Male and Female Reversal High School Pure Love - Chapter 159
159 – 153. Min Ah-rin style proposal (4)
One.
Movies were a stable option, and a successful one.
Even Seung-gi’s face, which had seemed so gloomy these days, was showing joy, and it was a good atmosphere to sit on a bench in the movie theater lobby after the movie and have a conversation.
Of course, if you ask me if everything is perfect today… I’m not sure.
Today, Seung-gi’s tension seemed to be definitely higher than usual, and his unique dark and lewd nature continued to leak out.
But, no matter what, you can’t fool me.
This isn’t to say that Seung-gi’s sincerity isn’t there at all, but this tension feels a bit forced.
I tried to ignore that vague feeling and led him along.
Our next destination was the Han River.
I went once in the past when I saw Seunggi’s bare face for the first time after the midterm exams… Well, I didn’t decide to go there just for that reason. It’s just a place that suits our style.
When we arrived at the Han River, we didn’t do anything special.
We just talked to each other or walked quietly without saying anything.
As I was doing that, it was already evening time.
Maybe because it was summer, it wasn’t that dark even though it was evening.
We ordered some ramen from a nearby store and sat down on the banks of the Han River.
It wasn’t completely dark, but was it still evening? The view of the sunset reflecting on the water was quite charming.
Originally, I was planning to prepare something a little bigger for dinner.
I was thinking of making a reservation at a restaurant with a nice atmosphere, even if it wasn’t that expensive. This just seemed right.
Bring some decent food, sit next to each other, and just hang out without any special conversation.
Seung-gi’s taste, and my taste inherited from Seung-gi.
like that. Time passed calmly.
2.
Then, a document I had prepared for today came to my mind.
This is a document that I completed like a crazy person, taking a little time every night.
By the time I made it, I had decided that it was a pretty good idea, and I was confident that it would be perfect if I pulled it out right at the end of today’s schedule, but maybe the problem was that I was thinking about it late at night. When I think about it now, shame fills my heart.
It’s a bit hard to say for sure, but this document may be able to repair the broken Seunggi these days.
Even so, there is a time and a place for everything.
No, I was the one who made the plan for today in the first place, and I also thought that this place and time would be okay…
Now that that moment is so close, something else…
I put my hand into the bag next to me and picked up the document, but then I took my hand out again, thinking it wasn’t right.
It wasn’t a question of courage. It was a problem with my plan.
As expected, the atmosphere did not go according to my ignorant plan.
Now…it was so calm. All of us.
Does that atmosphere ever come?
I was so confident that I could fix Seung-gi’s condition, but now I find myself playing drums and playing drums alone and then shaking in despair.
I felt somehow pathetic.
3.
We left the Han River just as the world was getting darker, and it was completely dark when we arrived in the neighborhood.
Seunggi and I went to the playground of the apartment complex and spent time sitting on the swing.
Talking about today’s events and reminiscing about old memories.
Although we talked about all kinds of things, it felt strange in a way that we didn’t even mention anything about the events that occurred after the second semester began and just before that.
What am I doing? What did you do today?
I didn’t originally intend for it to end like this.
Today’s victory seemed happy, but it wasn’t just a matter of that.
There was a clear purpose and plan.
Yes, Seunggi’s depression. The burden and awkwardness Seunggi feels about the existence of family and our relationship.
A closed nature that comes from his personal history.
Didn’t he put his stone-like brain and come up with a plan to deal with something like that?
Something was strange.
It was okay up until the middle, but after the important moments in the plan passed dully, that thought disappeared.
Also, this damn Min A-rin ruined things again.
If it ends like this, will the next opportunity come easily?
If Seung-gi’s feelings aren’t dealt with quickly in the first place, won’t it just fester further?
While I was thinking that, I heard his voice next to me.
“Today was fun. I thought about the old days a lot.”
“……”
“…Arin?”
“…It didn’t look that fun.”
Maybe it was because I was having depressing thoughts.
My words were not filtered.
“No, it was pretty good…”
“It was obvious that they were forcibly raising the tension.”
“what…?”
“He’s smiling, but the facial expression he always makes these days is coming out.”
“……”
“You were having gloomy thoughts again, weren’t you? Your mom… that.”
As if bursting out the emotions I had built up, I began to spit out the words that were deep inside my heart.
“I’m worried that your family has been harmed by my family, and I’m anxious because my family is going to treat you more and more awkwardly, and I feel burdened because helping my mom means being a nuisance.”
“Things are going well, but it’s scary to think about it like that. My family and I also think about what will happen if our relationship breaks down.
“I try to show my best side as much as possible, but because I’m worried so much, my emotions are leaking out, and it seems like things are getting more awkward between us.”
“I think I know everything now just by looking at it.”
Once the words were spoken, they could not be stopped.
After it exploded, I could feel what had been piled up.
It seems that the many depressing emotions that Seunggi felt continued to flow into me.
“…did you know everything?”
“I can read your psychology just by looking at it.”
There was an awkward silence between us.
“Are you that anxious?”
“…I guess so.”
“Are you that untrustworthy of me?”
“No… my mind is pathetic.”
As the conversation started again, the remaining emotions continued to come out.
“that’s right.”
“huh?”
“Han Seunggi, you are pathetic. You pretend to be an adult, but you are so timid, it’s like a child. It’s a bit obnoxious to see that you can’t trust others, and you feel burdened and anxious about trivial things… It’s frustrating to see that. That kind of personality. “I thought it had been fixed, but I’m also annoyed by what happened this time. I have a lot to say.”
“……”
In the silence, the only sound was the creaking sound of the swing we were sitting on.
“I’m sorry…”
“…But what can I do with something that’s still good?”
As I cut off Seunggi’s apology, I opened my mouth.
“I like it when she acts easy-going like a girl, and I like it when she grumbles and accepts me when I do something stupid. It’s really cool that she gets to be the top student in the whole school despite living a hard life, and it’s also very attractive that she accepts everything even when I mess up.”
“……”
“There are a lot of things that annoy me, but now I even find them lovely.”
“Even if I’m bored, my heart beats as soon as I hold hands with you, and when the two of us are together, I have fun even without saying a word. To be more honest, no matter how much I look at men other than you, I don’t think anything of them. I feel like I’m worse than a doll.”
“I think it’s broken.”
After the words are spoken, silence falls once again.
Seunggi organizes his thoughts and I find words to pour out again.
“They say people can’t be changed. No matter what I say, you will still feel uncomfortable.”
“…I can’t say no.”
“then……”
“huh…?”
“If you can’t use it by modifying it… you can just use it according to reality, right?”
“Is that… is it so…?”
“No matter how much you say we’re family, in the end it’s just words, so you’re not that anxious.”
“I guess so.”
“Then, we become a family. We eliminate the cause.”
“what……?”
I took out the ‘document’ I had prepared from the bag on the floor.
This document was initially created as a joke.
A document that has now become sincere.
Considering the atmosphere and all, I was already in a state of overemotion.
I walked over to Seung-gi’s swing and put the document in his hand.
Seunggi’s serious expression soon turned into confusion.
“…Marriage certificate…?”
“I wrote everything else down. All you have to do is sign on it.”
“No, what is that…”
“They say they’re anxious because they’re not family.”
“Well, that’s…”
Resolve the cause.
If you can’t change your personality, you eliminate the situation in which you need to change it.
“I guess we can get married.”
Although the words were spoken forcefully, there is a limit to excessive emotion.
My sanity began to return little by little.
Above all else……
“We can’t do this because of our age.”
“……”
One word that completely changes the mood.
Marriage registration starts from the age of 18. I knew it too, but…
But his eyes were also full of confusion as he sat on the swing and looked up at me.
Although it was a dark evening, Seunggi’s face could be seen to be turning red. I was probably the same way.
Both of us are already out of our minds.
I quickly threw away the complacent thought that it would be okay if I just kept that report.
Since you said something like that, the effectiveness of that report has been reduced by more than half.
As soon as I had that thought, I took out a notebook and pen from my bag and started writing.
Have you ever had your hair turn this fast?
The article I wrote was completed in less than a minute, and I handed it over to Seunggi.
“memorandum…?”
A memorandum stating that A (Han Seung-gi) and Eul (Min A-rin) will get married on the day they turn 18, after their senior year of high school birthday.
After reading the article, Seunggi looked up at me with a still broken expression.
If you think about it, this probably doesn’t have much legal significance either.
Still, it was an expression of my will that I had this level of intention.
Honestly…I can’t think of anything anymore.
Because I think it’s the best I can do.
“Arin. This too…”
“……huh.”
“No… that’s enough… what does that matter?”
Seunggi opened his mouth to say something, but soon stopped.
He then brought his thumb to his mouth and bit it hard, and with the blood that flowed out, he made a stamp next to his name at the bottom of the memorandum.
“Min A-rin.”
“uh……”
“For the rest of your life. Please take care of me.”
It was a pretty bloody scene to put into words, but that didn’t matter at all.
My vision became blurry.
I hugged Seunggi tightly.
It was like that for a while.
