Chapter 422: Chapter 422
.
Her voice filled my ears.
âDonnie,â she called.
âUh-huh.â
âSince you werenât here in this apartment,â said Yeo Ryung in a subdued voice. I just nodded. She continued, âI really hated that.â
âMe too,â I replied composedly.
Pulling me more tightly into her arms, Yeo Ryung added, âI really wanted to move out of here. I did trust that youâre gonna come back like thisâŠâ
âI did too.â
âDonât go anywhere from now on.â
Dropping those words, Yeo Ryung gave me a bear hug. Yeo Dan oppa was standing behind her while throwing a complicated glance at me.
I showed a timid smile at him. Instead of grinning back at me, he stretched his hand and just patted my head.
I closed my eyes stealthily at his rhythmical touch. Being surrounded by a warm atmosphere, I was about to fall asleep as soon as possible.
Swallowing the words that I couldnât let out to both Yeo Ryung and other kids, I just left those unspoken. These people said to me to not leave, but I couldnât help that.
âJust once⊠I think things will work out if I go there again just one more time,â I murmured to myself.
There was a time that I had been thinking it would be better to rather know nothing while being afraid of getting aware of the truth. However, I didnât think that way anymore. Just by finding out a few truths, I was able to escape from the long-time concerns that bogged me down. And now if I could grasp all the truthsâŠ
âNext March 2nd, I should meet the author of this novel!â I promised myself. I decided to ask everything about what the person was aware of, if the person knew about me and understood what he or she had done. It would be best to see the author in person; however, maybe sending an email would be enough to get all the answers. It wouldnât be that difficult. I clenched my fist.
Opening my eyes back, I looked at Yeo Dan oppa.
I recalled the original story of this novel again. Since Yeo Dan oppa wouldnât date a girl who had ended her friendship with his little sister, he and I could still become an official couple due to his will.
The love and relationship between us, which felt like wearing someone elseâs clothes, were all mine. It was utterly all my share.
âYeo Dan oppa,â I uttered.
âUh-huh?â
âI said this beforeâŠâ
Yeo Dan oppa nodded. I took a deep breath.
Lucas told me to look further and at a wide-angle. He insisted that a pressured choice couldnât be the right choice.
If someone asked me in the past that I wasnât pressured to make that choice, I couldnât answer that question confidently. Thatâs because I had believed that if somebody in this world could like me for a long time, only Yeo Dan oppa could be that person. That was actually true too.
In fact, I also trusted that I didnât have a choice. All my wish, desire, effort, and action seemed useless back then.
Since that belief turned out to be not true right now, I continued speaking again.
âI like you very much.â
And that was my first, sole choice toward Yeo Dan oppa.
With his eyes wide open, Yeo Dan oppa soon burst into laughter. It was the most bright and shiny smile that I had ever seen in this cold weather.

The last day of the winter break ended. I became a sophomore in high school.
Article 35. The New School Year Starts with Nationwide Number 1! (Part 1)
Frankly speaking, no one would like the beginning of the new semester. So did I.
I couldnât understand the main characters in animations who shouted, âAja! Aja! Way to Go! Fighting!â on the way to their first day of school.
Who on earth would like the end of the break? Besides, having low blood pressure, I wasnât able to open the morning delightfully while enjoying the brisk air. Thus, I couldnât even dare to dream about opening the first day of school like those characters in novels or animation.
âA hypotensive patient, who canât wake up in the morning, wonât be able to become the main character⊠Hey, donât discriminate against people because of their level of blood pressure!â
Rambling such thoughts in mind, I flung open the front door. Instead of an electric scooter, there were a few small flower pots next to the house beside our unit. Two shadows in front of that door came into view. They turned to look in this direction then.
