Chapter 35: Lovers Reunion: Part 4

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Isak, that idiot…why didn't he tell me? he had a girlfriend and hid it?

…seriously, had I known, maybe this wouldn't be a misunderstanding. 

However, there could be a possibility of her lying. Though… I want to believe she is not.

—I could tell that Isak was somewhat lonely. 

I…didn't want to say this myself. But the dynamic in our group is very unbalanced. I kid you not.

Though… he did seem to have gotten along with Julia as of late—he was scolding her.

—something I couldn't bring myself to do…

…I honestly had a thought. And I know it's disingenuous to Julia's feelings.

But…

Perhaps if I chose Hilda, she could get over me and start over with Isak. I mean…he is an attractive guy.

Yet…when I look at this girl, I feel pity. I couldn't save her—even though she just thanked me.
