I Hear Strange Noises in the Health Room. 393

Chapter 393 – 70. Back Alley (7)

.

“Here.”

“It’s further down the alley than I thought.”

“Daehakro is like that. There is a big road. There are alleys like this. And there are restaurants hidden in these alleys.”

This is the end of the companionship that bothers me for no reason.

As I jumped like a cat and went under the eaves of the store, Seo Woo-jin, who was left alone, followed behind me, folding his rain-covered umbrella.

I’m not sure exactly, but it’s roughly 10 minutes from the arcade.

It was a time when I was worried about even blinking my eyes, so now I can finally breathe.

Of course, it’s not because I was conscious of Seo Woo Jin.

… Oh, no. To be precise, it is correct to be conscious.

It would have been better if he was just a man I knew, since Seo Woo-jin is Hayun’s boyfriend.

Isn’t it strange that he is so attached to me, another woman?

It’s easy to be misunderstood.

At least once the festival is over, she plans to go on a double date with Hayoon and her couple, which is a shame because she told her friends that…

What would it have been like if someone I didn’t know saw it?

It’s a perfect situation for misunderstanding.

The rain, which I thought was a shower, still showed no signs of stopping.

Still, I don’t want to face the same situation again, so it would be better to just stop by any convenience store.

Let’s take a moment to make some plans after lunch.

I heard the sound of Seo Woojin putting away his umbrella and looked in that direction.

“…”

Shoulder.

It was very wet.

“Is that okay?”

“Yes?”

“That’s it. Shoulder.”

“… Ah. If I leave it alone, it will dry out, well.”

“It will have to be thin, but…”

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”

How can I not pay attention?

I think it happened because of me for no reason.

Ok, lightly biting my lip, I stared at Seo Woo Jin’s shoulder, which he was trying to hide.

What would it have been like if Seo Woo Jin had just passed on air hockey, which he jokingly suggested?

If I had brought an umbrella in the rain, the burden on my heart would have been lessened.

If Seo Woo Jin hadn’t asked me to take a look at the arcade together, I don’t think anything would have happened if Seo Woo Jin had come here alone.

A lot of cases of IF came to mind, but in the end it ended there.

I forced myself to look away, opened the store door, and went inside.

At times like this, I half-jokingly asked why Baek Ji-ho had such a troublesome personality.

Because that kept coming to mind.

It’s only half a joke,

It also means being half sincere.

“Welcome. Have you made a reservation?”

“No.”

“Then this way…”

Let’s forget it. Let’s forget it.

It was done with good intentions, so let’s just accept it and move on.

I pretended like nothing was wrong and headed to the table I was guided to.

But to make matters worse, the place we arrived at after being guided by the staff.

“…”

“Please place your order using the tablet here. If you need anything, please use the staff member’s call.”

“… Yes.”

… Seating for 2.

I wondered if it had to be here, but for now I just sat down.

At first, I didn’t even think about such trivial things, but the first reason is that in the end, it was my fault.

The second reason is that other tables are almost full, probably because it is lunchtime.

And the third reason is that Seo Woo Jin, sitting across from me, doesn’t seem to mind.

Below article Couples often sit together in places like this, so it’s nothing to be concerned about, so it wouldn’t be strange to think that they were sitting together with friends.

Of course, as in the example, it was a too complicated relationship to consider Seo Woo Jin a friend…

Anyway.

“Would you like 1.5 servings?”

“Hmm… That would be good. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing air hockey for so long, I’m starving.”

“And you said you wanted to eat something spicy, right? Then roughly…”

Any type of pasta that includes peperoncino would be fine.

I’ll make it with tomatoes. After receiving confirmation from Seo Woo Jin and finishing my order, I leaned back in my chair, feeling somewhat exhausted.

“…”

“…”

And what followed was silence.

Personally, it was quite an uncomfortable silence.

The other tables were moderately noisy with the sound of dishes and conversations, but the table we sat at was quiet and there was no sound.

It was something that could not be helped.

The only thing that immediately comes to mind is, I’m sorry for making you feel the same rain as before – that’s all it is, so what can I do?

To have a trivial chat with Seo Woo Jin…, … We’re not even that close.

I took out her cell phone countless times.

I didn’t know, but there was a call from her boyfriend.
To summarize, it’s a call asking if you’re not home right now.

When I checked when it was sent, it seemed like I was in the middle of a bloody battle with Seo Woo Jin.

Judging from the few words of self-talk that followed, I guess I heard the story roughly from my mother.

I didn’t hear it exactly, but I guess I just guessed that he went out to meet a friend in the morning…

I still forgot this, so I guess I’ll have to send it to you and apologize.

I was in the middle of writing a KakaoTalk message to make myself feel sorry.

[Lee Hayoon]

– Dabin.

– Do you like arcades?

Because Hayun suddenly contacted her, she looked at the other side of the table, wondering if anything would happen.

I immediately saw Seo Woo Jin making eye contact.

It seems to be just as expected.

“… Did you talk about the arcade? To Hayun?”

“Yes. Even my sister knows that the bowling alley is closed.”

“How much did we talk about?”

“I was just wondering how about an arcade instead of a bowling alley. My sister said she would try contacting them. I guess they did it right away.”

“I don’t remember saying I definitely liked it. I said I wasn’t sure.”

“I don’t know anything else, but I think you like the one thing I did earlier. That… Air hockey.”

“It’s not that I like him. I was trying to scold him because he was being picky.”

“I’m being picky…”

However, since I couldn’t immediately think of a better alternative than the arcade, I didn’t stubbornly deny it.

I also feel sorry for getting caught in the rain a little while ago, so the reply I sent to Hayun was, ‘Well. ‘I don’t hate it.’ Everything.

That’s why Hayoon’s subsequent KakaoTalk seemed to be trying to persuade me to drag me to the arcade, so she ended up acting like she was trying to persuade me.

An arcade wouldn’t be bad either. Should I go tomorrow – something like this.

“…”

… However.

Rather, this is what started to bother me.

“Why is the reaction like that?”

“Yes?”

“You’re holding back your laughter. Put your hand down there.”

“No. I think you’re misunderstanding.”

It’s Seo Woo-jin who is trying to hide the mocking smile by resting her chin.

“In the end, I won, right?”

“It took a long time. I think it was four or five rounds.”

“Four rounds. Don’t secretly add one more round.”

“Then I think it would be correct to say that the total score is 3 to 1.”

“There is a time it takes to warm up, so we have to take that out.”

“How long did it take for your body to completely relax?”

“…”

Speaking of one game, I’m worried that I’ll still have a conscience after just getting caught in the rain.

Speaking of two versions, I wonder if that is true for the evolutionary world and for the public.

Three rounds doesn’t seem like much to me, so it’s off the topic.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally chose the third answer sheet.

It may be unsightly, but it is a way to sneak away from an unfavorable topic of conversation.

“Okay. Let’s say it was a draw today, and tomorrow we’ll do it again with Hayun and Baek Ji-ho in a 2-2 match. Then, I’ll definitely win from the beginning.”

“Then should we risk something? So that there is an atmosphere of competition?”

“Okay. What do you want to risk? Or, what do you want to get?”

Fortunately, Seo Woo-jin proposes a bet with a gentle smile instead of being left hanging until the end.

When I asked him what he wanted to bet on, he looked like he was thinking about it, but then calmly made an unexpected suggestion.

“If I win, please give me advice on just one of my concerns.”

“Yes?”

“Is it a little strange?”

“… It’s strange.”

It’s strange.

A person who seems to have no worries asks me for advice on their concerns.

Now that I think about it, the last time I ran into Hayun and I at a tteokbokki restaurant, didn’t we get some advice about our concerns?

Does counseling for concerns have a special meaning?

Or is it a hint that there is something you want to say about Hayun?

As I continued to think while tapping the table, Seo Woo Jin spoke up a little more.

“Last time I heard, you said you’ve been dating your boyfriend for over 10 years. I also heard that he’s a childhood friend you’ve known since you were young.”

“… That’s true.”

“That’s why I want to consult about my concerns.”

“…”

As I pointed out my boyfriend, it seems like the story has something to do with Hayun…

It is still a puzzling word.

However, seeing as it is not clearly stated, it seems like it is something that is difficult to talk about.

As I continued to speculate as to what it was, I eventually took a step back and nodded.

Well, counseling isn’t particularly difficult.

“Then let’s do it. Instead, if Baek Ji-ho and I win… Um…”

“Please feel free to tell me. I’m going to keep it a secret from my sister anyway.”

“You mean it’s a bet just for the two of us?”

“Yes.”

“… Then, what…”

“…”

“I just need one consultation. If we do this, we’ll be the same.”

“Good.”

… Come to think of it, me too.

Just like I asked last time about ‘lover-like behavior’.

Because I thought it would be good to hear more advice like that.

*****

The meal is over.

Now that we have finished our work, it is time to part ways.

As promised, I paid for lunch and left the store, thinking of Seo Woo-jin waiting outside the door.

As soon as you open the door, what you see is Seo Woo Jin’s wide back looking into the alley.

And the feast of noisily pouring water.

The sound of the musty rain leaving marks on the floor and disappearing hits my eardrums.

No matter how soon the rainy season comes, there seems to be a hole in the sky today.

Seeing that it’s still raining like this, definitely.

… But now that it’s like this.

I think it would be difficult to keep going with just one umbrella.

If we each arrive at the station, and it’s raining there, we’ll be in trouble again.

“”Over there.””

Wouldn’t it be better to get another umbrella?

When I tried to say that, my voice overlapped with that of Seo Woo Jin, who was about to start talking.

I was embarrassed for a moment, but Seo Woo-jin gave in to tell me first, so I blurted it out.

“Umbrella. Shall we look for it a little?”

“Oh, I was just about to say that too.”

Then the story becomes easier.

If I remember correctly, there was probably a large convenience store around there.

Since the store is large there, it is highly likely that there will be stock left.

Therefore, it was the moment when I approached Seo Woo Jin while explaining the way to the convenience store.

“… Oh, wait…”

Is it because of the rain?

Or was it the store’s unique stone floor that was the problem?

Because the ground under my feet was slippery like a sheet of ice, I almost lost my balance and fell on the rain-covered street.

As he almost fell, fortunately the catastrophe of falling into the rain did not occur.

It’s because my motor skills were good to begin with, and because Seo Woo-jin, who was right next to me, hurriedly caught my body when I was about to fall.

“Are you okay?”

“S-sorry…”

“No. Why do I have to say I’m sorry? Rather, I’m the one who’s sorry. … I touched you.”

“… Don’t worry. If you hadn’t caught me, something even worse could have happened.”

… Meanwhile, Seo Woo Jin was holding me as if he was hugging me, and his hand was firmly touching my chest.

Because this is something that can’t be helped,

I’m just grateful for your help, but I don’t really want to say anything,

I’m not even interested.

“There are no injuries, right? A sprain or something.”

“… I think it’s okay.”

“Phew… That’s a good thing. Then, let’s go to the convenience store…”

“…”

Just now, I was hugged tightly in Seo Woo Jin’s arms and touched his body, then fell…, … That big one.

… I wouldn’t have known if it had been anywhere else, but it was exactly between my thighs.

“…”

… Male genitalia.

… Right?

… When erect,

Getting much bigger.

“…”

… Is that right?

Really?
