Episode 223
“…Then let’s go.’
Jeong Ha-yeon watched blankly as Nam Do-yoon and Cha Ji-yoon left.
“No.. You must be..”
Jeong Ha-yeon barely swallowed her words.
Obviously, Nam Do-yoon said he had a promise.
I wanted to argue.
You clearly said you had an appointment. But, why.. When Cha Ji-yoon asked, he said he had no plans..
Why.. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you doing this?
But, I didn’t say it out loud.
He thought he would become too ugly.
Or rather, when he heard those words from Namdo Yoon, he felt like he couldn’t handle it.
I couldn’t bear to ask.
Jeong Ha-yeon sat in her seat blankly.
I can’t think of anything, as if I’m completely out of my mind.
After Michel Foucault’s lecture, students began to leave one by one.
“Hayeon. It’s over. Let’s hurry.”
“..Aren’t you going? Hayeon?”
Even when her friends around her called, she had no answer at all.
Everyone had already left the auditorium.
Jeong Ha-yeon was left alone in the auditorium.
Nevertheless, she remained blankly alone.
“Hayeon.”
A person came to her side.
Kim Min-seo said to her.
However, Jeong Ha-yeon continued to remain blank.
“Hayeon!”
Kim Min-seo grabbed her shoulder.
“Huh..?”
Only then did Jeong Ha-yeon look back at Kim Min-seo.
“Ah. It’s Minseo. “I was surprised.”
“What’s going on? “Why are you so dazed?”
Kim Min-seo said with a worried expression.
“No. “Nothing happened.”
“Nothing has happened, why are you making that face?”
“Huh?”
“No, you always sit there blankly like that when something shocks you. “Something happened.”
“No. “Nothing really happened.. Really..”
“Tell me honestly. Hayeonah. “It’s related to Nam Do-yoon.”
“…”
Jeong Ha-yeon looked at Kim Min-seo for a while and nodded her head slightly.
“As expected. Unless it’s related to Nam Do-yoon, there’s no way you would do that. What happened more than that?”
“…Are you going to keep the secret?”
“Of course. “Have you seen me say something like that somewhere?”
“…That’s right.”
Jeong Ha-yeon nodded her head.
“No… I asked Nam Do-yoon today. “Do you have any plans after school?”
“Yes. However?”
“I said clearly that Nam Do-yoon wasn’t there, right? So I asked him to eat something after I finished, but he suddenly remembered his promise and said it had been there before. “I thought maybe I was mistaken, so I just stayed there.”
“But?”
“Jiyoon suddenly approaches Nam Doyoon and asks him a question. What are you doing after this? Then, do you know what Nam Do-yoon said?”
“What did you say?”
“He said he had no plans and went with Cha Ji-yoon. “And with a very excited expression on his face.”
“…”
“This means he hates me, right?”
“…. No, there’s no way you wouldn’t like it.”
“Other than that, there is no explanation. When Namdo Yoon asked me to eat, he suddenly said he had an appointment and said he couldn’t eat, but when Cha Ji Yoon said that, he suddenly went with me..”
“…”
“What? Doesn’t care. I don’t really have any intention of approaching someone who doesn’t like me that actively. “Well, there’s no reason for me to do that.”
“…Hayeon. “What if that’s not the case?”
“What do you mean it’s not like that?”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with a puzzled expression.
It was something I couldn’t understand at all.
If not, why did Nam Do-yoon avoid me?
“No. “Nam Do-yoon originally had an appointment, but he may have canceled it because Cha Ji-yoon asked to go together.”
“…It can’t be.”
“And Hayeon, let me ask you one thing more than anything else.”
“What?”
“If Nam Do-yoon says he doesn’t like you, can you give up on Nam Do-yoon?”
“Of course… There’s no reason for me to approach someone who says they don’t like me. “There are a lot of people who like me, but I can choose to meet them.”
“Hayeon. Then let me ask you just one question./”
“Uh.”
“Teacher Michel Foucault said today. If the world were to end in a week, what would you do right away? “You said that’s the person’s true, essential desire.”
“…Yes.”
“Who did you think of at that time?”
“…Nam Do-yoon.”
“Okay. “If the world were to end immediately, not in a week, but tomorrow, who would you be with?”
“..Nam Do-yoon.”
“Okay. Then, of course, you should go straight. And the way I see it, it’s not that Nam Doyoon hates you… “
Kim Min-seo paused while speaking.
“I don’t know if I can say this.”
“Why do you say that?”
Kim Min-seo looked closely and spoke in a low voice.
“It seems to me that you have a crush on Cha Ji-yoon?
“What?”
Jeong Ha-yeon’s expression became distorted.
“…No way. “It can’t be, and even if it were a very unlikely possibility, there’s no way Jiyoon would like Nam Doyoon.”
“No. From what I can see, Jiyoon also seems to have a crush on Nam Doyoon?”
“What?”
“No, if that wasn’t the case, why would Jiyoon say that to Nam Doyoon? Let’s go out together. “It’s a perfume workshop that only a lover would go to together.”
“…”
“If Jiyoon doesn’t have a crush on Nam Doyoon, there’s no reason for them to go out together. Moreover, Ji-yoon is not the kind of person who would say such things to a man or a dog in the first place.
“…”
“Hayeon. “What do you think will happen if the two of you meet on good terms and end up dating?”
“…..”
Jeong Ha-yeon had a very painful expression.
Tiring-
The SNS alarm rang.
“…Huh? “What happened to Ji-yoon?”
Cha Ji-yoon was famous for creating an SNS account but not uploading anything.
If it was going to be like this, I wonder why it was made.
But, a photo was uploaded there.
What is really happening?
Kim Min-seo looked at the photo.
And then his expression hardened.
“Hayeon. I think things will get better between you two soon?
“What are you talking about.. That.”
“Look at this.”
Kim Min-seo showed her her photo.
It was a photo of the two of them looking at each other and smiling in front of a maple tree.
“No matter how you look at this, it seems like the two of you have a crush on each other, right? However, I don’t think they are dating yet…”
“…”
“I think this is actually the only opportunity. Hayeon, you can intervene.”
“..”
“So, why don’t we change a little more proactively now?”
“Why do I have to do that… Ugh.”
Jeong Ha-yeon grabbed her head.
Her uncontrollable headache took over.
“Hayeon, if you get too stressed, you usually get really bad headaches. Just looking at what’s happening now… “If the two of you really end up dating…”
“…”
Jeong Ha-yeon bit her lip tightly.
“If you sit around and do nothing and start dating Nam Do-yoon, Hang-nyeo, can you handle the aftermath?”
“… It doesn’t matter.”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with an effortful smile.
“I’m tired, so I’ll go in first.”
Jeong Ha-yeon stood up from her seat.
“Hayeon!”
“When the headache is really bad, I just take a sleeping pill, sleep, and wake up feeling better.”
Jeong Ha-yeon soon entered her dorm room.
She lifted the sleeping pills on her desk.
Gulp-
She soon swallowed the sleeping pills.
If I eat this, I can sleep well no matter how painful it is.
These painful feelings will all be diluted when you wake up.
Jeong Ha-yeon lay down on the bed.
She then closed her eyes.
All kinds of miscellaneous thoughts were running through her head.
However, this too will disappear sooner or later.
If you just take sleeping pills, you can sleep right away.
“…”
But, she was strange.
No matter how much I lay down, I couldn’t sleep at all.
Jeong Ha-yeon picked up her cell phone.
She then turned on SNS, which she never turned on.
She then logged into Cha Ji-yoon’s account.
Numerous followers on her account.
However, she was followed by only one person.
Nam Do-yoon.
Furthermore, Nam Do-yoon was tagged in the only photo she posted.
In her comment, many people asked about her relationship with Nam Do-yoon, but there was no answer.
Only one photo posted on her post.
Nam Do-yoon and the maple tree smiling and looking at each other happily.
Looking at that gives me a really bad headache. I’ve never had a headache this bad before.
It really hurts so much.
But if you sleep a little, you’ll be fine.
While she was thinking that, she lay down. It’ll be okay. You’ll be fine if you sleep.
But, only one thought keeps coming to my mind.
Really, if the world were to end tomorrow, what would I want to do?
I really hate to admit it, but even if I ask you 100 times, I still think the same thing 100 times.
I want to spend time with Nam Do-yoon.
But, if these two end up dating…What on earth will happen to me?
I am no longer with Nam Do-yoon…
Tiririri-
Jeong Ha-yeon called somewhere.
“Hello?”
It was Kim Min-seo.
“What’s going on? Hayeonah. Didn’t you say you were going to sleep? “He said he had a bad headache and had to take sleeping pills.”
“..I’m trying to change.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m going to try it more actively from now on.”
“…Really?”
“Uh. I don’t think I could bear it if I missed it like this. No matter how much I think about it.”
“It was very well thought out.”
“Okay. “I’m deliberately trying to seduce you, so you won’t fall for me?”
