Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love chapter 44

44 – Summary: Chapter 44

＜1＞

Hangyul’s expression was different from usual.

It would be unreasonable to ask them to explain in detail how they were different.

Should I call it a woman’s intuition?

I felt something hard to explain.

It was the same even when I tried to recall the expression of Han Kyul back then.

But he seemed upset somewhere.

That’s right, Han Kyul is also human, so there’s no way that he’ll be in a good mood every day and every moment.

There will be days when you feel depressed for no reason, and there will be days when your emotions are shaken over nothing.

It’s perfectly natural.

On the contrary, it’s even more strange that I haven’t seen Han Kyul like that.

She didn’t always smile brightly, but she was like a calm lake.

I thought about what would make Han Kyul like that angry, but I couldn’t guess.

I want to know, but Han Kyul seemed to have trouble speaking, and I didn’t want to force him to speak either.

She doesn’t want to force ‘because she’s a girlfriend, you have to tell me’ through her status as a girlfriend.

She doesn’t like measuring distance from someone by how much she knows about them.

She does, but she still wants to talk.

It’s correct not to ask if you think about it rationally, but if you approach it emotionally, I want you to tell me first.

However, this is my greed to confirm that I am a special person to Hangyul.

I didn’t want to make it difficult for Han Kyul with my greed.

During PE class, I sat on the bench and had a conversation with Han-gyeol, but it was a normal conversation.

Even while we were talking, Han Kyul seemed to keep thinking about something in his head.

What if I just made things more difficult for Han Kyul by saying that?

It could have been my mistake, but I’m sorry that I made you worry about it.

Eventually, after PE class, Harim and I were on our way to change into her gym clothes.

“No, no. God Eunha.”

Someone called my name in the hallway.

Turning around to check her face, she was an unexpected person.

Maybe he wasn’t a good person in the current situation.

“Kang Seo-ha. Why?”

You have to be a little careful.

The other person seems to be careful too.

“I’m sorry. Can I talk to you for a minute?”

“If it’s not urgent or important, can’t we do it later? I have something to do right now.”

I decided that Han Kyul should be by my side now.

But unexpected words leaked from his mouth.

“It’s about Lee Hangyul… Can’t we?”

I flinched for a moment.

The two met only twice.

On the first day of the semester, once in the hallway.

Once while playing basketball.

That’s all, but it was a little strange that there was something to talk about.

I said with a questioning look.

“Why is Han Kyul’s name mentioned?”

“No. Somehow I got into an argument with Lee Hangyul.”

“What-? When? Maybe during lunch?”

“Yes. Wait in the bathroom during lunch break.”

Nonsense.

Why the hell?

“Could you elaborate? Harim. Wait a minute, I’ll talk to you. Can you put my gym uniform in the seat?”

“Yes. Go.”

“Yes. Please don’t talk to Han Kyul for now.”

I hurriedly handed over the gym clothes to Harim and headed to the end of the hallway.

I didn’t want Han Kyul to find out that I was talking to another guy.

I reached the end of the hallway and asked straight away.

“Can you tell me? What do you mean by quarreling with Han Kyul?”

“Are you dating Lee Hangyul for now?”

“Yes. But why?”

“There was a bit of an argument about that.”

“What’s there to argue about that? There’s nothing special between the two of you.”

The more we talked, the more I couldn’t understand.

“That’s… I’m sorry. I think I made a mistake. But I didn’t mean to either.”

“Can you be specific? Han Kyul is angry at anyone. I never saw him get angry in the first place.”

“That… To be honest, I was a little worried about Eunha. It’s been a while since I knew Eunha, but she said she’s dating Eunha.”

In an instant, my eyebrows furrowed.

But it was over for now.

It’s not too late to judge after hearing the story.

“So? What did you say to Han Kyul?”

“I’m just a little worried as a friend… so please take good care of Eunha. I said to make you happy.”

“What?!”

She immediately understood why Han Kyul was in a bad mood.

She gets angry when other guys say that about how long she’s been dating.

And maybe… Really maybe… Because he was strong for saying that, Han Kyul could have been more angry. She

She’s not sure, and she’s never spoken to the subject herself, but… Maybe she does.

“Why did you tell Han Kyul that way? She doesn’t even know about Han Kyul.”

That made me even more angry.

I thought I just had to be careful.

But I think I was wrong.

Even though I’m not the only one to be careful.

“No. I am-“

I raised my voice a little.

“You were worried about me? Then you should have asked me first, not Hankyul. What kind of person is Han-gyeol? What do I think of Hankyul? You should have asked me first. Why did you do that? I do not understand. From her point of view, Han Kyul must have been suddenly interfering with someone she didn’t even know well. Why didn’t she think of that?”

I looked at Kang Seo-ha with a bit of resentment.

“Eunha. It’s not that I’m just worried.”

“Right now, you and I are not in a relationship where we worry so much. It can be because others don’t know. But because it’s you, I don’t understand more. Maybe you and I should be more careful? Think about changing your position. If you and Jeongyeon are dating well and a boy you don’t know well asks you to be nice to Jeongyeon, would you feel good?”

“We’re friends. We’ve known each other for years.”

“No matter how much it is. I shouldn’t have said that much. How…You said that? You, the person in charge? Even if it wasn’t meant to be, it was very rash.”

“…”

We should have become strangers someday.

I was thinking of moving away slowly, but I didn’t know it would turn out this way.

I didn’t want to say anything that hurt others.

I just thought it would be okay to move away slowly, and I thought that was the best choice.

But if my hesitation, if the relationship I didn’t solve gets in the way of me and Hankyul in the future… I can’t help it.

I opened my heavy mouth because I know what is desirable and what is most important to me right now.

“Just- it was difficult to say clearly and I thought it would be okay to slowly move away from you, but now that it’s like this, I’ll tell you clearly. I can’t help it even if I think it’s sad.”

I was a little taken aback by Kang Seo Ha’s words.

But I kept talking.

“It’s right for us to keep our distance. You, me, and Jeongyeon. Even for Hankyul’s sake, it’s right. It’s a different story if you and I get hurt or worried because of what happened in the past. There’s no need to apologize to Han Kyul. I’ll leave. This is what I just said. I said it emotionally, but I didn’t say it out of anger. Let’s go. Next Be careful from now on.”

“No. Wait a minute. What’s the right way to cut it like this?”

As I was about to pass by, Kang Seo-ha spoke to me.

The longer the conversation went on, the more anxious I became.

Because I felt guilty even talking to him right now.

In response to his words, I spoke more firmly.

“You have to cut it right. Han Kyul is always sincere to me. I don’t want to lie even a little bit to him. I also want to be sincere with Han Kyul.”

“It’s not like you. You’re not like this. What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? Is it right to act like this all of a sudden?”

“It won’t change anything if you say that. I don’t hate myself for acting like this now, I think it’s right.”

“No. You’re not such a sharp kid.”

“Yes, it wasn’t. But now, Han Kyul is more precious to me than I am. I want to repay at least half of what Han Kyul has done for me, and I want to make Han Kyul feel the same feeling of being loved now. That’s why I’m doing this now. It’s not good for Jeongyeon or Hankyul to have a conversation between the two of them. I’ll leave. You talk well to Jeongyeon too. Be well. I’ll be fine too.”

I passed Seoha Kang and headed back to my classroom.

There is no time to be swayed by the past.

I decided to only think about the time I would spend with Han Kyul in the future.

There is no room for anything else in my head right now.

As soon as I arrived at the classroom, I found Hangyul.

It was Hankyul who was still sitting there blankly.

“Hangyeol-ah.”

There’s not much time left to take a break.

I quickly organized the words that remained in my head.

“Huh?”

“I handled it well.”

“Suddenly? Did something happen?”

“Yeah- not at all. Anyway, I handled it well!”

“Did you bury someone in the mountain behind you?”

“No! Still, there will be nothing more for Han-gyeol to worry about. I behaved well.”

“So what?”

Isn’t this what it is?

I thought about it a bit more.

“Don’t pay attention to what others say. Thanks to Hankyul, I’m already very happy. So, I will make you happy too.”

Hangyul looked at me in a daze.

Looking into Han Kyul’s slightly dazed eyes, he said it properly.

“I’m only watching Hankyul properly. I really only like Hangyul.”

As soon as I clenched my fists and said, the class bell rang.

“Did you understand what I said? Then see you after class.”

I quietly returned to my place.

Could it have been conveyed properly? Did I express myself properly?

I hoped that my thoughts were conveyed properly.
