Chapter 331 – 63. My Friend’s Boyfriend (3)
.
In the past, I definitely approached Lee Ji-yoon with that excuse.
It’s time to look back on memories that have become blurry due to old times.
She moved her feet following Seol Da-bin, who walked familiarly, probably because he had a lot of experience coming here.
The road was narrow due to the large number of people, but somehow.
Due to the nature of downtown, it is impossible to say things like walking on the right.
Even on ordinary streets, it’s normal to walk around as you please, but I didn’t expect you to think about such trivial things in such a noisy place.
Therefore, the jumbled footprints leave behind their own scent of perfume as they head towards their respective destinations.
She said, gently covering the tip of her nose because she didn’t like the smell.
“Thank you for the favor, but there is no need for you to care so much.”
“I need it. It’s because I like to be so nosy, so I just follow along.”
If we are to point out the facts unnecessarily, there is no way Seol Da-bin knows more about Lee Ha-yoon than Lee Ji-yoon.
But I didn’t mean to say that now.
What I said just now was just a rejection to try to get Seol Dabin to do what she said.
A cool evening breeze blows from somewhere, and the humidity is low.
The weather is neither cold nor hot, so it’s perfect for a long, mindless walk.
If things continue like this, maybe something good could happen today.
While I was walking along with that thought in mind, Seol Da-bin, who was walking ahead of me, turned around to face me.
“Or, what, you don’t want to hear it? What does Hayun like?”
How would that hostile expression change if it were completely consumed by bad pleasure?
Will I be able to make an uncharacteristically obedient expression?
In the first place, we might be defeated by pleasure.
The imagination in my head never ends.
Without knowing it myself.
“That’s not true, I thought it would be annoying.”
“Because it’s not bothersome, they just quietly follow along. They’re anxious, so I guide them. Guide.”
“… Thank you so much for that.”
“Of course. You should be grateful. It must be very difficult to figure this out on your own.”
Does Seol Da-bin really know the extent of my relationship with Lee Ha-yoon?
I found it funny that she was treating me like I had been dating for less than a week, but I went with it for now.
Is she mistaken for Cupid, or does she think she can be a protector? She is annoyed by Seol Da-bin, who acts triumphantly.
Because she was so mistaken that she was cute in her own way.
It is a reward.
“Do you know what food Hayun likes?”
“I heard it called tteokbokki last time.”
“What kind of tteokbokki?”
“Just something spicy.”
“Hmm… I know the general idea, but the details are lacking. Follow me. I’ll tell you about Hayun’s favorite place around here.”
“…”
“Once I tell you about that and a few places to remember, I’ll be back right away, so memorize it all at once. Or just write it down somewhere.”
So we arrived at a tteokbokki restaurant that felt like a shabby corner store.
Seol Dabin tapped her forearm and told her to write it down, so she wrote down the store’s name on her phone and showed it to her, and as she nodded, she followed Seol Dabin to the next location.
This is a kalguksu restaurant that Hayun praised as being really, really delicious.
This is a curry restaurant where Hayun promised herself that she would only eat curry here from now on.
Hayun said, ‘I want to take a look at this place…’ .’ The aquarium that left a review.
This is the store where Hayoon worked part-time and had a fight with her boss over the minimum wage.
Perhaps because of the many memories they had accumulated, detailed explanations were added to each store they visited.
Sometimes the details are so vivid that you wonder how she remembers them.
Could it be that she knew Lee Ha-yoon before she came to the academy?
Or maybe she just has a slightly better memory.
I glanced at Seol Da-bin’s back, and as I said earlier, as soon as the explanation was finished, I walked behind her to the subway station and opened my mouth.
Of course.
It’s not that I was so curious that I couldn’t control my curiosity and asked.
This is because it seemed like a good question to get off-topic and move on to Saddam.
“Before we part ways, I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“How do you know Hayun so well?”
Short question.
At that, Dabin gently tilted her head.
Her red hair was blowing lightly due to the evening wind.
Perhaps because of the glow of her sunset, the color is brighter than usual.
“Hmm…? We’re friends, you know?”
“That’s not what I meant. Well, I’ve known you for a long time. I think there’s an additional reason.”
“I watched it for 1 year. 1 year from 1st grade.”
“One year… Then I guess you just have a good memory.”
“Well, I never thought it was good… Isn’t it strange that you don’t remember even though we meet every day, talk and hang out?”
It wasn’t something I deeply sympathized with.
I just think that meticulous people might do that.
Because the purpose was not to argue anyway.
My only intention was to have a word with Seol Dabin, so I obediently nodded.
“Is that so?”
“You probably had friends in middle school and high school. Friends in elementary school often break up to go to different schools.”
“I don’t know. I’ve never been close with anyone.”
“Eh, really? There’s not just one person? And then… You’re making another partner?”
“Why are you lying about something like this? You have nothing to gain.”
“Have you been bullied at all? No, is it rude to ask something like this out loud…?”
Throughout the conversation, I gave answers calmly for a while.
Dabin, who glanced at me, took one hand out of the pocket of his hooded jacket and covered his mouth with the back of his hand as if he had made a mistake.
Since she is relatively tall for a woman, I thought she would naturally have large hands and feet, but contrary to my expectations, her hands are small enough to be cute.
Even though I only had one hand, I couldn’t completely cover up that sharp appearance.
“Maybe I got hit. Maybe I didn’t.”
“What’s the same? If it’s bullying, it’s bullying.”
“Are you the person who was cautious about being rude 5 seconds ago?”
“I thought it was okay based on your reaction. Are you hurt? I apologize, then.”
“Are you planning on doing it?”
“Of course there is. Of course, I don’t want to apologize because it seems like a perfect fit for a pervert like you… But first, Hayoon is my boyfriend.”
“…”
“Do you want an apology for saying I was an outcast?”
Seol Da-bin was still making a somewhat apologetic expression, but now he is asking with a faint smile on his face.
I felt like I was seeing her smile like that for the first time. I looked at her face for a moment, and before she felt anything strange, she told me not to worry.
I had a general idea of how she felt among her friends, but unfortunately, she still felt distant.
About two steps.
A distance where men and women are not misunderstood as having different relationships.
At a distance like this, the limit is to meet Seol Da-bin without avoiding his gaze.
“Maybe it’s because I usually talk about heroes a lot, but all the kids who were snooping around ran away.”
“Hero story? How much do you think you’ve done?”
“I think that’s all I talked about. In fact.”
“What? It was a hero joke. Hmm,~… It doesn’t look like that.”
“Hero shit?”
“Didn’t you mean that you memorized your birthday, were spotted one day, at some time, somewhere, and memorized something like this?”
“…”
“Or just what heroes are in which country and their rankings?”
If I tell the original story without any modifications, those eyes will definitely be filled with disgust.
So, I just nodded my head and walked down the shady tree-lined road following Seol Da-bin.
“It’s interesting. People in the same industry don’t usually do that.”
“Well, I’m actually an ordinary person.”
“Then switch with me. Let me live like an ordinary person like you.”
“Now that I think about it, it was an evolutionary system. Same as Hayun’s older sister.”
“For me, this is a little different because it specializes in the legs…”
Is it because the story about the bridge came up?
At some point, Seol Da-bin, who had been putting his hands in his pockets again, playfully swung his legs at the tree next to him.
It’s not a very serious pose, just a rough look.
Thanks to this, both my eyes and Seol Da-bin’s eyes turned to her thighs.
She may have been chilly because it was an early summer evening, but she wore a hooded jacket on top, but she was wearing pants that were typical of a normal summer day, so they covered her thighs and calves. And that’s why her pure white bare skin was fully exposed, up to her ankles.
“…”
So,
At best, it means that the subject has straight legs and looks like shit.
White thighs that look soft and have just the right amount of flesh.
Thin calves without even the slightest stain like a bruise.
Even though she’s just wearing sneakers, her ankles subtly show off.
Peach bones too.
Everything.
“…”
“…”
But maybe it was because the silence lasted a little too long.
Or maybe it was because she was embarrassed to have done something like that on the street.
Seol Da-bin, who finished her demonstration without saying a word, suddenly stopped talking and just cleared her throat and continued walking.
“I’m heading in this direction.”
“… I, that, on the other side of you… Yes.”
After she got to the subway station, she barely managed to spit out the words,
All the way.
*****
Dating app.
Should I just have installed it?
There’s also a location tracking function, so I can know for sure whenever that guy Seo Woo Jin goes somewhere strange.
Of course, if you get a different phone and use it in turns, it’s a waste of time, but anyway, if you want to instill awareness even for a moment…
As expected, they should have taken strong action instead of just assuming that the cell phone is clean…
“… Haa…”
… Just before.
Why was I so embarrassed?
Someone looking at your legs,
It just happened all the time.
It’s not like I feel embarrassed for doing something strange on the street.
Even at the academy, boys glanced at me.
Of course, it’s the same on the street.
Even on the subway just coming home, my grandfather was staring at me openly as if he didn’t notice.
Same goes for my boyfriend.
Things like this have always happened since I was in high school.
At best, something like this.
Why was I so embarrassed today?
“Dabin, are you there now?”
“Huh? Why?”
“I knocked on the wall earlier, but there was no answer.”
“… Come meet your friend for a moment…”
“Ah, friend. Earlier, my parents asked me to tell your parents that they enjoyed the braised ribs. Please tell them for me.”
“Okay… Uh. Yeah.”
… I don’t know.
It’s annoying.
Just don’t tell Hayun what she likes.
Because of my foolishness…
Ugh…
I really need to stop meddling now…
Really.
Really…
“…”
… No,
Don’t stare at a woman’s legs like that,
I think it would be best to just say this.
