Chapter 49 Morning Shura Field
Jung Do-hoon and Hwang Ye-ji stood by the roadside, waiting for a taxi. After exchanging a glance, they tacitly looked away and remained silent.
He was carrying a shopping bag containing shirts that Sana Minatozaki had bought.
Just as Sana Minatozaki shoved the shirt into Jung Do-hoon's hands, Hwang Ye-ji suddenly spoke up:
"New clothes haven't been washed, so they'll have a lot of bacteria and dust. Even if I wear them, they'll make me itchy. Besides, it's not far from Oppa's house, so I can easily go back, take a shower, and change my clothes."
The awkward yet slightly ambiguous atmosphere was completely ruined. Jung Do-hoon took 60,000 won from his wallet and left it on the table, as if he had bought the shirt from Minatozaki Sana.
Jung Do-hoon had intended to stay and help Minatozaki Sana wash the dishes, but she angrily chased him away.
To be precise, Sana Minatozaki's anger wasn't directed at Jung Do-hoon, but rather at the silent girl beside him who was staring at the ground.
She just directly contradicted Sana Minatozaki.
"I'm sorry for making you worry..." Zheng Daoxun sighed softly. If he had to put a tone on this matter, the responsibility would be entirely on him.
He was drunk and stumbled into Sana Minatozaki's house in a daze.
"Worry is a normal emotion, isn't it? Why apologize?"
Hwang Ye-ji brushed aside the stray hairs falling from her temples, pursed her lips, and although her eyes darted away, she couldn't help but look at Jung Do-hoon.
What am I even saying...?
Why does this feel like a confession of love...?
But that was what she truly felt. She didn't think worrying about Jung Do-hoon was something he should apologize for, just like—
To give an inappropriate example, it's perfectly normal for a girlfriend to be worried when her boyfriend doesn't come home all night.
At this moment, the boyfriend should explain why he didn't come back and apologize for not being able to be by his girlfriend's side.
Instead of apologizing for the fact that "his girlfriend was very worried about him".
Although the analogy is not perfect, Huang Lizhi believes the principle is the same.
At least, she and Jung Do-hoon were very close, weren't they?
However, the appearance of Sana Minatozaki caused Hwang Yeji to waver in his belief in the word "closeness".
"Worried..." Zheng Daoxun repeated, then shook his head: "If I hadn't acted recklessly, you wouldn't have to be in this state of mind."
"But I've been worried about this for a long time. Are you saying my worries were completely unnecessary?"
When Jung Do-hoon looked at Hwang Ye-ji again, the girl's eyes were already slightly moist.
His heart felt as if a crack had been torn open by her tears.
Now is not the time to regret your drunken folly.
"That's not what I meant," he paused for a moment, "There's a park nearby, let's go for a walk to clear our heads. I think you have a lot of questions on your mind too."
Huang Lizhi didn't speak, but simply raised his hand to wipe his eyes, looked at the coffee shop across the street, and sniffed.
She seems to have said something impulsive.
Jung Do-hoon silently canceled the ride-hailing order, gently took Hwang Ye-ji's wrist, and walked towards the east side of the street.
The girl hesitated for a moment, but silently followed along.
The hand that was holding her wrist didn't let go again.
Zheng Daoxun had a sense of priorities.
As for Sana Minatozaki, he will definitely find an opportunity to apologize later, but that is far less important than Hwang Yeji's feelings.
After all, no matter how you look at it, in the current timeline, he and Minatozaki Sana have only met a few times, and the trouble he caused is a serious but not urgent matter.
As for her sister's emotions, even if she didn't come home all night, Ya-Hsien could still take care of herself.
Ya Xian has recently developed a sense of dependence on him. His behavior last night should have left Ya Xian feeling empty, but it shouldn't have had a significant impact on her—it was an urgent but not important matter, and he should have dealt with it as soon as possible.
But standing beside him now is a girl he's known for many years, who would rush over immediately if he called for help, and who would come looking for him if he didn't come home on time.
Her emotions were an important and urgent matter at that moment.
To the east of the apartment building is a small artificial lake, and around the lake is a children's park.
This was the place where Jung Do-hoon had taken countless after-dinner walks. He knew where to find a quiet spot where no one would disturb him, so he could sit with Hwang Ye-ji for a while without being bothered by others.
He took Huang Lizhi's wrist and led him to a bench by the lake, where they sat down.
Hwang Ye-ji sat in the middle, so Jung Do-hoon had to sit next to her.
Actually, Huang Lizhi had already adjusted her emotions on the way here; she's not an immature girl. But considering their friendship, she seemed to have conveyed too many emotions that the relationship couldn't bear.
Thinking back carefully, Jung Do-hoon really didn't do anything beyond a friendship, did he?
However, she herself attributed too much selfishness and self-centered interpretation to these actions, which in retrospect are not actually out of line.
She took a deep breath:
"Oppa, if you really want to apologize, you should talk to Ya-Hsien. At least with me..."
"I don't think worrying about you is a painful thing, it's nothing."
fool.
Jung Do-hoon lowered his head slightly and realized that he was still holding Hwang Ye-ji's wrist. He was about to let go when her wrist trembled slightly with tension.
She was both nervous about holding hands and seemingly afraid that he would let go.
A pang of sadness welled up in Zheng Daoxun's heart.
The girl sitting next to him at that moment overlapped with a figure from another time and space.
"But I can't take your concern for granted. Even in the closest relationships, if you make the other person worry, shouldn't you apologize? Yeji... Besides apologizing, I want to sincerely say thank you for your support and companionship."
"In a very faraway place, I experienced many things. Perhaps now, or perhaps in the future, I will not find a suitable time to tell you about them. No, to be precise, I cannot tell anyone about them. But the feelings and emotions that these things brought about, which are what I am conveying now, are real..."
Jung Do-hoon didn't remember how long he had been talking, but when he stopped, the girl beside him had already gently rested her head on his shoulder, and he was stunned for a moment.
Through her shirt, he could sense all the weariness the girl exuded.
"Oppa, I'm listening carefully..." the girl's voice was soft and sweet.
"Please continue, I'm a little sleepy... Can I just sleep for a while?"
A flock of birds flew across the distant sky.
The children laughed and ran straight down the slide, chattering away.
The humid summer wind blows through the greenery along the lake, creating ripples on the lake's surface, and emotions ripple outwards as well.
