When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 33 True Colour

"Do you... like Hong In-ah?"

- A question that is more childish than I thought.

Her cheeks were burning because her heart was being touched.

- I don't like her, but I just can't let it go. 

He answered quickly, but it was still vague.

She knew that he never paid attention to women, even when he was a teenager with strong sexual desire.

However, there was always an atmosphere between Baek Sa-eon and her sister that could not be described in words. At that time, Hee-joo thought it was the affection of the opposite sex and the throbbing of a future partner.

But... what if it was not that.

Where did the occasional nervousness of her sister come from? 

What if it was not the first love of a 16-year-old girl...?

In her contemplation, he spoke.

- Did Hee-joo know that she avoided people? 

"What?"

- During the relationship, there was never any real communication, which means that Hee-joo also avoided 406. 

"......."

- Willing to play around casually, but that is to say, he is not someone who is urgent or important enough to talk to him. 

"Then does Hong Hee-joo talk to you?"

-.......

"It's my turn, isn't it?"

Hee-joo quickly dismissed him and then asked:

"What did you say to Hong In-ah the last time?"

She thought she was a little stubborn, but she had been caught between Baek Sa-eon and her sister since she was a child, and she had always kept a secret in her heart, so she wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

Neither of them would tell private matters to children.

At that time, he paused as if he was recalling something, and then said: "The last words..." 

His voice was calm without any ups and downs.

-I was the one who proposed the marriage. 

"......!"

Hee-joo felt a buzzing in one ear.

The more she get to know him, the more she feels like she’s trapped in a maze.

"Does my brother not even drink water...?"

Is he an elf...?

Every weekend, she would be dragged to social gatherings with children.

Three times a week, the cold neighbor brother who is a tutor. He always stands out among his peers with acne on his face.

But elementary school students and 18-year-old boys have almost no chance to play together. There is a gap between the two that is deeper than the Han River.

So, Hee Joo was always dragged by her sister, but she would still secretly glance at the boy who was taller than others.

Once, she accidentally discovered the boy's habit. He always held a plate of finger food, but never ate it.

When people around him started chatting and enjoying the food, he would quietly put down the plate or change to a new one.

But the food was never eaten. This behavior was really puzzling.
