Same day in the previous episode. Now I'm still sitting in a chair by the stall with Nina's shucks. Actually I really want to get away from him. It's just that my energy has not fully recovered due to fatigue due to running fast.
Nina was still not satisfied laughing at me. What pisses you off is the tone it feels like it's made-up and not purely laughing because it's funny. Feeling emotion is certain. But what was my chest at the time? I'm not that kind of talkative teenager that's easy. A quiet child like me who can defend himself with words?
"Can you just shut up?"
"Sorry, sorry...." He said, closing his mouth.
I, who had recovered from my fatigue, tried to stand up. But Nina prevented it as if she knew I was leaving her.
"Don't go yet!"
"What right do you have to forbid me?"
"Indeed, if you leave, you have a friend to confide in?"
Also true. Almost no friend would listen to me when I was in trouble. If there is, surely at the end of it he asks for money. I was silent for a moment and forgot my intention to leave.
"Sit down for a minute and say all your outpouring! I know you're having a hard time."
I don't know why I'm just following Nina's words. As if I had been hit by a hypnotic spell I did as he said.
"....." I just fell silent looking at Nina's face in wonder.
"Promise I won't be ignorant. I'm sure you need someone to hear your story."
"Is that what I'm guessing?"
Nina could only smile a little at my question. Then he said, "a friend should be able to understand the feelings of his friend."
"Friends? Since when are we friends?"
"Since I came to this school and sat down with you."
"You may claim to be my friend when your attitude toward me does not reflect the attitude of a friend at all."
"Have you been a really big paper? I did that just kidding me once. After that you just keep quiet with me even though we've sat down with you. Yeah, I'm trying to lure you in with my prank."
"It has to be in that way? If you do that, I'm even more pissed at you."
"There's actually another way. But I think only in this way can you change."
"Changed?"
"Yes I want you to change. Honestly, I feel sorry for you. I can't have you taken advantage of by them. They only come to you when they need money. And strangely you just enjoy it."
Enjoying said? Quite the contrary. I cried in my heart at that. I think they're gonna melt into me who's so patiently taken advantage of. Actually they are becoming more and more. They don't even have to talk anymore when they ask me for money.
"Why would you care about something like that?"
"Because I'm different from them. I still have feelings. From today I want you to stop giving or lending money to them."
"The money is nothing to me."
"It doesn't matter the amount of money! Yes I know you're a rich man. But it's a matter of your pride."
"What do I need to do to make them friends with me? You think it's good not to have friends? I was forced to do this too. Let me lose money instead of losing friends."
"Are you blind?!"
I was surprised by the question that was asked of me. That sounds off-putting to the topic of conversation.
"That you're such an insensitive guy!! If you're not blind, what do you think I am!? Watch out if you even equate me with them!" Nina said with a threatening tone.
I who saw it suddenly got angry even more astonished. Yeah I never equated Nina like the rest of the guys. Unlike those who are neutral, Nina actually acts as an antagonist in my life. Anyone would know that Nina used to bully me a lot and humiliate me.
"Yes-yes I know you're different. You like to fuck me. Unlike those who don't care about me, unless you give me money."
"Thank you I'm your friend! I sincerely want to be friends with you even if I don't like you."
I didn't hear wrong, did I? He wants to be friends with me without expecting money from me? It's hard to believe. A lot of people say that at the beginning. But more and more days, their original purpose is money.
"You sure you want to be friends with me?"
"Use it again! It's not clear what?"
Then my mind crossed my mind. With my own initiative I took out my wallet from my pants pocket. Then I opened his wallet which was filled with a hundred thousand notes.
He looked strangely at me. Just this time I saw a person who was not tempted by the amount of money I had. But it could have been a trick Nina did not suspect.
I don't want to talk myself either. Immediately I took this money and held out this money right before Nina's face.
"You sure you don't want this?" I said to Nina.
Nina's astonished face instantly disappeared. Her face had turned into a sharp look as if it was going to kill me. I don't know why. I guess he'd be happy if I gave him a hundred thousand which is seven.
Seeing the look in his eyes was like being plotted by a demon-eyed woman. From there my feelings became unpleasant. But I wonder why he looks so mad at me?
This time I saw Nina was angry. He is always smiling everywhere. Was he angry because he had less money? seven hundred thousand is still lacking? Oh yes, maybe she is the type of woman who likes to shop a lot in the mall, so the money is not enough to buy makeup or skin scare.
"Why is he suddenly silent? Usually you're chatty. Is it because the money is less? If less, I'll transfer the money to your account. Tell me your account number!"
PLAQUE, PLAQUE, PLAQUE!? The sound of slaps was heard three times over and over again.
This oath hurts. This time I was slapped by a woman. Let alone women, men do not dare to slap or hurt me. This woman is a monster.
"It hurts to know!" Jerked him.
"You think what you're doing isn't painful?!" Nina replied in an angry tone.
"I just want to give you money. Is giving the money painful? I swear you're weird!"
"You're saying I'm weird? You are weird!! Though I sincerely want to be friends with you, but you give you money instead. You think I'm *****?!"
"Your mind is so ugly. What's the problem if I give you money? And one more thing, I never considered you *****."
"Don't you think that friendship can be bought with money just because you're rich! Friendship is priceless. To be honest, I was disappointed with your attitude. At first I respected you, but after your attitude, I felt even more sorry for you. You're really pathetic. If you don't want to be friends with me just say so. Don't act like that!"
She was crying without a sound. The tears that wet his cheeks looked unsightly. Was my attitude too much? I don't think because before I acted like that to other people, they were happy to get money from me. But I don't know why Nina refused my money.
Is he really sincere without expecting money from me? That sounds impossible because the average student in the school was a double eye. Is Nina an exception?
Now he's gone without me telling him to go. The situation became quiet instantly. And I don't know since when the shop was closed. I was alone there with the wind before dusk.
And what I just did was just test whether Nina was as sincere as she said or not. Now I know the answer, and the answer is that Nina is sincere with me.
But still his attitude just now was too excessive in my opinion, you know.
