The original Korean paragraph contains 30 lines. Here is the English translation, maintaining the exact same number of lines:
“Do you want something to drink? Beer? Or tea?”
Wanting to talk in a quiet place, Lee Soo brought Ji-ho to her house.
It wasn’t their first time, so despite it being late at night, it didn’t feel awkward.
But that was only what Lee Soo thought.
“I’ll have a beer.”
Something about Lee Soo’s determined expression made Ji-ho anxious.
He wondered if, like last time, he had unwittingly caused a misunderstanding or made a mistake.
It was his third visit to Lee Soo’s house, but he had never felt comfortable.
Either Lee Soo was hurt, angry, or, like today, had a serious expression.
He never had the chance to feel relaxed entering his girlfriend’s house.
Sitting side by side on the sofa, Lee Soo handed him a beer.
He popped open the can and quenched his thirst with the cold beer.
Lee Soo put her beer on the table and turned to face Ji-ho completely.
She wanted to see once more the affectionate look in Ji-ho’s eyes that had encouraged her to confess.
“Talk to me. I’ll listen to anything.”
After drinking half his beer, Ji-ho also turned to face Lee Soo.
“Phew…”
Lee Soo took a deep breath and slowly raised her head.
“The thing I’m about to tell you… I didn’t want to say it at all. That’s why I haven’t told anyone before…”
She paused and then continued.
“I’ve always felt uncomfortable hiding this from you. I’m sorry I didn’t say it sooner. I should have from the start, but I kept putting it off because I didn’t have the courage.”
Ji-ho, not knowing what she was about to confess, felt incredibly anxious.
What could she be about to say that required such a long prelude and made her so nervous?
Lee Soo opened her mouth after taking a deep breath.
“My mom lives in London. On the day we first met on the plane, I was returning from visiting her.”
Ji-ho nodded in response.
“My parents divorced when I was young. Initially, I lived with my mom, but she moved to London when I was in the ninth grade to care for my grandmother who fell ill. Since then, I’ve lived with my dad.”
Ji-ho gently held Lee Soo’s hand as she spoke calmly.
“My dad remarried after divorcing my mom and…”
Lee Soo’s voice trailed off into a deep sigh.
It wasn’t hard to talk about this part, but it felt scratchy in her throat to bring up what came next.
Taking another deep breath, Lee Soo continued.
“My dad’s new wife has a daughter around my age.”
Ji-ho’s grip on her hand tightened unintentionally.
Struggling to continue, Lee Soo bit her lower lip before releasing it.
“That daughter is… Yoo-mi. Jung Yoo-mi. The sister you know well.”
Lee Soo closed her eyes tightly, then opened them and uttered the final words in a trembling voice.
It felt like she was unloading a heavy stone she had been carrying in her heart.
There was a sense of relief but also emptiness.
Why had it been so hard to say something that wasn’t wrong or shameful?
“Ah…”
In the silence that followed Lee Soo’s confession, Ji-ho’s low voice sounded lost.
The heavy air seemed to press down on them both.
“I wonder if you’ll listen to what I have to say… It’s not just about serving at the bar, but I’m not even sure if he’ll come to the pub that day.”
Ha Joon looked uncertain. He knew Ji Ho well enough to know that he wouldn’t just do something because he was told to.
“Then call him right now and ask.”
All eyes turned to Ha Joon, who sighed deeply and took out his phone to call Ji Ho. After a few rings, Ji Ho’s voice came through.
[Yeah, what’s up?]“Hey, Ji Ho. You know our club is running a pub, right?”
[Yeah.]“We’re dividing roles among us right now. So, I was wondering… if you could help with serving that day.”
[…]Ji Ho was in the middle of a meeting with Hyung Ju, working on the arrangement for a song he had recently composed. He had already released several songs, but he always consulted with Hyung Ju for each new piece.
In the middle of their serious discussion, Ha Joon’s call came, and Ji Ho let out a laugh.
‘Me, serving at a pub?’
“I guess everyone wants you there.”
[Let me think about it.]“Alright. Think about it and let me know. Bye then.”
Ha Joon wanted to add that Soo was also participating but couldn’t say it out loud with all his peers watching.
“You heard him. Ji Ho said he would think about it.”
“No matter what, just bring him on the day. If he just shows up, we can handle the rest.”
Regardless of Ji Ho’s response, his peers left the responsibility to Ha Joon and ended the meeting early.
As Ha Joon was about to leave, he approached Soo.
“Soo.”
“Yeah?”
“It’s about Ji Ho helping with serving. Can you just ask him?”
“Me? I don’t think Ji Ho would do that.”
Soo couldn’t imagine Ji Ho carrying drinks and snacks around a pub.
“No, I think if he knows you’re participating, he’ll agree right away.”
Ha Joon knew Ji Ho well enough to say that he would do many things he normally wouldn’t, just for Soo. Even serving at a pub, something Ji Ho would never consider, seemed possible if Soo was involved.
