HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Side Story Chapter 2- What If (2)

Je-Woon, who was having lunch with Ji Han-Seok after two years, stared fixedly at him.

Han-Seok asked in confusion, “What? Is there a grain of rice stuck on my face?”

“No, you don’t look to be in the best of moods today, so I was wondering if something happened in the shoot.”

Han-Seok had been in a film shoot from early in the morning until just now, so Je-Woon was wondering if Han-Seok was just tired from overwork.

“No, it’s…” Han-Seok slurred. He had a different reason. “...Because of my dream.”

“Dream? Did you have a nightmare?”

Han-Seok shook his head as Je-Woon asked the same question as Kang Ra-Eun had.

“Ra-Eun appeared in my dream.”

“Ra-Eun? Then it’s not a nightmare, is it?”

Ra-Eun appearing in a dream would automatically be a happy one.

“So, what did you do with Ra-Eun in the dream? Did you dream about dating her?” Je-Woon asked.frёewebηovel.cѳm

“Beyond that.”

“Married?”

“Not that far. We were engaged.”

Je-Woon’s eyes were filled with envy.

“How nice. I want to have a dream where I match with Ra-Eun too.”

“You haven’t had a dream like that even once?” Han-Seok asked.

“I’ve been so busy with my international schedule that I haven’t even had the leeway to dream.”

“You sure have it hard.”

“It can’t be helped. Besides, I chose this occupation because I like it.”

Hence, Je-Woon rarely got stressed due to work. The same went for Han-Seok.

“Did you talk about your dream with Ra-Eun? I heard you two had a radio show recording this morning.”

“Not in detail. You know Ra-Eun doesn’t like to hear stuff like that.”

“I guess that’s true.”

Ra-Eun had become a lot more open-minded to romance compared to before, but it seemed like she still needed some time.

“You still like Ra-Eun, right?” Je-Woon asked.

Han-Seok expressed embarrassment. He looked around to see if anyone was listening, and then nodded.

“Yeah.”

Even if he was asked dozens, even hundreds of times, Han-Seok was confident that he would give the same answer. His feelings for her had only become more certain over time. Je-Woon also knew this very well; although they were friends, they loved the same person.

Despite that, they were as great of friends as ever. If Ra-Eun chose one of the two of them, they had already decided that the person who was not chosen would move on from their feelings. Of course, they knew how difficult that would be, but they did not want to lose both the person they loved and their friend.

“Ra-Eun might choose someone other than us, though.”

“I think I’d be a bit mad if that were to happen.”

Han-Seok laughed out loud at Je-Woon’s honesty.

Although Je-Woon had returned to Korea after a long time, he did not just lounge around at home. Korea had been the place that he had debuted as a singer and had given him the momentum to spread out globally. He couldn’t afford to neglect his Korean fans just because he had become a global star, so he had decided to participate in some Korean programs with the other Bex members.
