Chapter 140 – 140 – Empathy
#
“…Sir?…”
What?
What did you hear…
“Platoon commander.”
Well? Am I talking
“Uh…Um?”
Seoyeon frantically opens her eyes to see properly.
The blurred vision became clearer, and he saw a man holding his shoulder.
“Hey!”
Seo-yeon is surprised because the distance between the two is quite close.
Seoyeon instinctively pushed the man’s chest with both hands to drop her body.
“Seo Woo-jin! You… You you you…! What… What are you doing?”
Seo-yeon wrapped her arms around her chest and looked back.
It was similar to the posture of a heroine trying to hide her body in media such as manga or anime.
“Shhh!”
Unlike the shy Seoyeon, Woojin is calm.
Woojin stretched out his index finger and placed it on his mouth as a gesture asking him to be quiet.
Then, Woojin pointed out the administrative board with his thumb and drew an x with both arms.
Roughly translated, it was saying, ‘If it’s noisy, people will come from outside, so be quiet.’
Seo-yeon notices the gesture and calms down her excitement.
Woojin noticed that Seoyeon had calmed down and finally opened her mouth.
“Don’t you remember?”
“What?…”
“I asked what was going on, but he suddenly started crying…”
Seoyeon started to think of something at Woojin’s words.
“I’m about to drop the platoon commander, so didn’t you want to stay like this for a while?”
Seoyeon began to feel ashamed of her actions earlier.
Because she suddenly remembered her own actions.
“So I stayed still, and the platoon commander…”
“Stop! Stop!”
In the end, Seo-yeon, who could not stand it, made Woo-jin quiet.
Suddenly, Seoyeon’s face turned red, even her ears.
“I remember everything. So stop…”
There was something distorted in Woojin’s words, but Seoyeon, who was confused, had no time to refute.
“So what are you doing?”
“Huh?… It’s nothing…”
“Is it really nothing? If you’re crying so sadly, I think something happened…”
“When did I cry sadly!… Nope.”
Seo-yeon tried to cut her off, ignoring her Woo-jin.
By the way…
“Ugh!… My heart!”
Woo-jin suddenly grabs her breasts.
“The platoon commander pushed me too hard…Ugh…”
Seo-yeon knew that those words were meant to arouse her guilt and make her confess.
That’s why she kept trying to ignore it.
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. But like I said before, I said it because it seemed too difficult. Wouldn’t it be better to share it with others than to suffer alone?”
Seo-yeon stares blankly at Woo-jin.
“The king’s ears are cool like a fairy tale called donkey ears… No, are these a little different? Anyway, even if I can’t give advice or advice, I can sympathize with the platoon commander’s words.”
“…”
Seoyeon was troubled.
Whether or not to tell her about her own breakup…
“Why don’t you just talk to me calmly?”
As Woo-jin said, it was difficult to suffer alone, and should I say revenge? She wanted to spread widely that her boyfriend, Kim Joo-won, was trash.
Even the year of that junior, I got into trouble.
However, since Seoyeon is not a child, she was a bit ignorant of swearing or blaming, and I wondered if it would be okay for her to receive sympathy from others.
“…Okay. Instead, only you know?”
Seo-yeon decided to tell Woo-jin what had happened.
…
…
Woojin was worried about Seoyeon, but
In fact, I asked because of the psychology that I want to hear anything because the time is too boring.
What’s going on in the house in the first place? Or maybe you had a fight with your boyfriend…
“To put it all together, I was blown away…”
As she listened to the story, it was a story that seemed more serious than she thought.
“Platoon commander’s boyfriend is garbage… Isn’t he a bastard?”
Woo-jin sympathizes with Seo-yeon.
It was not a superficial empathy, but a sympathy that came from deep in the heart.
I heard that Seoyeon’s boyfriend had been dating another woman without Seoyeon’s knowledge for several months.
In the case of Sang-woo, her own close successor, only the genders of the victim and the perpetrator were changed.
Woo-jin was about to say that Sang-woo had suffered the same damage, but she didn’t because she thought it was inappropriate to put someone else’s wounds on cuba.
Instead, I decided to empathize as much as possible with her sincerity.
“If it were me, I wouldn’t end it the way I did. Why didn’t you hit the other side?”
“Ha… So, as you said, you should have slapped the other cheek as well…”
Seo-yeon spreads her palms and slaps her in the air.
Seeing the swishing sound, it looked really painful when hit.
‘Well… It hurt even when I pushed it earlier.’
I pretended to be sick earlier to listen to what Seoyeon had to say, but it actually hurt quite a bit.
I didn’t know exactly when it hit, but later the aftermath came slowly…
At this level, did Woojin’s sincere sympathy work?
Seoyeon’s expression was much brighter than before.
After all, the saying that humans are empathetic animals seems to be true.
“I wonder if you met me before I met you, that junior girl… No, you said it was full of the smell of a woman?”
“Smell?”
Come to think of it, our platoon commander seemed to have a very good nose.
“Does the platoon commander have a good sense of smell? The other day, when I was resting in the dormitory, I think you said you found me by smell…”
So she asked her questions.
“Hmm… I guess that’s the way it is. Are you just slightly more sensitive than others?”
Seo-yeon tapping her nose.
“Does it make sense that the platoon leader is not a dog and is looking for people by smell? How sensitive is your sense of smell?”
“I am not that sensitive. What should I do? It may sound a little strange, but you smell a lot.”
Seoyeon sniffs.
It looked like a puppy.
I don’t know the breed, but the unique sharp impression was added to it, and it felt like a loyal dog.
Surprised by Seo-yeon’s actions and words, Woo-jin moved around and sniffed it, but there was no smell.
Realizing that she couldn’t smell her own smell, Woo-jin asked Seo-yeon if she smelled too much.
“Yeah, quite… I can still smell it.”
“…”
No matter how sensitive your sense of smell is, if it smells enough to find you by smell, it’s serious…
But that didn’t mean Woojin didn’t wash.
Rather, because of the platoon commander’s remarks about the smell in the past, he was paying more attention to hygiene.
‘I must have taken a shower earlier…’
Woojin took a shower 30 minutes before being put on duty.
It’s been quite a while since then, but I didn’t sweat much, but the smell was quite a serious problem.
“Should I wash it more thoroughly so that it doesn’t smell?”
“That smell won’t go away no matter how much you shower?”
Doesn’t the smell go away even after showering?
“Maybe… I smell like a widower… Or that man?”
“What are you talking about?”
Woojin was shocked.
With that said, it was natural that he couldn’t take it.
Anyway, I thought it smelled like a man…
“Don’t worry too much. It doesn’t smell that bad.”
“No, isn’t it very serious if it smells like a widower enough to find a person by smell!?”
Seoyeon saw Woojin’s shocked expression and corrected her words to calm her down.
“Because I’m sensitive… Don’t worry too much. And rather than the smell of a widower, it’s pheromone… Yes, pheromone.”
“Isn’t that what it is!”
Seo-yeon’s words don’t comfort Woo-jin at all.
It was because the formula, widower smell = man smell = male pheromone, was injected into Woojin’s head.
…
…
The situation where the person who was comforted and comforted was reversed.
“That… Well…”
Seoyeon pondered over what she should say.
“Ah! Calm down for a second. I’ll tell you what it smells like.”
Then, as if she remembered something, she calmed her down and went on with her words.
“I can’t describe it. Does it really smell like a man? But it’s not a bad smell. The more you smell it, the more you want to smell it? Yes, I think this word is the most appropriate.”
Seo-yeon told Woo-jin to be less shocked by purifying herself as much as possible.
I was purified, but what I said was true.
Especially, the more you smell it, the more you want to smell it.
This part really told the truth.
“And. Um… There’s only men here, right? I’m the only woman Most of the other kids have an unpleasant smell, but you have a nice smell that is different from that. So… It’s not as weird and unpleasant a smell as you fear.”
Seoyeon nodded.
It was an action that I thought I had said with enough consideration.
“Did you like that, Platoon Commander?”
Woo-jin looks at himself strangely, disregarding Seo-yeon’s consideration.
“Hey! Even if you tell me this… Ha…”
Seo-yeon was dumbfounded when she saw Woo-jin’s attitude.
“Really… Doesn’t it really smell like a widower?”
Woojin asked Seoyeon again with a serious attitude, whether it was a joke.
Are you sure you don’t smell strange?
“Really. You said Unlike the other kids, it’s a smell I want to keep smelling.”
“…”
Two people in silence.
“Oh, so you said goodbye earlier…”
“No!”
Seoyeon gets angry.
Woo-jin found Seo-yeon’s reaction and how it was funny, but he stopped thinking that her smell fetish was a land mine.
“Huh… I trust you this time.”
“Haa… Do whatever you want.”
…
…
Anyway, let’s leave the topic of smell up to here.
The two returned to the subject of empathy again.
The two continued their conversation by talking to each other.
Seo-yeon cursed at her ex-boyfriend, and Woo-jin sincerely sympathized with Seo-yeon’s words.
In Woojin’s case, the resolution was a little different, but it was possible because she had memories of being betrayed by someone she liked.
…
The sympathy talk between Seoyeon and Woojin lasted quite a bit longer than expected.
“Shall we talk about this? I’ve already chewed everything I could, and I’m feeling a little better.”
“I think that would be good.”
When I woke up, it was 4 in the morning.
As Seoyeon said, she chewed enough.
“Thanks. For comforting me this far It must have been hard to listen and respond…”
Rather than consolation (?), It was chewing on Seoyeon’s ex-boyfriend together, but if you feel it as consolation…
Good is good
“No. To be honest, I didn’t feel too immersed in it, so it’s a bit hard to say this, but it was an interesting story.”
“Heh. What is it?”
Seoyeon laughs at Woojin’s words.
Anyway, the friendly (?) Gossip ended like this.
“Then I will go to the bathroom.”
Woo-jin hurriedly stood up as if he had been holding back while we were talking.
“Uh. Yes.”
Woojin left the administrative unit and headed to the bathroom.
…
…
Seo-yeon is left alone in the administrative class.
“Oooh!”
Seoyeon got up from her seat and stretched her.
Her body ached from sitting and talking for a long time.
“Whoa… Just like he said, it makes me feel at ease.”
It wasn’t that there were no sad and unfair feelings, but as we talked and shared our pain, our hearts became much lighter.
To be honest, I didn’t expect Woojin to sympathize with me this much.
Joo Won, who was my boyfriend, couldn’t communicate this well, but…
“Can I buy you something later?”
The two were pretty close before, but it seems like they’ve gotten even closer starting today.
Seoyeon especially felt that way.
Shall we call it resistance to the opposite sex because our heart is weakened by the breakup?
Seo-yeon’s liking for Woo-jin has gone up.
It’s a little different story, but the smell is also a taste.
“Shall we just transfer?”
Not right now, after being discharged in two months?
I wondered if it wouldn’t matter if they were both ordinary people.
As I said before, it’s not too far from where I live…
“Ah… Come to think of it, did you say Woojin has a girlfriend?”
I haven’t heard it myself, but
According to rumors circulating in the company, I heard that Woojin’s girlfriend is quite beautiful.
“Did she say she was a model?”
I thought that a good man like that deserves to meet a good enough woman.
“Weird thoughts end here!”
Seoyeon hits both of her cheeks.
To be honest, I thought it would be okay if I decorated myself, but it wasn’t as good as a model.
The transfer statement just now was half a joke, so I decided to give it up cleanly.
But this crush seemed to carry on.
Maybe later on, I wondered if we would really become a sister-sister-like relationship.
“Oh right!”
Seo-yeon gets up as if something came to her mind.
Seoyeon turned on the mysterious app on her cell phone.
“There are things to be thankful for…”
The name of Seoyeon’s app is ‘Rust Maker’
Then she manipulated the screen and turned off the phone with a proud smile.

“Since the smell has gotten stronger, are you going to grow taller?”
Seo-yeon decided to be content with blessing Woo-jin so that she would not go through the same thing as herself.
