Chapter 54
54. Prince Maker(1)
1.
After spending time at Han Seung-gi’s house, I returned home.
It wasn’t very surprising to leave a boy alone in a place like that, but there wasn’t any other option either.
Han Seung-gi wouldn’t have wanted anything special either.
After hearing his story, I worried a lot, but I didn’t respond in a clumsy manner.
As much as possible, Han Seung-gi responded in a way that was not uncomfortable, and that effort continued until the end.
‘That… , Can I come over next time?’
‘What… , It’s a house without anything interesting.’
‘That, what, that, that, because it’s just us… It feels like a hideout, so….’
Of course I know the word azit is very strange.
It must be okay because Han Seung-gi seemed in a good mood after hearing that.
Anyway, I heard Han Seung-gi’s story, and I also heard Han Seung-gi’s own intentions.
I still don’t like receiving anything, and I clearly express my intention not to.
However, I continued to worry about whether it was right to do what I was told to do.
Han Seung-gi is twisted somewhere.
There are some differences from ordinary people, and most of the differences are in the mental realm.
It must be because of the memories accumulated throughout his life.
Is it right to leave a friend like that?
Isn’t it okay to give a little help?
That’s why it’s not okay to just give money away.
It’s not because of lack of money, it’s because Han Seung-gi had his own intentions.
No matter how hard it is, you can’t force yourself to dislike others.
And one more thought that pops into my head is a selfish thought even when I think about it.
The thing related to the school trip that Han Seung-gi talked about earlier.
They said that because of the circumstances, they canceled the school trip as soon as the application form came out.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal, and considering Han Seung-gi’s situation, it’s only natural.
I understand that it is pitiful for me to bring up these words.
Personally, I was really looking forward to it.
The first field trip since entering high school.
A friend I met after I entered high school and I fit so well with me.
I wouldn’t be able to share the same room due to gender issues, but when I thought about going around together, I was overflowing with anticipation.
Now that I think about it, it was only the part that I thought about my own pleasure.
Something. I’m sorry and I’m sorry.
It’s also the fact that I couldn’t build memories with Han Seung-gi because of just money.
I remember that the cost of the school trip was in the late 400,000 won.
Amount that I can settle on my own if I just take some money out of my bank account.
Even if I gave this to Han Seung-gi, there would be no problem. It’s a lot of money, but to me it’s not that great of a sum.
By the way, I’m asking if you’ll accept it.
Again, by the way, does that mean Han Seung-gi has to go to class alone when all the other kids are leaving for Jeju Island?
I don’t know what to do.
My head is too complicated.
2.
I feel like a lot happened yesterday.
Actually, the only thing that happened was that Mina Lin came to my house to play, but she just felt that way.
Um……. I don’t know if it’s a good thing.
Minah Lin, who didn’t make eye contact with me when she first came into my house, but later she asked if it would be okay if she came to play again next time, but she seemed more comfortable.
Because it could be only then.
The important thing is how you turn out today.
Minah Lin is also a guy with a sense of humor, but I hope she doesn’t look like she’s trying to give something away.
It was something she was always reluctant to do, but starting from yesterday, that thought became stronger.
Yesterday, while showing Min Ah-rin my house, she had a very fleeting thought.
Because Min A-rin’s family looks really laid-back.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s okay to receive something.
Even with that kind of help, I wonder if our relationship will continue.
The sense of bewilderment was considerable.
I wondered if my mind was this weak.
The most intense thing was about the relationship between me and her.
I think Minah Lin is a really good friend to her, and although she has made some friends of hers in this life, I don’t think she has ever had anyone like Minah Lin.
From noble mtl dot com
It means a relationship that is more precious than anyone else.
By the way, she had the idea that she would cling to such a person.
Those who had some money left me, and I, who had such an experience, had such an easy mind for Min Ah-rin.
I wasn’t in a good mood.
Obviously, my self-control has suffered.
I don’t know if my mind has become a minor as my body has become a high school student, but that’s for sure.
I try to think only of the good side, and I try to think too easily.
To look at it more objectively…….
The next time Minah Lin offers something, I don’t think she will be able to reject it as thoroughly as before.
I think it’s easy to think that good is good and move on.
That’s not going to happen.
But what if the same thing happens again?
Although I always catch Gao and talk about living alone in the world.
To be honest, I didn’t change my mind until right after I transferred.
Maybe this is due to a weakened heart.
Or is it because he values Min Ah-rin in particular?
Because now going back to being a complete loner is going to be much harder than before.
What.
It’s gotten really long, but what I wanted to say was this.
Just. I want you to treat me like you normally would.
3.
Fortunately, my wish came true.
Even when Min Ah-rin came to school, she treated me as usual, and she joked as usual.
I felt like I felt awkward somewhere, but I think it was just a matter of my sensitivity.
Anyway.
While spending Thursday like usual, he was chatting with Min Ah-rin.
Cheon Se-joon, who was looking at his cell phone intently in front of him, looked back in surprise.
“Seung-gi!”
“Huh?”
“You… It’s your birthday tomorrow…?”
“Uh… has that happened already?”
Was it Monday or Tuesday?
I remember Min Arin asking about my birthday.
She didn’t regard her birthday as important even then, and just yesterday there was a big event of its own, so she completely forgot about it.
“But how did you know?”
“Are they all on KakaoTalk! Do you…, Um…, Do you have time tomorrow?”
“Uh…, yes, but why?”
“That’s great! Then why don’t you go somewhere with me?”
“…No!”
The last words belong to Min Ah-rin.
What is it?
“Uh… Did you have an appointment with Min Ah-rin?”
“No? Why not?”
“No…, that…, what…, me too… to Han Seunggi… what… a promise…”
Why can’t he talk like this?
Did you try to make her appointment with me?
Why bother on my birthday?
You’re not trying to give me anything, are you?
I hope not.
I hope it’s nothing special even if I give it to you.
Apart from other things, the very fact of receiving a present is also very awkward.
“What is it. Why didn’t you make a promise that Seung-gi didn’t know about?”
“Yeah, I was going to catch it from now on…”
Min Ah-rin According to my analysis after obtaining the 1st-level license for facial expression recognition, Min Ah-rin seems to be quite eager to make an appointment with me.
I can’t understand that. And I can’t help it if I’m wrong.
I turned my eyes to Cheon Sejun again and opened my mouth.
“I think it would be better to exclude Friday then.”
“Ah… Then… Today?”
“Well… I’ll tell you later.”
Looking at the atmosphere, it definitely feels like a gift or something.
I evaded the answer for the time being.
It’s hard to reject good intentions too firmly, so I’ll have to find an excuse.
4.
Like that, after a while again.
As soon as break time returned, Cheon Se-joon disappeared somewhere with Min Ah-rin.
After another 5 minutes passed like that, the two of them approached me with a grim expression.
Then I just started to say something.
In conclusion, Cheon Se-jun wants to give me something, whether it be goods or services, as a birthday present.
Looking at you asking for time today, you must be going somewhere together and doing something.
Of course I tried to refuse.
It’s only this morning that I made up my mind, but it’s strange that I’ve already loosened up.
And there is still a sense of pressure.
If I received something, it was clear that it would remain in my heart forever.
By the way, the proposal the two threw was quite fresh.
Min Ah-rin said that if the gift was burdensome, it would be okay to help Cheon Se-joon later.
Cheon Se-joon immediately exaggeratedly said that he would have no wish if he appeared in the TikTok video he was filming even for a second.
‘Really! Absolutely nothing strange! If it’s okay with you, I can take Min Arin with me!’
‘Han Seung-gi! I heard what I was, and it looked good?’
‘So! You can trust me!’
Well, the effort was imaginary.
I’m not in a position to evaluate other people’s efforts, but I was anyway.
You tried to convince me by pretending to be some sort of multi-level con artist.
In the end, I accepted the offer, and Min Ah-rin, who asked if she would mind if she intervened, also agreed to join us.
Because it would be more fun with Min Ah-rin.
In fact, the reason she accepted the offer was that her role was too big.
I must say that she felt that her resolve was weakening because she somehow persuaded him.
I shouldn’t be like this, really.
Anyway, that damn tiktok.
I don’t really want to appear, but if you want to do that, it could be a good enough price.
He said that he made a lot of money with it, so it could be a more sufficient price.
I don’t know what the hell they’re trying to do by inviting Min Ah-rin to take me away.
It would be a lie to say that I have no expectations, but I do have a bit of anxiety.
Chun Se-joon has a lot of interest in the field of makeup.
I heard that among men in the world who are good at taking care of themselves, they wear simple makeup, but my bottom line is below that.
Even if I beat you to death, I have no intention of doing more than that.
Well, even so. Cheon Se-joon is a very smart person, and he’s not the kind of person who would force me to do something like that.
For now, it will be okay to eat comfortably.
A birthday present.
I’m thinking of paying the price, but it’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time.
To be more precise, it is a rather unfamiliar word.
