You're just a friend
9. I tried to ignore it
이지훈
Oh, I can't see it.
"My heart ached so much as I spoke. I thought I liked Chaerin, no, I liked her."
권순영
Hey, just admit it, you like Kim Chae-rin.
Soonyoung was so frustrated that she hit Jihoon on the head, not too hard or too weak. Jihoon glared at Soonyoung.
이지훈
Oh man, why are you hitting me!
전원우
I'm so frustrated, thank you for hitting him instead of me.
이지훈
Kwon Soon-young hitting because she's frustrated, and you guys who don't stop her are all the same.
Jihoon said, shaking his head.
문준휘
There's a reason you're single. It's not because you're in denial that you can't date.
이지훈
No, before that, I liked ㅅ,
문준휘
Before that? So now you admit you like me?
Jihoon sighed, saying, "Oh, shit, I'm screwed." He had unknowingly revealed his true feelings, and upon hearing this, Junhwi, Soonyoung, and Wonwoo cornered him.
권순영
You like it, right? You don't like it either?
이지훈
No, I don't know because you guys keep pushing me.
전원우
Oh, man, you like Kim Chae-rin, so why do you keep crying? You look so frustrated right now.
이지훈
...
Jihoon looked at Wonwoo without saying anything, unable to refute it because it was true.
권순영
You should also learn a little about your heart.
문준휘
It seems to us that you two are both on the same page, but you both ignore and deny it.
전원우
There's a reason why they're both single.
이지훈
Why are you talking about that...
문준휘
It's that frustrating.
권순영
If you like her, confess. It's a two-way street. If you're not sure, you seduce Kim Chae-rin.
이지훈
Flirting?
문준휘
He seems simple, but he's surprisingly strong-willed.
전원우
Didn't you know that all the guys who were trying to seduce her got their entrances cut off?
이지훈
I know that.
문준휘
It's frustrating, even if it fails, try it.
이지훈
...I need to go to the bathroom.
Jihoon turned quickly towards the bathroom as if avoiding the seat.
이지훈
Phew... Lee Ji-hoon, come to your senses. You and him are just friends, nothing more, nothing less.
Jihoon looked in the mirror and spoke softly.
이지훈
Shit...I tried hard to ignore it, why is it happening again?
As Ji-hoon shook his head and lowered his head, someone spoke from behind him.
문준휘
Because I like it.
이지훈
What, when did you follow me?
It was Jun-hwi. Ji-hoon was surprised to see Jun-hwi, but he tried to pretend not to notice and told Jun-hwi.
문준휘
I followed you because I felt frustrated and like you were denying it.
이지훈
I don't like it.
Jun-hwi laughed in vain at Ji-hoon's words.
문준휘
Even if you deny it, I won't believe you, I've heard the whole story.
이지훈
Did you hear?
문준휘
Yeah, I heard everything.
Jihoon smiled bitterly at Junhui's answer.
이지훈
...I think you're right, I like Chaerin.
겨우
Huh... It seems like the plot development is too sudden. Is the development okay?
