Chapter 395 – 71. Double Date (2)
.
Sunday morning.
After turning off the alarm I had set, the first thing I did was check the weather forecast again.
Fortunately, there was no change in the probability of precipitation.
10%. At this rate, it can be said that there is virtually no chance of rain.
It saved me the trouble of having to carry an umbrella.
It takes a while to straighten out your wrinkled and disheveled pajamas while you sleep.
Now that you’ve solved your biggest questions, it’s time to check social media.
Interesting things always happen while I’m in dreamland, so I guess I’ll watch it later.
I laid her head comfortably on her pillow and pulled down her notification window in a position that would make my mom really hate it.
The first thing you see is a few notifications with the name ‘Lee Hayoon’ written in plain text.
Since it was Hayoon and not anyone else, I thought maybe they were talking in a temporary chat room created to plan a date.
Moreover, unlike in reality, he was a surprisingly quiet person on social media.
But without end, I say, ‘I’m sorry!’ It just says, so I’m not sure what it means…
The most likely thing, given the circumstances, is that he is canceling the double date due to personal reasons.
Does that mean it will be canceled completely? Does this mean we should reschedule next time?
Honestly, isn’t it a bit late to say it now?
Actually, if you know it, it might just mean something different.
While my sleepy brain was trying to figure things out, I slowly touched the message.
Exactly ‘I’m sorry!’ It may not have been possible if only the words were sent, but there were invisible messages piled up in layers.
[Lee Hayoon]
– Is it okay if we delay our meeting time today? What?
– Hey? Are you there?
– Mr. Davin? Boyfriend? Are you sleeping?
– Well, it’s already dawned…
– Well then, it feels like I am giving notice!
– Can we delay the time we agreed to meet today by just one hour?
– I feel like I’m going to sleep in late…
– I’m sorry!
Anyway, to summarize, I think I’ll be an hour late.
As I was lying on my side and fiddling with my phone, I roughly replied that I understood.
Since we were supposed to meet at 10 in the morning anyway, even if we delay the meeting time a little, there will be no problem with the restaurant or café we have reserved.
I see that the 3 at the end of the message hasn’t changed for a long time, Hayun too. Seo Woojin too. And Baek Ji-ho seems to be sleeping too.
… If I had known this would happen, I would have slept an hour longer and then woke up.
It’s a shame.
I was just wandering up and down the group chat screen, wondering if there was anything else to say.
“…”
By chance.
The time when Hayun sent the message caught my eye.
… There was something about dawn in the content earlier.
It was a KakaoTalk message sent at 3 in the morning. This.
“…”
Even though it’s the weekend, it’s already 3 in the morning.
Hayun stayed awake until that time.
Having already figured out the reason in my head, I looked again at the content posted in the group chat room.
As a result, I learned one more thing.
“… You’re only asking Baek Ji-ho and me.”
She doesn’t ask Seo Woo Jin if it’s okay for her to be late by an hour.
Of course, I may not have asked because he is my boyfriend,
I guess this is it.
“… Did you watch a movie together?… With Seo Woo Jin.”
Having sex like this until late at night and only then going to bed.
He let out a lot of moaning like I had secretly overheard the other day, and simply said on KakaoTalk that he was sorry for oversleeping.
Because that doesn’t make sense.
… It looks like they held hands and watched a late-night movie together.
Maybe.
395
“I’m sorry I’m late. Baek Ji-ho, this bastard asked me to buy him a drink… Which led to me missing the subway right in front of me.”
“No, no! Didn’t I put it off by an hour in the first place? I’m actually sorry~”
Hyehwa Station, same as yesterday.
As we tried to treat Seo Woo Jin as normally as possible, Hayun, who was waiting for us right next to him, smiled brightly.
What you can see underneath the bright smile is a soft white off-shoulder blouse.
A small mini cross-body bag was draped cutely next to her black tennis skirt that reached about mid-thigh.
… It’s amazing. Always a t-shirt and jeans. Sometimes a skirt. The kid who used to dress like this ended up wearing clothes like that.
Since getting to know Hayoon, I have never seen her wear clothes like that.
The reason she bothered to wear it was because of the man right next to her.
Maybe that’s what Seo Woo Jin’s taste is like.
Maybe it’s the clothes you chose yourself.
Whatever the reason, I won’t deny that it matches perfectly with Hayun’s bright image.
The fact that the shoulder line is white and pretty is an added point, and even my boyfriend is glancing at it, so it looks like it looks good on men’s eyes.
It’s not a girl I like, but I can’t tell her not to look at a girl like Hayoon.
After giving up, I walked closer to them, shielding myself from the already hot sun with my hand.
“… Hehe. It’s my first time doing this, and I’m so excited. What should I do? Dabin?”
“Can I be honest? I don’t think it’s that bad.”
“Eh. I haven’t given permission yet to say it’s okay… Anyway, I wanted to see you at least once. How are other couples doing? Things like that. Plus, Dabin can hang out with you. Right?”
“…”
I couldn’t agree with what she said about being excited, but I agreed to some extent with what she said.
How are other couples doing? I was curious about this too, so I suggested a double date.
The point of the data to be collected through this date is what Seo Woo-jin and Lee Ha-yoon usually look like.
It’s a bit strange to say it so stiffly, but anyway, since we are here to learn how to act like a lover, I think it would be a good idea to try to imitate as much as you can.
A friendly appearance or something. A bit of cringy behavior or something…
Oh, of course, that bright outfit is excluded.
It’s obvious that it won’t suit me because I look like a gangster.
I like these simple clothes.
“We met later than scheduled, so I’m a little lost in time. Hmm, do you think it would be a good idea to take a quick walk before lunch? Or maybe go to the animal café that was left out of the course?”
The men right next to us were having a normal conversation, saying things like apologizing for being late.
I took my attention away from them and glanced at Hayun, who was lightly touching her lips as she was thinking.
The place where the gaze naturally goes is below the face.
This is the part of the neck that is shaded because the sunlight is blocked by fresh leaves and a ponytail.
… Isn’t that always the case when you watch dramas or webtoons?
If you do something dirty, something like a kiss mark is always left behind… I got caught by someone else… Anyway.
The reality may be slightly different, but I looked into it just in case. Just in case.
However, contrary to my expectations, no strange traces were found.
Hayun’s neck was just like I always saw, just showing off her white skin.
The same thing happened to the area around the upper chest and collarbone that I looked at next.
Did I remove it with foundation or something?
When my thoughts reached that point, I cleared my throat and erased the speculation.
Isn’t this the only way to check Hayun’s evidence after confirming that she fell asleep late yesterday because they had sex until dawn?
… It could be that I actually fell asleep late while watching a late-night movie.
Is it because the rain has stopped? Beneath the sound of cicadas chirping noisily.
I wiped the corners of my mouth and spoke in a light voice.
“Well, let’s go to a café. Let’s look at the animals.”
Going for a walk in this weather was sure to make me irritated because it was so hot.
*****
It turns out that the café opens at 13:00.
Since I was in the middle of wondering if the current time would be 12 o’clock at most, I hastily revised my plan once again.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long.
It is always open during this time, and is a place to enjoy lightly before lunch.
Didn’t you find something with Seo Woo Jin yesterday?
“Are you good at this, sister?”
“Well… I’ve tried it a few times, but I don’t think I’m very good at it…”
Arcade.
I came back to the same place I stopped by yesterday and made a suggestion while holding a stick.
It’s not a big deal, it’s just an ordinary bet where the loser pays all the lunch costs.
I made a bet in case one of them, Hayoon or Baek Jiho, would react badly…
Fortunately, both people responded well.
… Unfortunately.
There was a huge difference in skills.
“No, is this difficult? You can just hit what comes, right?”
“… It was harder than I thought?”
Wouldn’t it have been better if we had competed alone 1v2?
This time, I ended up developing it.
It’s almost embarrassing to even call it a close match.
Seo Woojin, me, Hayoon. There was no significant difference in the skills of the three people. It was good up to this point.
But just one thing. The hole in Baek Ji-ho was so big that there was no way to do anything.
Unlike yesterday, when we lost by at most 3 points, today we had more than a double score, so I’ve said everything.
… Ha. Really…
Well, being annoying is being annoying. It was not my intention not to accept the result.
Everyone seems too tired to do it again right now, and if the opportunity arises again sometime in the future, we will avenge this humiliation not in a 2-on-2 fight but in a fair 1-on-1 fight.
I approached Seo Woo Jin, who was catching his breath, and said, ‘You’re better than I thought.’ After spitting out awkward words like that, I slowly walked under the air conditioner and started to cool off.
“…”
… Then, first, pay for lunch with Baek Ji-ho.
Do we need to provide separate counseling for Seo Woo Jin’s concerns later?
Counseling for concerns.
Counseling for concerns.
Umm…
“You’re better than I thought, right? I heard you’re definitely not that good.”
“Ugh… Wait a minute, my hair is ruined… Hey…”
Seo Woo-jin is stroking Hayun’s black hair with his large hand.
As I was looking at him treating her like a younger sister rather than an older sister, I imagined Baek Ji-ho caressing me like that for about a second, but then I immediately slapped it away.
Seo Woo-jin, who has a good physique, and Hayoon, who is petite. These two get along very well together doing something like that, but imagining me and Baek Ji-ho doing something like that is so cringe-inducing that I can’t watch it.
… Besides, seeing it like that gives me a general idea.
When two people have sex, it definitely feels similar to that…
“…”
Anyway. What are the worries of a man like that?
Even if I just think about cancer, I don’t know.
Surprisingly, it could be something so trivial that it would be embarrassing to call it counseling.
Or, you may have surprisingly complicated concerns.
… Well, you’ll find out later when the time comes.
As I continued to think, I secretly looked at the clock on my phone.
“Hmm…”
It’s noon at best now.
There is still a long time left before we stop by the bar that was selected as the last course of the double date.
If you stay with those two until then, you’ll learn something.
I let out a soft sigh and walked away from the air conditioner.
