Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

65 – Become an accomplice

By the time the festival was over and I left the school after unpacking my clothes, the sun was already setting.

Still, as summer was coming soon, the sun was in the sky for quite a long time, so the surroundings were not very dark. I was able to clearly see the shy expression of Han Yuna, who was standing next to me and walking away holding my hand.

“… “Say something, you idiot.”

Hanyu Naga patted her side with her joined hand and her lips pouted when she arrived at the intersection where she walked every day.

We didn’t talk a word on the way here. No, it would be correct to say that I couldn’t do it.

The scene when we were on stage is probably still playing in our heads. Even if it’s not because of the sunset, it’s because each other’s bright red cheeks say it.

Hanyu looked down at me for a moment while she was grumbling, and without her saying a word, I took her hand and stood in front of the crosswalk on her left. From here, if you go to the right, you will see the house we live in, and if you go to the left, you will find Yuna Han’s company.

Han Yuna also looked up at me with a puzzled expression because she knew that. Their eyes look as if they are asking what business they have here.

“Let’s stop by the park for a moment. “Because at the playground, you might run into your parents or my parents.”

“… Huh.”

A park on the way to the office. For some reason, Han Yuna did not express her dissatisfaction even though she insisted on going back and stopping by.

The need for a closer conversation between the two of us probably means that we are in common with each other.

“There is no one today either.”

“It always seems like this.”

“Yes, the location is a bit awkward.”

It is not near an apartment complex, nor is it located in a prominent location where people would bother to walk, so there are always few or no people in the park.

It was the same today, and as always, the only thing that greeted us when we arrived was the same pavilion and the benches around it.

“Uh, over there….”

“Huh? What?”

As usual, I was about to head to the pavilion and have a quick chat when Han Yuna grabbed my sleeve.

When she turned her head to see what was going on, she saw him muttering her words and carefully pointing somewhere towards her with his index finger. At the end of it was a bench that was somewhat narrower than the other benches, just wide enough for two people to sit close to each other.

“I want to sit there, not in the pavilion.”

“Yes, yes.”

I know very well that Han Yuna, who is more frustrated than anyone else about the narrow space, has no reason to want to sit on that bench.

On the contrary, I could see her true feelings so well that even my face got hot. I’m not so stupid that I have to explain why the two of us want to sit on that narrow bench.

I want to stay together just a little longer.

I was led by Yuna Han’s hand, as if fascinated by that blatant request, and had to head to that small bench. Even the moment I sat down, he didn’t let go of my hand.

“Did you listen to today’s song well?”

“You heard me well.”

“I listened to your song well too. “It was good.”

“Really? I’m glad.”

Although it was only a conversation of a few words, we were able to get a rough idea of each other’s feelings just from that short question and answer.

I’m sure it’s not just my imagination that it feels like each other’s hands are sweating a little more.

“… You said earlier, there is someone you like. “Can I ask who that is?”

Hanyu looked up at me and asked cautiously, even though her hand was being held back and forth by her anxiety.

However, it is a question, and in fact, it is no different from trying to solve the answer that has already been confirmed by looking at the answer sheet. At this, I smiled playfully and said something harshly.

“It’s a bit shameful to ask something you know.”

“I don’t know… ! How do I know who you like… !”

“Hmm, really?”

No, it doesn’t seem like an unfamiliar look at all to me.

I know that this is the answer that Han Yuna wants, but she is not willing to easily grant that wish because she is embarrassed and finds it unpleasant that she does not try to put the words into her mouth, but only asks me to do so.

“Then, I don’t even know the person I like, so is it okay for me to just hold his hand like this?”

“Uh, uh… ?”

When Han Yuna reversed her words and asked again with a stern look on her face, the boy’s face turned pale.

“No, that’s right. Even if you don’t have a girlfriend, isn’t it a bit weird to hold the hand of a man who has someone you like?”

“Well, that’s….”

Only then did she realize that she had fallen into the trap she had set for herself, and Hanyu Na rolled her eyes hard and tried to overcome her situation. However, there is no guarantee that a good solution will be found.

“Uh, uh….”

“Phew.”

Ah, this is kind of fun.

I know that the boy who confessed today shouldn’t think like this, but it seems there’s nothing in the world more fun than teasing Han Yuna.

She was almost in tears and couldn’t do anything, but as she looked at me, it seemed like her strange desire was being satisfied. Maybe I have a bit of a perverted temperament?

“It’s a joke.”

“No, are you kidding?”

Still, she had seen enough to see her having fun, so she relaxed her stern expression and smiled, thinking that it wouldn’t be a good idea to tease her too much.

Nevertheless, Han Yuna, as if she had not yet grasped the situation, stared at me with her eyes twitching. To this, I kindly added an explanation.

“Yes, you knew from the beginning. “I’m not the kind of guy who carelessly holds the hand of a woman I don’t like.”

When I raised our joined hands to eye level and kindly presented them to Hanyu and added, she looked at me with blank eyes for a moment and then belatedly seemed to sulk and snorted.

“… Heh, you never know. “He must have been holding other kids’ hands when I wasn’t looking.”

“Ugh, there’s no way to present evidence for this….”

There was no way to check if my hand had the fingerprints of another woman other than my other mother, so she was really embarrassed. As Han Yuna hesitated, she opened her mouth again.

“There is a way to prove it….”

“Is there such a thing?”

Has modern scientific power advanced that far? If there was a way to find out if your crush was holding the hand of another girl, it would be an unprecedented invention or discovery.

When Hanyu looked down at me out of curiosity to see what that innovative method was, she was astonished like a rabbit hiding in the grass and put her hand on her thigh and hesitated.

Still, as expected, she is a hanyu, and even though she hesitates, she does not back down. Even though she hesitated for a moment, she put the method into her mouth.

“Oh, hug me.”

“… What?”

But the content was so absurdly simple that I had to feel dazed for a moment.

Then, as if to urge me further, Han Yuna pulled on the sleeve of my dress and spread her arms.

“Oh, please hug me. If you really like me and have never looked at another girl, then your heart will flutter when you hug me. Prove it with that.”

“… “Aren’t you embarrassed to say that?”

“Si, don’t say anything that will break the mood!”

Han Yuna is glaring at me with a voice full of anger that would normally kick my shin.

No, of course it’s cute, but I was dumbfounded because I never thought such a cringe-worthy comment would come out of the mouth of Han Yuna.

Still, they tell the suspect to prove his innocence, so I have no choice but to listen. It’s not a difficult task anyway, and it’s actually a beneficial action from my perspective.

Kuuk.

Unlike the feeling of hugging her Hanyu Na when she comforted me, a soft voice came out of her Han Yu Na’s mouth as I pushed her precious thing into her arms strongly and warmly, as if holding her.

“… “I’m so excited.”

“Can you trust me now?”

“Ugh, not yet. Stay like this just a little longer. “Until I tell you to stop.”

Every time Han Yuna, with her face buried in her chest, wriggled in her arms, she felt very strange.

Whether as a child or now, there have been many times when we hugged each other to comfort each other, but just knowing that each other’s feelings have changed since then makes us feel a different level of satisfaction.

“Han Yuna.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“I like it. “When I think about it, I feel like I haven’t said this yet.”

“… ….”

In this warm atmosphere where we both leaned on each other’s warmth, I finally revealed the feelings I had hidden from Han Yuna until now.

This is the feeling I was trying to convey when one day, this guy debuts as an idol and goes out into the world and reaches a higher level, and I become the person who can stand next to him and do not get in the way of his moving forward.

Perhaps saying these words today, or even at this very moment, may not be an action for Han Yuna. Even if his feelings are the same as mine, I may have to draw the line and say not yet.

However, humans are extremely selfish creatures, and even though they know this in their head, they become useless in the face of emotions that begin to burn uncontrollably.

I want to connect a little faster and stay together a little longer. She forces that primal desire on her partner and cries out.

“I’m sorry, I actually meant to wait a little longer…. Honestly, it was difficult. “I know better than anyone else that this is not the time for you to be in a relationship.”

Han Yuna, who had been keeping her ear close to hear the sound of her heart, pulls her face away and looks up at me with a self-deprecating smile.

Then she carefully reaches out her hand and smoothes my cheek. If she were her usual Han Yuna, she would have scolded her and told her not to tremble alone, but I wonder why.

“… Park Si-yoon, do you know that?”

“What is it?”

“Actually, her debut date comes out next week. “The boss and trainers told me this.”

“Really? “It’s something to celebrate.”

I don’t know why they suddenly revealed that fact, but since it was something to celebrate, I applauded with a somewhat bitter feeling.

Hanyu was staring at me and I grabbed her hand and held it with both hands. Since she doesn’t need such applause, she seems to want to listen to her own story now.

“I’m the same as you. If I had thought about the position of my colleagues who practiced with me and the company, I wouldn’t have done something like that today. No, I couldn’t do it.”

“… ….”

It’s just as they say.

Just as I prioritized her future over my own feelings, if Hanyu had prioritized her group’s future over her own feelings, she would have passed by without even knowing my feelings. She must have given up on expressing her feelings.

However, Han Yuna did not do that. As she is holding my hand at this moment, she has decided to be honest with her feelings and respond to mine.

“It means that I am just like you, a selfish and bad person. So don’t blame yourself too much.”

At first glance, it seems like a decisive action, but in the end, it’s just like me. Han Yuna was saying that.

She then clasped my hand that she was holding, raised it to her eye level, and smiled mischievously like a bull devil.

“Besides, this is good, right? “Bad people started to like each other.”

‘Are we complicit in this?’ Han Yuna brought her clasped hands to her own face and rubbed her face in her hands like a cat showing her affection.

Her honest side, which I had never seen before, seemed so bright that I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t express any more words of concern, and she hugged him in silence.

That is how we became accomplices.
