The Pretty Girl Next to Me Asks Strange Questions Every Day

33 – Is something big enough to call you?

“I’m tired… ….”

He sighed as he spat out a grumbling to himself.

In front of the desk in my room. I sit in a chair and reflect on today’s work with my arms and legs hanging down.

It was a very tiring day. Vacation ceremony and first official date. I was physically exhausted from walking around. However, the mind was more tired than the body.

Se-ra Han. The same class in elementary school, my first love and the kid who dumped me.

I happened to run into that kid while on a date, and thanks to that, the atmosphere got weird. Ina also called at the same timing as Sera, causing a great misunderstanding.

And according to Sera’s claim…… Sera and I seemed to have made a promise.

‘After you confessed to me. I said it clearly.’

‘Let’s meet and date when we grow up later.’

Thinking about it again, I can’t remember at all. Did we really make that promise?

It was so complicated in my head that I couldn’t organize my thoughts.

I wish I could hear someone’s opinion. Not only did I have no one to whom I could confide in my dating history, but Ina’s relationship with me was a secret.

If I had to ask, it was about my older sister. However, it was obvious that it would be like feeding a teasing instead of proper counseling.

No, no. Come to think of it, there was one suitable counselor.

A person who can give an opinion about my love story, and someone who has already figured out the relationship between me and Ina.

That’s Zia.

I pick up my cell phone from the desk and look for the number. I tried to find the number and press the call button, but I stopped my finger.

Because it’s late, he may already be sleeping. It would be better to contact us via KakaoTalk first rather than by phone.

I found a name and wrote a message.

[Are you sleeping?]

It must have been about 30 seconds. A reply has arrived.

[Yes.]

[I don’t sleep.]

[I was sleeping until just now, but you woke me up.]

[Sorry.]

[Yes. Then sleep well.]

[Can’t I just do one more thing I’m sorry for?]

[What is it?]

Okay, let’s assume you agreed.

After displaying Jia’s number again, I pressed the call button. There was a short connection sound, and then the call came through.

“Hello?”

Jia’s voice on the other side was quiet. It seems she was not joking when she said she was asleep.

“Hello. Can I call you?”

“You already did it.”

“Sorry to wake you up.”

“Okay. I woke up after seeing your name.”

Woke up when you saw my name? What do you mean?

“What do you mean?”

“…… Uh, oh, no.”

A flustered voice came from the other side of the phone. It’s not like Jia’s reaction. It was even a little fresh.

“I woke up and said nonsense. Forget.”

“Is that bullsh*t?”

“Yes.”

Yes, but what can I do?

“So? Why did you contact me?”

Jia asked as if tossing it.

“If you even make a phone call, did something big happen?”

“Um, well, that’s it.”

“You finally broke up.”

“We didn’t break up.”

What kind of bad words are you talking about? Besides, what is the end? She’s been dating less than a week.

“Then what is it?”

“It’s a bit long to talk about.”

“Tell me.”

Jia followed her back without even bothering her. If she was the same as usual, she would have been annoying and she would have refused. Could this be because I didn’t sleep enough?

Anyway, he explained what happened today.

I went on a date with Inna, and she met Sera on the way, and Sera said this. It was a bit of an unorganized explanation, but it was understandable.

After hearing her explanation, Jia snorted at her.

“Your life is also spectacular.”

“Thank you for the good impression.”

“It’s like a love comedy novel.”

“It sounds like a thriller horror movie to me.”

Still, it never felt bad when someone told me they liked me. To think that a child like Sera had such feelings for me, if Ina hadn’t been there, she might have easily given her heart.

But I’m dating Ina. It wasn’t that long either. It was a difficult situation in many ways.

“So what do you think?”

“Well, well.”

Jia unexpectedly seemed to be thinking seriously.

“People say three times when they are popular, did you know?”

“Is there anything like that?”

“It is a myth that originated in Japan. Call it ‘Moteki’. There are only three times in life when you are popular with the opposite s*x. Haven’t you heard?”

Never heard of it. Besides, it doesn’t seem like an expression you would normally hear.

“So what do you mean?”

“In other words.”

When asked for a conclusion, Jia answered in a serious tone.

“That Sera is the third child, so now if something goes wrong, you will have to live alone for the rest of your life.”

“…… Are you mad at me for waking you up?”

“If the saying about being popular three times in your life is true, wouldn’t you be right in thinking you wouldn’t get a chance after that?”

Okay. Some people change their dating partners over and over again. Maybe that myth was wrong in the first place.

“No, even three times in a lifetime. If one is Inago and one is Sera, isn’t there still one left?”

“…… Ah, uh, uh.”

An even more flustered voice returned from the other side. Jia, who had let out an unknown sound, soon let out a trembling sigh.

“I keep saying things because I wake up. Forget it.”

“No, tell me. What is the third?”

“Forget it.”

“Yup. All right.”

She immediately lowered her tail at the sound of her shrill voice. It’s my loss if Jia gets angry and hangs up on her. Because there is no one to ask for opinions anymore.

“Anyway, to tell you what I think, well, I don’t think anything will happen.”

“Really?”

“You are single-minded, aren’t you? It’s not like Ina is disappointed in you with this incident. Wouldn’t that make the relationship even stronger? Why, as the saying goes, the ground hardens after it rains.”

“Mmm. Is that so?”

“Originally, love needs spice. Otherwise, you will get bored easily.”

It sounds more plausible than you think. I admired it in my heart.

“Besides, in this case.”

“Yes.”

“Because the main heroine of Volume 1 has a high chance of winning in the end.”

“…… Volume 1?”

“Yes. Being connected to the heroine on the cover of Volume 1 is the ending of most love comedies.”

“… ….”

I hate myself for admiring it.

“Anyway, you mean you don’t remember making a promise to that child?”

“Yes. At all.”

“Isn’t that a lie?”

“No. If it was a lie, I would have honestly apologized and walked away.”

“Then Sera must be lying.”

“No, isn’t there any reason for him to even lie?”

“There is a reason.”

Jia continued her words as if it was natural.

“Because a child like me is dating you. If I take you away, it’s like proving that I’m one step above Ina. That’s why they’re trying to steal you.”

“Ugh, hmm.”

“Of course, just one example.”

It is a scary imagination. I’ve never thought of it that way.

But that’s okay. I thought that Sarah wouldn’t be that bad-tempered. He’s not the kind of guy who would do something like today with a bad heart. It seemed so in the past and now.

“You will have to find out why.”

Jia said as if to organize.

“To ask directly at the right time. Well, I don’t think it’s a lie.”

It’s probably more of a misunderstanding than a lie.

“Then the last thing…… The point is that he is transferring to our school.”

Jia let go of her luck and said, “Umm.” She agonized for a while.

“You have no choice but to deal with this as well.”

“Yes. I don’t know what he’ll do.”

“If you need help, I’ll help you a little.”

“Really?”

When I asked again, Jia let out her yawn and answered.

“Yes. Just watching from the side seems like it would be dangerous. I think it would be more comfortable for me to intervene.”

“Well, thank you for that.”

You can’t even see it, but she bowed her head in gratitude.

“Now, that’s all I can say.”

“Yes. Thanks. Sorry for waking you up.”

“It’s okay. I heard an interesting love comedy story in its own way.”

“It’s a tragedy when you look at it up close.”

“Well, I’m not very far away either.”

Huh?

“What do you mean?”

“Then let’s sleep. Sleep well too.”

“Uh, yes. Okay. Good night.”

Jia hung up the phone without even explaining her last words. Well, she probably won’t have much to worry about.

But after hearing Jia’s story, she felt much more at ease. The fact that she shares my troubles with someone makes her shoulders lighter.

I guess I need to sleep too. I was about to lay down in bed with that in mind, but a KakaoTalk message arrived.

The owner of the message was Ina.

…… Could it be the same pattern as before?

I was worried about that, but it was unfounded. The content of the message was different from before.
