Chapter 87 – Park Seung-I
The school life that seemed to have started and ended with comfort was over, and Seung-i was heading to the cafe where he works with heavy steps.
Just yesterday, I was filled with happiness at the thought of finally being able to see Jaewon and ran towards the cafe with light, bouncy steps, but today was different.
The steps were so foreign that they were too heavy, yet light at the same time because he was happy to see Jae-won, who had become Seo-ah’s boyfriend instead of himself.
“Haa… “
Even when her her favorite older sister she congratulated her on finding a boyfriend, she felt so pathetic that she was only jealous of her lack of experience of her.
Rather, I was wondering if I could feel this way when I was the one who was in the way.
So, with a confused mind that seemed like it could never be sorted out, it seemed like it would still be difficult to meet Jaewon and Seoah, so I couldn’t bear to leave.
So, as soon as school was over, she received her smart phone and immediately contacted her boss to ask if she could just take the day off today.
They didn’t tell me the reason, and just said I wasn’t feeling well and that I had work to do, so I tried my best to get them some time off, but the problem was that the cafe was currently experiencing a serious shortage of manpower.
Seung-i was told and persuaded that Jae-won would have to take care of the cafe by herself for the day as there would be no one to work in her place if Seung-i suddenly had to take a break while all the part- time workers suddenly quit working, so Seung-i had no choice but to close her eyes and go to work just for today.
I don’t know anything else, but I can’t leave all the work at the cafe to Jaewon, who just started working there.
And it is said that she is paid more than her original hourly wage for the time being as a bribe for her to work hard until a part-time job is found.
Seung-i didn’t particularly like the tempting offer that he could earn more money by working together as usual, but he could only sigh deeply at the unavoidable situation.
Anyway, she has to go to work at the cafe for this reason.
Even though her head she knew, her body and mind she kept screaming that she didn’t want to go.
Therefore, Seungi walked as slowly as possible and headed towards her cafe.
“Are you a little late today?”
Just like that, Seung entered the cafe significantly later than the time she usually went to work.
Jaewon, who always welcomes her in the same way, spoke to her.
I came late on purpose because it was awkward to see. Without even knowing that, she just said, “It’s a little late,” And smiled at her, and Seungi was smiling like an idiot too.
Even though he had already become Seo-ah’s man, he hated himself for laughing like an idiot as soon as he saw Jae-won.
Even when he was at school, his younger siblings tried hard to make him feel better, and I felt so sorry for them.
“Win… ?”
She immediately changed her clothes and stood in front of the counter.
As soon as she came, she always stood up straight, went to the table where she was sitting, sat down on her chair, and kept talking with her mouth. But today, it was a little different than usual, and instead of doing that, she stood straight in front of the counter. She couldn’t hide her curiosity.
Furthermore, his expression she did not look very good, so there was a feeling of worry on his face her her.
“What’s going on?”
“No… “
Seungi smiled and shook his head.
Not only has his mind not calmed down yet, but he feels sorry for Seo-ah for what he did yesterday, so he just can’t bear to face her.
Likewise, since he couldn’t see Jaewon, he lowered his head as if he had committed a sin.
I don’t know when it will happen, but when Seung slowly gives up Jae-won, he acknowledges the relationship between the two, and supports them, maybe Seung will be able to act like he used to towards them.
The problem is that we don’t know how long it will take.
“Yeah… ?”
No matter how much he looked at it, he didn’t look well and Jaewon had a suspicious look on his face, but it didn’t seem like he would say anything if he asked, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
I just glanced at Seungi next to me.
“…”
For a moment, she felt happy at the sight of him worrying about her and felt like she was being treated as a precious person, but she seemed so funny and stupid.
I’m just quietly worried because the person I’m close with isn’t doing well, but I can’t believe he’s happy about that.
No matter how stupid and pure he was, it seemed like there would never be another person this stupid and pure.
‘This time… Time will tell…’
Seung smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
She began to work silently, believing that things that were absolutely impossible for her present self would probably be resolved by her future self, who had calmed down to some extent over time.
*
Before we knew it, the night began to fall.
The bright outside window suddenly became dark.
Perhaps because it was dinner time, a lot of people came during that time, but now that it was well past 9 o’clock, the inside of the cafe was completely empty as if it had never been so.
Normally, there would be no one at this time, but for some reason, today, I couldn’t even wipe my eyes and look for anyone else except Seo-ah, who was concentrating on studying with her book open, always occupying the same spot.
If this is the case, what can Jaewon do on his own?
She closes her eyes and says, like a selfish bitch, that she will go home first since there is no one around. If you act like a selfish person, Jaewon might hate you.
This will help ease your mind even a little.
However, the person named Park Seung was not a woman with the courage and viciousness to do such a thing without hesitation; it was just an imagination.
“…”
I didn’t notice it when they were busy with customers, but now Seo-ah and Jae-won are in a quiet store where not even customers can be found. There were three of us, so it was so uncomfortable that my throat felt stuffy.
It wouldn’t happen again, but it broke her heart to think that Jaewon was looking at her in a negative way, and in the same way, she felt like Seo-ah was thinking negatively about the fact that she had actively attacked her boyfriend , and she was on the verge of tears.
At that time, she was desperately waiting for time to pass quickly, holding on to her heart.
Grumbling.
Seo-ah pushed her chair back and stood up from her seat.
I’m sure I’ll have to go to the bathroom or ask for a second cup of coffee.
However, she was approaching, staring straight at her friend, whom she knew strangely enough.
“It’s a win.”
Her face, which was beauty itself at any time, turned to Seungi and gently opened her mouth.
“Yes…”
“…”
Compared to just yesterday, the line was so drawn, and at the extremely awkward answer, she frowned and closed her mouth.
“It’s a win.”
“Yes…”
The call continues again.
“What’s going on? It’s so different from yesterday.”
It was impossible for her not to know.
Although she didn’t mean to, she felt awkward and thought Seung-i was strange for showing off, and when she asked her a question, Seung-i couldn’t open his mouth for a moment, but then smiled and shook his head .
She tried her best to smile so as not to look strange, but was it still obvious?
Seo-ah’s expression she was becoming more and more frowning.
At the same time, without realizing it, she was watching Jae-won’s thoughts of her, so she caught what she knew and said,
“Let’s go out for a moment.”
“…”
Seung-i, who had no way of knowing about it, was worried because her anxious thoughts were flooding in, but he couldn’t do this forever and couldn’t hide it completely, so he just obediently followed her outside her her.
The place we arrived at was a place I don’t even want to remember.
This was the alley where Seo-ah and Jae-won were seen kissing.
“It’s a win.”
When they both settled down in the alley, Seo-ah carefully opened her mouth.
“What are you worried about? If you have any concerns, can you at least tell me? Maybe there’s something I can do to help?”
Although her face was ridiculously pretty and her expression her barely changed, Seo-ah was asking Seung-i for the first time with a worried expression.
I’m crying.
He was a monk who cried a lot because he was very sensitive.
Like this, until the end, she was jealous of Seo-ah, who thought and worried about her, and she was so ashamed and sorry that she had distanced herself from herself, as if she was angry at herself.
Because of that, her fragile heart she could not hold back any longer and she began to shed tears as if it were going to explode.
Then, without saying a word, A hugged Seungi’s slender body.
“Ugh… Ugh… Uh, sister… I’m sorry. I’m sorry… “
She just said repeatedly she was sorry.
“Why am I sorry? I’m not angry.”
She patted Seungi on the back and said she wasn’t angry, with a look on her face that showed she didn’t even know why she was sorry in the first place.
“I… I like you… “
“…”
However, with that one word, her movements stopped.
“She’s dating my sister… I shouldn’t feel this way… Huh…”
As she was criticizing herself and crying sadly like a child, she blankly looked at Seungi in her arms with a face that said she didn’t know what to do.
She had a rough idea that her boyfriend liked Jae-won, but she had no idea how to react to the fact that it was the truth and not just her illusions.
But for some reason, she wasn’t angry.
She was embarrassed, but what could it be? Seo-ah, who accepted this as if it was natural, found herself to be very strange.
So Seo-ah thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.
