When I Returned, a High School Romantic Comedy Began

24. If I break it, will you take it?

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

The words he said linger in my ears.

In the background there is no wind and not even sunlight shines.

Only the streetlight illuminated Jaune’s smile.

‘Is it okay if it gets worse?’

It was very shocking to Hayan, who had always lived a good life and was proud of it.

Don’t do that next time.

He’s a good kid and he won’t do this again.

As I said, I don’t want things to be the same as before.

“Well, if you still don’t believe it, there’s nothing we can do.”

Are you really saying that you will accept whatever he does?

“really?”

You don’t have to confine yourself to a mold.

Just like other kids my age, sometimes I force myself to do whatever I want.

“You’re not pushing me away…?”

Jaune answered her question right away without thinking for a second.

“Yes, friends make some mistakes.”

Sometimes the mistake crosses the line.

There are countless people who shamelessly say they don’t know their own mistakes.

‘But do you think he would do that?’

Just looking at him now, he seems like a person who would go into a corner of his room and be alone and depressed out of guilt.

Just because I said this, it never occurred to me that I would do something particularly dangerous.

“…”

Hayan closed her mouth for a moment.

It’s so different from what I heard when I was 17, so I don’t know how to accept it.

I couldn’t figure it out at all.

‘Can I trust you…?’

I know that he is not a person to lie.

Moreover, my heart kept shaking because I saw the serious face I saw under the doll mask instead of the smiling mask I saw at school.

However, the stereotypes about myself and the world that I held deep in my heart did not make it easy for me to accept the promise.

Hesitation was still evident in his withdrawn gestures.

She made and avoided eye contact, fidgeted with her hands, and finally managed to raise her voice cautiously.

“You said it was a promise, right?”

“Uh, promise.”

After hearing the answer, she held out a small fist.

Even from his small hand, he took out the cutest little finger.

“Then hang your little finger.”

“Little finger?”

Jaune almost bursts out laughing at the unexpected story.

‘She’s really short and childlike, just like her older sister.’

Fortunately, he wasn’t as catastrophically short as Hani, but his appearance still made me tilt my head slightly to see him as a high school student.

He looked at me and gave me his little finger, and it was so cute.

Jaune somehow suppressed the twitching of his mouth.

He walked closer to her and placed his little finger on her.

“ruler.”

“…”

Without a moment of hesitation, he gave his finger, and Hayan gently twisted it towards him.

I held on like that for a while and then.

“Can’t I break it…?”

He crept closer and asked warmly and nervously.

Her chest closer to the two hands holding it.

“ah.”

The feel of a button that can be felt slightly at the tip of one’s finger from just touching it.

My ears turn red at the dizzying thought that even the slightest movement could lead to an embarrassing situation.

“Uh, Hayan, give me your hands…”

“Answer me.”

I tried to slightly pull my hand away because it felt dangerous.

She sensed that she was moving away and held onto my hand with her other hand, showing her determination to never let go.

It was already a burdensome distance, so if I could pull with more force.

I had no choice but to reach it.

“…”

“hurry.”

My beating heart accelerates.

The biggest skinship I’ve ever had with a girl was a hug I gave to a girl in my class while taking a photo on her birthday in kindergarten.

My brain was damaged because I felt a soft touch that I had never experienced before on an area that was about half the size of the back of my hand.

‘Why, why are you doing this?’

I wonder if his grip strength is so strong because he resembles his older sister.

Or is it my instinct that I want to continue enjoying this feeling and am giving up my strength?

The hand was not easily shaken off and only an embarrassing situation continued.

‘Will I just stay like this?’

For a moment, the devil’s whisper echoed in my head, but I quickly shook it off and spoke to her.

“I won’t break it, so just let it go.”

“…”

Only after hearing the answer he wanted did his hands finally relax.

Hayan smiled brightly as usual, as if she didn’t even know what had just happened.

“Yes, thank you.”

“… I am truly grateful.”

The look on her face was unbelievable as she was someone who had been depressed all this time.

I can’t believe that my eyes, which were always filled with disbelief, became so peaceful just by crossing my fingers.

She said as I was momentarily troubled by the strange yet suspicious behavior.

“If I break it, will you take it?”

“uh?”

“Just kidding~”

She leaves behind meaningful words and turns back.

He left me dazed and said as he walked down the street alone.

“It’s right in front of my house. Thanks for taking me there.”

A seductive smile.

Like sour jam bursting inside a candy that you thought was sweet.

An unfamiliar scent flowing from the usually gentle woman.

The playful eye smile barely stimulated my true heart.

“… huh.”

After hearing those words, she turned around and walked away lightly.

Hayan suddenly disappeared from the street lamps that illuminated the stage.

All that was left was Jaune, alone on the asphalt road, trying to control his pounding heart.

*

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

“oh my god…”

Why does he say things like that so casually?

Under the streetlight where Jaune and Hayan are having a serious conversation.

“It’s crazy, it’s crazy…”

Two alleyways that are a bit far from.

Hani, who hid behind him, was quietly watching the two.

‘I heard my mother was coming by bus, so I came out to meet her…’

A rare sight encountered almost in front of the bus stop.

After stopping for a moment at the sight of two familiar figures seen from a distance.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the exciting story that followed.

‘As expected, there is a reason for picking on such a pretty girl.’

She couldn’t help but be astonished at Jaune’s appearance, without hesitation, saying lines that could have appeared in any drama.

Especially kids these days, they say it’s cringy and all, but they can’t even express it properly.

He was laughing heartily, as if he wasn’t embarrassed at all to say such a thing.

“Mr. Hani?”

“Ah, mother.”

As the two were distracted for a moment, Jaune’s mother slowly walked towards her.

I said as I looked at the woman hiding in the alley, giving off a suspicious vibe.

“Jaune? Next to…”

“He is my younger brother.”

“Ah… But what are you two doing now?”

The mother must have sensed the mysterious atmosphere between the two men and women, and before she knew it, her mother carefully approached their side and spoke softly.

The moment when you try to briefly explain a situation that is difficult to give a simple answer to.

“Then hang your little finger.”

“Little finger?”

I immediately held my breath at the faint sound of conversation.

The mother seemed to be interested as well and began to quietly admire the two.

Jaune sticks out his finger straight away without hesitation.

White holds it tightly and pulls it towards him.

It was like a scene from a teen drama.

“oh…”

“and…”

I never thought I would see a picture like this in real life.

Both her mother and she were amazed by the fresh romance.

“Uh, Hayan, give me your hands…”

“Answer me.”

And that feeling immediately turned into astonishment.

“He, what is he doing!”

“…”

When Jaune tried to pull his hand away, Hayan held him with both hands so that he could not do so, further narrowing the dizzying distance.

Even though it was far away, anyone could clearly see that Jaune’s hand was casually buried in an area that would be sensitive to the woman.

‘Why is he acting like that all of a sudden?!’

My mother paused for a moment at that sight and smiled awkwardly.

“He looks gentle, but he’s very bold…”

“… He’s not really like that.”

Hani blushes at her youngest child’s embarrassing behavior.

It was even more shocking because he was my younger brother and had never had a boyfriend.

‘I sent it to you to lighten your mood, but now you’re possessing me?’

If she looks even the slightest bit shy, it’s because she’s still a teenager.

Even she, who had never had such a deviation before, could understand.

‘But you’re so calm.’

I even felt a sense of disconnect as I looked up at Jaune and made skinship so naturally, as if our hearts were not touching.

asked her mother, who looked just as confused as she was.

“You two are not dating, are you?”

“yes…”

“But being so bold on the street…”

Mother sighed deeply and said.

“Just like last time, I see a lot of women next to Jaune these days.”

“…”

That was enough to know just by looking at what happened today.

There is no way two women fighting over a man would go unnoticed.

“It would be nice if Jaune could now date normally like other kids… but it would also be nice if we could have healthy relationships.”

“Ah… I see.”

She felt anxious, as if she had just seen her younger brother.

The mother then expressed her concerns in a worried tone.

“My surgery is next week, and considering hospitalization and rehabilitation, you mean I won’t be home for a long time?”

According to the results of today’s examination, if I had surgery, I would have to be hospitalized for at least one to two months before I could use my legs again.

It wasn’t that big of a surgery, so it was a short period of time.

As a mother, it was quite a long time to be away from home.

“If you bring a girl home and cause an accident… Ha.”

When I just saw my son in that situation, I couldn’t help but feel worried.

What if I just got out of poverty and I can’t control myself and start working?

Until now, my son had no interest in women at all, but there is no such word as absolute in this world.

Still, there was one fortunate thing.

“So, Hani, will you take good care of her as an adult?”

Because there is someone who will take care of him even if he disappears.

To be honest, I was reassured that there wouldn’t be any problems with her.

He was a person who was given the status of a saint on par with himself.

Hani nodded confidently at her request.

“of course! “I’ll keep a close eye on you to make sure nothing happens!”

When she looks like a child with a confident expression, a mother’s smile comes naturally.

Although we only met for a day, I saw her school diploma and ID card, and she also happened to be the older sister of my son’s friend, which strengthened my trust even more.

“is it so. “I’ll just trust Mr. Hani.”

With the thought that she would be able to get along with Jaune without any problems.

When the story ended, I saw Jaune approaching this way and quickly walked home to avoid being caught.
