chapter 18
18 – Episode 18 – Ari’s Love
tgether. To sum it up, it’s like a streamer’s personal bulletin board.
Sunday night when Yuhan and Ari met. A notice of closure went up on TV personality Lette’s Twitter.
It’s now 5 days off.
Viewers reacted in various ways to the text written in her unique hard and serious tone.
– I’m really worried about what’s going on with Lethe.
Regarding the usual holiday, it was announced at least a few days in advance, or if it was not possible, it was Lete who explained his circumstances clearly, but he expressed his concern about the short writing, saying it was personal circumstances.
-Still, isn’t this right? Suddenly, a 5-day break?
Even if you usually give a thorough notice, blame Lethe for the fifth day of diving.
– I wonder what’s going on. It’s strange that I don’t trust him even though he’s usually a good person.
Because I know Lete’s personality revealed on the air, I think I can understand if it’s a serious matter, so let’s just wait a bit.
And Lete, who wrote the notice, was texting her lover, Jun-hyeok.
-Free up time tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at 10:00 in the morning.
Letra, who usually writes only hard words, doesn’t use a hard tone even to her lover, but now she is a firm tone that just notifies the person receiving the text message.
Lethe herself feels a bit uncomfortable. Is it right to text him like this after a fight and then not contacting him for days? Isn’t that against etiquette?
However, Lete, who was always loved by everyone close to her, had never fought with a friend, much less with her lover, Jun-hyeok. I didn’t know how to deal with this situation. I had a lot of friction with the bullies, but it wasn’t a relationship I could apologize for.
in such a situation.
‘hmm. First, contact me to meet tomorrow.’
‘There is a broadcast tomorrow… The break was too long.’
‘Is that important right now?! You have to be flexible! You seem to work hard normally, but the viewers will understand this much. manly… No, like a woman, say something like ‘I’ll meet you at what time, so get ready’ and buy a flower and go. Why don’t you say you’re sorry first and then tell me that this won’t happen next time?’
‘To say that this won’t happen doesn’t mean I won’t shoot content next time.’
‘hmm… ‘
In fact, even Yuhan didn’t know. Whether buying flowers is effective, whether it is a problem that ends if you unconditionally bow down to say sorry, and even whether viewers will understand the holiday.
Ari took it for granted and just asked the man about his psychology. Yuhan was a person close to a woman in this world, and in the previous world, he had no time to meet his lover because he was busy with his daily life.
I just came up with the best answer based on what I heard here and there.
On top of that, advice like lightning strikes to Lette’s fans continued.
‘Originally, you take one day off a week? Wouldn’t it be nice to extend it by one more day and stay with you? When I shoot content, I take a break again.’
As above, Yuhan wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.
In the end, full of questions, now Ari came to meet Jun-hyeok.
On the other hand, there were quite a few days when he slept at Ari’s house, but of course, after fighting, Jun-hyeok went back to his own house.
We’ve known each other since we were really young, and we’ve never fought like this before.
When I thought about it after the fight, I felt that I was overly sensitive because I was in a bad mood that day, so he also continued to feel uncomfortable.
because of pride. Unconscious of whether he should yield more to himself as a man. I just couldn’t speak first.
“What is it? What’s the matter, why did you come all the way here with your busy body?”
But still, angry words come out of his mouth. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to lose.
for a while too.
“…Take this first.”
The bouquet in Ari’s hand melted Jun-hyeok’s heart.
Ari had a good personality, of course, but she was far from being romantic, and since she had been with Junhyeok for a long time, she still had the idea of being a ‘friend’, so she hadn’t acted romantically enough.
Even now, it’s embarrassing that I haven’t been able to kiss between lovers.
Is that why? This clumsy act came to be quite meaningful to Jun-hyeok.
“That… I’m sorry. If you’re usually busy, you should have stayed with me for the weekend…”
It was fun to see the unfamiliar side of Ari apologizing every now and then.
It was such a precious scene that I wanted to see it more, but Jun-hyeok, who was about to laugh at the situation for no reason, cut Ari’s apology in moderation.
“Puff! That’s okay. If you apologized for that much. Just spend some time with me next time. We’re still lovers.”
“Yeah… I will.”
Jun-hyuk knows that Ari has had little to apologize for in his life. So I know that I haven’t had many experiences of apologizing.
We’ve been together for ten years, but this is the first time we’ve seen each other so awkwardly.
Junhyeok liked the novelty.
I liked the awkward apology.
Somehow more than usual.
Ari was good.
###
Yuhani had said it. Don’t worry about whether or not to accept the apology, but think about where you will go together if you accept the apology.
I wondered if that was right. Where do you go together? If you don’t accept an apology in the first place, isn’t it all a useless worry?
I always think it’s better to think of a bad situation first when thinking about it. Then, even if bad things happen, you’ll be able to hold on to your spirit to some extent.
It was the same when he apologized to Yuhan.
What if this person doesn’t accept an apology?
What if I misunderstood the first impression and left too many scars?
In that case, would adding more apologies have any effect?
Fortunately, Yuhani’s personality was so good that he easily overlooked it, saying that he did something wrong… … .
I knew that the one who provided the cause was the country that reacted sensitively for no reason when the first video sponsorship came.
I knew that I was lucky enough to pass easily and even become friends.
Yeah, I was just lucky back then.
But think of the best case scenario. Wouldn’t that be left to chance again?
Yuhani said so. We’ve had such a long relationship, but sometimes we fight, so why don’t you accept an apology?
Looking at it now, I’m sure he was right.
The situation I was worried about didn’t even come close, and the long-prepared apology ended in an instant.
After that, as Yuhani expected, she naturally went on a date with Junhyeok.
Restaurants, cinemas and cafes. Even though it was just a casual date course, Junhyeok seemed very happy.
In just a few days, the reconciliation I had hoped for was made so easily, so it’s normal for me to feel good too.
Of course, it’s not that I’m in a bad mood… … The corners of my lips keep freezing. I feel uncomfortable.
What should I say?
In fact, this apology is just an apology for losing. It wasn’t something that was done rationally, I just stepped back.
I know. That’s what being lovers is like, and it’s a very common thing for a woman to lose to a man.
It’s such a trivial thing to feel uncomfortable because you can’t step back.
but.
It’s not like I didn’t spend time with Junhyeok on a regular basis. We spent a lot of time together, and we often took time off separately on anniversaries.
Also, as people live, isn’t it possible that schedules can be set up suddenly like this time. To be honest, I didn’t like the fact that this was an argument.
Although I backed off, I personally thought that Junhyeok reacted too sensitively.
But when I showed my intention to apologize earlier, of course I was wrong and of course I was in a position where I just needed to receive an apology, that reaction.
The ideal relationship I thought was a relationship in which each of us took a step back and respected each other, but I was the only one who stepped back unilaterally. A situation where it becomes natural.
That kind of situation came to me a bit uncomfortable. What if this kind of relationship continues later, the thought that I can continue to lose and live passed through my mind.
… … Yuhan made an unnecessary apology, blaming it on herself even in a situation where I was wrong first and I reacted excessively.
After that, I went ahead and lightened the atmosphere.
He frantically led the conversation himself so that I wouldn’t continue to feel guilty. You took great care of me.
no. no. Why did Yuhan suddenly appear? Yuhan and Junhyeok are completely different people. am i tired today
“Arya, where are you uncomfortable? Your expression doesn’t look good.”
“Huh? …No, I was just thinking about something.”
He smiled softly and replied.
Well, I thought about that, but between lovers, there are always one or two regrets. There must be times like this.
If you can’t stand it, you can talk to each other seriously and solve it.
So I don’t think it’s an issue to worry about right now. Let’s forget this feeling for now.
Let’s focus on this date.
“Are you still wearing a cardigan? Then won’t it be hot?”
Junhyeok said that while taking the cardigan I had taken off next to him.
The black cardigan I wore yesterday as I am not sensitive to the heat.
“Pu-up. What kind of hair do you wear?”
“Huh? It’s black, can you see it?”
My hair must be darker than others, does that make it stand out?
“Huh? Is this blonde? One of your managers had blonde hair…”
“Why, why so suddenly?”
“This…why is it so short? Isn’t it man’s hair?”
… … Come to think of it, there was an incident where Yuhan, who suddenly changed his mood last night, put his face very close to me.
I think it was stuck then.
well, just say He said he met a broadcaster he was close with by chance. Somehow, it seems that his hair is stuck.
It’s kind of hard to say this, but… … It’s true that Yuhani’s appearance gives off the impression of a bully.
Junhyeok knows that I hate men like bullies extremely well, so I don’t think I’ll buy any misunderstandings.
No, is it more suspicious to be acquainted with a man who looks like that?
But it’s not that we don’t have enough trust to doubt each other just that much… … .
And it’s not like you won’t meet Yuhani at all, but if you keep coming and going, there will inevitably be a day when Junhyeok will come to know of Yuhani’s existence. You’ll find out later anyway. It wouldn’t matter too much if I told you now.
however.
“Uh… I guess I just got caught playing with the kids at daycare?”
What was the reason for the lies coming out of my mouth?
