Chapter 86 – May Sports Day (10)
Yuri Lee’s thoughts stopped momentarily.
“What…?”
“I saw it all! That bastard, Han Seong-jin, works part-time with Choi Soo-yeon at a convenience store near my house! Do you think they just work part-time? They hug and kiss whenever they get the chance and don’t make a fuss! Look at this!”
Gong Young-bae held out his cell phone and showed it in front of Lee Yu-ri.
A video was playing on the cell phone screen.
What anyone can see behind the glass of the convenience store is Han Seong-jin.
And a blonde-haired woman with a side ponytail who climbs on top of him and clings to him like a snake, holding his cheek and mixing her tongue with him.
Choi Su-yeon was like a thorn in my eye every day.
The moment I saw that video, Lee Yu-ri’s mind went blank.
I couldn’t even remember where or how Gong Young-bae got this video.
All kinds of negative emotions, including envy, jealousy, and resentment, swirled inside Lee Yu-ri.
Of course, Han Seong-jin kept saying that he was greedy for women, and he never denied it when asked if he liked Choi Soo-yeon.
I thought deep down that something like this might happen, but it was a very different feeling to just guess and to see it in person.
Following the resentment toward Han Seong-jin and the anger toward Choi Soo-yeon, what followed was resentment toward Gong Young-bae.
“Why are you showing me this?”
“Because you should know that Han Seong-jin is this kind of bastard! He says you’re his girlfriend or something, but he’s cheating on you behind your back like this! But you don’t know anything, and you just open your mouth, Han Seong-jin, Han Seong-jin! What’s so good about a bastard like this that you keep seeing me!”
“That’s my job to take care of! Why are you meddling when you have nothing to do with it!”
“How does it matter! I…”
The words “Because I want you,” Could not come out of Gong Young-bae’s mouth.
However, unlike Gong Young-bae’s intention, Lee Yu-ri’s anger was not directed at Han Seong-jin, but rather at Gong Young-bae himself.
“Why are you showing me something like this? Are you telling me I’m in a bad mood?!”
“I’m telling you to stop dating such a bastard! Do you think you’ll date a bastard like Han Seong-jin even though he’s secretly doing this behind your back?”
“I know!!!”
Yuri Lee screamed.
For a moment, Gong Youngbae did not understand what he was saying.
“You know…? What do you mean you know..? No way-“
“I know that Seongjin likes Choi Suyeon! She said that she is greedy for women and wants to have any woman she likes other than me!”
“What the heck… Then, if you saw this, shouldn’t you be more angry at that bastard? Not me!”
When Gong Young-bae showed a video of Han Seong-jin and Choi Soo-yeon kissing and waved it in front of her, Lee Yu-ri, who became even more annoyed, slapped his hand away.
The cell phone left Gong Young-bae’s hand and rolled down the hallway helplessly, and Gong Young-bae looked at Yu-ri Lee with an expression of complete bewilderment.
“Yuri, what are you trying to do with this?”
“That’s what I’m going to do! You showed me something like that, so what are you telling me to do? Break up?! That’s up to me to decide! You’re not going to get involved!”
“I’m doing this because I’m thinking of you! This is what that bastard Han Seong-jin really looks like! My childhood friend who I’ve known for over 10 years is fawning over this bastard!”
“Do you think about me? Then you shouldn’t have shown it!”
Yuri Lee screamed with tears in her eyes.
“I knew that Seongjin was trying to get Choi Soo-yeon around! I had an idea that when she wasn’t seeing me, she and Choi Soo-yeon would be doing various things somewhere! I just wanted to know about it in an abstract way!
I decided to take that risk and was having a good relationship with Seongjin, so why are you making a fuss when you have nothing to do with it?”
She was prepared to some extent, and she knew that Han Seong-jin would play with Choi Soo-yeon when she couldn’t meet at the right time.
I didn’t like it, but at least Han Seong-jin didn’t hide or lie about this.
When Han Seong-jin and Choi Su-yeon didn’t know what they were doing, they could only guess in their minds, but it was as if Gong Young-bae suddenly forced a red pill into their mouths.
Lee Yu-ri, who did not want to take the red pill, was more angry at Gong Young-bae for forcing her to take it than with Han Seong-jin and Choi Soo-yeon.
Gong Yeong-bae, like Gong Yeong-bae, could not understand Lee Yu-ri being angry at him.
“Shouldn’t you be grateful to me? I helped you find out who that bastard Han Seong-jin is! Even after being treated like that, you still want to date a guy like that!?”
“I knew about it from the start! I still like Seongjin, so I agreed to meet him! Don’t mind my business!”
Gong Young-bae thought that her childhood friend, whom she had known for a long time, had become a completely different person.
Lee Yu-ri was like a gambling addict, even when she was told the right path, she refused to go there and insisted on going down the wrong path until the end.
As she hung out with a gangster like Han Seong-jin, both her body and her mind became corrupted.
In the end, Gong Young-bae couldn’t hold back and said something he shouldn’t have said.
“Did that bastard’s dick taste that good?”
“… What?”
“Are you saying Han Seong-jin’s dick tastes so good that you just can’t get rid of it? Just like the other sluts?”
After hearing the verbal abuse, Yu-ri Lee’s face turned red as if it were about to explode.
“Do you think Han Seong-jin is dating you because he really likes you? That bastard just wants your body! He doesn’t even know that, but he spreads his legs for Han Seong-jin, and is this your answer to me who tells me that that bastard is cheating on me?
If you understood what I said, I wouldn’t have said this harshly, but she would have to be eaten by Han Seong-jin before she would come to her senses – “
Whistling!
Lee Yu-ri, whose anger had exceeded her limit, approached and tried to slap Gong Yeong-bae.
Chin-
However, unlike last time, Gong Young-bae also grabbed Lee Yu-ri’s arm and blocked her fire slap.
“You… Bastard…!”
“Like last time, is it because you were influenced by that bastard Han Seong-jin that you left her hand again? Why did you really become like this?”
“Shut up!!! What? You spread your legs while saying hello? Are you going to be punished? I’ll kill you!!!”
Lee Yu-ri tried to beat Gong Yeong-bae by any means possible, but even though he was not comparable to Han Seong-jin, he was still a man, so his power was stronger than Lee Yu-ri.
Lee Yu-ri, who was pushed out of power and ultimately failed to land a blow on Gong Yeong-bae, shed tears out of anger and resentment.
“… It was my mistake.”
“…?”
“The last time we had a fight, I shouldn’t have accepted your apology from then on and just completely cut off ties. If I had known you were this kind of bastard, I would have done that a long time ago.”
“You still…”
“Don’t ever pretend to know me again. Come to think of it, I told you this last time, right?”
Lee Yu-ri was so angry that even her voice trembled, and every word she said was filled with tears.
Declaration of breakup of diplomatic relations.
Last time, I still had a lot of regrets for Gong Young-bae, but he kept saying sad things to me, so I spit it out in anger.
But now, with no regrets left, I have decided to completely cut off even the smallest connection like childhood friends.
“Don’t ever talk to me again. If you pretend to know me even once, I’ll tell Seongjin everything you did and said.”
“You really are!”
“… Disgusting bastard.”
Lee Yu-ri glared at Gong Yeong-bae as if he were going to kill her with an expression full of hatred and contempt that she had never seen before in her life, and spit out each word with force.
“I wish I could just erase the 10-plus years of hanging out with a bastard like you from my life. You bastard. Hehe.”
Unable to hold back her anger, Lee Yu-ri spat at Gong Young-bae’s feet and stomped her feet back out onto the playground.
When she first broke off her relationship, she took out her anger on the guy she liked who didn’t know her situation.
When I dated Han Seong-jin and accepted Gong Young-bae’s apology, we were just childhood friends and boyfriends.
And now this disgusting person has decided to cut off relations forever.
In Yu-ri Lee’s mind, Gong Yeong-bae’s position changed like that.
On the other hand, Gong Young-bae thought that Yu-ri Lee did it right even though she was criticized.
“Yes… Han Seong-jin is tall and has a good body, so right now, just a physical relationship would be considered real love. Yuri, you were gaslighted by that bastard. You are just out of your mind right now. In the end, if you hang out with that guy and end up in big trouble or getting abandoned, … Then you’ll realize that you were wrong. Just wait a moment, Yuri, and I’ll clean it up…”
#####
Yuri didn’t return until quite later, and when she did, her eyes were swollen, and she looked completely weak.
“Yuri? Why are your eyes swollen? Your face is red too. Did you cry? Is it because you lost the cavalry battle earlier?”
“… Seongjin, talk to me for a moment.”
Yuri’s voice was as weak as it looks now.
Without saying anything, I moved to a deserted place with Yuri, and as soon as I turned the corner, Yuri looked straight into my eyes and asked.
“Seongjin, you said you never lie.”
“Right? But why is that suddenly-“
“Then from now on, please be honest with everything I ask.”
Since Yuri was in an unusual mood, I nodded at her without asking any more questions.
“Where is the convenience store you work at?”
“It’s a convenience store near my house.”
“That part-time job… Do you do it alone?”
“No. Two people including me.”
“Tell me who that part-time job is.”
“Choi Soo-yeon.”
“…”
Yuri looked at me in silence for a moment and then asked in an even weaker voice.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Well, when I started working part-time, let alone you and me… It was at a time when you hated me so much that there was nothing to talk about. After that, you never once asked me who I was working with.”
“… Why Choi Soo-yeon?”
“It’s not that I knew about it. I just went to the convenience store closest to my house and asked if they needed any help. Soo-yeon Choi happened to be working there. At that time, it was like she and I were meeting each other for the first time, so I didn’t pay much attention.
And you know. What was I like back then? “I wasn’t in a state to look into other part-time jobs that I might not know existed or not.”
Yuri seemed to be somewhat convinced and nodded.
And she asked her last question in a much more trembling voice than before.
“Then the last question is… Are you two really not doing anything and just working there part-time?”
His eyes were trembling just like his voice.
Since she asked this out of the blue, it seems like she heard something from someone…
I sighed very lightly and placed my hand on her shoulder.
“Yuri, remember I said I wouldn’t lie.”
“… Yes.”
“So, I’m going to tell you the truth this time. But you might not really want to know. Is that okay? Can I tell you the truth?”
“… Tell me. Tell me the truth and honestly.”
“… Kiss really often.”
As soon as I answered, Yuri’s tears fell, and she buried her head in my chest and cried.
“Huh… Huh…”
“Who did I hear you say? I’m sorry. I said I was greedy for women and that I would keep Suyeon by my side, but I didn’t want anyone to find out.”
“Yes, you bastard. Ugh… I know there wasn’t the right time to say it… Sniffle. I knew you liked Choi Su-yeon too… But I didn’t want to know it is like this… “
He wanted to immediately find out who leaked that story, but he decided to focus more on comforting Yuri for now.
Yuri, who cried for a while, sniffled and asked one more question.
“Ugh… I really want to ask you one last question.”
“Yes. Any number of times is fine.”
“You… Do you still love me even after doing something like that? Don’t you like Choi Soo-yeon better?”
“… Yuri.”
I grabbed Yuri’s two delicate shoulders and looked her straight in the eye.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle more because of her tears.
“I love you. I know you did something like that with Soo-yeon, so hearing these words may not make much of a difference, but… The fact that I am sincere for you has never changed and will never change.
It sounds like bullshit from a crazy guy who likes two women at the same time… I’m sorry, I’m such a guy. But it’s also true that I really like you and cherish you. “I hope you believe that.”
“Sniff… Slurp… Black.”
“Do you know what I really want? It’s for you to be happy. It was the same for Choi Soo-yeon. So I wanted to make you all happy. But just in case, because I’m seeing both of you at the same time, I don’t mean what I say, or if you don’t want to date me anymore, If you’re not happy, anytime…”
“Ugh… Idiot.”
Yuri said that and grabbed my head.
“I never said I wasn’t happy dating you. Sigh… It’s just that it was so sudden. I’m angry, but…”
After that, I talked to her a lot while comforting her until the run started.
Yuri asked me all the questions I had been curious about, and I answered them honestly, without a single lie.
He said himself that he knew long ago that he didn’t have a monopoly on me, but finding out for himself is another matter…
I didn’t ask who said that, and Yuri didn’t mention it because I was afraid it would be like picking Yuri’s wounds for no reason.
And at the last moment, when she asked how far Choi Soo-yeon and Jin had gone, Yuri seemed to feel much relieved when she said, ‘We haven’t reached the end yet.’
