Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

28 – That’s enough for me

When I entered the nearest franchise cafe from school, Mina came first and was waiting for me.

She The drink in the clear coffee cup placed in front of her had already reduced by a third, telling her how long she had waited.

It was Mina who asked to meet her, and she wasn’t late at the promised time, but it’s true that she waited for me, so she apologized and sat down across from Mina.

“Sorry, did you wait long?”

“Well, I waited a long time. As punishment, you shoot the cake.”

“No, I just said it… Aren’t I late?”

“So? Would you like to buy me a cake?”

“… What do you want to eat?”

“hehehe, give me the menu!”

She handed over the menu board that had been placed closer to me, and Mina hummed her song and flipped through her menu board.

A cute girl does cute things.

It’s a sight that can’t help but laugh naturally.

“I would like tiramisu cookies and cream and New York cheesecake and uh again… ah! Even the blueberry yogurt whipped cream!”

“… Can you eat all of that?”

“Then are you afraid I won’t be able to eat it all? Now, Hansol chooses you too!”

“I think I should just eat the same as you…” ?”

“What~? Hmm… If we’re going to eat together, I’ll order more. Give me the menu again!”

“… I have a lot to say, but I will hold it in for now.”

How much do you want to eat?

He doesn’t eat a lot of rice, but he eats a lot of dessert like this?

So I stopped growing when I was less than 160 feet tall.

There are girls who stop growing quickly.

Park Min-ah is such a case.

If you make fun of me for being short all the time, I get angry and don’t try to grow taller anyway.

‘No… Doesn’t that mean growth has stopped? At least not all parts have stopped.”

Although Minah’s height stopped growing long ago, there was another part where she couldn’t stop growing.

On Mina’s skinny body, only a certain part in the middle stands out as if it was reflected in a special mirror.

Her face is also cute, but only ‘that part’ is so big that it looks like a fish fry with egg yolk on its belly.

I entered middle school and only that part grew differently day by day… These days, whenever we meet, it’s difficult to look at each other.

“Hansol, what are you looking at right now… ?”

“… No, I just wanted the clothes I wore today to be pretty.”

“Huh~ Really?”

Mina noticed my gaze and narrowed her eyes.

The naive and foolish Mina is no more… Looks like she turned them all on.

I’m sure there aren’t only a couple of men who look at me this way.

“Sorry… That, I didn’t mean to look at it, that’s… “

“… It’s okay. Hansol, you are fine.”

“What? What do you mean okay?”

“What do you mean? It’s okay because it’s between us. Rather, look at the real clothes this time. How is it?”

“… Uh. It’s pretty.”

“Isn’t it? I have to dress up a bit better now.”

“Ah, high school students? Students should study this.”

“No, it’s not because of that… But Hansol, what kind of grandfather are you talking about?”

But it’s not empty talk, it’s really sophisticated.

That snoring kid who fell down and cried even on the bare ground in the past.

The feeling is new indeed. Girl it’s done

… If you say this, you can say that you are like a grandfather again.

But is it because Ara is best friends? It feels like his style is getting more and more similar to Ara’s.

It’s like hairstyles and fashion… I feel very familiar with Ara.

Even…

“Does your shampoo smell the same as Ara’s?”

“… Okay? It must have happened by accident.”

“Is that a coincidence?”

Is there such a coincidence?

Can’t friends use the same thing because their hair smells good?

Instead of answering my question, Mina with a calm face asked me a question.

“Hansol, what are you going to do with school? … Will she go to the school where Ara goes again this time?”

“Did you know?”

“I don’t know you? Otherwise, why would you go to such a school?”

“… Our school isn’t that bad once you go to school.”

Of course, as long as you fight well.

By the way, Minah Park is also like an old friend.

You knew everything. Why did I go to Black Bear?

Anyway, it’s easier to talk if you know everything.

I asked Mina, who laughed at my words, while pulling her face.

“This time too, Minah, I hope you take good care of Ara. Are you going to support me too?”

“… Did i say that? I haven’t decided yet.”

“Why? Do you have any other places in mind?”

“It’s not like that… That, over there, Hansol, I… I went to middle school with Ara, so will Hansol go to high school with you?”

“Uh… ?”

I was speechless at the unexpected words.

I thought it was a joke, but I couldn’t find that kind of atmosphere in Mina’s face as she was making eye contact with me.

As I stood still, unable to answer, Mina laughed and waved her hand.

“… I’m kidding. Whooping… Hansol, why are you so serious? Are you so reluctant to go to the same school as me?”

“No! It’s never like that… “

“I know, you are worried about Ara. But you know. Ara is a girl who will do well with or without me.”

“But… But Minah, your school… “

“… I said it was a joke!!”

Interrupting me, Minah exclaimed nervously.

The attention of the few customers in the cafe was focused on us.

Ignoring such a thing, Mina, who leaned her forehead against the table, continued with a trembling voice.

“Just… It’s just that this time, let’s go to school together, it’s so difficult to even say that once… ? Even if you don’t mean it, can’t you think of saying something so empty?!”

“Park Min-ah… “

“Me, that’s enough for me… really… That was enough… “

“…… “

Eventually, Mina fell on her table and burst into tears.

And only then did I understand Minah’s heart.

No, I must have known that a long time ago.

I’ve been deliberately denying it.

… But even so, I had nothing to give her.

She just sat next to her and hugged the sobbing Mina.

It wasn’t until the attention that had been focused on us started to fade that Minah’s body stopped shaking.

A choking sound came from her mouth as she removed my arm from her body.

“… Don’t do this.”

“Okay, sorry… “

“And the school… I already talked to Ara. I already told you to take it and go. You don’t have to worry.”

“Yes… “

Minah calmed down a bit and raised her head, her face all red.

Taking out her hand mirror and checking her own face, Mina glared at me and said.

“What is this because of you? I came out with a pretty look on purpose, but I said something useless… “

“Sorry… “

“Anyway… But I, although I will go to school with Ara, I won’t be able to stick with Ara like that.”

“What do you mean?”

“This.”

Minah held out a business card to me.

Pine Tree Entertainment.

This is the company Han Seung-ah belonged to.

“I was scouted a while ago. After a while, she will become an idol trainee.”

“Suddenly? Were you interested in that?”

“I thought it over and decided on my own. I even talked to her mom and dad.”

“Well, Min-ah, you’ve always been better at motor skills than Ara… “

Suddenly, an old friend is an idol.

I’m not sure if I should congratulate you or not because it’s such an unexpected story.

“… If you become a real idol, I won’t be able to meet you from now on.”

“I’ll find time somehow. He is my first love, and I have to take care of that.”

“No, what… “

Laughing at me, who was embarrassed, Mina packed her things and stood up.

If you suddenly get hooked like that, how should you react…

When I came out of the cafe, Minah, who had come out first, asked with a light smile.

“Sol, but… Will I be second? Ara, what’s next?”

The name she calls her has changed to her nickname, but she didn’t bother pointing it out.

To her pitiful question, I answered the best I could think of.

“You are also the first.”

“Whoops… If you’re going to lie, I’ll tell you that I’m the first one.”

After saying that, her steps as she left seemed lighthearted.

On the contrary, my steps back home were a bit heavy.

———-

The name of the high school I decided to go to is Cheonnyeon High School.

It is an ordinary coeducational public high school.

It is difficult to say that the atmosphere of study is well formed, so there are a few students who are good at studying, aiming for their grades.

Compared to the prestigious Bdddeum Girls’ High School that Ara and Minah attend, the level of the school cannot be said to be high, but… For those of us who came out of Heuksu Namjung, this is also a good thing.

At least there won’t be a guy like Heo Tae-gwang.

Gu Min-seop, passing through the school gate with me, asked in surprise.

“Really?! Park Min-ah became an idol?”

“I don’t know yet. They say you’re a trainee now.”

“Then I will debut! Ha… Maybe I should have been more friendly with him. Did you see him often?”

“Just like that…. But do you still have feelings for Park Min-ah?”

“What, what! When i… Oh that’s it! I forgot Park Min-ah and came to engineering, so I make a girlfriend unconditionally for three years of high school.”

Forget Park Min-ah… She was lingering but what.

I went up to the 3rd floor where the 1st grade classroom was located, sent Min-seop Gu, who was in another class with me, and I entered the 5th class classroom where I belonged.

In the class, I saw a few classmates who came earlier, and among them, the class was female.

Usually, even in coeducational schools, there are many cases where men and women are in the same class until middle school, but Cheonnyeon High School is a high school, but it is a mixed class.

Goo Min-seop is so good I’m going to die.

On the blackboard, there was a message saying to sit down according to your number before the entrance ceremony.

Because I am number 27… Is this my seat?

“Hey, do you look good?”

“Huh?”

As I sat down, I heard a rough voice next to me.

When I turned my head, all I could see was a school uniform skirt that had been shortened to such an extent that I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to see my butt.

No less than that, the button-down shirt on his school uniform and heavy makeup that didn’t fit his status as a student.

… Wow, it’s a foster girl.
