Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love chapter 51

51 – Episode 51: The Pursuit

＜1＞

The midterm exams are right around the corner.

I have to focus on my studies, but my head is now full of galaxies.

“Hey Gyul. What do you think? What’s wrong?”

“Is it right to mention something my girlfriend would be ashamed of?”

“It was a love story, right? I just asked It makes me want to turn back time.”

Eunha must have mistaken that I was sleeping, but I was awake from the moment Eunha poked my cheek.

Because of Eunha’s confession of love that still lingered in my ears, my mind was far away from everyday life.

When I recalled that moment, I could hear Eunha’s voice clearly.

Shall I honestly say that I was awake?

I want to see Eunha’s shy expression.

“Ah, I’m really worried.”

“If you have any concerns, just tell me. You’re not the kind of person who puts up with things like that.”

“You understand me better than I thought.”

“Is there anything that bothers you?”

“I am ashamed to even bring it up.”

“Binaida…Vinaida…Give me the ability to turn back time. Or erase my memory for one minute.”

If you ask me if I love Eunha, she sure does.

In my heart, I wanted to tell you that I love you a thousand or ten thousand times.

But it took a lot of courage to utter those words of only three syllables.

Honestly, I never imagined that those words would come out of Eunha’s mouth first.

Eunha, who is bad at expressing herself… How could such a Eunha say that she loves her first?

That made me even more excited.

“Ha- Eunha is so lovely. I want to get married as soon as I graduate. I want to make you happy.”

“Bina! It’s raining! Punish my best friend for salting! Or give me a weapon to punish this friend!”

Even though he couldn’t support my earnest wish, it was Eugene who cursed me.

“Stop cursing and come up with a solution on how to deal with my feelings.”

“Don’t you think that’s too logical a statement for someone who can deal with emotions?”

“Is there any good solution? My grades are at risk if I keep holding on to this feeling.”

“What kind of bullsh*t is that?”

“I can’t study because I think about Eunha. This is enough of a sergeant. They say there is no medicine for lovelords.”

“I won’t tell you what the specifics are.”

“Sorry. I want to keep it as a memory that only Eunha and I know.”

“Then you just do the same. I can only say this.”

“Same? Aren’t you childish?”

“What is childish? An eye for an eye.”

It may seem like a childish approach, but it felt good.

I secretly looked towards Eunha, but Eunha was laughing and talking with Jeong Ha-rim.

“It was a good solution.”

“So easy? Why did you ask?”

“I couldn’t think of anything other than the galaxy.”

Yes. If you keep looking at the galaxy today, the chance to say I love you will come at least once.

I was determined, but I didn’t have a chance until school was over.

Maybe it was because the midterm exams were just around the corner, Eunha sat next to me and studied hard.

You seem to be working particularly hard today, but is it because of your mood?

“Hey, Han Kyul. I can still feel your eyes on me. Is there any problem you don’t know about?”

It was a very serious problem.

Shall I just tell you now?

But when that happened, I had to show a shy expression to Eunha.

“No. I just saw Eunha because I wanted to see her face.”

“I’m happy to say that, but that’s not okay. Right now next week is the midterm, so let’s study now.”

“It’s straight. Eunha, are you not sleepy? Like being tired or wanting to close your eyes for a while.”

“Not at all? Didn’t we end the call early yesterday and go to bed?”

If I had known it would be like this, I would have stayed up late.

“Did Han Kyul go to sleep after studying more? Studying too late will hurt you.”

“No. I went to bed early too. I just said it because I suddenly wanted to see Eunha sleeping..”

“What is that? It’s quite embarrassing to see me sleeping, so don’t miss me.”

“I heard it was cute, but what?”

“Ah- I saw it when I was sick.”

“It was cute as always.”

When I said I was cute, Eunha smiled and liked it.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“Aren’t you ashamed to say you’re cute now?”

“Yes. Now, when Han Kyul says he’s cute, it makes me happy. It was embarrassing at first, but now it’s okay.”

“Personally, I like the way Eunha is shy. I miss you often.”

“Then embarrass you. Now, even if Han Kyul praises me, I just like it rather than being embarrassed.”

I think I’ll run out of the classroom right away if I say I love you.

For now, I decided to put it on hold and look at the situation.

“Then try embarrassing yourself?”

“Yes. I’m not ashamed of anything anymore.”

“You are confident. I know what to say.”

“No matter what I say, I won’t be ashamed.”

“Since Eunha says that, it makes me want to come.”

“If you are confident, try it?”

I threw lightly at first.

“Eunha is pretty.”

“Good.”

“Eunha is cute.”

“I like that too.”

Rather than being shy, Eunha changed her posture and sat down and looked straight into my eyes.

“I think Han Kyul is rather shy?”

For some reason, I felt like I was stopping him.

“When did you become so bold?”

“Because Hangyul is special, I want to treat him a little differently from others.”

“How do you treat others differently?”

“I just want to be honest with Hangyul.”

“Can’t you be honest with others?”

“Yes. I feel more comfortable with Han Kyul than anyone else. So I can be more honest and I want to express more.”

“Then express it when you are awake.”

“Yes. Expression when awake… Huh?”

Ah- I shouldn’t have said this.

“Hangyeol-ah? What did you just say?”

“What did I just say?”

“I told you to express it when you are awake.”

“Yes. I mean literally.”

“Then why did you think of that?”

I kept my mouth shut at Eunha’s question.

Eunha’s expression quickly hardened.

“Are you awake?”

I nodded cautiously.

“Since when?”

“Since the galaxy stabbed my cheek.”

“I see…”

Unexpectedly, Eun-ha looked away calmly.

“Did you hear everything?”

“Yes.”

“I’m asking for confirmation, do you know what I’m talking about?”

“Yes.”

“What is the probability that what I think is different from what Han Kyul thinks?”

“You have to hit a lot, about 1%.”

Eunha stood up without a word at my answer.

And after that, he let out a long breath.

“Is it Eunha? Why are you getting up?”

“Hangyeol-ah…”

“Yes.”

“Sorry!”

Eun-ha rushed out of the classroom.

I chased after the galaxy that ran away recklessly.

“Hey Eunha! Where!”

“Don’t chase me!”

“He said he wasn’t ashamed!”

“How can you not be ashamed of that!”

“That’s what Eunha said!”

“That’s why it’s even more embarrassing!”

“Don’t run because it’s dangerous!”

“Then don’t come after me!”

I was worried that Eunha would get hurt as she ran down the stairs three steps at a time.

If I actually stumbled like this, it would have been a major accident.

In the end, as Eunha said, I stopped chasing and sent her away.

And at that level, I didn’t think I could catch it even if I sprinted.

“What is so fast?”

Eventually, I slowly came down the stairs and came out of the building to find the galaxy.

I thought I couldn’t have gotten that far, but I couldn’t find it easily.

I checked the playground and cafeteria, but Eunha was nowhere to be seen.

After wandering outside the building for a while, the separate collection point caught my eye.

As I slowly and carefully approached the separate collection point, I could faintly feel the presence of people.

“Eunha. Come out when you say something nice.”

I gave it a chance, but the galaxy never came out.

“There won’t be any cat popping out like in movies or dramas, so give up and come out.”

After saying this, the galaxy cautiously revealed itself.

Clearly, even though time had passed, her face was still red.

She was glaring at me with her cheeks full of air, perhaps feeling heartache.

“It’s too much!”

Eun-ha looked grumpy.

Still, she seemed to have no intention of running away.

Well, after running at full speed like that, I don’t think I’ll have more strength left to run.

“That was what Eunha said while I was sleeping. “

“Yeah, that’s true, but…! Heard… But he didn’t even answer…!”

I knew a way to relieve the slightly pouting galaxy.

It’s a sure way, but when I actually put it into action, I felt ashamed.

Still, I also wanted to fully convey my heart to Eunha.

“Me too…”

“Huh?”

“I love you too.”

My face burned with difficulty as I spat out the words.

In the end, I had no choice but to let out a long breath.

“It’s a galaxy.”

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry too!”

I too could not stand the shame and ran away.

As soon as I ran away, the galaxy immediately followed me.

“Hangyeol-ah, where are you going! At there!”

“It’s impossible!”

“I got hurt while running like that!”

“Don’t chase me!”
