Chapter 54: it's not selfish it's just loving
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains covering the windows in Hyun Min's bedroom, the shine hitting Hyun Min's face. Hyun Min slowly opened his eyes and saw that dazzling light. he turned his body and looked around. He was in his room. he sat up slowly, the excruciating pain in his head made him frown. the effect of last night's hangover was really great, even now his stomach also felt uncomfortable. he felt thirsty. although a bit dizzy, he tried to walk out and saw a girl frozen in front of his room as if he was about to knock on the door.
Hyun Min chuckled and muttered,
"I think I've really gone crazy, I even saw you in my house,"
Hyun Min slowly touched Hyo Joo's face gently
"If this is really a dream, then it doesn't matter if I want to hug you, right?" Hyun Min said while kissing Hyo Joo's hair
Without Hyo Joo being able to react, Hyun Min hugged Hyo Joo's body tightly as if he didn't want to let go of the girl's body.
"I will definitely make you mine," Hyun Min whispered in Hyo Joo's ear
Hyun Min's mother, who saw her son's behavior in the morning, was enchanted with joy, but she couldn't allow her son to treat women without courtesy, Hyun Min's mother then cleared her throat. make some voice making Hyun Min look at his mother but not let go of his hug.
"Oh Mom, I seem to have gone mad, and I'm so sorry I didn't see her that day," Hyun Min said
Hyun Min's mother patted her forehead
"Quickly let go of that girl before she really..."
Hyun Min then realized that this was not a dream and let go of his hug immediately
"I'm sorry," Hyun Min said to Hyo Joo
"I didn't mean it like that, I really thought that it was just a dre.....am."
Hyun Min realized that Hyo Joo's face was really red and was speechless.
Hyun Min's mother invited them to eat, and Hyun Min said they would follow soon.
"Hey, was what I did very impolite?" Hyun min asked
Hyo Joo shakes her head as a no
Hyo Joo then looked up to see Hyun Min's face
"Don't get drunk anymore. I'm sorry, " Hyo Joo said
Hyun Min smiled, and they walked to the dining room and enjoyed a hot breakfast together.
after breakfast, Hyun Min invites Hyo Joo to look around his room.
"My room is simple. The important thing is clean." Hyun Min opened the door of his room
Hyo Joo opens the curtains, and a bright light illuminates Hyun Min's room. She can see how clean Hyun Min's room is, and the decoration is simple and neat.
Hyo Joo looks at some of the photos when Hyun Min was in his military service.
"It was a difficult and fun time," said Hyun Min
"Going back to college is also fun." Hyun Min smiled
Hyo Joo then approached Hyun Min
"Then let's go to the college, we have a class together today," said Hyo Joo
"Class together? since when?" Hyun Min doesn't remember having classes with Hyo Joo
"Actually the class senior took with Hong Joo, I also followed it, but because of some things and the professor's request I was given permission to start it in week 3" Hyo Joo held his left hand with his right hand
"Then fine, I will never skip that class." Hyun Min smiled broadly

the sun was shining brightly but the air was cold. Hyo Joo wore Hyun Min's sweater to make her warmer. they walked through the university garden to their lecture class that morning.
Hyo Joo wrapped the scarf around her neck to cover her nose and expose her eyes and forehead, which were covered in bangs.
people, as usual, looked at Hyun Min with a look of amazement. a handsome man certainly attracts attention, especially if he walks with a girl who is not on his level.
"Since when did Lee Hyo Joo think about other people's views?" Hyun Min stops and lowers Hyo Joo's scarf a bit so her face is more visible
"Besides, I'm the one who feels proud to be able to walk together with university student representatives," said Hyun Min, stroking Hyo Joo's head.
unknowingly, Hyun Jae saw everything and was very annoyed by the sight of that morning.
"If you're so upset, why don't you learn from your mistakes? you're my best friend, but sometimes your attitude is beyond my reasoning. don't expect me to talk sweetly because a true friend is always honest. " Bom put his arm around Hyun Jae's shoulder
"If you want to get his heart, then be patient and accept your punishment first," Bom said

later at caffe
three boys sitting in a cafe. sad, confused, and calm. each of them had their own thoughts in their heads. their bodies were on the same table but their minds were somewhere else. Song, it took him a long time to accept Vivi's previous words, he felt very sad that his parting with Vivi felt like it was really over, as if there was no longer any possibility to make up.
Hyun Jae saw his ex-girlfriend who he just break up with yesterday, look close to another man. he hated that fact even though he was the villain who broke his lover's heart.
Bom looks calm and drinks his Americano iced coffee. he had just returned from the long night he spent with Nana. a night full of passion that increases his serotonin and dopamine and makes him calm in the face of his two friends who are really messed up.
"Why did he leave me? Do you think I'm boring?" Song asked
"No, you are the most alive person I have ever seen," said Bom
"Then what about me? Do I always get carried away and go crazy with physical contact?" Hyun Jae asked excitedly
"No, you're the calmest person I've ever met," Bom said
Hyun Jae and Song looked at Bom. Bom realized that his two best friends needed further explanation. he put down his drink.
"You want me to be just honest or brutally honest?" Bomb asked
"Honestly, to the root, no matter how brutal we will restrain ourselves," Song said
"Wait," Song said again
"Could we order 2 glasses of iced Americano," Song called the waiter
"And a chocolate cake" Hyun Jae added
Song and Hyun Jae wanted to prepare themselves to hear Bom's opinion, which might drive them both crazy.
"Okay we are ready," Hyun Jae and Song said
Bom Then begins a lengthy explanation of the weaknesses, mistakes, and madness of her two best friends. Song and Hyun Jae drank their coffee and occasionally spooned the cake they ordered to calm their emotions from Bom's brutal honesty.
"So now do you understand?" Bomb asked
Bom did not get any answer from his two best friends.
Song and Hyun Jee look like humans whose blood has been sucked by a vampire, they look pale and lethargic.
Song put his head on the table, while Hyun Jae leaned back on the chair as if he wanted to immerse himself in the chair.
"I'm sorry if this feels tiring. But between the three of us, I went through more love stories than you. Song has probably been with Vivi for a long time, and Hyun Jae only has Hyo Joo. So maybe you guys have a hard time dealing with changes and pain and temptation in our passionate age." Bom tried to give understanding his best friend.
However, the three of them have been friends for a long time and Bom knows very well that his two best friends are very good people. it's just that everyone has flaws as well as Song and Hyun Jae.
"If I may give a suggestion, focus on yourselves for a while. Try to understand yourself first, and fill your days with positive things. Don't be in a hurry to fall in love again. Because that will be ambiguous. We have a duty. together and private college assignments, it's best to just focus on that. Song, you're also working on a song right? use this opportunity as a moment to devote 100% of your focus" Bom said
"It won't be easy to forget them, especially since we're still around them. But just enjoy things like that, at least you can still see them and watch over them from a distance" Bom said again
"Is it selfish if I still care for her and love her?" Hyunjae asked
"No, it's not selfishness, it's love. and loving it doesn't mean it has to be together and reciprocated" Bom smiled.

Hyo Joo is attending lectures with Hyun Min and Hong Joo when the cell phone that she has placed on the table vibrates. She then let it go because it was just a message. but her cell phone kept vibrating with incoming messages repeatedly. She then put his cell phone in her bag so as not to disturb her classmates. after class, Hyo Joo looks at her cell phone while walking with Hyun Min and Hong Joo. Hyo Joo pauses and suddenly runs towards the university garden. Hyun Min and Hong Joo followed Hyo Joo who was running happily.
from a distance, a man waved, and ran towards Hyo Joo, until Hyo Joo jumped into the man's arms. Hyun Min and Hong Joo were amazed at the sight.
"I'm sorry" Hyo Joo regrets not reading the message quickly
"It's okay, I will always wait for you my sweet little sister," Alex said
Hyun Min and Hong Joo are surprised to find out that the man is Hyo Joo's older brother.
Alex kissed Hyo Joo's hair lovingly.
"Let's go to lunch" Alex holds Hyo Joo's hand
they then turned around and saw Hyun Min and Hong Joo.
"oh, oppa. they are one of my college friends. this is senior Hyun Min, he just finished his military and returned to college, and this is Hong Joo, he is an exchange student from abroad"
Hyun Min and Hong Joo bowed and greeted.
"oh," Alex said giving them a strong look
"Can they join us for lunch?" Hyo Joo asked
Although annoyed, Alex is unable to say no to his little sister.
"Fine," said Alex
they ate together and talked a little
"Oppa, too protective" Hyo Joo laughed
"Why? That's the duty of an older brother," said Alex
"right?" Alex asked Hyun Min and Hong Joo
"Of course, I also have a little sister and I don't want her to be scratched at all," Hong Joo said cheerfully
"What do you think, am I too protective to be seen as selfish?" Alex asked Hyun Min
"I don't think it's too much and it's not selfish, it's affection and love" Hyun Min smiled at Hyo Joo
Hyo Joo's face suddenly blushes, making Alex question what happened when he's not around.
