Chapter 271 – 53. Drunk (5)
.
“Is this all there is to waste?”
“Uh.”
“Ugh… Tea. Phew, then we’ll go? Can’t I call you at dawn to say you’re lonely?”
“Would you do it? … You idiot.”
… It’s suspicious. Suspicious.
No matter how much I think about it, it’s too suspicious.
Of course, I’m not talking about suddenly telling me and Sua-chan to leave.
It’s almost time for her to sleep, and since she’s been deliberately telling Seoyeon a lot about her sexual partners for her to hear, it’s possible she’s sick of it, right?
That’s not what’s suspicious…
Why were you hiding the fact that you sprained your ankle?
Something like the fact that the foot pushing me had a lot less strength than usual.
Something like secretly putting your foot on the ground.
It seems like they were planning to hide it, but it’s too obvious.
But what on earth is there to gain by hiding this from me?
If you’re just hurt, ‘Oh, you’re hurt. Let’s get treatment from Seo Woo Jin.’ There’s nothing to talk about, right?
I’ve already heard that you tried to get involved with Seo Woo Jin while in heat and all, so it’s not like you wanted to hide your relationship with Seo Woo Jin from me…
Hmm…
“Ah, goodbye Sua-chan~”
“Yes. Yozora, you too… Hmm… See you tomorrow…”
“…”
… Suspicious.
Why did he try to hide his injury? .
271
In times like this, the only thing you can do right away is apply an ice pack.
But unfortunately, the freezer was empty, and I didn’t have the habit of keeping ice frozen…
First, I tried holding a cool water bottle on my left ankle.
At first, I thought the coolness would help me forget the pain, but it was still emergency treatment at best. Because it was low-quality emergency treatment, all it did was make me feel better for a moment.
Approximately 3 minutes. As I got used to the coolness, the same tingling pain as before began to penetrate my ankle.
“…”
Is it really right to go to Seo Woo Jin with something like this?
The living room where the two people left. I sat down on the sofa with her legs stretched out and let out a confused sigh.
As much as possible, I didn’t want to visit him.
And fortunately, it wasn’t a major sprain.
Based on my experience with spraining my ankle so far, it was a pain that would get better in about 3 days.
If you exclude everything else like that and only think about ‘me’, it’s just an injury that you don’t need to see Seo Woo Jin’s face at all…
The problem is ‘other people’.
Especially Yozora, who grinned and scratched me even when I kicked her out of the house,
… As soon as he finds out I’m hurt, he’ll stubbornly try to stick around.
“Whoa…”
It’s only a matter of time before you get caught. To Yozora and Yushiu.
Yozora will probably find out in about half a day.
Unless there is something special going on, I will encourage the three of you to have lunch together with Han Su-ah.
And Yu Si-woo…
It is said that all you have to do is not show the person standing up and walking, but realistically, this is impossible.
If you don’t help me with the midterm evaluation practice the day after tomorrow, I’m just tired of it.
But even if I try to hide it with such a clumsy trick, someone else might see my condition and say something like, ‘It looks like the student council president hurt his ankle.’
… In the end, that trash lingered in my mind again.
There was no way to hide it anymore, so I honestly said, ‘I’m horny, so please help me.’
Virgin too. I even took my first kiss arbitrarily.
A lump of sexual desire.
“… If only it wasn’t a man.”
I would never have gotten involved in such a strange relationship with that man.
I muttered to myself out of frustration and walked carefully towards the bathroom.
Fortunately, there was no problem with standing in the shower or sitting still in the bathtub. It didn’t matter since I had to brush my teeth and wash my face with my hands anyway.
But after finishing everything, walking out, wiping my wet body…
As expected, it was a bit difficult.
As always with a sprain, it seemed to get more painful as time went by.
“…”
One. After receiving treatment from Seo Woo Jin, I walked around pretending nothing had happened.
Instead, do something strange… In exchange for suffering a little.
Two. Being caught by Yozora, being teased in a way that made me feel neurotic, and being taken care of by Yu Si-woo, who wanted me to go away.
I hate both.
The worst and the lesser evil. You could say that’s about it.
But which of the two is more…
Really, what is better?
Of course.
“…”
After thinking while blowing the hot air from the dryer, I headed to the living room, brushing up my slightly sagging bangs.
… Cell phone.
Because it’s there.
*****
I received a call during the night.
It didn’t wake me up, but the call came after I closed my eyes and thought about whether it would be a good idea to talk to Yozora tomorrow.
Short vibration. After hearing what sounded like an incoming message, I stretched out my arm and picked up the smartphone that had been placed on the charger.
… It’s already past 12 o’clock.
If there is anyone worth contacting at this time…,
It must be Lee Ji-yoon.
[Baek Seo-yeon]
-Are you sleeping?
The predictions were spectacularly wrong.
The name that appeared on the screen was the person I knew who was most unlikely to contact me.
… It’s fascinating.
I’m not the kind of girl who would contact you again just because we had a casual flirtation last time.
She actually threatened to kill you, but she’s not the kind of woman who would contact you to do something like that again.
Then why on earth did I contact you at this time?
I laid down on my phone, so it was easier to see and tapped on the screen.
[Seo Woo Jin]
– Why?
– At a time like this.
Oh, I noticed earlier that Yozora and Han Su-ah were hanging out together, perhaps because they met by chance…
In the meantime, maybe my story came out for a moment.
Or maybe they’re looking for me because they got hurt somewhere late at night.
As soon as that thought occurred to me, I received the same message from Baek Seo-yeon.
[Baek Seo-yeon]
– I had a sprained leg, so I called to see if he was awake.
– No, ankle.
[Seo Woo Jin]
– What happened?
[Baek Seo-yeon]
– I was just walking and took a wrong step…
I took a wrong step.
When I saw you in Hongdae earlier, the three of you were in quite a noisy mood. Maybe you were drunk and took the wrong step.
After running my hand through her hair to see if there was any damage, I took off the blanket covering her and sat down on the side of the bed.
Whatever it is, it’s a good reason.
… Baek Seo-yeon needs to be treated by me, and I like her in her own way.
Just the two of us like this. If we can meet at a late hour, there is no reason to refuse.
Rather…
It seems like something I would welcome more.
[Seo Woo Jin]
– So, do you want me to come now?
[Baek Seo-yeon]
– I told you last time. If you keep touching a man, strange things will happen.
– Still, I don’t want to go to the public health clinic tomorrow to get treatment, just in case…
If you meet me in the health room tomorrow, you might get horny again and get into quite a bit of trouble.
To tell you my honest thoughts…, I was curious about Baek Seo-yeon’s embarrassed face, even her ears blushing when faced with such a situation.
I didn’t know what would happen if I continued to tarnish my image, so I held back.
Anyway, considering that she felt that way even though it was her first time with Baek Seo-yeon, she might unexpectedly start liking sex.
So she might end up coming to the health room for no reason at all?
Oh yeah. Just like last time, I gave the same reason that I got slightly cut by her paper.
Well, I don’t think there was anything wrong with it touching me at the time.
[Seo Woo Jin]
– Can I go now?
Finally, when I asked her what she wanted, Baek Seo-yeon sent me a very ugly emoticon of her nodding her head.
It’s different from Yozora’s daily changing emoticons or Lee Ha-yoon’s carefully selected emoticons that you always see, and it’s an emoticon that makes you think, “Why pay money to buy something like this?”
… Looking at it again, it somehow seems like a basic emoticon.
You probably have a lot of money, but are you saving on something like this?
Well, the civilian clothes looked really cheap.
When I saw her earlier, she was wearing the windbreaker she wore while exercising.
For a moment, I also thought of Baek Seo-yeon’s empty house that I saw the other day.
I guess I have a frugal personality, I finished, got out of bed, put on whatever clothes I had in the closet, and headed toward the entrance.
*****
For an ordinary person to enter a wealthy village on foot without even a decent vehicle, it requires more courage than one might think.
The situation is a little better in the middle of the night like now, but while the sun is up in the sky… Definitely.
To put it simply, I think it would be better to express it as ‘being buried.’
If I were to compare it to a cartoon I saw as a child, it would be similar to the feeling of being oppressed by spiritual pressure.
It looks booty. It looks cute.
Although it can be expressed in words, it is quite an abstract expression to draw, but it is a place where people gather and there is no other way to express it.
That’s why Han Su-ah is somewhere.
So, Baek Seo-yeon lived somewhere.
What appeared before my eyes now was a girl who did not match the expression I had just given.
“Hello!”
“…”
“If you said hello first, can you answer me? Do I have to say こんばんは?”
If I remember correctly, this is probably the last corner leading to Baek Seo-yeon’s house.
What was there was Yozora, not Baek Seo-yeon, who had come to meet her first.
It’s also Yozora who hides her hands inside the long sleeves of her robe.
I stopped her steps and stood in her place, looking up at her with a questioning look as she smiled brightly.
… It was chilly at night, so I can at least vaguely understand why he looks like a jiangshi.
“Why are you here?”
The reason she’s here is that she doesn’t know.
To think that Baek Seo-yeon and I came back from Hongdae to here together…
Yozora’s house is a bit far from here.
“Walk!”
“Your house isn’t around here. … And you smell like alcohol.”
“Of course. I drank it just now! Besides, I can take a long walk, right?”
“Even if I ran, it would take me 15 minutes from here. And with my clothes on…”
“Oh, clothes! How do you think they look? Pretty, right?”
“…”
It’s something I’ve felt after watching for a long time, but Yozora doesn’t have ADHD, so why is the topic of conversation so distracting?
Is it just because my personality is like that?
I looked at her with her wide smile and said, ‘You didn’t ask that right now.’ For a moment, she was about to say the words she had been writing so desperately for 10 years.
The thoughts I had while lying in bed a while ago came to mind, so I swallowed 10 years of habits and lowered my gaze a little.
A dark-colored hooded zip-up that is large and loose enough to reach down to the hips.
I don’t know why, but when I wear that, a white t-shirt clings to me unnecessarily.
Jeans that just look good.
… Even slightly dirty white sneakers.
It’s hard to praise them for being pretty, but these are the clothes you see a lot around you. Especially in university areas.
So, normally I would have just ignored it and continued with the main topic.
Today, though,
Especially.
“… Yeah. It’s pretty.”
“… Huh?”
After giving an appropriate response, I continued with what I wanted to say.
“Anyway, were you really taking a walk?”
“… Huh? Uh. Uh-uh. I’m going to have a quick digestion before going to bed…”
“Then go on your way. I’m busy.”
“No, wait… !
“Why?”
“Well, I thought it was Seoyeon’s house around here…”
“That’s right. I’m going to see Baek Seo-yeon.”
“… Ugh?”
I just said I was going to see it, but I don’t think I said anything like that.
That alone made Yozora look quite fierce. As if asking if it was okay to reveal it so simply.
I looked around to see if anyone was passing by, and before she could bother me any further, she told me the reason.
What happens next after treatment is difficult to talk about even if you are Baek Seo-yeon’s friend…,
Until then, there is nothing special.
“I heard you sprained your ankle. I’m going to take a look at it for a bit and then go.”
“Uh, really?”
“…? Uh. Really.”
“… Fuha. It was real~ Hmm…”
But I don’t think it’s something to laugh about like that.
There’s no way I’m happy that my friend got hurt.
While she was wondering about Yozora’s strange reaction, Yozora rummaged in her hoodie pocket, took out her cell phone, and started tapping on her screen.
“What are you doing? While talking, suddenly.”
“Oh, I think I need to contact you as soon as possible.”
“To whom?”
“Eh. What if you ask for a woman’s privacy so freely? There are some women whose lifelong wish is to be raped, so you have to be careful. Oh, and… Cheese.”
“… Hey, Mr. Why is the flash suddenly showing again…”
“Stay. Stay. Don’t you know Instagram sensitivity?”
Click.
I don’t know where to use it,
To take a photo that was clearly half covered by my hand.
