Chapter 319 – Chapter 319. Damn Coincidence -2
(Nam Jae-eun’s point of view)
***
The bingsu shop was full of people.
It was like that near all college districts.
Some shops around the food alley have a lot of customers, and inside are full of chatty college students.
Jae-eun was more relieved to see countless people talking to the person in front of them at each table in the store.
I came with Hong Young-il, but it was because I came to a place where there were many people.
So Jae-eun walked into the bing collection and as she walked to the counter she involuntarily let out her sigh.
“Whew~, I’m glad.”
Young-il, who did not know the language, asked Jae-eun.
“Um. What?”
Jae-eun took her slack back a little and gave her a smile as she spoke.
“Oh, I’ll sit down and talk to you later, senpai.”
Seeing Jae-eun like that, Young-il smiled.
“Okay. What shall we eat?”
The two of them walked to the counter of the shaved ice shop and stood side by side.
“This one.”
“Um, yes. Let’s do this.”
She ordered strawberries.
In fact, it is the most harmless among bingsu.
Becoming a bingmelier is not the goal anyway.
Because the purpose of Jae-eun was to ask Hong Young-il for help regarding the dreaded ‘car’ of ugly boy Yeom Jin-tae, who was slowly slowing down next to her.
After a while, the two faced each other and started eating white bingsu with fruits and syrup sprinkled on it with a bingsu spoon.
And Jae-eun told her own business to her young-il.
“Senior. Have you ever been a stalker?”
“Quite a few times? Why?”
Jae-eun was surprised to hear Young-il’s words.
“Many times?”
“Uh.”
“I didn’t know at all? Did I know anyone?”
The reason Jae-eun is surprised is that stalking is not something that only belongs to her.
It was unexpected.
She thought that in this world, she was the only one experiencing it, but she said that she has been going through it many times and even zero days.
Youngil answered Jaeeun’s question.
“Yes, but why?”
Young-il did not immediately tell Jae-eun her who her own multiple stalkers were.
Then Jae-eun told Young-il her words.
“Ah, I won’t ask you who it is. But, I’m curious. How did you solve it?”
“It’s solved~.”
Youngil took a bite of shaved ice.
Young-il thought the subject of the conversation was a bit unusual, but since he wasn’t talking about the personalities of the women who stalked him, he felt free to tell Jae-eun about it.
“Simple.”
Upon hearing Youngil’s words, Jaeeun’s pupils widened.
“Which…”
“It wasn’t long after I had a boyfriend that everyone let go of the obsession they started on their own.”
“Ah.”
Jae-eun nodded her head.
She then took the condensed milk from the shaved ice with a spoon and applied it on the white shaved ice as if applying makeup, and she took a bite of it.
‘It’s been solved because I have a lover…’
But now, Jae-eun has no boyfriend.
Does that mean she has to make her lover on purpose in order to drop her stalker?
It wasn’t that simple.
Let’s assume one, if she wants to make a lover, first go on a blind date.
And you have to like the man you met through that blind date.
Jae-eun had never had so much fun on a blind date.
For Jae-eun, if it was a one-on-one meeting, since there were several men, she could choose the best one among them, so it was okay.
Even that, just because there were several men didn’t necessarily mean that there was one I liked.
But when I went on a blind date, people I didn’t really like came out and wasted my time.
She had no choice but to do it too.
Jae-eun felt that she was a bit unfair.
She knew that she belonged to the pretty side, but she thought that the number of handsome men was far less than the number of pretty women.
Even if you go out on the street right now, if 100 people pass by, even if you see 4 or 5 of the same woman, there is a woman who makes a ‘wow’ sound right in front of her lips and lingers around.
Seeing a pretty woman by Jae-eun’s standards was not easy, of course, but it wasn’t that difficult either.
But what about John?
After 100 people, it’s usually 0 people.
So, if you see a jonjalnam very occasionally, it’s almost as if you’re discovering a rare heritage registered with the Cultural Heritage Administration.
Jae-eun felt that this was quite unfair.
I wondered why there were no such handsome people in the world.
In such a reality, it was impossible to whip up her lover.
Hearing Young-Il’s solution that she solved her stalker problems by having another lover, Jae-Eun gradually became sullen.
Then Youngil asked Jaeeun.
“Now will you answer my question?”
“Which one?”
“Haha, but why is that all of a sudden?” I said earlier.
When Young-il smiled at that, Jae-eun looked at him and she felt better.
From Jae-eun’s point of view, it was because Yeong-il, in terms of her appearance, was a good enough top-tier guy to be able to easily step on and laugh at most handsome men, even if he wasn’t super handsome like a celebrity.
Jae-eun replied to Young-il, with her feeling a little relaxed.
“Actually, I have that problem too. Stalker.”
“Okay?”
“Yes.”
“It’s going to be a bit of a pain in the ass.”
Young-il looked at Jae-eun with her worried face.
Jae-eun felt comfort in Young-il’s words and expression.
“But Jaeeun-ah.”
“Yes?”
“When that happened to me too, I thought I was the only one there, so I worried and talked about it? But, that happened a lot.”
“Is it so?”
“Hmm. The lines I’m close to are Do Hyung-wook and Jung Ki-chan, everyone, well, there were quite a few things like that.”
Hearing her words, Jae-eun burst into laughter at her.
Haha!”
Youngil asked at Jaeeun’s smile.
“Why?”
“They’re all handsome seniors~! So, doesn’t that happen? I don’t think that’s a common thing, right?”
“What could be the case, though.”
Young-il listened to Jae-eun’s words and nodded his head in agreement.
Jaeeun laughed and ate another glass of shaved ice.
Jae-eun seemed to put her mind at ease.
Talking with Young-il like this, in terms of talking to someone who has gone through similar things, was more willing and nice, perhaps because of the comradeship.
Youngil also scooped up some shaved ice and ate it, while he talked to Jaeeun.
“Jaeeun-ah. Your stalker is serious? How can I help you?”
After hearing her words, Jae-eun thought for a moment before she asked again.
“Youngil oppa, don’t you have a girlfriend?”
Senior and older brother were used interchangeably in the department, so the titles were irrelevant.
When Jae-eun asked if he had a girlfriend, Young-il immediately replied.
“Uh. It should be.”
Jae-eun knew about Young-il’s girlfriend.
She couldn’t know
Youngil was CC.
It was also a couple with the same.
Like Young-il, his girlfriend was also Jae-eun’s senior in the department.
Youngil and his girlfriend were famous for being a very close couple, and in Jaeeun’s eyes, his girlfriend was not as pretty as she was to the extent that she was prettier than him, but the top line was quite possible.
Jae-eun doesn’t know much about Yeong-il’s girlfriend, the senior.
However, she wouldn’t have a girlfriend who would enjoy having a conversation with a female junior like this alone.
When Jae-eun thought of that, she lowered her head slightly and spoke her words while stirring the bottom edge of the shaved ice with a spoon.
“Then I’m worried that my girlfriend won’t like it very much if I do this in my work…”
When Jae-eun thought of Young-il’s girlfriend, she suddenly thought that she would be in trouble if she went into his girlfriend’s ears.
But what did she even ask Youngil for help?
It was then.
-Uh-uh-.
-Uh-uh-.
The mobile phone vibrated and moved to the right of the large bowl of shaved ice he was eating deliciously.
Twice.
In a row.
-Dalgrak
Jae-eun put down the shaved ice spoon for a moment.
She and she picked up the cell phone.
“Youngil oppa, I’ll check the message for a while.”
Haha, feel free to do that. We’re still close friends, right?”
When Young-Il spoke brightly, Jae-Eun looked up at Young-Il just before checking the text messages on his cell phone.
She smiled as she looked at her young-il while holding the phone in both hands.
“Is that so? Is that right? Oppa, aren’t you only close with your girlfriend?”
When Jae-eun said it like a joke, she accepted it with a smile as well.
“Ah~, what is it? Did you think I was the only one close to you?”
“Hohoho! No~! Oppa, I’m just kidding~!”
Laugh together
The atmosphere is good.
Fun.
Young-il and Jae-eun, who are good-looking men and women, look at each other and smile.
Jae-eun looked at her phone in her hand again.
She then unlocked the pattern on her phone and checked her messages.
Seeing her message, Jae-eun’s eyes widened.
“Ha…”
And Jae-eun, while coughing, averted her gaze from her phone.
“Coke! Coke…”
The text message I just received was:
[I was going to give Jae Eun-ah a ride after part-time work, but she went to collect Bing with Young-il?]
[Is it the window seat in the middle of the 3rd floor?]
Jae-eun’s head went blank again for a moment.
She couldn’t figure out how she was going to deal with this.
Yeom Jin-tae was watching her.
From entering the shaved ice restaurant with Youngil to where they sat after entering.
‘Aren’t you really crazy?’
From the moment Jae-eun checked the message on her cell phone, she felt her whole body become chilly, as if shaved ice had been splashed all over her body.
Hong Young-il, who noticed something strange about her, said to Nam Jae-eun.
“What’s going on? Suddenly, your face stiffens.”
“That is…”
“Did you get a text saying that you will be suspended if you don’t pay your overdue phone bill?”
Even in this situation, Youngil’s words were so funny.
It must have been a joke while not knowing the situation, but Jae-eun found it funny.
Haha! Ah! No! I also work part-time, but why am I being delayed with my phone bill~!”
“Then what’s the matter?”
As Youngil, who did not understand the meaning, sat down with a warm smile on his face, Jaeeun was a little worried.
May I intervene in this matter?
Yeom Jin-tae was also a senior to Hong Young-il.
Yeom Jin-tae was a sucker anyway, so I wouldn’t say that he would be disadvantaged in his excessive life.
Still, if she gets involved in this, it’s okay, but she might bother to make someone uncomfortable, so Jae-eun felt sorry if she confided this to Young-il.
So Jae-eun decided to leave it to him.
It means helping yourself or not.
“It’s because of that problem, the stalker that everyone else is going through. Because of that, but…”
Jae-eun asked Young-il.
“Can you help me?”
When Jae-eun said that, Young-il laughed.
“What is it? Of course. Jae-eun, you mean, did you think I would run away if you asked for help? So you’re talking about it after thinking that way?”
“Ah, no~! That’s just because I don’t know if my brother will be able to make someone uncomfortable!”
Jae-eun put her mind at ease just a little bit.
She and she handed the phone to Youngil.
“Brother, look at this.”
“Mmm.”
Jae-eun showed her young-il the messages on her phone, and the two of them looked at the messages together.
[Jae Eun-ah, I was going to give her a ride after her part-time job, but she went to collect Bing with Youngil?]
[Is it the window seat in the middle of the third floor?]
When Young-il also saw her message, his expression hardened like Jae-eun’s.
“And.”
Youngil stuck out his tongue after reading his messages.
And Young-il looked away from her phone and spoke to Jae-eun.
“It’s no joke, this person too. Let’s block it first.”
“I blocked you. That’s why you’re coming from an unknown number.”
“Okay?”
Jae-eun revealed the main character of this letter.
“The person who sent this message…Is senior Yeom Jin-tae.”
“… Are you talking about that senior Yeom Jin-tae I know?”
“Yes.”
She said Hong Young-il was helping, so she was talking to him the whole time.
For some reason, Nam Jae-eun felt that Hong Young-il was safe.
When Jae-eun thought about it, it was because she had a good-looking face, a strong body, a friendly smile, and that she was a verified person to the extent that she had a girlfriend and many other women who liked him.
When Jae-eun said she would help Young-il, she told him more about the incident.
“He shows up in a car. Just thinking about it makes me goosebumps…”
