Chapter 265 – 52. Detective (3)
.
What are some misunderstandings that can arise due to expensive alcohol?
After returning from lunch, I leaned on the back of my chair and continued my reasoning.
The only thing that immediately comes to mind is that one person accidentally broke a wine bottle.
When I think about it again, this isn’t quite right.
Aside from everything else, there is some distance from the keyword misunderstanding.
So what about the misunderstanding that occurred because the price of the gift was so high that Seol Da-bin earned money in a bad way?
-The guess soon faded from my mind.
I can understand if it’s a product priced in the hundreds or thousands, but if it’s priced in the tens of thousands of won, it’s not that seriously expensive.
They say I get pocket money from home, so if I save up while working part-time, I can afford it.
Anyway, so I don’t think there was a misunderstanding for this reason…
“It’s a shame… Teacher, if you had just come in as a student, you would have been my junior.”
“I think it might have been difficult. I don’t know how to do anything other than self-defense.”
“Uh, really? To what extent is it a self-defense technique?”
“It’s just at the level of an ordinary person. Don’t expect anything.”
“Hey, don’t be shy. What did you learn? Judo?”
“I learned Judo at a reasonable theoretical level, and in addition…”
Misunderstanding. Misunderstand.
While I was contemplating treating the leg of a female student whose name was not worth memorizing, I heard a knock on the other side of the door.
For some reason, the sound is duller than usual.
She looked at the clock for a moment and saw that the hour hand, which had passed 1, was approaching 2.
1:48 PM.
This would be the last time for the female student to take a breather. She wasn’t happy about the new job, but she didn’t show it.
Even if it is in front of a worthless female student, it would be best to act like a kind-hearted public health teacher in front of others as much as possible.
Well, it’s a rumor, and it spreads and grows in size in an instant.
“Please come in.”
Now that I think about it, students have been coming and going so much lately that I haven’t even asked them to come in a few times, even saying things like this.
Withdrawing her gaze from her small thoughts, she began to look again at the female student’s calf, which had been cured.
Then, I heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and the sound of someone collapsing on the bed in the nursing room without any hesitation.
… A person who will act like that as soon as they enter the health room without saying anything.
Only two people come to mind.
With Lee Ji-yoon.
Yozora.
Ah, but Yozora tends to be a bit louder, which is her style.
I was curious about who it was, so I slightly raised my head.
“…”
Sitting there was Seol Da-bin.
It doesn’t seem like she came here because she was hurt somewhere.
Sitting with her legs crossed and staring at me.
… No.
Staring.
Dabin Seol.
265
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“I don’t drink.”
“Don’t you like caffeine that much?”
“It’s more that I didn’t come here to drink coffee.”
That’s what she felt when she suddenly visited.
Apparently, ‘the new coffee machine I recently ordered is much better than the vending machine outside.’ It didn’t seem like the mood for light chit-chat like that.
Even the female student who came earlier left, and we were alone in the health room.
I had been wearing a soft smile ever since Seol Da-bin arrived, but considering the atmosphere, I erased a layer of my smile.
They say you can’t spit on a smiling face, but if you do that in a serious situation, it’s perfect to get slapped.
You shouldn’t just smile too much.
“Then why did you come here? You walked in fine, so you probably didn’t hurt your leg… As for any injuries above your waist, it doesn’t look like that either.”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”
“…”
“If you don’t know, tell me. I’ll talk to Hayun instead… No, I’ll consult with her.”
Not a story, but a notice.
Seol Da-bin, who cut off her voice like that, glared at my face with a clear look of caution.
… Unfortunately, because I had my arms crossed under her chest, my eyes turned in that direction without realizing it.
Before she could question it, she lifted her gaze and looked at her face.
“What do you want to talk about when you go?”
“Can I just assume you don’t know?”
As soon as I finished speaking, Dabin Seol gently tilted her head and let out a small smile as if it was funny.
Looks like a problem child, similar to Han Su-ah.
But Han Su-ah has an expression that she doesn’t really have to make.
Is that why? Without realizing it, I lost my gaze to her for a few seconds and then belatedly woke her up from her thoughts.
… Anyway.
Looking at the situation, it doesn’t seem like a shallow tactic to buy time by keeping her at bay will work.
As much as possible, she headed to the coffee machine she had ordered to avoid encountering White Paper Yeon.
As she walked around, I sat down on her chair and looked at her.
Until now, I had only thought about finding Seol Da-bin’s weakness, but I never thought that I would be caught by a woman.
It’s not a particularly pleasant feeling.
I don’t know how to solve it, so it’s just a headache.
In the end, I couldn’t find a solution within the limited time, so I raised the white flag before the problem escalated.
Judging from the fact that she didn’t immediately run to Lee Ha-yoon and tell her what she knew, it seems like she doesn’t want to escalate the situation either.
It would be wiser to find a suitable compromise now.
“Do you want to talk about what happened the last time you ran into me?”
“What? You know very well. Then you also know why I came here.”
“… Roughly. To be honest, I don’t know for sure.”
“Even if you don’t know, you should know, right?”
Even if you don’t know, you need to know.
She said something that was nothing more than a forced statement, and then she got up from her seat and came closer to me.
Then, he comfortably placed his butt on the chair in front of him and started looking up at my face.
Unlike at the tteokbokki shop, which felt a little more comfortable, the academy uniform was buttoned all the way up and fastened with a tie.
Just in case, you can see that she is pressing down on the hem of her skirt with both hands so that the inside cannot be seen.
I don’t know anything else.
“Don’t say anything weird, I’ll just tell you.”
It seemed clear that the country was extremely wary of humans.
“Don’t be needlessly interested in Hayun.”
“…”
“You have a girlfriend, right?”
Or,
You say you hate it.
“… We met in Sinchon a few days ago, right?”
“Yes.”
A clear answer without any other rhetoric.
I felt strangely irritated by the answer that was handed to me like a knife, but I slowly exhaled and calmed myself.
I looked straight at her and suggested a ‘sloppy compromise’ rather than a ‘neat solution’ among the things I had thought of in advance.
“I think there’s some misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?”
“The person I met at that time was not my girlfriend, but my sexual partner.”
“… Ha?”
“I was embarrassed to reveal my relationship to someone I didn’t know very well, so I just passed it off as my girlfriend.”
“…”
Seol Da-bin doesn’t like me meeting Hayun when I’m already dating another woman.
So, another woman.
We just need to do something about Han Su-ah.
However, it feels like acknowledging it as much as possible but only refutating it little by little.
It would be a little more persuasive to cleverly fabricate and manipulate it, rather than completely denying that it was like a girlfriend or throwing a tantrum like a child, saying it was all just your imagination.
My image will probably take a turn for the worst.
In the worst case, the seed might not work, and it might be game over.
However, it is not a clean solution, but only a compromise.
And my image is probably in the worst state ever since I just happened to encounter it.
It is inevitable.
“No, what kind of sex part… Ugh…”
“…”
Fortunately, Dabin Seol didn’t get up from his seat right away.
Instead, she frowned in disgust, turned her head to the side, and sighed as if to make me listen.
“So, are you asking me to look at you and pretend you didn’t see me? Because I’m your sex partner…?”
“The tone is different, but I guess it’s roughly the same feeling.”
“… You’re fucking outrageous. You want me to see with my own eyes a promiscuous person who walks around with three sex partners and an innocent friend who has never even held a man’s hand…? Are you crazy?”
The voice is loud.
But here, ‘Please lower your voice as you may be heard outside.’ Even if you try, it will only make you angry.
So, when I remained silent, Seol Da-bin, who was furious, glared into my eyes and spoke in a slightly calm tone.
“Okay. I’ll just listen to it first. … And see how the tone is different.”
Would it be better to think of it as a kind of test?
I don’t know why Seol Da-bin, who was only her friend, organized it, but since the situation didn’t turn out badly, she just went along with it.
First of all, if you talk to her a lot and find out what kind of person she is, you will be able to use her somehow in the future.
“She’s just a sexual partner, so rather than pretending not to see her…”
“Rather than.”
“She was going to ask me to pretend not to see her because she wouldn’t be seeing that girl in her private life from now on.”
“… How is that different?”
“Isn’t it different?”
“What’s the difference? In the end, it doesn’t change the fact that you… Did something strange…!”
Definitely, nice.
Because her friend’s boyfriend was in danger of being caught by a pervert, she came to the health room to take action herself.
He also glared at me, disparaging relationships that only share sexual desires without love, calling it a ‘weird thing’.
This all happened because she was born with a good nature.
… In the meantime, the desire to one day make Seol Da-bin, who is in front of her, fall in love with only sharing sexual desires without her love,
It looked like it would take a few years, so she crushed it with her heels.
“We only met while my girlfriend was away, and she says she won’t see me anymore. What’s something you don’t like about her?”
“Everything. Everything. I don’t like the fact that I have ever made a sex partner in the first place, and if I had made one, I would have stayed somewhere and just had sex, as was the purpose. I don’t like the fact that I went out and walked around as if on a date, and I don’t like the idea of a man like that who is as innocent and pretty as Hayun. “I don’t understand that the child was deceived, right?”
Nice, but what can I say? It is just.
It feels like I have a guidebook that says this is how people should live.
I think it’s because I was raised well at home by loving parents.
On the other hand, as a teacher, well.
Because I exist.
“So, don’t even think about meeting Hayun. Before I tell her that you and her have been making out like sex partners.”
“…”
He’s kind, just, and because he’s an evolution, he’s multi-talented. … Nosy.
Aside from the fact that she looks more like a villain or a killer than a hero, I think I definitely know why she entered the academy.
… In order to use this at least a little to suit my taste.
I guess.
Wouldn’t this method be good?
“… Opportunity.”
“Yes?”
“An opportunity to be recognized. Can’t you just give me one?”
Acknowledge what happened so far as a mistake and pretend to regret it.
Pretend to be depressed. Pretending to be disappointed.
… Sincerely.
Nevertheless, I pretend that I can’t give up.
Put your voice down.
Looking straight into Seoldabin’s gray eyes.
I am betting as much as possible on her personality, which Lee Ha-yoon repeatedly praised as being kind.
Wouldn’t it be the most likely?
“… What kind of recognition do you mean by recognition…”
“Who would it be, given the context?”
“… Me?”
“Yes.”
“… So, how are you going to be recognized?”
“I want to show you how happy Hayun is with me.”
“…”
“I also want to show you how sincere I am.”
When I wrote it down in my head to persuade Seol Da-bin, I didn’t feel anything, but when I actually said it out loud, it was quite cringe-inducing.
However, this part was easy to talk about because there was no need to act.
Not only Lee Ha-yoon, but all the women I have met so far have never treated me without sincerity.
“Also, it would be nice to show you not meeting the sex partner you saw last time… But that is virtually impossible without monitoring your every move.”
“…”
“I’ll tell you where to meet Hayun and her sister today, so you can follow her from behind.”
“…”
“… Now, save it. Phone number.”
I handed the unlocked smartphone screen to Dabin Seol.
Fortunately, I didn’t hear anyone telling me to stop talking crazy and stop talking.
Rather than that, just.
… Ding ding ding.
By calling.
After hearing the sound of vibration coming from inside the front skirt pocket.
It’s as if this is okay.
It seems like he wants to give it a try.
It just disconnects the call ringtone that lasts for about 2 seconds.
