Chapter 16 – Episode 16
‘Did my uncle say something to my father?’
After sending Gahye away by saying that I have class coming up, so I should go quickly, I started to think.
After what happened yesterday, my uncle probably told my father about it.
‘That’s what happened to Jun-seok and Ga-hye.’
‘It was handled well, but shouldn’t you be aware of it?’
While we were talking, my father probably got worried about a moment after hearing what my uncle said.
But… Is it still safe?
Uh, so, those acts… We haven’t actually had sex yet…
‘Even when I look at it, it seems like a really sick idea.’
Ha, really.
I don’t know what to think.
I sat down and thought about it, but the conclusion was simple.
‘I don’t know. Let’s do it ‘well’. Anyway, you’ll do well!’
After thinking about it, I started to move towards the familiar and familiar building.
The reason I came to school with Gahye was because I had something to see.
What I saw in school was the professor.
“Yes, come in.”
I hear a voice coming from beyond the door and quietly open the door.
The professor was sitting in front of his desk, looking unchanged.
It seems that the professor’s lifestyle pattern, which was always reviewing class content in his room during this time, has not changed.
“Uh, Junseok, it’s been a while?”
“It’s been a while, teacher.”
I close the door and say hello awkwardly.
The professor put down the A4 paper she was holding and turned her chair towards me and sat down.
“So, how are you?”
“Yes, thanks to the professor, I was doing well.”
As I was organizing what I wanted to say in my head, I couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.
***
“Yes… That means it was cut.”
“Yes, that’s it, I’m sorry.”
“Oh no, I’m sorry.”
I explained to the professor what had happened recently.
The professor recognized me well, but unfortunately I was fired from that company.
Of course, the reason for being cut was overlooked.
The professor takes another drag on his cigarette.
“I thought you would do well because you are sincere, but things in this world may not be that easy.”
“No, the professor helped me, but I feel like I didn’t do it right, so I’m just sorry.”
I don’t have anything more to say, and I don’t know where to focus my attention, so I just hesitate.
The professor put out his cigarette in the ashtray, took out his diary from his desk drawer, and began to scribble.
“Uhm… Okay, then…”
While looking through the diary, the professor would often stop at a page, consider it for a moment, and then turn it again.
After looking through the diary, I could only watch quietly as the professor took out his cell phone and started typing on this person.
“Well, I’ll find out more first.”
“… Thank you”
As expected, the professor is very kind to me.
“I have class now, right? So, I’ll contact you in the evening.”
The professor got up from his seat while saying that.
He pats my shoulder and gives me encouragement.
I followed the professor to my feet without even saying thank you.
“Then I’ll see you later.”
“No, no, and next time, don’t send me something too expensive like that? “I’m going to be surprised at the end of the year!”
The professor smiled and entered the classroom.
Huh, I’ve done everything I can with this.
I don’t know how much I can trust the former president, but he said he would find out a few things soon.
The professor said he would look into a few places, so all I have to do now is wait.
All you have to do is wait, get a call, go to another company for an interview or interview, and start working again.
Then, you will be able to resume your daily life without any trouble.
I know it’s a difficult time to find work, but if I do this, I’ll somehow get a job.
Now I’m tired of seeing more familiar faces at school, so I have to go home.
I feel like I met someone at school today and got a misunderstanding.
I had to walk quite a bit to follow the professor to a building I had never seen before.
Even though I went to this school, I feel a little lost in the building I see for the first time and the location I come to for the first time.
Now I’m starting to realize just how miserable I was at school.
A life of going back and forth between home and a few buildings where I went to class.
When I think about it again now, it’s really dark.
At that time, that kind of life was comfortable, but it was a bit too gray.
But aren’t there too many coincidences today?
However, I have used the word so much today that I get tired of using it anymore.
That’s about it, but I saw a scene before my eyes that made me write again.
“Uh.”
“Oh.”
“Nayu… Eh, uncle?”
Nayu and her uncle were standing together.
“Is it really necessary to go that far?”
“Well, just for one thing, just for one thing.”
My uncle said that, told me to wait, and went inside the building.
Only me and Nayu were left.
“What’s going on?”
“Instead of Gahye, I followed you as a reference, the same thing.”
Nayu looks around her and answers.
The surroundings seem strange.
Maybe I don’t have any experience in college or anything like that.
“Huh… There are so many people.”
“Now that school has started.”
“The kids were all in college, so they weren’t there during the day.”
What kind of old man are you…
“What about Gahye? Did you get in safely?”
“Yes, it went in well.”
“Nothing should happen.”
“Nothing will happen. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me, and if you and my uncle come and do more research on people around you, leave a little warning to the school, and check on the perpetrator again, I don’t think there’s anything else to worry about.”
“I guess so?”
Nayu says that and turns her wrist.
“Does your wrist hurt?”
“Uh, ah, I guess it’s just been too long since I’ve written anything.”
“He fought well.”
“Uh, well…”
Nayu turns her other wrist.
“I learned something about fighting.”
“It seems like I learned it from someone who is very good at fighting.”
“Yes, I learned it from you.”
I understood it right away.
My uncle was the strongest person I knew.
“Shall I teach you how to fight?”
“Huh?”
“It was sloppy.”
Nayu says with a smile.
It’s my first time seeing Nayu’s expression like that, and it’s my first time seeing her say something as if she’s teasing me.
Feeling happy about something, I reciprocate with a joke.
“No, don’t underestimate me too much? I also learned something from my uncle.”
“That?”
Well, boxing.
“But why did you lose so helplessly?”
“I only learned it for a month.”
“Giggle.”
Nayu smiles again.
“I’ll teach you, so try your posture.”
While saying that, Nayu takes a slight boxing stance.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to do that on campus in broad daylight.”
“Hey.”
Nayu loses her temper.
Still, I’m glad that people care about me enough to joke around with me.
“Ah, sister, brother!”
At that time, a familiar voice was heard from behind again.
When I look back at that voice
“Hundreds of millions!”
Gahye was rushing towards me.
Before she can react, as soon as she turns around, she is tackled by Gahye.
She is unable to control her body due to the sudden attack and falls on her back.
Although she was nervous from the shock, what she felt was a soft texture.
“Oh my.”
“What’s going on, sister?”
She’s barely trying to keep her body upright, but it’s hard to keep her body upright because of the squishy feeling behind her and Gahye hugging me in front.
But what is that squishy texture at the back?
When I turn her head slightly, it seems like Nayu is supporting me.
Uh, then, this texture.
“Huh?”
A familiar voice is heard again.
Why are you like this today?
When she turned her head in the direction of the voice, she saw her uncle.
Uh, uncle?
Gahye hugged me from the front and stayed in my arms.
Nayu, along with Gahye, took me in her arms and hugged me when I fell because of Gahye.
Me, caught between Gahye and Nayu’s breasts.
And the uncle who looks at us like that.
That uncle’s expression.
That expression.
An expression of confusion, something my uncle never showed at all, like, ‘No, what’s going on?’.
So the time between us stops for a moment.
Ga-hye and Na-yu are the only ones without any change in their expressions, whether they are aware of the seriousness or not.
“Uh, no, so this is…”
If you try to explain and set your position at the same time, you both end up in trouble.
My feet are twisted, my tongue is twisted, and somehow my soul is also twisted.
One by one.
Let’s quickly unravel the kinks one by one.
I put strength on my feet and straightened my body.
He pushed Gahye forward.
There was a distance between the two.
I looked at Nayu’s expression for a moment.
I think it’s okay.
It looks like he doesn’t have any thoughts.
After checking, I turned my head towards my uncle.
Okay, I’ve done it calmly up to this point.
“So uncle, this is nothing…”
Thanks to my uncle not saying anything, I can continue talking.
“It was just an accident. An accident.”
Thanks to maintaining a calm posture, the words come out calmly.
There was silence between the four.
What, I didn’t say anything that strange or wrong?
You didn’t even lie?
“Suddenly Ga-hye fell, and I had to help her…”
“Oh, okay.”
You answer so soullessly, uncle…
“Really, we have nothing to do with anything.”
Oops.
I added it for no reason.
It’s only after I say it that I realize it’s a luxury.
Why did I say something useless?
With no time to blame herself, Ga-hye glares at me and says.
“Oppa?”
The voice was a little sharp.
It’s completely different from his usual round and long voice.
“… Anyway, I’ll go first.”
Just a moment, uncle.
“Well, I came out in the middle of work because I was busy.”
While saying that, the uncle takes out a business card from his wallet.
“You can give Junseok my phone number, but… If that man does something strange or causes harm due to this incident, please contact me first using my personal number. We will take care of it right away.”
Her uncle gives his wife a business card.
Ga-hye puts aside her hostility towards me and accepts her business card.
“You can probably get it, so don’t feel pressured.”
After saying that, the uncle turns his head to Nayu.
“Nayu, if anything happens, please contact me again, okay?”
“Okay, uncle.”
“If anything happens, please contact me, okay?”
My uncle emphasized.
And that too while looking at me.
“And don’t get into an accident… Just wait a little longer.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Okay… Then let’s go.”
Saying that, my uncle left us.
The steps were strangely fast.
