4. Returning Bus

It was an ordinary situation as usual.

A situation where you head to the bus stop to catch the bus back home.

“Ah~ Today’s class was so boring~!”

“I’ve said it before, but if you’re going to complain like that, why the hell are you going to school…”

“That’s what the horse is, that’s how it is. I understand it roughly.”

Since her house is right next door, she is walking side by side with Han Seo-ah, who has to take the same bus.

“It’s because boys aren’t so observant. That’s why you don’t have a girlfriend.”

“····.”

“Lee Si-woo, if you want to have a girlfriend at least once in your life, you should listen carefully to your sister, right?”

[Siwoo only needs to go out with her once and get married.]

It’s just that Seoah Han’s inner thoughts that I can still see continue to disturb my heart.

To be honest, now I’ve gone beyond the level of embarrassment and even felt burdened.

He must have said it several times, but her opponent was Han Seo-ah, who had grown up like her brother and sister almost her whole life.

Always together, always hanging out.

However, the relationship between each other is always close to enmity.

I heard that such a sibling-like childhood friend actually liked me from before.

How not to be surprised in a situation like this.

This is abnormal for people who are not surprised.

As long as there was no way she would know about these worries, she continued her words without caring.

“Oh, that’s what I said. So, when will our Siwoo date her girlfriend and show it to her sister?”

“······ Their birthdays are only a month apart, so what kind of sister are you from earlier?”

“Since I was born earlier than you, you are right. Anyway, don’t talk back. Say it quickly.”

[But what if Siwoo really has a girlfriend without my knowledge? Should I tell her not to date her girlfriend even now?]

“····.”

Well, this isn’t even a double personality.

How on earth can the sentences you spit out and the sentences in your heart be so different?

“······First of all, making a girlfriend is a problem.”

“Well, I guess that’s it, isn’t it?”

“If it happened, why would I introduce you to it?”

“Huh? Wouldn’t you introduce me to me?”

“Oh. I know what to say to you.”

“······Is that so? Heh.”

[What should I do? I guess I was usually too mean to Siwoo. What if Siwoo really secretly dates her girlfriend?]

On the surface, he smiles slightly as if nothing is wrong.

Inside, Seo-ah Han was nervous at the thought that I might secretly make a girlfriend.

‘Why are you so cute?’

When she saw that figure, she thought it was cute, albeit briefly.

Wow, I’ve never been like this before.

To think I was cute when I saw that tomboyish Han Seo-ah.

I don’t know if it’s because of this feeling, but the words that are much softer than before came out of my mouth.

“And, I don’t have any intention of getting a girlfriend yet.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Uh. I’m busy going to school, so what kind of a girlfriend are you? I want you to do well in the exams first.”

“····.”

“······But why are you suddenly asking if someone else has a girlfriend?”

“No, just curious.”

[Of course it’s because I like you. Siwoo Lee, you idiot.]

“······Pushup.”

“What, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”

Because of the content of the sentence that came in with a hook, he spewed the drink he was drinking into the street.

My lord, you are wrong when you say that the side effect is embarrassment.

It’s so bad for my heart to see my best friend’s heart.

Han Seo-ah looked at me with a suspicious expression.

“You know what’s really weird today.”

“······Me? It’s the same as usual.”

“Don’t lie. You’re so different from usual today.”

[I know best about Siwoo. I always watched from the side.]

[It’s true that sometimes I act like an idiot, but… Still, the calm appearance was cool.]

“······Kuhm.”

Since I was receiving compliments that the person who said it would not know at all, my face got hot for no reason.

Even, the opponent was Han Seo-ah.

That Han Seo-ah, who usually criticizes me instead of complimenting me.

If you do well a hundred times and do poorly once, you will be criticized, and if you do well once after a hundred times, you will be praised.

I don’t know who made it, but it was a well-made word.

Hearing compliments from Han Seo-ah, who always used her mouth to scold me, made her feel much better than when she received compliments from others.

“There’s something really strange… But I can’t say for sure.”

“Mr. Hanseo, we decided to call it Nothing Strange.”

“······Is that so?”

When Hanseo-ah nodded her head in agreement, the sentence that kept appearing did not appear this time.

Anyway, that acceptance is sincere, not a lie.

‘······This looks like a human lie detector.’

No matter how you think about it, now I was simply a lie detector itself.

The only thing that is slightly different from a normal lie detector is that it can find out the truth hidden behind a lie.

As I walked with that thought in mind, I arrived at the bus stop before I knew it.

“Well, we still have about 7 minutes left.”

“Seven minutes? What are you doing while you wait?”

“I’m going to read a webtoon I didn’t see this morning.”

“Lee Siu, you didn’t read the webtoon this morning?”

“I didn’t see it. I was texting you.”

“······Really?”

This time, instead of answering, she nodded slightly.

It’s true that I didn’t read the webtoon because I was sending angry messages to Han Seo-ah who abandoned me.

[Did you say you haven’t read the webtoon because it’s more important for Siwoo to send me a message?]

[What should I do? Isn’t my face blushing right now?]

It seemed that Han Seo-ah had completely misunderstood the nod.

“······Well, if that’s the reason. I’ll allow it.”

“Who are you to allow me to read webtoons…”

“Uh huh! Be quiet and read webtoons.”

[Sorry, Siuya. I want to enjoy this happy feeling a little more.]

Just one word.

Would that be accepted as that level of joy to Han Seo-ah?

I still got a little caught up on the fact that it was just Seoah Han’s misunderstanding.

I also didn’t want to break Han Seo-ah’s small happiness.

Quietly, she took out her smartphone and started reading a webtoon.

That way, one or two episodes.

A bus arrived around the time I put my finger on the third webtoon that was updated today.

Tee-Ring-

As I got on the bus listening to the friendly sound of the terminal that I had heard in the morning, it seemed that the seats had already been sold out, as always.

Yes, this is a normal routine.

If there were still seats left, I would have doubted what day it was today.

She was about to finish reading the webtoon she had been reading before, holding onto the handle of the bus, which had become more comfortable than the seats.

“······Siwoo Lee.”

“Why?”

“Could you please move to the side a bit more?”

“What is that all of a sudden…”

I looked down in a condescending voice, saying, “What kind of nonsense is that?”, And soon after seeing the number of people standing behind Seo-ah Han, I came to understand it.

Originally, this was a place where a lot of people rode like this.

It’s not a place where I don’t ride at all, but I don’t think it was this far.

I had doubts about this sudden situation, but there was no reason why I couldn’t go to the side.

“Come this way.”

“Thank you.”

I passed the handle I was holding onto Han Seo-ah and grabbed the handle right next to me again.

It’s a bit unfortunate to just pass on something like this, so I decided to touch Seo-ah Han, albeit slightly.

“Because of me, you know that you can go comfortably.”

“That’s why I said thank you.”

“Just one word of thanks?”

“So, well, what do you want me to do?”

“I’m washing the dishes for dinner tonight.”

“······Isn’t it too disrespectful to make you wash the dishes just because you gave up this seat for once?”

“If you don’t like it, go there again.”

“······Despicable bastard. You just have to wash the dishes.”

Hearing that if you don’t like it, put her handle back, Hanseo-ah pursed her lips and expressed her displeasure.

Ah, this is delicious.

How long has it been since you won this battle of pride?

By the way, she always lost to Han Seo-ah in small or big fights.

Of course, I lost everything.

As a person with a slightly broader heart, for those with a narrower heart than myself.

Not because most of the quarrels are my fault.

After trying to cast her mental victory, she finally told Han Seo-ah the truth, who was making a pouting expression.

“Of course I was kidding. Did you really believe that?”

“······Sorry.

“Right. Are you really going to order it?”

“····.”

“Of course this is a joke.”

“Really, Siu Lee, you will definitely be punished someday.”

[It doesn’t matter if I ask you to wash the dishes.]

[And rather than washing dishes now, I want to wash dishes with Siwoo for the rest of my life.]

“······Collock!”

“?”

Again, a clear cough came out by itself at the sincerity of Han Seo-ah who jumped in.

How can he really think like that without changing his expression?

If you know this, isn’t it a talent?

A talent for hiding her own heart from others under the guise of perfection.

I wish I had a similar talent.

If you had a similar talent, you’d be able to hide the heartbeat that started beating like crazy after reading that sentence.

But unfortunately, I didn’t have that kind of talent.

All I could do was take a slow, deep breath so that Seo-ah Han, who had been pushed closer to me by the crowded bus, couldn’t hear my heartbeat.
