by fnovelpiaTwo days passed since then, but Shin Yu-jin was nowhere to be seen.
Yerim said she decided to take a break from school until her menstrual cramps went away.
In the past, it was common for menstruation to take a break for a few days, so on the one hand, I think it’s a good thing.
I’m worried that he might be making an excuse because he doesn’t want to meet me.
Even though I know that I have the personality to say no when I don’t like it, this worry continues.
“Yoochan oppa.”
“Uh, Yerim.”
“Do you have a moment?”
“Yes, I have plenty of time. Why?”
“Talk to me for a moment. Because of Eugene’s work.”
“Yes, I understand.”
While I was sitting on a bench for a moment to gather my thoughts, Yerim Kim came up to me and spoke to me.
He always hangs around with Hojin, but since Hojin said he had some work to do today, he must have been waiting for Hojin alone for a while.
I think he was waiting and then he saw me and started talking to me.
“Eujin’s condition is improving a lot.”
“Really? Thank goodness.”
“It seems like you really regret what happened with your brother.”
“… regret? Eugene?!”
“Yes, I think she wants to apologize to her brother.”
My mind went blank for a moment.
It wouldn’t be strange at all if Shin Yu-jin tried to break off ties with me and refused to see my face anymore.
I can’t believe I’m regretting it. And even apples.
The moment I heard Yerim’s words, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief that came from deep within my heart.
A thought passed through my mind.
If Shin Yu-jin really regretted it and wanted to apologize, would there have been a reason for our relationship to be so bad before he returned?
Of course, I did something wrong, but assuming Shin Yujin would do the same, our relationship wouldn’t have deteriorated so much.
“I don’t know exactly what Yujin said to her brother, but Yujin has been having trouble controlling her emotions for a long time.”
“Oh, really?”
I already knew this, but I thought it was strange that I knew it, so I reacted as if I was hearing it for the first time.
“It doesn’t happen easily, but it piles up and it seems like it explodes once in a while.”
“I see.”
“Of course, I’m not asking you to understand this. Should I say this as a reference?”
“Yes, thank you for letting me know. I’ll keep this in mind when I talk to Eugene.”
“Yes, brother. Oh, and please don’t tell Eugene what I said.”
“Do you want to hide it?”
“Yujin said she would solve it on her own. Still, I was a little worried about something, so I told my brother this.”
My head was still full of questions, but in this conversation, I was able to get the conversation to go in the direction Kim Ye-rim intended.
To be honest, I’m a little scared.
Even though we were so emotional that day and said bad things to each other, the day I went to apologize, Shin Yujin got angry and kicked me out.
Also, there is no guarantee that something like that won’t happen again when you say you’re going to see Shin Yu-jin.
“I won’t talk about you when I talk to Eugene.”
“Yes, brother. Let’s solve it well with Eugene.”
“Yes, thank you. Is Eugene at home now?”
“Yes, I will be resting at home.”
Since there was no next class, I said hello to Kim Ye-rim and headed to Shin Yu-jin’s house.
Still, I wanted to hold on to one hope.
I hope that Shin Yu-jin will actually regret it and want to apologize to me.
While heading to Shin Yu-jin’s house, a porridge shop with an open door caught my eye.
Should I buy some porridge?
“Welcome.”
Shin Yu-jin’s favorite porridge…
“Please pack one crab meat porridge.”
“Yes, I understand. Please wait a moment.”
“Could you please give me a little more soybean paste?”
“Yes, I’ll give you three.”
“Thank you.”
After waiting a bit, I received the porridge and arrived in front of Shin Yujin’s house.
I thought the same situation would repeat itself if I rang the doorbell without any call first, so I called first this time.
but.
[After the beep sound because the customer did not answer the phone…]
I couldn’t hear Shin Yujin’s voice.
As expected, one hope was just a delusion.
There is no way Shin Yujin is thinking like that.
I hung the porridge I bought on the doorknob and walked home with a deep sigh.

“Eujin. Eugene?”
While I was sleeping in bed, I heard Yerim’s voice and woke up in a daze.
And when I went outside, Yerim, who had just returned from school, smiled warmly at me.
“Uh, are you here?”
“Were you sleeping?”
“Yes, I’m sleepy.”
“I guess I haven’t recovered yet.”
“Anyway, what do you have in your hand?”
“This? Was it hanging on the doorknob? Let’s see. To kill. That’s also crab meat porridge.”
If I were the one who would leave my favorite porridge hanging on the doorknob of my house.
Only one person comes to mind.
Han Yu-chan.
He probably came to my house without any contact and left the porridge hanging there.
If you’re here, ring the doorbell or at least call me.
“I guess Yu-chan oppa left it hanging.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
“Let’s eat this and cheer up.”
While Yerim was preparing the moderately cooled porridge, I sat down in the chair and chased away the drowsiness.
As I rested, a lot of my stomach pain disappeared and the emotions I felt returned to normal.
I feel like I can live a little better now that I finally no longer have the headache that has been bothering me for days on end.
“Eujin, eat porridge.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Oh my, look at you lost weight. I haven’t eaten properly for a few days, and I’ve lost all my weight.”
“Really? Doesn’t it look good?”
“He looks like a very sick person. I’m losing weight because there’s nowhere to lose.”
This is my first proper meal since I got sick.
The fact that the meal was porridge that Han Yu-chan bought made me laugh for no reason.
“Eujin, no matter how sick you are, you have to eat on time. Got it?”
“Yes, oppa!! Thank you for buying me porridge.”
“Our Eugene will lose weight right away if he doesn’t eat, so he must never starve.”
“How did you know that I like crab meat porridge and bought it for you?”
“I saw Eugene eating the other day. I bought it after seeing how delicious it was.”
Naturally, memories of good times passed through my mind.
Then, like now, he was a person who was very quick to notice one thing about me.
“What do you think about Yu-chan?”
“Huh?! Uh, how did you know?”
“I can see it just right. Looking at you smiling, I guess you were thinking about something good.”
“Did I laugh?”
“Yeah, the corners of his mouth are gradually rising?”
Since last time, emotions have come out without me being aware of it.
The whole reason was Han Yu-chan.
Does it mean that he still has feelings for Han Yu-chan?
“I also eat a lot of soybean paste. There are three.”
“That’s right. Why did I bring so much?”
“I must have shown the boss that I asked for more.”
After talking with Yerim and finishing the porridge, I went back to my room for a while and thought over my thoughts.
Now that my body is returning to normal, I can no longer ignore what needs to be resolved.
And when Han Yu-chan left the porridge hanging on the doorknob, a hypothesis passed through my mind.
I had expected that Han Yu-chan would no longer want to talk to me.
So I had no idea how to approach him.
However, with this action of bringing porridge, maybe Han Yu-chan is thinking differently than I thought.
There may still be opportunities left that you really hoped would remain.
“Yerim.”
“Yes, Eugene.”
“If I just wear clothes like this, it’ll be a bit like that, right?”
“Hmm… Yes, I think that happens a lot.”
“Does it look a bit like that?”
“Look in the mirror.”
After listening to Yerim, I looked at my reflection in the full-length mirror.
It is in such a state of desolation that it cannot be described as the appearance of a human being.
By skipping meals, not only did I lose weight and become thinner than before, but I also had severe dark circles on my face and dull hair.
If I went to meet him like this, I would think he was a zombie and run away.
“Are you going to meet Yu-chan?”
“Yes, I will meet you.”
“Then I will help you. Just wait.”
“How can I help you?”
“You know very well. I do makeup better than you. I’m especially good at applying makeup to others.”
“Please do me a favor, Yerim.”
After getting ready with help from Yerim, I looked at the mirror again.
It’s clear that Yerim’s makeup skills are better than mine, so now that she’s properly equipped, she’s finally in a state where she can be said to have a slightly more human appearance.
This should be fine.
“Phew… What makes me nervous?”
“It will be fine. Don’t be too nervous.”
“Yes, I understand.”
After completing all preparations to meet Han Yu-chan, I made a phone call before leaving.
Rather than going to his house without contacting him, I think it would be better to contact him in advance and let Han Yu-chan know in advance.
Of course, I thought Han Yu-chan would answer the phone.
[After the beep sound because the customer did not answer the phone…]
I couldn’t hear my voice.
All I could hear was empty electronic sounds.
