Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family - Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family chapter 64

64 – Lion Face-to-face

The movie theater date was the second largest date among Soyi and I in our past life, after the house date.

Even when we were on dates at home, most of the time was spent watching movies or dramas, so it can be said that watching movies was the activity we did together the most.

But we didn’t originally have a hobby of watching movies.

The reason our dates mostly took place indoors was simply because of my complex.

I used to not go to crowded and bright places because of my ugly face, but it got worse when I was with Soyi.

I was afraid that people would criticize my girlfriend for being with a guy like me, so I always preferred indoors as a date spot.

It’s a great memory to go to a place I often go with Soi, but… On the contrary, it is also a place where she feels truly sorry for her. Because of her ugly boyfriend, she always had to hold back from doing what she wanted to do.

But why is today’s date also going to the movies?

Because it was our first date, I didn’t want to fail with a familiar date, and there were other reasons.

Besides, today we won’t just watch a movie with Soi.

“Sol!”

“Yeah, you came out quickly?”

When I arrived in front of Soi’s house at 12 o’clock, the appointed time, Soi, who had been waiting for me, waved her hand happily.

She’s always pretty, but today’s Soi is really pretty.

First of all, I like the combination of the black knit vest and the white, thin blouse worn as an inner layer.

Soyi usually only wears pants when working, but today she came out wearing a pretty tennis skirt. Her thin ankles and calves make her beautiful legs stand out even more.

But…

“… But isn’t your skirt too short? Did you wear underpants? “I think the hem of the skirt is too high above my knees.”

“Huh? Ah… Look at this. This is just a skirt in the front, it’s actually a skirt pants. Ruler!”

Soyi turned around and showed me her back. As expected, she did as she said, only the front of her was a skirt and the back of her was pants.

When I think about it, I remember something like this happened in the past. At that time, I had such low self-esteem that I didn’t dare to comment anything about Soyi’s clothes.

Anyway, there’s no problem with pants. Even if it’s a little short… Don’t try to control it too much.

“That’s right. Anyway, you look very pretty today. I especially like the blouse under that knit. “When I told you to make it look pretty, Kim So-yi, did you really listen?”

“… Oh, don’t make fun of me.”

“It’s really pretty. Did you buy it on purpose so you could wear it on a date? “The clothes look like something new?”

“Oh, no… It just seems like it was there originally, uh… I don’t really remember… “

I praised him to the fullest, but he was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to do. Cute.

In fact, she knew from Kwak Joo-hee’s last time that she bought new clothes on purpose because of Soi.

So, I was thinking that we should go out together sometime, and that opportunity happened to be today.

“Then let’s go eat lunch first. “I’m going to eat Nakgopsae.”

“Nak, Gopsae… ? What is that?”

“There is something you might like. “It’s near a movie theater, so let’s go first.”

Soyi hears the name for the first time and a question mark appears in her head.

Octopus + tripe + shrimp, shortened to nakgopsae.

In her past life, it was one of the things Soy loved, but you don’t know. Well, in this life, Soyi has never even eaten tripe.

Still, you’ll like it. For today’s date, I prepared it by thinking of only the things you liked.

We boarded the bus, went to the street where the movie theater we had decided to go to, and entered Nakgopsae House.

First of all, since it was my first time at the restaurant, I carefully consulted with Soi and placed my order, and the staff stir-fried the food in the pot for me.

“This is so delicious!”

“Right? “I told you you’d like this, right?”

Fortunately, the taste of Nakgopsae at this restaurant was excellent. It was worth it to choose a store after diligently searching online reviews since yesterday.

Soyi, who had been skeptical even before trying it herself, loved it with sparkling eyes. Seeing him eat so beautifully makes it worth bringing him in.

“Why, why do you look at me like that… ?”

“I just like it.”

“… “What are you talking about?”

I said something a little cringy, and he turned bright red and hung his head. I guess I still can’t stand comments like this.

If you start dating anyway, these tickling words will become part of your daily life, so you should get used to it in advance.

“Huh? “Have you calculated it already?”

“Yes, just leave. “You forgot something, right?”

“Yes, but…” I’ll send the money to your account first. “This store has some prices.”

“It’s okay, this is the store I asked to come to. We must have eaten, so let’s quickly go to a cafe and have something to drink to clear our throats. Hurry.”

“Uh, uh… “

I forcibly pushed Soyi, who had a troubled face, on her back.

When we arrived at a nearby cafe, we ordered drinks one by one.

This time, he tried to take out his card, saying he would pay, so I quickly handed my card to the employee first.

“Why do you keep doing this? “The two of you are going on a date, so why are you the only one spending money?”

“Just let me do that for today, okay? I decided to go on a date today too. “Just let our first date be like that.”

“… Just the first date?”

He gently held Soyi’s hand and asked her to do so, and was able to get permission by saying that it was just for today and that he would pay for the next date himself.

It made her feel good again to think that she was thinking about her next date.

While taking a break at the outdoor seating area of the cafe, Soyi, who was sucking on a vanilla frappe, asked.

“By the way, Sol, do you usually like melodrama movies? “I looked for the movie you wanted to see and it turned out to be a very melodrama.”

“Yeah, well, just…” It’s not something I enjoy watching, but I do watch it occasionally. I was recommended that movie by someone in my department. “After listening to it, I thought you might like it, Soi.”

“I thought the title of that movie was really good.”

In fact, the movie we decided to watch today, “Even Sunflowers Sometimes Give Me a Sore Throat,” Was a movie that So-yi recommended to me as the most enjoyable movie she had seen in her past life, and we watched it together three times.

I thought it was great timing since this movie was released right now, so I chose this movie for Soyi and her first date. I know for sure she will like this movie.

Despite the fact that Soyi really likes it, the movie failed at the box office.

“Sol, you are always good at matching what I like. Interesting.”

“… “I guess we have something in common.”

It was a little uncomfortable, but it didn’t show any sign.

After that, we spent some time walking around outside until movie time, and then entered the movie theater 30 minutes before the movie was scheduled to show.

———-

3:20 PM. Ara entered the theater later than the movie screening start time.

The title was a movie I didn’t really want to see, and I didn’t come here to see the movie in the first place, so it didn’t matter.

In addition, the movie itself may not have been very popular, so there weren’t many people at the theater where it was released some time after its release date.

When we went to the corner seat that was sent to us via text message, Minah, who had now dyed her hair black again, was sitting first.

Sunglasses off to her side, hat on her head. Minah, who gave off the air of “I’m an idol in disguise”, Scolded Ara who had just arrived.

“Why are you coming now? “Even though I told you to come a little later than 3 o’clock, what should I do if I’m this late?”

“Did you tell me exactly?”

“You’re still a princess, Miss Yuara? Even if I turn 20? “Am I no longer your friend Park Min-ah?”

“I know.”

Ara burst out laughing. Now that she has a friend she can confide in, she feels at ease for the first time in a long time.

But now we have to talk about uncomfortable things again.

Minah carefully brought up the story to Ara, who was sitting next to her.

“… So? Why did you do that with Sol? Ah, what do you mean you got dumped… ?”

“… “Min, what did you hear from her sister?”

“Just you… She said she was dumped by Sol. That’s why you’re having such a hard time mentally. “She asked me to take good care of her childhood friend.”

“… Okay? Min, I didn’t know you were still in contact with her older sister.”

“Is that important now? First of all, tell me about that…. Even if it’s too hard.”

“Sol asks you to let her go now… “

Ara slowly, in a trembling voice, told Minah everything that happened that day.

Minah had nothing to say after hearing the story of her two friends breaking up.

She said that she was not worthy of letting Ara go, so please let her go first, which was a truly Hansol-like declaration of breakup. In some ways, it was also the cruelest thing to say.

Because she is telling you to let go of the person you love.

How on earth did these two end up like this?

When Minah was miserably dumped by Hansol, there was a time when she hated the two of them so much that she hoped they would never get along.

But now that time has passed and the sad feelings have subsided, I have come to hope that Hansol and Ara will be happy together.

Before we were lovers, before we were lovers, we were my favorite friends. Because they were two people who really cared for her.

How did those two end up like this? I can’t even be with you anymore, let alone be a lover.

“I told you to find a way to be happy with each other, but I said you didn’t have to become lovers… But I didn’t say that the two of you would be unhappy together.”

“…… “

“Ara, why have you been like that all this time? Why were you so cruel to Sol? Why did she make him break up with her so cruelly?”

“…… “

“Say something!”

Mina, who was saddened by her friends’ tragedy, raised her voice. Realizing it, she closed her mouth.

Even though there were few people, it wasn’t polite in the theater.

“… “Let’s talk again outside after the movie.”

“… Huh.”

She didn’t like the title A, so she watched the movie blankly.

I saw a man devoted to the woman he loved. The story of a man who becomes increasingly tired of a woman who does not care for him and eventually leaves her.

Unable to look any further due to her guilt, Ara closed her eyes.

The movie did not have a happy ending.

———-

“Hi… “I’m going to go to the bathroom for a moment.”

“Yes, come back.”

So-yi ended up crying after the movie ended.

Hansol decided to wait for her in front of the women’s bathroom at her movie theater.

Since Hansol has already seen this movie three times, she did not cry even when it was sad, but Soyi said that she had only seen this movie since a long time ago and she could not stop crying.

‘No…’ Now that I think about it, I didn’t cry when I first saw it.’

I remember being criticized by Soyi for not crying even after watching such a sad movie and for not being human.

When I think about it now, I burst out laughing, saying it was a bit unfair.

Tak-

“… ?”

I heard something and turned around to see that someone had dropped their bag.

A women’s shoulder bag that looks quite expensive. Hansol reflexively bent down to pick it up and handed it to the person in front of her.

“…… “

“…… ?”

But the woman did not accept the bag handed to her.

Only then did Hansol raise her head and identify the owner of her bag.

She was staring blankly at Hansol.

“… “Sol.”

“… “Yara.”

There were tears in the corners of her eyes.
