When I Returned, a High School Romantic Comedy Began

23. bad boy

“…”

Yuma left first due to the unusual atmosphere.

There was silence in the house with only the two sisters left.

‘Why on earth did he do that…’

We’ve been together in the same house for 17 years now.

The youngest member of her family whom I had just seen was someone I had never seen before, so I had no idea what to say.

What made White so cute?

That worry didn’t last long.

[Is what you said to Jaune the problem?]

Because there isn’t much in the world that can change the gentle and gentle girl.

‘He is a sinful man.’

I was a little curious as to what kind of charm he could possess to captivate such a pretty girl and even beat up his own younger sister…

First of all, the priority is to come back to sanity and comfort Hayan, who is overcome with anxiety.

Hani threw away her random thoughts and spoke to her trembling younger brother.

“Don’t be so anxious.”

“…”

“People can make mistakes when they talk.”

Of course, since my younger brother has never committed such indiscretion before, I understand that he is more anxious.

The important thing is to quickly admit it, shake off the emotional pain, and not make the same mistake.

“Yeah, but…”

Unfortunately, Hayan was a child who had always been raised correctly, so she wasn’t used to it.

Since I was young, I have never done anything like the awkward behavior that other children do.

Therefore, there was nothing that made anyone hateful.

A good child, an angelic classmate, and a well-raised daughter.

Hayan, who was so proud of herself and lived her life for granted, was very afraid of the sharp gaze she had just experienced.

“I said something strange…”

Continuing self-blame.

The grandiose delusions that drove me mentally were no different from self-harm.

‘Ha… what should I do with this?’

Hani spoke as kindly as possible to her youngest child, who was in a state of panic she had never seen before.

“Even though what you said was harsh, it wasn’t wrong.”

I wasn’t protecting them because they were sisters.

Chae-rin clings to Joo-woon even though she tried to stop him, and it is clear that she is a childish maniac.

‘There was a bit of a sudden rush there, but…’

Just as Chaerin made a mistake, Hayan made the same mistake.

Even though I’m 25 years old, I sometimes make mistakes.

There’s no way it wouldn’t be them.

“Let’s talk about it later when Jaune comes.”

“… Jaune?”

at that time.

Embarrassment appeared in his downcast eyes.

The serious look I had just seen flashed through my head.

“…”

How do young children usually behave when they do something wrong?

Should you report the truth to the other person and ask for forgiveness?

Even if you know it’s wrong, do you shamelessly come out?

People are all different, so it’s hard to say what everyone is like.

Almost nine times out of ten.

“Sorry, sister, I’ll go in first.”

“uh?”

run away

I can’t face the shame of making a mistake head on.

Unable to overcome the responsibility that comes later, they hide in a place where they are not at fault.

“sorry.”

She stood up with her bag and opened the door without even being able to convey the apology to the person she was supposed to apologize to.

We’ll see each other at school tomorrow anyway.

She couldn’t think logically at the moment.

Even though I know that there is no paradise in the place I fled to.

This place right now is like hell.

That was the only conclusion that came out.

“White!”

Despite her sister’s shouts, she did not turn around.

I tried to run away from the pressure by going outside.

however.

“…”

“… Are you going home?”

The door was not an exit from responsibility, but an entrance into hell.

The dark air closer to night than evening.

Below, the man and woman walked forward, relying on the light of the street lamp.

‘driving me crazy.’

It was so late at night that I came out of the house again to take her home.

She and I couldn’t exchange a word.

‘You don’t have to worry about it like this.’

The reason was obvious even without looking.

You must be worried that you just spoke a little harshly to Chae-rin.

‘It wasn’t really wrong.’

On the contrary, there were some things I was slightly thankful for.

Thanks to the facts that were put in without mercy, Chaerin was able to reflect on her actions.

‘The situation seems to have worsened…’

Still, it was better than before, when we were struggling with each other without even talking about anything.

‘I hope you don’t get depressed.’

Now, only the sound of footsteps rings in my ears.

Jaune looked at her weak expression and felt uncomfortable sending her home like this, so he opened his mouth first.

“You look bad.”

“…”

There was no answer.

Still, I won’t be thinking about anything else.

I quietly poured out my thoughts, trusting that she would listen.

“Is it just because of work?”

The streets were still quiet.

She just nodded a few times, perhaps out of guilt.

Nothing came out of my mouth except lukewarm exhalation.

After the blankness became worse, he looked at me appropriately and said.

“I didn’t say anything wrong… but my method was a bit clumsy.”

Isn’t it natural to make mistakes when you’re still young?

Even though I am 25 years old, when I think about what I did to Park Chae-rin, I have done more than one thing wrong.

‘How mature is a child who is only a high school student?’

She has doubts and is wondering how to erase the guilt from her heart.

Hayan, who had been quiet the whole time, finally let out a voice she had been suppressing.

“sorry.”

After all the silence, the only thing that came out was an apology.

No matter how much I raised my eyebrows and said it was okay, Hayan still couldn’t forgive herself.

“I’m sorry for coming forward for no reason. “You have to take care of everything yourself.”

It’s a topic we only talk about a few times during lunch.

He watched from behind and only recently opened up about it.

Even though Yuma, whom Jaune regarded as a close friend, stayed still, he intervened.

She apologizes over and over again, unable to make eye contact.

‘It’s really serious.’

Like a good kid complex, Hayan couldn’t tolerate even a single mistake.

What should I do to make Hyayan erase her guilt and make her smile?

Sort out the worries that have accumulated in your head one by one, and place a strainer on your head instead of directly from your neck to your mouth.

After calmly listing out each word I wanted to say, I spoke to her.

“That’s also true.”

Chaerin teased me regardless of where she was.

Hayan excessively reprimanded Chaerin.

“But don’t blame yourself too much.”

But is that such a serious sin that we bow our heads in tears like we do now?

There’s no need to be so sullen, as if the world has collapsed just because you made a mistake.

“Everyone makes mistakes and learns from them.”

“still…”

Even after saying this, Hayan’s expression still did not calm down.

I felt a little frustrated with her exaggerating her mistakes, so I spoke clearly.

“White.”

“…”

“It’s only once.”

As long as she is human, she will make mistakes and repeat them later.

How can I live in this difficult world if I feel depressed like this every time?

What Hayan needed now was a way to be a little shameless.

“You’re not the kind of person who makes mistakes like that.”

Someone said this.

[You have to do it well 10 times, but if you don’t do it once, everyone is busy cursing and saying, ‘I didn’t see it that way…’]

[But if you do something well once after being bad at it 10 times, you become ‘still not a bad person.’]

[What kind of people should we be?]

… Bye.

What kind of person do you become?

“I’ve lived a good life 10 times, but it would be too much to throw me away for doing something wrong once.”

Of course, you should be someone who remembers your 10 good deeds.

What if all your good deeds were ruined by just one mistake?

The world is so unfair that someone wants to live a good life.

‘I have to say something that makes sense.’

Jaune’s white eyes widened at the consolation he gave.

I lifted up and showed him a face I had never seen before.

He said after his weak walking legs stopped.

“Then you’re not disappointed in me? “Once you get used to it and become a person who gets annoyed all the time, just like before…”

There was a bit of resentment in it.

I feel like I’m suffocating to death at every little mistake like that.

I was a little bit offended by Joo-woon telling me to take it easy.

He, who stopped with her, seemed to have sensed her feelings and spoke indifferently.

“I worry too much, so it’s a problem.”

I didn’t understand at all.

I felt that way even more as I comforted her.

‘If you say so, there is no end.’

Even if you keep telling her that it’s okay, she will never accept it.

I made eye contact with her for a moment, thought about it, and then spoke.

“If you’re that worried, I promise.”

To her who keeps blaming herself.

“No matter what you do, I will smile at you in the end.”

Rather than saying it’s okay to be good from next time, it’s okay to be bad.

Hayan probably didn’t expect me to say anything, but her mouth opened slightly and she couldn’t reply.

“It’s hard to cover up crimes like that, but… you wouldn’t commit something like that, right?”

“that…”

No matter how bad you try to be, you won’t be able to erase her good nature.

I thought it would be okay to ease the burden just a little bit on this kind girl.

so.

“I won’t expect anything.”

Hayan grew up always being told by her parents that she was a good child.

Everyone liked him at school and said he was a model student.

Leaving behind the woman who was always busy receiving praise from her neighbors.

“Because they won’t think you’re a good girl.”

Sometimes he enjoys deviating, and when he can’t get over his anger, he spits out abusive language.

After a fight with a friend, I sulk and don’t say anything and sulk for days.

“It’s okay if it gets a little worse.”

I’ll accept Hayan, a normal bad boy.
