The Law of Webnovels Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Chapter 401

.

During the whole ti I was talking, Yeo Dan oppa listened to my story, sotis placing his chin on my shoulder, sotis patting on the back. He only released just once from his arms when soone ca out from the end of the hallway. Once the man walked past us and disappeared around the corner, Yeo Dan oppa stretched out his arms and hugged again. Resting in his arms that way, I confessed everything about the day, March 2nd, 2009, when the entire world had changed for the first ti in my life.

It felt quite strange and new at the sa ti. Talking about this story was never easy to ; however, it felt so calm and okay to bring back this story while cuddling in Yeo Dan oppa’s arms as if I was chitchatting about yesterday’s dinner nu. Now I seed to understand why doctors in foreign TV dramas made their patients lie down on a chaise lounge and proceed with the psychotherapy session.

Having finished my long confession, I raised my head and observed the look on Yeo Dan oppa’s face. He always had been, of course, trusting most of my words, but that didn’t an that he would even believe such nonsensical things like moving into another universe.

Yeo Dan always showed a poker face, so I had no idea what he had in mind. ‘What should I do...?’ I wondered while putting pressure on my arms around him. It was too early to make a hasty conclusion, but anxious thoughts kept haunting .

Confessing this story to Yeo Dan oppa was sohow riskier than doing the sa thing to Ban Yeo Ryung and the Four Heavenly Kings. Oppa and I had been living next-doors almost since kindergarten; our parents were also close. If Yeo Dan oppa told this story to his parents just in case, they would deliver it to my parents. All the adults would trust his words, and I might have to be forcibly taken to a psychiatrist for treatnt in the worst scenario.

Besides, another thing was even more driving nuts. Honestly, I also wasn’t confident about whether or not I was really having a ntal problem.

Thinking to that extent, I closed my eyes firmly. What if those things happened? Was it useless to tell him about it then? My heart pounded crazily under my ribs as if I had screwed up a critical thing. My blood running rapidly inside my body whispered, ‘You still have ti to tell him that it was a joke. It isn’t late yet. If I speak that way, he would trust .’

‘But no... no...’ I said to myself. Instead of being enticed, I strengthened my grip holding his back. I continued speaking in my thoughts, ‘Think about the promise and the mindset I had to confess this story to him...’

At that mont, Yeo Dan oppa’s voice reached my ears.

“Then...”

“Huh?” I asked and quickly lifted my head. Yeo Dan oppa was still looking at with an illegible glance.

“Why did you decide to go out with ?” he replied.

I bit my lips again. I had no idea what he was implying in that question. Was he interrogating or just being curious? Whatever he was seeking though, I had no place to step back.

I replied ekly, “Because I... like you so much.”

“...”

I swallowed my words that were left unspoken to him. It was, of course, true that I sincerely liked Yeo Dan oppa so much. Even myself, who had been living in this world before the dinsion shifting took place, would have also had a big crush on him. However, these were the only words that I couldn’t tell him at all.

Confessing this truth to him ant that I also had to tell Yeo Ryung about this. No matter how close Yeo Ryung had been thinking about , I had no mories about her when we were young. The person she had been knowing back then was utterly different from the person I was now. I wasn’t confident enough to deal with the aftermath. How ssed up I had been while I grew apart with Yoo Chun Young and Eun Jiho for a short ti?

I looked up and found Yeo Dan oppa’s black eyes trembling in the darkness. It seed to suffocate again.

‘What should I do? Should I really say now that it was actually a joke?’ I wondered since I didn’t want to lose Yeo Dan oppa from this thing. That was when I tried to break the ice while opening and closing my sweaty hand.

“Having a relationship with is...” he uttered.

I listened to his words while holding my breath.

He continued, “... It’s a more difficult thing to you than I’ve thought.”

Once I heard those words, I realized that Yeo Dan oppa wasn’t getting angry at nor did he try to interrogate .

He spoke again, “Thanks,” then sank his head on his chest. I put my face close to his face.

“Thanks... for liking ,” he said.

“Oppa?”

He whispered, “I thought that I never made you anxious.”

I nodded at his remark. As far as I knew, Yeo Dan oppa had been very faithful to . I even thought that not even a male main character in a TV drama could treat his girlfriend like him.

At that mont, Yeo Dan oppa cast down his eyes again. He said, “And so the reason why you looked strange these days wasn’t because of ...”

Yikes, I flinched at his words while thinking, ‘He was indeed aware of that...’ Shortly after, I replied, “It wasn’t because of you.”

Then I smiled and tried to bring out the words I had in mind. ‘Of course, it’s not because of you. If I shift my responsibility that way, I’ll be attacked by your nationwide fans.’

However, at that mont, Yeo Dan oppa abruptly raised his head. His black eyes had stiffened even more than I thought. I wasn’t able to move at that sight.

Holding my shoulders, Yeo Dan oppa uttered, “It’s because of . Because I can forget you.”

“Uh, I an, that is...”

That was true... it was, but Yeo Dan oppa couldn’t do anything with this incomprehensible situation. The mont I tried to open my mouth, he continued speaking again. His words then made my mouth shut.

“You were afraid of being well without you.”

“...”

“I didn’t know that having a relationship with could more agitate you.”

Speaking that way, Yeo Dan oppa scowled at the floor with feelings of frustration in his eyes. I just stared at him at a loss of words.

I dwelled on what he just said. ‘You were afraid of being well without you.’ It sounded very dramatic like the lines in a soap opera; however, that seed to be the most appropriate expression to describe my feelings at the sa ti.

Yeo Dan oppa’s remark hit the nail on the head. Lucas once asked this question.

‘Then, what if soone pops out and confesses that she has a crush on him? Won’t you be jealous?’

I tilted my head in wonder for a mont then responded without a second thought at that ti.

‘Hmm... I think that’s understandable. He’s like everyone’s sweetheart, you know?’

Let correct this. To be honest, I was a little afraid.

While I was beside Yeo Dan oppa, those things didn’t scare . He was a person who couldn’t deceive others at all. If he got to like so else, I knew that he would be straight forward to about it.

However, what if that thing occurred while I wasn’t staying beside him? What if it was even in a situation where he couldn’t even rember ?

In the end, the question led to one thing––Was Yeo Dan oppa really serious about , or was I staying beside him just at the right timing? If I didn’t live next-door and know him from a long ti ago, would Yeo Dan oppa still have as his girlfriend?

In fact, no one could answer this question. That was why I couldn’t guarantee that no one would be around him while I vanished away with another change happening in this world again. Ever since I began dating him, I actually had been working myself up to that sudden situation.

Thinking to that extent, I lifted my head. Yeo Dan oppa was still staring at . I shrugged and laughed.

I uttered, “If that happens and you really live happily after without , that isn’t your fault, oppa.”

“That won’t happen,” he denied imdiately. Since he wasn’t a person used to offering lip service, his response was from the bottom of his heart. However, I didn’t say anything.

Honestly, I knew it very well that this was sothing beyond his will. Jooin, the most genius I had ever known in my life, would have also forgotten if he wasn’t sending a text back then when I was gone. Thus, I didn’t want to look forward to sothing impossible. I changed the subject, therefore.

“Oppa, the reason why I’ve confessed this story to you isn’t that I’m asking you to forget not or sothing like that. Although you would like to try, I know that it’s impossible.”

“Then?” he tossed a question. It sounded urgent, unlike his usual character.
