Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love chapter 43

43 – Episode 43: Honest Feelings

I was having lunch with Eunha.

“Hangyeol-ah. I’m going to eat and go to the store with Harim, so I think Han Kyul will have to be alone. Are you okay?”

“Then it’s fine. I will be studying in the classroom during lunchtime. Don’t mind.”

“What should I buy for you when you get back from the store? Shall I buy you lamb? Or cider?”

“Um- I don’t think I need it because I’m going to brush my teeth.”

“Yes. Then I will come empty-handed.”

“Yes.”

After I finished eating, I came out of the cafeteria.

It was a bit unfortunate that each of us walked in different directions, but it can’t be helped.

Just because you’re a girlfriend doesn’t mean you have to stick around all day.

Coming up to the classroom alone, I took out a toothbrush and toothpaste from the locker.

After squeezing some toothpaste on my toothbrush, I headed straight to the bathroom.

I thought the bathroom would be empty because I ate lunch early.

I ran into a guy I didn’t want to run into the most.

“Ah-“

The other person turned his head to me at the words I spat out briefly.

Kang Seo-ha came to brush her teeth just like me.

“Ah- it was Lee Hangyul, right?”

“Oh. It’s the first time I’ve seen you since playing basketball.”

“Are you okay with that injury?”

“Never mind. It could be while working out.”

You don’t know that I’m dating Eunha yet?

Just- the moment I thought that, Kang Seo-ha said.

“I heard you were dating Eunha?”

You kindly call someone else’s girlfriend by name.

Since we’ve been childhood friends for a long time, should I watch it?

“Oh. How did you know?”

“My math teacher told me in class.”

“Are you talking about it in another class? It’s troublesome.”

“You told me in great detail.”

“I see. I’m dating anyway.”

When I answered, Kang Seo-ha looked into my eyes.

It wasn’t a cool look, but it seemed that he was worried.

“Hasn’t it been a while since she got to know Eunha?”

“It’s been a little over a month now since the new semester started.”

“I didn’t even know her originally, and it’s not easy to do that in a month. That’s interesting.”

“Because it doesn’t take a long time to like someone.”

I couldn’t quite figure out what he was thinking.

But I felt like I was sharpening my edge somewhere.

Is it because of the mood?

“Where is the galaxy?”

“It’s a topic we could talk about all day. I don’t know if it will be okay.”

“I would appreciate it if you could tell me implicitly.”

“You are pretty and cute. Kind.”

“The galaxy is not like that.”

“By the way, I know we’re close, but can’t we call each other with sarcasm?”

I said it as politely as possible, but I also sharpened my edge a bit.

At my words, Kang Seo-ha was taken aback – although she was surprised, she quickly returned to her original expression.

It’s natural for my girlfriend to be concerned about the man she used to like.

“Ah- sorry. Stop sticking to your mouth.”

It’s stuck in your mouth.

Unknowingly, I clenched my teeth.

Don’t worry about it now.

Let’s pass it as coolly as possible.

But I’m a little pissed off.

“It can be. Just be careful in the future.”

If you think of Kang Seo-ha in the original work, he is a guy with an upright mind.

I feel negative because I am in my position. Objectively, he’s a good boy.

To Kang Seo-ha, Eun-ha is a childhood friend she has known for a long time.

Although they are far apart now, the time they spent together cannot be denied.

I’m jealous, but I can’t make the time the two of us have was wasted.

“Make Eunha happy. Because she is a very lonely child. I want you to stop ringing.”

At the words Seoha Kang spat out, my eyebrows furrowed without my knowledge.

Anyway, isn’t what I just said a bit over the line?

If you think about Kang Seo-ha’s personality and the times Kang Seo-ha and Eun-ha shared, you may be curious about who Eun-ha is dating, or you may be worried as a friend.

But that doesn’t mean you can reveal it like this.

“Why do I have to listen to you like that?”

“What?”

“I don’t know why I had to hear the same thing just now.”

Seoha Kang seemed a bit surprised when I showed my hostility.

“I am only worried about Eunha as a friend. She’s dating someone she wasn’t very old with or even close with.”

“In terms of my relationship with Eunha, you are just an outsider who has nothing to do with me. I think it’s a bit meddlesome for you to say that.”

“Aren’t you reacting too sensitively? I thought it was something I could say as a friend of Eunha.”

“If Eunha’s same-s*x friends or family had said it, they would have thought so. But aren’t you different?”

Because you rejected Eunha’s confession before.

She endured these words with great difficulty, which rose to the tip of her chin.

Does she think that her intentions are justified because they are good?

Maybe she thought it was okay to say it because she was selfless to worry about her childhood friend.

Even if the essence was good, it was not something a guy who had already weighed his feelings and made a decision between Yang Jeong-yeon and Eun-ha would say.

“To make the galaxy happy? Uh. Of course you will. Because it’s more important for me that Eunha is happy than my own happiness. That would be the case even if you didn’t tell me… I’d appreciate it if you don’t cross the line and don’t care.”

Kang Seo-ha kicked away the chance to make Eun-ha happy.

He said as if warning Kang Seo-ha.

“More than anything, you can’t make Eunha happy. I don’t even deserve it.”

It was clear that he was surprised by my words.

I ended up leaving the bathroom without brushing my teeth.

I reacted a little emotionally, but I have no regrets.

I was still in a bad mood, but when I entered the classroom, Eunha was sitting in my seat.

“Hangyeol-ah. Did you brush your teeth?”

I didn’t want to show a bad side to Eunha for no reason.

I approached Eunha with a bright smile.

“Yes. I’m gone.”

As I sat next to Eunha, Eunha tilted her head.

“What’s up?”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

I thought I hid my expression properly, but I couldn’t figure out why those words came out.

“Hangyeol’s expression is a bit different from usual. I’m tired?”

I felt a bit of remorse because I felt like I was hiding something from Eunha.

Still, I thought it would be better not to talk about Kang Seo-ha to Eun-ha.

“I think it was because I slept a little late yesterday. Don’t mind.”

“Um- yeah? If this is the case, then It’s gym for the 5th period, so I have to change into my gym clothes.”

“Oh right. I forgot. I should have brushed my teeth and changed.”

“It can be. Come on, let’s change.”

Eunha was wearing a gym suit and smiling brightly.

Carefully pinched Eunha’s cheek.

“Huh? Why?”

I spoke softly to Eunha, who was looking at me without a word.

I don’t think I’ve ever said it properly.

“I will make you happy.”

“Go, suddenly?! No, thank you, but…!”

“I just wanted to talk.”

“I am already happy enough.”

“Then I will make you happier.”

“Yes…! But wouldn’t that be something to say in that classroom?”

Eunha lowered her head in shame.

Behind the galaxy, there were classmates staring at me as if they were going to kill me.

“Is this a school or heaven?”

“For now, my heart is like hell.”

“The sword in my hand is the yam.”

“Combinedly, it’s hellish.”

“But why are we crying…”

What kind of drip is that?

The place was not good.

I hurriedly packed the gym clothes I had put in my bag.

“Eunha. Let’s go change into gym clothes.”

“Yes. OK. What are you doing in gym class today?”

“Really? I think I heard that it was called dodgeball or foot baseball.”

“Sorry. I can’t play basketball.”

“It is as you say.”

“Still, would you mind giving me free time?”

“Isn’t it? But today, instead of basketball, I have to play with Eunha.”

“Then it’s fine with me.”

It was a galaxy smiling happily.

“You smile so beautifully.”

“Thank you. It’s pretty when Hanyul smiles too.”

I was a little uneasy on the way back to the bathroom to change into my gym clothes.

It would be difficult to run into Kang Seo-ha again when I was with Eun-ha…

I’m dying of worry, but Eunha was staring at my face.

“Hangyeol-ah, isn’t something really going on?”

“Huh? Maybe you don’t like my expression that much?”

At my words, Eun-ha thought for a while before speaking.

“Um- that’s not true. I guess I’m worried.”

Is my expression that easy to read?

“Hangyeol-ah. I’m just saying it, so don’t take it too seriously.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“For me, Han Kyul is my girlfriend and Han Kyul is my boyfriend, but I think that there can be things that are difficult to say to each other. I don’t intend to force them to say it. So just tell them honestly that you’re in trouble. Right now, Han Kyul’s expression seems to be worried about something. That’s why I’m a little concerned and worried. These are my thoughts and these are my feelings.”

I was a bit surprised to see Eunha talking calmly.

Because it was very similar to what I said the other day.

“You don’t have to answer right away. It’s okay if you think about it some more and tell me. Then I’ll go in to change into my gym clothes.”

After saying that, Eunha went into the bathroom.

That’s what I said to Eunha the other day.

The words she said to Eunha, who avoided me for days after receiving the handmade chocolate.

I was the one who asked to be honest, but I also couldn’t be honest about every single thing.

“A little… Embarrassing.”
