Hannah Yeon has always avoided clothes that are uncomfortable to move in.

    It may be because I exercised when I was young, but I couldn’t stand the feeling of my body being tied down.

    “Sigh… .”

    I want to take it off.

    As soon as she changed into her suit, Hanna Yeon thought about that and came out of the changing room with a small sigh.

    “Ah… .”

    The boss I met at the same time.

    The young female CEO, who seemed to be in her late twenties, froze in place when she saw Hanna Yeon.

    “… … ?”

    Hanna Yeon nodded silently, expressing her doubts.

    “Ah, nothing, nothing… !”

    However, the president, who had been standing still with his lips moving for a while, suddenly shook his head wildly and ran to the locker room where Iharu was.

    “Huh, huh?”

    “Do, I’m here to help you!”

    “Oh, no, I can wear it by myself!”

    “If it’s like this, you won’t be able to wear it until the end of the contest? Well, I’ll help you right away.”

    “Huh… Okay, wait a minute… That, that’s… .”

    The brief commotion in the locker room died down with the sound of an unidentifiable, strange voice.

    Wedding dress… .

    In Hanna Yeon’s mind, who was left alone like that, the image of Haru Lee in a wedding dress blooms incessantly.

    An A-line dress that isn’t as voluminous as an actual dress, but still has a nice shape.

    The shoulders and nape of their necks are clearly exposed… I guess they should have both worn suits.

    Looking back, I think it was a little too revealing. After all, a contest is about standing in front of others, so Hanna Yeon didn’t feel particularly pleased with Lee Haru wearing a dress.

    Although Hanna Yeon herself agreed because she wanted to see Haru Lee in a dress.

    When I come out of the locker room, I’ll tell you to change.

    Iharu would pout and ask why, but… no other method came to mind.

    At least something like a shawl to wear… .

    “Nayeon… !”

    The moment I got up to look for something to put on, someone suddenly poked his head inside the tent.

    Oh Hyun-seo waves her hand with a slight smile.

    Hanna Yeon frowned without realizing it, but soon erased the expression and approached Oh Hyeon Seo.

    “Why.”

    “I heard you can rest until the contest is over, but I thought I’d talk a little bit. Oh, is that a contest costume? It suits you well… .”

    Although she would have liked it a little if she had been complimented, Hanna Yeon didn’t even pay attention to her own clothes and just looked at Oh Hyun Seo.

    “There’s nothing to say.”

    “Um… I have a lot to talk about. Didn’t you tell me about your day in the third year of high school?”

    “You don’t have to do it.”

    Hanna Yeon didn’t pay much attention.

    It was partly because Oh Hyun-seo said something useless last time, but in the end, aren’t we seeing right next to us what kind of person Lee Haru is?

    Of course, he was curious about the story while he was away, but since he had realized from their conversation at the izakaya that Oh Hyun-seo wasn’t particularly interested in Lee Haru, he didn’t feel the need to respond.

    “Oh, really? Then… No, to be honest, I have something I want to discuss with you personally… .”

    But Oh Hyeon-seo did not back down.

    Also, Hanna Yeon couldn’t think of a reason to refuse the conversation that Oh Hyun Seo personally requested, not about Lee Ha Roo.

    “Only until the next day comes out.”

    “One day… I guess you like it a lot.”

    “… … .”

    When there was no answer for a while, Oh Hyun-seo felt puzzled and raised her head, and only then could she see Hanna-yeon, whose ears were slightly red.

    “No, should I say we’re close? Anyway, I guess we’re close because I like him. Let’s go for now. I won’t hold on for too long.”

    Oh Hyun-seo, who had dealt with many people over the years, was able to recognize it right away.

    The feelings that Hanna Yeon has for Haru Lee are probably not ones of intimacy.

    However, Hanna Yeon was unaware of it and there was no need for her to step forward and provoke her, so Oh Hyun Seo laughed it off and dragged Hanna Yeon out.

    “You know, what happened to Haru?”

    Oh Hyun-seo, who came out with Hanna Yeon, got straight to the point without hesitation.

    I realized this after seeing Iharu’s condition today.

    The person who is impatient is not them, but yourself.

    “None.”

    Also, Hanna Yeon’s attitude was incomparably colder than before.

    From what point on?

    Since we ate lunch together?

    Or is it because Iharu isn’t here with me? Well, it was okay when we met at the izakaya.

    “Is it because of my mood…? Lately, whenever I see you, you keep glaring at me with scary eyes… .”

    “You’re mistaken.”

    The conversation didn’t continue there.

    Confidence in Hannah Yeon’s voice.

    At the strangely firm answer, even Oh Hyun-seo couldn’t keep her smile and looked at Hanna Yeon’s face.

    “If you have nothing to say, go.”

    While Oh Hyun-seo remained silent for a moment and just observed, Hanna Yeon turned around as if she didn’t want to engage in the conversation even for a moment.

    The moment he saw that, an indescribable anger welled up inside Oh Hyun-seo.

    “Wait.”

    However, the way Oh Hyun-seo expressed her anger was an extremely rational way through calculation and situation.

    “Hanna Yeon, Hanna Yeon… ?”

    “The fun part is getting compliments from the groom as soon as you come out, but where did he go?”

    “shi, groom… I don’t really expect compliments… .”

    The sound of voices coming from inside the tent is getting closer.

    If things continue like this, Iharu will come out soon.

    Oh Hyun-seo grabbed Hanna Yeon’s hand and pulled it towards her with all her might.

    “… … .”

    No matter how good your athletic ability is, if your balance is suddenly disrupted, anyone will inevitably lose their center of gravity.

    Hanna Yeon, who was trying to move forward, also stumbled greatly, and Oh Hyun-seo put her arms around Hanna Yeon’s back and hugged her.

    “Hanna… … .”

    At the same time, Lee Haru, who had been looking for Hanna Yeon, came out.

    A voice that suddenly cut off as if it had been hit by something strong.

    Oh Hyun-seo couldn’t see Lee Haru’s expression. Not only was her back turned towards Lee Haru, but she was also leaning forward and pushing her face towards Hannah Yeon.

    But in Hanna Yeon’s eyes, Lee Haru was clearly visible.

    Black pupils that are getting bigger and bigger.

    The pitch-black eyes that had always shone with various emotions eventually became cold and without any light.

    Iharu turns around.

    And without even caring about the dress she had put on, she just started running somewhere.

    “Get out of the way.”

    Hanna Yeon pushed away Oh Hyeon Seo who was hugging her.

    We have to go after them right now.

    Iharu, who looked like a doll with its strings cut off, gave Hannayeon a sense of anxiety.

    “Mi, sorry… I think I might fall… .”

    “Okay, so get out of here.”

    Hanna Yeon’s gaze, which had been directed towards the slender back that was getting further and further away, lowered again and turned towards Oh Hyeon-seo.

    Why?

    Oh Hyun-seo did not let go of Hanna Yeon until the end.

    Instead, he suddenly began to speak with tears in his eyes.

    “That… The truth is… I, last time… Haru was the one who suggested it first… I managed to get them off somehow… But I was scared for some reason… When I rejected her, she suddenly went back… .”

    Words that appear here and there.

    Among them, not a single word truly spoke to Hanna Yeon.

    It’s not even worth listening to. It’s so unrealistic that it makes me laugh.

    Hanna Yeon, who just snickered, grabbed Oh Hyun Seo’s shoulder and pushed her away, then kicked the ground without hesitation.

    “Don’t go!”

    But this time, he was caught by Oh Hyeon-seo again.

    Hanna Yeon’s expressionless face suddenly showed genuine annoyance, and this time Oh Hyeon-seo, who was genuinely scared, couldn’t overcome her surging sadness and started sobbing.

    “Why… Why is it this day…?”

    How did it come to this?

    He hadn’t done anything wrong. At least when they first met in middle school, he just grew tired of Hanna Yeon’s indifference and grew distant.

    In fact, she was someone I wanted to become closer to more than anyone else. I liked Hanna Yeon’s bluntness that was hard to find in others.

    We’ve come too far back to regret it.

    However, no matter what happened, he could not accept the fact that Hanna Yeon cared so much about Lee Haru.

    “I’ve been known to be a rag since I was a student… and it hasn’t changed at all, even to me… Nayeon, aren’t you being fooled by something… ?”

    The corners of Oh Hyun-seo’s mouth distort.

    In that expression, which seemed mean at first glance, as if she was trying to hold back tears, Han Na-yeon felt Oh Hyun-seo’s sincerity that she had never encountered before.

    “I’m a rag too.”

    “Huh… ?”

    A voice mixed with panic leaked out from between Oh Hyun-seo’s lips, and the arms that had been binding her so she couldn’t move were released.

    “If it’s as you say.”

    It’s true that I didn’t remember when we first met.

    Even so, this is a story from at most 10 years ago.

    Even though he was the one who almost caused a breakdown in his relationship with Iharu, there’s no way he could completely forget what happened back then.

    But the person who started such rumors to spread was none other than himself.

    I cried while listening to a story about someone I had nothing to do with, and then I suddenly met a strange person who started lecturing me.

    The previous self who was gradually influenced by that person and changed.

    “Not like that today. And… .”

    Hanna Yeon’s faith in Iharu is unwavering.

    That is why the Hanna Yeon that changed because of Iharu was clearly different from the Hanna Yeon of the past.

    “I’m sorry.”

    Hanna Yeon, who escaped from Oh Hyun-seo, immediately turned around and bent her back.

    “… … .”

    There was no way Oh Hyun-seo could catch Hanna Yeon like that.

    As soon as he hands her the apple, he just stares blankly at Hanna Yeon, who runs in the direction where Iharu disappeared.

    Because Hanna Yeon was no longer the person Oh Hyun Seo knew.

    “This… surprisingly feels dirty.”

    Did you do something like this just to get an apology?

    Oh Hyun-seo, whose legs had lost their strength, sat down on the floor without even caring about the clothes she had dressed up for the first time getting dirty.
