Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love chapter 20

20 – Homemade Chocolate: Chapter 20

＜1＞

I saw chocolate all over the hallway.

Today is White Day, so some boys were giving chocolates to girls.

Probably mostly couples, right? There aren’t many cases of confessing on White Day.

Looking at the brightly smiling men and women in the hallway, I involuntarily have high expectations.

But I thought it was strange that I moved my gaze to Han Kyul’s seat while having such expectations.

Would you like to give it to me too… ?

“Eunha. Did you get chocolate from Lee Hangyul?”

“Ah-?! No?! I don’t think Hangyul really thinks of White Day as special. And she also brings me something to eat every time, so I’m satisfied with that.”

“They give you something to eat?”

“Huh? Han Kyul gives me candy almost every day?”

“Oh yeah? Because she’s never seen Hankyul give candy to anyone.”

“Ah… ?!”

She only gave it to me…

I’m a little happy.

“hehehe… “

“Are you Eunha?”

“Aagh! Nothing!”

She laughed involuntarily.

Well, if we get to know each other better, we’ll give Harim candy too, right?

“Hmm- would you give it to me if I asked for it too?”

“You mean orange candy?”

“Ah, is the taste decided? Huh. Anyway that.”

“I wonder if they will give it to you if you ask for it?”

“I wonder if that’s true~”

Harim looked down at me with a slightly subtle smile.

I just hurriedly looked out of her window.

After lunchtime, I went to have lunch with Han-gyeol, but Han-gyeol was not in the classroom.

I looked around for a while to see where Han Kyul was, and found Han Kyul talking to Yujin Jang through the window.

The window was slightly open, so I could hear a little of their conversation.

I didn’t mean to eavesdrop… A conversation was heard.

-I told you. The integral constant may not necessarily be a positive number.

-Looking at the result, it looks like that… Still, it’s handmade chocolate, but would you hate it?

– That’s right. Ha- got it I’ll decide this.

-Oki. I’ll give you a review later. Eat delicious rice.

Homemade chocolate… ?

Drip-

After finishing the conversation, Hangyul entered the classroom.

“Are you Eunha?”

“Ah! Gyeol-ah! Shall we go eat?”

“Ah yes. What was lunch today?”

“I heard there are chocolate snacks for White Day?”

“Oh yeah? Looking forward to it. Let’s go.”

I was heading to the restaurant with Han-gyeol, but Han-gyeol was silent today.

Judging from the conversation with Yujin Jang, it seemed clear that he would give the chocolate to someone.

I wondered if he was trying to give it to me, but he must be overly self-conscious, right?

Still, I’m curious.

Who will receive Han Gyul’s handmade chocolate?

And the fact that you brought it to school means that you are a student at our school, right?

Are you in our class? Or the other class? Who then?

“Eunha. What did you put on my face?”

“Uh uh… ?! No! I was just thinking about something else.”

“Is that so? Ah- enjoy your lunch.”

“Yes. All the same.”

Even while eating lunch, all I could think of was chocolate.

In the end, I finished my meal without finishing the meal properly.

“Eunha. Have you finished eating?”

“Ah- yes. I’m not very hungry today.”

“Where are you sick? Would you like to go to the infirmary?”

“Huh? No. They simply have no appetite.”

“Oh yeah?”

After lunch, I headed straight to the classroom.

I thought about asking before brushing my teeth.

But we’ve become quite close, so you can ask who the girl you like is.

But… I couldn’t casually ask something like that.

“Then Eunha. I’ll go brush my teeth.”

“Ah- yes… !”

I hesitated, so Han Kyul left the classroom.

Still, I didn’t go out with what looked like handmade chocolate.

It was me who naturally looked at Han Kyul’s hand.

You can’t expect it… ?

＜2＞

After the afternoon class started, I didn’t really talk to Hangyul.

But every break, I checked where Han Kyul was and what he was holding in his hand.

After the 5th and 6th periods, we couldn’t find the owner of Han Kyul’s homemade chocolate until after all the afternoon classes were over.

After all the classes were over, Han Kyul came to me with a bag.

Anyway?!

“Eunha. Let’s study together.”

“Ah- yes. Harim went straight home today. She can do it from the side.”

“Yes. Is it okay if I ask you something you don’t understand while studying?”

“Of course. Instead, if there’s something I don’t know, can I ask you?”

“Yes. Let’s help each other.”

Hangyeol read the reference book and started studying.

I didn’t want to disturb you, but I couldn’t stand it because I was curious.

I wanted to carefully ask after bringing up something.

“Ah- Is Han Kyul’s wrist okay?”

“Ah-yes. I slept and woke up and I was fine.”

“I see.”

“Yes, yes.”

The conversation ended with a pop.

This is not what I was thinking.

Shall we gather some courage?

Yes! Because I’m just asking… !

“Hey, Han Kyul.”

“Yes. Is there anything you don’t know?”

“That… Did Han Kyul give someone something like chocolate today?”

“Huh? No? Why?”

“No. It’s just White Day, so I asked because I was curious.”

“Ah- do you want chocolate?!”

“Huh?! No! I didn’t mean it that way!”

“Ah- then… wait for a sec.”

Han Kyul opened the bag and took out something from her.

I was worried that it might be homemade chocolate, but it was ready-made.

“I’ll give this to Eunha. I was originally going to give Were you looking forward to it?”

“Huh?! Wow-! Thank you. I didn’t think you would actually hand over the chocolate… “

I tried my best to smile and say it, but it was a little bit disappointing.

Finally… This is the difference between a friend and someone you like, right?

It is only natural to give homemade chocolate to someone you like and ready-made chocolate to your friends.

Making handmade chocolate for someone.

It’s not just ‘homemade chocolate’.

How many men have ever made chocolate in their lives?

It must have been that he wanted to give a special gift to someone special enough to make him think of making his own chocolate.

A woman would be happy just to have that kind of thought.

And you can imagine.

This person must have pictured the whole process of making chocolate in his head.

The way she goes to the mart and thinks about what kind of chocolate she should buy.

A look of embarrassment because there are only tools that he doesn’t know from one to ten.

Maybe he was shy about putting things on the checkout counter that were a bit unboyish.

How about going home again?

What excuse did you give when your family asked who you made the chocolate for?

He probably made chocolates with various excuses, but it was obvious that he was lying.

You might have sweated yourself getting hot water, melting the packaged chocolate and stirring it with a spoon.

Maybe it didn’t go well, so I made it while playing the video on my smartphone.

After trying to melt all the chocolate, you must have been thinking about what shape to make.

And you may have been thinking hard about how to wrap it.

In other words, handmade chocolate is a special gift that contains all those moments.

I think it is a visible gift that contains all the worries and emotions of a man.

That’s why it’s more special and affectionate, and it’s a waste of time to eat chocolate.

It was a moment when I was jealous of the woman who would receive such chocolate from Han-gyeol.

Still, it’s a bit disappointing.

After that, I studied and ate dinner with a smile on my face.

In the end, Han Kyul couldn’t find a girl to gift handmade chocolates to, but I was just curious.

To be honest, I once thought that I might be the person Han Kyul likes.

So far, Han Kyul’s actions toward me were mixed with actions that made me think that way.

But I think the answer is settled with this.

I’m not the person Han Kyul likes.

Wouldn’t it be right to cheer for her friend’s love?

What is the reason why you feel complicated?

Anxiety about a boy you’re close with suddenly going somewhere else?

Or did I think she might like me, but she didn’t?

It was all full of selfish feelings.

“Eunha. Shall we go when we finish eating?”

“Ah- yes. Sorry. I’ve been thinking about it for a while hahahaha.”

“Are you okay today? Strangely, I feel like low pressure.”

“No. Are you okay. Don’t mind. Let’s go.”

If Han Kyul ends up with someone he likes, we won’t be able to live like this anymore, right?

Why does the way back home feel so short today?

Is it because I thought it might be the last time?

Eventually, we got to the point where we parted ways without having any conversation.

“Then Gyeol-ah. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Ah… Hey Eunha, wait!”

“Huh? Why?”

“No, I mean… “

Hangyul took something from her bag that was slung behind her.

She took out something beautifully packaged and carefully handed it to me.

I tilted her head after being handed over in silence.

Han Kyul said while scratching her cheek.

“Isn’t that White Day? No, I was going home yesterday, just for real! A chocolate making set caught my eye! It didn’t look difficult, so I made it vigorously, but since this is the first time in my life, it mixes with water and tasteless! I’m going to take it out after freezing it in the freezer, so I’m blown away-! And break it! So the shape is kind of… Strange. But the taste is really good?! I’ve tried a few and they taste really good! No, of course, rice cakes that are visible are good to eat, but the taste is guaranteed! Originally, I was going to give you this rather than the one I bought at the store, but… The shape is a piece of sh*t..”

Han Gyul was very embarrassed and was explaining to me.

This is the first time I’ve seen Hangyul so embarrassed.

Perhaps it was very embarrassing.

And you must have been hesitating.

I guess I’ve been waiting for the moment to hand it to you since lunchtime, or maybe ever since I came to school.

So today, Han Kyul is the only one thinking about me at school.

I don’t know if I can think like that.

But I want to be mistaken like that.

I want to conclude that Han Kyul has been thinking of me all day.

I thought I would be very happy if you thought about it for me.

My heart…Started beating.

Kongdakdak? Pounding? Thump thump?

It was a wild heartbeat that no words can describe.

In the end, I had no choice but to hold the chocolate Han Kyul gave her to her chest and bow her head.

My cheeks were so hot that I could feel the heat.

Because I can’t hide the feelings I have at all.

Because I realized that this feeling is love.

I can never show my face right now.
