Chapter 15 – I’ll Be Late for My Appointment ③
^-^
Lee Hyun-seung, who heard the two people’s groans, said that it was nonsense and hurriedly pressed the end button to end the phone call.
Hyunseung Lee raised his hands to his face, thinking for a moment about what he had just heard.
After thinking about how much time had passed, Lee Hyun-seung’s cell phone notification sound rang briefly a couple of times.
Lee Hyun-seung looked at his cell phone like that.
“KakaoTalk… That’s right.”
The reason why the notification sounded was none other than KakaoTalk.
When Lee Hyun-seung pressed KakaoTalk, the KakaoTalk message that had just arrived appeared on the screen of his cell phone, and the identity of the sender of the KakaoTalk was…
[ Seolah Han ]
-〉 Sorry. (7:40pm)
-〉 I think I’m a little late. (7:40pm)
It wasn’t anyone else, it was Seol-ah who had made a strange moan over the phone earlier.
“It’s only natural that I’m late…”
I seemed to know now.
Why was Seol-ah not showing up even though it was time for the appointment?
Just a moment ago, coveting each other’s bodies… We were doing such an act…
Rather, it was strange that it was not late.
* * *
I checked the time and it was already 7:38 PM.
As we shared passionate love, the appointment time went way past.
She hurriedly gave her clothes and prepared to leave in a hurry.
“I’ll send KakaoTalk for now.”
“Yea, I got it.”
Seol-ah lifted up her cell phone and said that she was sending a KakaoTalk message to Lee Hyun-seung.
“I’m sorry… I think I’m a little late…”
“Aren’t you making me wait too long?”
“It’ll be fine. If that brother asks to see you once, he’ll empty his time.”
“Um… Then it’ll be fine.”
I felt a little sorry for making her wait so long, but at least if Seol-ah went this far, there would be no problem.
But she suddenly became curious about the previous phone call.
“Ah, but how did you get the call earlier…?”
“That’s right, I pressed the reject call button.”
“Yeah, I’m glad.”
I was the one who thought that it was fortunate to see Seol-ah talking as if it were natural.
Because it’s never as good as letting other people know we do such and such things through a phone call.
She came out of the house, and Seol-ah was fiddling with her phone like last time, and soon a black car arrived and picked us up and took us to the meeting place.
I wondered what the hell this black car was. Seeing that she answered no when I asked her the other day if she was the daughter of a conglomerate family, I wondered if the identity of this black car was a taxi.
Kiik-
The moving vehicle came to a smooth stop.
Perhaps it has arrived at the appointed place.
I got out of the car and followed where Seol-ah led.
I didn’t know where the meeting place was, but when I went inside, I was in awe.
It was such a restaurant with a luxurious interior even at first glance.
And inside it, Lee Hyun-seung, whose expression seemed to be dark somewhere, was lowering his head.
Although Seol-ah approached him and talked to her.
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
“······”
As if lost in thought, Lee Hyeon-seung was speechless.
Eventually, Seol-ah called him again.
“Brother?”
“… Huh? Ah, you’re here.”
Lee Hyeon-seung, who finally came to his senses, greeted us with a smile.
His face was smiling, but he had an awkward expression on his face.
“Seohyun is here too.”
“Ah. Yes, hello.”
He turned his head and looked at me, and he greeted me, and I greeted him as well.
So Seol-ah and I were seated across from Lee Hyun-seung.
“I’m sorry I’m late, there was a situation.”
“Ah…, Yes. It’s okay.”
I apologized for being late, but Lee Hyun-seung said it was okay and moved on.
However, he still had a dark expression on his face, and even I recognized him, so Seol-ah couldn’t help but recognize him.
And Seol-ah, who recognized that expression, spoke in a worried tone.
“Are you okay? Did you force yourself to come out because you were sick?”
“Huh? No, it’s really fine.”
After that, I asked him several times if he was really okay, but Seol-ah didn’t ask anymore because Lee Hyun-seung kept repeating that he was okay.
After an awkward silence, the prepared food began to come out one by one, and the meal began with an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Looking at Seol-ah, Lee Hyun-seung opened his mouth.
“This is a place that I also acknowledged, so I eat a lot.”
“Huh.”
Soon after, he turned his head and spoke to me.
“Seohyun-ssi, eat a lot. It’s really delicious here.”
“Thank you···.”
It was such a formal conversation, but the food here was really delicious.
The meat that melts as soon as you put it in your mouth is like Seol-ah’s lips… No, it’s not this, it’s really delicious anyway.
I didn’t know because I was eating for a while, but I suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet.
So I put down what I was eating and raised my head…
“…?”
There were two people staring at me blankly.
Feeling puzzled, I asked why.
“Why, what the hell…?”
Even in the middle of it, I had a lot of meat in my mouth because I was eating meat, so my pronunciation was all muffled.
“Poohyong.”
“Puha!”
The two people who were looking at me like that burst into laughter at the same time, and I just wondered why those two people were doing that.
“Why are you doing this?”
Before I knew it, I chewed up the meat and asked Seol-ah why she was doing that.
“No, it’s just because it’s cute.”
It was Seol-ah who just smiled and said it was nothing.
“Seohyun is very cute.”
There was Lee Hyun-seung who nodded in agreement.
No, but it’s a bit like hearing things like that from a man…
Well, it’s a compliment anyway, right?
“Uuuuu, eat something!”
“Okay okay.”
“Yes, let’s eat.”
It was still like he was making fun of me, but I could feel that the atmosphere had calmed down more than before.
It was much better than eating in an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Of course, the rice went well even before.
In such a relaxed atmosphere, we began to eat together in harmony.
* * *
The meal is over and dessert is coming out.
“Wow, delicious.”
Maybe it’s because it’s a high-class restaurant, and the food that comes out is also food, but the dessert that comes out at the end is also delicious.
It was a dessert with fruit as a base and ice cream on top.
The taste of fresh fruit was felt and cold vanilla ice cream was added, so it was a fantastic taste.
“Oh, it was delicious.”
It was so delicious that the dessert in front of me had already disappeared into my stomach.
I wondered if I was the only one who ate too quickly, so I inadvertently looked in front of the two of them to see when their dessert plates were all empty.
“Will it wake up soon?”
“Yes, then.”
“Great.”
After finishing dessert, we didn’t have to sit down to do anything anymore, so we got up and went out.
Seol-ah came out and asked Hyun-seung Lee.
“Brother, did you run out of time this time too?”
“Right, but I think I’ll have to go soon.”
Lee Hyeon-seung answered, saying, “I think I will have to go soon.”
There must be a lot of time for Seol-ah, but I wondered why.
“Huh? They said it was empty.”
“Hmm. Well, after thinking about it earlier, I remembered something to do.”
Lee Hyeon-seung said he had to go because he had something urgent to do.
Then Seol-ah nodded her head as if she understood.
“Ah, so that’s why your expression was dark?”
“Is that so…?”
Lee Hyeon-seung averted his eyes and blurted out his words stupidly.
It seems that the reason Lee Hyun-seung’s expression continued to be dark was because he remembered what he had to do after he went back.
Well, I think my expression would darken if I went out to play comfortably and suddenly remembered something I had to do and had to go back.
“Then, I’ll be on my way.”
“Yeah, goodbye.”
“It was nice to meet you too, Seohyun.”
“Yes. Please enter carefully.”
After greeting each other, Hyunseung Lee turned around and moved on.
However.
Hyunseung Lee suddenly stopped walking and he turned around and looked at me.
Then he opened his mouth and he spoke to me.
“Today was fun. I’ll make a seat next time, see you then.”
“Yes?”
After saying see you next time, I turned around and started walking back to where I was originally going.
Hearing the sudden invitation to meet again, I looked at Seol-ah in bewilderment.
Then, Seol-ah put on a worried expression for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“I think you mean to eat again next time?”
“Oh, the one who buys you food is always welcome.”
As soon as I heard that, my embarrassed expression quickly brightened as if wondering where it had gone.
Koreans are rice sims, and the person who buys rice always has the thought of serving them as older brothers and sisters.
In that sense, Lee Hyun-seung is an older brother who buys me food well from now on.
I was nodding my head and excited at the thought of serving him as my older brother, when suddenly my cell phone started ringing.
This time, it wasn’t Seol-ah’s phone, it was mine, and I picked up the ringing phone and checked who it was…
[ Mom ]
The caller was none other than her mother.
