Paranoid Love Affair chapter 108

108
“Unless my sister gives me… … .”
Yun-woo is not a person who manages facial expressions well.
Seeing his rapidly darkening expression on his face, he knew that Yun-woo was never listening to him well, but… … .
Still, Ji-eun couldn’t stop talking.
Even if Yun-woo’s suspicions spread to Ji-eun and this relationship could be broken and broken, it was better than being solidified with lies.
“This is a present from Hyerim. While walking around the store, comparing this and that… … . Everything from the contents to the packaging was prepared by Hyerim. I only paid half the money.”
“… … .”
“The one who told me about your birthday and the one who asked me to have a birthday party, it’s all Hyerim.”
Yoon-woo, who quietly shut his mouth, did not look at Ji-eun.
It was as if he was looking at the dust flowing in the air.
It is the same as not looking at anything.
It always is.
Even when walking side by side, Yun-woo seems to be walking in a different world alone.
The time we spent together, the memories that will remain as memories for Ji-eun, do not seem to remain in Yun-woo’s head.
It doesn’t seem to make any impression.
So, things that are self-evident to Ji-eun are not accepted by Yun-woo.
Despite the fact that the earth is round, that there is a large continent on the other side of the sea, and there are so many reasons to support the clear fact, how many people have sold it as a vain lie?
How much adversity did it take before it became common sense?
But now that those facts have become common knowledge, even in this age when astronauts take pictures of what the earth looks like and show them what it looks like, there are people who insist that the earth is not round.
In Ji-eun’s eyes, Yun-woo was such a person.
No matter how much evidence is presented, Yun-woo is never convinced. This time too… … .
“… … It cannot be.”
“Why not?”
“Hyerim didn’t even know that today was my birthday. Far from celebrating my birthday… … .”
“Know. knowing that That’s on purpose! Think about Hyerim’s attitude toward you during that time. Isn’t that an obvious lie?”
“What is a lie? You lied to me all this time, and only today did you reveal it… … .”
“no!”
There is no one in the world who does not lie.
The only difference is how big a lie is and how badly it is a lie.
Among them, lies that are done with evil intentions, and that are done only for one’s own gain, without regard to the damage the other person may inflict by the lie are called fraud.
But what on earth did Hye-rim gain by deceiving Yun-woo?
Hyerim only suffered damage.
From start to finish… … .
Although Hyerim is a liar, she is not a con artist.
Ji-eun’s thought was that the sincerity contained in the lies Hye-rim had done, and that warm kindness could not make her roll on the dirt floor.
It was a wish that Yoon-woo, whom he liked, would not become a person who coldly turned away from the feelings of others.
“I asked you to congratulate me on your birthday. I told you to let today be a good day. Hyerim… … Just this morning… … .”
However, in order to accept Ji-eun’s words as such, in Yun-woo’s mind, the venomous figure of Hye-rim was firmly established.
There was a very large gap between that figure and the image of Hye-rim that Ji-eun claims.
So Ji-eun’s words were not words of persuasion to change Yun-woo’s heart, but rather the seeds of doubt.
I wonder if Ji-eun has other intentions, or Ji-eun, who is tired of living with Yoon-woo, is trying to cut off her relationship with Yun-woo by uttering nonsense… … .
“… … It cannot be.”
“Think about it, Yoon-woo.”
“Still alive. That tone, facial expression, and action… … It was really a contempt for me.”
“no. There’s no way Hyerim can despise you!”
“I do not know… … Why does my sister say this to me… … .”
“If it ends like this, you will definitely regret it. You and me.”
“… … It’s hard to hear her name now. I don’t even want to think Can’t we talk about something else? Can’t we just go on as usual? We haven’t even had dinner yet.”
“no. please… … yun woo I do not have time. Not now.”
Yoon-woo shut his mouth again and thought about it for a while.
However, Yun-woo’s morning glory support was still lying on the ground, and the vines of thought extending along the support were blooming in a completely different direction than the author intended.
Why is Ji-eun pushing Yoon-woo with these words?
Until this morning, I think I had a good relationship with Ji-eun.
Why did Yun-woo suddenly get tired of it?
Could it be that Yun-woo did something wrong in the meantime? After that, I noticed something.
In that way, the negative function expression in Yun-woo’s mind once again arbitrarily interprets and reconstructs the received information, yielding bizarre results.
So, in the end, the words that came out of Yun-woo’s mouth were completely absurd, in the eyes of Ji-eun, that did not fit the situation.
“I… … If it’s because noona and Hyerim don’t like to be friends all the time… … . I’m really sorry. I’m not in a position to say that… … . I won’t. Now really… … .”
“… … what?”
That was the conclusion Yun-Woo drew.
The moment the door to Ji-eun’s house was opened, I thought it was wrong to say something presumptuous because I was controlled by emotions.
It was only Yoon-woo that made him feel hopeless after hearing abusive language from Hye-rim.
It is a problem between Hyerim and Yunwoo.
Yoon-woo has no right to meddle in the subject of living on Ji-eun’s favor, or even meddling in Ji-eun’s personal relationships.
Even if Hye-rim hates Yun-woo, that doesn’t mean Ji-eun shouldn’t be friendly with Hye-rim.
Ji-eun spent more time with Hye-rim than Yun-woo.
Their relationship will be much stronger than that of Yun-woo and Ji-eun.
But will Ji-eun just cut off contact with Hye-rim?
If Yoon-woo is the reason for the breakup with Hye-rim, wouldn’t it be better for Ji-eun to expel Yoon-woo and restore her relationship with Hye-rim?
Yun-woo, who had always thought that he did not want to beg for favor from others, but now his attitude was abject.
It is because being alone from the beginning and falling apart once built up are completely different.
More sad than a barren wasteland, the ruins of which the remnants of civilization are scattered haphazardly.
The wind of loss blowing there makes my bones shiver.
However, as soon as he spoke with the thought that he did not want to be abandoned, he saw Ji-eun’s expression contorted with anger, and Yoon-woo was completely exhausted.
It was because he accepted that Ji-eun’s anger supported Yun-woo’s own idea that Ji-eun also doesn’t want to be with Yoon-woo.
‘After all, it’s better to forget things like birthdays.’
If you have expectations, the results are always bad.
But was this such a big mistake?
It’s been about 20 years since I was born, and I was expecting something like the day when a candle was put on Yunwoo’s birthday cake and the fire was lit… … .
“I’m sorry, sister.”
“… … What are you talking about now?”
Ji-eun’s voice gradually subsided, and the young anger in her eyes seemed to grow more and more fierce.
Seeing that, Yun-woo thought that it was all wrong now.
Now, no matter what you say, there is no turning back.
“If my relationship with Hyerim is broken because of me… … . Even so, I said that without noticing… … .”
“… … .”
“Was it a problem for me to live here? right? I guess I’d rather just live alone. i’ll just go I packed my things and went to my own room where I used to live… … . Ouch!”
I thought that was the answer the author wanted, but… … Yun-woo couldn’t finish what he was going to say.
Because at that moment, Ji-eun hit Yun-woo’s abdomen with his fist.
“Two-headed bastard… … .”
In fact, it was Ji-eun who tried to slap her on the cheek. However, Yun-woo’s head was too high to swing his arms.
How painful would it be to slash a fist with Ji-eun’s thin arm?
Still, Ji-eun put all her strength into that fist.
Even if it wasn’t painful, I thought it would be nice if the fact that Ji-eun gave me a lot of strength would be conveyed to Yun-woo.
I hope you can convey how angry you are, why you are angry, and how frustrating it is because Yun-woo doesn’t recognize it… … .
“Why are you making everything so easy? Why do you just let it all go and run away? You said you’d believe me, didn’t you? Yeah, that’s what I’m saying now… … Did you see me as such a light person? Did you think my heart could change so easily?”
“Ugh… … .”
“So you don’t know. Even when such obvious facts are in front of your eyes, you only accept the words that come into your ears and the facts that someone puts you in front of your eyes, no, even that twists and turns as you please!”
Now Yoon-woo was restless.
Ji-eun’s words and abdominal pain all confused Yun-woo.
Of course, Ji-eun’s strength wasn’t great, but because of the height difference between the two, it was coincidentally that Ji-eun’s fist hit the tip of Yun-woo’s inner thigh.
But it was impossible to moan out loud.
Because Ji-eun’s small face was burning with anger, and tears were flowing down from her frowned eyes.
So Yun-woo grabbed his stomach and looked at Ji-eun’s face without opening his mouth.
“To you like that… … . What’s the use of no matter how much I think about it? If I tell you that I like you, that Hyerim likes you, if I tell you a hundred times a thousand times, how much will it be conveyed to you?”
“… … .”
“Words are too light. It seems to scatter in the air before it even reaches your ears. In the end, you have to see for yourself. You have to look and think for yourself.”
Saying that, Ji-eun took out 10,000 won from her wallet and handed it to Yun-woo.
“… … sister?”
“get out. Go out and take a taxi. And go to Hyerim’s house. Right Now.”
“Why all of a sudden… … . Gotta go anyway… … no one is here.”
“there is.”
“I’m going on an overseas trip… … He said we should go to the airport.”
“It is a lie. Last summer, when I asked to go on a trip together, he said he didn’t even have a passport.”
“It may have been issued in the meantime.”
“Even if that were the case, instead of going on a trip, I would be lying at home right now.”
“well… … How did your sister… … .”
“Rather, I want to ask. why don’t you know In the same room, we ate together, we talked together, and besides, you even talked to Hyerim on the phone every night, so why don’t you know Hyerim so much? Why are you the only one acting like that, as if you’ve met a completely different person?”
Like that, Hyerim in Jieun’s story sounded like a completely different person from the Hyerim Yoonwoo knew.
“If there is Hyerim in that house… … So what do you do?”
“still… … .”
That was the more terrifying Yunwoo.
It’s definitely possible to stay at home.
The flight schedule has been delayed, or some other whim… … .
Yun-woo didn’t want to see that face again.
That expression, tone of voice, full of ridicule for Yun-woo… … Everything was terrifying.
“Even if Hyerim is there… … What will change? i’m scared Seeing her again, what will she hear… … .”
“what if… … If you go to see Hyerim now, there will be someone completely different from the Hyerim you saw during the day.”
“If not… … If my sister is wrong… … .”
“Then I will take responsibility. If you go out now and the Hyerim you met during the day is the way you think Hyerim is, then I will not say anything more and will do whatever you want.”
“… … .”
“I know it’s scary. But only once. Even if you look at my face just once… … .”
Ji-eun and Yun-woo could not turn away from saying that with a tear-filled face.
One axis of Yun-woo’s world has already been shattered.
Hyerim had torn down the pillar with a clever ploy, then trampled it on and threw it into pieces.
What the hell is wrong with that?
However… … . If that’s the way the author is satisfied… … .
If that’s the way Ji-eun doesn’t abandon Yun-woo… … .
“okay. I will do that.”
“I’ll also give you the password for their door lock, so memorize it.”
“… … uh? Why do you need it?”
“If I knew you came and knocked on the door, Hyerim will probably pretend not to be there. Then just press the password and open it.”
“It’s trespassing… … .”
“Is that important now? Am I responsible for everything?”
“… … .”
So Ji-eun kicked Yun-woo out and sent him out.
and begged Please, where did Hyerim go? … .
Stay home… … . I hope Yoon-woo doesn’t come back without pressing the door lock password… … .
As soon as Hyerim and Yunwoo saw their faces again, everything seemed to work out.
Seeing Yoon-woo wearing the clothes he gave her, perhaps Hye-rim won’t be able to pretend to be a villain until the end.
Then tonight, the three of us could sit around the cake and sip vodka together.
That was Ji-eun’s last hope, but… … .
As a result, the cake that the author bought was not even taken out of the refrigerator until the end of the day.
Yun-woo did not take a taxi. Although I received the money that Ji-eun gave me, I was planning to return it as it is.
The steps towards Hyerim’s house were infinitely slow.
This is because the time spent with the rabbit for almost a year turned into a feeling of fear, sadness, and betrayal as great as that time, hanging on Yun-woo’s feet and making his steps heavy.
So Yun-woo arrived in 40 minutes, a distance that would take 20 minutes on foot.
Hyerim’s house and the studio building looked like a witch’s hideout to Yunwoo, a den of the devil, or a demon king’s castle.
It was as if he had become a dwarf shoplifter who came to steal from the giant’s bedroom.
‘it’s okay. Probably no one. Just be patient.’
‘Ji-eun’s older sister ordered it, so I only came here for a while… … . No matter what venom he throws at him, you just have to turn around and go back.’
Recalling that, he barely managed to climb the stairs, and Yun-woo finally arrived in front of Hye-rim’s door.
Now it’s the last. This is the end of everything with Hyerim.
smart
“Hyerim.”
smart
Again, as expected, there was no sound in the room.
