This life is from a child role (806)
Side Story 2 Confession (3)
“I’m sorry. “He must have been busy taking care of himself after being discharged.”
When Soo-hyeon opened the door to the private room and entered, Ye-seo, who had been sitting and waiting, gave her an apple with a faint smile.
Suhyeon shook her head as she loosened the scarf she was wearing.
It was better to make an appointment and get some fresh air than to be treated like a patient and waste time and money.
“no. I was discharged because I was fine. “It’s late, but I wish you a Happy New Year and I hope you take care of yourself this year as well.”
“Please take care of me, brother.”
Su-hyeon, who was trying to laugh along with Ye-seo’s bright smile, slowly erased her smile.
This is because Ye-seo looked listless today.
The red eyes that looked like they were crying somehow added to his worry.
“Yeseo, what happened? “You don’t look good?”
For a moment, Su-hyeon thought about pretending not to know, but eventually asked Ye-seo why.
There must be a reason why she, who is so considerate, called him out today.
If you find it difficult to say something, it would be considerate to open the conversation first.
“No, what is happening?”
Ye-seo smiled slightly at his worried question, but the tips of her lips, which had been pointing upwards, sank weakly after a while.
Her expression, which did not match her always confident and bright appearance, aroused bad imagination.
‘Although he is kind, he is not indecisive and is straightforward, so it is unlikely that he got caught up in something… Is there something going on with his family? Or is it really some kind of illness…?’
We mainly talked about work-related things, but since we had known each other for a long time, Su-hyeon also knew a certain amount about her family relationship and surroundings.
Considering that his expression had darkened so much in less than a month, it was highly likely that the problem had arisen suddenly.
“I know what you’re worried about, but it’s not really that. “But why are you wearing glasses all of a sudden?”
“Oh this.”
Su-hyeon, who was examining Ye-seo’s complexion, touched the glasses on the bridge of her nose in response to a question asked of her.
Not yet able to fully control his abilities, he felt the need for glasses when walking around on the street.
This is because the types of shared perspectives have increased compared to the past.
Not only the camera filming him, but also the perspectives of cameras around him were often seen by Su-hyeon as another set of eyes, and Su-hyeon paused several times due to the sudden change in vision.
I desperately needed glasses to help me control my vision so that I could only see what I wanted.
‘I felt like I could control it. So… the feeling of closing your eyes like a wink? When I think about it this way, it seems like a monster with many eyes from Greek mythology.’
Su-hyeon, who was thinking nonsense for a moment, came to her senses when she felt the texture of the glasses frame at her fingertips.
As I spent a few days at the hospital worrying about my abilities, I sometimes found myself lost in this way.
“It’s just for camouflage. “If you don’t wear a hat, it’s better to at least wear glasses.”
Suhyun naturally took off the glasses she was wearing.
If it is an open space, there will be no shared view in a private room without CCTV.
As he expected, the sense of seeing did not change even without the glasses.
“I was also worried that my eyesight might have worsened after falling.”
“I heard you’re healthy. “It’s not because the place where I fell was bad, but I was just so relaxed that I fell asleep soundly.”
As the conversation between the two people was about to reach a conclusion, a small knock was heard from outside the door.
After answering and turning my head, an employee carrying a tray quietly approached me and put down the hot chocolate and some desserts that Suhyeon had ordered.
Suhyeon stared at the hot chocolate in the long, transparent mug.
The combination of chocolate syrup laced inside a transparent cup and white cream and cocoa powder topped with a rich chocolate drink was brilliant.
“After eating about half, add milk and stir it with the syrup below. bon appetite.”
The employee who gently explained how to drink the drink left with a simple greeting.
Thanks to the employee’s appearance, the slightly tense atmosphere between the two was appropriately relaxed.
“I thought the cookies would be delicious, so I bought them together. “Do you like the taste of cinnamon?”
“Yes… thank you.”
Su-hyeon pushed the cookie she bought according to Ye-seo’s taste in front of her and took a bite of the whipped cream on top of the hot chocolate with a long spoon.
The taste was moderately savory but not too sweet and went well with the chocolate syrup.
‘I don’t think syrup is a manufactured product either. Yeseo knows these restaurants really well.’
Suhyun focused on the drink in front of her.
Regardless of the business, I think I was not mentally prepared, but in times like this, it was better for both of us to focus our attention on other things.
‘I’ll call you when I get my thoughts together.’
There is no need to urge someone who already has a complicated mind.
Su-hyeon tasted the cake, which was a bit bitter due to its high cacao content, and praised her choice.
The combination of chocolate and chocolate must be adjusted by the cacao content to ensure balance.
“brother.”
By the time Soohyun ate the whipped cream and enjoyed half of the hot chocolate.
Finally, Ye-seo, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.
‘What are you worried about?’
Suhyun poured warm milk into a mug and looked at her.
Even though she seemed to be preoccupied with drinks and desserts, Suhyun checked her complexion from time to time.
He seemed to have calmed down to some extent, as his color changed compared to when we first met, but I couldn’t tell if he was still nervous because it was something serious.
‘I’m trying to ask you a difficult favor… No, it’s not a request, but it could be because I have some bad news that is difficult to resolve. Has anyone in the family really suffered from a serious illness? Or Yeseo? Now that I think about it, he seems a bit thin… Could it be that he has an incurable disease? These days, cancer is not an incurable disease…’
Su-hyeon maintained a calm expression while imagining various things in her head.
Because it was rude to reveal one’s thoughts before Ye-seo said anything.
Anyway, he didn’t know what was going on, but Su-hyeon made up his mind and waited for her to speak.
He is a close younger brother whom I have known for a long time.
He was ready to help Ye Seo as much as he could.
“My brother collapsed and I was very worried.”
“Huh? Oh, I read all the messages that came to you. Thank you for your concern.”
Suhyun, who had made up her mind, blinked at the unexpected topic.
This is because I wondered why he mentioned it again when he had already finished saying hello to me.
Even though he had doubts, he repeatedly said thank you.
When I recalled the messages that had arrived while I was unconscious, my heart warmed at the concern and goodwill they contained.
‘Yeseo worried about me a lot. That’s why I accepted the promise right away.’
It would be safer to meet once and confirm than to be told a hundred times that it is okay.
Recalling the messages she received at the hospital, Su-hyeon opened her heart a little more.
I didn’t know what Ye-seo would say today, but I wanted to help her, even if it meant going a little too far.
“The reason I was worried about you is because I like you.”
“…? “I like you too… right?”
Su-hyeon, who was about to respond in kind after hearing Ye-seo say that she liked him, read another current in her serious face.
Finally realizing why Ye-seo had called him today, he looked at Ye-seo with a feeling of ‘no way’.
With a stern expression, she looked solemn, like a warrior about to fight a great battle.
“No, it’s not that I like you as a close brother or younger brother… I like you as a man.”
“….”
Suhyun opened her mouth without realizing it.
I needed to say something, but my thoughts couldn’t flow because my mind was bleached white.
“I like you, Suhyun oppa.”
Yeseo drove a wedge towards him.
It was a trick that could not be avoided with laughter or nonsense.
“Uh… just a moment. Yeseoya. “Just a moment…”
Su-hyeon blinked her wide eyes and tried to turn her head, which was not moving.
He was just stupidly repeating the word “just a moment,” but Su-hyeon didn’t notice his actions.
No, I didn’t even know what I was talking about.
‘Yeseo is me? really? ‘You really confessed to me?’
Su-hyeon, who had already covered her mouth, did her best to accept the new information.
If it had been about 4 or 5 years ago, he wouldn’t have been so surprised.
At that time, when we were filming together and often meeting in private, I sometimes doubted whether Ye-seo liked me.
However, he soon concluded that her liking was just a human-to-human attraction, and from then on, he relied a lot on Ye-seo, who was young but had a deep heart.
Among actors of her age, if one were to choose who she was closest to, Ye-seo was the first person who would come to mind, so she was such a big part of Soo-hyeon.
‘Since when did you like me? No, this isn’t important. Yeseo is waiting for an answer now.’
Su-hyeon, who normally would have praised her charms in her mind, today was in a hurry and gathered the words that came to her mind.
Thank you, I’m sorry, I want to focus on my activities…
The comments I used to reject them didn’t fit the situation today.
“Hey… I might feel like it’s a selfish thing to say or a torture of hope…”
Soo-hyeon, who had been thinking for a while, barely opened her mouth when she saw Ye-seo who was still nervous.
He regretted opening his mouth in a disorganized manner, but in the end, there was only one answer he could give right now.
“Is it okay if I hold off on answering for a little bit?”
No matter how much she thought about it, it was difficult for Su-hyeon to feel the feminine charm of Ye-seo, whom she had considered her younger sister, and to accept her as the opposite sex.
However, I didn’t want to become distant from Ye-seo like this, and it wasn’t polite for Ye-seo to refuse and then move on as if nothing had happened.
Of course, not answering right away would be frustrating and disappointing for Ye-seo, but the best answer Su-hyeon could give was this.
“If you say you can’t stand this situation any longer, there’s nothing you can do, but I’m a bit surprised too. Of course, since love is a realm of emotions, it may not be a good idea to think about it rationally. Still, it was sudden and I want to organize my thoughts anyway…”
Su-hyeon carefully examined Ye-seo, slightly blaming herself for being such a bad person.
The fact that a person who had not shown anything until now finally confessed meant that he could no longer hide his feelings, but I was worried that such a mediocre answer would be satisfactory.
As if realizing Su-hyeon’s worries, Ye-seo let out a small sigh.
When he foresaw catastrophe and flinched, Ye-seo suddenly smiled peacefully.
It was a smile mixed with relief.
“thank god. “I was worried that my brother would feel betrayed by me.”
Ye-seo seemed to have relaxed and leaned her back against the chair.
The girl with the bright smile was the Lee Ye-seo I had always seen.
Seeing her as usual, Suhyeon also relaxed his stiff body and muttered softly.
“…I feel betrayed. You love me. “Of course I’m grateful.”
Although many years have passed, Su-hyeon still finds someone’s affection and favor sweet.
I tried to stay away from opposite-sex feelings and relationships as much as possible because they could be toxic to my career, but I didn’t dislike or be annoyed by the person I confessed to.
‘Of course, it’s true that when I look at the other person’s face, I think of the other person’s emotions, so it becomes awkward or I avoid them… But Yeseo doesn’t want to do that… Oh, this is a very selfish thought.’
No matter how much I think about it, it’s selfish to keep holding on to the other person just because I know they like me.
Su-hyeon wondered how much time it would take to come to a conclusion.
One month or two months.
Even if I tried to set a specific deadline, I couldn’t figure it out at all.
“I’ll answer you as quickly as possible.”
In the end, Su-hyeon gave an ambiguous answer in a solemn manner, like Ye-seo before confessing.
Can ‘human Lee Ye-seo’ be seen as ‘female Lee Ye-seo’?
It was something I had to think about from now on.
