Chapter 13 – Episode 13
“How about this time, brother?”
Is this the 5th time?
Gahye showed off her changed clothes again and said,
“Oh, that’s pretty too.”
“Hey, what is that~ Look carefully~”
Ga-hye complains.
But to be honest.
“No matter what you wear, you’re pretty.”
“Are you saying that because it’s annoying?”
“No, I’m serious.”
Ga-hye starts laughing at those words.
“Really?”
He suddenly came to me and hugged me as if he was happy.
Well, the feel of her breasts feels perfect, but just wait a moment.
For some reason, Nayu’s expression looks bad.
No, she seems to be sitting expressionless as usual.
I pushed Gahye away slightly while watching Nayu looking at her cell phone.
Gahye looked up at me and smiled.
“Then I guess I should wear this today.”
As I watched Gahye say that and close the curtain again and go back, I could only sigh.
Why am I so worried about both of them at the same time?
Only an unpleasant feeling for which I don’t even know the reason shines on me with the morning sunlight.
***
‘No, let’s think about Nayu and Gahye later.’
I came to my senses by taking another sip from the coffee cup in front of me.
This is a café on a Sunday afternoon.
And I’m with the CEO of the company I just got fired from.
The boss called me and was talking about something important.
Let’s focus on the other person, let’s focus on the other person.
Fortunately, the boss, or rather the former boss, didn’t notice that I was lost in other thoughts for a moment.
“Yes, I know, I know.”
Mr. Jeon, who was already absorbed in his own story, continued talking, even making gestures with his hands.
“I know you worked really hard, but I also know that Chief Kim, that bastard is a bit of an idiot.”
The manager isn’t stupid, he’s just not a good person.
“No, it’s my fault.”
“Then I’ll be in disgrace.”
A moment of silence.
“It’s not your fault, honestly.”
“Thank you.”
“That’s true, but… I don’t know if looking elsewhere would work well.”
“Yes.”
Does that happen as expected?
“But since this is a family I worked with, I have to try my best. I’ll take care of it, so just wait a little longer.”
At the same time, the boss taps my shoulder with his hand.
It’s the boss’s habit.
When you have nothing to say or when things are not going well, you pat someone on the shoulder as a comforting gesture.
I thought while receiving that comfort.
I don’t think this person has any intention of finding me properly.
“Ah, thank you.”
The president sighed for a moment.
“Wait a minute, I’m coming to smoke a cigarette.”
Saying that, the former president went out.
Left alone, I sipped my coffee.
Then, I briefly looked at the table over there.
I made eye contact with Nayu who was across the table.
Nayu puts on the hat she was wearing.
I don’t know what I was sorry about, but when I told her I was going to meet her boss, Nayu followed me.
Even though she said it was okay, she was stubborn, so she asked me to pretend to be a stranger when meeting the boss.
This was the opportunity for her to fight with the manager because she thought it would not be good for the boss to see it.
‘There’s no need to follow me…’
At that time, the president returned to his seat, and I took my eyes off Nayu and started talking to the president again.
***
When I turned around after seeing my boss off on the street, Nayu was already standing right behind me.
“Wow, what a surprise.”
“What happened?”
“Uh, well…”
“Did it go well?”
“Oh, you recognize me well.”
“You didn’t find out anything just now?”
“Yeah, well, it won’t happen that soon.”
“…”
Seeing Nayu become speechless, I feel like I should comfort her.
“It will work out somehow, so don’t worry too much.”
“It’s like they got fired from the company because of me.”
“No, I’ll say it again, that bastard wanted to hit me too.”
“…”
Nayu closed her mouth again.
In the first place, when you heard that I was coming out to meet the boss, you felt sorry and followed me here, so you already know how I feel.
She doesn’t say anything and waits for Nayu to open her mouth again.
Ignoring the gazes of people passing by, and ignoring the cold wind for no reason.
After waiting for a while, I finally opened my mouth.
“Okay…”
It looks like they’ve decided not to apologize anymore.
That’s good.
“Let’s go back home.”
“Wait a minute.”
Huh?
“Actually… I have a favor to ask you…”
***
Late in the evening, Nayu and I continued to walk around the neighborhood.
The reason for going around was to find out about Nayu’s part-time job.
We were repeatedly looking for part-time positions, looking for part-time jobs, and inquiring about them right away, using our cell phones and our feet.
I wandered around until quite late in the day, but I was still in vain.
We sighed as we left the 7th store.
“Are there still any left?”
“Wait a minute.”
Saying that, Nayu started fiddling with her cell phone again.
It is quite tiring to be rejected so much when applying for a part-time job.
That’s all I had in mind.
“But it’s Nayu.”
“Huh?”
“Does it really have to be a part-time job that you can start right away?”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
“Still…”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t do anything for a while. “I told you not to worry too much.”
“Just go there this time.”
With those words, we started moving again.
The reason Nayu asked me to come visit her with her was because she was subject to protective supervision.
Since he was subject to protective supervision, it seemed like he needed my guarantee or something like that.
However, I spent the whole day wandering around with Nayu looking for something I could start doing today among the nearby stores, but the result was total destruction.
All the stores rejected Nayu after seeing her current condition.
They are such narrow-minded people.
I could barely resist complaining like that.
Nayu, her partner, didn’t say anything and was just quietly looking for a store where she could work.
“I’ll just watch it this time.”
“Yes, then.”
We decided as we headed to the last store.
It was already late, so the moon was bright.
There would be no point in wandering around any further.
She asked Nayu as she entered the entertainment district.
“Gahye, when are you coming back today?”
“I don’t know.”
That’s an immediate answer.
“I hope it’s not too late…”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t it a bit strange to have an opening party the day before the start of the semester?”
“I don’t know much about universities.”
Nayu seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic of Gahye.
As expected, I don’t know exactly why, but I’m upset.
I’m upset with Gahye.
The two women began to diverge.
I don’t know why.
I’m not even sure if that’s really the case.
But it seems like that.
Why?
I guess it’s too much to say it’s my fault…
I need to talk to Nayu before Gahye comes back tonight.
I need to find out what the cause is.
I need to make sure it’s really me.
We live together, but our relationship is not good, so it’s not good…
“Then wait a moment.”
While I was lost in thought, it seemed like I had already arrived at my destination.
“Uh, yes.”
Nayu left me and went into her bar.
Anyone could tell that the small door in the back was a door for employees.
It looks like there has already been a call to come in there.
Thinking like that, I remained alone and looked around.
A place filled with bars.
Young laughter can be heard everywhere.
Ah, yes, this is the entertainment area in front of the university.
I looked around, remembering my old days.
Since I hated alcohol in the first place, I hated bars too.
I remember a senior who insisted and bothered me until I graduated.
A youth who had no ties to women.
It was like that.
It wasn’t a particularly good time, my college days.
I slowly looked around the inside of the store.
The store was full of college students chatting happily.
I also wanted to have fun like that.
Yeah, yeah, drinking with a pretty girl like that and stuff like that.
At that time, a man and a woman came out of the store.
Yeah, like appearing with a woman like that.
At the same time, I wanted to live a life like having a romance or something like that.
Wait a minute, but that.
It’s a somewhat familiar visual.
It looked like a man chasing a woman.
The man said something, but the woman responded appropriately and continued moving forward, and the man continued to chase after the woman.
The woman was a beauty.
Short hair and big breasts that stand out even when viewed from a distance.
‘It’s mercy.’
I don’t know who the man following him was, but he looked like a proper college student.
He’s a good size and seems to be dressed appropriately…
Feeling anxious, I hurried after them.
“Senior, why are you following me like that?”
When Gahye said that to the man, the man answered with a grin.
“I just want to talk to Gahye alone, is that okay?”
It was a similar answer returned again and again.
“I don’t really have any thoughts?”
Gahye also gave similar answers to those words several times.
“No, really.”
The man scratched his head a little.
“You had a really fun time talking too, right?”
“I guess I was excited because it was my first time drinking.”
“You talked about this and that with me.”
“Because you kept talking to me.”
“Aren’t you suddenly acting rude?”
“Why do I have to take care of my senior?”
Love easily turns into hate.
As such, interest can easily turn into a threat.
“Hey, you…”
While saying that, the man approaching Ga-hye began to look like he was about to do something at any moment.
Ga-hye was not intimidated by such a man, and she just accepted his gaze and glared at him.
***
A dark alley where not a single person passes by.
No, I talk to this girl a lot, play with her, give her attention, but isn’t it a bit too much for her to show off like this?
Why did you embarrass me in front of the kids and then just leave because I was so good in the first place?
It’s funny to do this to a senior when you’re a junior, right?
The man who was repeating stupid thoughts in his head was getting closer and closer to Ga-hye, as if threatening her.
Tak.
A man grabbed Gahye’s wrist.
The size is also good.
Anyone could see that it was a dangerous moment for Gahye.
“Hey.”
At that moment, someone intervened.
***
I hurriedly called the man and approached him.
At every word I say, the man looks this way.
Looking at the expression on his face, I could tell that it was a truly dangerous moment.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh fuck me.”
The man who immediately cursed scratched his head.
Then he frowned and said one word.
“Mister, don’t worry about it, just go on your way.”
“Damn.”
I don’t particularly respect people who swear.
As soon as he returned the curse, the man’s impression changed completely.
“Oh, today really sucks…”
Saying that, the man started walking slowly towards me.
“Oppa?”
At those words, the man’s eyes and mine turned to Gahye at the same time.
Have you finally recognized me?
Gahye is looking at me in surprise with round eyes.
Her face is slightly red, probably because she’s already drunk.
The man who saw Gahye and I are exchanging glances snorted and then made an expression as if he knew something.
“Hey, just go away.”
Now you understand the situation, right?
But I felt like the one word I said was the trigger.
The man mumbled another curse and started coming towards me.
The man’s face is already red, so it looks like he’s drunk.
As I saw the man approaching, a thought crossed my mind.
But this guy seems to be bigger and younger than me…
‘Can I win?’
Before I started to pump myself up with adrenaline, I started to worry.
