Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

89 – Love That Man (2)

Hansol was taken to the hospital and quickly came to his senses.

The doctor warned that fasting while under excessive mental stress was dangerous, but such words never entered Hansol’s mind.

“Sol, you have to force yourself to eat.”

“…… “

She brought the spoon close to her mouth, but Hansol did not open her mouth.

It wasn’t just his mouth that he kept tightly closed. The eyelids were open, but the deep, dark pupils seemed to block incoming light.

He must have been starving for how many days, so his once brilliant platinum-colored hair has become limp and his skin is dull.

“Sol… “

Ara put down the spoon holding the porridge and looked at Hansol sadly.

Hansol didn’t say anything to Ara, but she knew.

It is not simply the shock of heartbreak. I felt a deeper despair from Hansol.

‘But… Why did that person break up with Sol? ‘

I don’t know how she found out, but So-yi must have found out about the relationship between Hansol and Lee Yoon-ah.

Ara tried to prevent it, but… From what Ara saw, Soyi didn’t seem to blame Hansol for what happened.

But why did we break up?

I don’t know. If Hansol is silencing her like this, there is no way for Ara to know.

“Sol, let’s talk to that person one more time. Lee Yoon-ah, what happened to him wasn’t your fault. “I’m sure he will understand.”

As I did not know the circumstances, Ara could only say this.

“… It’s my fault…… “

A whistling sound came from Hansol’s throat.

“Sol, how could it be your fault? You have lived at our house since you were 6 years old… You have nothing to do with it… “

“It’s my fault…” Because I live differently than back then… So, Lee Yun-ah… Things have changed since then… I ruined it…… “

“At that time? That time? Sol, what is that time? What does that mean… ?”

Ara couldn’t understand Hansol’s words.

I live differently than I did back then… When is that time?

“…… “

Hansol was silent. It was meaningless to explain it to Ara.

“Sol. “When did you meet that person named Kim Soi?”

“When…?” That… “

“… “Sol, I once heard you say that person’s name when you were 8 years old.”

“…… !!”

Hansol turned her head towards Ara for the first time today.

His wide-open eyes could be seen through his limp hair.

“When I first saw that person next to you, I thought it was a coincidence. However… No matter how much you think about it, it wasn’t a coincidence. Sol, you… Because I could see that you cared for that person so much. “Because you could see that he was so special to you that you wouldn’t think it was the first time you met him.”

“Araya… “

“I am convinced by what you just said. Sol, what kind of person is he to you?”

“I…” Soi… “

Hansol told Ara everything. The story of her past life. The story between myself and Soyi.

Normally, he wouldn’t have spewed out delusional things like this that no one would believe, but right now he was too mentally focused.

During the story, Hansol cried several times and interrupted his speech, but Ara calmly waited until the end.

“… I see.”

After Hansol finished speaking, Ara quietly nodded her head.

“What I said… believe?”

“Trust me. How long have I been seeing you? I have vivid memories of being with you when I was young. “Now I understand all the strange things Sol said or did sometimes.”

Even if that wasn’t the case, she would have believed Hansol’s words.

I know you’re not the type of person to make up strange stories in situations like this.

Maybe it was because there was someone who believed in the story of his past life that no one knew about, but Hansol’s eyes became a little more alive than before.

“… Sorry.”

“What?”

“I am madam…” I couldn’t save your mother. If I had been a more proper person in my past life…… “

“Sol.”

Ara interrupted Hansol and hugged him.

“My mother… Do you know how much Sol laughed because of you? Sol lived a happier life thanks to you, Mom. Because of you, the number of people I love increases… “She lived a happier life, Sol.”

Just like I was able to be happy because you were always by my side.

Ara swallowed those words. Instead, she handed over Hansol’s disheveled hair.

Ara chuckled as she looked at her dull and gaunt face due to stress and fasting.

“hehehehe, Sol, your face is so ugly right now.”

You are still pretty in my eyes.

“At this rate, even if her girlfriend comes back, I’ll dump her. Take some rest and take care of yourself. That way, he too can see you again.”

“What? What does that mean… “

“Sol, rest.”

Ara got up from her seat.

“I will bring him back.”

So that you can be happy.

Ara headed to Soi Bunsik.

———-

“… “Where are you hurting?”

Soi sharpened her blade at Ara, who was sitting at the store counter.

The time is now 3:30 PM. There were no other customers and Kwak Joo-hee was away on other business, so Soi and Ara were the only ones in the store.

“No? I’m not in any pain? By the way, I ordered tteokbokki. When will you prepare it?”

In contrast to Soi, who glared coldly at her, Ara smiled brightly.

It was not a fake smile to achieve a goal, but a smile that came from the heart.

“Did you just talk to me informally? Did I really hurt my head or something? Suddenly… !”

Soyi was so dumbfounded that she didn’t even get angry.

She must have been glaring at me as if she hated me for provoking me the last time she came to the store, but she suddenly seemed to be acting friendly…

Soyi can’t figure out what Ara’s plan is.

“Yes! We’re the same age. So, you can speak informally. We can be friends, right? I want to become friends with you… “

“Are you mocking me now? “Are you laughing at me now?”

Ara’s words about wanting to become friends with Soyi were sincere. But she couldn’t help but look different to Soyi.

Because the one Hansol really loves is Ara. So she thought Hansol was in love with her, but she came to make fun of her, and she couldn’t be seen outside.

“Get out now. What is the order… “You will never be accepted as a customer in our store, so get the hell out of here!”

Soyi pulled her face closer to Ara and spat out harshly.

Ara, it was an expected reaction from her perspective. Ara asked calmly without lifting her butt from her chair.

“Lee Yoon-ah, you met that woman, right? What did she say with him? She doesn’t know what she heard from Lee Yoon-ah, but Soi, you misunderstood. Sol is Soi, you really… “

“Don’t even bring up that bastard’s name in front of me.”

Soyi cut off Ara’s words.

“… Please. “You don’t have to listen to me anymore, so just listen to what Sol says for once.”

Ara hung on pitifully.

Seeing that, Soyi stroked her hair as if she didn’t understand her and let out a deep sigh.

What on earth does this woman really want?

At first, she thought she had come to laugh at herself as the winner, having dated Hansol without knowing anything.

But saying something like that now is like… Doesn’t it seem like he’s trying to connect himself with Hansol?

… If that’s true, it’s not even funny.

Hansol says she doesn’t love him. She just felt sorry for herself because of Lee Yoon-ah’s work, and did her favor out of her kind heart.

“Sol is having a hard time right now. She can’t even eat well… “She’s sick too, so she’s lying in the hospital right now.”

Soyi’s eyebrows trembled slightly when she heard that Hansol was sick. She turned her head slightly so that Ara could not see her.

“Then…” You can comfort me. Didn’t it work out? “It would be an opportunity to do well with Lee Han-sol.”

“… I don’t think of Sol’s weakness as an opportunity. There… Sol likes you, Soi. “In the past and even now.”

“Please stop talking nonsense! Leave me alone! I was just a distraction. Please both of you get out of my sight… “I’ll leave the room, so you two can take care of yourselves!!”

Soyi cried out, tearing her hair out.

She didn’t want to listen to Ara anymore. It felt like her heart was weakening.

“Soya, Sol likes you. I love you. So just give that kid one chance. She only spoke once… “

“No? I f*cking hate that bastard. “Why do I like the son of the woman who caused my mom and dad to divorce?”

“You know it’s not Sol’s fault. Sol hates that woman, Lee Yoon-ah, more than anyone else. “Probably more than you.”

“I don’t know? And even if it’s not Lee Hansol’s fault… I do not want to. She hates the mere fact that her blood is mixed with her… “

It was a lie. Soyi knows too. Hansol did nothing wrong. She knows that Hansol will hate Lee Yoon-ah more than anyone else.

The reason I told this lie… I just needed an excuse. She has an excuse not to see Hansol again.

And Ara noticed it.

“… Okay? “Is that an excuse?”

“It’s not an excuse, I really…” “

“That’s enough. “If that’s an excuse, it’s simple.”

No longer listening to Soyi’s lies, Ara stood up from her seat.

“Then next time I come, I’ll bring you a gift.”

“… I don’t know what you’re talking about, but don’t come here again. I will report it when it comes. Lee Hansol is sick… “Stay next to me.”

Instead of answering, Ara just smiled and walked out of her store.

‘Look at that. In the end, you are worried about Sol, too. Because it’s still good… ‘

Soyi’s inner thoughts were clearly visible. Ara got into one of Cherry’s vehicles waiting outside her store.

“Cherry, what about what you said last time?”

“… “I’m ready.”

One Cherry held out her cell phone screen to her Ara.

After seeing the content on her screen, Ara nodded her head in satisfaction and picked up her cell phone to make a call.

“Oh, Min. I have a favor to ask… “
