Chapter 192 – Love Triangle (1)
After leaving the theater.
“… I need to go to the bathroom for a second.”
Ryujin left those words and headed to the bathroom without looking back at her.
Sitting on top of her cubicle without even opening the lid, she let out a small sigh as she thought.
‘I think my heart is getting worse.’
The area around her chest thumps when she grabs her.
It’s been two hours.
The amount of time the heart beats faster than usual.
‘He’s someone I shouldn’t be close to.’
He smells dangerous.
The feeling that her life, which she has built up until now, is about to collapse entirely just by being close to her keeps making a red light come on in her head.
That reluctance keeps sending warnings to get away from him, but it doesn’t go as planned.
To be precise, her body is trying to get farther away, but her heart keeps trying to get closer.
I pat my cheek to restore my broken heart.
Damn!
‘Calm down, Ryujin. Your best friend is the first guy you had a crush on.’
Maybe that’s what motivates her even more.
Kim Eun-bi, a best friend who is loved anytime, anywhere, and by anyone.
The man she is overtly interested in is showing her interest in herself, not her.
A love triangle that can only be seen in dramas.
In that relationship, naturally, Chimi knows that she can’t be immoral, and she keeps wanting her even though she knows that the situation is not good.
“Whoa…”
Take a deep breath and catch her heart.
‘I can’t lose a friend because of just one man.’
Eunbi Kim is not just a friend, she is a friend she wants to be with for the rest of her life.
She doesn’t want to lose a friend like that for just one guy.
‘Let’s break up quickly. And if I don’t contact them anymore, they’ll naturally be forgotten.’
Her heart was pounding because she was too close to him.
If the body gets farther away, the mind will naturally erase his existence as if it never existed.
After narrowly finishing her thoughts, she finished her errands and stood in front of the bathroom mirror.
While unknowingly tidying up the disheveled clothes and tying up the tangled hair with my hands.
“Jinah… ?”
A familiar voice came from the left.
Upon hearing this, Ryujin turned her head away and involuntarily took a step backwards from her in surprise.
That would also be the case, because the person in front of her was Kim Eun-bi, one of the main culprits who had confused my mind a little while ago.
“Uh, Eunbi, why are you here… ?”
“Me? I came to see a movie with my brother… , Eunbi, how about you?”
“I, I…”
I can not say.
To say that the guy you like contacted you and watched a movie together.
“Sir, I was bored so I came to see a movie. Find a movie that you think will be interesting.”
“Hehe, did you? Nice to see you here! Since it happened like this, let’s eat together!”
“Uh… , Is that so?”
It was better
After going to the bathroom with Kim Eun-bi, if you send a message to Kim Do-jin to go first…
“Uh…”
However, the world was not as smooth as she thought.
After leaving the bathroom with Eunbi Kim, she witnessed an even more surprising sight.
The ridiculous story that her younger siblings Kim Jeong-hoon and Kim Do-jin were high school classmates was a bonus.
Ryujin pulled her hair into hers.
‘How can I have such a dog-like relationship!’
The man who saved my friend Kim Eun-bi and became her destined opponent shows interest in her, and the man turns out to be my friend’s younger brother and high school classmate?
‘If a novel is written like this, it will fail.’
Even a third-rate writer would even give a headache to the ridiculous chain of relationships that would not be brought out.
With her strange gaze, Ryujin looked at Kim Dojin and Kim Eunbi, who finally shared her voice.
Fits better than expected.
It might look more like that because both of them have faces made of materials that could be drawn in romance novels or romance novels.
A little bit of jealousy was etched into her heart, so that even she didn’t notice her.
In the meantime, Kim Eun-bi, who had been talking about things, began to look at Ryu-jin and Kim Do-jin alternately with doubtful eyes.
Found a movie theater with her brother.
There, I met a man and a friend I wanted to meet again.
‘Accident… Is it?’
To say it was a coincidence, something unsatisfying keeps stabbing me in my head.
Perhaps.
It’s a home I don’t want to think about.
Maybe the two of them came to see a movie together.
A sudden question tickled her lips.
“Hey, by any chance…”
Eunbi Kim struggles to speak.
“That… , The two of us didn’t come to the movies together… ?”
At her question, Ryujin felt her heart sink.
When Kim Do-jin smiled and tried to say something, she sensed her uneasiness and hurriedly intercepted his words.
“Me, me! Did you come alone?”
At the same time, she shoots intense eyes at Kim Do-jin.
‘Please notice, please!’
The moment when he earnestly hopes and wishes that he is not a blind man.
Kim Do-jin smiled and parted her lips.
“I came alone. I like to watch movies alone quietly.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Only then did Ryujin relieve her regret while seeing Kim Eunbi smiling again.
‘I can’t die because of my expulsion like this, really.’
The feeling of walking on thin ice is exhausting.
Now I don’t need it all
I just wanted to go home.
However, Eunbi Kim never intended to let her go.
“Excuse me… ! We’re thinking of going to dinner now, but Do-jin’s sister won’t you come too?”
Ryujin was also included in the group she was talking about.
Ryu Jin-do and Kim Jeong-hoon.
Although each hoped that Dojin Kim would decline her offer for different reasons.
“That’s good. I can talk to a friend I haven’t seen in a long time.”
Kim Do-jin answered with a smile and put his arm around Kim Jung-hoon’s shoulder right next to him.
“Are you okay too, Jung Hoon?”
Kim Jeong-hoon’s stomach was boiling.
“That, then.”
But couldn’t refuse.
If I do something wrong, my sister might expose my true self, which I had been hiding until now.
In this way, a party of four was formed, each with different awkwardness and discomfort.
* * *
A family restaurant that the Kim siblings often visit when they come to Gangnam.
The atmosphere gradually ripened in a place where casualness stood out more than formality.
“Wow… , So you’re a student at Korea University now?”
“Yes.”
“I thought Dojin’s younger brother was a Hunter, what the heck!”
“Not yet, haha.”
To be precise, out of the four people gathered around the table, only Kim Eun-bi and I were in a good mood.
All her attention was on me, and I answered honestly.
Kim Jung Hoon? Hey, it’s just a bag of barley that I borrowed, and Ryujin took care of it, saying that he would take care of it anyway.
He handed her some pieces of her meat that she had cut so that she wouldn’t feel left out, and bumped into her after bumping her beer glass with her Kim Eun-bi, highlighting her existence once in a while if she could forget her.
Don’t let Kim Eun-bi forget her existence.
“How is the food here? Is it delicious?”
“Yes, it is delicious. How is Ryujin noona?”
“Uh? Uh… , Well, it’s delicious.”
It’s like this.
Kim Eun-bi asks me a question, and after answering it, I ask Ryu-jin the same question.
A bit biting and biting form.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere here is changing in a very interesting way.
Kim Jeong-hoon is groaning alone, worried that I might say something, and Kim Eun-bi seems to be starting to get concerned about Ryu-jin’s existence.
It seems that I am the only person who can enjoy this place as much as I do.
“Now, shall we have another drink?!”
When Kim Eun-bi, who is in a bad mood, lifts her beer glass, Kim Jeong-hoon blocks it.
“Nuna, why does someone who can’t even drink drink so much?”
“Ah~ Why! I’m not drunk yet.”
Intoxicated people say they are not drunk.
“Yes, sister. You look a little drunk, but drink slowly.”
“Lol… , I wonder if.”
When his younger brother, Kim Jeong-hoon, dissuades him, he swears that he doesn’t like it.
Thanks to that, Kim Jung-hoon is glaring at me as if to kill me.
It’s not this side I want to arouse jealousy.
“Ryujin older sister.”
“… Why.”
Here’s what I want to arouse jealousy.
Jin Ryu and Eunbi Kim.
“Since Eunbi noona seems a bit drunk, let’s toast ourselves.”
To stimulate Kim Eun-bi, put a sajok in front of the words to toast.
Response is quick.
Eunbi Kim squeezes the handle of her beer mug with her cheeks puffed out and wiggles her fingers, then she raises her beer glass again.
“No, I can still drink more! I want to toast too!”
A feeble spark flickered in his eyes.
You can see the determination that you can never see the two of them doing something except for themselves.
“Are you really okay? Her face is red.”
“Yes! It’s just that my face is hot, it’s hot. Hehe, would it be salty then?”
Kim Eun-bi emptied the remaining beer in her beer glass like that.
Whether it is true that Kim Jung-hoon said that he is weak in alcohol, he starts spinning his head around like a sick chicken even though he has not drank for a while.
It’s hard to get drunk anymore… , Is it time to give up?
Talk to the barley bag you borrowed.
“Jung Hoon. Noona seems to be very drunk, so let’s get up now.”
“… Okay.”
The guy who answered while gritting his teeth immediately got up from his seat and supported my sister’s shoulders.
“Sister, let’s go home now.”
Then, the head that was facing the floor slightly rose.
She follows me with her hazy gaze.
“Uh, uh… ? If not, I can play more…”
“Don’t push yourself too hard, sister. We can meet again next time and play.”
At my words, Eunbi Kim asks with a wry smile.
“Swimming… , Will we meet again next time?”
“As long as my sister is okay.”
“I like it! Anytime is fine!”
Standing leaning on Kim Jung-hoon’s arm and turning the other arm around, it looks like a child.
Only the face, of course.
Under the face is a very fine adult, um.
After paying the bill with Kim Jung-hoon’s card, I stand in front of the road.
Kim Jeong-hoon, Kim Eun-bi, and me and Ryu Jin pair up and look side by side.
“I’ll take Ryujin-noona, so you two go in first.”
As she subtly closed the distance, Ryujin stiffened her hand and patted her hand.
“Oh, no. Even if I go alone…”
“It is dangerous for a woman to walk alone at night. I will only take you to the nearby.”
When I push, Ryujin’s momentum breaks down.
“… Then just a little bit.”
Kim Eun-bi sees and hears our conversation clearly with her half-drunk eyes and ears.
Seeing that her cheeks are slightly swollen, it seems that she doesn’t like the situation very much.
“Oh, there’s a taxi over there.”
After catching a taxi coming from afar, they pick up the two.
“Then see you next time, sister.”
“Uh? Uhh… , Yes, next time… , Please…”
Before she finishes talking, she closes the car door.
Then she got into the slowly departing taxi while she could still see us.
Close the distance with Ryujin while talking with a smile.
“Then shall we go too?”
“… You said respectful things until a little while ago.”
So Kim Eun-bi can see this and keep it in her head.
“Do you like honorifics, sister?”
“It’s okay. Just do it in half.”
No, there’s nothing to shudder about.
