Even If It’s Not Love Chapter 75.1
"Yeah."

As Woo-hyun answered shortly after, as if he

had given up, Yoo-hwa was speechless at his
reply.

"When I asked if you were home, you said

yes. Even then... you were doing this? No.
Wait. Sometimes your clothes were the same
the next morning. Even then, don't tell me..."

"..."

Woo-hyun didn't say anything.

"Why were you doing this?"

Yoo-hwa asked, quickly scanning his

expression. Then, she thought.

This is why his face always looked haggard.

Even after they started seeing each other

again, Woo-hyun often showed a tired face.
She thought it was because he had a lot of
work and traveled all the way here every day,
but there was another hidden reason.

The upset Yoo-hwa stared at Woo-hyun as if

she was hoping for an answer. Woo-hyun
stared down at Yoo-hwa, silently. There were
a lot of emotions in his silent gaze.

He slowly raised his hand and touched her

face, just as he had confirmed her existence
one day. Finally, the tips of Woo-hyun's
fingers, which had flowed down the line of
her face, reached her chin and remained
there, as he was unable to remove his hand.

"I'm afraid I'll wake up."

"..."

"Sometimes when I'm at your house, it feels

like a dream."

"..."

"I stayed here until I accepted that it was

reality. And when I did, sometimes it was
already morning."

"..."

"I was also afraid that you might experience

something bad without me knowing. There is
no place that is 100% safe."

Yoo-hwa's head lowered gradually at Woo-

hyun's calm words.

When they met again, Woo-hyun acted

naturally and showed a comfortable
expression, so she thought everything was
fine. But he was alone in this uncertainty.

"What felt like a dream? What made you

uneasy?"

Woo-hyun's face crumpled at the question

that Yoo-hwa, who was choking up on
emotions, was barely able to ask. After
looking at the weak expression he had seen
when they parted, he opened his lips.

"Meeting you was like a dream. I was anxious

that the distance between us wouldn't
narrow."

Woo-hyun's eyes sank. As the cool spring

breeze blew, the hair covering his forehead
fluttered lightly. Despite the pleasant wind,
Woo-hyun's face became more and more
disordered.

"It's really easy to get people's favor, but I

don't know what to do when it comes to
you."

"..."

"... It's difficult because I'm being sincere."

"..."

"What should I do? How can I make you feel

as comfortable as before?"

Woo-hyun's crumpled face made Yoo-hwa

suffocate. She knew that Woo-hyun felt
uncomfortable whenever she treated him
politely and cautiously. But he was not feeling
uncomfortable, he was feeling insecure.

"Let's live together."

So... that's why he said that.

He thought he should at least do that.

Because if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to

escape this anxiety forever.

Her own caution and hesitation made him

uneasy and impatient. She didn't mean that,
but she had no choice but to be careful. They
gave each other a lot of wounds, and she
was afraid that any word or action could
touch those wounds.

However, this prudence made Woo-hyun

anxious and lonely.

Everything seemed clear now, as if a fog that

was obscuring her vision had dissipated.

Yoo-hwa's confused gaze reached the

butterfly knot on Woo-hyun's sneakers.

"Woo-hyun."

Perhaps what they needed was not caution

so as not to touch each other's wounds, but
the conviction that they could confirm each
other's feelings. There may be many ways to
convince each other, but right now, only one
came to mind.

"... Do you want to sleep together?"

It was the only way to show each other's bare

faces in the most revealing way.

Although her lips moved on their own, she

didn't regret it.

Yoo-hwa, who raised her head, stared

straight at Woo-hyun, who was tinged by the
streetlights. He looked at her with an
expression as if he had heard wrong. For
some reason, he looked silly and pitiable.

"Let's go to sleep."

She said it again as if to reassure him.

The petals that had been fluttering at their

feet due to the wind disappeared to
someplace far away. The only ones left there
were Yoo-hwa and Woo-hyun, who
understood what she said.

***

Yoo-hwa's steps as she entered the house

were awkward. The sound of footsteps
behind her made her nervous. She reached
out and groped the wall to find the switch.
She couldn't find where the switch was due
to Woo-hyun's shadow being cast. Because
of that, her hands were wandering around
and touching the wrong places.

Woo-hyun's big hand, which held her hand

groping the wall, stood out exceptionally pale
in the light that came in through the closing
door. Then, the door closed, and darkness
pushed in. Looking at the wall, Yoo-hwa's
face turned blank.

She could not breathe as soon as she felt

Woo-hyun's firm arms that hugged her from
behind, the hand that wrapped around her
wrist, and the chest that touched her back.

"You don't have to turn it on."

Woo-hyun's low voice gave her goosebumps,

as if she had a premonition of something.
She wanted to lower her arm, but she
couldn't move because she was held by
Woo-hyun.
