[Chapter 136]

[Prelude to Love (7)]

─Did I hear wrong just now?

Han Seohyun spoke so naturally that a serious story did not sound like a serious story.

It felt like he was saying that he wanted to eat together tomorrow.

Eunha couldn’t believe her ears.

“…Could you say it again? I think I misheard….”

Eunha decided to check again.

So he spoke to her in a crawling tone.

Seohyun Han said─.

“—Get engaged to me. Did you hear it correctly this time?”

“crazy….”

Han Seohyun took a sip of coffee and scolded Eunha as if she hadn’t heard this too.

Eunha let out unfiltered admiration.

It was really crazy.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

“No, why is the story suddenly getting sidetracked? Sister, don’t play around.”

“I’ve never strayed from the side streets, and I’m not playing tricks on you.”

“Then what is it?”

“What? You’re being serious.”

“why not?”

You’re engaged.

Even though I am thinking about it this seriously.

When she mentioned that she was engaged, she seemed to be thinking peacefully about the world.

Of course, she was the person who least wanted to welcome the engagement.

Eunha couldn’t help but ask.

“Because that’s how you and I can solve the problem reasonably and efficiently.”

“…….”

Reasonable, efficient.

Eunha’s eyes changed after hearing what she said.

Until a moment ago, he had half thought she was joking, but then changed his mind.

I thought it was worth listening to at least once.

“I’m a person who really hates anyone interfering with me.” “That goes for me too.”

“That’s why I don’t like the situation where someone from above is trying to arrange my engagement regardless of my feelings.”

“yes.”

“And you are thinking about trying to get Hayang to take her mind off you.”

“yes?” “That’s why you’re getting engaged to me. The reason I’m in this situation right now is because I don’t have a fiancé. So you’re taking my fiancé’s place.”

“hmm….”

“And you can keep Hayang in check by getting engaged to me. What do you think? Isn’t this the most reasonable and efficient solution in this situation?”

Han Seohyun sighs and drinks coffee.

Eunha was fascinated by her words.

It did make sense.

By coincidence, their interests coincide.

Reasonable and efficient.

But Eunha couldn’t answer hastily.

─I kept putting it off to avoid getting engaged.

Eunha remembered the reason why she had not been engaged.

He thought that no matter who the partner was, he would definitely hurt the person he was betrothed to.

But if the other person is Han Seohyun─.

─No.

If it’s her, it’s even worse.

Emotions took precedence over reason.

It’s inefficient.

Nevertheless, Eunha placed emphasis on emotions.

I had to decline her offer.

When he opens his mouth after silence─.

“—You are not misunderstanding, are you?”

“uh?”

“The engagement I told you about is one with a very political connotation. It is a pure arranged marriage without any irrational emotions such as love mixed in.” “…….”

“I’m just saying this just in case, but if you think I’m proposing engagement right now because I have feelings for you, I want to tell you that you’re making a huge mistake.” “So this is just a business deal?”

Han Seo-hyun’s comment hits him as if she read his mind.

Eunha, who was momentarily shocked, tried not to show her emotions as much as possible.

Then, he cleared his throat with great effort and confirmed the contents of the conversation with her.

She nodded.

“It’s an engagement we made out of mutual need, not because we like it.” “…….”

“Or… do you have feelings for me? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be polite to at least tell me after breaking up with Hayang?” “…There isn’t one.” “Isn’t that done then?”

I feel like I’m somehow caught in a trap.

Eunha looked at her with a stern face.

When we make eye contact, Han Seohyun smiles softly.

For some reason, Eunha couldn’t keep looking into her eyes, so she turned her head.

“We are only getting engaged, but nothing will change in our relationship. Eunha, you are as you are, and I am as I am, just carrying on as usual.”

“…I understand that you’re saying it’s only a formality. But is that okay? Even if it’s a formal engagement, an engagement is an engagement. If my sister likes someone in the future—.” “—Don’t worry, that won’t happen. I will take care of my work.”

“…….”

The atmosphere suddenly became colder.

Eunha quickly closed her mouth and nodded like a machine.

Han Seohyun says nothing.

Eunha watched her as she continued to drink coffee.

At the same time, he tried to put into words the strange intuition he felt after talking about the topic of engagement.

It was a feeling that needed to be addressed.

“Sister, could it be….”

“why.” “Maybe you like me?”

“You know that’s excessive self-consciousness, right?” “…….”

Han Seohyun accepts without any change in expression.

Eunha was speechless.

Unable to refute Han Seohyun’s words, he felt his face getting hot.

I regretted not saying it.

“…Still, if we get engaged, let’s add just one clause.”

“What clause?”

Still, I had to say something.

He cleared his throat and continued speaking.

“Don’t fall in love with the other person.”

“If that’s the case, don’t worry. Eunha, are you sure you won’t fall for me?” “…isn’t that overly self-conscious, sister?” “Do you want to get scolded?”

Han Seohyun laughs.

He somehow felt like he was losing.

Deep down, I was displeased with her being so confident.

I felt like I was coming for no reason.

Right then.

“—I’ll also add a clause.”

“What clause?”

Eunha’s counterattack ended in failure, and her counterattack began.

Eunha had a hunch.

There is a good reason why Han Seohyun giggles at herself.

Eunha decided to pull herself together.

She─.

“—If the person you truly like appears… then you can just pretend the engagement never happened.”

“Then doesn’t that mean there is no benefit to you? Then, if you are serious….”

“I don’t need it.”

“You don’t need me either?” “Then it’s a clause that doesn’t matter if it exists or not. I was confident.”

“what?”

“You won’t break off the engagement. I think you have some merit.”

“Aren’t you overly self-conscious?”

“Well… what about it?”

“…….”

As if what he said would be right.

Han Seohyun smiles wordlessly.

Eunha couldn’t answer.

I felt like whatever I said would be rebutted by her.

It feels like I’m on someone’s board.

Eunha later remembered the assumption that she had caused this situation.

I feel like I was tricked.

Still, it doesn’t feel bad… .

It feels uneasy and uneasy somewhere.

Eunha decided to calm down the feelings she couldn’t express in words.

But I have to tell Hayang, what should I say? There’s no way Hayang would like this… .

Then, Eunha fell into trouble.

It was nice to get engaged.

The problem is that getting engaged at the time of dating Jeong Ha is tantamount to insulting Alice Group.

I had to persuade Jeong Hayang.

“Don’t worry about that.” “what?”

“Aren’t you thinking about what to tell Hayang right now?”

“…How did you know?”

“If you pretend, you’re just pretending. I’ll tell Hayang. Until then, Eunha, don’t tell Hayang.” “…You? What?”

“You don’t have to know.”

At that time, Han Seo-hyun says that she will solve it on her own.

Eunha was embarrassed.

But since she spoke confidently, I decided to agree.

“─Eunha, you can date Hayang and get engaged with me.”

“Hearing that, I feel like trash.”

“Do you know that now? You leg of lamb.”

“…….”

“And I have a big heart, so I don’t really care who you date or how many people you date. All you have to do is remember that I am your fiancé.” “That won’t happen, so you don’t have to worry.”

“I hope that doesn’t happen to me either.”

“…sigh….”

I can’t refute that.

Eunha, who had suddenly crossed her legs, groaned and lowered her head.

what? Why does it feel like I came here to remove a lump but just added another lump?

Ah, probably not.

My relationship is with Jeong Ha.

The engagement is with Han Seohyun.

Eunha sighed as she recited what she said.

I felt like I was mortgaging my life.

☆

The next day, same time, same place.

Seohyun Han greeted Miss Jeong.

“Welcome, it’s been a while.”

“Yeah… it’s been a while.”

While Han Seo-hyun’s expression was calm, Jeong Ha-yang looked somewhat anxious.

That has to be the case.

Jeong Ha-yang learned how to survive in the political and financial world from Han Seo-hyun.

This is because whenever Han Seohyun called her, she usually called her for something bad.

Sure enough─.

“─What…?”

“I decided to get engaged to Eunha.”

“…engagement…?”

engagement.

Hayang Jeong was visibly embarrassed by the words that came out of her mouth.

The air vibrated.

The table shook.

The coffee in the mug sloshed loudly.

Nevertheless, Han Seohyun did not show any signs of agitation.

Rather─.

“—It seems like you’re still very bad at hiding your emotions. Seeing you so embarrassed.” “…Does this not look embarrassing?”

Han Seo-hyun’s reprimand.

Hayang asked her, clenching his fist under the table.

There is anger in his voice.

Nevertheless, Han Seohyun showed the confidence to snort.

“You shouldn’t be embarrassed by something like this. If you want to be loved by Eunha.” “…What are you talking about?”

She even made Hayang shut her mouth at once.

Jeong Ha, who was momentarily shocked, lowered her head and asked her.

Then, as if he was anxious.

She drank her coffee in silence.

“As expected, Korean coffee is good. Espresso rather than drip coffee.” “sister….”

“You need to know how to wait calmly. If you want to be loved by Eunha.” “…Chi. What do you mean? Please tell me.”

The energy that almost caused the entire cafe to collapse completely disappeared.

Seohyun Han put down her glass and looked around.

When she saw that people’s gaze had gone, she opened her mouth.

“She’s a coward who tries to take a step back when someone says she likes her. She probably feels pressured because she doesn’t have the confidence to give as good as she gets.” “…I know that now. But even if I know that, I’m not sure what to do.”

“If you go forward, he goes back, so of course you have to go back and make him come forward.”

“…Are you saying to push and pull?” “It’s ambiguous to call it a push and pull….”

Jeong Ha expressed curiosity.

Seohyun Han chose her words.

She was able to read the emotions of people looking at her, and was confident that Eunha’s thoughts would not change simply by pushing and pushing.

Noh Eun is a coward who gets scared and wary when he senses other people’s emotions.

Noh Eun-ha, who did not have feelings for others, began to show emotions, even if only slightly, to others.

It’s a good thing.

However, he seemed to be unfamiliar with the feelings that arose in him, to be more precise, love for the opposite s*x.

In some ways, it seemed like he was afraid.

So─.

“—Okay, this might be a better way to put it. I have to pretend I’m not interested and let him get over it.” “huh?”

“The reason she’s trying to stay away from you is because you like her. It’s not because she doesn’t like you.” “…Keep talking.”

“So if you think about it the other way around, if you show her that you don’t like her, wouldn’t she be less wary and come closer to you?” “…….”

“The point is that you must never let it be known that you like her. That’s how you attract Eunha, and then make her admit her feelings and turn her into a girl who can never live without you.” “…That’s what my sister is doing now.”

“Isn’t that why she said she would get engaged to me this time without any suspicion?”

“…eww….”

“Eunha is that kind of girl. I don’t want to date her, but I want to be with her. She doesn’t have a trashy mindset.”

“…don’t call me galactic trash.”

“Then I’ll call it octopus feet.”

“…eww….”

Jeongha is crying.

Han Seohyun chuckled as she looked at the girl who was two years younger than her.

Eventually, she loosened her clenched hands and muttered.

“…But that’s something only you can do. It’s not my style. I’m not confident I can do it well….”

“There’s nothing we can do about it because everyone has things they’re good at and things they’re bad at.”

“So you’re saying I can’t be loved by Eunha?”

“You mean there are other things you can do.”

“…what do you mean?” “If there is someone who wields a stick, there must also be someone who offers carrots.”

“…are you the one who wields the whip? I’m the one who gives the carrots?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“…….”

“Actually, Hayang, what you’re worried about is probably something that only time can solve. But you….”

“There are only 342 days left.” “Yeah… I was counting.”

“Of course. Today is the 23rd day.”

“Anyway, it will be difficult to change the galaxy’s mind within a year. It’s the same for you and me.”

“…….”

“So, won’t you join hands with me?” “…Are you saying we want to cooperate?”

“that’s right.”

“…….”

Han Seohyun stretched out her hand on the table.

Jeong Hayang stared at Han Seohyun’s hand.

I understood her point, but I didn’t want to hold her hand.

Because─.

─In the end, there is only one person connected to the galaxy.

And Seohyun is getting engaged, and I only have 342 days left.

It was a completely unfavorable alliance.

Han Seohyun shouldn’t do that, though.

Jeong Hayang gave Eunha a carrot for Han Seohyun, but when the time came, she broke up with him, and she could not help but imagine that she would tie Eunha up with an engagement.

Right then─.

“—I know what you’re worried about, but think about it carefully. There’s no guarantee that it’s just one person who connects with Eunha, right?”

“…huh?”

Seohyun Han added.

Jeong Ha-yang tilted her head.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Then Han Seohyun told her as if it was obvious.

“Do you really think there’s only one person who gets involved with the galaxy?”

“…….”

“There is a saying that a hero has three wives and four concubines. I really hate words that seem to justify the harem, but unfortunately, today’s world is one where the system of monogamy has lost its meaning. Isn’t that right?”

“…That’s right. That’s right.”

Han Seohyun asks vaguely.

Jeong Ha-yang nodded.

It was a public matter in the world of politics and business.

There were quite a few people who kept their fiancés and lovers separate, just like what happens between two people.

As a result, Hayang Jeong was not happy with the current situation and was unconsciously accepting the abnormal situation.

“It’s a world where the powerful control everything, and it’s a world where people flock to the powerful.” “…….”

“Under such circumstances, what do you think will happen if Noh Eun-ha goes out into the world? Do you think the world and people will really leave her alone?”

Jeong Ha-yang shook her head.

It is a galaxy that is still attracting attention.

I had no idea how much more attention I would receive after graduating from the academy and making achievements.

But obviously─.

“—There will always be women around you. That’s still the case.”

“…That’s right. I’m sure it will.” “Despite what Eunha may think, he can’t have just one woman. It’s not impossible, but it’s especially true if he’s thinking about changing the world.” “…….”

“So, the person who will join Eunha must be prepared to become a member of the harem. If you try to take over with a clumsy mind, you will only get hurt for no reason, right?”

Everything Han Seohyun said is correct.

Before she knew it, Ha-yang Jeong was nodding her head, immersed in her story.

I concentrate without realizing that the coffee is getting cold.

“There will be many women in the future, and you will have to fight with those women to share Noh Eun-ha’s heart. So, now is an opportunity when there are no women yet.” “What I’m saying is that you should have it all to yourself when you can.”

“I mean, consolidate your position.”

“therefore….”

“So, let’s join hands with me. By joining hands, we will keep other women in check so they don’t cause problems in the future. If we create a harem, internal strife is bound to occur. So shouldn’t we create sides to prepare for that?” “…You’re right. Yes, I like it.”

Hayang Jeong knew how to see reality.

As Han Seo-hyun said, Noh Eun-ha will create a harem even if she doesn’t like it.

That’s the case even now.

Isn’t it like straddling both legs?

Therefore, she held Han Seohyun’s outstretched hand.

“But sister, are you saying you will be the first?” “Why are you dissatisfied?”

“I confessed first….”

“Then, if you are confident in managing the girls who will come in, you can do it. I don’t mind. It’s easier that way.”

“…No. I will just follow what my sister says.”

“Okay, good idea.”

That day, the two exchanged secret promises about Noh Eun-ha’s married life, which she did not know about.

And─.

“”””─What kind of bullshit is this?””””

Not long from that day.

Noh Eun-ha and Han Seo-hyun’s engagement caused an uproar in the world.

It’s literally like eating stir-fried beans in the heat of lightning.

Less than a month after Noh Eun-ha started dating Jeong Ha-yang, his engagement ceremony was announced.

“”””crazy… .””””

My relationship is with Jeong Ha.

The engagement is with Han Seohyun.

The Noh Eun-ha lamb leg theory spread.
