Chapter 264 – 52. Detective (2)
.
I want to defile the hero who is envied by people as much as I want in an unseen place…
Sexual desire.
As I was breathlessly obsessed with what could be called thirst, the surrounding women were now taking on a form similar to an illegal structure.
Lee Ha-yoon and Lee Ji-yoon know each other’s relationship.
Han Su-ah and Yozora also know about each other’s relationship.
Baek Seo Yeon, she knows something, even if only one-sided.
However, there was no link between them yet.
To be exact, “I haven’t made it yet” Would be a neater expression.
In any case, it’s more important that there are people who still don’t know each other.
Therefore, my private life should not yet be revealed through ‘other people’ like Seol Da-bin.
Instead of dividing it into three categories, it can be combined into one category.
I needed more time to color the relationship between them a little more.
For example…
It’s awkward to see Lee Ha-yoon and Han Su-ah together, but Lee Ji-yoon and Han Su-ah together is a picture that can be drawn somehow.
The same goes for Yozora and Baek Seo-yeon.
Since Seol Da-bin almost intervened in such a dangerous moment, she felt dizzy for a moment… Fortunately, it seems to have somehow gone well.
However.
“…”
Seol Da-bin’s gaze alternated between me and Lee Ha-yoon as if there was something strange, but it was still the same until the end.
… It’s a pain in the ass.
If she said something strange to Hayun before me, things would get really annoying.
Is there any way to trick it?
Or maybe I’ll find Dabin’s weakness and take it into her hands.
That way, we can at least negotiate.
Of course, if you find a bigger weakness than you thought.
… It may be used for a slightly different purpose.
“… Counseling?”
“Tsk…”
In any case, anyone who would know such a weakness would have to be a person around them.
Among the people around you, you are probably my closest friend…
Lee Ha-yoon in front of my eyes.
I guess I know at least one thing.
“Is it because you’re still embarrassed to reveal it?”
“Of course…! It would be a prettier date course… If we ran into each other at the same place, you wouldn’t know it, it’s a tteokbokki restaurant…!”
Lee Ha-yoon gets angry at my joke to change the mood, but at the same time whispers so that he can’t be heard.
Soon after, she started gulping down cold water from a stainless steel water cup, probably because her throat was burning.
Rather, the person who couldn’t reveal it was me, and it was quite trashy behavior.
Thanks to this, I inadvertently remembered the word ‘garbage’ that Baek Seo-yeon used to chatter about, and with a light sigh, I filled Lee Ha-yoon’s water cup and continued.
“Are you my sister’s friend? That girl… No, I guess I should still call her senior.”
“Yeah… Dabin. We’re in the same class.”
“We’re classmates…”
“Why? Is there something wrong?”
“Well, um… I think it would be rude to say it out loud in the first meeting.”
“What is it? They won’t hear anyway, so tell me.”
“… Makeup or something…”
“Ah, looks.”
“Yes.”
Red and black hair with a hint of dyeing and gray eyes, not a natural color like Lee Ji-yoon or Baek Seo-yeon.
He even has a handsome appearance that goes well with such a combination, so he would be a great topic for conversation.
When I said the story with a feeling of ‘interesting’ rather than ‘I’m interested’, Lee Ha-yoon smiled shyly as if it was something she had often heard.
“It looks flashy, right? To put it in a bad way, it’s like a high school bully… A problem child? It looks like it’s going to be stolen from the test paper? That’s what it looks like.”
“… Yes.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. That’s just how he looks, he’s a perfect kid.”
“Aha.”
“He said he was often misunderstood in the past. Of course, at first, I also avoided him because he seemed like a scary kid.”
“Then how did you become friends?”
“Hmm… I don’t know? Don’t you usually remember how you became friends with your classmates? I think we became friends after just talking…”
“…”
“Anyway, what should I do with that red hair? I think just black hair would look good, but that’s because Dabin doesn’t like me because I’m not pretty… Ugh…”
Has tension increased slightly due to the repercussions of just overcoming the crisis?
When the topic of the previously blank story was directed to Seol Da-bin, Lee Ha-yoon rested her chin and revealed little by little information about her friend.
Of course, so far, there was only useless information that I could infer.
Ah, just one thing though.
Every time I met her, I thought she was a bad girl because she treated my boyfriend badly, but it was surprising that she was nice.
Unlike Lee Ji-yoon, who didn’t even have a conversation with her fans, or Han Su-ah, who only gave a proper greeting and ran away when she met her fans, she was the kind of woman who shook hands and took pictures.
There must be limits to her acting like a good person.
She is not a celebrity who has to endure because she lives solely on the love of her fans, she is just a hero.
After confirming that the information was not much different from what I knew, I asked while setting the plate of tteokbokki and fried food that had just been served.
“I’m talking about being kind that my sister mentioned earlier. In what way?”
“What point?”
“Yes.”
“Well… I can’t think of anything that comes to mind when I suddenly ask her, but she’s just nice. She always takes good care of her friends and often shares delicious food with them.”
“… Hmm.”
“Oh, that’s right. We had a part-time job together before, and even then, he was very nice. It was my first time, so he covered up any mistakes I made.”
“Part-time job?”
“Yes. I happened to work part-time at the same place. I was in charge of the hall.”
Now that I think about it, I sent 100,000 won the other day and said it was money I could make in one day working part-time on the weekend.
If you simply calculate it at the minimum hourly wage, a considerable amount of time is required. Is there any information that can be used?
“If you’re in charge of the hall, that’s right, you’re serving.”
“That’s right. Serving, serving customers, cleaning up, and accepting bullshit from crazy people…”
“It must have been difficult. I saw Jiyoon last time she was working part-time at a café, and she looked like she was having a hard time.”
“Still, if it’s hard for a while, the hourly wage is pretty good… Especially if you run away to a part-time job like at a meat restaurant and get hired quickly, or if there’s no distinction between the hall and the kitchen.”
“… Ah. Urgent.”
“It’s all about money. Money.”
“Then the senior I saw earlier… Is it for his livelihood?”
“No? As far as I know, Dabin receives allowance from home.”
So why bother working so hard at a part-time job?
The answer to the question was found out in Lee Ha-yoon’s answer that follows.
“Sometimes, if I want something expensive, I get a part-time job. At that time, I worked hard at my part-time job preparing a birthday present for my boyfriend. Did you see it earlier? The boyfriend who was next to me.”
Lee Ha-yoon added, “Stir,” And pointed in the direction with chopsticks, crouching like a sniper in the bush.
As I turned my gaze following the tips of her fingers, I saw Seol Da-bin and her boyfriend positioned at a reasonable distance.
Even from here, compared to Seol Da-bin’s striking appearance, the man’s side is quite ordinary.
He was neither handsome nor ugly.
The same goes for height. I guess it’s around 175. It was at an average level, looking a little less than 180.
If I were to look for a characteristic, the only thing I would say is that he is a man with an appearance that fits well with the word ‘right lifestyle.’
As the old saying goes, is there something that polar opposites have in common? While I was thinking about something like this, Lee Ha-yoon’s voice continued a little longer.
“He’s a year older than me, and we’ve been childhood friends for almost 10 years? They say we’re like family now.”
“We’ve been together for a long time. 10 years.”
“Really? I heard that my parents know each other… Maybe that’s why they haven’t been feeling particularly excited lately, so they said they prepared a rather expensive gift.”
We’ve been together for so long, like a married couple, that we’ve recently fallen into mannerisms.
It’s good news that there’s a gap to squeeze in, but I couldn’t think of a way to use it.
Moreover, it is a weakness, so keep in mind that it has a very bland taste.
So, I sighed, looked away, and looked into the expensive gift a little more.
“What if it’s an expensive gift…?”
“Alcohol!”
“Alcohol?”
“Yes. Was it wine, exactly? I don’t know much about alcohol, so I forgot the name, but from what I heard, it costs several hundred thousand won per bottle.”
It’s a drink worth several hundred thousand won.
I think the price of Kwon Nam-ho’s pet liquor, which he kept several bottles in his hideout cupboard and kept as gold and jade, was roughly around that price range.
And I also remember Yozora saying, ‘Other people’s alcohol tastes better’ and going crazy trying to steal it whenever she got the chance.
… I felt like an asshole back then, but now it’s just a memory.
I was momentarily distracted by the sudden conversation about alcohol, so I picked up a piece of fried food in front of me and continued asking questions.
“Is that why it went well?”
“Oh, well… I heard it didn’t go well at the time…”
“… What on earth happened?”
“It’s not because of some strange reason…”
Even so, I was able to get my hands on it.
“They said there was a bit of a misunderstanding because of the expensive drinks.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know because they said it was a secret, and they didn’t tell me. But seeing as we’re hanging out together now, isn’t everything sorted out?”
“… Hmm.
It was hard to even call it a weakness, but all it had was information that couldn’t be used.
*****
No matter how much I tried to think positively, I ended up returning to the thought that Hayun might have been secretly dating Teacher Bogan.
After finishing eating, I looked at the corner where the two people had been sitting just a moment ago and wiped my lips.
It makes sense to come to a faraway place because you want to get counseling without being noticed by your friends, but choosing a tteokbokki restaurant is a bit strange.
I’m thinking, ‘That could be possible’, so I’m embarrassed because I came all the way to a place like this and met a friend to get counseling, but there’s something strange about it that makes my face turn red. Because counseling isn’t that embarrassing.
In the end, the only conclusion that could be reached was that Hayun was meeting the public health teacher separately.
Hayun thought she was having a relationship with Teacher Bogan and brought her to a tteokbokki restaurant far away.
Since she was already in a relationship, she came here to avoid getting caught by other students.
All it does is split into two.
“…”
How much better it would have been if it was all about a secret love affair.
If so, I could have turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen what happened today.
Of course.
Because the man involved was a public health teacher and not someone else, I couldn’t just ignore it.
That person definitely had a girlfriend.
… However, if you touch Hayun.
It’s a leg of lamb that can’t be removed or put in.
A piece of trash.
“Whoa…”
Should I tell Hayun right now?
Or maybe she’s just guessing, and I should wait and see for her?
By any chance, the woman clinging to the man’s back was not his girlfriend but his younger sister. Her cousin. Well, maybe it was that kind of relationship.
As I continued to worry with a confused sigh, I quietly asked my boyfriend, who, unlike me, didn’t seem to be thinking much.
“Hey, Baek Ji-ho. We were there when we went to Sinchon a few days ago.”
“Huh? Uh.”
“That blonde girl behind the teacher at that time, you definitely said she was your girlfriend, right?”
“Hmm… I wouldn’t have said she was my girlfriend. She acted like a girlfriend. But why did she suddenly say that?”
“… Just.”
You said that earlier when I asked you to leave quickly.
I’ve known that I’m clueless since I was young, but is it okay to be this clueless?
This is why I brought you a gift last time… No, it’s done.
Anyway, even though the teacher didn’t directly say she was his girlfriend, it means that even that clueless guy saw the girl behind him as his girlfriend.
I looked at her boyfriend, who was tilting his head as if he hadn’t noticed her yet, and stood up, putting the used tissues in the trash can.
“I’ll come back after paying, so leave first.”
“No. I’ll pay. Davin.”
“What do I have to pay? Yesterday, when I asked him to go shopping for clothes, he said he was almost out-of-pocket money for this month.”
“Still, this level of fraud…”
“I’ll pay it back later. That’s it, then?”
“… Okay.”
Don’t do weird tricks to Hayun, and if you have a conscience, tell her to stay away before she reveals the whole truth.
To give a warning with minimal courtesy.
Jajajaja ese novio es un novio? O un muñeco? Titere? Jajajaja
