Chapter 247 – Snowflakes Are Dyed Black.
A turning point in life is bound to come to everyone.
I thought it could be a dramatic event or a short moment in an ordinary day.
And [I imprisoned her] Is the turning point itself for her view of love.
Until then, if I hadn’t had a clear opinion about my ideal type, it wouldn’t have been since I finished the mid-winter writer’s bible run.
The desire to be dominated by a strong male.
I felt a fierce attraction to a man who thoroughly trampled on my doctor and destroyed me.
But I knew very well that such a man did not exist in real life.
That’s right… All the boys around me are like him…
“Hey… Do you want to go out for lunch later?”
“Uh.”
Haa… Why are only these people I meet getting entangled?
Choi Jae-hyeok next to me was the type that was far from my ideal type.
Among my friends, there were some who liked the shy side of men, but not me.
I was never the objectively ugly type.
Although the face was close to that of a cutie who was in demand, there was no way Lee Jin-seong would blush while stuttering.
Even if I’ve painted girls’ faces bright red by punching them, I would never show them such an arrogant side.
“Okay? Then, where shall we go to the restaurant later? They say the restaurant at the law school is delicious.”
I didn’t like the fact that he smiled so carelessly at the subject of tea.
Do you have no self-respect?
“I don’t know. Let’s go where you want to go.”
I thought that if I had to eat once anyway, it would be better to eat quickly and clean up.
I should ask Sua to come with me later.
As the two of them were eating face to face, I began to think that I might be serious.
“Do you guys need to talk in English? Do you keep hearing Korean words?”
Reluctantly, we had a brief conversation in English, and the hour-long class felt like an eternity to me.
“Sua!”
“Uh. Nayeon. Why?”
“I think I’m going to eat with Jaehyuk. Do you want to eat together?”
Please… Please come with me…
“What are you eating?”
“Looks like I’m going to eat.”
“Now?”
“Uh. Now.”
I felt that something was being said for too long.
“Ah. Do you think I’m having a hard time now? I thought I would have to stop by the club right after I went to school.”
“Ah… Are you very busy?”
“Uh. Did you just eat with the other kids? Let’s eat together.”
Ah. Then she wanted to go see Dahye, but Dahye had gone somewhere in such a hurry that she had already disappeared from the classroom.
“Nayeon. If you feel uncomfortable eating with me…”
Choi Jae-hyeok stands next to me and looks at me like a puppy in the rain.
“No no. Let’s just go.”
What else are you procrastinating on? Just close your eyes, eat, and you’re done.
Wouldn’t it be okay to just hurry up and eat it in 30 minutes?
In the end, the two of us moved to the law school restaurant selected by Choi Jae-hyeok.
* * *
Scholarship…
Didn’t I ask you to buy it?
Seeing Nayeon’s increasingly pale face made me feel sorry for nothing.
She asked the other girls if they would like to eat together, but Nayeon, who had been rejected by her, seemed to eat her meal with me reluctantly.
“I chose You come and choose.”
When Nayeon placed her order first, she said that I, who was standing next to her, would eat 3500 won banquet noodles.
“It’s okay to eat expensive food, but why do you eat cheap food?”
Nayeon talked like she was really okay, but I shook her head.
“No no. I really want to eat this.”
I felt uncomfortable thinking that I was getting something more expensive than what I gave out.
“Okay. Then what.”
The two of us sat by the window after accepting the ticket and receiving the food.
It seemed like this was the first time we sat face to face like this since the time we confessed.
…Pretty.
I just thought it was really pretty.
The warm sunlight made her white skin look even whiter.
Nayeon, who has an outstanding beauty to the point of appearing in the school community, was messing around with fried rice in front of me.
“What did I bury?”
Nayeon seemed to be conscious of my gaze, perhaps staring at her too closely.
“Ah. No. Thinking about something else for a while.”
“Okay?”
It took a moment to admire her beauty.
Suddenly thinking of [I imprisoned her], I pushed the noodles in her bowl with her chopsticks.
“Na Yeon-ah.”
“Huh?”
“I’m just asking because I’m curious.”
“Huh. What?”
“What is your ideal type?”
If you had asked me about this before getting dumped, it would have been nice not to have hesitated so much.
After hearing the question, Nayeon paused for a moment before opening her mouth.
“…A person who does not care about others and acts according to his own convictions.”
It was a plausible answer, and I thought it was a point that I could feel the charm enough, but I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“…Okay?”
At least it was different from saying that I wasn’t the one who was only paying attention from one to ten.
“Huh. I like honest people.”
After that, Nayeon picked up her phone to check her time and tidied up her tray.
“I have work, so I will wake up first. Eat slowly and go.”
“Ah. Huh. Thanks for buying it.”
“No no. I’m paying back what I asked for. See you again.”
The back of Nayeon who is getting farther and farther away.
“Why is the soup so bitter?”
I hadn’t thought about her until just now, but after she left, I drank her soup and cursed at her poor learning.
When I left the restaurant and came out, I felt that the spring of my 20 years had passed and summer was approaching.
Fresh grass was growing luxuriantly, and now I could see students in short sleeves walking around quite a bit.
Sitting on a bench in front of a large oak tree, I tried to soothe my sore stomach for a while before going home.
I heard you’ll get a girlfriend when you go to college. Mom.
I studied really hard and came to college, but the girl I like didn’t seem to like me.
The reason why my living expenses were tight this month was because I bought a lot of things to look good on Nayeon.
For the first time in my life, I went to a reputable hair salon and got a perm, and I was the one who asked a friend who was interested in clothes to go to the shopping mall with me.
He said he would accept it unconditionally…
What is the pass…
It was me who became a pass in the sense of really passing by.
I wish there was something like a snap button.
A button that turns off your favorite feeling when you tap one finger, and turns it on when you tap it again.
I took out my phone and texted my best friend of 10 years.
[What is Lee Kyung-min doing?]
[I’m at school. Why.]
[Can I have a drink today?]
[It’s possible, but what’s going on?]
[ㅇㅇ It’s good if you hear it. I’ll release the porridge, so just buy me a drink.]
If I tell Na-yeon the story of how she confessed to her, she will probably tease her.
[Oh. Really? I guess there is something. ㅇㅋㅇㅋ Later, near your town ㄱㄱㄱ]
Wouldn’t it be a friend to call at a time like this?
If you wake up after drinking a whole bottle, you will surely be able to forget that child.
* * *
“So. What are you talking about?”
A lamb skewer shop not too far from home.
After receiving a glass from the employee, Kyung-min poured a beer for him.
“It was black.”
“What?”
“It was black.”
“No. Say it again.”
At first, I thought I really didn’t hear it, so I tried to answer again, but now I don’t.
“Ah. Listen, why do you say it again?”
“Ah. But your expression is fucking funny.”
Kyungmin giggled ignorantly as soon as he saw my distressed face, fearing that he might not be my best friend.
“Hey. But let’s see his face. Why are you making a fuss like that and risking death?”
“…Pretty is really pretty.”
“Okay, so a picture.”
When I opened the messenger window and showed Nayeon’s profile, Kyungmin’s eyes widened.
“Jaehyuk.”
“Huh?”
“Fuck. Know the subject a little.”
“Puhhhhh.”
Kyung-min’s reaction was so funny that I couldn’t stop laughing even though I was being whipped.
“Ah. Jaehyuk. This is not hey. I really said that you would say it was a waste of time, but this isn’t it.”
“I know. Child.”
Embarrassed, I raised my glass and asked for a toast.
“Anyway, I confessed, but I was kicked out.”
The glasses collided and made a refreshing sound.
“Hey. If that’s enough, I’m sure five or six other than you have already gone.”
“Is that tidy?”
He thought he was pretty, but there was only one senior, a returning 2nd grader, who I heard that he confessed to Nayeon.
“What. Do you think that would be the case if the picture and the real thing were the same?”
“I think the real thing is better…”
“Then game over. What did he say because you confessed?”
“I’m just sorry…”
Kyungmin crossed her arms and clicked her tongue.
“Hey. If you say it’s okay, I’ll introduce you to our department. Fold him.”
“I’d rather do that…”
Looking back on the conversation we had during the day today, I felt like the possibility of me and Nayeon getting married would converge to zero.
…It’s depressing.
I tried to comfort her, but when my expression didn’t improve, Kyungmin changed the direction of the conversation.
“Hey. It seems like it’s already ruined, but if you don’t feel like folding that much, just confess one more time.”
“…Same again?”
“No. You stupid bastard Will he accept it if I do the same?”
That’s right, but…
“Then what should I do?”
“You said He said he came in today to know what his ideal type is.”
After emptying his glass, Kyungmin made a loud noise.
“Then wouldn’t it be necessary to become a customized human being who meets the conditions?”
…Now, Kyungmin wondered if he knew what he was talking about.
