Chapter 86 What the Ex-Boyfriend Wanted [BAD END]

Honestly speaking, I can’t understand the current situation at all.

The unprecedented gate incident ended.
And somehow I suddenly rose to S-class Rank 1.

Moreover, they’re telling me to become president.

Somehow I even became a huge celebrity.

Really, the recent events are too hard to understand.

But that was nothing.

Something far more incomprehensible than that occurred.

“So-so-so-sor…”

Yoo Eun-ha who came to my house.

Eun-ha was now bowing her head to me.

Of course, I’m not unaware of what that head bow means.

Even though she hadn’t uttered the words “I’m sorry” yet, I couldn’t help but know that “I’m sorry” would be the next words.

Well, though it’s not certain of course.

One should always listen to people’s words until the end.

“I’m sorry…! Si-woo.”

As I thought…

Sure enough, Eun-ha uttered an apology.

Honestly speaking, it was very, really unexpected words.

“Umm…”

I couldn’t help but show some reluctance hearing those words.

Though “sorry” might be words one can hear often in life.

Actually that doesn’t apply to Eun-ha.

During the past 7 years I dated Eun-ha.

I had never once heard the words “sorry” from Eun-ha.

And I didn’t think I would hear them.

I never dreamed she would say such words, if it were anyone else maybe but not Eun-ha.

Because she was a woman with such strong pride.

“I see…”

Looking at it that way, seems she’s grown up a bit.

I don’t particularly harbor any resentment towards Eun-ha anymore anyway.

I accepted it calmly.

“But why…? Suddenly?”

“Because I want your forgiveness… won’t you forgive me?”

There wasn’t particularly anything I couldn’t forgive.

We even cleared a gate together recently.

There was nothing particularly bad about it.

“Really…? You’ll forgive me?”

“Hmm… yeah. Let’s be friendly from now on.”

I looked at Eun-ha, and Eun-ha looked at me.

Though she’s my ex-girlfriend, maybe slightly like a friend feeling.

Anyway it was that kind of feeling.

But.

“Th-Then Si-woo. Maybe… won’t you date me again?”

“Umm… that… probably won’t work.”

That kind of development still won’t work after all.

The words Eun-ha said to me with a hopeful expression.

I immediately refused after hearing those words.

They weren’t even worth listening to anymore.

“Anyway thanks. Let’s be friendly from now on.”

I tried to close the door just like that.

Because nothing good would come from talking more, I tried to draw the line.

But Eun-ha grabbed the door.

“Si-Si-woo. I’m sorry… I really did wrong.”

And started apologizing to me again.

As if very desperately.

“So… give me just one more chance. I’m begging like this… I’ll really… I’ll really do well.”

Eun-ha’s second apology received today.

But no matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t get used to this sight.

So though it’s a bit unfamiliar…

Anyway, I only have one answer to Eun-ha’s words.

“… Eun-ha. I’m sorry but… I don’t like you anymore.”

If this had happened about a month after breaking up with Eun-ha, I might have taken her back.

Honestly speaking, objectively thinking there’s nothing bad about getting back together with an ex-girlfriend.

I think I would have naturally taken her back if she just apologized.

But then and now are too different.

Back then I still liked Eun-ha somewhat.

But now, even seeing Eun-ha doesn’t stir any emotions.

“I can’t date someone I don’t even like.”

So this has to be my answer.

I can’t date someone I really don’t like.

My eyes looking at Eun-ha already couldn’t feel any sense of her as a lover.

“So. You should just meet someone else besides me. I think that would be better.”

I gave Eun-ha good advice.

When I first broke up with Eun-ha, I was sad too, but things worked out well in the end.

Meeting various people and such, I naturally forgot about Eun-ha.

Wouldn’t it be the same for Eun-ha?

That’s what I thought.

“… No… that won’t work.”

But Eun-ha shook her head.

And continued speaking with a trembling voice.

“It’s impossible…”

Tears were welling up in Eun-ha’s eyes as she looked at me.

“I… finally realized.”

And she speaks with overflowing emotions, putting her whole heart into it.

“Because I lost it, I finally realized…”

She spoke to me with all her sincerity.

“I did wrong. I really did wrong.”

Eun-ha knelt before me.

And pressed her head to the floor.

Dust got on Eun-ha’s clean silver hair.

Though it wasn’t a very clean floor.

Still Eun-ha didn’t care about such things.

She desperately begged for my forgiveness.

“I can’t do without you. Please… please give me a chance. I really like you so much…”

Tears burst from Eun-ha’s eyes.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Please… please don’t go.”

Her body trembling, she was asking me for a chance.

“Haah…”

I couldn’t help but sigh seeing such an Eun-ha.

Though I couldn’t explain in words why I was sighing.

Just felt stifling in many ways.

Seeing Eun-ha pressing her head to the ground begging like this.

The sight of her asking for another chance.

Seeing such an Eun-ha, I really…

I don’t know what feeling it is, but it was really like that.

So in a way I felt pity too.

If I had even a little feeling left for Eun-ha…

Seeing Eun-ha going this far, I would have definitely taken her back.

The me from not long ago would surely have done so.

“I already have many women besides you…”

But not anymore.

Saying again, I’ve completely let go of my feelings for Eun-ha.

Now I have many other women besides Eun-ha and.

Even if not for that, I don’t like Eun-ha anymore.

Therefore my answer can only be the same.

No matter what Eun-ha says to me.

“No… no…”

Eun-ha hearing my answer.

Eun-ha raised her head.

A face that couldn’t accept my answer at all.

A completely broken face.

Honestly it was too pitiful a face.

“Si-woo. I’m different. Different from other women.”

Eun-ha grabbed my legs.

And looking up at me, continued speaking with a trembling voice.

“My abilities are far greater compared to other women.”

“My social standing is great.”

“People lose their minds just looking at me…”

“I’m the best woman in the world…”

“Am I not, Si-woo?”

Eun-ha was speaking about herself while placing a hand on her chest.

“That’s right…”

I affirmed Eun-ha’s words.

Everything Eun-ha said was true.

Eun-ha really is an excellent woman, and there are no women better than Eun-ha in the world.

She is truly an amazing woman.

“Moreover my love is far heavier than other women’s. Don’t you think so…? I’ve even thrown away my pride for you now. Even that great pride.”

Hearing my affirmation, Eun-ha smiled.

With an expression somewhat filled with hope at my affirmative words, she asked me once again.

“That might be true. No… you’re right. You were a woman for whom pride was extremely important.”

I affirmed those words too.

That Eun-ha had thrown away her pride.

What this meant, I who had been by Eun-ha’s side for 7 years would know best.

Pride was that important to Eun-ha.

Eun-ha had given up what she could never give up.

She probably wanted to hold onto me that much.

I understand to some extent.

“Right…! Their love is too light compared to my love. Compared to them, my love is heavier than anyone’s. Because I’ve regretted once, I’m confident I won’t let go again. So please… just… let me stay by your side… please…”

Hearing my affirmative answer again, Eun-ha’s lips turned up again.

As if her emotions were heightened, her voice started getting louder.

And she waited so desperately for my positive answer.

“Eun-ha. Honestly speaking, everything you said is right. It might be light love.”

But. I could only look at such an Eun-ha with complicated feelings.

Honestly speaking, it might be true that it’s light love.

I don’t have that deep a relationship with either Reytana or Narin.

We were originally enemies, and even now I don’t particularly feel anything like tremendous love.

“But… that’s fine.”

But I don’t mind such light love.

“They won’t abandon me like you did.”

Even if it’s just light love, this was ultimately what mattered most.

“I never wanted such heavy love from you in the first place.”

What I wanted from Eun-ha was just one thing.

Eun-ha never gave me that until the end.

“I just wanted you to stay by my side.”

She just couldn’t stay together with me.

That’s why I don’t like Eun-ha anymore.

“Please… please…”

Eun-ha’s expression distorted.

And tears kept falling endlessly from her beautiful eyes.

“Take care.”

I turned away from such an Eun-ha, and went back into my house.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
