[Chapter 136]

[Prelude to Love (5)]

Jeong Hayang confessed.

Eunha couldn’t believe her ears.

Without fully understanding the situation, he turned his eyes to the party venue and saw students staring at him.

Everyone had dumbfounded faces.

… What is this?

Students and friends are looking at themselves and demanding explanations.

However, Eunha felt like telling him that the street address was wrong.

The explanation should not have been asked of himself, but of Jeong Hayang, who suddenly confessed while offering a toast.

But in reality, Jeong Hayang was just looking at him calmly on stage.

“—Answer me.”

“…….”

“You don’t like me?”

She even launches an additional attack.

It was the moment when she realized that the arrow had already left the bowstring.

That is, spilled water.

I can’t pick it up and put it away.

She had already said something she couldn’t put into words in front of everyone, and now she was making a gesture to wait for his answer.

So the students’ eyes did not want to leave him.

“”””… … .””””

My stomach settled heavily.

Eunha looked at Jeong Hayang, who was standing silently on the stage under their gaze.

She is smiling.

As if asking for an answer quickly.

… it’s crazy.

He had a really bad accident.

Eunha bit her pursed lips.

Jeong Hayang made the worst move.

This is because a member of Alice Group’s direct line made a public confession.

If Eunha herself refuses to confess, there would be no other shame like this.

Additionally, her prestige at the academy would plummet.

However, Eunha’s assumption was based on one premise.

If I refuse… .

Me, Won… .

Eunha smiled dryly.

However, although his mouth was smiling, his eyes were not smiling.

From Jeong Ha-yang’s perspective, the worst move turned out to be a trick.

Live or die?

Even though she left the power of life and death to him—.

─So, is he threatening me now?

Jeongha, you’ve grown a lot.

Eunha couldn’t kill her.

He couldn’t humiliate Jeong Hayang by refusing to confess in front of people.

She was Jeong Hayang, <The Seed> of Index, whom he had to recruit to the party, and at the same time, she was a direct descendant of the Alice Group.

I was thinking wrong.

I was thinking that no matter what I did, Hayang would never disobey me.

Eunha realized her defeat.

Having spent a long time with Jeong Hayang when she was not his direct descendant, he was under the illusion that he had a complete understanding of Jeong Hayang as a person.

“…you hate me?”

“…….”

In short, I easily saw her.

If it’s Jeong Hayang, she won’t betray herself no matter what happens.

He was overconfident that whatever he said would be followed.

She, like Eunha herself, is a person who can think for herself.

All this time, I was thinking complacently.

So this is what happened.

“…I never thought I would get on top of the board made by Jeongha.”

Like self-deprecation.

Eunha muttered softly.

He, who doesn’t like stepping on someone else’s board, burst into laughter inadvertently.

Strangely, I didn’t feel like I hated it.

“—There’s no way I hate you.”

I am proud of Jeong Hayang’s growth.

On one hand, I felt proud.

Eunha spoke with mana in her voice so that the people who were waiting for her to answer could hear.

“then?”

Then Jeong Ha asks cutely.

As the heavy atmosphere cleared, the students who had been silent began to say something.

Jinparang pops the champagne.

Then he gets hit by Bae Soo-bin.

Kang Si-hyung stops her.

The way to turn the tables… , there is none.

And Eunha resigned.

What if a monster suddenly appears?

There was no way to turn the tables without damaging her prestige.

Maybe it’s because of White’s personality… .

Even if I refuse to confess, he might join the party.

But even if Hayang is okay… . There’s no way Alice Group would be happy with me.

Eunha sighed.

This was the part where I painfully realized that my childhood friend, Ha-yang Jeong, was a direct descendant of the Alice Group.

He had even asked her father, Jeong Seok-hoon, to make an alixer.

If Jeong Ha-yang’s confession was rejected, it was unclear how the Alice Group, with which they had maintained a friendly relationship, would change.

But the problem is─.

─So that means Yoon Lee-byeol also confessed to me… .

Eunha glanced sideways at Yoon Ibyeol, who had been standing next to her with a white face ever since Jeongha confessed.

She seemed like she couldn’t believe what was happening.

Then, did you feel his gaze?

She looked at him.

“…….”

I said no.

She purses her lips as if she’s saying that.

I shake my head.

But her wish could not come true.

The first thing to do is to put out the urgent fire.

You can deal with Yoon Lee-byeol later.

Confession of a high school academy student with no influence.

A confession from a direct descendant of Alice Group, one of the ten pillars supporting the Korean economy.

Eunha calmly assessed the situation.

There was no way he didn’t know what to prioritize.

“─Sorry. Let’s talk next time.”

“ah….”

So Eunha spoke to her without being heard by those around her.

She tried to catch him, but it was already too late.

Because Eunha stepped into the party venue where the bright lights were shining.

While the students were looking at him with bright eyes.

“─Me too. I like you too.”

Whether or not Cha Eun-woo comes to the front of the procession and points out his smartphone.

Eunha answered confidently.

“really?”

“Did you see me lying?”

The corners of Jeong Ha’s mouth rise significantly.

He asks in a bright voice.

He answered her in a tone of resignation.

“Then are you going to date me?”

“Why are you asking the obvious?”

Jeong Hayang bursts out laughing with joy.

The students erupt in cheers.

Eunha also burst into laughter as if she had no choice.

Meanwhile─.

─We’ll see later.

Eunha sharpened her knife inwardly.

☆

“—What are you thinking?” “What me?”

“You call that a horse?”

I heard he confessed in public.

Eunha had no intention of dating.

It was just an aversion to the situation.

While the students treated the two people’s relationship as if it were their own business and encouraged the atmosphere by asking for a second meeting.

Eunha snatched Hayang’s wrist and made time for them to be alone with her.

“It’s just… you always do what you want. So I decided to just do what I want this time.” “…….”

“I’m not as nice a person as you think, nor am I stupid. I also get angry when someone plays with me, and I get jealous when the person I like is with someone else.”

As if he was going to say it out loud at this point.

Ha-yang Jeong spoke rapidly towards Eun-ha, who raised her eyebrows.

Eunha, who had tried to scold her right away, was speechless.

Because there was no mistake in what she honestly said.

“Okay… I’m sorry. I think I haven’t been very considerate of you all this time.”

It’s all your fault.

Although it may have been a serious concern for Eunha, from Jeongha’s point of view, it may have seemed like he was playing with her.

Eunha took a sharp tone and apologized to her.

But that’s it.

We have to somehow make Hayang’s confession a thing that never happened.

Eunha tried to somehow cover up what Jeongha had done.

Right then.

“Now you know. I’m sorry for troubling you like this. But, I’m serious.”

“…….”

“I like you. Do you… hate me?”

No matter how much it is removed, it cannot be removed.

Jeong Ha, now honest, revealed her true feelings.

Unlike before, my face was red.

The eyes are also shaking uneasily.

“Whoa….”

Even if there are no people around, you can’t ignore her confession.

No, you should not ignore it.

Eunha let out a long breath.

Ok, fine.

This is what happened.

There won’t be anyone around.

Eunha decided to be polite to Jeong Ha, who revealed her true feelings.

“—I wasn’t lying when I said I liked you earlier.”

“really?”

Eunha confessed her feelings.

They say it can’t be compared to the feelings I shared with Lee Yu-jeong in my previous life.

At least he started to have rational feelings for the woman who was devoted to him.

I inadvertently caught my eye on her, and I felt uncomfortable when she was with someone else.

In some ways, it could be said to be affection, and in other ways, it could be said to be possessive.

I guess that means I like it.

To love… , I’m not sure.

K22

So, to be honest, he had rational feelings for Jeong Hayang.

But even so.

“─But I have no intention of dating.”

“…….”

I say this again and again.

Eunha thought that love was a luxury for her.

So Eunha politely added.

Her once bright face suddenly darkens.

But─.

“—I know.” “what?”

“I know.”

Jeong Hayang was not depressed.

She pouted her lips and responded to him.

Eunha couldn’t help but ask.

“Eunha, you are a coward.” “…….”

“You don’t always tell me important things, you often stay to yourself, and I don’t know what you’re going to do in the future, but that’s why you can’t give me time, so I’m saying that. I might end up doing a solo workshop.”

It was the perfect answer.

Eunha was speechless.

I never thought she would know herself in such detail.

“But why do you know…?”

That’s why he couldn’t understand it even more.

Eunha opened her mouth heavily.

Then Jeong Ha said─.

“—So, let’s date for a while.”

“…what?”

“Wait… decide after dating Eunha. You don’t know yet whether something like that will really happen like you’re worried about.”

“…….”

“You never know. During the time we date, you might grow to like me so much that you won’t be able to live without me and will ask me to continue dating.”

Jeongha spits out words quickly with a bright red face.

Eunha just blinked her eyes.

I didn’t expect this… ?

Yoon Lee-byeol had to do the same.

I never thought she would approach me this way.

There was no legitimate reason to refute it.

“…how long is a moment?”

“Um… one year. Exactly one year from today.”

In the end, I was cornered.

Eunha could not refuse her offer.

In fact, I asked her out in front of everyone and now I can’t make it go away.

Eunha was lost in thought.

In fact, it was a pain in many ways to turn the confession into something that never happened.

If I had asked her to date and then immediately said I wanted to break up, I could have gotten the Alice Group angry.

Because that also meant the collapse of Jeong Ha-yang’s prestige.

In the end, the most ideal solution was to date quietly and break up when people lost interest.

In that sense─.

“—If I decide to break up with you in a year, will you break up with me?” “…Yeah… I will. But that won’t happen.”

One year is an appropriate period.

She probably had that in mind when she spoke.

“…Okay. Let’s date for one year.” “huh!”

It’s literally a contract love.

He decided to accept her offer.

“So it’s the 1st from today?”

“Okay, it’s the 1st from today. And now you’re going to have to scold me.” “…don’t pull the ball….”

day 1 from today.

Eunha, who said something unfamiliar, immediately looked embarrassed and stretched out her cheek excitedly.

On the other hand, I had other thoughts.

I feel sorry for Hayang, but… .

Even if I tell her that we will break up after a year, I have to make Hayang not like me so that she can accept it.

Also known as lowering Jeong Ha’s likeability.

It is 1 day from today.

At this time, Eunha had no doubt that what she planned would come true.

☆

I thought it would be less cold in Korea.

“…ha….”

It’s a cold spell.

I don’t think I can protect myself from the cold without a scarf tightly fastened.

Han Seohyun looked at the cloudy sky and blew white breath.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Around the time she left the airport.

The smartphone vibrated.

It looks like communication has finally been connected.

Unable to contact Korea for several days, she quickly took out her smartphone when she heard a welcome signal.

“…I guess I’ll have to wait a bit.”

The message at the top was a message sent by her older sister Han Seo-yeon a little while ago.

The message was that my family would come to the airport to pick me up, so please wait a moment.

After replying that she understood, she decided to go inside Passenger Terminal 1 to avoid the cold.

Right then.

“…….”

I was mindlessly scrolling down the list of messages from top to bottom.

The finger suddenly stopped at a certain point.

Noh Eun-ha’s profile photo.

For some reason, Jeongha is with him.

Eunha has an annoyed face and Jeongha is smiling softly.

thud

Because of the cold wave.

The carrier flopped and fell.

Seohyun Han did not try to raise the fallen carrier and stared blankly at Eunha’s profile.

“…Kick….”

A long time has passed.

The sound that came out of her mouth was a simple giggle.

The corners of the mouth rise.

Seohyun Han giggled, not caring if people around her looked at her.

“It looks like something happened while I was away….”

Although I was surprised for a moment.

Han Seohyun calmly assessed the situation.

After catching her breath, she decided to read the message sent by Eunha.

Soon after reading the message, her face became strange.

“Big Glutton”: … So we started dating (08:49 PM)

I started dating Jeong Hayang.

There was a good reason for that.

Han Seo-hyun tilted her head at the content that was said in an excuse and the content that gave off the nuance that they would break up in a year.

I don’t know what it means.

“—It’s me.”

[…] Seohyun?]

Han Seo-hyun immediately called Noh Eun-ha.

Not long after the ringtone, Eunha answered the phone.

[Are you in Korea?]

“You said you would come today.”

[Oh, by the way, that’s right. I’ve been so busy these days that I forgot… .]

“Forgot? Is this something you’d forget?”

[Why is my sister like this… .]

Han Seohyun asked in a harsh tone.

Then the galaxy bows.

Although I couldn’t see his eyes in person, I remembered how tired he must have been.

She laughed without making a sound.

“Okay, tell me what happened. I won’t understand through text.” [that is… .]

“huh.”

Han Seohyun quietly listened to Eunha’s story.

I understand what the situation is.

“—Are you full now?”

And after understanding the entire situation, she bitterly criticized Eunha.

I could understand his feeling of not wanting to date.

However, Han Seo-hyun dismissed Noh Eun-ha’s excuse as the bullshit of a coward.

“Wait a moment.”

Then a thought suddenly occurred to me.

Seohyun Han sighed softly and hung up the phone.

Among the messages she received, she found a message from Miss Jeong.

“What can we do with something we just started dating…?”

The message sent by Jeong Ha was informing her that she was dating Eunha.

Han Seohyun chuckled after reading her message expressing extreme apologies to her.

Then I called her.

“—It’s me.”

[…] Seohyun unnie?]

I heard a story from Hayang Jeong.

Ha-yang Jeong said that although she started dating Eunha, she was having a hard time seeing Eunha trying to distance herself from her.

“…Okay. Thanks for telling me.” [That sister… . My sister went to Japan… .]

“Stop talking about that now. Or are you just trying to mock me?”

[Oh, no! Sorry! huh! I’ll hang up!]

Seohyun Han hung up the phone.

Then I looked up blankly at the cloudy sky.

It’s snowing.

cold.

White breath rises into the sky.

“…That’s it.”

yet.

Han Seohyun slightly trembled.

This situation was so funny.

This time she called her father.

“—Yes, Dad.”

[Seohyun. We’re almost there now… .]

“I have something to ask you.”

[huh? What? Tell me.]

“Engaged, please find out if there’s someone suitable for me who isn’t engaged yet.”

[…] Did I hear wrong? what?]

“Please find my seat.”

[No, why—!?]

A father’s loud shout can be heard from a smartphone.

Seohyun Han took the smartphone away from her ear and continued speaking when the sound quieted down.

“…I’m not saying I’m going to get engaged. I’m just asking because I’m curious who will be my fiancé if I do get engaged.”

[…] Really?]

“yes.”

[If it’s someone who comes to mind right now… . A fiancé who matches with you would be Lee Yu-cheon of Luminous Group, Yoo Yoo-jun of Youngone Group, and Choi Jeong-hoon of Galaxy Group… .]

“Didn’t Jeong-hoon say you got engaged last time?”

[Ah, you don’t know yet. Not long ago, Jeonghoon had a serious accident and we broke off our engagement. He is currently on probation at the mansion.]

“yes?”

Lee Yu-cheon, Yu Do-jun, Choi Jeong-hoon.

She frowned as she recited the names of people that came out of her father’s mouth.

This is because I heard about the incident that led to Choi Jeong-hoon breaking off the engagement.

Unexpectedly, a big name has appeared in the engagement market.

“That’s enough. Thank you.” [Seohyun, but what on earth is happening… .]

Anyway, I guess I can use it.

Seohyun Han hung up the phone.

Now she called Eunha one last time.

[─Hello?]

“It’s me. Let’s meet.”

[now?]

“Within this week.”

[uh… , this week… .]

“You better meet me soon.”

[why not?]

“I might get engaged.”

[…] what? with who!?]

Noh Eun-ha shouts loudly.

Seohyun Han giggled.

But I covered my mouth with my hand so that no sound could come out.

Eventually, she suppressed the rising corners of her mouth and spoke while looking at the cloudy sky.

“—This is Choi Jeong-hoon from the Galaxy Group. My father just happened to think it would be a good idea to get engaged to people who broke off their engagements.”

[…] Nonsense.]

“You say you’re worried too. I’m worried too. So don’t you think we should meet and have a fruitful conversation?”

The sky is cloudy.

As if you can’t predict the future.

Han Seohyun grinned.
