Chapter 231 – Vacation Trip (3)
After the beach volleyball game, Jang Deok-hun sat down on the sandy beach and sighed sullenly.
“Whoa. I wanted to show off my cool side…….”
He wanted to imprint himself on Han Soo-ah even if he had to defeat his older brother whom he respected, but it failed. He succeeded in facing Seo Ju-hwan in the final, but lost by a narrow margin, just one point.
‘Actually, even if I won, nothing would have changed much.’
Han Soo-ah’s eyes were on Seo Ju-hwan from the beginning to the end. The target she cheered for in the final was, of course, Seo Joo-hwan.
At that time, there was someone approaching me, swaying through the sand. She is Seo Joo-hee, who was on the same team. She held out her drink and sat down next to Deokhun Jang.
“Your brother was cool enough, too. Deuce also lasted a very long time. It’s because I didn’t do it.”
Could it be that I couldn’t just watch what I was trembling with?
Seo Joo-hee comforted Jang Deok-hun.
“I was just pushed by Joo-hwan. Joohee, you were better than Jikyung.”
Deokhun Jang shook his head and admitted his defeat. He was confident in the exercise in his heart, but even that was lost to Seo Joo-hwan.
But he didn’t feel bad.
“It’s Juhee.”
“Yes?”
“Your brother is really great.”
“My brother?”
“Uh. He is the older brother I respect the most.”
“That… They say?”
Seo Ju-hee tilted her head. Of course, looking at her recent change in her, she was objectively great, but from the point of view of her her siblings in her, I wondered if I should even respect her.
Deokhoon Jang nodded his head with a very natural attitude and continued. It was about the appearance of Seo Joo-hwan he had seen so far.
‘What is Joo Hwan hyung…….’
At first, he was just an older, returning student. And in MT, he was recognized as a strong and leading hyung. After that, after he found out he was a writer, he changed into an object of respect who was successfully walking his dream first.
‘The more I know him, the more I can’t help but respect him.’
Seo Joo-hwan was a very special person.
Should I say that I can’t measure the limit?
He not only works as a writer, but also sings, exercises, dances, and at least his game skills are above average. I don’t know if his face was ugly, but he got better every day. He even grew in height, and he was originally close to 10cm taller than himself, but recently he has shrunk to a 5cm gap.
‘So Sua-san must like him too.’
Sense of defeat… Rather than that, I came to understand it for granted. Since he was a brother whom he respected from the heart, he would naturally be attractive in the eyes of others.
If you think about it differently, Han Soo-ah has seen such a man for 20 years. Of course, he would have no choice but to raise his eyes.
“Ehh.”
Hearing the story mixed with lamentation, Seo Ju-hee shook her head and patted Jang Deok-hun on the back.
“That’s true. He’s a big, distracted, timid brother. Why are you so sullen?”
“… Women don’t like timid men, do they?”
“Are you sure it’s almost like that?”
“…….”
“Well, Sua doesn’t care about that at all.”
“That, is it? No, more than that, why did Su and Sua suddenly…….”
“Yes? So, does oppa like Sua?”
“Ugh!”
Deokhoon Jang took a deep breath and opened his eyes like that. At this, Seo Ju-hee blinked her eyes and burst into laughter.
“Kyahahahaha. Did you think you wouldn’t know? Showing off like that?”
“… You got a lot of tea.”
“Wow. It’s more surprising that I thought it wasn’t obvious. Did anyone like it? Maybe Sua knows too?”
“Mr. Sua?!”
Deokhoon Jang was admiring. Even before he confessed, did the person concerned notice it?
Seo Joo-hee waved her hand and said.
“My guess, guess. But it’s an almost certain guess. Sua has been confessed to several times, but I wonder if she doesn’t know that.”
“…….”
“Dukhoon oppa, did you have a few conversations with Sua today?”
“I don’t think I did much…….”
“Hmm.”
Seo Joo-hee chose her words for a moment. How can I say that Jang Deok-hun is less hurt? But what I’m going to say now doesn’t sound good in any way. It would be better if you let me know though. Even if he himself is a little resentful.
“It’s just my opinion, so take it into consideration and listen. It seems to me that Sua is deliberately avoiding her brother her.”
“…….”
“I draw a line because it is too obvious. If you give us room, it might just make our relationship more awkward.”
Seo Joo-hee looked at Jang Deok-hoon and continued her words of her.
“Actually, in the past, Sua was dull with things like that, so bitches like dogs… Ah mistake. She’s been cursed at by the mean kids. So after that, if a guy shows signs of it, she tends to avoid it first and draw a line.”
“…….”
Deokhoon Jang just stared at the sandy bottom without saying a word. Seo Joo-hee looked at him and then spoke again cautiously.
“I’m not avoiding my brother because he’s not attractive. It’s the same no matter who else did it. Well, for example, even if I said I liked celebrities like Hanbin or Park Eun-woo, Sua would have refused.”
“… Do you like Joo-hwan?”
Seo Joo-hee opened her eyes wide once and then nodded her head.
“You knew. Right. Sua always liked my oppa since she was little.
“Ha. He couldn’t have disliked you if he was your brother.”
“… I think you’re misunderstanding something, but my brother isn’t that great.”
“Are you saying your brother isn’t great? You have very high eyes.”
“No! It’s not like that! I’ll correct it. It wasn’t that great back in the day.”
“A long time ago?”
Seo Joo-hee nodded her head and briefly explained. It wasn’t long before her brother Seo Joo-hwan started to change. Rather, from the time she entered middle school, she had a much less than normal time.
“My brother said he was bullied… ?”
She had been told in passing that she did not have many friends. But she, of course, thought she was joking, and she hadn’t even thought of bullying.
Seo Joo-hee let out a small sigh and nodded her head. As she talked about the past, she remembered Seo Joo-hwan from that time and felt a little down.
“As I said, my brother was really unlucky. Even Sua and I pushed away, telling me not to come near her, and I wouldn’t even come to the store often for fear of avoiding them. Anyway, my brother at that time was not as great a person as he is now.”
“It’s amazing that you went through such a difficult time and overcame it…….”
“Yes, of course.”
Seo Joo-hee nodded her head slightly. Seo Joo-hwan at that time was really unlucky enough to wonder if the sky had abandoned him. He wouldn’t have been able to bear it if such misfortune had followed him.
“Anyway, what I want to say is that the reason Sua likes my brother is not because he is a great person.”
“…….”
“What would Sua say about my brother? He is a natural person to like.”
To the point of being a little blind. In a way, it felt like a kind of religion. That’s why Seo Joo-hee hoped that Jang Deok-hoon would not hurt her if he confessed to her.
“Deok-hoon oppa, he will confess even though he knows he will be rejected… ?”
“…….”
Deokhun Jang stared blankly at the beach and was lost in thought.
*
Seo Joo-hwan and Yoo Ji-gyeong returned to the beach.
“Ji-kyung, I’ll bring you some drinks from the dorm.”
“Are they all gone already?”
“Yes. The kids drank too much. You are resting.”
“Okay. Come on, brother.”
Seo Ju-hwan headed to the dorm. He was n’t far from his lodgings his, so it would n’t take him long. In the meantime, Yoo Ji-kyung sat under a parasol and looked at the beach.
I saw Jang Deok-hoon and Seo Joo-hee talking from a distance, and Han Soo-ah floating around on the beach.
“Hey! Don’t stand there!”
“Would you stand like you!”
Jeong Ha-yeon was fiercely pursuing Lee Seok-chan, perhaps because she was being teased.
Yoo Ji-kyung looked around at her party and thought.
‘Who was it?’
I don’t know who showed that scene to me. Even thinking about it, her face seemed to turn red with embarrassment.
“Ah…….”
Yu Ji-kyung buried her face between her knees and groaned. Thinking she looked like that, she couldn’t help but lift her head. During the conversation, she also talked about Jung Ha-yeon, and she wondered if it was something big. Because the relationship between the three was never common.
‘No. What can I do if I know?’
Everyone here is a friendly person. It was embarrassing, but it wouldn’t be a problem.
‘I’d rather have Ha-yeon unnie or Seok-chan oppa see it.’
Two people are the most harmless. Jeong Ha-yeon was one of the parties involved with Seo Joo-hwan, and Lee Seok-chan had a good sense of it, so he must have known the relationship between himself, Jeong Ha-yeon and Seo Ju-hwan right away.
But if someone other than Jung Ha-yeon or Lee Seok-chan caught me…….
‘What do we do.’
Ji-kyung stood up from her seat. Since she was still, she kept thinking about her her, which made her even more anxious. It would have been easier to know for sure who it was.
She approached Jang Deok-hoon and Seo Ju-hee. For now, the two are excluded from the list of suspects. I’ve seen her talking since the beach volleyball was over.
“Deokhun-ah, Joo-hee. Do you know where Uncle Kang-ho and Hye-ri went?”
“Were you on your way to the dorm?”
She said, “She said she was going in first because she was tired. To prepare dinner later.”
“I see.”
Listening to them, Baek Kang-ho and Lee Hye-ri didn’t seem to have come to the cave either.
“Since when have Hayeon and Seokchan been doing that?”
“Not long ago. Seokchan hyung was originally tanning. I’ve been playing around for a while, but I’m being chased. Oh, got it.”
“Okay? Thank you.”
Yoo Ji-kyung was deep in thought.
After all, it’s not even Lee Seok-chan. So, did Jung Ha-yeon see it?
‘That would be nice.’
This is the most fortunate case.
Yoo Ji-kyung approaches Jung Ha-yeon, who is punishing Lee Seok-chan, and asks her if she has ever been to a cave.
“Cave? No, have you ever been? I was sleeping under a parasol. But this bastard threw a ball of sand at me and it bounced.”
“Keck, Kehek. Ji-kyung-ah, save me.”
“Hmm. All right, sister. Then kill yourself go for it.”
“Coke. Yumma, kuck…… !”
Yoo Ji-kyung left the two behind and made a serious expression. Judging by the elimination method, there was only one person left in the end.
‘Did Sua see it…….’
I was caught by the person I most didn’t want. Thinking that Han Soo-ah saw it, she felt worried, not embarrassed. What the hell did she think when she saw that.
At that time, Seo Ju-hwan’s voice was heard from above the stone wall far away.
“Guys! Stop playing and come out! Let’s go wash up and prepare dinner!”
It was the time when the sun was starting to set. Time passed quickly as we played mindlessly.
Lee Seok-chan and his party began to organize their seats. Seo Joo-hwan was also coming back down the hairpin stairs to help clean up.
Jeong Ha-yeon said from a little distance away.
“Ji-kyung, we’re going to clean up here, so can you bring Su-ah? I can’t hear you because you’re far away.”
Han Soo-ah was floating in the sea, quite far away. It looked like an otter.
“Okay. I’ll bring it.”
*
Han Soo-ah was immersed in her thoughts, floating on the sea.
‘To think that Hwan’s brother and Ji-gyeong had such a relationship…….’
It was really fortunate that it wasn’t rape, but on the other hand, I felt shocked and betrayed. She even seemed to be in the middle of her relationship with her ex-girlfriend and her Jung Ha-yeon, if you recall the conversation they had at the end of her life.
‘Am I dating two people at the same time?’
One man has relations with two women. It was generally incomprehensible. If he is a conservative, he may become disillusioned.
However, Han Soo-ah felt betrayed in a different way.
“Huh. Why can’t i….”
Why can’t she be herself? I even took off her clothes her and ran!
“Hwan-i oppa, you idiot… !”
I could understand it rationally. She couldn’t accept the confession since she was already dating the two of them. She had known her for a long time, so it would have been more difficult for her to explain.
However, unlike her rational logic her, her emotions her feel regret. Anyway, she has to be Seo Joo-hwan.
‘I heard you were marrying me.’
She knows that the promise of her immature childhood her is invalid. But since she had stopped looking at her all her life, she could n’t help but feel betrayed. And what she felt more than the feeling of betrayal was the feeling of insecurity.
‘If I stay like this, I’ll keep getting farther away.’
She has only Seo Joo-hwan to herself, but Seo Joo-hwan has another woman. Even two people. As time passed, he would become a dim existence within him. He can only watch from a distance when he whispers love and shares his heart with another woman.
“I hate that…….”
I hate that he loves other women besides himself. But what he hated more than that was that he couldn’t be around himself alone.
‘Me and my brother…….’
That’s when he gradually took hold of his heart.
“Sua! Come out now!”
Yugi’s voice was heard. I looked towards her beach side her and saw her clumsily swimming toward me.
Han Soo-ah smiled bitterly for a moment before she answered.
“Okay! Go out now… Jikyung?!”
“Su, Sua! My feet, kyaaak!”
Yoo Ji-kyung’s expression twisted in pain, and she was swept away by the waves. Even though it was a small wave, she couldn’t control her helplessness.
“Ji, Ji-kyung!”
Yu Ji-kyung struggled with her arms her, unable to answer.
‘A rat on my foot!’
Maybe it was because he was overdoing it in beach volleyball. Or maybe it’s because of the sex in the cave. Anyway, her calf muscles her were twisted and it was painful.
Squash!
Meanwhile, a low wave swept across her face.
Yoo Ji-kyung, who inhaled seawater, coughed and stirred his hands.
“Coke! Buy, save… Pooh ok!”
The water came right up my nose, making it hard to breathe. The water wasn’t deep, so I could have kicked the bottom, but I couldn’t because of the rats. When she barely jumped on her other foot, the waves came crashing into her nose.
“Ji-kyung, hold my hand!”
It was Han Soo-ah’s voice in her. She reached out her hand when she had swam near her before she knew it. As if Yoo Ji-kyung, who was struggling with her struggles her, was her lifeline her, she grabbed her hand her.
But she says rescuing a panicked person in the water is difficult. Not to mention, she was no match for Han Soo-ah, who was smaller than Yu Ji-gyeong.
“Kyaaak! Jikyung-ah, stay still!”
“Aww! Me, my legs, phuck!”
“Hey, you two are out! Kyaaaaagh!”
Yoo Ji-kyung held onto Han Soo-ah with her instinct to live. Since you can’t move your cramped leg, you cling to something you can grab onto.
Han Soo-ah was a fairly good swimmer, but she was not at the level of an athlete. And sea rescue is a tough job even for a swimmer. She struggled together, unable to withstand the force of clinging.
At that time, there was a hand holding each of them.
“You! Are you alive?!”
“Sua! It’s okay?!”
They were Seo Joo-hwan and Jang Deok-hun.
They lifted Yoo Ji-gyeong and Han Soo-ah with their feet straight on the ground. And with his back on his back, he returned to the sandy beach.
Yu Ji-kyung coughed up water and caught her breath. She and she wept, she said.
“Oh, Brother, I have a cramp in my leg…….”
Seo Joo-hwan frowned and punched Yoo Ji-gyeong in the head.
“Ah! Why do you hit me!”
Next, Han Soo-ah’s head was hit.
“Me, why am I?!”
Han Soo-ah looked up at Seo Ju-hwan with her unfair eyes.
He frowned and shook his head again and shouted.
“These peanuts! You are prohibited from bathing in the sea from now on!”
It’s not the east coast, it’s the west coast.
Almost drowning in a place with a depth of less than 1.6 degrees.
There was no comedy like this.
“Is it my fault for being short!”
“Hwan-i oppa is too much!”
The little ones screamed sadly.
