Let me try to persuade you.
#42. Tell me you like me, okay?


"Who are you?"



박소현
Oh, that..


박소현
My friend lives here...

Crunch.-


최연준
Hey, here's some side dishes..

At that moment, Yeonjun opens the door and comes out, holding a lunch box in one hand.



박소현
Oh, thank you..

최연준(아빠)
son..?


최연준
Oh, Dad..?


박소현
...??

Sohyun) Ah.. Dad?


최연준(아빠)
Were you at home?


최연준
Uh.. Then why did dad come so quickly?

최연준(아빠)
I finished work a little early.. haha


최연준
Oh.. I see


박소현
...(sob)

최연준(아빠)
Is there a friend next to you?


박소현
Oh, hello..!!


박소현
My name is Park So-hyun!

최연준(아빠)
Yeah haha

최연준(아빠)
Are you planning to leave already?


박소현
Yes, I just came to get the lunch box.

최연준(아빠)
Oh, you're that guy?


박소현
yes?

최연준(아빠)
Tell your mother I said thank you~

최연준(아빠)
I heard you enjoyed the mushroom stew


박소현
Oh, yes haha


최연준
Go, now-


박소현
Uh uh, yeah


박소현
I have to go

최연준(아빠)
already?

최연준(아빠)
It's a bit shabby, but I'll stop by~


최연준
Oh, Dad..;


박소현
no..!


박소현
You should get off work and rest.


박소현
I'm going to go now!

최연준(아빠)
Hey, that doesn't matter~

최연준(아빠)
Go play some more~

Yeonjun pretends not to be able to win because of her father's urging.




...


최연준(아빠)
Does Sohyun like chocolate?

Yeonjun's dad handed me a box of chocolates he had stuffed into a drawer.


박소현
Oh, yes, thank you!

최연준(아빠)
Since he was little, Yeonjun would cry and make a fuss if he didn't have this. Haha


최연준
Oh, Dad... When did you hear that story...;


박소현
lol


박소현
I have a younger sibling who is crazy about chocolate too lol

최연준(아빠)
Sohyun is the eldest daughter at home?


박소현
Yes, I have two younger brothers who are much older than me.


박소현
They're little kids who haven't even started elementary school yet lol

최연준(아빠)
That would be cute~

최연준(아빠)
Take more chocolate with you when you go.

최연준(아빠)
It would be perfect if I shared it with my younger siblings~


박소현
Haha thank you!



최연준
Dad, he has to go now.


최연준
Stop holding on

최연준(아빠)
Oh, I got it~

최연준(아빠)
Yeonjun, you go to your room and get me a box of chocolates.

최연준(아빠)
Please take care of our Sohyun


박소현
lol..

'Our Sohyun'...

What should I do? I guess my father likes me..><!


박소현
(Drinking kimchi stew, slurp slurp)


최연준
okay

The Fed headed to the room like that.


Clank-


최연준(아빠)
lol

최연준(아빠)
Even though he acts a little prickly, he's actually a good kid at heart.. haha


박소현
Yes, of course! I know..!!

최연준(아빠)
How cute I was when I was little

최연준(아빠)
The neighbors saw Yeonjun and told him that he should definitely become a celebrity~


박소현
Hahahahaha really?

There isn't even a speck of aegyo now.

Are you only doing this to me?


최연준(아빠)
...But when Yeonjun was 11, his mother passed away from a chronic illness and he wandered around a lot.

최연준(아빠)
From then on, I became less talkative and in middle school, I started hanging out with bad guys...

최연준(아빠)
My insides have all been turned upside down.. haha


박소현
...ah

I was going to clubs a lot and the nickname 'older man killer' was given to me at that time.

At first, I didn't like Choi Yeonjun either...

I get along well with kids who seem to take everything lightly and are rough around the edges..-

To be honest, it still looks rough

Always playing pranks... Noisy... Sometimes stupid...

The laughter is also great... He is popular... and he is secretly affectionate...

...because I like it

...I ended up liking it

My insides are all scratching.....


최연준(아빠)
Still, I'm glad that Yeonjun seems to have improved a lot since entering high school.

최연준(아빠)
He cut off contact with the bad guys and his face brightened up. It felt like he was seeing the old Yeonjun again.

최연준(아빠)
Is it because I have good friends like Sohyun?


박소현
Hey...what did I...(embarrassed)

최연준(아빠)
lol

최연준(아빠)
Please continue to take good care of our Fed.


박소현
Yes..! Of course!

최연준(아빠)
I like it because it's cheerful~


박소현
lol..


Crunch.-


최연준
Dad, is this right?

Yeonjun came out of the room holding a box of chocolates in his hand.

최연준(아빠)
Yeah, hey, Sohyun brought it to me


최연준
okay


최연준
Let's go, Pakso


박소현
...uh!


박소현
Um..., thank you for the chocolate! I'll enjoy it!!


박소현
good bye!!

최연준(아빠)
Yeah, go in carefully~


박소현
yes





...

"What did you talk about with Dad?"



박소현
huh?


최연준
No...didn't Dad say anything weird...-



박소현
hmm..


박소현
Are you saying that you turned your father upside down?


최연준
...her-


박소현
I guess you were quite a rebellious child when you were young?


최연준
...


최연준
...Well, you didn't have a very good time, did you?

The Fed's face became calm. No, it became a little hazy.



최연준
So you hate it now?


박소현
...what?


최연준
I told you I played badly so you're a bit tired of it now...lol


박소현
...

To begin with, Choi Yeonjun's past wasn't important to me.

Because I like Choi Yeonjun who is in front of me right now



박소현
What if I'm sick of it?


박소현
You don't care about me anyway..~


최연준
...

The Fed said nothing.


박소현
...


박소현
...tooth-


박소현
You look embarrassed when I confess to you


최연준
..huh?


박소현
Are you thinking a lot about my confession?


박소현
Or do you hate me so much that your expression darkens?


최연준
...I didn't say I didn't like you;


박소현
Okay then?


최연준
...


최연준
...that..

I don't know either.

I never thought of Park So-hyun as anything more than a friend, and until recently, I liked Kim Yeo-joo.

As I was sorting out my feelings for Kim Yeo-joo, Park So-hyun's confession suddenly came to me and made me think a lot.



박소현
...Anyway, if I do this, I'll just end up thinking too much


박소현
Why are you so complicated?


박소현
Where did the light and easy Choi Yeonjun go?


최연준
..her?


박소현
Is it because I'm not older?


박소현
Or is your face falling off?


박소현
To this extent, it's a pretty good face..~


최연준
Huh, alone...what are you saying..


박소현
why


박소현
Why can't you just meet her casually? Dating a girl is easy for you.


박소현
Is it not okay to think that easily?

Sohyun said almost as if complaining.

I hated the way Choi Yeonjun's expression became serious only in front of my confession.

I felt suffocated and as if one side of my chest was blocked.



최연준
...


최연준
...Are you stupid?


박소현
what?


최연준
There's no way you can think that easily


최연준
Are you the same woman I met?


박소현
..why


박소현
..why am I lacking something


최연준
When am I lacking?


최연준
I can't possibly take you so lightly.


최연준
If we were just dating lightly, I wouldn't have thought much about it.


박소현
...uh?

What does that mean..?



최연준
under...

The Fed scratched his head as if it was in pain.


최연준
Are Kim Yeo-ju and Yoon Joo-yeon important to you?


박소현
Of course.. we're friends


최연준
Yeah, me too


최연준
All of our children.


최연준
Park So, you too


최연준
Where can you find a friend who just breaks up with you overnight?


박소현
...

Is it precious..?

You're one of the people precious to Choi Yeonjun..?

...but we're friends

Should I like this..

But if you are one of the people who are precious to Choi Yeonjun, I feel at ease even for that one thing.

It felt strange.



박소현
Then..., can I try?


최연준
huh?


박소현
You didn't reject my confession just now..!


박소현
You're still thinking about it, right?


최연준
...uh?

That's how it is..


박소현
okay.


박소현
I'll try.


박소현
Let your heart be inclined toward me.


박소현
So don't run away either


박소현
If you tell me when you've sorted out your thoughts, I'll sort out my thoughts and do whatever I want.


최연준
...her?


최연준
What kind of reckless thing is this...


박소현
Then, should I organize my thoughts quickly~ -3-


박소현
I'm going to push through that thought until it's over, so figure it out!


최연준
...Oh, by the way..


최연준
Is it a confession...or a threat...?


박소현
lol





...

..

.

"Are you in contact with that senior?"



윤주연
What's your business?


최수빈
Can't you just ask?


윤주연
...


윤주연
(That's right, I have nothing to say)



최수빈
Do you hate me that much..?


윤주연
...When did I ever dislike you?


최수빈
You're still being so sharp right now


윤주연
...


윤주연
...ha



윤주연
Do you know why I don't accept your confession?


최수빈
Because you don't like me..?


윤주연
...Rather, it's the opposite that's the problem (mumble)


최수빈
...huh?


윤주연
That's because my last relationship wasn't that good


윤주연
Oh, I think you know that to some extent.


최수빈
...that ex-boyfriend?


윤주연
huh,


윤주연
We've been friends since middle school, so we've been together for quite a while.


윤주연
After breaking up, I realized that I was only hurting the people I was hanging out with.


윤주연
My friend was also her (ex-boyfriend's) friend... This is really... ㅋㅋ


윤주연
I always felt sorry that our fights between the two of us affected kids like Yeoju and Sohyun.


윤주연
That's why I'm even more careful not to make friends.


윤주연
If we break up, the kids will be in trouble too.


최수빈
...


윤주연
So... what I mean is


최수빈
Why do you start with an ending in mind?


윤주연
...what?


최수빈
I don't understand why you think about the end before you even start.


윤주연
Well... it's obvious even without looking


윤주연
Of course, if you date, there will be fights and if the hurt deepens, there will be a day when you break up.


윤주연
In the process, the kids won't be affected at all...?


윤주연
I don't think so


윤주연
And I hate that kind of headache


최수빈
...


최수빈
...I see


윤주연
...

In the end, after pushing it away like this, I somehow felt bad.

It's a little stuffy...

Isn't this what the heart is like...

But I couldn't just act according to my emotions.

Because I know that the responsibility I have to bear for my choices will weigh heavily on me.

In that case, let's not even start...

That makes me feel better..



윤주연
...I'm sorry, I can't say anything else


최수빈
No, I completely understand your feelings.


최수빈
...however


최수빈
...but it's a little cowardly


최수빈
I was so scared that I hid before I even started.


최수빈
You would always look at me and see the end.


윤주연
...huh?


최수빈
...I like being with you


최수빈
A straightforward personality and a responsible appearance


최수빈
On the one hand, I was envious and wanted to be like him.


최수빈
I love spending time with you, so every day is exciting and full of anticipation.


최수빈
I can't help but treasure that time, so I try to keep it going for a long time.


최수빈
Since I started liking you


최수빈
I think this is the first time I've run towards something with such determination.


윤주연
...


최수빈
I'm sorry that I've been pushing forward with my emotions all this time.


최수빈
But seriously


최수빈
I thought it would be okay to bet my heart on you


최수빈
Of course, if you liked it, I would have given you the liver and gallbladder too..ㅋㅋㅋ


윤주연
...Hey, what kind of joke are you talking about..


최수빈
I'm serious lol


윤주연
...


최수빈
What is this.. It's just a stream of consciousness..


최수빈
I just wanted to confess my feelings one last time


최수빈
I'm going to keep nagging you till the end... Me?..


윤주연
...No, thanks for telling me.


최수빈
lol..


최수빈
Anyway, that's it


최수빈
I don't know about you, but...


최수빈
...I've liked it for quite some time


최수빈
Yoon Joo-yeon you


윤주연
...


윤주연
...(heart pounding)

Heart pounding?

Are you crazy, Yoon Joo-yeon?

Are you excited while being rejected?

Ha... really...

Choi Soo-bin....

If you keep pushing in like that, what do you want me to do..........


_



최수빈
So, can't you give me a chance too?


최수빈
If I have no rational feelings for you, tell me


최수빈
Then I'll take my time organizing it.


최수빈
So that you don't feel burdened


윤주연
...


최수빈
You hate me..?


윤주연
..I don't hate it


최수빈
...then?


윤주연
...


윤주연
...Ha, really, why are you doing this to me...


최수빈
uh..?;


윤주연
Yeah, you're my type


윤주연
He's tall, wears horn-rimmed glasses, has a gentle face, and sometimes looks like a loner.


윤주연
I have no choice but to like everything, so it's hard for me too


최수빈
...


최수빈
...don't push me away


윤주연
...


윤주연
...if you don't push it away,


윤주연
What do you want me to do when you're pushing in?


최수빈
...

'side'


최수빈
Just tell me you like me, okay?

Soobin cupped Jooyeon's cheek with his hand and lightly kissed her lips.


윤주연
(shock)

As the corners of his lips parted, his pitiful eyes met mine.

His face looked pitiful, like a puppy that might get hurt at any moment.

His face, trembling but looking earnest, pierced my heart.

Maybe I should have fallen for him a long time ago.

And even after seeing that, how could he not give the answer he wanted...


윤주연
...


윤주연
...I like it too


최수빈
...


최수빈
...It took a long time to hear it from your own mouth.


최수빈
Sigh... (thud)

Soobin relaxed so much that he collapsed on the spot.


윤주연
..what, why are you sitting there


최수빈
I was so nervous that my legs gave out...


윤주연
...What is that..lol


최수빈
I don't know...


최수빈
Don't tell me..


최수빈
I'm so embarrassed right now......

Soobin covered his blushing face with his large hands as he sat down.

It seemed like the confession had quite a big impact on Soobin.



윤주연
What the heck, you started it first


윤주연
Now that you're here...lol


최수빈
...(late hot)


윤주연
He's really funny..lol


최수빈
...what,,


최수빈
I also made up my mind and made up my mind...


윤주연
(snickers)


윤주연
So, are you going to keep doing this?


최수빈
..no,,


윤주연
Okay, let's go (swoosh)

Joo-yeon intercepted Soo-bin's hand and lifted him up. Then he held onto his raised hand tightly.


최수빈
..!


최수빈
Okay, sleep..

Soobin followed behind Jooyeon, held onto her hand.

With his head bowed, he followed the shadow she was leading.

The trembling of the two hands held together remains the same

I felt a pounding pulse.

...

Continued in next episode>>>>>


Guys, the writer is not dead

Don't kill me

I was just busy with my current life

is it so

My weak will played a part in this.

Anyway


Isn't it important to come back?


yes??

Anyway

Now that both couples have come to their senses, things will progress.

The sub couple was the hardest

It's hard to build up the narrative step by step...

If it were up to me, I should have slammed on the brakes and done a somersault.

I have a quick-tempered personality.

however.

Then I'm afraid it might be too out of the blue.

I'm a writer by nature.

Show sincerity

...isn't it lacking?

Big


I don't know, I've been out of the loop for a long time...

I can't quite remember the content...

You're getting old... You're at an age where you even forget yesterday...

I've been using this since 2021, so it's already been 4 years...

It's been a really long time, huh?

I have no conscience.

I haven't finished it in 4 years

Are you a very talented writer?

...hmm


Let's make up~^^♡ (haha)


🫂💖
