84 – You should be happy
“Uh… Yuara, it’s been a while, huh?”
“… “Yeah, it’s been a while.”
The greeting between Ara and Gu Min-seop, who met after a long time, was very awkward.
When she was in elementary school, she hung out with the four of us, including Hansol and Minah, but it had been a while since she stopped interacting with them.
“Well, are you visiting Lee Han-sol in hospital?”
“Yes, there is that too…” “
Ara trailed off as she quietly hid the document bag in her hand.
There were many stories that would have been difficult in many ways for anyone other than Hansol to hear.
Before I came, I stopped by Soyi’s snack bar and checked on Soyi who was working through the window, but I didn’t expect that someone else would come looking for Hansol.
“Um… “
When such a hint was conveyed, Gu Min-seop rolled his eyes between Hansol and Ara.
He felt that the atmosphere between the two people was unusual for it to be simply a visit to the hospital.
“… Hey, I’m leaving. Lee Hansol Because I saw that you were fine. “When I get out of the hospital, I’ll call you and have a drink to congratulate you on your discharge.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Goo Min-seop got up from the chair and left the hospital room.
Ara lightly bowed her head to him as he passed her, expressed her gratitude, and sat down on the chair he had been sitting on.
“…… “
“…… “
The two stared at each other in silence for a moment.
I felt that we were different from back then.
There was a change in each other’s hearts, and we knew more than we didn’t know.
“… How are you feeling? Can I really be discharged from the hospital today? “You don’t have to worry about money, so if you’re in a bad situation, you can stay longer.”
“That’s enough. The hospital food doesn’t taste good, so I don’t want to eat any more. After spending a day in the emergency room, I barely felt any pain. “I have a cast on my right arm, so it doesn’t hurt that much.”
Hansol held up her arm in a cast.
He said it quite lightly, but in fact, it was almost a miracle that he was so fine after such a big accident.
It was an accident that would not have been surprising even if one lost one’s life or at least had one’s limbs crippled.
“… I’m sorry, because of me…… “
“It’s not your fault. “That person, Yu Han-jun, who did something like that is crazy.”
“I did something for no reason and that’s why he did it. It’s all my fault… “
Ara, who was at the scene, watched clearly with her own two eyes.
Seeing someone you love fall down after being hit by a car. Even while trying to save himself.
Ara was beside herself until she arrived at the emergency room in an ambulance and heard from the doctor that Hansol’s life was not in danger.
“… Sol didn’t have to do that because you were like me.”
A sad voice. Ara’s folded hands were shaking. She was sincere.
That made Hansol frown.
“What kind of thing do you say to someone you already saved? “All you have to do is say thank you.”
“Our promise is already over. Sol, you don’t have to be tied down to me anymore… “
The promise between the two has ended.
That was Hansol’s plea, and although Ara couldn’t answer, she couldn’t refuse it either.
“Ara, do you think I risked my life to save you because of that promise?”
Hansol shook his head in frustration.
The reason Hansol gave up his body for Ara was not because of his promise to her, nor because of her promise to Han Seung-ah.
Emotions.
Dark and deep feelings for Ara moved his body before his thoughts.
“…… “
Ara could not answer that question.
It’s not because I don’t know the answer.
She also knew what made Hansol’s body move there.
She knew what the name of that feeling was.
But she shouldn’t have said it.
I shouldn’t have told Hansol the answer now.
Ara just lowered her head and avoided Hansol’s eyes.
“I am not qualified.”
I deserve to be loved by you. I swallowed those words.
She didn’t dare say the word love.
She hurt him for a long time.
“…… “
“…… “
The two were silent for a moment.
Even if Ara didn’t say everything, Hansol understood her feelings.
But she could not directly offer words of comfort or correct her words.
He shouldn’t have been like that now.
“… “I got a letter from your grandfather.”
“Uh… ?”
Ara raised her head at Hansol’s sudden words. She met his eyes with hers.
Why did King Yucheol tell Hansol…? Ara couldn’t imagine what it was about.
“… It’s been a hard time, right? “Your wife passed away, and you are alone.”
“Sol… “
I knew everything from that one word from Hansol. King Yucheol told him everything about Ara.
“For me… “I couldn’t tell you.”
“… Sorry.”
Ara’s head hung low due to her guilt.
There was no room for excuses. In the end, Ara couldn’t tell Hansol because she didn’t trust him.
She doesn’t mind hurting Hansol in order to do her job perfectly.
“Yoo Ara.”
Hansol placed her hand on Ara’s cheek and raised her head. Her pitiful face tightened Hansol’s heart.
“Ara, it’s not your fault. I said I would be by your side, but I was really just next to you. I had no idea why you had such a hard time alone. I just stupidly watched and thought that everything would be okay someday… “
“That’s because I didn’t tell you anything… “
“… There’s something I need to know even if you don’t tell me. “It’s me who has to make sure you don’t have to suffer alone like that.”
“…… “
Why are you… Why do you always have to sacrifice for me like that?
Ara’s eyes twinkled with such regret and regret.
“But you know, Ara. Still, I… “
Holding Ara’s face with one hand, Hansol hesitated, as if he was about to say something embarrassing to her. In the end, she couldn’t finish her words.
“…… “
What a foolish person. Ara had a premonition of what Hansol was going to say.
Because he is a man who knows how to conduct himself.
However, Ara hesitates to hurt herself and is a person who finds it difficult to say it out loud.
Zeuk-
“Uh… ?”
Ara gently pushed away Hansol’s hand that was supporting her cheek.
Ara’s head dropped as if her thread had been cut.
“Sol, is that person nice to you?”
“What… ?”
What do you mean all of a sudden?
Hansol was embarrassed, but he understood what she meant.
When I say that person, I mean Soi.
Without waiting for Hansol, who could not answer, Ara continued her words.
“If that person is mean to you, he must tell me. “I’m going to go scold you.”
“What is that…?” ”
Hansol still couldn’t figure out what Ara in front of him meant by saying this.
The expression on Ara’s face was not visible as she lowered her head.
Only her voice, which seemed to be gradually gaining moisture, represented her feelings.
“… By the way, you must call me when you get married. I cried the day before… I will definitely come and congratulate you with a smile…… “
“…… “
No answer came from Hansol.
Ara’s body began to tremble slightly.
Her face was hidden by her flowing hair, and something hot flowed down onto Hansol’s hand, which was wandering underneath it.
However, Ara’s sad confession is not over yet.
“Baby… When the baby is born, you have to let me hold it too… Because I will make sure that child is happy… “
Ara’s last words came out mixed with sobs.
“Sol, you must be happy… You must be happy…… !”
Eventually, she couldn’t hold back any longer and Ara’s head fell forward.
She had promised herself not to do that when she first came here, but she couldn’t take it anymore.
Continuous tears poured down on Hansol’s chest.
“…… “
Today. Yoo Ah-ra let go of Lee Han-sol, her long-time love.
———-
“Sol, you must be happy… You must be happy…… !”
Tak-
After Ara’s sad words, Soyi quietly closed the door to her hospital room.
She didn’t want to hear any more.
Soyi originally said she would wait at home for Hansol, who was discharged today, but she came to the hospital room with the intention of surprising him.
However, because Gu Min-seop did not close the door properly on his way out, So-yi could not go in due to Ara’s voice coming through the small open door.
“… What’s this.”
Soyi felt as if she had become a distraction.
Even though she was Hansol’s girlfriend, Ara was displeased when she spoke to Hansol as if she was leaving her lover.
And Hansol, who naturally accepted Ara’s words, was also displeased.
In fact, it was true that the content of the conversation between the two was something that Soyi would be happy about.
In the end, Ara admits her relationship with Hansol and says she is letting him go.
But I didn’t like the conversation between the two, the tears, the atmosphere, everything.
If it weren’t for Soi herself, it wouldn’t have been strange if the two had connected right away.
There…
“Liar… “
Hansol said she never had a girlfriend. Of course, the two may never have dated.
However, he said that her first love resembled Soyi.
But there is such a fond atmosphere between Ara and I, who grew up together since childhood. Clearly, Ara was his first love.
The thought that had been going through Soyi’s head as a vague expectation since she learned about Ara turned into certainty.
‘What is the resemblance?’ ‘
He deceived himself.
Hansol’s words, not knowing that his real first love was Soyi in his previous life, were considered deception.
That heated Soyi’s heart like a thousand dollars.

Even though Ara in her hospital room was clearly saying that she would give up on Hansol, her feelings of inferiority and jealousy mixed in Soyi’s heart and disturbed her.
It felt like her love had been lost to Ara.
Standing in front of Ara’s long-time love, she felt like the short time she had accumulated with Hansol was like dust.
Why on earth did Hansol choose him?
… Is he really the person he loves the most?
The anxiety that she had ignored until now while being with Hansol, the things that had built up little by little, raised her head.
The dark and sticky core of doubt swallowed up So-yi’s confidence in Han-sol’s heart.
“Ha… “
Soyi became dizzy and sat down with her forehead.
I don’t know what to do.
She wanted to talk to Hansol right away and confirm her love for him.
However, she could not enter the hospital room.
I didn’t have the courage to see what the two people on the other side of the door were doing now.
“Hey. “Could you please move out of the way?”
A voice was heard above Soyi, who was sitting in front of the hospital room door.
An unpleasant voice from a slightly older woman.
She wondered if she was in the way of passage in the hallway.
Soyi didn’t have the strength to respond, so she stayed close to the door without saying a word and cleared the way.
“No, get out of that door. Can’t you understand what she’s saying? “Get out of the way because my son is hospitalized here!”
“…… ?”
Son… ? What does that mean?
Hansol is an orphan… Oh, it wasn’t an orphan.
She made it clear that she had a mother who abused her.
But… What is it? Even more than that fact, Soyi felt something off about this woman’s voice.
No way…
Soi lifted her heavy head.
… She was there
It may be a sign of time, but the light has faded a bit, but the beautiful face has thin lines that resemble Hansol.
The hateful face that ruined her family.
