Chapter 185 – Chapter 185
“Ah, that’s…”
Oops, I wanted to. I couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say.
I was still breaking out in a cold sweat, but I was sweating even more as if a dam had burst.
In this state, no matter what you say, you won’t believe it, and your resume will be destroyed.
I grabbed Joo Seo-yeon’s shoulder in front of me and looked directly at her.
“…”
Joo Seo-yeon, who was crying, looked at my hand on his shoulder and then he turned to me.
“It doesn’t change that we’re childhood friends. That’s real.”
I started talking with a serious face, expression, and tone.
“We went to a snack bar together after school, we rode bikes together on the weekend, we wanted to eat jajangmyeon but we didn’t have any money so we went through it feeling depressed. We bought milk at a convenience store and shared it. Everything is true. No matter what you say, it’s true. Doesn’t change.”
“…Huh.”
It was only then that he looked at me with teary eyes at my sincere words.
I had to seize this opportunity unconditionally, so first of all, I talked about things that she and I could fully relate to.
“Because of what he said, the memories between the two of us aren’t so faint, right?”
Joo Seo-yeon, who only dreams without saying a word.
“And remember when we met after such a long time? At school.”
“…Huh.”
“It was so amazing and nice at that time, and that was it.”
“…”
A small smile appeared on the face that had been crying as if he remembered that time.
In addition, I brought out the memories and memories of her that she told me from the depths of her head and listed them one by one.
“Do you remember us? We sold ice cream for 300 won at Lotteria.
“Put, it was.”
“After thinking about that time, I regret it so much. If I go back to that time, I’ll be sure to come out with all my blood on my face.”
“…Whoa.”
I wiped away the flowing tears and rubbed them on my clothes.
“…”
What am I doing? The moment I met her eyes, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Puhw! Ehh! Don’t be funny.”
“…When did I laugh…”
When I saw him take my clothes and wipe away his own tears, I thought he’d feel better now.
In order to finish her up a little more, I brought up the story with her carefully.
“And you remember at the beginning of this year?
“That’s right. That’s why I thought it was Gingamin.”
“But you picked out my clothes and bought yours with my own money… But that’s not the problem anyway.”
When I bring up the story of that time, like her photo album, I pull out that scene from her memory and make me smile.
“Looking at it, I was completely depressed at the time. I had no motivation for life, I just lived as I pleased, and after work, I stayed at home watching TV and had a beer and slept.”
I deliberately hid it for fear that talking about Ko Min-jung would backfire.
“You were the one who helped me then.”
“…I didn’t do anything…”
She said so, but she had a look on her face asking me to say more.
These were visible actions, but he deliberately deceived me and said more.
“I was very depressed. Well, even if it’s not melancholy, I’m going to live like this and go like that someday when I get older?”
At the end of her words, she pointed her finger at the sky.
“I had those thoughts, but then you appeared. I was into mannerisms…”
At first, I mixed her lies and the truth properly to tell her what to say, and then before I knew it, I myself was confessing to her.
Until she met her resume, as she said, she was just living her life day by day, earning pennies and spending her free days without any hobbies.
The hours she had spent in vain gathered together, and when she came to her senses, she was 30 before she knew it.
She had no intention of denying it.
Did I gain my age in exchange for the time I wasted?
“Thanks to you, you’re living a very bright life now. I shave my hair regularly now.
“Hmm…”
Joo Seo-yeon slowly raised her hand and touched her hair.
“Now there are more clothes in the moldy closet. It’s brighter than before.”
“It’s not because of me, it’s because of Teacher Go~”
She whined, pretending not to be the case, looking elsewhere. Raising her hand that had gripped her shoulder, she caressed her thin jawline and looked at me.
My eyes were looking straight into hers.
“It’s real. It’s because you always make me laugh, make me laugh, and make me bright.”
“…”
He was strong in other things, but weak in praise, so he couldn’t even make eye contact with them.
“You should look into my eyes~, Seo Yeon-ah~.”
When I spoke softly, as if dealing with her child, she finally raised her eyes, which had turned away, and looked straight at her.
My eyes were in her pupils.
Shit.
He sent her a proud smile toward her.
“Why are you laughing?”
Joo Seo-yeon stretches out her words as if she is embarrassed.
“It’s just so cute and that’s why.”
I pressed my forehead against Joo Seo-yeon’s forehead.
“There is not a single lie in what I have said so far.”
Everything about his childhood friend was a lie, but at least in the part where he confessed, there was no lie at all.
“…I know~.”
Joo Seo-yeon smiled with her calmer face.
“So don’t be shaken.”
“…Okay~.”
After answering, Joo Seo-yeon put her lips on my lips. The encounter was not a rough and dirty movement.
It was a match that was light and confirmed the sincerity.
“Is it really because of me? Not Teacher Go.”
She was a person too. It was a feeling made of lies, but it became real before I knew it, and now I was showing jealousy.
I put my hand on her waist and nodded her head.
It was only movement without sound, but Joo Seo-yeon, who understood everything, embraced me.
They stayed still for a while, just hugging each other silently without saying a word.
Growl
At that moment, a sound came from Joo Seo-yeon’s belly.
“…”
“…It’s not.”
“…The sound was loud.”
I felt like I could play around with it now. As I expected, she smiled at my pun and rubbed her face against my shoulder.
“…Did you wipe away your tears?”
“It’s not?”
“…Are your shoulders damp?”
Joo Seo-yeon tapped her on my shoulder.
“Okay, now I’m going to dry up.”
“Wow.”
She came out of my arms and looked at me.
“I’m a little ashamed and embarrassed to say this…”
“Are we going to talk about something serious first?”
“Yeah, but it wasn’t too bad.”
Regaining her strength, she came up to me with her characteristic smirk and kissed me again.
Side.
This time it was a stronger kiss than the first.
“I’m hungry, let’s eat something.”
“Gren? What do you want to eat?”
Now that everything seemed to be okay, I wanted to go home and check my resume. However, I didn’t know what would happen if I left now, so I decided to listen to her as much as possible.
“Anything Seoyeon wants to eat.”
Ju Seo-yeon hugged me once more and rubbed her face, probably feeling that I was adjusting.
“Spicy! I want to eat spicy.”
“Okay? Then let’s go eat. What’s ahead?”
“Chicken feet…”
“Okay, let’s go eat.”
I thought she really liked spicy food. She had taken chicken feet before.
She couldn’t see that her face was swollen. She pulled on her white ball cap and went out.
The boy named Woohyuk was nowhere to be seen. The parked sports car was also nowhere to be seen.
Swoop.
I took her hand in mine with her trembling hand as she was weary of her crying.
I held her hand tightly and smiled silently.
“Whoa~.”
She lifted her hat slightly and let out a deep breath. It was a long, deep breath, as if I was throwing up everything I had been holding back.
After she had spit it out, she put her hat back on and tilted her head at me.
He took my hand, crossed his arms around her forearm, intertwined her fingers, and interlaced them.
“Are you friends?”
In that state, she asked me.
“A friend. Why?”
“Haaa~. That’s right.”
“…Do you wish we weren’t friends?”
At those words, Joo Seo-yeon stood dumbfounded and stopped. When I turned around, she was speechless, only her head down.
She held her finger up the brim of her hat, looking like she was about to burst out crying again.
Her weeping eyes stared only at my chest.
“Yeah, I hate being just friends.”
“…”
I hugged her once more.
“Why did I miss you…”
She said while stroking her back.
“…Or that… My wife…”
“… You know it’s not okay.”
She was still her 3rd wife to Joo Seo-yeon, so she had no common sense whatsoever.
A new addition to her résumé would make her aware.
“Let’s go eat something spicy. Let’s go eat chicken feet.”
“…Huh.”
I pulled her with strength in her hand, and like her flimsy kite, she flew gently to me and clung to her.
