Chapter 138 – Dajeong Is Sweet (8)
Bang, bang, bang!
“Hehehe… Hehe.”
Yoon Dajeong buried her face in the pillow and kicked her feet.
The innocent blanket crumpled, making a thick thudding sound.
“Hee… Hehe…”
Her laughter didn’t stop.
Yoon Dajeong rubbed her face against the pillow.
“Hey, what are you doing? You’re making dust fly. Stop it.”
Yoon Yujeong, who belatedly entered the room, fanned herself with her palm.
Yoon Dajeong looked at her sister and smiled awkwardly.
“Ah, sorry…”
“You can use the bathroom now.”
“Okay~.”
Yoon Dajeong, still unable to stop her giggles, passed her sister and slipped into the bathroom.
“What is it…”
Yoon Yujeong tilted her head, watching her sister enter the bathroom with a silly smile.
Did she eat something wrong?
******
“Jinhyun oppa…”
Cherry-red lips.
When Yoon Dajeong looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, her gaze first went to her lips.
As she traced her lips with her finger, the scene from a few hours ago vividly resurfaced.
‘Can I ask you for one favor?’
Honestly, Yoon Dajeong didn’t think her oppa would grant her request to take her on a trip.
It wasn’t just any request, but a trip.
The café had just opened, so it was a busy time, and it was a heavy request that would take up a lot of his time and money.
From his perspective, she was just a high school girl he had met by chance on the street. There was no reason for him to take her on a trip.
If he said no, she would be disappointed, but she was ready to give up.
‘Saturday. It’s okay, but… where do you want to go? Not overseas, I hope?’
But, not only did he agree to the trip, but he also agreed to her demanding request for a two-night, three-day trip.
Was that why?
Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn’t control her emotions for a moment, and Yoon Dajeong ended up kissing her oppa on the cheek.
‘Ah… um, I… I did it because I was grateful.’
Only after she pulled away did she realize she had messed up.
She had babbled something, but what if he was upset? Suddenly, that fear washed over her.
She tried to leave quickly.
‘Dajeong-ah.’
When her oppa grabbed her wrist, her heart sank.
She had no idea what he would say next. What if he asked what she was doing?
Her mind was a mess, and then what happened next was beyond Yoon Dajeong’s imagination.
‘It’s not fair if only you do it.’
While her brain was calculating what wasn’t fair, her body was turned around by her oppa’s hand.
Yoon Dajeong didn’t know what was happening until his face came close.
But, when his lips touched hers, Yoon Dajeong finally began to feel reality.
Her heart pounded like crazy.
Even though it was just a brief touch, her mind went blank.
‘Ah…’
As she touched her lips with a dazed expression, her oppa tapped her shoulder.
Yoon Dajeong startled and ran away from the scene.
“Haa, haa…”
After entering the guest room and closing the door, she went into a trance and drew comics.
It was the best few hours of drawing she had ever had in her life.
As soon as she uploaded the comic, she told him through text that she was leaving because she didn’t have the confidence to look him in the face, and then she came home.
“Hehe…”
Even now, thinking about what happened a few hours ago, she wondered if it was real.
But, when she touched her lips, the sensation of the kiss she had shared with her oppa was still vividly imprinted, as if she had been burned.
A fluttering feeling bloomed.
Could it be that her oppa had kissed her?
What could it mean?
If she went on the trip in this state… maybe… maybe…!
“Kyaa, what do I do… No, oppa…”
Yoon Dajeong covered her cheeks with both hands and shook her head.
What was she saying no to?
Yoon Dajeong, feeling that she was having too many lewd thoughts, began to think about what clothes she would wear on the trip.
She didn’t even need to look in her closet, as she didn’t have many clothes.
As her family was short on money, Yoon Dajeong was very careful with her savings. She usually wore her school uniform, and she didn’t go out much, so she didn’t have many clothes.
Unlike her other friends, who spent their allowance on clothes, she just wore the clothes her mother bought for her.
But, this time, she thought she should break into her savings a little and invest some money in clothes.
‘If we stay at a hotel, will we share a room…?’
If so, then she would seduce him with daring underwear…!
Seduce…
“Seduce… Hmm…”
Yoon Dajeong looked down at her naked body.
She had some breasts, and when she touched them, they felt soft.
She had heard that men liked big breasts, but hers were average.
She also had a bit of belly fat, and she didn’t have a great figure or outstanding legs like those sexy women.
She didn’t think her body was bad, but it wasn’t outstanding either. Honestly, she thought her sister Yujeong’s body was sexier.
There were also many pretty and fit people among the café staff…
‘No. Let’s be confident!’
Anyway, she was the woman who had been kissed by her oppa.
Maybe he had feelings for her too.
Yoon Dajeong quickly washed up, came out, and sat right next to her mother.
“Mom~.”
“Oh, Dajeong-ah. What is it?”
“Can I go on a trip?”
“A trip? What trip?”
Yoon Dajeong’s mother, Yoon Naeun, tilted her head at her daughter’s sudden talk of a trip.
“Well…”
Yoon Dajeong explained the trip to her mother.
When she would go, where she wanted to go, and so on. She talked about her general travel plans.
“A two-night, three-day trip to Yeosu… It sounds nice, but you’re going with a guy?”
“Ah, yeah. With the owner of Café Delia.”
Yoon Naeun’s expression turned slightly worried at Yoon Dajeong’s answer.
“Didn’t you say that owner was very young?”
“Yeah. He’s twenty-two.”
“Twenty-two… I’m a little worried. Did that oppa ask you to go on a trip?”
Yoon Dajeong shook her head at her mother’s question.
“Nooo~. I asked him, and then he told me to get permission from Mom.”
“Ah. Is that so?”
Yoon Naeun’s expression softened slightly at Yoon Dajeong’s words.
Still, her worries didn’t disappear.
Seeing her mother’s conflicted expression, Yoon Dajeong made the most pitiful face she could.
“Pleeease… Huh? That oppa is a very kind and good person. You know him too, Mom. He’s the one who gave this to me. I want to go on a trip.”
“That’s true, but we can go as a family.”
Yoon Dajeong shook her head at her mother’s words.
“Going as a family costs a lot of money. That oppa is super rich, so if I go with him, I can go on a free trip.”
“But why would that rich oppa pay for your trip?”
“We had a bet before, and I won, so I told him to take me on a trip sometime.”
Seeing her daughter’s very earnest expression, Yoon Naeun nodded.
“Okay, I understand for now. He’s the owner of the café where Yujeong works, right? I’ll call him. If you go… make sure to contact me every day, okay?”
“Hehe, I love you, Mom!”
Yoon Dajeong hugged her mother tightly with joy.
Yoon Naeun stroked her daughter’s back.
“She only loves me at times like this. Go and rest.”
“Okay!”
Yoon Dajeong went into her room with a happy face.
******
Friday.
Today, Ye Hwa, who had been working in the studio since morning, finally closed the studio door and came out onto the street in the afternoon.
She carried a laptop bag in her hand and a handbag on her shoulder.
With a beauty that would make any man turn around, Ye Hwa walked down the street with a haughty air.
“Did your dad go on another trip?”
“Yeah. He went to Cambodia this time.”
“He really loves to travel.”
“I know, right? I think he’s going to open a souvenir shop at home.”
“At your house? Haha. It’s better than nothing.”
“That’s true. Come to my house next time and take some.”
Ye Hwa was talking on the phone with her best friend, Kang Sujeong.
While laughing and talking, she said as if she had just remembered something.
“Oh, by the way, where is that house you moved to? You’re keeping it a secret from me.”
“Ah~. It’s just that I haven’t cleaned it up yet. It’s too messy.”
“…You’re living with that guy, aren’t you?”
“Jinhyun? Of course. But what do you mean ‘that guy’? I told you not to call him that.”
There was some noise on the other end of the phone.
Ye Hwa sighed faintly so that Sujeong wouldn’t hear her and moved the phone slightly away from her ear.
‘She’s too far gone.’
What on earth did he do to make Sujeong like this?
He was a bad guy who was cheating, but she was still quite curious about that.
“Anyway, okay, your boyfriend. If you’re going to invite me to your house later, when should we meet?”
“We can meet anytime. Let’s meet outside for now.”
“Okay. Then let’s talk about where and when to meet later. I’m almost at the café. I need to get to work.”
“Ah, okay. Bye~.”
“Okay~.”
Ting-a-ling.
Jang Ye Hwa hung up the phone and thought while waiting for the traffic light.
Was it because of his face?
Well, he seemed to have a good body too.
‘That makes sense.’
When she thought about it, when Sujeong first badmouthed that guy, he had just a very ordinary face and body. He was a bit tall, though.
He was completely different from now.
‘Wait, but it’s not like he had plastic surgery…?’
Ye Hwa compared the face of Chun Jinhyun she had seen for the first time with the face of Chun Jinhyun she had seen recently in her mind.
She didn’t think it could be done with plastic surgery.
How could he become so naturally handsome? And is there plastic surgery that makes your body so good?
‘He got taller too… maybe. He was about this tall before.’
Ye Hwa compared her height with the Chun Jinhyun she had seen in the past and the Chun Jinhyun she had seen recently, respectively, and estimated his height.
She had heard that men grew taller until their mid-20s. But that had to make sense, how could he grow that much in just two months?
‘Is it shoe inserts?’
Ye Hwa, who had been thinking about various variables, shook her head.
‘Haa, let’s not worry about it. What am I doing?’
Ye Hwa sighed.
She was too busy achieving her dreams. If she worried about these things one by one, there would be no end.
Ye Hwa thought that way and crossed the crosswalk as the signal changed.
But, ignoring it was one thing, and going to the café was another.
Ting-a-ling.
Ye Hwa opened the door to Café Delia.
She didn’t like it that it was Chun Jinhyun’s café, but as soon as she went inside, she felt a cozy atmosphere with a warm air that made her smile.
‘It’s still nice… but there are no seats on the first floor.’
This café, which was becoming more and more popular, had quite a fierce competition for seats.
‘The second floor… ah, there’s one.’
Ye Hwa went up the stairs and looked for a seat, and then she found a seat in the middle.
Thinking she was lucky, she quickly went and set up her laptop.
It was just as she was about to turn it on.
“Hmm-hmm~. Hmm-hmm~.”
Jang Ye Hwa found a girl coming up to the second floor, humming.
A girl in a school uniform. It was the girl she saw at the café every day.
‘She looks very happy today.’
Seeing the fresh-faced student smiling happily made her feel good too.
The heroine of the comic she was watching must have felt like that too.
Just like that, the girl passed by Jang Ye Hwa.
Just as she was about to turn her head after looking at her with a pleased expression, Jang Ye Hwa’s eyes suddenly caught the girl’s name tag.
‘Yoon Dajeong?’
Huh?
Jang Ye Hwa paused and stared at the girl passing by until the end. Jang Ye Hwa had seen a similar name recently.
The picture she had secretly taken of Chun Jinhyun.
The woman Chun Jinhyun had cheated on Sujeong with. That woman came to mind.
Surely that woman’s name was Yoon Yujeong.
Jang Ye Hwa didn’t turn her head and scanned the girl.
Short hair and that impression.
Indeed, she had a similar feeling.
Jang Ye Hwa jumped up from her seat. Then she immediately headed to the counter.
When she had gone to confront Chun Jinhyun, she had only seen pictures of Chun Jinhyun’s affair partner, so there was no way she could have known her name.
She had found out that the woman worked at this café that Chun Jinhyun had opened.
“One Earl Grey milk tea, iced, please. I’ll have it here.”
“Okay~, that’s 3,800 won~.”
A woman with short hair smiled brightly and took the order.
On her café uniform, there was a name tag that read Yoon Yujeong.
‘Indeed.’
At first, she had wondered if it was her, but after looking at the picture again, Jang Ye Hwa’s thoughts had turned into conviction.
That woman was Chun Jinhyun’s affair partner.
Jang Ye Hwa had deleted the picture on her phone, but she had not yet deleted the backup file she had left just in case.
Therefore, she still had the picture of Chun Jinhyun and that woman, Yoon Yujeong, clinging to each other and entering a motel.
