Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game - Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game chapter 41

41 – Why are you to me (1)

041

A quiet night with starlight pouring in through the cracks in the window.

“Ha.”

Jin So-yeon just laid down on the bed with a deep sigh and quietly looked up outside the window.

It’s already late, but I can’t sleep.

I don’t know why, but it’s because what Seol-Hyeon Yoo said was stuck in my head like a sharp thorn and wouldn’t go away.

Some of the conversation she had with Yoo Seol-hyeon at the academy was quietly lingering in Jin So-yeon’s mind.

– Imagine that she has that pretty face and hangs out with her friends of the opposite s*x in her group. It must have been a bit like that from the boyfriend’s point of view, right?

It was nonsense said by Yoo Seol-hyeon, who knew nothing about the relationship between Jin So-yeon and Jin-hyuk Lee.

Even if Jin So-yeon gets along well with her friends, what reason is there for Jin-hyuk to have a hard time?

Jin So-yeon and Lee Jin-hyuk are in a fake romantic relationship.

Of course, because of Jin So-yeon’s role as her fake lover, she may have been jealous of other boys and it was quite annoying, but she would not have had a hard time because Jin So-yeon hung out with other boys.

For Lee Jin-hyuk to have a hard time for that reason in the first place, it means that she likes Jin So-yeon as her opposite s*x, right?

Hmm… ….

Lee Jin-hyuk likes Jin So-yeon as his opposite s*x?

Ahahahaha, ha.

Really, really.

This is nonsense and not even funny.

We are childhood friends who have known each other for over ten years.

We’ve been hanging out together since our nosebleed days.

To be honest, you could say that we are half a family.

Would it have been like this if there had been siblings at one time? I thought so.

While we were together, we saw everything we could not see.

But do you think with reason?

That can’t be possible. Cancer, of course.

“…… “Yoo Seol-hyun, she doesn’t know anything and is just talking nonsense.”

Jin So-yeon stuck out her plump lips and babbled.

She knew very well that Lee Jin-hyuk could not like Jin So-yeon because of her opposite s*x, so she was able to dismiss Yoo Seol-hyeon’s words as mere nonsense.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way Lee Jinhyuk could think of Jin Soyeon as the opposite s*x.

If Lee Jin-hyuk had liked Jin So-yeon in the first place, would he have so obediently asked to break up with Jin So-yeon, no matter how fake the relationship was?

Even if it’s fake, the view of the child and lover you like…….

– I also thought you wanted to break up because you were tired of constantly hanging out with other men.

Yoo Seol-hyeon’s words flash through my mind for a moment.

– I think it would be difficult in many ways to be the boyfriend of a woman who has many friends of the opposite s*x.

“… ….”

I am a lover who has many friends of the opposite s*x…….

I think it might have been a bit difficult if we were really in a relationship.

No matter how much you are friends, you don’t really want to see your lover hanging out with someone of the opposite s*x.

By the way.

What if Jinhyuk secretly likes Jin Soyeon?

Then isn’t Jin So-yeon going to be making Jin-hyuk Lee suffer until now?

Because she asked me to be a fake lover, which I asked for.

Jinhyuk has been there ever since.

“…… Me too. “Strange thoughts.”

Jin So-yeon jumped out of her bed and raised her upper body, suddenly shaking her head and letting out a weak laugh.

It’s literally the worst.

The fact that the person I like didn’t just ask for a fake romantic relationship, but also continued to show me hanging out with other people of the opposite s*x, it really wasn’t something a person would do.

Especially for Jinhyuk, my best childhood friend.

Even more so.

“My head hurts for no reason.”

What if Jin So-yeon had been in the opposite position?

First of all, the request for a fake romantic relationship would have been accepted.

I don’t really like it, but even if it’s fake, we can still be lovers.

But does the person you like continue to hang out with someone of the opposite s*x?

No matter how fake it may be, is there someone you are in a romantic relationship with?

You’re even giving me requests that don’t even seem like words?

“Ah…… “I might not have been able to bear it.”

Jin So-yeon has never really liked anyone, but if she had someone she really liked and did something like that, she would have complained before long.

However, Jinhyuk Lee remained silent for several years…….

‘No, no.’

What am I thinking now?

There is no way Jinhyuk likes me?

It can never be like that.

That didn’t work either.

But in my head, the word “What if” Stuck to me like a sticky bubble gum and I couldn’t get it off.

The more you try not to think about it, the more it sticks to you.

Like a swamp that you can’t get out of.

‘It’s unlikely, but if Jinhyuk declared a breakup for that reason…….’

Lee Jin-hyuk’s sudden declaration of breakup.

He seems to be avoiding Jin So-yeon these days, saying he is busy.

Lee Jin-hyuk began to subtly hang out with Yoo Seol-hyeon a lot.

“… ….”

For a moment, various thoughts appeared in her mind like a twinkling morning star, and then became a mess in Jin So-yeon’s mind.

The thoughts of ‘what if’ were secretly suggesting various possibilities to Jin So-yeon.

Really unpleasant possibilities.

‘Why do I keep thinking these useless thoughts? Ha, really. Sleep, sleep. Sleep, go to the academy tomorrow…….’

Boom!

A dull sound struck my ear in an unconscious moment.

It sounded like something heavy was falling into the yard, so Jin So-yeon reflexively got up from her bed and hurriedly looked out her window.

However, perhaps because it was night, it was dark and visibility was not good. Jin So-yeon slightly bit her lower lip. Surely, again?

Jin So-yeon carried her training steel wooden sword lying in her room, opened the window and landed in her yard.

Although it was two stories tall, Jin So-yeon was an aspiring hero.

Falling from this height and landing was easier than a piece of cake.

Soon, Jin So-yeon landed in her yard and turned her head to look at the source of her sound. If it was indeed me, should I say it was me?

In one part of the yard slightly away, there was a rather large stone.

There was something that looked like pure white paper attached to the stone block, and when I got closer and looked closely, I saw that, as expected, there was an insult written in large sentences like ‘Jin So-yeon, a slut.’

“It’s like this again, again…” ….”

Jin So-yeon’s expression fell and she hurriedly opened the door and went outside, but there was no one on the road in her residential area.

It seemed like she quickly ran away as soon as she threw the rock with an insignificant swear word written on it into the yard of Jin So-yeon’s house.

“Ha. Really.”

Jin So-yeon sighed heavily and closed her front door tightly.

She was like this a while ago and is doing this again.

“I’m tired.”

It was probably the work of someone who was jealous of Jin So-yeon.

They are not immature children, but how old are they already to do something like this?

Jin So-yeon had experienced this a few times in the past.

When she became friendly with a popular boy, the girls, blinded by her envy and jealousy, harassed Jin So-yeon in many ways.

There were many ways to do this, such as putting trash in her desk, spreading bad rumors, throwing water in the bathroom, sticking strange things on her, etc.

Jin So-yeon stayed calm as usual, as if she did not want to lose to Jin-so’s solidarity, and with the help of Lee Jin-hyuk, who was inferior to her, and her mother, the case was successfully resolved.

However, because of Jin So-yeon’s friendly personality, her beautiful appearance, and the boys she was close with, these things happened occasionally for a long time.

At least when she was dating Jinhyeok, she was quiet…….

It is said to be the best hero academy in Korea, but in the end, all people live the same.

‘There’s no point in reporting it to the police, right?’

I have reported this type of incident once in the past, but since there were no actual casualties, at best it was only attempted damage and a misdemeanor.

Currently, there was no CCTV, so it was difficult to identify who it was.

She seems to be a student at the academy.

Who are you?

‘I’m glad my mom is away on a business trip.’

Jin So-yeon grabbed the piece of paper attached to the stone and tore it off. And for a moment she silently looked down at what was written on the paper. What a slut. It was truly a blatant profanity.

‘…… Siun. ‘Maybe you’re one of the girls who likes Siwoon?’

Lee Si-un had many girls she liked.

But she doesn’t really blame Lee Si-un.

The one who did something wrong is the culprit who did this.

There is no need to avoid him or be discouraged by this.

No, I don’t want to do that.

It seems like you are giving in to the guy who does this.

Is it okay for an aspiring hero to follow the intentions of a mere criminal?

‘But calling me a slut is a bit too much.’

Now that I think about it, there have been a lot of bad rumors going around about Jin So-yeon in my class these days.

There are rumors that she dumped Lee Jin-hyuk to date Lee Si-woon.

‘Ha. It’s annoying.’

Because Jin So-yeon secretly had a rebellious temperament, even when she heard such rumors, she did not flinch and behaved as usual, but she was a little stressed.

‘Anyway, no matter what we do, we tie each other up and start strange rumors. Just hanging out with her friends. ‘What kind of woman or man are you talking about?’

Jin So-yeon tore up her paper with her eyebrows slightly distorted.

But these days, because of the things related to Lee Jin-hyuk and Yoo Seol-hyeon, her mind is in a mess and she is feeling even more stressed.

***

Academy the next day.

“…… “Is he still chasing Si-woon?”

“I guess so. Have you ever heard that rumor?”

“What rumor?”

“Well, he… ….”

“Wow, my God? Really? Anyway, she’s really proud of her pretty face, too.”

Whispering.

Bad rumors about Jin So-yeon continued to spread.

There were many of her female students who were glancing at her and muttering secretly.

“…… Under.”

Jin So-yeon frowned her eyebrows.

It seems like strange rumors are becoming more and more common these days.

‘Isn’t this something Yoo Seol-hyun and their group are spreading?’

It’s obvious.

It is certain that Yoo Seol-hyeon did what she did.

Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if it’s sincere or not, but Yoo Seol-hyeon said that she was interested in Jin-hyuk and blah blah, right?

Oh, wasn’t it by chance that Yoo Seol-hyeon was the one who threw the stone at the house? By making the kids in the group do it?

‘…… If that’s the case, I can’t leave Jinhyuk in the care of a kid like that.’

What if Yoo Seol-hyeon and Jin-hyuk are lucky enough to date?

Even if other women are good, they are not as good as Yoo Seol-hyeon.

I can’t let Jinhyuk hang out with such a villain.

If you hang out with him, Jinhyuk will definitely have a hard time.

Yes, yes.

It will be so.

Definitely, definitely.
