128. sad heart

“Karite. this means… … .”

snap!

Karite held the hand of the nature that was talking, but she couldn’t go any further.

“…”

When I stopped talking while looking at the hand that held the nature, Karite also instantly froze.

When the eyes of the two met awkwardly, Karite carefully let go of her hand and smiled awkwardly.

“Agar Castle. Hey, I… I’m your friend now. It’s unreasonable for me to act on you like Glesia did just now, but I want to be as helpful as I am… .”

As if to cover up his sudden action, Karite’s cheeks blushed, and Chun-seong nodded awkwardly.

…And the nature felt it again from Karite’s appearance.

That Karite, who is ashamed and embarrassed in front of herself right now, is the reaction of an extremely ordinary woman.

On the contrary, it’s even more strange like Glesia, who suddenly holds hands or hugs just because she’s a friend.

“Just saying that, Karite. I am very grateful.”

When Chun-seong replied softly, Karite nodded with a reddened face.

“…yes.”

When she lowered her head completely and avoided Chun-seong’s gaze, Chun-seong looked at Glesia on the contrary.

And he just conveyed his meaning with his eyes.

Looking at Karite like this, Glessia naturally met her gaze and narrowed her eyes.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

On the contrary, when he replied as if he didn’t like Chun-seong’s gaze, Chun-seong smiled and shook his head.

“It’s just nothing. I wonder if you can feel something when you see Karite… I think Karite’s behavior is right if it’s a good friendship.”

As the nature quietly changed its words and expressed its meaning, Glesia blinked a few times before suddenly opening her mouth.

“Agar Castle.”

“…uh.”

And at the cold voice of Glesia, her nature rather stopped.

“Do you think I hugged you suddenly?”

Then, when he threw a perfect stone fastball, Chunseong blinked his eyes, forgetting what to say for a moment.

Glessia’s straightforward way of speaking was surprising every moment, even for Cheonseong, who had spent quite a bit of time with her.

And if even the heavens were so surprised. For those watching them, it was no different from a statement that was even more shocking.

“no… .”

“Cadets these days are really unstoppable.”

It was a series of surprises for Karite and Adelia, who opened their mouths blankly.

Belatedly, Chun-seong, conscious of the two people’s gazes, opened his mouth very carefully.

“Hey, Glesia over there. I’m sure you hugged me in a good way. I’m sure I’m grateful for that kind of action. I don’t want to say that your actions are wrong.”

“…then why the hell did you just tell me that?”

Hearing Glesia’s voice, as if feeling a bit sad, Chunseong hesitated for a moment.

There are so many words that can be answered.

Is it strange that friends act like that, or that friendships between members of the opposite sex need to be careful about their behavior, etc… .

Other than that, words really came to mind, but the nature focused on Glesia’s look at him.

‘Even the words from a moment ago reflect such sadness.’

He instinctively sensed that if he delivered the words directly like Glesia did, Glesia would be greatly disappointed.

So, while thinking of what to say so that Glesia could accept it a little better, Chuncheon spoke slowly.

“Glesia. You and I… first of all, we’re a man and a woman before we’re friends, right?”

He spoke in a way that anyone could understand.

“right. How is that?”

“Then, there are obviously many relationships among friends, right? The most common friendships can be said to be between friends of the same sex. To differentiate it in detail, quite a lot of things are different depending on whether it is a friend between a man and a man or a friend between a woman and a woman. For example, even in the case of trivial pranks, isn’t there a difference between pranks between boys and pranks between girls? Do you understand this?”

Even as she opened her mouth very slowly, as if to explain, she thought inwardly that her words were absurd.

…How many days will I have to explain the concept of a friend in such detail to someone. Glesia was the first to even feel the need to explain in the first place.

Now, it was funny that he was properly explaining the concept of a friend to his friend.

“that’s. I know, I understand the difference between male friends and female friends.”

“right. Glesia knows that too well.”

Chun-seong, who had been answering calmly, almost spit out another word in an instant.

Do you really understand the concept of a friend?

However, Chun-seong, who thought that Glesia might feel ashamed because there were other people with her now, cautiously changed her words.

“Then, I think that friendships between members of the opposite sex, like us now, are different from ordinary friendships. The words and actions that each other should take. Of course, looking at the big picture, being friends is the same, but I wonder if I should be a little careful about my actions. Again, I don’t think Glesia’s behavior is bad. It’s just that the eyes of the people around us might look at us strangely.”

When the nature explained the situation in detail in a really euphemistic way, Glessia closed her lips and did not reply.

“…”

And with subtle eyes, he captured the nature in his eyes.

Through a series of conversations, the other two were able to understand their relationship a little.

ㅡ friend.

It’s a friendship between two people who are still not good at each other.

Karite let out a sigh of relief that they weren’t as close together as she thought, and Adelia smiled faintly at the sight of the two.

It was a bright smile as if the cadets exchanging such words were cute.

“Agar Castle. I think I can understand… to some extent.”

When Glesia spoke out after thinking, Chunseong smiled brightly.

“yes? I’m really glad then. Thank you so much for taking my word for it.”

It was a relieved smile that there would be no more embarrassing situations like the one before, but that smile didn’t last long.

Glesia, who looked at the nature, immediately continued with a strange voice.

“By the way, Han Chun-seong. You obviously said you were okay with me.”

“…uh?”

When Chun-seong asked in a daze at the unexpected words, the two people who were watching the conversation were also momentarily surprised.

…I thought that if Glesia understood, she would accept it as it was, but Glesia’s attitude, which continued, didn’t feel that way at all.

It seemed as if he had something else to say. And at the gaze of the two, Glesia sighed lightly, which was rare.

“ha… .”

In an unexpected sigh, Chun-seong inadvertently swallowed his saliva.

Compared to what I thought was clearly the right words and a good response, I felt that the situation was going more strangely.

And again. A strange alarm bell was ringing in the heart of Cheonseong.

Something, I don’t know, but something is going terribly wrong.

A strange sense of crisis was felt in the conversation that I thought would end after ending the conversation in a good way.

Unlike before, Cheonseong spoke urgently.

“Wait a minute! Glesia.”

“…why.”

When Glesia answered with a cold expression, no matter who saw it, Cheonseong immediately stood up.

“Why don’t we go out and talk for a while? I think it would be embarrassing for me to have a private conversation like this in the presence of other people, as well as you.”

When he said it, obviously conscious of Karite and Adelia, Glesia slightly blurred her eyes and then nodded.

“yes. I think that’s right too.”

When the two of them agreed on a rare occasion, the nature quickly looked at the two.

“Instructor Adelia, wait a minute, I will talk to Glesia and come back.”

“We can just talk inside.”

Adelia boldly insisted on the conversation, but Nature smiled awkwardly and shook her head.

“It’s just a conversation right at the door. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“What… yes. then.”

When she reluctantly nodded, Chun immediately looked at Karite.

“Agar Castle. I’ll wait inside too.”

“…thanks. Karite.”

At the end of her natural answer, Glesia calmly moved on.

again.

that buck… .

As soon as the nature that followed him left the infirmary, he immediately closed the door.

Seruk!

As the two faced each other in front of the door with the door closed, Chunseong looked at Glesia with an uneasy gaze.

“Glesia. What the hell did you mean when I said I was fine?”

“What do you mean? That’s what it means.”

After hearing the words of nature, Glesia put on a colder expression.

He calmed his indifferent eyes more coldly, and even twisted his gaze strangely, as if he didn’t like the appearance of his nature asking himself more.

Chun-seong, who clearly sensed such a disquieting expression, had no choice but to ask more carefully.

“…Maybe Glesia. Did I miss something?”

“No, it’s not really a mistake.”

Hearing Glesia’s attitude, who replied that he was sulking, Cheon-seong briefly looked back on the past, but nothing immediately came to mind.

But an even bigger alarm was ringing in his chest.

Clearly, Glesia had a reason for doing this. I knew that, but it felt like nature didn’t know why.

“Glesia, I’m really sorry… but could you tell me directly? As for why I said it was okay.”

In response to a direct question, Glessia glanced at her nature and nodded as if she couldn’t help it.

“yes. But you… you really don’t remember.”

When I conveyed the words as if I was sad, all of those words sounded mysterious to Cheonseong.

‘What the hell… ?’

What had she said, why did Glesia show such a peculiar attitude?

The more I looked at Glesia, the more confused I felt.

And facing such a nature, Glesia slowly pursed her lips.

“…don’t do that to anyone else.”

“yes…?”

Despite her natural appearance as if she was taken aback by the unexpected words, Glesia continued without hesitation.

“It’s okay if you do this to me. But I don’t want to do this to anyone else.”

Chuncheon, who had been listening to her words, was startled for a moment. Unlike Glesia’s cold voice, the words themselves were strangely familiar.

Even so, let’s make a subtle expression that seems to remind him. Glessia, whose expression became more cold, continued.

“Because I can accept you, but other people don’t.”

And as soon as I spit out all the words, the nature realized without my knowledge.

…What are the series of words Glesia has just uttered? It was something he couldn’t understand.

That’s Han Chunseong. Because that was what he said.

That was what he said while looking at Glesia.

And Glesia, as if she remembered all of those words now, recited them to Cheonseong without a single mistake.

Glessia spoke with a small breath at the appearance of Cheonseong with a blank expression.

“Agar Castle. Do you understand now?”

“…uh. Okay.”

When the nature answered awkwardly, Glessia stared at the nature.

“I remember everything you said to me. The words you said were okay. Even when I told you that I could act like that only to you.”

For a moment, Chun did not give any answer.

“That’s why I… acted like that to you.”

Took.

Glesia’s voice was filled with sadness as she uttered another word.
