But the hesitation didn’t last long, and Soyi entered Hansol’s arms.
Soyi had no choice not to enter this embrace.
As anxious as he was, he wanted to make this man his faster than he hesitated.
“I really won’t leave your side this time. “I will make sure nothing like that happens again.”
‘This time… ?’
I heard something slightly incomprehensible in Hansol’s low whisper, but it didn’t really matter.
For all my hesitation, Hansol’s embrace was so cozy. As if the place had been prepared for Soi from the beginning.
Today, the two became lovers once again.
