Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love-Chapter 63: Change
Chapter 63: Change
The June mock exam was just next week.
As much as Eun-ha made time for me, I studied harder than usual.
I was just beginning to see what Eun-ha had been talking about... but I was confident my grades would improve.
Eun-ha, Im not sure if this is the right way to think about it-
I was about to ask Eun-ha if my approach was correct.
But she, who had been nodding off for a while, was now fast asleep, her head drooped down.
If she kept sleeping like this, shed surely wake up with a stiff neck tomorrow.
She looks so peaceful when she sleeps.
Gently pulling Eun-has head towards me, it lightly touched my shoulder.
I wanted to briefly kiss her forehead as she slept, soundly leaning on my shoulder.
But I didnt want to wake her, and the idea of touching her while she slept was a bit embarrassing, so I let it be.
I took a short break, browsing on my phone.
Maybe ten minutes had passed?
Eun-ha slowly opened her eyes.
Ah...!
Youre awake? You must be really tired these days.
No, Im not tired at all...
Your sleepy voice doesnt sound very convincing.
Eun-ha ran her fingers through her hair and shook her head.
Awakened from her nap, Eun-ha looked straight into my eyes, her eyes wide.
Then she smiled broadly and said softly,
Waking up to find Han-gyeol here makes me so happy.

I quickly pressed my lips to Eun-has smiling ones.
With a soft pop as our lips met, Eun-has eyes widened even more.
Su-Suddenly...!
Eun-ha, that was to help you wake up.
That was too short.
What-?! Ahh!
Eun-ha suddenly pulled me towards her with a fierce grip and kissed me passionately.
She was no longer holding back in expressing her affection.
Youre like a wild animal now.
How far did you get with your studies?
I finished todays portion.
Wow, really? That was quick.
Its all thanks to Eun-has good teaching.
Really~? It makes me happy to hear Han-gyeol say that.
Im happy when Eun-has happy.
I didnt know what to say.
Beyond words like cute, pretty, and lovely, there was something else.
I wanted to express my feelings for Eun-ha more accurately, but it was so hard.
No matter what I said, it felt inadequate, and in my frustration, I wanted to express my feelings in their rawest form.
Whoa-! Its already ten oclock?!
Yeah, its gotten quite late.
Ah, I shouldnt have slept. I should have spent more time awake with Han-gyeol.
We can go on a date after the mock exam.
Then well have to start preparing for the finals.
Now that you mention it, yeah.
Eun-ha collapsed onto the desk, seemingly quite disappointed.
Ah, I wish I had met Han-gyeol sooner.
Me too. How great it would have been if I had met Eun-ha earlier.
But still, Han-gyeol said hed be with me every day from next year, so Ill wait~
Well have to set up a home~ Better get permission from our parents first.
I really want to do that...! Every day would be so much fun.
Me too. I think Ill be happy every day living with Eun-ha.
Eun-has happiness seemed to be my happiness, and my happiness seemed to be Eun-has too.
Do you think youll be happy living with me?
Yeah. I think Ill be happy every day.
Eun-ha seemed satisfied with my answer and beamed brightly.
Han-gyeol, should we start heading out? Lets go.
Are you going to walk me out? Just to the front door is fine.
Cant we walk around the park once? I dont want to part just yet.
I came on my bike. Want me to give you a ride?
But you teased me last time for being heavy.
Hey, I didnt directly say that.
You said it indirectly-!
Eun-ha seemed slightly miffed about that incident.
I had no choice. I had to completely make it up to her today.
It was just to be safe in case you fell. It would have been a big accident. Eun-ha is incredibly light.
I didnt get that feeling. It seemed like you were struggling a bit.
Eun-ha is as light as a feather, Im telling you. If we were at my home, I could lift you easily.
Then lift me.
I had a feeling it would come to this, but really?
Yeah, yeah. Hurry up.
I slowly got up from my seat.
Eun-ha looked at me with eyes full of anticipation.
Even if you get scared, you wont put me down?
Yeah, yeah. I wont put you down.
I gently placed my arms behind Eun-has calves.
As Eun-ha naturally wrapped her arms around my neck, I lifted her up.
Wow-! This is fun.
Told you, youre as light as a feather. Should I not put you down now?
Yeah, yeah. Keep holding me like this.
Okay.
As I swung Eun-ha gently from side to side, her hair whipped around energetically.
Ahh-! Han-gyeol, Im getting dizzy-!
I told you I wouldnt put you down.
I played with Eun-ha until my arms tired, then carefully placed her on the bed.
If I ever marry Eun-ha and we have a child, would it feel like this?
Eun-ha looked happily at me for having held her like a princess, although her hair was a complete mess.
Your hair is so funny right now.
Its all because of you, Han-gyeol. But it was fun.
Should we start heading out now?
Yeah, yeah. Going for a walk, right?
Yeah. I wanted to go for a walk with Eun-ha.
Okay.
Eun-ha hopped off the bed with a bounce.
A bunny now?
You said Im a wild animal now.
We left the room together, Eun-ha donning her outerwear.
Brother, Im going to take a short walk with Han-gyeol and then come back.
Okay. Be careful, both of you.
Yes, yes. See you next week.
After a brief greeting to Eunwoo Hyung, we stepped outside.
I unlocked the bicycle as we breathed in the cool night air.
Eun-ha, hop on the back.
Where are we going?
How about a lap around the lake park?
Sounds good.
Eun-ha climbed onto the back of the bicycle and hugged my waist tightly.
Eun-ha, if you hold on too tight, I cant start.
It means to go slowly. Got it?
Okay. Ill drive safely.
Eun-ha held onto my waist more firmly than before. When we stopped at the crosswalk, she hugged me even tighter.
She had been giving me a lot more physical affection lately. It was a bit embarrassing, but mostly nice.
After reaching the lake park, I secured the bicycle in the bike rack.
I wish I could give Han-gyeol a ride too. What a pity.
Its okay. Lets take a slow lap around.
I held out my hand, and Eun-ha grabbed it eagerly.
I remember coming to the lake park late at night with Han-gyeol. It was the day of the March mock exam, and now its already the June mock exam.
Yeah, I remember Eun-ha calling me that night. It was really nice.
I felt sorry for calling you so late, but I couldnt think of anyone but Han-gyeol.
Really? That makes me really happy. Call me anytime when things get tough, like that day.
After pondering my words for a moment, Eun-ha responded.
Okay, I will. But ever since I started dating Han-gyeol, I havent had many tough times.
Really? Am I doing that well? Im glad you think so.
Just being with Han-gyeol... Ive changed. Before, I guess I couldnt express my feelings honestly? Its not that I was always gloomy, but I was clumsy at expressing myself, whether it was with family or friends. I couldnt just pour out my feelings, but now its different.
Eun-ha continued speaking.
Expressing my feelings to others isnt difficult anymore. Its definitely because of Han-gyeol. You always ask about my feelings, accept them, and understand them. Feeling completely understood by someone is so great. Thats why Ive changed. And I like myself now, changed thanks to Han-gyeol, much more than before.
Eun-ha glanced up at me, her face illuminated and made brighter by the moonlight.
Thats why I like Han-gyeol so~ much. Crazy much.
I also really like that Eun-ha likes me. Youre so cute and lovable, I really want to bite you.
That much? Han-gyeol can bite me if he wants.
Really? Werent you the wild animal?
Han-gyeol can be quite the beast too.
So, should I really bite?
Go ahead, try?
No sooner had Eun-ha finished speaking, I playfully bit her head.
Ahh-! You really bit me!
Eun-ha jumped in surprise and covered her head.
I did it because Eun-ha is too cute.
Come here. I want to bite Han-gyeol too.
No way, Eun-ha. I didnt give you permission.
Oh, why-!
I walked ahead, leaving Eun-ha behind.
Han-gyeol, why are you running away again?
If you catch me, youll bite me.
Thats right. I want to bite Han-gyeol too.
Who would willingly let a wild animal bite them?
Ill only bite lightly, so come here quickly.
Instead of running away like last time, I approached Eun-ha, who grabbed my arm tightly. She then stood on her toes and gently pressed her lips against my cheek.
I told you not to bite.
Ah, now I might have to bite a bit harder.
Then give me another kiss.
As soon as I finished speaking, Eun-ha pressed her lips to mine more intensely. We had planned to make just one lap around that day, but we ended up walking for an hour before finally heading home.
