Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

46 – First Love

From noble mtl dot com

“Lee Han-sol working at a restaurant?”

“That’s right. Well, it’s a snack bar at the north gate, but the name is… Soy Snack? I heard that it is, but has anyone been there?”

Park Dong-myeong called together his classmates from the class of 23 who usually get together and asked. No one answered, just staring at each other. It sounds like no one knows

Well, they are still freshmen in March. It is only natural that we did not visit all the numerous establishments in the most prosperous North Gate of Hankuk University.

“What if you don’t have it? Let’s all go together today. Between people who don’t have dinner plans.”

“Yeah, love for siblings and love for country! My classmate, Hansol, is working part-time, so let’s cheer for each other!”

When I gathered the people to go, there were about 10 freshmen in the 23rd class.

Since she is Hansol, who is not very sociable, she didn’t get along very well with other classmates other than Dongmyeong Park, but that didn’t matter to her freshmen.

Because I’m bored. Due to the nature of the College of Education, where grades are not so important, most of the freshmen are playing around.

It is a very interesting spectacle to see that one of my classmates has a part-time job other than tutoring, and that also works at a store near the school.

Park Dong-myeong proposed to Ara and Choi Na-ra, who were just walking this way.

“Nara, you guys should come with us too.”

“What is it, brother? If you’re going to dinner, where are Ara and I supposed to go?”

“Oh, really? Cabi. We’re going to Hansol Lee’s part-time job.”

“Has Hansol been part-time? At a restaurant?”

Choi Na-ra asked back in surprise. It was a very unexpected place for Hansol to work.

She had been in contact with Hansol for a long time, but she hadn’t heard the news at all because she was Hansol, who didn’t talk well about herself.

“Yeah, I heard it’s called Soi Bunsik. They say they also sell soup tteokbokki there, so let’s go too. Ara, are you curious about Lee Hansol’s part-time job?”

“… Yes.”

She replied with a calm smile, but she was actually a little shaken.

Why does Hansol bother to work at a snack bar? And why does she care so much about the name of the store, ‘Soy Bunsik’?

In the end, Ara and Choi Nara canceled their reservations at the store they were supposed to go to and joined the group of classmates.

Ara met Soi for the first time at the store she arrived at under the guidance of Park Dongmyeong.

She didn’t know, of course, that she was the woman the man she loved loved.

———-

‘Kim Soi… Where did I hear this name?’

Ara pondered while making eye contact with Soi.

Ara didn’t know why her heart fluttered so much at the name of this woman in front of her, why she remembered that name herself.

Because it was a very old memory. Because it was only one sleepover.

Looking at Ara, who couldn’t continue her words after calling her own name, her soi tilted her head.

“Hey, do you know me?”

“… Oh, no. Just hope it’s the same name as the store. He must be a very young boss… “

Ara gave an ambiguous answer. She felt something like a sense of déjà vu, but there was nothing to say about it to the other person.

At the mention of the name of the store, Soyi felt embarrassed and grabbed the back of her neck.

“Ah, hahahaha… That’s right, it’s named after me. But I’m not the boss… It’s just that our boss said that there was nothing to do with the store name, hahahaha… “

“I see… “

Ara smiled awkwardly at Soi’s answer and nodded. Soyi, who sensed something uncomfortable about her, smiled awkwardly.

Staring at each other without further conversation, Soi glanced at Ara from head to toe.

Big, bright eyes and tear points next to them, vividly colored, well-defined, moist lips, a high, moderately long, straight nose, and white jade-like skin.

Her breasts are not big, but they are moderate, not small, and her legs have beautiful lines coming out of thin ankles and slender calves.

His voice was clear and his demeanor was graceful.

There was a woman in front of her who seemed to have beaten all the conditions of a man’s ideal type.

‘Very pretty… no, he is a beautiful person Lee Han-sol has a woman like this among her peers.’

Soyi was stunned. Since she herself was young, she has often been told that she is pretty, but it is not enough to say that the woman in front of her is pretty.

She even said that she was a student at Korea University, so she would be smart, and looking at the attitude of her peers around her, she seemed to be popular.

‘I really have it all, I have it all… It’s completely different from someone like me.’

So Yi’s bad habit came out again. She said Han-sol often told her not to do that, but how could she not be pessimistic with a person like this in front of her eyes.

She looked at each other first, and Soi lowered her eyes.

Looking at her, Ara felt a little superior and smiled.

She

Ara thought it was foolish to feel superior to others just because she had a lot of things, but she was somehow different from Soi in front of her.

“Anyway, since Hansol is my colleague, please take good care of me. That kid must have had a part-time job like this for the first time.”

“Ah, yes… “

“Ara and Hansol were friends when they were young. But Ara, Hansol takes care of you while pretending not to be like that? What is it?”

“It’s not like that.”

“My childhood friend… “

Beside Ara, her motive helped with a word.

Soi felt a deeper sense of defeat than before. She is this woman who has everything perfect, she knew Han Sol long before she was herself.

‘Why am I doing this? Just… Something is so unpleasant.’

Her chest felt tight. It was hard for her to stand there any longer, so Soyi returned to her kitchen, leaving only the words to enjoy her meal.

Kwak Joo-hee said that she had arrived well, and she showed So-yi the screen of her cell phone.

“Look at this, I said I saw that pretty girl somewhere, and it’s true! That Daehan Group granddaughter! They also filmed advertisements for their own companies.”

Ara’s SNS account was displayed on the screen Kwak Joo-hee showed. She might have meant to share something fun in her own way, but her timing was really bad.

“… That’s a lot of money.”

“Sometimes I see people taking pictures of food or something, but would you like to take a picture of our store too? For promotional purposes. Since Hansol is your classmate, would you like to ask?”

“… Well. Excuse me. And I’m a bit awkward with him, so it’s hard for me to ask for something like that.”

“What? Lee Han-sol, are you good in class? Do some face value. You said you were confident.”

“No, I don’t know if it’s just a guest, but people who know me are like that.”

“…… “

Awkward? Why is it awkward not friendly? Or not… Any other reasons? Why are you looking at that person with those eyes?

Soi looked at Hansol’s eyes as he looked towards Ara.

Woeful eyes, eyes full of emotion.

‘Don’t make that face…. Don’t look at him.’

She didn’t know whether Hansol hated seeing Ara or her friend making such a pitiful face, but Soi wanted to turn her gaze away from Hansol.

“… Hansol Lee.”

“Huh?”

“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? There are no late orders right now, so I’ll make something for you.”

“Uh… Do you think it would be better if I just made it?”

“What are you? Are you criticizing my cooking skills now?”

“No… I’m afraid you’ll be tired.”

“You come here. Are you secretly yusei that you’ve been cooking something since the other day? Guess who can cook better now?”

Looking at Soyi who patted his shoulder and grumbled, Hansol laughed.

It was a grumbling tone, but Soyi also smiled broadly. Because Hansol is smiling.

‘… They look friendly.’

Ara noticed two people arguing in the kitchen. One thing came to my mind at that look.

13 Hansol, who was the first to leave during the face-to-face meeting, used the excuse of meeting her friend and left early at that late hour.

A friend other than Ku Min-seop. And Hansol acting friendly with Soi in the kitchen.

‘Is that woman that friend? But… ‘

The Hansol that Ara knows doesn’t get along with others that easily. Especially if she’s a woman.

Besides Ara, the only girl she is close with is Mina. She knows that now she is in touch with her best friend, Nara Choi, but she also knows that Nara Choi is hitting her wall.

But why are you so friendly with that girl?

Why is that… No, that would be a useless idea. I guess Hansol can also have a friend with her like a lady.

She is Hansol who dumped Minah, her childhood friend, until the end. She can’t get along with that girl she just met.

While she was repeating that to herself, Ara kept her soy face in her eyes for a long time.

Soyi’s pretty smile was very unpleasant to Ara.

———-

After 10 o’clock, I close the door of Soyi Bunsik, and today I walk the night road with Soyi Kim.

There was no inconvenience in working from the first day, either because the store was small or because it worked with people I already knew.

The boss, Kwak Joo-hee, only worked for one day, but he was good at using me, he laughed.

A pretty good start.

If there is just one problem… This is Kim So next to me. She was low pressure and drooped. She did everything no matter what I said.

Exactly this shape has been since my classmates went to the store.

Frustrated, I decided to openly ask.

“Kim Soi, did my classmates say something strange to you?”

“No? Are they all good people? I hope you come often… “

“Then what’s wrong?”

“… No problem.”

There is no problem.

If it’s a problem I don’t want to talk about, I don’t want to ask more, but if the cause is my classmates earlier, I can’t.

I deliberately stopped walking with a deep sigh. Kim So-yi, who was walking ahead, shouted from afar.

“… What’s the matter? Are your shoelaces untied?”

“I won’t move a single step until you tell me.”

“… Are you a kid?”

“It wasn’t long before I became an adult.”

“What are you really saying… “

Soyi, who approached me with a smile, stood in front of me. She looked up at me for a moment and met her eyes, then she lowered her eyes again.

“… The person named Yooara earlier was very pretty.”

“… Okay?”

“Yes, I have never seen such a pretty person in my life. I also went to Korea University. Besides, I heard that he is the 3rd generation chaebol?”

“Yeah, that’s right… “

It was embarrassing to hear the story of Ara come out of Soyi’s mouth, but I pretended to be calm.

By the way… Was it this Why is Soyi so downcast?

Unlike her previous life, Kim So-yi in this life has quite low self-esteem. I often point out her self-deprecating habit, but she can’t be fixed.

She probably exploded when she saw herself and her polar opposite, Yuara.

“… Hey, I told you not to say that. As long as you… “

“And I heard you and Hansol Lee were friends when you were young?”

“Did you hear that?”

Cutting off my words, Soi talked about my relationship with Ara.

But what does that matter here? Are you going to fight me like that just because I have a chaebol friend?

But Kim So-yi’s next words were completely different from what I expected.

“Isn’t that just Lee Han-sol’s first love? If it’s that kind of person, she’ll admit it… “

“… What?”

“Uh… You two look good together. Huh… It fits very well. Uh, meeting my childhood friend in college is like fate…. Why don’t you do well?”

“…… “

What now? Could he be jealous?

I don’t know. Because this is the first time Kim So-yi has reacted like this.

It is true that I love Yuara. But one thing is wrong.

I didn’t know what to say, so I decided to correct that one thing.

“It’s not your first love.”

“Really? But even if I say that because I’m shy, inside… “

“My first love was someone else.”

“Yeah, that’s right… That person must be very pretty… You can’t even compare to someone like me… “

“Hey!”

She’s a bit of a jerk when she sometimes demeans herself like this, but today she’s in serious trouble.

Every time I see you like this, it’s really hard. I want to see only the bright side I used to know.

Shameful words came out of her mouth impulsively.

“I look like you.”

“Huh?”

“He said he looked a lot like you. My first love.”

“…… “

“… Let’s go now.”

I grabbed Soyi’s hand, which was frozen while standing, and dragged it. Didn’t look back

I was embarrassed to show my feverish face. Perhaps Kim So-yi’s face is the same.

Kim So-yi’s soft hand held in my grasp was hot as if it would melt.
