I Hear Strange Noises in the Health Room. 295

Chapter 295 – 57. Excuses

.

It’s a little past time for it to get chilly at night.

I lightly breathed in the warm night air of late April and continued my thoughts as I glanced at Seo Woo-jin walking with me among the crowd.

I got the perfume he was going to give to his girlfriend instead.

It’s a good story up to this point.

First, it’s a gift, so there’s no reason to feel bad.

Since I don’t have the habit of buying and spraying perfume, there’s no reason to say it’s a good thing.

But why am I feeling so glum right now?

Why do unknown emotions bloom arbitrarily in this perfume?

It’s the same as last time.

Annoying.

Lament.

Disgust.

No matter what letters I thought would fit, I didn’t like it.

I thought I knew my feelings best and that only I knew.

It’s to the point where vivid gold is engraved into that faith.

“…”

But then,

Where did it go wrong to become so confused?

“Haa…”

I let out the night air I had breathed in like a sigh, frowned slightly, and squeezed the handle of the paper bag.

Nevertheless, the gaps in the paper bag were not completely covered, so the perfume that I had chosen with Seo Woo Jin a little while ago was peeking out through them.

EDT or EDP.

I’ve already forgotten the brief explanation I heard about which perfume is better.

The name of the perfume I paid for was also in French, which I hadn’t studied, so it just volatilized in my head.

However, the scent of that perfume still vaguely remained in my memory.

It’s a given.

After smelling the scent, I recommended it because I thought it would be a good scent to give as a gift.

In other words, with a scent I like…, … Because it’s perfume.

If you get it as a gift from a man who doesn’t particularly like that type of perfume,

What emotion is most appropriate to feel?

… I didn’t think it was a good feeling.

There is a possibility that it is a good feeling.

Do you have enough fingernails?

For example…, That…

“What are you doing?”

“… Ah.”

So, before I knew it, I was in the middle of lowering my head and continuing to think.

I came to my senses thanks to a faint pulling sensation from the side, and only then did I look ahead.

There was a red traffic light in front of me.

“Are you very tired? I don’t think it’s that late yet.”

“… I guess it’s because I kept walking. There were things that bothered me.”

“Oh, indeed.”

To be honest, I wasn’t tired.

There was something that bothered me, but it wasn’t enough to affect me this much.

It’s just, actually, it’s all because of you.

It’s because you give me a headache.

… Since I couldn’t say that, I waved my arms and got away from Seo Woo Jin with an appropriate excuse.

The sleeve of my clothes, which had been gently held, fell out of his grasp.

“Then should I take a taxi instead? I think the subway will be more tiring.”

“… That’s it. What kind of taxi is a waste of money. And look at the number of people today. Will you be able to catch a taxi in a place like this?”

The green light just changes.

I walked to the crosswalk one step ahead of Seo Woo Jin and continued my thoughts with the sound of his footsteps behind me.

Good feelings.

These are definitely not feelings worth conveying to Seo Woo Jin, a man who pretends to be fine on the outside but only has women in his head.

Hasn’t it always been the same even recently?

Before I had to talk a lot due to an unexpected ‘accident’, I was completely indifferent to myself.

After getting closer, I was half indifferent. Treating me with half the playfulness.

… After I was caught masturbating while smelling the body odor left on my shirt,

Being asked for various things.

Therapy… And.

It is a structure that cannot be created without good feelings.

Nevertheless, if we assume that you really have good feelings for him.

… This help that happened today is probably the cause.

The name of that emotion is.

At least.

Wouldn’t it be appropriate to use the word ‘thank you’, which I expressed so casually just a moment ago?

If we slightly twist the interpretation of what has happened so far, we can say that, unlike Yoo Si-woo, he was somewhat indifferent to me, which I was thankful for.

Even after witnessing the unsightly sight, instead of threatening me, he did something pleasant for a moment… I just did it.

You even used your time to help me this time.

So, even to that trashy man.

… The level of gratitude.

You can feel it.

Like Stockholm Syndrome, I’m not doing this because I’m crazy.

… It’s reasonable.

But it’s only because of ‘gratitude’.

Isn’t something lacking?

“…”

“…”

As I go up the escalator at the subway station, the sounds that surrounded my ears fade away one by one.

The sound of a car speeding down the road.

The unique buzz that filled the downtown area.

The sound of music coming from various stores.

The sound of several people busking was louder than the sound of the music.

When they all disappear, what remains is,

The subtle mechanical sound of the escalator machine operating.

“…”

Never heard of it before.

The sound of my heart was everything.

“Well, the subway is coming so go quickly. … Quickly.”

After mentioning the information once more, which I could have known with just my eyes anyway, I walked away, embarrassed by the puzzling feeling.

The inside of my chest is pounding randomly.

It wasn’t my first time experiencing this.

That’s what I often do when I’m horny…

No, it was something that was bound to happen.

But unlike then, my body is very fine now.

Rather than being as hot as fire, my entire body was no different from normal body temperature.

At that time, I felt a tingling sensation when the fabric gently brushed against my skin, but now I don’t feel any pain as usual.

The same goes for the sexual desire that boiled over and caused trouble.

I didn’t feel the urge to go somewhere dark with Seo Woo Jin right away.

My heart was just pounding.

It’s too late to explain and move on because I felt grateful.

So much so that I can’t understand it.

*****

As luck would have it, there were quite a few empty seats on the subway after people had flowed out like the tide.

Thanks to that, Seo Woo Jin and I were able to sit at the edge of the seats comfortably instead of standing.

Of course, there are not enough seats, so the limit is to sit with our shoulders pressed tightly together…

It’s not like our bare skin is touching each other, so this is okay.

Because I know from experience that it doesn’t really have any effect unless it touches you directly.

The only thing I’m worried about is that the unidentifiable pounding inside my chest is getting louder.

… To exaggerate, it felt like it was going to pop out of my throat, but luckily Seo Woo Jin right next to me seemed oblivious.

Maybe I’m tired, and I close my eyes for a moment.

Another woman… Send and receive chats.

He must have noticed my gaze, and all he did was whisper to me and tell me to stop stealing.

… Every time, my heart pounded so hard that my eardrums trembled, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

“…”

Is this really a chemical reaction that started for the sole reason of ‘thank you’?

… There are other reasons,

Isn’t it possible?

-This station is Euljiro 3-ga, Euljiro 3-ga…

I sat quietly with Seo Woo Jin without much conversation, and before I knew it, the announcement started mentioning the station where I had to change subways.

I was leaning against the edge of the seat, holding the paper bag I had received as a gift, hesitantly poking the forearm next to me and kissing my lips.

“… I’m getting off here.”

“Huh? Ah, yes. Thank you for your hard work. See you tomorrow.”

“…”

He said goodbye with a gentle smile, just as he did to other students.

… In reality, he is a very indifferent and cold person, but he puts on an unpleasant mask that he only shows when socializing.

You must have become quite familiar with that masked face by now.

I stared at his face with a strange sense of discomfort.

If it were my usual self, I would have stood up and broken up with Seo Woo Jin without any regrets,

Today was a worthwhile day.

Yoo Si-woo, are you going to live in moderation starting tomorrow?

You must have changed trains while thinking like that.

But today I didn’t even like that pretense.

It’s okay to be honest in front of me.

We already know everything anyway.

… Treatment too.

Sex too.

We’ve done it twice.

“… I’m getting off here.”

Maybe that was why.

Before I knew it, my lips were reciting what I had just said before I could even finish my thought.

Thanks to that, the corners of Seo Woo Jin’s mouth, which had been gently pulled up, slightly sank.

Thanks to that, my heart, which was already pounding, started beating a little faster.

As if we were one step closer to the correct answer.

“… So why? Goodbye, do you want me to say something like that?”

“That’s no different from what I said earlier.”

“Then what do you want to hear?”

“…”

I don’t know.

If I had to ask, it would be an honest statement.

But if you think about it that way, that statement about seeing you tomorrow must actually be more than 90% sincere.

What kind of answer was I hoping for that made me add such a sharp comment?

“…”

… Perhaps.

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

What I arbitrarily thought were ‘Seo Woo Jin’s sincerity’.

Maybe that’s what I’m hoping for.

-The door to get off is on the right…

“Enough of the strange comments, get up early. There are a lot of people, so I might not be able to get off.”

Then what I want to hear is.

No, it’s not me who only has feelings of gratitude,

Even slightly different emotions were mixed.

What this sexy body wants to hear.

Maybe this is it.

“Over there…”

“Yes.”

“… Would you like it if I just went on like this?”

Outside the pitch-black subway window, a white platform appeared.

Since I didn’t want to look to the side, I just stared at him and continued talking.

“The vice president of the student body said the same thing earlier. He was drinking with his friends.”

“…”

“… We don’t do that?”

“…”

“It’s not too late, so I just grab a can of beer at the convenience store… Or something like that…”

The scene of the platform passing quickly gradually becomes slower.

Where is this station?

Where is the door to get off?

The sound of subway brakes covers the announcement I heard just a moment ago.

“Ha, not if you don’t want to do it. I just… I just… Want Yu Si-woo to be jealous, upset, or something like that…”

“…”

“If the smell of alcohol remains on my body, he will have strange imaginations on his own…”

“…”

“… No, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. I’m leaving.”

The flowing scene stops.

The door opens with the music of the announcement.

It’s embarrassing.

The only emotion left in my head was that.

Because the feelings I feel towards Seo Woo Jin right now are not my real feelings.

Because I have to say no.

After all, since I am a nine-tailed fox, something strange got in the way of my pure gratitude.

So, instead of Seo Woojin not answering, I ended the situation and tried to walk out, following the people rushing out.

“…”

… Even if Seo Woo Jin hadn’t grabbed my wrist as I tried to get up.

Clearly.
