In this life, starting from a child role (811)
Side Story 3 What is a friend (5)
“Dear…”
“I know how small things can turn a blind eye.”
Su-hyeon gazed in wonder at the small baby, which was as long as her forearm.
It was a little cute to see him unable to move his body due to lack of strength and only his arms and legs shaking.
‘My cheeks look like steamed buns.’
Looking at the baby’s red, plump breasts, Su-hyeon resisted the urge to poke at them.
Although I washed my hands, I was cautious about touching the baby whose face was slightly larger than my fist.
“Mom finally came. Urururu. “Here, yap yap.”
While Su-hyeon was quietly staring at the baby, Sia, who had brought fruit, spoke to the baby with a trembling expression.
Baby Yi-seo cooed with his eyes wide open, saying that he liked Sia like that.
As the corners of the lips rose, the already chubby cheeks became more convex.
“How many months did you say?”
“Now three months. Look at this, the flesh on my wrist is folded? Heat rashes tend to form in places like this and dirt builds up, so you have to clean and dry them thoroughly.”
As if to show off, Sia grabbed the baby’s wrist and pushed the skin back, revealing the folded part of the baby’s skin.
Su-hyeon was surprised by the baby’s new side.
I had the impression that it was plump, but it was shocking to see the hidden skin stretching between the folds.
“Isn’t the kid fat? “They say you shouldn’t just feed your baby too much even though he or she is eating well… Shouldn’t they at least start doing rolling exercises now?”
“Baby breasts are all like this. Actually, I’m worried because our Yiseo weighs a little less than the other kids. “Do you want to hug me?”
“No… I’m scared.”
Su-hyeon flatly refused Sia’s invitation to hug her.
I was afraid to hold someone else’s baby because he couldn’t even hold his head properly.
“Baby…”
As soon as he could refuse, the baby lying on the blanket burst into tears.
When Su-hyeon was panicking at the sudden crying sound, Sia skillfully held Yi-seo and comforted the child.
“Oh my, here we are. I feel sleepy? I want to sleep?”
“Huh….”
“Let’s sleep in mom’s arms. “Oh, you’re so kind.”
“….”
Suhyun looked at Sia, who had gone from being a friend to her child’s mother, with strange eyes.
Sia has always been confident and has been exceptional at taking control of situations based on herself from a young age.
It was a little strange to see her acting centered around a child.
‘I guess that’s what it means to become a parent…’
After Sia called several times, the baby, who had been whining, soon became quiet.
Sia placed the sleeping baby on the baby cushion, and Yi-seo dozed off without even realizing that he had fallen from his mother’s arms.
“Perhaps because Yiseo is a little older, his trouble sleeping has decreased a lot. “I’m going to take a nap these days so I can sleep well.”
“Oh yeah?”
“The child is gentle, doesn’t whine a lot, and thinks about mom and dad.”
“hmm. I see.”
Su-hyeon quietly listened to Sia’s praise for the child.
Her boasting was a bit unfamiliar and it wasn’t a topic she was particularly interested in, but Sia only talked about herself as if she didn’t know Suhyeon’s reaction.
“It’s true that Yi-seo is cute and special, but it won’t resonate with Su-hyeon. Baby, eat this. Soohyun, you too.”
As Xia’s one-sided conversation continued, Seonhu, who was in the kitchen, finally appeared with some snacks.
After putting corn cheese and a few other dishes down on the table, Seonhu naturally patted Sia’s shoulder.
Even from the perspective of Soo-hyeon, a third party, there was a lot of affection between the two as they looked at each other.
‘It’s love…’
Seeing the sweet lover’s appearance, Su-hyeon remembered Ye-seo, whom she had met again a few days ago.
-Can we finally meet for a moment?
Su-hyeon, who sent Hyeon-do to America and hesitated in the peaceful peace, finally came to his senses.
He wasn’t sure of his choice, but when he saw his friends leaving to find their own path, he thought it couldn’t go on like this.
-Sorry.
And in the end, he handed Yeseo an apology mixed with rejection.
―I thought my brother would hold off a little longer…
―Actually, as selfish as you said, I thought about holding off on answering a little longer. But that kind of hope-torture couldn’t be done to you.
Although he was often distraught after receiving her confession, Su-hyeon was doing well.
This is because Ye-seo’s behavior did not change even after she made her feelings known.
Except for Ye-seo’s confession, which came to mind from time to time, the peace he gained from her was still the same, and he was conflicted about whether it would be better to maintain this state than to reject it.
If you close your eyes from the discomfort that your conscience brings, you can maintain a relationship that is the same as before the confession.
Suhyeon erased that attractive option.
―Even though I am currently taking a short break while choosing my next project, if I find a project I like, I will sign a contract without hesitation. It could be a genre like action noir or human drama, but it could also be romance.
The emotions Suhyeon felt as she watched her friends running toward the future were pure joy and a desire to win.
Like those who take action to achieve what they want, I hope that they will act in more works and further solidify themselves as world-class actors.
As Soo-hyeon thought about it, she thought of Ye-seo, who would see her acting out her love.
No matter how much it was work, it wasn’t right to whisper love to another woman while putting off answering.
-That’s work.
―Even when it comes to work, it’s difficult to completely separate emotions from reason. Other people whose spouses are actors also say that it is difficult.
It may be an expression of a selfish mind that is not happy about a situation where it has to worry about its own behavior.
Su-hyeon looked at Ye-seo who bowed her head, hiding her inner thoughts.
It was sad to see Ye-seo in slight disappointment, so she wanted to comfort her by patting her on the shoulder, but Su-hyeon had no choice but to stand still because she was aware that such an action in itself was a bad thing.
‘It’s hypocritical of someone who refuses to even say that they are worried about Ye-seo’s career.’
Soo-hyeon rejected her and swallowed all the deceptions such as ‘It’s for you too.’
Pretending to be for the sake of someone who had the courage to think about risks was the same as blaming others for your own peace of mind.
‘Even if you had such concerns, saying it out loud would be ignoring Yeseo’s choice.’
Unlike male actors, who have many genres other than romance, most of the starring female actors in their 20s and 30s were romantic.
In fact, nine out of ten of the next works proposed to Ye-seo were romances, and the remaining one was an investigative work with a hint of romance.
I didn’t want to imagine my new girlfriend kissing and whispering love to another man, and I also didn’t want to dismiss the things that had come to me just because the other person was considerate.
If you couldn’t make a choice and just hesitated, it was right to let the other person go.
―If you say you’re uncomfortable or need time to sort out your mind… I’ll keep my distance from you from now on.
―…I’ll think about it.
Although Su-hyeon expected that her life without Ye-seo would be empty, she chose to pass up the option rather than have regrets for her.
The problem was my attitude in saying no after delaying the answer for over a month, but I still wanted Ye-seo to be less hurt.
―Thank you for liking me. If you need anything… No. I just hope you’re doing well and not being too sad.
-huh.
Even though Ye-seo’s red-stained eyes are sad, you should not treat her kindly.
So Soo-hyeon rejected her confession and broke up with her.
It was the most bitter rejection experience I have ever had.
“…Hey.”
Su-hyeon, who was reminiscing about what happened with Ye-seo, unconsciously opened her mouth to the still sweet couple.
When their eyes turned towards me, I felt a little regret, but I had no intention of stopping.
“This is my story.”
“Usually they say it’s a story about their friend, but it’s a bit novel. Okay. “Tell me.”
When Su-hyeon opened the door, Sia nodded once and waited for him to speak.
Suhyun thought for a few more seconds and eventually moved her lips again.
“Actually, I got a confession this time?”
“huh.”
“He was a friend of mine and he liked me. “I was worried that he would become distant because I was someone I was quite dependent on, so I wondered if it was right for me to date him, but in the end I declined.”
“Hmm. so?”
Su-hyeon, being careful not to guess Ye-seo’s name, confessed her complicated feelings to the two people.
It’s complicated, but it’s hard for me to talk about it to others. I was so frustrated that I needed a bamboo forest.
“It’s selfish, but I don’t want him to walk away even though I rejected him. Of course, he wants to keep his distance, but I have no intention of contacting him first to shake him up. Still, wouldn’t it be better to not be friendly first for a while…?”
“If you were going to worry about that, you should have just dated. “I heard that celebrities date well behind the scenes of the public.”
“Not only is it disrespectful to the fans, but if she ends up dating me and has to film a kissing scene with another guy, I’ll be a bit upset.”
“Hmm?”
“Of course, I don’t want to force you not to work. I’m also an actor, so I think it’s unprofessional to do that with my work. Moreover, love acting is almost essential for young actresses, and I don’t want to be selfish even though I know that.”
“Uhm… okay…”
Su-hyeon followed Sia’s words and took out the words that were inside her one by one.
It was almost like talking to myself and I still felt like I was spinning around in one place without a choice, but I still felt a little refreshed inside.
“After all, is it really shameless to just reject it and contact me casually? “I guess it’s also okay to communicate slowly over time.”
“Hmm… Well, even if you miss the bus, the same car can come a few more times as long as it’s not the last one.”
“…? “What did you say?”
While Suhyeon was lost in thought, Sia muttered something in a low voice.
When he asked in confusion, Sia shook her head and said it was nothing.
“It’s no big deal. Anyway, acting is more important to you now and you want to put dating on the back burner. right?”
“huh. yes.”
“Then just focus on acting and leave the distance between you and that friend. Once you have set your priorities, it is right to follow them. “I just want to become friends again later, so it’s better to think about it then.”
“Actually, considering that part, I wonder if I cut it off for no reason. It would be better to just maintain the status quo…”
“No, that was good.”
When Soo-hyeon tried to show his late regrets, Sia advised him not to do that.
Suhyun kept her mouth shut at her friend’s firm attitude.
“You’ve always been single-minded and seemed like you could multitask, but you couldn’t. In such cases, it is better to make a decision rather than hesitating and hesitating. Even if you regret it, you can correct your mistake later.”
Listening to Sia’s words, Suhyeon felt uneasy, as if she had chosen something wrong.
As if she knew how he felt, Sia tapped Suhyeon on the shoulder with a bright face.
“That’s how everyone goes through hardships and grows. Go for it.”
I’m sure they’re cheering me on, but why don’t I feel like I’m being cheered on?
While Su-hyeon was confused about her emotions, the baby who was sleeping well burst into tears.
Su-hyeon, who had to leave early because of the child who kept whining, frowned as she left the couple’s house.
I thought it would be refreshing to meet a friend and confide in her, but things in the world were not easy.
