Just Us
Chap 51's

The time shows at eleven o'clock at night, and the state of Daejung's apartment feels so quiet because some of its residents have been lulled in a dreamland, but not with Daejung. The man was still sitting in the pantry with some files in his hand.

Hye-in goes out of her room to get some drinking water, her net catches Daejung who is still struggling with her work. The woman then walked closer to Daejung

"You're still doing your job?" Ask Hye in

Daejung smiled "Em, I have to finish it immediately in order to grant the naughty girl's request" he said

Hye in smiled, it seems Daejung really loves Karina, so whatever the girl wants Daejung will certainly grant it

"Do I want to make you some coffee?" Tawar Hye

"Aniyo, I'm almost done with it" Daejung replied

"Then do you mind if I sit here?" Ask Hye in

Daejung looked at the chair in front of her, then turned to Hye in with a smile. The man shook his head. Getting permission from Daejung, Hye in also sat in front of Daejung

"Daejung-ah, can I ask you something?" Ask Hye in

"Sure, just ask what you want to ask" Daejung replied

"Em... do you still love Karina?" Hye in asked hesitantly, she was afraid that the question was bothering Daejung

Daejung stopped checking his files, the man looked at Hye at a glance, then back he searched the documents in his hand

"Without me even answering you would know Hye in-ah's answer" Daejung replied

Hye in smiled awkwardly, so she should not have to ask that if in fact she already knew the answer herself

"Have you told Karina?" Hye in

"I've said it first" Daejung replied

"Then..how did Karina respond?" Hye in curious

Daejung breathed a rough breath, her memory spinning at the moment where Karina used to inhabit her

"She didn't answer him and he stayed for a year" Daejung chuckled at the end of his sentence

Hye-in is surprised to hear Daejung's answer, the woman then takes a slightly rough breath

"Em, did you say it again after that?" Ask Hye in back

Daejung shook his head

"Wae?" Ask Hye in

"Hah.. I still can not accept Karina's rejection, I was afraid when I re-expressed my feelings to her, I was afraid she rejected me again and returned to live in me" explained Daejung

"Ck, are you going to give up just because of that? Why are you a pessimist like this Daejung-ah. Is it only until there that you fight for your feelings for Karina? Look Daejung-ah, someone's feelings no one knows, and you know it's not that someone's feelings change easily. Maybe she rejected you in the past, but who knows as time goes by Karina's feelings also change for you, it could be that as long as she lives in you she is thinking and trying to open her heart to you" hye said at length

Daejung was silent for a moment, the man thought about what Hye in said. The woman was right as well, it could be that now that Karina's feelings for her had changed. Gaining Daejung's composure, Hye in again asked Daejung

"Do you want Karina to fall into another man's arms?"

Daejung bangs strongly, she doesn't want Karina to belong to anyone else

"Therefore, do not waste every opportunity that Daejung-ah has" Hye said

Daejung cradled should she say it again? Is he ready to accept Karina's rejection? But it was also true what Hye in had said, she should not waste every opportunity available

"You're right Hye in-ah I shouldn't waste a chance. I will return to express my feelings. When do you think I should tell Karina?" Ask Daejung

"Em how about Karina's birthday, I think it's the right time. You can take Karina to eat together and you can express your feelings for her" Hye-in said

Daejung smiled, the man nodded his head,

"Gomawo Hye in - ah"

"Em, I will pray to God that this time Karina will accept your feelings" Hye in replied

Daejung nodded, inwardly the man agreed to Hye in's expectations

Today is the day Karina waited the most, where today her age is increasing. The girl dressed so pretty, she was wearing a knee-length dress with long sleeves, this afternoon her hair was partially tied using ribbons. And the outside he used the coat because of the cold that started piercing the skin. This afternoon he was going to eat with Daejung and Chunghee, the girl boarded a taxi and mentioned her destination address.

While Daejung is being sucked to leave, the man prepares a ring that he will give Karina. He swiped the ring and then closed it back and put it in his pocket.

"Em, I will leave early to greet Karina" Daejung replied

"Aigo, so excited. Geurae I always pray for you the best. Daejung-ah hwaiting" said Hye in

"Gowamo Hye. Well I leave first, if anything happens immediately contact me arraseo" said Daejung

"Arra, ck chatty once go before you're late" Hye in replied

Daejung chuckled and then stepped out of the apartment.

At the same time, Chunhee was in a flower shop, yesterday the man had ordered a bouquet of ninety-nine pink roses for him to give Karina as a symbol of his love. As soon as the flowers were ordered, the man immediately walked to his car with a smile that never faded.

Karina has arrived at the restaurant they promised, her footsteps swinging towards the VIP room that Daejung and Chunghee purposely ordered for Karina's important event today.

Daejung stood up as soon as she found Karina who had come, Karina ran towards her and of course Daejung stretched her arms to welcome Karina in her arms. Karina hugs Daejung tightly, while the man kisses Karina's head

"Nan Boghosipoho" whined Karin

Daejung chuckles "I miss you too little girl" Daejung replied

Daejung pulled out a chair for Karina and allowed the girl to sit down. Karina smiled and thanked her friend

"When are you coming home?" Tanya Karina started the conversation

"Night, mianhe I forgot to tell you. Hana was fussy last night so I helped Hye in calm her down" Daejung explained

"Hye in, ready to come home?" Tanya Karina enthusiastically

"Em, after I gave him some explanation, he finally wanted to come home with me" Daejung explained

"Will he settle down?" Ask Karina again

"Eoh, he's gonna settle down"

"Yey, I finally get to play with Hana every day. You know after coming home from Japan I kept thinking about Hana, I miss her a lot" Karina said

"Now you're free to play with her Karina-ya. Do you want to order first?" Ask Daejung

"I'll order you later I'm still waiting for Chunghee. Aish where that shitty guy is, why hasn't he come" Karina replied

Dejung smiled, the man thought is now the right time for her to express her feelings? Yes, this is a good time while they are still sitting together

"Karina-ya" called Daejung to Karina who was still busy with her phone

"Ne?" Karina replied, the girl put down her phone and looked at Daejung

"Karina, you're still reminding me that I'm harboring more feelings for you, I mean you're still reminding me that I love you" Daejung said

Karina nodded stiffly in response, the girl's heart beating faster than before. The girl thought if Daejung would discuss that again. Inner Carina

Daejung smiled "Karina-ya I. I still love you. That feeling still thrives on my heart, I've been trying to kill that feeling. But instead of dying, the feeling grew more and more fertile. Karina-ya needs courage for me to reveal everything back. I don't want to lose you, I don't want you to occupy me anymore. So all this time I let that feeling go, but after I thought back, I couldn't just stay this way, I didn't want to waste every chance I had. So with all the courage and confidence I have, I want to ask you once again. Karina-ya. will you be my lover" said Daejung, the man took out a velvet box containing the ring he was about to give Karina.

Karina petrified in her place. His eyes were dewy, even now his tears had washed down his cheeks. The girl lowered her head, sobs sounded from her lips. Once again he had to reject Daejung, he could not accept the feelings of his best friend because all this time his heart had been filled by someone he secretly loved

"Mianhe Daejung-ah, I can't return your feelings, I. ak-I.." Karina's words were cut off, the girl couldn't continue.

Daejung smiled wryly, the man again laughed at himself who again received rejection from Karina. He wiped the back of Karina's hand, and it managed to make Karina look up and look at Daejung who tried to give her best smile even though her heart ached instead of playing. That Daejung did so that Karina did not feel guilty for again having to reject it, as well as men trying to give confidence to Karina that she was okay

"Hey, nan gweanchana Karina-ya you don't have to cry em. I can take it, I know I shouldn't force my feelings on you. I'm guilty, so Karina-ya uljima, I'm okay really, I accept all this. I will always wish you the best, I will be happy if you are happy too. I will always support you and will always be by your side. But Karina will you accept this ring? Think of it as your birthday gift" Daejung said

Karina smiled at the cry, the girl nodded and it made Daejung smile and the man pinned the ring on Karina's finger.

And coincidentally at that time Chunghee entered the room with a smile that never faded a little. His steps came to a halt when he saw Daejung pairing the ring to Karina with a smile that was growing. Chunghee lowered her head, the man chuckled softly. Then he picked up the bouquet of roses that he was going to give to Karina

"You should know and be aware of it from the beginning Chunghee-ah. You should have remembered that Karina would have preferred Daejung over you" Chunghee told herself. The man turned around and came out of the room carrying a tightness on his heart.
