47 – The Girl’s Only Friend
Recently living with my grandfather has allowed me to do many things.
Watching an opera, watching an orchestra… I was able to have time to appreciate art works that can only be found in textbooks.
I heard that the more he engages in cultural activities, the more he can heal his impoverished soul and give new vitality to the arid person’s sensibilities.
I don’t know.
I definitely think that something good is good, but… I can’t agree with opinions like getting a new rest in the heart or getting peace.
To be honest, the more I look at things like this, the more I feel uncomfortable somewhere in my heart.
….It would have been better to see it with Yoo Seon. It would have been nice to go around with Yoo Seon.
The first few months were really good. Delicious food. Nice clothes. And a spacious and comfortable bed. Every day, to a high-class cultural life that others do not even think to use. Can i enjoy this? I think that’s because my grandfather treated me so well.
So it was good… But as time passed, it just… Started to get less exciting.

Because human beings are animals of adaptation – the more I get used to this life I am enjoying, the more I think about Yoo Seon and the more I think about Yoo Seon, the more I feel like something is stuck in my chest.
Can I really enjoy this kind of luxury?
I have already known that Yusun eats and sleeps at the nursery school.
So… It would be nice if Yoo Seon-i did something like this with me. It would be fun if we enjoyed it together – thinking that I was the only one receiving such good treatment, my conscience was stabbed a lot. So I wanted to help Yoo Seon.
Since I have a lot of money and can do anything now- I could help Yoo Seon. Now I’m not that kind of stupid Jin-ah who can’t do anything without a wired line. So as much as I’ve received help so far, I want to be a source of strength to Yoo Seon, and I want to be of help again.
-Yoo Seon-ah, do you have time today…?
-Time..?
-Do you want us to go out on the weekend..?
-No, I have a lot to do that day, so I can’t.
These days, he doesn’t even talk to me. After taking a break from school for a few months, did we become distant? Just, when I asked where to go, he always said he had a lot to do and tried to avoid the seat, and I got the feeling that he was avoiding me.
-Ah..! Jina, do you have anything to do on the weekend?
– What..? What are you doing on weekend..? Are you meeting a boyfriend…?”
-No…Guys, that’s not it…
Besides, these days, when the kids at school see me, they always try to talk to me, so if I move even a little, they surround me like a swarm of bees, so I couldn’t do anything on my own.
What do I do on the weekend, what do I wear, what do I usually eat? Why are they so interested in my daily life? You’ve never paid attention to me before.
-Guys..! Me..! Me..! I have work to do!!! I’ll go first..!!!
I feel burdened by that kind of attention, so I break through them and run away… Even if I try to go to Yoo Seon. I couldn’t find where Yu Seon had gone.
So, to be honest, I was scared.
Yeon Seon always waited for me when I left school. It’s so awkward going home alone.
Every day after school, the two of us talk in detail- just going to the playground, riding the swings, and having a cool drink.
That’s my favorite routine. These days, I can’t do wired things and think that I might not be able to do that in the future, so I’m scared.
Everything I knew has changed, so it’s hard to adjust. From there, it seemed that even Yoo Seon-i had changed somewhere… That’s why I was scared.
2)
My freshman year of middle school went like that.
A second year middle school student. I asked the teacher to be in the same class as Yoo Seon, and I was able to be in the same class as Yoo Seon again.
Yu Seon came first and lay down on her desk to sleep… I sat down next to Yoo Seon.
…hehehe
I just sat there, I don’t know why I feel so good.
Okay. I’m happy.
I think I was clumsy when I was in first grade. Come to think of it, Yoo Seon-i was also very kind to me, but she just held my hand tightly and showed the momentum to take me to the snack bar and arcade…
Because I was like an idiot and I got stuck and couldn’t escape when kids surrounded me.
This year will be different..! This year..! I have to boldly reject that and stick with Yoo Seon..!
Fortunately, because of the problems she had with her teacher in the past, there is an invisible wall around her, so no one tries to get along with her.
On the contrary, it is an advantage for me. It was nice that I didn’t have to compete for the position of Yoo Seon-i’s best friend.
Because it was the first day of the semester, I had to write down my emergency contact information, but I wrote Yuseon Kang as my best friend’s name and covered it with my palm to make it invisible.
…
…
Huh… I just wrote down the facts, but I think I made a huge mistake. Her heart is pounding, her face is flushed red… Yoo Seon, who sits next to her, keeps looking at her.
– Glance.
She rolled her eyes hard, and Yoo Seon looked in her direction.
Personal information… Well, I know all of that, so I’ll skip it. The part where you write your best friend. Yoo Seon-i wrote everything else, but she was only missing that part.
I just need to write my name. Yoo Seon-i, who bit the tip of her sharpie with her lips, handed over to the teacher a piece of paper with the emergency contact information written on it.
…Best friends…
Yoo Seon didn’t write my name on it…
…Slightly…
I felt like I was about to burst into tears.
Why…?
Why…?
I still like Yoo Seon-i the best in the world, and I’m happy and happy when we’re together. Yoo Seon-i thinks she doesn’t want to be with me anymore…?
….Has our friendship faded a bit over the months we’ve been apart…?
I thought maybe Yoo Seon-i didn’t write my name on purpose because everyone kept away from him.
No! Yoo Seon-ah… I hope you don’t think like that..!
I know how kind and affectionate Yu Seon is. Yoo Seon is a friend who always knows how to be more considerate of others than himself, doesn’t bully weak kids, and can always protect me from bad kids.
I feel a bit sad and disappointed with Seon Yoo, but… It’s okay!
There are school trips, midterm exams, and many events where you can get close to each other. We can be friends again!

Yoo Seon doesze off like a sick chicken every day… When school is over, she just pops out with her bag. …He didn’t want to talk to me next to him… So I found out why… Yoo Seon-i was working every day.
I’m only a middle school student, but I have part-time jobs pasting flyers and cleaning grills… There are a lot of things I do, so I work all night. You sleep every day at school…
It hurt a little bit.
I can help with all of that if you tell me. Yoo Seon, who was sleeping face down on the desk… I pricked him with his finger without anyone noticing.
Even if I touch you like this, you won’t wake up…
It’s going to be a school trip soon. He has to hand in the expenses by tomorrow, but Yu Seon didn’t think to pay.
Maybe I can’t pay…?
I hate that.
I want to go on a field trip with Yoo Seon. I’ve been to many operas, museums, and exhibition halls, but I’ve never been to a zoo, aquarium, or amusement park.
Because,… A place like that is not a place to heal the wounds of the heart, but a place to hang out with friends.
So I have to go with Yoo Seon. There, we planned to restore our long-estranged relationship and go back to being precious friends, the only one in the world… I didn’t think that Yoo Seon-i wouldn’t be able to pay the expenses.
It’s a lot of money for Yoo Sun, but it’s nothing to me. So, travel expenses for a school trip in an envelope. And since I have to eat something delicious there… Put in some extra money.
And I was ashamed to say it out loud, so I wrote a letter containing things I couldn’t say.
I can just take out the money from my bank account and give it to you, but I have to think about each letter in my heart before I write it..?
So it took a long time.
…I hand-picked the stationery and the envelope myself.
Which pen should I use to write well?
Would Yoo Seon like it if I drew cute animal pictures?
I secretly opened the locker and brought out delicious chocolates for Yoo Seon to eat. There have been times like that… But this is the first time I’ve personally handed something like this.
So… I thought a lot. I wrote and erased the letter, and then rewrote the erased content… I don’t think this is the case, so I crumpled the letter and threw it in the trash.
Write a letter from scratch again. How can I contain my sincerity? I hope Yoo Seon understands my sincerity!
-Yoo Seon-ah, we can be really close friends!
After I finished writing the last line of the letter, the morning sun was coming up. If you show this to Yu Seon… What kind of expression will you make..? I do not know.

-Don’t look down on people!!!
The banknotes and the letters I had painstakingly written all night turned to dust and started flying in the air.
-Pang!
Yoo Seon pushed me hard against the wall.
It hurts… It hurts… It was shocking that the letter was torn, and it hurt my heart that you pushed me…
Yeon Seon-i’s eyes that I’ve never seen before.
My heart is cold because it is cold.
I… I… I didn’t mean to. I never imagined that Yoo Seon-yi would be able to show me that kind of expression in my life…
How could this happen to me… I… I… I don’t know…
I’m sure the old me would have liked this money…
So I did the same thing to Yoo Seon… I didn’t expect her to react this way.
I didn’t mean to. This is a misunderstanding. I wanted to say that, but Yu Seon had already disappeared from my eyes.
When you see me, you smile brightly – that smile
That voice that always told me interesting stories
The body temperature that always made my hands warm
My only precious friend.
My dearest friend in the world… Was about to leave me.
I didn’t even have the courage to approach Yoo Seon first.
Because of Yoo Seon’s cold expression.
Because I was too weak and weak to look at that… I want to continue to be friends from now on. If you want to get along well… I have to approach you first…
I didn’t have a chance. Half the same
I didn’t even have a chance to talk to Yoo Seon, so I couldn’t sleep every day because I was nervous, anxious, and afraid.
When Yoo Seon found out that she was going to high school in the future, she had a big fight with her grandfather at first.
I want to go to the same school as Yoo Seon, but her grandfather said no-no… I just… Shouted, cried, and… Got down on her knees and begged her grandfather. I begged again.
I will do everything you ask. How kind Yu Seon-i is, she is so kind that she scolds the kids who just said mean things to me last time.
So… Now our relationship has collapsed due to my mistake, but I want to be close to Yoo Seon… I wouldn’t go to school without Yoo Seon..! I won’t eat, I won’t sleep, I won’t even go home!
My grandfather listened to me… He looked out the window for a while and thought about it… And suggested a plan.
Isn’t it better to bring Yoo Seon to Future High School than to send me to Meister High School? If so, I can help. Having said that… I accepted his grandfather’s offer.
That’s right… Mirae High School is a better school than Meister High School,
Also… I don’t think anyone will think of being friendly with Yoo Seon…
As if no one got close to that..
I thought that no one would like Yoo Seon in future high school. I accepted my grandfather’s proposal because I thought that I would like Yoo Seon without any competitors.
