My brother's friend, Yoon Jeong-han
7. Truth


On the way home.

It's dark and quiet.

But since I'm with Senior Yoon Jeong-han, I'm less scared than when I'm alone.


윤정한
Suyeon.


홍수연
Yes, why?


윤정한
I have something to ask.


윤정한
It was like that at school and it is like that now,


윤정한
Why aren't you looking into my eyes?


홍수연
...

I thought about it for a short while, wondering whether to say it or not.



홍수연
That rumor.


홍수연
You fought 12 people and won... Is that true..?

I told that rumor to senior Yoon Jeong-han, and it was scary.

I don't think he hits women either, right?

no way...

I said I liked it, so I won't hit you...



윤정한
Do you believe that rumor?


홍수연
...


윤정한
You seem to believe it.


윤정한
If you're scared of me because of that rumor,


윤정한
There's no need for that, Suyeon.


홍수연
yes?

I looked at Senior Yoon Jeong-han, wondering what he meant.


윤정한
That rumor is false.


홍수연
Are you exaggerating..?


윤정한
The kids who fought with me are my friends.


윤정한
Actually, we didn't even fight, so I don't know why the rumor spread like that.


윤정한
It's true that I'm good at fighting, but I don't beat people.


윤정한
And even if that rumor is true, I won't hit Suyeon.


홍수연
yes,?


윤정한
I told you, Suyeon, that I like you.



윤정한
How to hit someone you like.


홍수연
...

For a moment, I felt like my heart stopped.

It was just my imagination.


윤정한
There's no need to be afraid anymore, so can you come closer?


윤정한
You seem like a stranger...

Until now, I have been walking about 4 meters away from senior Yoon Jeong-han.

As I was walking without listening to the person who told me to come closer, Senior Yoon Jeong-han gently grabbed my arm and pulled me closer.

My senior's shoulder touched mine.


윤정한
When I said it earlier, you should have just come.


윤정한
Then it wouldn't have gotten this bad.


홍수연
ah,


홍수연
Get off!


홍수연
From here on out, I'll go alone!



윤정한
Come with me, I won't joke around.



10:30 PM

홍지수
Yoon Jeong-han, you went out so long ago and now you're coming in.


윤정한
I was late because I was looking for Suyeon.


홍지수
...

Hong Ji-soo glares at me.


홍수연
Why, why are you looking at me like that..?


홍지수
Did you get hit again?


홍지수
Didn't he come?


홍수연
...


홍지수
I guess it's true since you can't speak.


홍지수
Okay, go in.


홍지수
Yoon Jeong-han, you're leaving now.


윤정한
Why, I'm going to sleep.


홍지수
As you wish?


홍지수
No, get out.


윤정한
Hey, don't push!!




Senior Yoon Jeong-han left.

Hong Ji-soo was sitting on the sofa and looking at me.

Why are you setting the mood...


홍수연
Do you have something to say?


홍지수
I have it, but I don't want to do it now.


홍수연
What is that,


홍지수
Because it seems like you haven't decided yet.


홍수연
What can't I decide?


홍지수
...


홍지수
When you think you've decided, I'll ask you then.


홍수연
Why bother?


홍수연
Just ask now and be done with it.


홍지수
Little brother,


홍수연
Why are you so disgusting?


홍지수
Should I go in and rest now?


홍수연
Ugh, that's creepy.
