Chapter 2 – 1.I See Strange Numbers.(2)
2.
“Keep…”
Waking up, I grabbed my head and looked around.
There are no clothes scattered here and there, and you can see the scenery of a clean room.
I glanced down and saw that the clothes I was wearing yesterday had gone and I was wearing pajamas.
‘I’ve been drinking and slept so quietly…?’
-Less. Less so
I drank so much that I couldn’t remember the night before, so I was sitting on the bed with a blank face when I heard something from the living room.
“Hmmm~. Uh? Ha Jun-ah, are you awake?”
“Uh… Uh uh.”
Seoyeon is seen making something in the kitchen wearing an apron.
It seems that Seoyeon changed her clothes when she returned home.
“You couldn’t go home yesterday and waited for me?”
“Huh.”
“What did you do? Knowing that I would be late.”
“Just······.”
I thought it was because of her evasive look while avoiding my eyes.
Seoyeon, who only had me as her friend, must have been bored.
“Don’t do that, wash up quickly. The rice is ready!”
“Ugh.”
I was dragged away by the force of Seo-yeon, who suddenly came to me and shoved me on the back and pushed me into the bathroom.
-Bang!
I hear Seoyeon’s footsteps going back to the kitchen as she closes the door.
The moment I looked in the mirror to wash like that.
“·········.”
I can still see the number ‘1’ floating above my head.
I had been so distracted a while ago that I had forgotten about it.
Meaning of this number.
‘So why am I a ‘1’?’
I swear to heaven, I’ve never even kissed a woman, let alone had sex.
Looking at the letters ‘Sympathy’ from Dong-Jun, the name of Kyung-Ho’s girlfriend, and the words ‘Number of experiences’ from Kyung-Ho, the meaning of these numbers is clear.
But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand the number ‘1’.
‘I don’t know.’
The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, so I turned on the water and started washing, ignoring the numbers in the mirror.
*
– Knocked up.
After washing, I left the bathroom and returned to the kitchen.
“Sit down now! It’s done.”
“Oh, thank you… Ah.”
I was about to sit down in her seat while answering Seoyeon, but I hesitated and froze in place.
‘Wait a minute ······ Seoyeon is also on top of her head ······ Isn’t that a ‘1’ ······?’
Why did I forget
When this strange phenomenon occurred, Seoyeon was the first to see the number floating above her head.
She had the same number ‘1’ in her mind as I did.
I didn’t think carefully because I was distracted earlier.
The number above Seoyeon’s head overlapped with the numbers she saw from Dongjun and Kyungho yesterday, and something made her feel uncomfortable.
‘Seoyeon… With another guy…?’
“Huh? Why? Why are you staring at me like this since yesterday?”
“·········.”
When I stood there blankly and stared at myself, Seoyeon asked me with a bashful smile, so I came to my senses and sat down.
After that, my head was so confused that I had no idea whether I was eating through my nose or through my mouth.
In the meantime, Seo-yeon said that Seo-yeon was just a childhood friend and that it was not a romantic relationship, but when she thought that there was another man next to her, something made her feel dirty.
She thought it was her family, but when she thinks that Seo-yeon has another man standing next to her, she gets angry and uncomfortable.
‘No···. I’m also ‘1’, didn’t I? There’s something different I didn’t say ‘1’ unconditionally. Never······.’
“What’s going on? Why?”
“·········Ah!”
She forcibly stuffs the rice that didn’t fit in and finishes her meal, and I see Seoyeon’s face staring at me.
Remembered
“Seo Yeon-ah! Hand! Give me your hand!”
“Uh, huh? Why, why! Now, calm down for a second…!”
When I asked for her hand, I ignored the restless Seoyeon who blushed and pulled her hand towards me.
And the moment she looked above her head, her head went blank as if she had been hit by something.
Her numbers blur and someone’s name appears next to her.
My name is ‘Lee Ha-jun’.
“·········What?”
Is it someone with the same name as me? But around Seoyeon, I am the only one with the name Lee Hajun.
She can be sure I have been with her since she was a kid.
Then, who does the name ‘Lee Ha-jun’ floating above her head mean?
However, more startling facts began to emerge one after another beneath it.
‘1 (Lee Ha-jun)’
‘Virgin’
‘Number of experiences 63 times’
“············.”
“Ha, Ha Jun-ah… That, I really like Joe… You, it’s too early…”
Seoyeon held her hand and twisted her body, but I didn’t see that kind of figure in my eyes.
I just lost my mentality in the current situation that doesn’t even sound like these words.
“········· What kind of bullshit is this.”
*
– Bang bang!
“Ha, Ha Jun-ah! What’s the matter! Uh? Come out! I don’t know what’s going on! I’m sorry! It’s my fault!”
“············.”
With my mentality gone, I let go of Seoyeon’s hand that I was still holding on to and went into the bathroom and locked the door.
She sat down on the toilet seat, lowered her head, and recalled the things she had just seen.
‘What? Me? When? How? What is episode 63? But what about a virgin?’
– Bang bang!
“Ha, Ha Jun-ah! Open it at once! Huh? I was all wrong! Uh?”
While my head is dizzy, Seo-yeon knocking on the door and shouting makes me go crazy.
“······I’m fine. I’m not feeling well for a second. No big deal I must have had too much to drink yesterday.”
“······Okay. Then come out soon?”
“Uh…”
It feels like Seoyeon’s voice has become cold, but now is not the time to worry about that.
‘Why the fuck can’t I look closely at mine!’
I wasn’t sure yet, so I looked in the mirror, held my hands together, and made a fuss, but the letters that came to me didn’t change.
Other people can see it just by holding hands, so why can’t I?
“Ha······.”
My head was spinning and dizzy for a moment, perhaps because too many things rushed at once.
I reached out to the mirror and supported myself.
That moment.
“·········Uh?”
The letters gradually blur over my head and new letters come to mind.
‘1 (Yoo Seo-yeon)’
‘Sympathy’
‘Number of experiences 63 times’
“············.”
To take a closer look at the letters that came to my mind, like the characters in ninja comics, I clenched both hands and did all kinds of shit, and even touched my feet, wondering if it was my feet, not my hands, and I became pathetic.
‘Did you just see it when you put your hand on the mirror…?’
For a moment, I felt dejected.
‘But… Fuck…’
I sighed as I looked at the letters floating in the mirror.
I don’t know what it means to have 63 experiences while being a virgin, but it seems that something happened with Seo-yeon before I knew it.
– Knocked up.
“Ha Jun-ah! Fine······!”
“Seo Yeon-ah. I’ll go out and come back.”
“Uh? Uh?”
“Because I will be late. You should go home first.”
Seo-yeon, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly came running when I came out of the bathroom, but I tried to ignore Seo-yeon and hurriedly went into her room and changed her clothes without even looking at her.
“Ha, Hajun…!”
-Bang!
Ignoring Seoyeon who urgently called me, I hurriedly left the house.
I don’t know how to look at her face.
-Tiririling.
-Uh. Why.
“Hey. Come out in front of your house.”
-What. Hey, I’m awake now…
“If you want to come out, come out. Because I am in a hurry.”
– Knock.
After telling Dong-jun about my business and hanging up the phone, I moved quickly in case Seo-yeon would come after me.
*
“Ah, from broad daylight. Yumma! Because of you bitch! Mom says who was beaten by you!”
“·········.”
Dong-jun, who has become a night-timer, walks to the bench where I am sitting with a wobbly gait.
“But… Why are you like this? What’s going on? Why did the child suddenly become so serious overnight?”
“Hey. Tell all of you the truth.”
“What, what is it, dude! Oh shit! Yes, I’m so stupid, you bastard! Are you okay!”
“That’s not it… Haa…”
Dong-jun, who was getting angry, sat down next to me as he looked at me with a serious expression.
“Why?”
“Hey. Tell me more about those rumors, Seoyeon.”
“Suddenly? Are you saying it’s all nonsense?”
“Oh fuck! If you have something to say, say it!”
“…What happened to you?”
Seeing me shaking my head and shouting, Dong-jun also abandoned his mischievous appearance and started talking for a long time about the rumors he thought were nonsense when he was in school.
“······Therefore. Was it all real?”
“Yeah dude. Seoyeon is a scary kid. But I was nice to you, so I left it because I wondered if anything special would happen.”
“············.”
“Why what? What is it?”
“Haa… No. Done.”
After hearing what happened so far from Dongjun, I sighed deeply and got up from my seat.
“Hey, don’t just do that and do well with Seoyeon. It’s not that crazy bitch to other people… It’s a little strange, but I can’t move with you.”
“… Crazy guy.”
I raised my finger to Dongjun and walked towards the house.
To be honest, I still can’t believe what I heard from Dongjun.
I stepped on a girl who was talking to me in the bathroom.
I shoved the head of the senior who talked to me with a hair clipper.
She took off her junior’s clothes and threatened to take a picture of her who talked to me.
I stuck a knee in the crotch of a boy who was talking badly about me.
To me·········.
Memories of the past come to mind
The other girls who thought they were just friends and avoided them in surprise when approached.
Maybe it smells like me do I look so scary am I that bad
All the worries I had were all futile.
Everything happened because of Seoyeon.
I heard that Seoyeon’s parents also came to school while doing such a thing.
Is that why Seoyeon’s mother looked at me and did that?
– Ha Jun-ah… I’m sorry. Because of our Seoyeon…
Whenever Seo-yeon’s mother says that, I ask what she is saying, saying that she is Seo-yeon’s best friend, and even if others spread strange rumors, I believe in Seo-yeon…
Every time that happened, Seoyeon’s mother looked at me with a sad expression and smiled.
‘Haa… What should I do…’
Unbelievable, but sure.
In the meantime, Seo-yeon, who had been living like her family, was eating me without me knowing.
