Chapter 553: Chapter 553
.
As if he had no idea about my agony, Yoo Chun Young ca close nonchalantly and took a seat across the table.
“How was the trip?” he asked.
“Oh, the trip...”
That was when I recalled that it was just earlier this afternoon that we returned from the short trip.
No one seed to have told Yoo Chun Young about our ssed-up getaway. I thought Eun Hyung would have, of course, spoke about the happening when he went back ho, but to think of it, Yoo Chun Young was outside shooting the TV drama during the whole day. Thus, he would have not t Eun Hyung yet.
Yoo Chun Young then said, “I wanted to go there too.”
I stared at his face. The shadow of his lashes was gently swaying on his white cheek under the cafe’s warm, orange light. Considering his personality, Yoo Chun Young wasn’t giving lip service to .
Rolling my eyes, I replied, “You also enjoyed traveling with us?”
He looked at as if I was saying sothing absurd. In my eyes, he seed to be just acting considerate toward Yeo Ryung and Jooin who liked to hang around.
Yoo Chun Young always looked bored and less motivated. When it was our day out, he almost dragged himself out of bed to see us and just dozed off on the train.
I once wondered about telling him that it was fine to just stay ho if he felt exhausted, but when thinking about Yoo Chun Young not going with us, that seed to linger in my mind as well, so I just ignored his feelings and called him out for a day out. That’s why asking him to join our trip always made feel a little guilty.
Yoo Chun Young replied, “I think I find pleasure in it.”
“Really? You were always being silent when we’re planning for a trip.”
He responded composedly, “Because it’s fine whatever you guys planned to do. I stayed quiet because I had no objections.”
Feeling baffled, I uttered, “Still, we didn’t really stick to our plans, always letting things happen and going this way and that. We always end up doing nothing so particular.”
“That’s what we always do.”
Well, if he says so, what can I respond to? Above all, what he just said was true. He indeed hit the nail on the head.
While my mind shortly went blank, Yoo Chun Young smiled again––the coin magic-like grin he revealed earlier in the street. It lasted on his face for a while.
I blinked swiftly as if I were watching an illusion.
“When did you begin to smile that often?” I asked.
That was when Yoo Chun Young removed that soft and bright look from his face, wiping out his cheek.
“Do I?”
“Uh-huh,” I replied.
“The director told to do it more.”
A-ha, so he was practicing it for his acting. Indeed, Yoo Chun Young needed to beco smiley unless he was playing an utterly charismatic role.
Then even if he didn’t feel excited at all, Yoo Chun Young would flaunt a smile if the script or the director ordered him to express a brighter character. With that thought in my mind, I rested my chin on my palm.
In fact, Yoo Chun Young wasn’t such a cold guy, unlike his appearance. Back in middle school, he beca friends with most of the boys in our class as we were reaching the end of our senior year.
To other kids, he seed to have beco a little brother type of person, more than Jooin. Well, maybe because Yoo Chun Young never revealed or gave anyone hard feelings or sothing negative.
If that Yoo Chun Young began to show more smiles, the actors and staff on the set would probably start noticing that he was warmhearted than he looked. If that was true, I could understand why the guy and girl were almost sticking with him earlier. Yoo Chun Young was definitely soone whom people desired to be around for a long ti.
However, aside from that, I felt sohow sad and frustrated, watching Yoo Chun Young smiling on the set or being surrounded by many people.
Thinking to that extent, I took a self-observation ti. Was it reasonable to have these feelings as a friend?
Hmm, perhaps we had been monopolizing him for such a long ti. How selfish was I to feel unhappy when Yoo Chun Young was getting along well with other people? I shook my head since I felt like a five-year-old kid.
Ah, a kid... The taphor that ca to my mind without much thought made my heart sink again. The young Donnie, the kid who struggled to escape from the shadow of Ban Yeo Ryung blew my brains out.
“Is sothing wrong?” asked Yoo Chun Young.
His voice brought to myself. That was when I quickly lifted my head and smiled.
“Um, what were we up to?”
“We... have been talking about the trip...” He paused, then asked , “Did sothing happen?”
I hesitated for a second, then nodded my head yes. My first confession was about Ban Yeo Ryung having recovered her mories. At that mont, the drinks we ordered were ready, so Yoo Chun Young went to the counter and picked them up.
While he put the tray down on the table, I was dithering over how to articulate the situation that occurred afterward.
“But we fought again,” I uttered.
Yoo Chun Young tilted his head. “Fought again? Why?”
He would indeed question the weird consequence since our fight was supposed to be resolved once Ban Yeo Ryung’s mories returned.
Heaving a sigh, I got sothing off my chest. “Actually... I also don’t have any mories before thirteen.”
Yoo Chun Young lifted one eyebrow at my confession wordlessly. He seed to have not understood my words.
‘Well, of course, he can’t,’ I said in my thoughts. Sighing again, I explained the rest of the details.
“How can I describe this... Ban Yeo Ryung may have felt that I was blaming her for losing her mories. So, I tried to tell her she was getting wrong by letting her know the truth that I also don’t have any mories before fourteen. Although I’ve lost a part of my mories, there’s no reason for to hate her. Instead, I’m afraid if you don’t like ––that was what I tried to ntion... but right then, for so reason, her mories ca back out of the blue...”
I swept my hair back. The secret of the note would be better left unsaid. I would disclose it neither to Yoo Chun Young nor to the other kids.
I continued, almost grumbling, “Then it went awful you know... Yeo Ryung jumped down my throat, asking why I didn’t tell her and was I trying to keep it a secret forever if she didn’t lose her mories. Honestly, I beca at a loss for words since everything she said was true.”
I observed the look on Yoo Chun Young’s face, being scared of him asking back sothing like ‘Why can’t you say anything to her?’ However, he just stared at serenely as if he was encouraging to continue talking.
I uttered, “So, I returned ho, but Yeo Ryung ca to my house again and said perhaps it’s her fault that I lost my mories of the past. She then apologized, telling the truth. Before my mories were gone, Ban Yeo Ryung and I had a big fight, so that might have affected to wipe out such mories from my mind. She kept talking about the things that happened right before my mories disappeared...”
Yoo Chun Young asked calmly, “Okay, she explained them to you, then...?”
“My lost mories ca back,” I replied, sweeping back my hair again. “But no matter how much I thought, it wasn’t her fault, but it was my parents who beca the cause of my partial mory loss... so...”
Folding my hands, I murmured about myself feeling complicated to see Yeo Ryung’s face, even having a fear of confronting my parents, having left the house thoughtlessly, breaking my phone, and walking along the shortest route to my house, then encountering Yoo Chun Young shooting the drama in the area...
Quietly listening to my words that gradually turned into a narration, Yoo Chun Young suddenly blurted out, “What do you want to do?”
“Huh?”
“The problem between you and your parents.”
With a scream, I lay with my face down on the table. ‘Hey, hold on, please don’t go to the heart of the issue like that,’ I shouted in my thoughts.
I moaned, “If I knew that, I wouldn’t be wandering around this way.”
My phone was broken. I hesitated to return ho and was now chilling with Yoo Chun Young in a cafe even though I was aware that my parents were back from work. These proved that I was trying hard to escape from reality.
