Not a friend
Short Story: (Park Ji-hoon) Um.... - Don't worry about it


이여주
hmm...

I'm 19 years old. Why am I sitting on a swing at the playground and sighing at my age?...

"I like you, heroine."

Because it was the first time in my life that I received a confession

If you ask why I am worried about being confessed to

Because he is my soulmate, Park Ji-hoon...

I'm saying that he NEVER looks like a man at all.

But if I worry about it, it's obvious that it'll get awkward again

Aaaa ...

Would you like to hear my story?

.

That day was a day I spent relaxing at home.

Tiring~???? The notification sound rang


It was Jihoon


I replied to your call


But you ask what I'm doing


So I just sent him home


But come out of the house

Jihoon and I live in the same apartment, even next door.


When I opened the door, I saw Jihoon with a stern expression.

이여주
Hey Park Ji Hoon! What are you doing there!?


박지훈
What are you waiting for?

이여주
Do you look a little different today?


박지훈
I got new clothes

이여주
Haha our Jihoon wore a kokoro outfit to get married to his older sister~~


박지훈
That's what I'm talking about....

이여주
?


박지훈
Can't I really marry you?

이여주
M...what...?



박지훈
I like you, Yeoju

이여주
Hey~~ Don't joke around!


박지훈
No kidding, I really like you more than anyone else

이여주
Really...?


박지훈
huh

Jihoon's serious appearance felt so unfamiliar to me.

이여주
Just give me some time...! Just a little...


박지훈
I'll always wait

I just ran with my red face covered

.

.

.

This is what happened...

No, why did that bastard Park Ji-hoon suddenly confess?

이여주
hmm....

Have I ever thought of Jihoon as a man?

Aaak-!! It's complicated!!

Sigh... I should go home first... I have to go to school tomorrow...

Clank-

An unusually quiet classroom

The children's gazes were cold, as if it was because I came.

이여주
Guys....

Then my friend Ji-eun grabbed my arm and led me out into the hallway.

이여주
Ji-eun, why is the class atmosphere like this?


이지은
Hey, did you... get confessed to by Jihoon yesterday?

이여주
Uh...huh...? Oh... that's...


이지은
Now because of that, rumors have spread that you're a man-shaming, flirting girl.

이여주
W...what...? What is that...!


이지은
You know Bae Joo-hyun from our class? I think she liked Park Ji-hoon, but her friend saw him confess...

이여주
.....


이지은
The mood is not good right now...

이여주
I am...!


이지은
Cheer up... Then I'll go...

As I watched Ji-eun hurriedly enter the classroom, I realized that what she said was true.

What should I do? At that moment, my mind went completely white.

"What's wrong with you?"

Someone called me from behind me.


It was Jihoon


박지훈
Where does it hurt?

이여주
Ah...that's not it...


박지훈
Then why are you doing that?

I mean, at that moment, I hated Jihoon so much. It felt like it was all Jihoon's fault.

So I ran away

이여주
It's nothing, I'll go

I sat down as if nothing had happened and took out a book.


Then someone comes in front of me


It was Kim Ye-rim from our class.

Bae Joo-hyun's close friend

I'm starting to get a little scared

이여주
What...what's going on..?


김예림
No, I just wanted to see the face of the guy who stole my friend's boyfriend.

이여주
What are you talking about...


김예림
Can you pretend to be innocent and act like this? It's disgusting.

이여주
So...! I've never stolen a friend's boyfriend...!


배주현
Stop it, there's no way the heroine would do that!


김예림
Joohyun, you are so kind!

A week later

My school life for a week was so hard.

There was no direct violence, but the cold stares of the children and the words they harassed me behind my back were all difficult.

Enough to make me want to die...

Especially Kim Ye-rim made it harder for me

I was about to go into the bathroom


김예림
Oh my, why are you going into the women's bathroom? Men are better, so go to the men's bathroom.

There were many other students there, but at Yerim's loud voice, they all looked this way and started muttering.

I was so embarrassed and wanted to die

I wanted to cry because I wondered what I did wrong


"stop"

I turned around in surprise at the familiar voice I heard from behind me.


As expected... it was Jihoon

When I saw Jihoon, I felt like all the things I had been holding back were going to explode, so I ran.

이여주
Ugh...uhh...


박지훈
Hey...! This lady!

이여주
Gasp... gasp...

The place I arrived at after running like that was the playground.


박지훈
Lee Yeo-ju

이여주
Why are you following me...?


박지훈
This woman...

I really hated Jihoon for calling my name over and over again.

I'm having a hard time like this

What have you lost

이여주
It's all... because of you... Did you know...?


박지훈
I wasn't going to see it myself, so I was going to ask you, but you've been avoiding me lately.

이여주
you...!


박지훈
I know it's my fault, but why didn't you tell me? Do you really dislike me that much?

이여주
.....


박지훈
Don't try to show off your pride in front of me.

이여주
Park Ji-hoon...


박지훈
and....

이여주
.....?

At that moment, Jihoon's lips overlapped mine.

Answer to confession

It might have already been decided

An answer that requires no hesitation


박지훈
Don't worry


박지훈
I'm telling you to answer quickly. If you like it, then like it. If you don't, then don't.

이여주
I'll answer now...


박지훈
okay

이여주
I like Park Ji Hoon, this is my answer, the answer I found after much thought

이여주
no

"The answer was there before I even thought about it."

-THE END-


박지훈
Worried... It would have been better if you hadn't done it in the first place

이여주
Hey, don't tackle me. Can you cancel it?


박지훈
I'm sorry....

Really -THE END-
