Chapter 383 – 69. Festival (5)
.
The Academy Festival was the same taste I always had.
In fact, to use the worn-out expression, “I always ate,” I only enjoyed it twice, including when I went to a university festival with Baek Ji-ho when I was eating school lunch.
“You like this. Takoyaki.”
“… Ah, uh. I like it.”
“Let’s go.”
After class ended late, she started hanging out with her boyfriend.
As I passed by, I saw a Takoyaki truck that smelled delicious, so I quickly filled my stomach there.
To be honest, I couldn’t say that the food was of very good quality, but I chewed it and swallowed it, thinking that it was something to do with festival food.
If it were Hayun sitting here, she would only say things that her boyfriend would like.
Or, you know, pushing a takoyaki at your boyfriend and telling her to open her mouth.
On the other hand, I get it from my boyfriend.
Of course, I had no intention of doing such an embarrassing thing.
What is this embarrassing thing that people who are like family do to each other?
However, I have the intelligence to not say things my boyfriend might not like.
I pretended to like it, chewed it and swallowed it at a reasonable speed.
… Well, unlike me, Baek Ji-ho, who was sitting across from me, dipping his takoyaki with a toothpick, didn’t look like he was thinking anything.
Seeing as I was chewing it quickly, I guess it suited my taste.
“I see that they take Polaroid pictures over there. Do you want to do it? The sunset is setting right now, so I think it will be pretty if you get a good picture.”
“… Okay. Let’s go.”
As I passed by, I saw a booth that took Polaroid photos, so I headed there.
To be honest, should I say he is manly or rude? Would something like this suit us? But the negative thought kept coming to my mind.
Likewise, since I had seen it before, it suited me well.
Seo Woojin. Even though there are a lot of things I don’t like about this guy, I have a lot to learn from him about behaving like a couple.
Especially when you’re bored like us… Especially for couples who are looking for something similar.
From then on, I spent my time doing some personal things.
It’s a hot day, so I’ll choose the beaded ice cream again.
From what I heard, 1st year. Or buy and eat chicken skewers grilled by a junior transcendental master who controls flames.
After enjoying various snacks, I stopped by the crowded flea market and looked at things like handmade keyrings.
“…”
But of course.
It didn’t feel special.
No matter how you look at it, it was just a regular date with Baek Ji-ho. That extension.
I stared at him, who now felt like my real brother, and adjusted my clothes with a light snort.
One of the reasons is that the weather has warmed up a bit as the sun has set.
Above all, as the number of people around increases, the number of gazes naturally directed in this direction also increases significantly.
To put it a little more accurately, my body. Eyes looking here and there.
I don’t say it out loud because I think it might be a form of excessive self-consciousness, but the stares I get from various places are definitely real.
I moved my head inadvertently and made eye contact with a man I didn’t know. I furrowed my eyebrows and turned my head in the other direction.
… Okay. I understand why they do that.
When I was in high school, I often heard girls behind my back talking behind the bathroom door, saying things like, ‘Sul Da-bin is pretty, but doesn’t she look like a slut?’ Or, ‘I heard you got caught in front of the tel the other day.’
I just wanted to be friends with everyone.
Did I have an inferiority complex?
Asshole bitches.
If women even spread such absurd rumors among themselves, how would they look in the eyes of men of different genders?
… The expression may be a bit dirty, but it will probably make your mouth water.
There’s no way you wouldn’t notice the gaze licking your breasts or thighs as it’s not even a day or two.
Ha… Maybe I should have just told you about my boyfriend sooner then.
If that were the case, I don’t think I would have heard about the motel.
If I hadn’t revealed that I had a boyfriend first thing when I came to the academy, would my friends now have the same thoughts as those damn bitches back then?
No, the one thing I said about looking like a rag was deep down…
I remember something from the past and think negatively for a while.
Before I could feel even more depressed, I clicked my tongue and stretched out my hand.
It was to grab the wrist of Baek Ji-ho, who had been one step ahead of me.
“Let’s go over there. Toward the outdoor concert hall.”
There’s no way you’ll find anything special if you wander around anymore.
If there was something like that, it would have been noticed a long time ago.
So, I took the lead again and walked to the outdoor concert hall with my boyfriend, who was humming a song.
Is it because the sunset is fading downwards, and a dusky blue light is embroidering the sky?
The outdoor concert hall was already crowded with people.
It’s summer, isn’t it hot like that? So much so that I thought that way without even realizing it.
What was it? I heard that if you are an academy student, you can go right up to the front and watch the performance on a first-come, first-served basis.
Looking at the situation, it was clear that it was already too late, and I didn’t want to get in the way, so I took Baek Ji-ho with me and left the audience.
I was in the middle of listening to the voices of celebrities I didn’t know very well.
“…?”
Stir.
A person watching at the edge of the crowd.
Looks like Seo Woo Jin.
“… Hmm.”
“Why?”
“Ah, I know someone over there… I see a friend.”
“Friend?”
“A friend from class A.”
I feel bad about describing Seo Woo Jin as ‘someone I know’.
Of course, as a health teacher, I am in the category of someone who knows, but there is something…
I’m not particularly close with that guy.
Rather, he is just a person of interest.
… No, it didn’t really matter though?
Anyway, we exchanged greetings once in a downtown area before, so did you think Baek Ji-ho was like that?
It’s not strange that I’m only vaguely familiar with my friend’s boyfriend…
As I said before, I am also a health teacher.
Am I needlessly overreacting?
“Oh, the health teacher over there?”
“… Not really. A real friend. The last time I met him, he looked unwell.”
Well, now that I think about it, it’s just spilled water.
Instead of giving an explanation, I only added briefly and started looking for Hayoon, who would be right next to him.
Of course, it was inevitable that I saw Seo Woo Jin first because he was easy to find due to his height.
If you look around him, you will be able to find Hayun in no time.
Just then, Jiyun’s pure white hair can be seen right away.
The white, medium-haired girl next to Seo Woo Jin’s shoulder, who is quite close probably because there are a lot of people, must be Jiyoon.
Then she’ll probably be on the front or back or on the other side…
Ah. I found it.
I don’t know where I got it from, but I’m eating something like jjondeugi.
… Not even a squirrel.
“Are you talking about Jae? Black hair. The white one was her sister.”
“… Uh.”
“Hmm~”
“…”
“Is it because you want to listen to it with your friends?”
“… Huh? No? I just saw it because I saw it. I didn’t think much of it.”
“Ah. I saw that you kept looking over there, so I was just wondering.”
“I just saw it. Just.”
It wasn’t a lie.
I guess they went on stage first in order of the lowest cost, but since it was a song I didn’t know well by an idol I didn’t know well, I was bored, so I turned my attention elsewhere, and there happened to be someone there who caught my eye.
Just the subject is slightly… It’s just different.
… Looking back, I wonder if I reacted a little strangely, but fortunately, Baek Ji-ho didn’t ask any more questions and started enjoying the performance on stage.
Take pictures too. While waving her hand in response to her response. Work hard.
But that…,
“…”
I wondered if it was the right thing to do to stare blankly at a female idol next to her girlfriend.
I didn’t need to say it.
I also think that if a handsome male idol were standing up there, my eyes would be drawn to him.
What can I do?
However, human instinct is like that.
“… Haa…”
Anyway, what is Hayun doing?
I was getting tired from the heat of her outdoor concert hall, so after watching a few performances, I glanced at where she was once again.
“…?”
But now, all three were nowhere to be seen.
Although Hayun and Jiyoon will be somewhat hidden due to their height, Seo Woojin is quite tall, so you will be able to see at least her face like before.
Even that wasn’t visible.
I didn’t look at the clock, but didn’t I take my eyes off it for about 10 minutes?
Did you leave because the performance got no longer fun?
Or did they just move places?
While my boyfriend was preoccupied with the female idol on stage, I was trying to find the whereabouts of the three by tiptoeing into her.
“…”
… I was able to find it thanks to Jiyun’s white hair.
Where on earth are those people going?
There aren’t any booths or food trucks over there,
It’s just towards the main building?
“… Ugh, be careful.”
“Oh, sorry. There are so many people, it’s too narrow.”
For a moment, I was pushed aside by the person who was having fun next to me and I couldn’t even say a word.
After receiving the half-hearted apology, I looked at the backs of the three people once again.
Are you trying to use the building’s restroom?
It seems strange that three people are going together.
Of course, all three may have their own intentions, but it is usually more natural for at least one person to stay and take their place.
So what is it?
Why are the three of us heading towards the dark main building together?
In the midst of the commotion of the festival, he used Seo Woo-jin’s teacher rank to give Ji-yoon a tour of her academy…, What’s strange is that he was a first year student here?
Or, well, even if Hayoon and I are doing something dirty together, what about the younger sister right next to us before we get to the security guard…
“…”
While I was continuing to think like that. Inadvertently.
Suddenly, I thought of Hayun, who was in a strange condition a few days ago.
As if there was something very urgent, he was hiding behind Seo Woo Jin and fidgeting.
… If I was alone with Seo Woo Jin, I would definitely use Rotor or Vibe… I wondered if he was using it.
But because her younger sister was next to her, she fell into the labyrinth.
That Hayun.
“Whoa…, … Uh, what is it? Dabin, you like these people’s songs. Have you lost interest?”
“… Oh, no, no. Just wait…”
Before I knew it, singers who seemed expensive to cast began to appear one by one on stage, but my nerves were already busy following the three people in the distance.
And what comes to mind is the word ‘what if’.
And it is Seo Woo Jin’s past that supports it.
Sex… They even made things like sex partners.
No matter how hard you try to think positively, the past is extremely unfavorable.
And Hayoon, who was hiding behind Seo Woojin and shaking and catching her breath right before getting into the taxi,
When I visited Jiyun late at night, she was sweating profusely and trying to catch her breath.
As I climbed the stairs, I heard a loud crashing sound from inside the room.
Lastly, that day was the day Seo Woo-jin took Hayun to her house… If you add the fact that.
“… Wait a minute. I need to go to the bathroom. I’ll call you when I get back.”
“Uh, come back.”
Because a rather messy conclusion emerges.
I hope not.
To prove that it is not.
I patted Baek Ji-ho on the shoulder and quickly left the crowd.
