I Hear Strange Noises in the Health Room. 409

Chapter 409 – 74. Without Anyone Knowing (2)

.

It was at a time like this that I came across Seol Da-bin.

I have no luck at all.

Because the timing was so bad, I clicked my tongue and turned around, being careful not to make a sound.

It’s annoying because the vibrating bell keeps ringing in her hand, but I can’t hear it all the way there.

There is no separate button, so it seems like you have to place it on the charger to turn it off.

I went up the stairs again, looking around at the vibrating bell.

I’d rather be Baek Seo-yeon and Yozora here.

If it had been the end for the two of us, it would have been okay if we didn’t have to hide like this.

It wasn’t like he was seeing another woman alone, and he could have somehow covered it up by mentioning Baek Seo-yeon’s position as student council president.

But one other person.

Since Su-ah’s face is so familiar, it was better not to meet her as much as possible.

Looking at Su-ah’s reaction earlier, it seems like she didn’t remember Seol Da-bin properly because she was embarrassed around me at the time, and Seol-da Bin-do only saw Su-ah in passing a few months ago, so it’s probably hard for her to clearly remember Su-a’s face…, If she were by my side she would be a different story.

It will probably bring back old memories.

In the end, you might think that all three of us have that kind of relationship with me.

Of course, this is only a problem after Seol Da-bin encounters my group,

Rather than acting loosely, it would be wiser to assume the worst.

“I wish you wouldn’t come this way…”

After passing the landing and climbing a little higher, I looked down from the top of the stairs to see if Seol Da-bin was coming this way.

But fortunately, Seol Da-bin is just sitting at her window seat on the first floor, tapping on her cell phone.
She didn’t think anyone would turn to the counter unless she made a loud noise, so she quickly got her drink.

She was at a loss as to what to do if Seol Da-bin came up to the second floor.
She saved an hour.

“…”

… But after luckily resolving the situation.

Curiosity crossed her mind as to why Seol Dabin had come here.

Of course, since this area is a busy area, it is not unusual for her to run into someone she knows while walking around.

About 30 minutes ago, an academy student recognized Baek Seo-yeon and my face on the street and even pretended to recognize her.

But something…

I must say that Seol Da-bin, who I just saw, had a strange feeling about her.
It was just a hunch, but it was somehow different from usual.

It could even be that you can’t see other friends or Baek Ji-ho around.

It’s possible that she came first and was waiting, or that she just came out for a walk by herself.

However, it didn’t seem like she was sick, but the fact that she was wearing a mask was what bothered me.
Doesn’t she know there’s an epidemic going on, she goes out for a walk and who’s wearing a mask?
Besides, she has no reason to wear a mask when she goes to see her friend.
If I had to choose one more thing, I was also secretly concerned about the black hooded zip-up I was wearing earlier.

Dull, ordinary, inconspicuous clothes.

The Seoldabin I know does not prefer clothes like that.

It was like that when she called me aside for her friend Lee Ha-yoon.
It was like that when Baek Ji-ho and I ran into each other while we were on a date.

It was like that when he went on a preliminary field trip with me before going on a double date.

It was like that even on a trip just a few days ago.

Seol Da-bin has never been out without dressing up like that.

Not once.

“Hmm…”

Wearing a mask on purpose.

The reason why I try not to stand out by wearing loose-fitting clothes.

To put it simply:

To avoid being noticed by others.

And if Seol Da-bin is the reason for that…

“… I don’t know.”

Well.

I don’t know why he does that.

Fortunately, I knew one way to solve my curiosity.

To follow directly.

When investigating a suspicious person, there is no surer method than this.

409

It’s really fun content to follow people you know, but even so, if there are four people hanging out together, I really want to stand out.

If you go with Han Su-ah, who doesn’t even know what she’s trying to do, she’ll be caught by Seol Da-bin in less than 5 minutes.

Therefore, I gave Yozora a message and left the café using Lee Ha-yoon as an excuse.

Baek Seo-yeon seemed somewhat dissatisfied because she didn’t know anything, but she believed that Yozora would explain it well later.

Anyway.

I assumed that Dabin Seol was doing something to her secretly, and based on that, I came up with a few hypotheses.

1. Seol Dabin actually has a hobby that she is embarrassed to reveal to her friends.

For example, something like subculture.

Or, something that doesn’t really match my usual image.

However, she never showed any sign of it, so she just kept it in mind.

2. She just came out undressed because it was in front of the house.

The direction we took when we rode the subway together before. Considering that she got off the train later than Lee Ha-yoon and I, I don’t think she lives around here.

3. She actually told me that she was cheating on me and all, but secretly she was straddling someone.

If that were the case, I would have avoided places like downtown altogether, which makes no sense, but it does get the dopamine rush.

After threatening her with the price of keeping her secret, it was also an opportunity to have her do whatever I wanted.

However, as she said earlier, Dabin Seol is unlikely to be deviating from someone else.
If that had been the case, there would have been rumors about whom the opponent was before the Internet was flooded with polarizing fans.

In the end, the most plausible one is number 1.

Seol Da-bin actually has a shameful hobby – just one.

Still, I appreciate that kind of information.

Later on, she might develop a hobby similar to Seol Dabin’s and increase her stories, right?
Just like Yozora approached Han Su-ah by memorizing romance comics, it would be good if I did the same.

She was drinking cold ade while gathering her thoughts.

“… Came out.”

Dabin Seol left her café, holding an iced Americano in his hand.
I, who was waiting for her in the shade near her building, followed Dabin and blended into her crowd.

*****

The stinging sunlight stung the back of my neck, but the number of people in the downtown area was still enormous.

At first, we kept a distance of more than 10 m, but we thought we might miss it, so we narrowed the distance a little.

If you go straight this way, you will come to the comic book store where Yozora and I first had sex.

Seol Da-bin passed by as if she had no interest and continued walking.

If you go straight this way, you will come to a movie theater where Baek Seo-yeon and Yozora watched a movie together.

Seol Da-bin only gave her a quick glance, and she continued walking.

A store with a variety of musical instruments was also not a destination.

I also passed by the store where delicate plastic models were on display.

Still, in front of an arcade, I was almost certain that he was secretly practicing to avenge his previous defeat.

It wasn’t even that.

Because we walked so far, only melted ice water remained in the takeout container.

As we move away from the downtown area, the crowds around have decreased significantly.

Was it really just a mindless walk?

After this, I guess I’ll just say, “Oh, I’m tired” And go home,

It was around that time that even that thought crossed my mind.

“… I guess I should hide well.”

I don’t know about anything else, but it looks like I was able to go out with a destination.

If you see Seol Da-bin looking around from time to time, it’s clear.

If you get caught here, all your efforts so far will have been in vain.

Deciding to be a little more cautious, I followed her through the shadow of the building.

Perhaps because I was nervous, my throat was already starting to burn.

“…?”

However, Seol Da-bin’s footsteps stopped at an earlier time than expected.

Right in front. After seeing the back of Seol Da-bin sneaking into a building, I walked up to the building where Seol Da-bin sneaked in and checked what on earth he was doing.

“…”

What is written on the sign is in miscellaneous English that does not indicate the industry.

However, it doesn’t matter what the name of this place is.

“… Ha.”

Right below.

From the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. A show window that allows a clear view of the interior up to the third floor.

It says, ‘I am an adult goods store.’

From lingerie to condoms,

And even Onahole.

Because quite blatant things were being revealed here and there.

*****

… People are less interested in others than we think.

I walked around repeating this over and over again,

Why did it feel like everyone in the world was looking at me the whole time I was walking here?

I even briefly fiddled with the mask I was wearing to avoid being noticed by my friends.

I visited an adult goods store for the first time in my life, and walked around the store, which had a brighter atmosphere than I expected.

Please treat me as invisible.

I turned to a place that didn’t seem to have many employees.

“Welcome. Could you please show me your ID?”

“… Ah, yes.”

But my dream was shattered from the beginning.

Still, it’s a place that sells adult products.

It’s natural to ask customers for ID, but…

I could feel my face getting hot, but fortunately the clerk didn’t say anything.

I think I’m probably used to it because there are a lot of customers who have the same reaction as me.

“Are you looking for something?”

“Yes, yes?”

“Because the store is large, some people will wander around for a long time trying to find what they want if we don’t provide guidance.”

“… Aha.”

Well, if it’s this big, it seems like it would take a long time to look through each and every item displayed on the wall.

However, I think it would be better to waste a lot of time alone…

… No.

The clerk happened to be a woman.

We’ve already started talking.

Ultimately, I thought it would be better than talking to a male employee other than this person, so I continued talking.

“… D-I’m looking for a dildo…”

“Oh, would you like to come this way?”

“… Yes.”

… I never thought I would say these words in front of other people.

Is it because I haven’t had any experience with a boyfriend yet? I was feeling embarrassed for nothing, but the clerk didn’t seem to care and walked away with great strides, so I quickly followed behind.

The place we arrived at was a space filled with women’s equipment, as instructed by the clerk.

Maybe it’s because it’s an adult product, but there were some people who didn’t know how to use it just by looking at what it looked like…

As for the very blatant-looking dildo, I knew it as soon as I saw it.

“…”

But, what I’m looking for is.

It’s not this size.

“Uh, over there, clerk…”

“Yes?”

“Is there anything a little bigger than this…”

“Oh, we don’t have it on display, but we do have it in stock. Are you looking for what size?”

20 cm. I think it could be a little bigger than that.

That being said, even if it’s the same sex, it really doesn’t seem right.

I was scared of what the staff would think of me when they heard my request.

But I can’t keep talking back and forth.

In the end, I ended up having to adjust the mask that was already up to the bridge of my nose.

With my head down.

“This… This size…”

Like Hayun, she described the length with her hands.

“Aha. Just a moment.”

“… Yes.”

It’s embarrassing.

I want to go home.

Many thoughts ran through my head, but fortunately there were not many guests, so I was able to spend an hour relaxing.

Of course, since it is an adult goods store, there are a lot of couples coming here, but you can also see a few people like me who come alone.

Same goes for that woman over there.

The man who just came into the store…

“…?”

“Uh, what is it? I see you all here.”

… Wait a minute.

That person…

“Seoul is smaller than I thought… Anyway, did you come with your boyfriend?”

“… Uh, uh, over there, uh…?”

Seo Woojin.

Why you.

Why are you here?

“Well, what about that one? … Did you come with Hayun…?”

“No. This time it’s just me. There’s something I want to do with my sister later.”

“… Aha. I see. Hmm.”

“I heard men’s products are upstairs. Is your boyfriend there…?”

“…”

“Sir. I brought something similar to what you were looking for earlier…”

“…”

“…”

No, I mean. That.

Don’t look.

Wait a minute.

Why is the box packaging so explicit? .

“…9 inches. 23 cm… Memory silicon… Eco-friendly material…”

“Don’t read that…! Why read that…! … Eup,”

Ah, sir…

… Hiccup.

Just wait…

How and in what way should I explain this…

“Does it feel like a substitute? To be used when your boyfriend is tired?”

“… Ma, Ma, that’s right. Just because I want to do it, I can do it every day…, I can’t do that. I’m just going to use it whenever I have no choice…”

“Really?”

“…”

“I want to use it when I’m tired… Um…”

“…”

After concocting an excuse in my head, I looked into Seo Woo Jin’s eyes as confidently as possible.

… Of course, it only looked like that on the outside, but I was shaking on the inside.

It would be better if the clerk stayed next to me.

Did she think that her presence would be a hindrance?
Or did he leave because something came up?

Could it be that I misunderstood you as my boyfriend?

I feel like I’m suffocating in this situation where I’m alone with Seo Woo Jin.

… It can’t be helped.

It was just bad luck that I got caught.

Please. Please don’t fool me by saying I’m a substitute for your boyfriend.

Seo Woo-jin turned over the dildo box brought by the employee and obediently handed it to me.

As I carefully accepted the box, still unable to hide my nervous expression, he smiled brightly and added quietly.

“I have a question.”

“… What is it?”

“Do you know my boyfriend?”

“…”

I have no idea.

I’ll probably never know.

“You probably don’t know. You came here alone, keeping it a secret from your boyfriend.”

“… Uh, how…?”

“Well, there’s no reason to go to an adult store separately, right? We’re not just men and women, we’re a couple.”

“…”

“Well, I just took a look, but… Judging by your reaction, it looks like you really came alone. And that was a secret.”

The reason I came here, to the adult toy store, alone.

Buying a dildo that resembles another man’s genitals, not yours.

“But is that why you came and lived alone?”

“… What, what is it…”

“You know what I’m talking about. You also know why I suddenly started talking like this.”

“… If you’re talking about size, of course I thought it was my boyfriend’s…”

“Don’t tell stupid lies that would only work on imbeciles.”

“…”

“… Why did you buy it? That.”

“…”

First, he said he wanted to talk outside, so he grabbed Seo Woo Jin’s wrist and went outside.

… In the meantime, I did some calculations.

Everyone.

Lifelong.
