Just Us
Chap 17's
Karina walked straight into her room, the girl sat on the sofa, daydreaming about Baekhwa's words, the girl was not bothered by the darkness of the room.
Mina opened the door of her room, the woman was startled after turning on the light and found Karina sitting there with a blank look. Mina sat down next to the girl, and shook Karina's arm
"Karina-yeah..hey gwenchana?" Ask Mina
Karina turned her head, the girl was surprised to find that Mina was already sitting next to her
"Eoh Eonni. since when is Eonni here?" ask Karina
"I just arrived, and was surprised to find you sitting waving. What was? Do you have a problem?" Ask Mina
Karina was silent considering should she tell Mina the problem this time, or should she keep it to herself? After cradling for a few minutes, the girl finally told Mina the problem, from her past with Baekhwa, to her conversation with Baekhwa earlier. Mina was of course surprised, the woman held Karina's hand trying to give calm to the girl in front of her
"How do you think Eonni? Do you think the same as Baekhwa thinks?" Ask Karina
Mina let out a long sigh, she tidied Karina's hair that slipped out of her ties and she slipped it behind her ears
"May I be honest?" Mina made sure of Karina, though hesitated a little Karina nodded her head
"the first time I saw you, I thought you were lovers. And you know why my heart warms to see your familiarity. But when you say you're just friends, I wonder how your friendship can be that familiar. Then gradually I felt something different from Daejung's attitude towards you. True what Baekhwa said, Daejung's attitude towards you is very different, it is clear that what Daejung did for you was more than a friend, the way he looked at you, the way he hugged you, the way he hugged you, the way he faces you, it all clearly shows that Daejung has more feelings for you. Maybe you don't realize it because you have been together for a long time, but for me who witnessed your closeness can conclude that Daejung indeed save more flavor to you Karina-ya" explained Mina as gently as possible
Karina closed her eyes, trying to digest Mina and Baekhwa's words. Then his memories again revolved around his closeness to Daejung all this time. Daejung always prioritizes himself over anything, the man always comes when he needs something, has Daejung put more flavor on him? What if Daejung really loves him? And if that happens, what is their friendship?will the relationship and Daejung be good until it is true? Karina shook her head noisily, trying to expel all those thoughts. Later when Daejung picks him up he will make sure to Daejung, he will ask directly how Daejung feels to him

While in one of the high-rise buildings in the center of Seoul, Daejung sits in his big chair, the man smiles with relief after his friendship with Tuang Hwang who is none other than the father of Hye in. The man came to see him and apologized for what Hye in did to Daejung, the middle-aged man also said that he had sent Hye in to live in Japan with his uncle, and Tuang Hwang also promised that Hye in would not bother Daejung again. And of course Daejung was relieved, at least nothing else would bother Karina.
The vibrations from his phone jolted Daejung's consciousness from his daydream, after seeing who the sender was, a smile appeared on the dabbled man's face. But the smile didn't last long because he was wondering why Karina asked him to meet at the Cafe, and why didn't she pick him up? the girl reasoned that she wanted to go shopping first before going to the Cafe, so Daejung did not need to pick her up, did not want to bother Daejung just agree to Karina's invitation

Karina and Daejung are already in one of the cafes that Karina promised earlier, they are waiting for their order to come
"How are you doing today? is there something you want to tell me?" ask Daejung
Karina was silent she looked at Daejung face, this is one of the things that Karina always liked from Daejung, the man always gave her attention that always warms her heart, and she always has a warm heart, then his memory goes back to revolving about his conversation with Mina, does Daejung indeed have more feelings for her?
"Karina.." call Daejung, and it manages to pull Karina back from her reverie.
"Gwenchana?" ask Daejung
"Eoh nan gwenchana, what's wrong?" now it was Karina's turn to ask
"You're daydreaming, is there anything that bothers you?"
"A-there's something I want to ask you" Karina replied nervously
"You want to ask? what's something going on?" asked Daejung curiously
"Aniyo.I just want to make sure of something" Karina replied.
"What do you want to make sure?" ask Daejung
With a thumping feeling, the girl crumbled the test of her shirt and lowered her head to try to neutralize her heartbeat. Daejung, who saw Karina's strange gait, tried to grab the girl's hand and then she held it and rubbed it gently, trying to give Karina peace
"Say what makes you curious"
Karina looked up at Daejung right in the man's eyes
"Daejung-ah..during this how do you feel about me?"
Daejung's eyebrows shot up, confused by Karina's question, why did the girl suddenly ask her feelings
"Of course I love you, I love you very much. You know it wasn't"
"I know that, but I mean have you loved me only as a friend, as a little sister as you always wanted to protect or? " Tanya Karina with a tweet at the end of her sentence
Daejung stiffened, this is what she had been afraid of all this time, Karina realized her love for the girl. Honestly, she wasn't ready to reveal everything to Karina, but when things were like this and when Karina realized what else she was covering up.
Daejung took a deep breath and then looked at Karina
"I hold more to you Karina, a man's love for a woman. Mianhe Karina-ya.I do not know when the taste appears, but over time and along with our togetherness, the taste grows and develops with no shame. I've tried to stop him but, the more I try, the more it develops without me being able to control it" Daejung said
Karina's tears couldn't be contained anymore, the girl cried. He was confused how to deal with all this, his feelings were mixed between anger, disappointment, sadness I don't know everything was so sudden for him to accept
Daejung tries to reach for the hand, but Karina blushes, Daejung heart throws at Karina's treatment.
"You broke our covenant Daejung-ah...Y-you're ruining all Daejung-ah" Karina said in her tears
"Mianhe Karina...Mianhe" Daejung said
Daejung feels guilty, she has broken their agreement about there will be no feeling of love between them, she and Karina assume that the feeling of love will disrupt and destroy their friendship. As long as they are friends there will only be affectionate feelings like brother and sister and no more than that. But as Daejung recklessly messes with her, she lets the feeling of love rest in her heart, and now she can only bear all her mistakes, even though she has no intention of doing any of that
