chapter 27
27 – Freshmen
“Why are you lying..? You don’t like me, right..? That’s right, isn’t that what you’re doing?”
It went dark in front of my eyes.
I don’t know what to say or how to wisely get through this situation.
I don’t particularly hate you, but I just don’t want to get close to you because you’re too burdensome.
How can I make Lee Jin-ah accept this without feeling bad?
Lee Jin-ah, she didn’t even give me time to think and started spitting out her own words like her rapid-fire cannon.
“Yoo Seon-ah, why don’t you answer me?”
“…”
“Don’t you answer me?”
“Why…”
“Do you hate me?”
“No… Why do I hate you..?”
“Don’t lie. I haven’t seen a smiling face since I entered here. Be honest.
You just hate going to this school..? Are you uncomfortable walking around with me? Don’t keep lying i’m really gonna get mad
If you have any complaints, tell me here. Don’t groan inwardly. Let’s solve it through our conversation.”
…Actually, I’m not without complaint.
No, it makes no sense without it.
It was already wrong to hijack me and put me in the future high school when I was just going to go to another high school.
She felt the other day while talking with Jin-ah’s grandfather, and she felt that she should continue to stay by her side until Jin-ah Lee no longer needs me.
I hate that.
I have my own life, and Lee Jin-ah has her own life, but I’m not a pawn on a game board, and she’s trying to manipulate me as she pleases.
I am not a doll!
To be honest, I didn’t want to come to a place like this.
No matter how good the school facilities are, the teachers are excellent – and the lunches are delicious, what do you do…
Actually, I’m a person who can’t fit into that level.
There are fish that can live in the 1st water in the 1st water, and there are fish that can live in the 5th water in the 5th water.
There is a social status, there is a gap, and again- there is a difference in ability.
Can I adapt here without Lee Jin-ah’s help..?
Right now, in class, I teach in French, which I don’t even know, and how difficult math is.
In the first place, I wasn’t capable enough to come here.
That’s why I wanted to say that. Every time, I tried to speak.
Why should I be here? I tried to tell Lee Jin-ah that I’m not the right person for this and that I can’t be a friend who can’t walk side by side with you.
But how do you say that…
“…”
He’s still staring at me with his brown eyes wide open. I can’t say anything when I’m in front of him.
At first, she didn’t say anything because it was burdensome that this child was the granddaughter of the Mire family.
Now she doesn’t know what Lee Jin-ah will do, so she can’t say anything.
I knew what would happen to me…
“No, I have no complaints at all! It’s real! I eat such delicious food and study at a good school.
I enjoy this luxury thanks to Jin-ah, so why should I be dissatisfied with you?”
“Don’t lie. My eyes are shaking. I hate liars the most in the world. I told you not to lie?
This is the final warning. Yoo Seon-ah, if there’s something to be honest, I want her to say it now!”
…. How can I help you?
I turn my eyes to the waiters at the restaurant. Tidying up the table or sweeping the floor. Or what… Avoiding the seat or various.
There was no one at this restaurant to help me.
The food on the table just gets cold, but the two of us didn’t even think to lift the utensils.
Lee Jin-ah stares at me intently, and I avoid her gaze.
Uselessly, there are no other customers in this restaurant except for us, and all the waitresses have already disappeared.
Suffocating silence.
…It was Lee Jin-ah who broke the heavy silence that seemed to last forever.
After blinking her eyes a few times, Lee Jin-ah started talking again.
The subject of conversation has changed. Do you hate me so far..? Or do you have any complaints? So far, if you’ve been asking questions about the relationship between us.
This time more materialistic, external questions.
“And why don’t you wear the clothes I gave you? You don’t want to wear them? Why don’t you wear the clothes I gave you?”
“No… That’s why… That… There is… But I like this outfit…”
First day of semester.
As I felt while attending high school in the future, I was the only one walking around wearing clothes I bought at outlets like this.
Lee Jin-ah has a good ear, and she must have heard the story behind the scenes saying that there is a child in this school who wears cheap clothes that I sell at some outlet.
Perhaps Lee Jin-ah overheard someone swearing at me while I was away.
Whatever it is, it’s a credible claim.
When she was hanging out with Lee Jin Ah. I saw a few kids who talked about it openly and loudly.
When she first met the student council president. When she told me that he also bought clothes at the outlet, she laughed, saying that it was very corny.
I was in a bad mood at the time, but in a way I understood.
Because the world we have lived in is different.
Until now, when they grumbled about the clothes they bought at the department store as dirty, they would naturally think it strange when they saw me wearing clothes I bought at the outlet.
Thinking that way made my gloomy heart feel a little better.
It doesn’t matter if I’m wearing clothes or not, as long as I’m happy.
So that’s it, I thought, but a courier came to my room and when I checked the sender, it was Lee Jin-ah.
Starting with Hermes, one of the most expensive brands in the world, and even a maker whose name is unknown… Whether it is Italian or French, everything is there.
It was full of clothes for spring and summer.
While looking at the courier, what was the first thing I thought of?
Ah, since spring and summer clothes are here, can’t you send fall and winter clothes when the season passes?
That thought came to me first.
And that fact made it very difficult for me.
I used to have an equal relationship with Jina like when she was young. I wanted a relationship where we both decide what we want to do and have fun together.
Because that’s what friends are originally.
I didn’t really want one side overwhelmingly helping and pushing the other like this. Can this be considered a friend?
I wish I could do something like this to Jinah Lee.
I wish I could do something like that.
I didn’t even ask for that.
I always heard that Lee Jin-ah was trying to do things that I didn’t ask her to do…
The school trip membership fee, future high school admissions, the gift of clothes, everything- everything…
I didn’t want to, but she was alone doing everything on her own and carrying on.
I can’t live like this.
I never wanted this special life.
All I want is a life like everyone else, where I just laugh normally, have fun, struggle when it’s hard, go through pain, suffer, and at least one happy event happens.
I just want to live a normal life where there seems to be at least one person wherever I go, but why… Does Lee Jin-ah take care of me like this?
At this point, it’s too burdensome.
I hate this so much now.
“Did you sell it for money?”
“I didn’t sell it!”
“Did you open the packaging?”
“…I ripped it open”
“Did you try it on?”
“…Of course”
“Then can I go into the room and check…?”
“… Huh?”
“Yoo Seon-ah, did I tell you not to lie? Because Yoo Seon-i doesn’t lie to me. Wouldn’t it be okay if I checked?
I don’t do anything. I’ll just go check it out! I won’t touch anything else! Okay?”
Lee Jin-ah leaves her restaurant without eating. And as soon as I got into the car, right away.
“It’s wired, please drop me off in front of the dormitory”
The car started.
2)
When Lee Jin-ah opened the door to the men’s dormitory and came in, no one said anything to her.
The guard guarding her entrance and the male students trying to enter the dormitory all just looked at Lee Jin-ah and said uh-uh-uh-oh, but didn’t stop them.
The granddaughter of the Mirae family.
How are you going to touch the granddaughter of the president of this school…?!
In school, no, in Korea, Lee Jin-ah’s power can be said to be omnipotent.
“..Uh..That…That..”
Visiting of the opposite s*x to the dormitory is prohibited, and suspended if caught – strict school rules.
However, no one brought it to Lee Jin-ah.
Hanging a bell around a cat’s neck… It must be something like that…
Lee Jin-ah’s destination is, of course, my room.
I feel like going crazy. I think I’m going crazy.
What… Should I hold on to at least one leg? Or should I block the road at least once..?
There are many ways in her head… But when she tried to execute it, her steps did not stop.
The first floor is a common lobby.
And it’s a space where people live from the second floor, and I don’t know if it means anything, but I was on the second floor.
Elevator.
She was on the top floor when she was about to get on, so it seems that Lee Jin-ah decided to go up her stairs.
No matter how much Lee Jin-ah is, she doesn’t have the ability to grab the elevator on the top floor and lead it to the first floor.
I’m going up the stairs…
“Ah…It hurts…”
The student council president I saw earlier at the cafeteria was going down the stairs.
New glasses.
This time the snow is blue like a panda.
“..Uh..? Uh uh… This is the boys’ dormitory..? Why..? Here…?”
Director Jina Lee, Directed by Jina Lee. Starring Jinah Lee.
As soon as the student council president, who had participated in a short play at the cafeteria, saw Lee Jin-ah climbing her stairs, she fell into contemplation and sat down on her floor.
As if I saw a ghost…
To avoid Lee Jin-ah, who was shorter than herself and weighed less than herself, she sat down on her floor and hid her face with her arms as she huddled in a corner with her ugly figure.
“…Have you done everything you were told to do? Ah… What… I’m trying to make you do strange things… I’m not good at acting… It’s a request, so don’t make me do strange things, don’t hit me…. Sick”
He spat out the words, but Lee Jin-ah was not interested in the words of the student council president.
“Don’t block the road, get out of the way”
Then the stairs and the hallway split like Moses parted the Red Sea.
What should I do?
Should I grab a leg that I can’t go even now..?
Or, should she get on her knees for doing something wrong..?
Or should I pretend to be crazy and block Lee Jin-ah’s path..?
She has to do something, but… Various imaginations come to mind, but when she actually tries to put them into practice, she doesn’t stop.
Really…? Are you just going through my closet? Is that so?
“…Ah… Uh… No…”
Then, it wasn’t until the time when Lee Jin-ah opened my door and she went inside, that I barely managed to get to where Lee Jin-ah was.
It’s already too late to turn everything around.
Open visit.
And… An open closet.
Clothes with unopened wrapping paper.
There were piles of clothes on the floor that she had obviously never worn, and Lee Jin-ah was staring at me with her dull brown eyes.
