Will We Stay Friends Forever? — Chapter 24

DID LEE DO-YOUNG CONFESS OR SOMETHING?

...WHAT?

DID LEE DO-YOUNG SAY THAT?

I KNOW YOU PRETTY WELL.

I KNOW YOU LIKE LEE DO-YOUNG, TOO.

...DID YOU HIRE A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR OR SOMEONE?

THAT'S JUST HOW GOOD MY CONNECTIONS ARE~

Ugh, so creepy.

DON'T PUSH HIM AWAY TOO MUCH.

KEEP THAT UP AND HE'LL RUN OFF.

YOU GUYS HAVE PRETTY MUCH CROSSED A POINT OF NO RETURN.

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN GO BACK TO BEING FRIENDS AFTER THIS?

NOT A CHANCE.

STOP STIRRING THE POT!

Just bring out more drinks. Wrap it up and go home already.

WHAT ON EARTH IS SO GREAT ABOUT LEE DO-YOUNG ANYWAY?

IT SURE AS HELL ISN'T HIS FACE.

Anyone can see I'm way better-looking.

(I'm so pissed...)

Ugh...

I DON'T KNOW... I'VE NEVER...

REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

WALKING THE TRAIL AT NIGHT FEELS KIND OF EERIE...

ARE YOU ALRIGHT? SHOULD WE TURN BACK?

AH, NO... I'M FINE.

PEOPLE FROM THE OFFICE MIGHT SEE US, AFTER ALL...

MORE IMPORTANTLY... WAS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT...?

...I'M SORRY.

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY SHOCKED... THAT DAY.

I FIGURED IT OUT AT THE MOVIE THEATER.

THAT THE TWO OF YOU KNEW EACH OTHER.

I NEVER WOULD'VE IMAGINED... THAT YOU'D KNOW LEE JU-YOUNG.

LEE JU-YOUNG...

YOU EVEN KNEW ABOUT... SOME PARTS THAT ARE KIND OF AWKWARD TO TALK ABOUT.

I HID IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU'D FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IF YOU FOUND OUT THAT PERSON WAS ME.

IT ENDED UP TURNING OUT LIKE THIS, THOUGH...

SINCE WE WORK TOGETHER...

I WANTED TO CLEAR THE AIR BEFORE MOVING ON...

...DID JU-YOUNG UNNIE...

...TALK TO YOU ABOUT ME?

NO, NOT AT ALL...

AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, AH-YOUNG, SHE'S KIND OF A UNIQUE PERSON.

SHE HARDLY EVER TALKS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE TO BEGIN WITH.

DO YOU LIKE JU-YOUNG UNNIE?

...YES, FOR A VERY LONG TIME...

...DOES JU-YOUNG UNNIE KNOW?

SHE DOES. PROBABLY FOR A LONG TIME, TOO.

...PARDON?

ARE YOU REALLY OKAY WITH THAT?

I'M–

YOU'RE NOT OKAY AT ALL!

YOU'VE BEEN SUFFERING!

I JUST...!

I COULDN'T BEAR TO WATCH YOU SUFFER LIKE THAT!

THAT'S WHY...

THAT'S WHY...

I GUESS IT WAS WAY TOO OBVIOUS ON MY FACE...

IT'S NOT ENTIRELY LEE JU-YOUNG'S FAULT.

SURE, WE'VE HAD SOME TROUBLE WITH THAT RELATIONSHIP LATELY,

BUT I'M NO SAINT EITHER.

PATHETICALLY ENOUGH...

I CAN'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING, AH-YOUNG,

BUT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BETWEEN US THAT WE'D BEEN PUSHING ASIDE FOR A LONG TIME,

AND NOT BRINGING IT UP TO EACH OTHER WAS KIND OF LIKE AN UNWRITTEN RULE BETWEEN US.

MAYBE I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT, THOUGH...

BUT I'M SURE JU-YOUNG UNNIE LIKES YOU TOO...!

THAT'S RIGHT, SHE LIKES ME.

..Huh?

T-THEN WHAT'S THE PROBELM...?

YOU TWO SHOULD JUST DATE...

AH, THIS IS... HOW SHOULD I PUT THIS...

THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF PERSON LEE JU-YOUNG IS.

IF YOU ASKED HER TO LIST HER PRIORITIES IN LIFE,

ROMANCE WOULD BE SENT STRAIGHT TO THE VERY BOTTOM.

I... I DON'T REALLY GET IT.

THAT'S TOTALLY FINE. I DON'T FULLY GET IT MYSELF, EITHER.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT HER THAT YOU LIKE SO MUCH?

WELL... IT'S HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS...

BUT IF I HAD TO NAME JUST ONE THING...

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE WHEN I'M WITH HER, I CAN TRULY BE MYSELF...

IT'S JUST THAT...

I WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU, WAS I?

I'M SORRY...

THANK YOU FOR CARING.

OH, MY HEAD...

WHY DID I DRINK SO MUCH...?

WHAT'S THIS?
