Volume 5 2013 Chapter 879: Distance Creates Beauty
"Joo Hyun..."
Han Xiuya paused, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
"I know what you said makes sense, but what can I do? I just like him. Just now I even thought that even if I really encountered the situation you described, I would not give up. As for what to do specifically, I can only think about it when it really happens."
"But now, I believe in him and I believe in myself."
Bae Joo-hyun was determined.
"The relationship between us cannot be defined by simple comparison. He trusts me, respects me, cares about me, and even relies on me a little. I don't think I made a mistake in choosing him."
"Joo Hyun, I'm not telling you to give up. You don't have to prove anything."
Hearing the stubbornness in Bae Joo-hyun's words, Han Soo-ya spoke earnestly.
She didn't want this matter to turn into a fight of pride, and she didn't want Bae Joo-hyun to use her emotional happiness as a bargaining chip.
"I just hope you understand what your choice means. In fact, you are only 22 years old now, still very young, and you have many opportunities to choose. Even when making decisions, you can be more rational. But no matter what you choose, I will help you, and I will always stand on the same side with you."
"Nei~Kangsamita~"
The young lady nodded.
"Then just trust me and help me~"
"……All right……"
Han Xiu Ya understands her best friend.
Bae Joo-hyun looks weak and speaks in a soft voice, like a fragile vine that needs to rely on others to survive.
But in fact, she is not a vine, but a big tree.
Bae Joo-hyun has always been a person with her own ideas. Once she decides on something, she will not give up easily. She is a very opinionated and tenacious person.
It has been like this since I met her during my student days.
Whether it was rejecting a large number of suitors at the time, or taking the initiative to make friends with herself, or even deciding to be a trainee despite her parents' opposition.
These were all her own decisions, and she eventually made them.
Han Xiuya is very clear about being a trainee.
Pei's father was strongly opposed at first, but Pei Zhuxuan never gave up.
Finally, she convinced her father to agree to participate in the audition after graduating from high school. After a failed audition, she finally passed SM's trainee audition at the "advanced age" of 18 and became a formal trainee.
Bae Joo-hyun just looks weak.
This time, I am afraid I can't change her mind. As a best friend, I must help her, even if I am worried.
Because this is Bae Joo-hyun's choice.
…
…
Since I can't stop it, I can only help. Going down this path to the end is also an option. Han Xiuya began to think of ways to solve the young lady's confusion.
"You two are very close?"
"Um."
"But he doesn't know you like him."
"Um."
"Why doesn't he know? Since you two are so close, you should have some feelings, right?"
Han Xiuya was a little confused.
"Haoyan...Haoyan probably didn't even think about it in this way..."
Bae Joo-hyun pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless.
"He has always treated me as his sister. Although we are very close, respectful, and even have no sense of distance, to him, I am just a very close sister..."
"Because he has a girlfriend?"
“That should be it.”
"Strong sense of morality and strict self-discipline. He is indeed an elite."
"That's true, but there are also bad things. Sometimes I really am like a piece of wood..."
"Yeah, it's really hard for you to force our Shenyan Pei Baicai to kiss you secretly by forcing you to drink..."
"Then what should I do~"
Although she was blushing from the teasing by her bestie, the young lady still gave it her all today.
Anyway, there has to be a solution. This won't work.
"You have been living together, and he goes to the company to pick you up from get off work every night?"
"Well, I go whenever I have time, and I rarely miss it."
"Oh~ Where's the good brother~ Too bad some people don't want a good brother, they just want a good oppa~"
“…”
Pei Baicai started glaring at people again.
"Ahem... I think~ He's used to you being around, so he won't think about anything else."
Han Xiuya felt that she had found the problem.
"What's the meaning?"
The young lady didn't understand.
"Look, you live together, cook and do housework together, and have family activities and topics together. You are like a family member to him. Even though you are a beautiful sister, you are just a sister because you are too close to each other."
Purple's friend gave a very clear and logical analysis.
"Distance creates beauty, but the distance between you and Yi Haoyan is so close. No matter how beautiful you are, he is used to it. He ignores you every day, so of course he won't have any other thoughts."
"Is that so?"
The young lady actually didn’t quite believe it.
She still remembered how the boy had been amazed by her dress and makeup several times. How could she have gotten used to it?
Is the boy who praises himself for being pretty every day lying?
It doesn't feel like it.
But my best friend's conclusion seems to be somewhat convincing.
Yi Haoyan did treat her a bit like family; he was warm and caring, with complete trust and support, but it lacked the excitement and ambiguity that exists between young men and women.
Simply put, no calls!
"I told you that you are a child bride! It's because you took care of him too much that this happened."
Han Xiuya still couldn't help but complain.
"If you don't believe me, you can do an experiment and you will know after you try it."
"What experiment?"
"It's simple. Don't you want to clarify the status of your relationship? Then try going back to Seoul later during the New Year."
"Eh? What does this mean?"
"If he treats you as a family member, he will ask you the reason and even come to pick you up. Because as a family member, he should care about any problems that arise."
"What if Haoyan doesn't care?"
"Then don't worry, he doesn't have you in his heart."
“…”
Pei Zhuxuan was speechless.
"This experiment... no matter what the result is, it doesn't seem to be very good~"
Whether being ignored or being treated as a relative, it is not the result that the young lady wants.
But what Han Xiuya said does sound reasonable.
At this point... it seems... there is no other way...
…
…
So, during the Chinese New Year, Bae Joo-hyun deliberately delayed for a few days.
Then Yi Haoyan really came.
The young lady was both happy and a little conflicted.
The good thing is that Haoyan cares about her.
The confusing thing is that he cares because he treats me as a family member.
But she just wanted to be a lover.
…
Then, there was the scene where Han Xiuya said goodbye at the intersection.
"Well? Was I right?"
Purple's friend was showing off while trying to see what the lover that Bae Joo-hyun was obsessed with looked like, but unfortunately Yi Hao-yen didn't get out of the car, so she didn't get what she wanted.
"Well...but...I can't be happy at all..."
Bae Joo-hyun smiled reluctantly, with mixed feelings.
"It doesn't matter. Family is just his definition of relationship. It's not like it can't be changed."
Han Xiuya didn't care and seemed to be prepared.
"What's the meaning?"
The young lady's eyes lit up.
"Our Zhu Xuan is treated as a family member because we care too much. People are like this. The more familiar they are, the easier it is to ignore them. Look, if you keep a little distance, this young master will react, right?"
Han Xiu Ya looked at her best friend with a smile.
"What if, I mean, the distance between you two could be increased a little bit?"
“…”
"What would it be like if you were no longer with him, living with him every day, taking care of him?"
"Then, will he distance himself from me?"
Bae Joo-hyun understood her friend's thinking, but was a little worried.
"What do you think?"
Thinking about the boy rushing to Daegu to pick her up, Bae Joo Hyun felt that this possibility...
Very low.
"So, I think you can consider moving out."
Han Xiuya took a look at the car and came up with an idea.
“You don’t have to move out immediately, but you have to move in this direction, step by step, so that this young master can slowly feel the pain of losing you, and gradually become aware of your existence.
"But keeping your distance doesn't mean cutting off contact. You are still his little sister and you can come back from time to time, but we no longer live together on a regular basis.
"When you create distance, beauty will appear, and then his feelings towards you may change."
“…”
This time, Bae Joo-hyun really hesitated.
Moving out is a big deal.
Pei Zhuxuan has always felt that her biggest advantage over Quan Enfei is that she can spend every day with Yi Haoyan, but now she has to move out...
Um……
Not to mention whether Yi Haoyan would agree, the young lady herself doubted whether this would be useful.
"Oh! Stop imagining! Where did Bae Joo Hyun go who was so determined just now? You won't go wrong if you listen to me!"
Han Xiuya was very decisive at this time.
"I'm just asking you to make the request first, not moving out immediately? And I'm not cutting off contact with you either. What's there to hesitate about?
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. There are ways to fall in love. It's not that you can just throw your heart out and it won't work!"
That's true.
At least compared to Bae Joo-hyun who was secretly in love with her, Han Soo-ya managed her relationship very well.
"Well...well..."
At this point, Bae Joo-hyun can only give it a try.
