76. As a friend (2)

1.

Young people are usually rude.

It’s not because I have a bad temper, it’s just that I don’t know anything.

Because they don’t have enough social experience to learn great manners.

Still, I was a polite person and I am confident that I was a kind person.

If you have any problems…… There weren’t many kids like me.

If I had to pick one of the most memorable events during my elementary school days, it would be changing seats in the lower grades.

The guy selected as my mate was a pretty popular boy.

I wasn’t very interested in the opposite s*x, but I still tried to have a friendly conversation.

‘Hey… Bye……….’

‘Ahh!’

‘?’

‘Teacher! Min Ah-rin rang the suho!’

‘Suho! Are you okay?!’

‘Hey! Why do you ring Suho!’

After that, a guy named Suho drew a line saying not to cross the desk.

Oh……. f*ck man. No. Not a f*cking guy

I didn’t mean to curse.

Anyway, I’ve been through a lot of similar, if not identical, things.

Because this guy’s appearance always leaves a bad impression on people seeing him for the first time, he hasn’t had many good relationships with him.

Anyway, I was a person with high self-esteem, and I eventually made friends.

My appearance has always given me a hard time.

There was nothing different about high school.

I know that my homeroom teacher always looked at me suspiciously, and I know that I didn’t get a good evaluation among boys.

My current friends didn’t treat me so comfortably from the beginning.

After living for 17 years, there were very few people who approached me without paying attention to my appearance.

And narrowing down the criteria to children of the same age, only Han Seung-gi fell into that category.

At first, I was honestly suspicious, and I also had doubts about what the problem was. In the end, it was a futile worry.

Han Seung-gi never cared about my appearance.

It wasn’t that I had a favorable or unfavorable feeling because of my appearance, it was as if my appearance was excluded from the criteria for evaluating me.

Even in the realm of study, Han Seung-gi had no prejudice.

I have been misunderstood as a bully all my life, and I was born into a person who prefers sports.

The important thing for a student was grades, but it was unreasonable to prove myself with grades. Every time that happened, the misunderstanding about me grew.

Let’s prove my ability through exercise. Except for my family, I didn’t care much.

Aside from my family, the only person who praised my intellectual ability was Han Seung-gi.

I remember probably during club time.

He recommended me books related to physical education that I could enjoy reading and that would make use of my abilities. I didn’t hold back my praise even after reading my book report.

The memory still lingers in my head.

It may be a trivial memory, but it was quite a shocking experience for me.

I didn’t even say anything nice to hear.

I wasn’t a person with that kind of personality, and he even sacrificed his time to help me with my studies in order to make use of my abilities.

I don’t think even my family expected good grades from me. Didn’t you believe me until the end?

Sure. It can be said that the midterm exam was the first moment in which I proved my abilities.

Well, the words are long. That was what I wanted to say.

Han Seung-gi is a very important person to me.

While running to meet Han Seung-gi, I seriously thought about whether I was pitying him.

Of course, he felt pitiful and sympathetic.

Didn’t he have circumstances that made it inevitable?

It seemed that he didn’t want to receive sympathy, but it was a really miserable life to respect such thoughts.

However, going to see Han Seung-gi now wasn’t just because something happened to the ‘poor’ person.

To put it bluntly…….

You can also say that you worry about your precious friend.

It can also be said to be a reward for the mental stability that Han Seung-gi gave me.

I’m not here to show sympathy. It was a way to repay the favor.

2.

We didn’t talk much when we met Han Seung-gi, and we decided to move after having an awkward time.

I came to the nearby playground and sat on the swing now.

To be honest, I don’t know what to say.

I’m not even angry because I was shocked.

It just feels like my mind has gone blank.

Han Seung-gi’s face seemed to be problematic at first glance.

It was clear that he had been through something, and it seems that he was clumsily trying to erase the traces.

Of course I didn’t hear what happened.

Han Seung-gi never opened his mouth about it, and since it came out so stubbornly, I couldn’t dig further into it either.

I heard that you weren’t harmed by anyone.

That didn’t seem like a lie.

If you ask me how I classified it…… It just felt that way.

Recently, my eyesight has improved considerably, so I was able to grasp Han Seung-gi’s feelings to some extent.

And even though he’s a man, he’s probably stronger than most women.

By the way, I didn’t think anything bad had happened.

Simply being harmed isn’t a bad thing, is it?

Aside from that scar, there was a faint melancholy in his usual voice.

Other people might not be able to tell the difference if they heard it, but I could easily feel it.

Han Seung-gi drew a line.

It was different from the line drawn for other kids, but it was a line that I couldn’t cross as a friend.

Forcibly penetrating it would only open up the other person’s wounds, and I had no intention of forcing myself to look into it.

Well, even if I had such a thought, I don’t have the ability to break through that line.

Still. Friends have their own domain.

That area is a little wider open to the existence of a best friend.

I decided to do the best I could.

It may not be possible to dig into the wound and treat it fundamentally, but emergency treatment is possible.

I am a woman with that level of ability.

“Han Seung-gi.”

“Why?”

“Can I go over to your house today?”

“At this time? It’s nighttime?”

“I paid for the lodging the other day. You can sleep.”

I felt ashamed even as I spoke.

To think so confidently that he would sleep in a house where a man lives alone.

Still, I gritted my teeth and endured it.

What if you cringe?

Friends are more important than that.

It wasn’t something I could back off from.

I felt like if I sent Han Seung-gi home alone like this, I wouldn’t see much good results.

“Ah… That motel fee?”

From noble mtl dot com

“No, that’s… Well…”

“Okay. You can go to bed.”

Well, I’m not going to do anything special.

It’s obvious that doing great things will only backfire.

Just spending a comfortable time with the two of us will be enough.

I think it would be nice to watch a movie on my cell phone.

3.

Min Ah-rin’s thoughts were roughly understandable.

She could get a rough idea of her expression and behavior.

At first, I was a bit worried.

I wonder if you called Min Ah-rin to get help like this.

Is it right to get help from a woman when you can’t overcome trivial adversity?

Is it right for a 26-year-old guy to be comforted by a high school student for being depressed?

Still, I’ve decided to just accept it.

You can’t act like an adult forever, even though you’re a minor anyway.

Now, the time to cling to the past has passed.

I have to live for three years as a high school student anyway, so wouldn’t it be bad to act like a high school student?

Now that I am at ease, it feels like the things that happened until now are being diluted.

No, it’s not just because of a change in mindset……. Min Ah-rin’s existence was also great.

She’s a guy you can always appreciate.

I’ve never had anyone pay attention to me like that.

We walked together, and after a while we were able to arrive in our neighborhood.

We also talked roughly about what to do today, but rather than come up with great content like when we slept over at Min A-rin’s house on Saturday, we decided to just watch a movie together.

“Han Seung-gi, is there a convenience store in the neighborhood?”

“That’s enough. Why?”

“I wanted to buy a snack. It’s fun to have something while watching a movie.”

It’s like getting a movie or a snack in the end.

Because I’ve decided to feel a little more comfortable about that now.

I received 500,000 won the other day.

So I guided Min Ah-rin to her convenience store.

The moment she stepped into her convenience store, she freaked out and hit her back.

I could vaguely see a part-timer through the glass, because the part-timer I bought cigarettes for was standing there.

I’m wearing my school uniform right now, but if I enter a convenience store in this state…….

I don’t think bad things will happen, but good things will definitely never happen.

I took off my school uniform shirt and stuffed it into my bag.

You won’t find out that you’re a student with only one pair of pants, and the white T-shirt you wear every day on top. This would be fine

Min Ah-rin just said that she had circumstances, and she didn’t ask any further.

Then, we stepped into a convenience store.

“Welcome… Uh, Seung-gi? It’s been a long time… Uh…. Next to…”

“Hello. Han Seung-gi’s friend… Yes.”

“Chi, friend?”

Why does that sister look like that again?

Is it because of Min Ah-rin’s face?

Blonde… , In a slightly arch-like atmosphere… , A slightly shady smile….

Um.

There are many people who are afraid of Min Ah-rin.

But if you work part-time here, you will meet all kinds of people. Why are you reacting like that to us?

My clothes may be a bit sensational by reverse world standards, but I wear them like this when I go to buy cigarettes.

It looked like he was in shock rather than afraid of something.

Anyway, it wasn’t particularly important.
