Chapter 151 – Impoverishment (2)
‘What the hell is going on…?!’
Tae-ho, who had been smiling until just a moment ago, glared at Han Ye-rin with a serious expression. Unusual atmosphere. I went back at the word to go, but I couldn’t hold back my curiosity, so I came back with her invisibility magic all over my body.
“Tae-tae-ho…”
“I won’t say it twice. Get out of sight.”
I swallow involuntarily at the cold atmosphere that penetrates underground. Habitually, Han Ye-rin’s shoulders tremble, and at the same time, her expression contorts with despair.
“Apologetic? Don’t talk nonsense. Fuck, I’ve suffered more than one or two things. Starting with blocking my girlfriend’s return… Ha ha.”
Taeho presses his forehead with his hand. When ‘return’ came out of his mouth. Both eyes go wide open.
‘Ah, did you know…?!’
It’s an emergency.
All I can say is it’s an emergency. Tae-ho already noticed. You immediately realize why you are angry and what the starting point is. He gasps and looks at Han Ye-rin, who is halfway to the end.
“I’ll make sure you come back as quickly as possible…!”
‘I can’t… Now, if I come back, I’ll never be able to…!’
If Yoo Seo-ha returns now, everything is over. As long as the two of us stick together, we can’t be together, and our obsession is as strong as we’re dying. It’s obvious that any women who come close will be kicked out. Besides, does Taeho love his girlfriend more than he imagined? If you touch even the tip of her hair, the connection will end.
Can’t Guard, One Hit Kill, No Approach.
The moment they return, they are rushed to the defensive. Can never go back to the beginning Perhaps, no matter how much Tae-ho cherishes me as a ‘friend’, if Yoo Seo-ha demands to end the relationship… It is certain that it will be cut off. I’m worried a little, but… That’s it.
Pruning twigs.
The very moment the girlfriend returns, she is cut off. At least until he completely changes Taeho’s mind, or at least until he has enough ‘fussiness’ to disobey his girlfriend’s request to ‘stop dating’… He needs time to spare.
“Go back, I have to go back… Go back to Arin and Socheon sunbaenim…”
I have to tell you this.
While holding onto her pounding heart, she teleports to where her sisters are. The scenery is scattered here and there, but soon merges into one.
“What? Should I stand?”
With Arin sitting on her bench, she waved her hand cheerfully, no, without thinking. Senior Socheon next to her timidly waved her hand in her direction, still wearing a blunt, mannequin-like expression.
“What’s going on?”
A moderately low voice echoed through the flower bed. Looking down, the lunch boxes they had packed were spread out in a mess.
“…What were you talking about?”
“Me? Just… I’m going back to my family soon. I was talking about that.”
“Seol-ah Han. You’ll probably be back soon, so you’d better prepare your mind.”
“Ah… Uh. It’s December now…”
“Yeah. I’m probably going to leave earlier than expected. My dad persuaded me that he still wants to spend Christmas Eve with me…”
The past few months are running through my mind. If you ask me to turn on the gas light, I’ll say, ‘Uh-uh-huh? Yes? What? Not that.
“So, what happened?”
Arin chews on the crab-like horse in a good way.
“Tae-ho noticed. She was blocking his girlfriend from entering the country…”
“What?”
“What?”
The expression on her sister’s face instantly turns to bewilderment. Ia-rin hurriedly swallowed the egg roll she was chewing on, then she asked again.
“You noticed?”
“Yeah. Did you see Tae-ho get mad at Han Ye-rin?”
“I’ve heard rumors. Wait, I can’t believe that…”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
For some reason, Tae-ho realizes that Ye-rin Han has been preventing her girlfriend from returning home. In unbearable anger, she broke off her relationship with Han Ye-rin.
“There’s something more important than that… Han Ye-rin, Han Ye-rin…”
He said he would bring his girlfriend home immediately.
“What?”
“What, what?”
The atmosphere seriously sinks. Everyone here knows. When my girlfriend comes back, it’s all over. Lee Ah-rin is flustered and mutters something like ‘so… So today Han Ye-rin…’.
“It has to be stopped.”
“That’s right. If I return now, I can’t do it. I haven’t even changed Taeho’s mind yet…”
I’ve tried several times before without a break. How iron-clad the mind is, there is no sign that it will come over.
“We’ve done everything we can for the past week.”
“Ugh. Basic karaoke, cinema, study, games… I’ve tried everything…”
The four of us have tried everything. Approaching her in a friendly way, like a girlfriend, or getting closer mentally. He tried everything Taeho would like and approached him as if he were a lover. I gave strength to the Taeho attack regardless of weekdays, but the results were disastrous.
“But it didn’t come through at all.”
Senior Socheon presses her forehead with her hand. The lunch box cools down slowly.
“He didn’t even flinch. Even if I seduced and seduced him like a friend of the opposite sex, he didn’t even move. He drew a line and didn’t even react to it, to the point where he couldn’t tell if it was a person or a stone Buddha… Ha ha.”
Literally. It seemed that there was some ‘progress’ sexually. In my heart, instead of making progress, I keep walking in place over and over again, so I’m going crazy. Me too… I’m just a really close friend. I’ve never gone any further than that.
“…Actually, we only became friends with each other.”
We joined forces with the same goal, but because we had the same goal, we bumped into each other whenever we had a chance. Occasionally, due to conflicting opinions, we even fought while holding each other by the hair… As the time spent close to each other increased, I came to know facts I hadn’t known before. When I came to my senses, we were the only ones close to each other.
“Can the monster… Stop returning home?”
Whether Arin is serious or joking, or whether she has given up halfway, she looks at me with blind eyes.
“If I could stop it, I stopped it long ago… Then, can I stop it now…?”
Arin and senior Socheon shake her heads from side to side at the same time.
“No. Because Dokwang Company refuses everything related to Yijega… In the first place, the lines don’t even overlap. More than that… More than that.”
Irene let out a long sigh. Get off her ground. When her exhaled sighs stop, she looks back and forth between me and her Socheon senior.
“If you block it, Taeho will get angry. Seol-ah. Can you stand Taeho getting angry?”
“…”
There was a bigger problem than that.
“No…”
Can’t stop Just now, we could fall into the abyss Han Ye-rin fell into. The other day, when Taeho called us to the rooftop… When I think of that time again, my heart beats so much that it hurts. I feel like I’m going to be abandoned… I can’t stand it.
I want to be with Taeho for the rest of my life. If you were just thrown away like Han Ye-rin… Your mind would collapse. Can not be done. Unstoppable. In the middle, if you get caught… Ah. No, absolutely no…!
There is no way you can stop it voluntarily! De, if you get caught and cut off your ties like Han Ye-rin… Ugh. Then I might go really, really crazy.
“Well, how do you do it…?”
Completely blocked There is no way out. When my girlfriend comes back… Everything, everything ends…!
“Do you know that Yoo Seo-ha’s father… Hates Tae-ho so much?”
“Yes?”
“It’s in the document Han Ye-rin gave me. I have no choice but to lean on it right now. They said that even before I intervened, they were blocking my return… It’s not impossible. Until then, I have to convince Han Ye-rin…”
“I-I wonder if it’s possible…?”
“It will be difficult.”
Because Han Ye-rin is now at the end.
“…Probably, I’d do anything to change her mind.”

The fear that she will never be able to apologize for the rest of her life.
A very strong fear gripped her chest.
I tried everything from lunchtime that day until after school… But Taeho just threw me away and didn’t respond. Her heart is torn, and it seems like it will be destroyed. I have to apologize, but Taeho doesn’t accept it. Never.
“Uhhhhh”
He groaned while holding her breasts, which seemed to be about to break, with both hands. In the end, she couldn’t do anything and she returned home. I feel a strong sense of shame when I see myself not even being able to apologize. My head hurts like it’s going to explode, and my body is like a deflated balloon, all energy shrunk and I can’t even raise my arms.
“I’m sorry, I have to…”
All failed In order to show that he is sincere, he called Yu Seo-ha’s father and told him to withdraw everything and return to Korea, but this rat-like boss smells money, and he is pushing back and forth saying, ‘I think it’s too early to return to Korea now.’ .
Even when I become desperate and raise my voice… I scratch my insides, saying, ‘Because she’s my daughter, I’ll decide where she goes.’
‘Please just let me go home!’
Rejected.
“Huh… Huh…”
It didn’t take long to realize that I hadn’t intended to send him back early from the start. It’s just, I just don’t like Taeho… I don’t want to see the two of them together. It was pushing back. The flowing tears wet the pillow.
“Next time… Next time…”
Somehow…

The sun that had set is stretching.
Two days.
Two days passed.
Nothing has changed. Taeho still rejected me and left me alone. I am alone.
I met the Temporary Alliance. No, no. I can’t stop my girlfriend from returning home. Fought a great fight.
When he arrives at the academy with his staggering body, he sees Tae-ho already sitting in his seat. Good morning, but no response. My mind, my mind is about to collapse.
The time passes by in an instant, and it is already the second class. I can’t concentrate at all. I can’t even hear the professor’s voice, let alone class. Only the muddy feeling of despair remains and fills my head. I don’t listen to the contents of class. Then, in the middle.
“…Ah.”
Taeho takes out the note I gave him. The few connecting points between me and Taeho. The cold blood regains vitality, and the beating heart slowly calms down.
That note… You’re going to write it?
My heart beats in a different way. With just one thing like this, I can’t stand the pounding with indescribable anticipation. I’m just holding on to one thing related to me. As if you found an oasis in the desert, your heart swells with excitement.
“Tae, Tae-ho…”
“I’ll give it back.”
Ah?
“…Yes?”
“I’ll give it back. Because I don’t need it.”
Tae Ho.
I push the notes to my desk. My expression is dyed with embarrassment like an idiot. Ah, ah… Ah.
“That’s right. I’ll return this too.”
Tae-ho rummages through his bag and pulls out two familiar artifacts.
“Tae, Taeho… What the hell, why…”
No. No, no.
Please don’t.
Taeho, hey… Please, please don’t do that.
“I don’t want to have anything to do with you.”
Come crashing down. The excited mind sinks down, down. The momentary forgotten reality pours out like a tornado.
The desk is cluttered with things. Once again, my heart is stained with black, black despair. My whole body trembled little by little as if I had body aches. Back, all back My vision is clouded by soaring regret.
“Oops, oops…”
The bell rings, and students begin to leave the classroom one by one. Then, eventually. I am left alone.
I regret everything I’ve done so far.
Taeho… Taeho, please, please stop now.
I was wrong, Taeho. I’m sorry Taeho, everything, I was wrong…
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Everything, everything.
Please don’t abandon me, don’t give me back like this, everything. I want to stay by Taeho’s side… But I don’t want to be separated from Taeho.
I have nothing but Taeho. Taeho is the only reason I live. I would go crazy without Taeho. I only have Taeho.
Ah… If only I could turn back time.
If I could turn back time, I would have gone to you instead of trash like Kim Seok-hyun.
All my life… I would have been by your side all my life.
Left alone in the classroom, sobbing like an idiot. Crying… Crying doesn’t change anything. I just want to see Taeho. Because I don’t want to get away because I don’t want to fall Because I don’t want to be left alone
The falling tears wet the desk incessantly.
Heart breaks down The feeling that everything, everything is ruined.
If only I could go back in time, I’d like to kill myself. I want to beat him to death, telling him not to bully me, not to treat me like a dog.
Continues to drift away
On and on, on and on…
If this happens, the fear of falling for the rest of my life sets in. As much as that, no, no…
“Haha…”
Can’t get away
No, never, no, even if I die, I don’t want to be far from you. Never want to fall
I don’t want to fall… I want to stay by Taeho’s side. I hate that it ends like this.
I want to be by your side…
Left alone in the classroom, biting my nails.
Up close.
Up close.
Up close.
Up close.
