Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

36 – Kim, Soi…

“It could be that I didn’t go to study abroad. Ara, because there are things you are doing in Korea.”

“… Yes.”

“It was good that I chose Hankuk University. I also saw that he received a perfect score on the college entrance exam and became a hot topic.”

“… It was.”

“There was nothing to be caught by miscreants… Rather, it only raises your father’s stock price. You’re doing it perfectly, as you promised.

“… Thank you.”

“By the way-“

Yoo Cheol-wang’s voice lowered a little.

“The Department of Korean Language Education… How am I supposed to take this?”

“… Because I became interested in your studies.”

“Then where did he go? Hansol heard that he also went to Korea University… What did he major in?”

“…… “

‘This person… I already know because I’ve seen it all.’

Ara could not answer King Yoocheol’s question.

I expected this to happen from the time I applied to the same department as Hansol. I expected but… Emotions preceded it, and I committed it impulsively.

Because Han-sol left home, Ara’s mind became impoverished as the days went by.

Hansol, who had been by her side since she was young, who never left her side no matter how much she behaved that she couldn’t understand, finally left herself.

There is no Hansol who used to ask me if I slept well every morning. She doesn’t have Hansol, who used to laugh and sleep well every night.

The darkness of Hansol’s empty room, which I sometimes look into, is so frightening.

Her mother passed away, and the support that stood by her side was gone as she desperately tried to decorate herself perfectly.

‘I wonder if he has come to hate me.’

Ara was scared. I fear that as her body moved away, so did her mind.

As she left, she asked Hansol to call her anytime, but she was afraid that she might have run out of affection for herself.

On Hansol’s birthday, I thought about going to him a hundred times, but in the end, I only sent a gift box. He was afraid that Hansol’s mouth would say that he didn’t need it.

‘I wonder if there was another woman… What happened to Mina?’

I knew that my childhood friend, Minah, had feelings for Hansol. She also knew that Hansol and Minah were seeing each other from time to time.

So, maybe she is comforting the wounds she was rejected in her arms.

Ara didn’t think that a woman like Cha Ye-jin would beat her and win Han-sol’s heart, but she was as insecure as Min-ah. Because Hansol was also a little attracted to her Minah.

But even this dark heart melted the moment I saw Hansol’s face when she returned home on her birthday.

When she saw that she had not forgotten to buy her favorite snack, she almost burst into tears. She said she was wrong, she wanted to beg her to come back.

In the end, Ara couldn’t overcome the urge of the moment and she kissed the person she loved.

She couldn’t bear being away from Han-sol any longer, so she applied to the Korean language education department, which she hadn’t even wanted to do.

… And if you acted on your emotions like that, you have to pay the price. Ara removed her heavy mouth.

“By chance, it overlapped with me.”

“… Do you think that saying that will make me understand?”

“But it is true. Besides, when did Sol-i become independent? After that, we hardly ever see each other. I’m not even contacting you. They say that if her original body gets further away, her mind will also get farther away.”

“But now we are closer.”

“… How are you going to believe me? I’m really innocent… If her grandfather says so, there is no way to properly prove something.”

“There is a simple way.”

King Yoo Chul gave a fishy laugh.

“Get engaged.”

“…… !!”

“Former Prosecutor General Cho Seong-taek. Thats my friend I heard that his grandson is 5 years older than you, but wouldn’t that much difference be perfect? Well, he’s currently studying abroad… If it’s good for you, I’ll let you go home right away.”

Ara broke out in a cold sweat. I expected a certain amount of reprimand from King Yoo Chul, and I thought of an answer to it, but I didn’t think it would come out like this.

Ara barely opened her mouth with a trembling voice.

“Cho, the marriage conversation with the Prosecutor General Seong-taek Cho’s family… I don’t think the benefit would be great. Not sure… I don’t think I can help my father’s business right now… Well, besides, I had the idea of living without getting married… “

“Why wouldn’t the gains be great? Wouldn’t your gains be great? The benefit of getting rid of the suspicions you created yourself and earning my favor.”

“… Sorry. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”

Ara could no longer refute King Yoocheol’s words, so Ara hurriedly got up from her seat.

King Yoo turned on the TV to see if he had any plans to stop Ara. A long time ago, a drama that Han Seung-ah filmed came out.

I heard King Yoocheol’s leisurely laugh from behind.

“Clack… Think carefully. What should you do before i die… Before it is too late.”

With that reluctant laugh behind, Ara left King Yoocheol’s house.

The sky outside was dark. As if she had been waiting for her to come out, black dark clouds began to spit up rain.

King Yoo-cheol’s attendant, Cherry, took out her umbrella and guided Ara to the car as if she had been waiting.

Ara with her sad face muttered to her.

“Cherry, I hate rain.”

“… Is that so?”

Her To her, her rainy days always reminded her of her death.

… Ara just wanted to see Hansol.

After I entered the Department of Korean Language Education at Hankuk University, the first day of the semester finally arrived.

In my previous life, I had never crossed the threshold of a university and worked as a cleaning service nearby, but in this life, I went to the most prestigious university in the country.

I was lucky. Thanks to the low academic level of Cheonnyeon High School, I was able to meet the GPA, and I barely met the minimum standard after studying for the CSAT.

I don’t think there is a student who’s smarter than me at this school.

“Hey, what are all these unlucky things on your phone?”

“What?”

Gu Min-seop, who came to help me move into my own room, shook my phone and said.

This smart guy also got accepted into Korea University alongside me. That’s the same teacher’s college as me, and the department is the physical education department. They told me to go to physical education and eventually gave up.

It’s irrelevant that Cheonnyeon High School was in trouble because there were only two students who passed the exam at Hankuk University.

But why are you looking at other people’s phones carelessly, you bastard… Although I didn’t set the lock.

“This. The unread messages on your KakaoTalk you bastard. Are these all girls? Is life really all of a sudden? Please reply at least How many are these?”

“It’s annoying. At first, a few people responded, but there was no end.”

Before the start of the semester, I participated in all events such as the orientation and the newbie learning center.

Of course, since it was my first time going to college, I had a desire to try all of those things, but in fact, I went to watch Ara to see if there were any bastards doing strange things.

But, is it because the Department of Korean Language Education is a woman’s class or is it because Ara’s background is so strong?

On the contrary, there were more women who approached me. At first, they were all seniors or classmates, so they sincerely contacted and replied, but… I gave up because it was so hard.

“I want to hit Lee Han-sol’s stomach so damn hard… `Isn’t it the Korean language education department? Your male seniors must be in a bad mood. If one day suddenly someone like you joins the same department.”

“Not really? Do you all like it?”

“On the outside, it seems so. But isn’t there something to catch your pod? So those bastards would be in the forefront and f*cking? Be careful? In an instant, you’ll become an asshole.”

“Oh, yes or no.”

In my previous life, I had a hard time all my life, but what? No, isn’t it really different now? Gu Min-seop is the only friend I keep in touch with these days.

A friend… What is Minah Park doing these days? When we broke up at the end, we broke up so badly that it bothered me.

Of course, we could see Mina through various media such as TV and You Tube, but that is not her true self.

Are you still in pain from the scars I gave you? Or would he forget about me and meet another guy?

… Thinking like that makes me sick to my stomach. I’m really trash You don’t want to go to someone else on a subject you don’t even intend to accept.

To me who was thinking such a disturbing thought, Gu Min-seop asked a more disturbing question.

“By the way, what about Yuara? Didn’t he come here to be in the same class as you?”

“… I don’t know either.”

When I first saw Ara at the Korean Language Education Department orientation on the day of the entrance ceremony, I literally froze on the spot.

Why the hell are you here? She sent such a question to Ara with her eyes, but she calmly passed me in front of Ara. As if she was someone she didn’t know.

So I couldn’t approach her anymore. She only heard from Yoo Ji-tae that Ara had moved into the Korean University dormitory.

There was no conversation between us at the orientation or at the freshman training ground. It was only that her eyes met with Ara, who occasionally glanced towards me.

Even today, on the first day of school… Probably won’t talk to me

Since I was depressed, Gu Min-seop spoke to me with a shy face.

“Hey, how are you doing? It’s better to see up close than to watch from afar. Rather, let’s eat rice! I heard you’re at 1:30 for your first class? Since we moved, let’s order some jajangmyeon.”

“Oh, sorry. I have rice medicine with my senior today.”

“Rice medicine?”

“… Sorry. The senior who received the contact information from the new home is going to eat today.”

“… Oh sh*t, I helped you for nothing.”

“Next time I will buy the more expensive one.”

“Hey, but is that senior a woman or a man?”

“…… “

What a woman. Without answering, he left the house and left the house. A thick swearing sound was heard from behind.

———-

When I went to the north gate of Hankuk University, the female senior who called me was waiting for me.

This person came quickly even though it was 10 minutes before the appointed time.

I bowed her head to her.

“Oh, sorry. Have you been waiting long?”

“No. I’m just here too. Come on, let’s go! This senior takes me to a restaurant in the North Gate.”

“By the way, senior, are you alone? The last time I took rice medicine… “

“Ah, ah~ That, Dayeon said she couldn’t come because she was busy today… Are you uncomfortable with the two of you?”

“… No, it’s fine.”

“Well then, let’s go!”

Awesome. There was something strange going on with this senior and that senior at the time, but I wonder if it was just the two of them.

She was a bit dumbfounded, but what the heck is she refusing to eat once? I walked next to her.

“That, we seemed like a couple who had just started dating, didn’t we? She asks if she’s been waiting long enough, and she replies that she just came… “

“Uh… is that so?”

It’s inconvenient. This clumsy flirting comment.

I would have ignored it if it had been a bit sloppy woman, but a woman like this who wears glasses and is like an example of an introverted teacher…

As I walked down the street, answering her continuing chatter with difficulty, the feeling of my hand in my pocket felt strange.

What is it? I think something is missing… Ah, the wallet! You don’t have a wallet? Why don’t you have a wallet? Did I leave it at home? No, you obviously brought it out, right?

“Hey… Senior, I don’t have that wallet.”

“Huh? Ah, of course, the senior lives there, and Bob. Don’t worry~”

“No, that’s not it… It looks like it was dropped somewhere… “

What should I do? Do I have to look at the floor and look for it in a place where there are so many people?

But it’s a bit like taking a senior and looking for him… Ah! First of all, I’ll call Min-seop Gu, who will be in my room, and check…

“Excuse me. Are you looking for this wallet?”

A clear voice came from behind. The owner of the voice called me and gently grabbed my wrist.

But I didn’t look back immediately. As soon as I heard that voice, my body stiffened and I couldn’t move.

The senior answered instead of me.

“Ah! Is this Hansol yours? I think I saw it when I was a newbie! I’m glad I found it right away~ Thank you for finding it.”

“Whoops, no. It seems that this person bumped into me earlier and dropped it. Now, here.”

“Hansol, you should get it soon. Why are you doing that?”

“Ah, yes… “

I turned my squirming body slowly. Could it really be you?

“Here, this wallet is over there, right? Sleep.”

“…… “

“… Hey?”

I couldn’t reach out to her when she held out my wallet. The moment I looked at her, her cold-heartedness rose up and made my body freeze.

Something hot, like breath, came out between my lips.

“Kim, Soi… “

Her face, now blurred even in my dreams, appeared clearly before my eyes.
