[BL] Lick Me Up If You Can (Book 1)

Chapter 153

"Ash didn't do anything wrong."

Koi became thoughtful and shook his head.

"It was me who was wrong. I... ... "I hurt Ash."

"More than 10 years ago. So what was the reason you walked away without even kissing Julie? Unless that bastard did something to you... ... ."

Ariel, who had said that far, paused. Koi was startled by the sight of her eyes gradually getting bigger and rounder. Ariel, seeing that reaction, opened her mouth with confidence.

"Oh my god, you met Ash."

Unable to lie, Koi just lowered his head. Ariel, seeing that, let out a sigh like a sigh, brushed away her hair, and opened her mouth again.

"What happened? "How did you meet?"

"that is... ... ."

Koi confessed what had happened so far with difficulty. Ariel, who was listening with a serious expression, only spoke when Koi finished covering her mouth.

"So that's it with Ash? "You said you agreed to be her friend?"

"Uh, yes."

When he nodded, Ariel raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"... ... Are you okay, Koi?"

"huh?"

Seeing Koi blinking, Ariel continued speaking seriously.

"You worked hard for 10 years and came this far with the sole intention of meeting Ash. But are you really okay with that?"

"uh... ... ."

Seeing his friend's sincere concern on his face, Koi hesitated before answering.

"Oh, I can't help it. Like you said, it's been 10 years. Just because Ash didn't get angry at me and asked me to be friends again... ... thank you... ... Sun... ... ."

"Koy."

I ended up not being able to finish the conversation that gradually broke off. Ariel, embarrassed, hurriedly pulled out several paper napkins and handed them to him. Only then did Koi realize that he had cried again and hurriedly squeezed his eyes to blot out the tears.

"Sorry."

"are you okay."

Ariel readily accepted Koi's apology. She just looked at him for a moment and then called a passing employee to add beer.

"you? "Do you need anything?"

When Ariel asked, Koi just shook his head. After her employee left, Ariel opened her mouth again.

"Did you tell Ash? "You worked so hard for over 10 years to meet that girl."

"Why do you say that?"

Koi was taken aback and denied it. Seeing her friend like that, Ariel immediately raised her voice as if she was getting angry.

"Of course you should have done it. Ash needs to know that you worked so hard."

"There's no need to... ... ."

"I should have told you."

Ariel spoke firmly to Koi, who was still retreating.

"If you had told Ash, he would have known that you still liked him, and then you wouldn't have heard any of the bullshit your friend said."

Ariel's attitude was strong, but it was different from Koi's thoughts.

"That's not allowed."

Koi spoke with unusual determination.
