Chapter 292 – 56. Cutting in Line (4)
.
After deleting the sexy photos left on the chat just in case, a short period of time passed.
He even told me that it would be difficult to meet him right away, but I can’t beg him to get rid of me quickly like a child.
In any case, the most important thing about this meeting with Seo Woo Jin can be said to be ‘creating unnecessary rumors.’
The student council president was walking around with the health teacher last night – rumors like that.
To be honest, she didn’t like the idea of having to pretend to be friends with such trash.
But if you want to easily drive out Yu Si-woo…, … This method was the simplest and most certain, so it was inevitable.
Besides, I could handle this much on my own, so I didn’t bother to think about other methods.
Me and Seo Woo Jin were secretly dating behind her back,
A sex partner you meet once in a while,
There is no way to control the spread of this kind of word, even if one thing is certain, such as driving out Yoo Si-woo.
But Seo Woo Jin was choosing a gift for her girlfriend, and I was just helping… If you match her mouth to that extent.
Because it will end with the image of being roughly ‘close friends’.
A friend of the opposite sex who is a little closer than others.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the relationship would be at that level, so even if it is not even a small issue, it would be quite a big blow to Yu Si-woo.
… That stalker would know better than anyone else that I never had a single male friend.
A place called my friend of the opposite sex.
Because it is also a place that Yu Si-woo has never been able to reach.
Probably moderately disillusioned.
Chew it moderately.
It will attract a fair amount of attention.
There are a ton of women at the academy who look like me anyway.
Yoo Si-woo, he too…, Because there are a lot of girls who follow me just by looking at my face.
“… Oh, and a hat, just in case…”
8 p.M.
A little past dinner time, a very tiring time.
After checking my attire to make sure I didn’t look as dressed up as possible, I left the house, putting on my ball cap tightly.
292
The meeting place was inevitably a downtown area where people were washing over like waves.
I hated places filled with the smell of alcohol and people, but if I wanted to stand out from the crowd, there was no better place.
I squeezed the ball cap I had brought with me a little tighter, walked to the side of the road to avoid being swept away by the waves, and started fiddling with my smartphone.
Since there wasn’t much to do with my phone, all I could do was turn on and off the message that Seo Woo Jin had sent saying, ‘I’ll be arriving soon, too.’
If I don’t do this, at best I’ll just sit there blankly watching people…
[Seo Woo Jin]
– Where is it?
“Okay…”
While I was repeating meaningless touching and going back, a new message took its place in the bottom row.
“…”
As it happened, it arrived while I was looking at it, so the number 1 probably didn’t even appear.
That, that… I was very embarrassed because I felt like I had been waiting for Seo Woo Jin to contact me the whole time, but I resolved my feelings by clearing my throat a few times.
… There’s not much to say from there anyway.
The one who cares loses.
[Baek Seo-yeon]
– It says the entrance to the PC room.
[Seo Woo Jin]
– How do you know if I say that? Are there one or two PC rooms there?
[Baek Seo-yeon]
– It’s right next to Exit 9, but…
[Seo Woo Jin]
– Then don’t stay there, come towards the exit. I will go there too.
After listening to it, I couldn’t refute it because I thought it was a hundred times true.
After scratching the back of my neck for a moment, I eventually sighed and headed toward the subway exit.
Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to find him.
Just because where my eyes naturally went, there was Seo Woo Jin.
Gray hooded zip-up and dark denim jacket.
And a lot of men wear it…, Ordinary pants whose name I don’t know.
Looking at it, I was relieved to see that I was just wearing what I could get my hands on, and it didn’t look like I was dressing up.
First, I didn’t really decorate it either.
“What if I explain the location like that? There are a few PC rooms around here.”
“… Are there that many?”
“Even though I don’t go to PC rooms, I know about three places I’ve been to.”
“… There are a lot.”
It’s a bit strange to dress up so much when you’re not even meeting a lover, but just meeting a friend.
It may seem like I was too conscious of other people’s opinions, but that was my impression anyway.
Therefore, my clothing itself was not much different from when I usually do cardio along the Han River.
… Although it is different in detail, it means that it is similar to the clothes worn when I first went to Seo Woo Jin’s house.
Since he even wore a hat, it was even further away from the word ‘decoration’.
So.
You won’t be mistaken by anyone for a date.
… Clearly.
“Well, anyway, I just have to do what I wrote in the chat, right?”
“For now…”
“Choose a gift for your girlfriend together…”
“…”
“Even though my birthday was far away, it wasn’t long until the anniversary.”
Seo Woo-jin walks one step ahead with a feminine body wash scent that is a bit awkward for a man.
Because of that, just before the useless imagination came rushing in, I lightly shook my head and walked after him.
… And then.
I keep getting distracted by the sweet scent that clearly belongs to another woman.
When I think about it carefully, it’s not that I’m worried…
… I just don’t want to keep smelling the same scent.
And there’s something strange about him just following behind me.
I had no choice but to go to Seo Woo Jin’s side.
“Hey, if it’s your girlfriend… Hansoo? … Yozora?”
“No. It’s someone else.”
“…”
If it were someone else, would it be the girl with the ponytail I saw the other day?
While continuing to reason rationally, I didn’t like something about his shamelessness and confidence, so I furrowed my brows and looked at him.
As I did in the past, I don’t intend to admonish ordinary people for sharing their feelings with only one person, unlike you.
I had long ago given up on hoping that this trashy man would think in a normal way, so I didn’t want to lose my strength.
But still…
Han Su-ah.
Yozora.
That… Did you say Hayun?
If you add me, who ‘inevitably’ fits in,
There are already 4 people.
If you add the women I don’t know, how many there are.
You trash man.
Well, I don’t have a special relationship with you, so I don’t really care.
… Some other women might feel bad.
Do I have no conscience?
“If you have a separate girlfriend, how many people are you dating…?”
“Including you… Five people.”
“Why are you including me there…! … No, five people?”
“That’s what I counted.”
“Not four, but five… Ugh… Name, birthday, well, hobbies. It must be really hard to memorize just that much.”
“It’s worth it if you actually try it.”
“Are you being sarcastic? … And my birthday and hobbies. Do you know?”
“I don’t know. And you said not to include it earlier?”
“… I will never tell you.”
“I was thinking of asking you to tell me anyway…”
“Huh? Senior?”
I was in the midst of contemplating whether I should at least poke at Seo Woo Jin’s cheeky legs with my toe.
As Seo Woo Jin walked, he turned the corner and came across a face he knew.
Fortunately, after seeing her for nearly a year, she was a female junior on the student council with whom I was reasonably familiar, but with whom I had an ambiguous relationship.
And the thing next to her…
“Hello.”
“… Ah, yes.”
Judging by the atmosphere and distance, it’s probably her boyfriend.
It may be rude to say it out loud, but he was a man who looked a bit like a gangster.
When you look at the style of clothes you wear, tattoos, earrings, etc., It’s natural to have a biased first impression.
… Moreover, it was quite unpleasant to have a woman look up and down my face and body.
“…”
Because at some point I stopped appreciating it.
Because I was just looking at my surroundings or looking the other way.
If you want to find a reason, maybe…
I thought it might have something to do with Seo Woo Jin being quiet next to me.
I didn’t bother to raise an issue and spoke out.
“I can see it from a place like this.”
“I didn’t expect to see my senior in a place like this… And the health teacher…”
The female junior’s gaze is right next to mine. No, rather than right next to it, it is gently pulled diagonally upward.
Then, he belatedly said ‘Hello’ to Seo Woo Jin one more time and smiled cutely.
… Is it because they treat me, the person they are talking to, like a folding screen?
Although I was slightly displeased with the female junior’s behavior, I passed this over without commenting.
Even though I couldn’t help but think narrow-mindedly, I didn’t want to appear like that on the outside.
“Oh, what are you two doing here?”
“… This person was trying to buy a gift for his girlfriend, and he asked me to help him.”
“Girlfriend? Really? Do you have a girlfriend? This is my first time hearing about it?”
“Yes. I didn’t really try to hide it… But it’s not something worth gathering together and announcing.”
“Ah…”
As he finished his explanation, the junior student, who seemed more motivated than when he was in the student council room, let out a small sigh.
… Actually, when it comes to Seo Woo-jin, I like her because she explains things well.
Why is he doing that?
Did you have a crush on Seo Woo Jin?
Then, why did you create a boyfriend?
Just handsome… A long man is frustrated because he belongs to someone else… Is that what it feels like?
Even after thinking about it, she wasn’t sure, so she asked carefully.
“Uh, a fan club… Is it the same thing?”
“Yes?”
“… I have a boyfriend next to me and his reaction is…”
“Eh?! This guy is just my oppa, my real oppa! How can I date a guy who looks like a chimpanzee like this!”
“Hey… I went to the academy with my own money…”
“Ah… I guess they don’t look much alike…”
“Is that true when you look at me? The adults around me keep saying that we look alike… Ugh…”
“It looks similar. If you just cut it short, it’s my face.”
“Shut up…!”
Ah. They were brother and sister.
The misunderstanding was resolved, but it was not particularly important information.
It’s just that my junior was looking at Seo Woo Jin somewhat favorably.
I was a bit frustrated when it was revealed that he had a girlfriend.
When I saw that,
Very slightly.
I just feel better.
If Seo Woo Jin has more women than now, there will be a greater possibility that he will not be able to meet her when he needs to.
… It is better to have as few women around as possible.
No, it’s better.
“Anyway, it seems like the senior and the public health teacher were closer than I thought. I didn’t know that until now…”
“… I feel like I have a friend. A friend of a friend… A feeling.”
“Ah, I know what it is. A friend of a friend… But aren’t relationships like that usually a bit awkward?”
“I see it often, so…”
“What? Often?”
“… If you go to the health room, you’ll see this person.”
“But, senior, you don’t have to go to the health room, right? You’re a third year student, so you hardly ever take classes…?”
“… Even when I meet my friends, I’m often seen as a sideshow… That’s just the way it is. Why are you pushing me in a weird direction?”
“Huh? Well, I didn’t mean to do that… Ahaha…”
… What? This is enough.
If I had said this much, I would have definitely remembered that I have a reasonably close relationship with Seo Woo Jin.
I stopped talking before it got any longer, and said goodbye to the two people with the excuse that I wanted to go home quickly because I don’t like crowded places.
And then a little further into the downtown area.
Selling precious metals like necklaces, perfume, etc…,
I took Seo Woo Jin to some offline stores that I had found in advance.
“…”
… It’s too late to just ‘pretend’ to help buy gifts,
From that gloomy figure that has been persistently following us for a while,
I feel like I’m going to get caught.
