chapter 30

Chapter 30

SuA came home in a bad mood, she didn't bother eating dinner, took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard and drank. In front of her was the sparkling and bustling city of Seoul, but nothing could make her happier.

She planned to go home to find the pair of rings she had bought in Hong Kong, and she would give them to Siyeon as a reconciliation gift.

Siyeon told her about that ring when they were in Piri, then she went home and looked for that pair of rings because she was so curious. It is a ring from Meez, a high-end jewelry brand in Hong Kong. SuA also reviewed her purchase history via email. She learned that she bought that pair of rings for 10 million won.

So 6 months ago, she went to Hong Kong, bought a pair of very expensive rings to give to Siyeon and the two of them would wear couple rings, she felt that she herself was very romantic. Now 9 months have passed, the ring has been bought but no one has worn it yet.

And now she treats Siyeon like a heartless person, no wonder why Siyeon is angry with her.

SuA was lost in sad thoughts when Handong came home.

- Hello, oh, are you drinking? – Handong was surprised.

- Come here and drink together - SuA took another glass.

Handong thought it was simply because SuA had just finished dinner and was free to drink alcohol. She knew that this girl was passionate about alcohol and drank as a habit. SuA clinked glasses with Handong, drank a few glasses but remained silent without saying anything, making Handong wonder.

- Do you have any concerns?

- No, nothing - SuA shook her head slightly.

- Why are there so few words today?

- Handong, what do you think about me?

Handong laughed loudly.

- You're such an idiot.

- What?

- How many times do I have to tell you that I really like you before you remember?

- ……… - SuA sighed.

- I thought you had a heart of stone, so I didn't expect much, until I learned that you had loved a girl in the past, so I could be a little happier, lucky, not a guy. Now being with you every day like this makes me happy.

- Have you ever loved anyone?

- When I was in China, I dated a girl but broke up, that person betrayed me and went on a date with someone else.

- Handong, let's go on a date.

- Huh? – Handong was shocked, her eyes widened as she looked at the other person.

- Do you need me to say it again?

- No….hmm….you're drunk, right?

- I drank half a liter of wine, of course I can't be as alert as usual, but I clearly realize what I'm saying - SuA turned around to face Handong.

Handong was fascinated by the close distance with SuA, she could feel SuA’s warm breath covering her entire face.

She felt drunk even though she had just had one glass of wine.

Handong hugged SuA's face, pressing her lips against those wonderful thin lips.

She had wanted this for a long time even though she had no hope of ever having it. But look now, she's kissing Kim SuA and SuA's reciprocating.

Really happy.

SuA hugged Handong's neck and deepened the kiss. She lifted her legs and climbed onto the sofa, pushing Handong to lie down.

Today Handong is wearing a black two-strap dress that looks extremely seductive.

- It's cold, why are you wearing thin clothes?

- I was wearing a coat just now - Handong said weakly, SuA hadn't done anything more than kiss her but inside she was already burning.

SuA removed the two straps from Handong's shoulders, her lips slowly moving down.

- Ahh…..

SuA paused….

The image of Siyeon that day in Piri appeared in her mind.

When the two of them were on the balcony….

That night…..

“Kim Bora…”

“You can do whatever you want, but there's one thing you mustn’t do”

“ That's loving any girl but me”

SuA felt a headache, she squinted her eyes and then moved to lie next to Handong, not forgetting to pull Handong’s shirt strap back. This sofa is large enough for two people to lie on.

- I'm sorry.

- Why are you apologizing? - Handong raised her voice, what she was looking forward to was suddenly lost, she suddenly felt empty.

- Come here – SuA pulled Handong into her arms and hugged Handong

- …….

- I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep.

- Hmmm….okay – Handong mumbled in SuA's arms, her heart was not very concerned, she hadn't taken a shower yet.

Handong lay here for a while and then go take a shower, she thought.

And SuA fell asleep, still stuck in the image of Siyeon.

Siyeon's house.

Siyeon and Bona sat next to each other in the living room, dinner was unfinished and the two of them could not go to the room to sleep yet. The TV is showing a movie but no one is paying attention to its content.

Bona saw that Siyeon was lost in thought, she couldn't stand it and decided to speak up. She knew that the person next to her was trapped by the ex-lover, she saw Siyeon's collapse just now. Siyeon must have been unstable when she met that person named Kim Bora again.

- Siyeon, how long are you planning on doing this?

- ……- Siyeon looked deeply at the TV screen but her eyes were very lifeless, she was still shocked by Bora's words.

Thinking about Bora and Handong living together for the past 2 months, she really felt uneasy.

When she was with Bora, Bora didn't show much interest in the person named Handong even though Handong texted Bora a lot. But small rain lays great dust, if Bora stays with Handong long enough, Bora will be shaken...

What if that happens?

Siyeon would die, she couldn't bear to let that happen.

Just now she opened Bora's gift bag, which contained a set of clothes for Shin and a jacket for her. The weather is getting cold, Bora goes shopping for things for her and Shin like this, she feels very warm, but the fact that Bora is with Handong, it still makes her in a state of pain.

- Siyeon, you are clearly the lady of the Lee group, you can buy this house and that car if you like. You shouldn't stay in a house and drive a car that belongs to your ex.

- ……………

- That will lower your self-esteem, you should go somewhere else to live, Siyeon.

- …………

- Let me find a new house for you.

- Bona !!

- ……….

- I need some quiet time alone – Siyeon stood up and went to the bedroom. After taking a few steps, Bona stopped her.

Bona hugged her from behind.

- Siyeon, why are you like this, lately you've been living with me, don't you realize? – Bona hugged Siyeon tightly as if the other person would disappear.

Siyeon was surprised by Bona's actions but her mind was still stuck on that story.

The fact that she was in Bora's possession was her own volition. After Bora left here, she could also find another house to live in and buy another car to drive, but she couldn't.

This house and that car have many memories of the two of them. She never wanted to forget those memories, she wanted to tie them tightly in her heart. Not only do memories exist in this house, there are other memories as well.

Memories of Piri, memories of Bora's old house in Daegu, the two of them were together in many different locations, each location was together for a short time. Those short times are strung together to become a long strip of memorable and happy memories.

No matter how many challenges she experienced in her relationship with Kim Bora, Siyeon never thought about giving up. If she thinks about it, only half of her thinks about it, there is still the other half that wants to keep Kim Bora by her side until the end.

As usual, she should have listened to Bona, but she was a stubborn child who liked to embrace her misery.

- I'm really trying to show you that I really want to be with you forever, to live happily with you, can we just stay together peacefully like a few days ago? – Bona said, her voice full of condescension

Siyeon gently removed Bona's embrace and continued walking.

- Bona, I'm sorry.

Next morning.

Handong woke up in SuA's arms, feeling both happy and disappointed, disappointed because of yesterday's unfinished business.

As for the happiness, it was already obvious, the first time she was close to SuA at such a distance, she felt that the sleep she just had was the most wonderful sleep.

But what SuA said yesterday still needs to be verified. SuA suggested going on a date with Handong while drunk even though she denied it. Handong was both skeptical and worried about it.

While eating breakfast, Handong glanced at SuA's face and saw that SuA didn't show much and was difficult to guess.

- Do you feel better?

- Huh?

- You drank too much yesterday.

- I'm drinking ginger tea - SuA drank the glass next to her, yesterday she didn't eat anything, only drank wine, her stomach was about to ulcerate.

- What you said yesterday, do you still remember?

- Yes, I still remember...

- ……….

- But I'm sorry, I didn't think clearly.

- What?

- I mean...when we get closer to each other at a higher level...then I...I feel uncomfortable, maybe because I'm not ready.

Handong pondered, inside her disappointment was growing….

It turned out that was the reason, she thought it was because SuA was too tired last night, but it wasn't.

- I'm sorry - SuA bowed her head, not daring to look directly at Handong.

- Okay, let's pretend nothing happened last night, but you have to make it up to me - Handong shrugged.

- What compensation?

- Take me out to play.

- Oh, that's so simple – SuA laughed.

---

Siyeon came home after finishing her work, the house was more empty than usual, she went straight into the room and saw Shin sleeping soundly, she walked around the house to see if there was anything else...

Bona is not here.

Siyeon called Bona.

"Hello"

- Did you go out?

“Yes, I have some work.”

- You should at least say something to me when you go out, Shin can't stay at home alone like that - Siyeon growled, she felt a bit uncomfortable. Shin is not yet 1 year old, what if something happens to the baby and there is no one around.

That's why she always needs her maid Jo.

“I'm sorry, I was actually in a bad mood so I went to the bar.”

- Bona, you shouldn't react to everything with such complete emotion - Siyeon sighed, her voice filled with disappointment.

“I'm so tired, can you come pick me up?”

- Shin can't stay home alone, you know that.

“Isn't there Mrs. Jeong next door that you know? I find her friendly and enthusiastic.”

Every time Siyeon breathes, it's as if she wants to shake off the heavy stone in her body. Neighbor Jeong is the person she often comes into contact with and talks to when there are things related to this town. That middle-aged woman knew her current situation, as a young woman raising a baby. Shin also came into contact with Mrs. Jeong a few times.

- Wait a minute, please text me the address.

Siyeon carried Shin and ran to a neighbor's house to ask for help, then drove to the bar to pick up Bona.

When she arrived, she knew it was a fairly large bar. It was currently 11pm, the bar's busiest peak hour. Siyeon struggled to squeeze through the crowd, going to the counter for retail customers to find Bona.

When she arrived, she saw Bona sleeping at the table, and at the same time an employee approached.

- You are a friend of this customer, right?

- That's right, thank you - Siyeon tried to say, it's too noisy here and every time she spoke it was like shouting.

She touched Bona's back and shook Bona awake. At the same time, she glanced around to observe this bustling space.

Siyeon already guessed the reason for Bona's bad mood, because this morning she asked Bona to move to another place.

She found a small apartment to rent that was suitable for Bona. She told Bona that she would lend Bona money to pay off the debt and would lend an additional 5 million won for Bona to have daily expenses. Bona can just earn money gradually and pay her later. She is not too strict about the payment deadline, Bona can pay when Bona has it. She knew this decision would make Bona sad but she couldn't do it any other way.

  Bona slowly sat up, seeing Siyeon she’s very happy.

- You're here, let's drink - Bona told the bartender to give her another glass.

- Bona, you're drunk, let's go home.

- No, we can drink a little and then come back later.

Siyeon frowned, reluctantly took the glass of wine that Bona gave her, and took a small sip.

She suddenly saw a very familiar figure standing on the mezzanine floor of the bar.

It's Kim Bora.

---

SuA was motionless when she saw Siyeon sitting downstairs at the bar, sitting with the girl named Bona.

Handong and her friends were still engrossed in dancing, arm in arm, drinking beer happily. SuA stood thoughtfully beside them, one hand clinging to the railing, the other holding a glass of beer, immersing herself in the image below.

She saw Siyeon also looking back at her, the two kept their eyes on each other for about 5 seconds.

………….

Siyeon broke off her gaze, lowering her face to focus on her glass. Bona next to her was also drinking and swaying to the music. In this space, they couldn't talk to each other because it was too noisy, so the matter between the two of them still hasn't been raised.

A minute later Siyeon's phone vibrated, she received a text message...

Comes from Kim Bora.

“Why are you here?”

Siyeon immediately texted back but did not answer the question.

“Your life with Handong is so fun, partying together every day, Handong seems like the auburn-haired girl standing next to you, right? She is very beautiful.”

“I and her are just friends.”

“A friendship will end if one person confesses their love.”

“So has Kim Bona confessed her love to you yet?”

“She has a name similar to yours, maybe I should agree to her confession.”

SuA read the message and looked down at Siyeon, she really didn't know what Siyeon wanted anymore.

She saw Siyeon also looking back at her, a look that made her even more confused.

"The fact that you agreed to let her stay with you and then acted intimately like that, it's an indirect consent." – text from SuA

“How do you feel about that?”

“If there is someone next to you, taking care of you so thoughtfully, I wish you happiness.”

Siyeon seemed to change her eye color after reading the message, she stood up suddenly.

- Bona, let's go home.

- Drink some more.

- If you don't go, just stay here, I'll go home first - Siyeon turned and walked away.

Bona saw that Siyeon's face was not looking good, so she got up from the chair and followed.

SuA stood quietly above, looking down at the entire scene.

End chapter 30.
