HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 214: Secret Love (6)

Kang Ra-Hyuk answered as he scratched his head in embarrassment, “I told her that I can’t give her a proper answer yet.”

In other words...

“You put it off?” Kang Ra-Eun asked.

“Yeah, basically.”

Ra-Eun gave her older brother a glare and expressed, “That’s the worst choice you could’ve made.”

Whether it be acceptance or refusal, Ra-Eun was a firm believer of making clear-cut decisions. However, Ra-Hyuk had not been able to do that.

“What don’t you like about Yi-Seo?”

“I don’t dislike her. Rather, she’s so amazing that she’d be wasted on me.”

“Then why did you give her a half-assed answer like that?”

“Well...”

Ra-Eun couldn’t understand why Ra-Hyuk did not accept Seo Yi-Seo’s confession despite having such a positive opinion of her. If she had been in Ra-Hyuk’s shoes, she would have said yes in a heartbeat; that was how great of a friend and girlfriend material Yi-Seo was. Hence, Ra-Eun was severely disappointed in Ra-Hyuk.

Ra-Hyuk smiled lifelessly. “Because I don’t think it was the right time to give her my answer. I’ll tell you why I gave her such an answer when the time comes.”

He had put off yet another answer. Ra-Eun sighed massively.

Yi-Seo smiled at Ra-Eun as soon as Ra-Eun came home. Despite not getting the answer that she had wanted, her expression was so bright that her past gloomy expression was nowhere in sight.

“Thanks, Ra-Eun. I was able to find out how Ra-Hyuk oppa truly felt thanks to you.”

There was something that Ra-Eun was dying to ask Yi-Seo.

“What did that guy say to you? He didn’t refuse or accept your confession, right?”

“Yeah. We talked a lot, so it’s a bit difficult to summarize in just a few sentences.”

“That’s okay. I have all the time in the world today.”

Seo Yi-Jun prepared to take a seat because he also wanted to know what was going on, but Yi-Seo stopped him before he could.

“You go somewhere else.”

“Me? Why? Can’t I listen too?”

“I’ll tell you next time, so go to your room.”

Yi-Jun tried to resist to the bitter end despite his older sister’s refusal, but...

“Do as Yi-Seo says,” Ra-Eun ordered.

Yi-Jun had no choice but to leave as Yi-Seo said with just a word from Ra-Eun. Ra-Eun kept silent until Yi-Jun went into his room.

“Does it have something to do with Yi-Jun?” she asked.

“To be exact, it has more to do with you than him,” Yi-Seo replied.

“Me?”

Ra-Eun was surprised to hear that she herself was deeply rooted in the relationship between Yi-Seo and Ra-Hyuk. Although she was the one who had created the chance for the confession, she had been involved in their decision far more than she had expected.

Turning back time to when Ra-Hyuk and Yi-Seo were alone together, Ra-Hyuk was shocked at first to hear Yi-Seo’s surprise confession.
