Chapter 999 – Good Things Should Be Shared Between Friends (4)
A week passed quickly, and both Lee Ji-eun and Jeong Hye-soo were on vacation, and in the meantime, plans for camping were made and scheduled.
And when I came to my senses, it was the day I was supposed to leave.
“Did you sleep well?”
“. Good morning.”
Lee Ji-eun, who greeted Jeong Hye-soo in the morning not in her own home, but in her own room, greeted her with a brief yawn and checked her time.
“8 o’clock.”
For a college student on vacation, this is a fairly early wake-up time.
Still, Minseok said he would come pick her up by car in two hours, so it was time for her to get ready if she didn’t want to be pressed for time.
Fortunately, I prepared my luggage and the clothes I would wear today in advance yesterday, so all I had to do was wash and dry my hair.
“Give me some coffee too.”
“Okay.”
She got up first and spoke to Hye-su, who was making her coffee, and she responded briefly.
Even after she became a college student, she stayed over at Hye-su’s house a few times, so she was used to waking up together like this without feeling awkward.
“Now.”
“Thank you.”
She was half-asleep and sat dazed on the bed, but she slowly came to her senses by drinking the coffee that Jeong Hye-soo gave her.
“. We’re really going together.”
It was something she had already thought about several times, but the thought of meeting Minseok again, whom she had not seen in more than a year, made her feel strange.
“I wash first?”
“Oh, yes.”
She almost woke up, but this time, Lee Ji-eun, who was dazed and sipping her coffee with other thoughts, came to her senses again when she heard Jeong Hye-soo’s voice, and she answered in a slightly dazed voice.
‘. Nothing will happen.’
In the end, it’s just embarrassing to see her face because of what happened last year.
It wasn’t a particularly bad breakup with her, and I knew she was a trustworthy person with a good personality.
So, even though it was such a sudden request, she willingly took her leave and went along with it.
Before she knew it, she had finished drinking her coffee, and as she listened to the sound of water coming from her bathroom again, she came to the same conclusion as before.
I got her number the first time I met her, and in less than a month, I had sex with her, and even got Hye-su involved, so it’s embarrassing to see her face, but that’s it.
Even after coming to that conclusion, while she was still dazed and dazed, Hye-su came out from her shower, and she went into the bathroom as if taking a shift and washed her body.
“. Phew.”
After washing my body with warm water starting from my head, I feel like I am finally waking up properly.
After taking a shower, I felt refreshed, dried Hye-soo’s hair, and changed her clothes. Then, time was running out, and I was lost.
‘I should have woken up a little later.’
It wasn’t that she really wanted to sleep more, but she felt uncomfortable staying still for no reason, so she thought about it.
Still, as I absently looked at her shorts, time passed, and it was almost time for Minseok to come pick me up.
KakaoTalk!
[Choi Min-seok: It’s in front of my house right now. Are you still preparing?]
“Oppa is here. Let’s go down.”
“Oh, yes.”
I immediately made eye contact with Hye-su when I saw the message that appeared just above the screen, and when she told me to go down, I nodded and answered, got off the bed and packed my bags.
Feeling a bit of relief that this frustrating time was over and feeling more tense than before, I followed Hye-soo out of the house, and the moment I saw Min-seok oppa standing in front of the house with his car parked.
Hwaak-
Contrary to my expectation that it would just be embarrassing, my cheeks got hot, and my heart began to beat rapidly.
* * *
It was my first time camping, but there was nothing particularly difficult about it.
These days, the campsites are so well-maintained that you can rent pretty much any equipment just by going, and many places will even set up your tent in advance if you pay extra.
Of course, I didn’t make a reservation because the author said she expected me to prepare it myself, but it was convenient not to have to prepare anything separately.
‘No matter what happened, I would have ordered it all from Seoyeon.’
With that shameless thought in mind, I drove to Hye-soo’s house, stopped the car, sent a message, and soon the two came down together.
Hye-soo was acting calm, thinking that it was about to start, but she looked a little nervous, and when Jieun made eye contact with her, her cheeks blushed, and she turned her head to avoid her gaze. 〉
‘I thought it was okay now. Wasn’t it?’
Should I say that the compatibility is perfect? Although it is rare, there have been cases where I was naturally attracted by the energy I had and developed a crush on someone. Ji-eun Lee was such a case.
When I first met her, she suddenly approached me and tried to get my number, and even though she used hypnosis, she liked me enough to give herself away very easily.
Still, as she focused on her college life, she naturally forgot about me and stopped contacting me, so I thought things were getting better. I didn’t know that she would react like this as soon as we met again.
It is a difficult situation for Hye-soo, who has to tell Ji-eun that she has been secretly dating him.
Of course, if things didn’t work out, I planned to step in and solve the problem, but it was clear that the situation had become a little more interesting.
“It’s been a while, both of you.”
“. I guess so.”
“Oh, it’s been a while.”
When the two people came out with duffel bags on each of their shoulders and gave a brief greeting, Jeong Hye-soo accepted the greeting a little awkwardly, and Lee Ji-eun received the greeting very awkwardly.
It was an expression that anyone could see that he was clearly embarrassed.
“I think I can push a little harder at this level.”
Although she had no intention of doing so, she was secretly apprehensive about the possibility that her body would allow it if she just set the tone and pushed, without the need for hypnosis.
“Let’s get on. Let’s talk as we go.”
“Then.”
“. Excuse me.”
Hye-soo opened the back door and went in differently than usual, probably because she was watching Jieun, and Jieun hesitantly followed Hye-su into her car, looking at me, not at Hye-su.
After making sure the car door was closed, I got into the driver’s seat and sat down. I looked at the two people through the rearview mirror and opened my mouth.
“Since the time is uncertain right now, let’s stop by the rest area and eat. Is that okay?”
“It’s okay.”
“. Me too.”
Hye-soo seems to have relaxed a little after getting into her car, but Ji-eun is still restless.
If she tried, she could relax a little with hypnosis, but I thought it would be better to just leave her alone, so she set off without doing anything.
“How are you both doing?”
“Just normal.”
“. Nothing happened to me either.”
It was only after she sat down next to him that Hye-su’s expression hardened slightly, perhaps because she realized that Ji-eun was in a strange state.
Her cheeks are still red, her body is restless and squirming, and her eyes are moving back and forth, unable to stay in one place. Anyone who sees her can tell that she is extremely nervous.
And, it wasn’t difficult to figure out what the tension was coming from.
“I think Hye-soo has become prettier in the time we haven’t seen each other. She seems to have grown a bit more mature.”
“. Really?”
When I first praised Hye-soo, pretending not to know anything about the situation behind her, the answer came back in a slightly shaken voice.
Every little conversation like this was like lying to Ji-eun as if we had no relationship at all, so it was natural for him to feel uncomfortable.
“And the author.”
Gulp.
When I made eye contact with Jieun through the rearview mirror and pretended to look at her face, I heard a small swallowing sound from her nervous expression.
“It’s still cute.”
“Ah, haha.”
Her eyes waver as if she is a little disappointed by the simple and brief compliment, which is different from the one she gave to Hye-su, and she smiles awkwardly as if she is trying not to show her disappointment.
“They’re both pretty, so they must be popular. Don’t men bother them?”
“Not really.”
“I don’t particularly…”
In Hye-soo’s case, she put up a barrier to every man who approached her and knew that there was even a stalker, but she pretended not to know.
“Oh, I don’t think so. Has there ever been a guy who asked for your number? Or outright asked you out.”
“. It wasn’t there at all.”
“Me too.”
However, when I persistently asked her once more, Hye-su responded as if there was nothing she could do, and Ji-eun followed Hye-su in agreeing.
“I thought so. Still, it looks like neither of them are dating anyone. Considering that they asked me to be their guardian.”
“. Yeah, well.”
Along with the shaky answer, there were looks in the rearview mirror asking me to stop, but I pretended not to notice and continued the conversation that made them uncomfortable.
As a result, when I stop talking, there is awkward silence, and when I speak up, the awkward answer comes back as soon as I speak.
And at some point. Lee Ji-eun spoke in a slightly subdued voice, as if she had decided on something.
“. What about my brother?”
“Huh? Me?”
“How have you been?”
“Well, I lived a normal life. I worked with my parents, rested at home, and played with my friends.”
“The person I’m dating…”
“Do you think there is?”
“…”
She looked slightly uneasy when I playfully returned the question without giving a proper answer.
We haven’t seen each other in over a year. It was very cute to see him anxious about what would happen if I had a lover.
‘I can’t keep doing this… No, it’s not working, is it?’
He looks like he wants to keep teasing and tormenting him, and even though no one has touched him, his lower body tenses up, and he tries to push the front of his pants down.
Now, perhaps because I have more experience, there are almost no cases where I gain strength just from the situation without physical stimulation.
The situation of Ji-eun being asked this question with an anxious expression, with Hye-soo next to him, seemed quite provocative.
Still, having a good erection wasn’t a particularly bad thing, so she just thought of it as a good thing and decided to move on.
‘I secretly want to ask you to take a step back. It might be a bit difficult.’
Of course you can’t do that while driving, and I don’t know if there’s a place where you can do that at a rest stop.
Anyway, if I continue to fuss like this, I’ll just be frustrated, so I’m trying to calm my excitement as much as possible.
“Is there…?”
When I asked again in a voice that was a little more anxious than when I first asked, I had no time to relax and instead became more tense.
‘. I can’t do it.’
No matter what, it would have subsided by the time we arrived, but since we were already screwed, I decided that we had to somehow get Ji-eun out and take a step back.
