Chapter 273
I am not a returner Episode 273:
Greed and Love (5)
“Uh, sister…?”
Isabella looked up at Ha-eun with a pale, exhausted expression.
Ha-eun’s expression, which was usually as cheerful as a burning fire, was as cold as ice.
“What did I say before? “You said you would follow Ojini’s decision, right?”
And the decision Oh Jin made was to sort out their feelings for each other.
Whatever the reason, I couldn’t ignore the decision he made.
“So, before I lost my memory…”
“I decided to accept your feelings at the time, but after I lost my memory, my words suddenly changed?”
“Yes yes! “That’s right!”
Isabella urgently nodded.
Ha-eun narrowed her eyes and looked down at Isabella.
It didn’t seem like he was cornered and lying.
“…Something is strange.”
Ha-eun frowned and muttered.
The memories of Ojin that disappeared this time are only a small part of his date with Isabella.
Of course, I couldn’t know exactly how much of Ojin’s memory was lost, but it didn’t seem like it would be enough to change my usual emotions and thoughts.
Although the cases are different, his feelings did not change even when all his memories of when he was a lover disappeared.
“Now that I think about it, you said earlier, ‘I won’t lie from now on,’ right?”
That would mean that he had lied before.
Startle.
Isabella’s shoulders trembled.
“That is.”
Isabella was breaking out in a cold sweat and avoiding eye contact.
Ha-eun’s eyes shone sharply.
“What lie did you tell Ojini?”
“….”
Isabella lowered her head like a criminal entering the courtroom.
“I’m sorry. sister.”
“I’m not sorry, but what kind of lie did I tell you?”
“That’s…”
Hearing Ha-eun’s irritated voice, Isabella hesitantly opened up about what happened with Oh-jin.
As the story continued, Ha-eun’s expression changed moment by moment.
By the time the confession came out of nowhere.
“…Hey, that’s my goal.”
Ha-eun sighed deeply and touched her forehead.
“Hey, you pathetic girl.”
He grabbed Isabella’s head as she lowered her head.
“Would that swindler be fooled by something like that?”
“Ha but definitely.”
“I guess they just believed me even though I knew it was strange. “Because I trust you that much.”
“….”
“But you tried to deceive Ojini?”
It is an inexcusable fact.
Isabella chewed her lips, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart by guilt.
“…sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize to me, do you?”
“I’m sorry to my sister too.”
Even though I knew for sure that the two were dating, I tried to use a foolish trick.
I also had to bow my head and apologize to Ha-eun.
“…I will also apologize to Oh Jin tomorrow.”
“What are you going to do after you apologize? Should I at least go back to Italy?”
“….”
Isabella’s expression turned pale.
I knew it intuitively.
If I go back to Italy like this, there will never be a misdiagnosis in the future.
The hope that supported her life will disappear completely.
“I have to go back.”
The sin I committed was too great to shamelessly stay next to Oh Jin.
“Ah, from now on, I won’t show up in front of Mr. Ojin.”
Tears like chicken shit flowed down my cheeks.
A feeling as if your breathing is being constricted.
A distant despair weighed on her at the thought of not being able to be by his side in the future.
“I heard that’s true?”
Ha-eun, who was looking down at Isabella, who was shedding tears, suddenly opened her mouth.
“yes?”
Who are you talking to?
Isabella, who had her head down and tears streaming down her face, suddenly raised her head.
Ha-eun smiled and took out the smartphone she had put in her pocket.
A smartphone with a call connection.
Isabella’s eyes widened.
I pressed the speaker button on my smartphone in front of Isabella, who opened her mouth while muttering, “No way.”
[That’s a bit troublesome.]
A familiar voice comes from the smartphone.
For Isabella, it was the voice she wanted to hear the most, but at the same time, it was the voice she hated hearing the most.
“Oh oh oh Mr. Ojin?!”
[As expected, I thought it was a bit strange, but that’s how it happened.]
Oh Jin smiled bitterly on the other side of the smartphone.
Isabella grabbed Ha-eun’s shoulder with a pale face.
“Oh sister. Could it be that from the beginning…?”
“Ojini said he was worried about you and told me to look for you.”
Ha-eun shrugged her shoulders and clicked her tongue.
“Yeah well… I thought it would happen like this someday.”
Immediately after returning from Demon Lord.
It was something that Isabella had vaguely expected since she thought Ojin was dead and became a complete wreck.
“This is all your fault, kid.”
Ha-eun frowned and glared at her smartphone.
“Ah ah.”
Isabella stamped her feet with an expression that did not know what to do.
Could it be that Oh Jin was listening to the whole conversation with Ha Eun?
Doesn’t that mean that all of his lies have been discovered?
“Juju porridge….”
“Porridge?”
“I have no choice but to die now.”
Isabella closed her eyes tightly and dug her sharp nails into the back of her neck.
“Hey, wait a minute!”
Ha-eun urgently grabbed Isabella’s hand.
I almost fell for a moment due to the strength of a bull, but fortunately I was able to stop Isabella’s hand before her nails dug into my neck.
“Why die?!”
“…Your sister said that before, right?”
A low voice falls, mixed with droplets of tears.
“If Oh Jin dies… my sister will die too.”
“….”
“Me too… me too.”
Oh Jin wasn’t dead, though.
If I couldn’t be by his side, I was practically dead.
“sorry. “I took your place without even knowing the topic.”
“….”
Ha-eun kept her mouth shut and glared sharply at Isabella.
Seeing Isabella crying pitifully made me very irritated.
“Why are you doing that? “It wasn’t like this before, right?”
The Isabella she knew had to pretend to be noble at times like this and show a shameless attitude like a snarky serpent.
But what does she look like now?
Isn’t it no different from a snake than a leech writhing in muddy water?
The sight of Isabella’s miserable, drooping figure filled me with a feeling of squishy discomfort.
Ha-eun continued speaking while glaring at Isabella with fierce eyes.
“Why did you tell such a useless lie in the first place?”
If you wanted to be by Ojin’s side, there was no reason to be ‘first’.
Isabella chewed her lips and lowered her head.
“Because…”
“huh? what?”
“I was scared… because.”
Actually, I knew it.
No matter what he does, he can’t take Ha-eun’s place.
I was scared because I knew that fact better than anyone else.
I was so scared and afraid that I felt like I was going crazy.
Even though Oh Jin lost his memory of being a lover with Ha Eun, he connected with her again as if it was nothing.
There was a bond between the two that went beyond memories.
But what about yourself?
What about yourself, who is only ‘second’?
Was there something that could be called misdiagnosis and memories?
Was there a bond that went beyond memory?
“Sorry… ugh. sorry.”
If Ojin once again used the technique that turned his entire body into a black cloud.
If you forget about yourself again.
Will he be able to go back to his original relationship like Ha-eun?
“Me too… uh, like my sister. “I want to be like my sister.”
That’s why I hoped for the first one.
Even though I know that it is not a position suitable for me.
Even though I know that this is not a position that can be obtained by lying.
I was greedy.
“sorry.”
“….”
Ha-eun looked at the sobbing Isabella and wiped her face in silence.
ha.
A deep sigh escaped me.
“Hey, Kwon Oh-jin.”
Ha-eun turned her head and looked toward the entrance.
“Are you there?”
“…yes?”
Sweet.
The front door opened and Oh Jin, dressed in a hospital gown, entered the house.
Isabella trembled as if in a panic and took a step back.
“Oh Mr. Ojin?!”
“….”
Ojin approached Isabella without saying a word and carefully stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes.
Ha-eun clicked her tongue and turned around.
“You take care of the rest.”
“…Do it yourself?”
“I told you, right? “I will follow your decision.”
“….”
Ohjin, who had been thinking with his mouth firmly shut, opened his mouth quietly.
“I’m sorry, sister.”
A deep sigh escaped me.
“I guess I really am a piece of trash.”
“Do you know that now?”
Ha-eun laughed and kicked Oh-jin’s shin.
“What would you do if I told you to bring another boy and straddle him?”
“After beating that bastard, I’m going to tell him to get away from my sister.”
“What a fucking selfish bastard.”
“I told you. “You’re a piece of trash.”
I’ve given up on thinking about things in a complicated way.
What does it mean to know the aftereffects of a stream?
“I’m not saying it’s for you.”
Ojin slowly stood up.
He held Isabella with one hand and Ha-eun’s hand with the other.
“I’ll make you happy. “Both of them.”
Even if it means trampling and burning the whole world.
“…Oh Mr. Ojin?”
“Damn.”
Ha-eun frowned and spat out a harsh curse.
However, unlike her harsh swear words, she did not let go of Oh Jin’s hand that she was holding.
“Since your sister took care of your situation, will you listen carefully to what she says from now on?”
“I have committed a sin, so I have to listen to anything.”
“Dance Zero Two in your maid uniform.”
“I’m sorry, Isabella. “I think it will be difficult to accept your feelings.”
“Ah…”
Isabella’s pupils contracted.
His shoulders were shaking with an expression full of despair.
“Hey hey. “If this continues, I’m going to cry again.”
Ha-eun burst into laughter and tapped Isabella on the shoulder.
“…sister?”
“I think I’d be very upset if some random bitch came and told me I’d take the seat next to her.”
With a faint smile, he lightly stroked Isabella’s hair as she sat down.
“what is it. To be honest, I don’t really hate it. “It feels like I have a younger sister.”
Although Isabella sometimes made people laugh because of her bold behavior, Isabella was basically a friendly and kind person.
It’s like having a smart little sister.
As a romantic enemy, he was the worst, but as a friend or colleague, it was difficult to find a better person.
“So, now I… “Are you saying you acknowledge this, sister?”
Isabella’s once empty eyes opened up to the brilliant Milky Way.
Ha-eun shrugged her shoulders and turned her head towards Oh-jin.
“You came out of the hospital room without saying a word, right?”
“Oh yeah.”
I didn’t have time to explain anything.
“There must have been an uproar by now that you disappeared.”
The entire hospital must have turned upside down because the customer in the VIP room suddenly disappeared.
“for a moment. “I’ll call you right away…”
“That’s it. “I’ll go and go through the discharge procedures.”
Anyway, even though I was dying in the VIP hospital room, the aftereffects of Gaecheon were not cured.
Ha-eun glanced down at Isabella and continued speaking.
“In the meantime, finish talking to him.”
“…Thank you, sister.”
“It’s okay. This is all my fault for not dating a good man.”
Ha-eun sighed deeply and turned around.
“Oh wait a minute.”
As she was about to go out, she rummaged through the drawers in her room as if she remembered something.
What I took out of the drawer was a paper box slightly smaller than the palm of my hand.
“If you’re going to do it, write it down and do it.”
Ha-eun threw a cardboard box at Oh-jin.
“….”
“….”
Oh Jin and Isabella’s expressions hardened when they saw the number ‘0.01’ written on the cardboard box.
