Chapter 717 – Should We Do That?
『So what do you want to say? How did you find the contact information? The fact that you sent it threateningly like that means that you, like Lee Ji-eun, have awakened your memories to some extent, right? 』
“Well, that…”
I wanted to keep an eye on what Ji-eun was doing wherever I went, but from the perspective of Ji-yeon Lee, Ji-eun’s younger sister, I couldn’t keep tabs on her at university or when she was working part-time, so I asked Chae-young Han, who can see Ji-eun at school, to tell her about Ji-eun’s daily routine. Tried to order you to report to me.
“I want you to tell me what Jieun does all day…”
『Why should I do that? And I’m not just stuck with Lee Ji-eun. 』
“Well, at least just by doing what I do at school…”
『 Ha… When you say that this is your first time contacting me, it doesn’t mean that you’re happy to see us after a long time, but it comes out like that. Why should I listen to you? Do I look like the easy-going Han Chae-young I used to be? 』
This is not the case… She clearly grumbled and followed everything I said, but then she harshly retorted in this way… She would have given me a cold rebuke if it were normal…
If it was right in front of me, I would have given it a good night’s sleep. But now…
“I have no one to ask for except you…”
Of course, if I get help from her family other than Han Chae-young, her sisters and brothers who were worried about me in this world will gladly listen to my request… But both me and Ji-eun will attract more attention than necessary… 〈 Br〉
From her merged memories, she probably became more interested in Mr. Ji-eun as she was worried about her troubles… But she was tired of asking so many times on the phone about what happened to her little by little change…
” ···What? 』
She spoke in a slightly astonished tone and was heard sighing heavily.
『In the first place… Are you really the Shin Ayoung I know? Why did he come off so overbearing in the text message, but then suddenly act like a jerk when we actually spoke on the phone? 』
It was shameful…
If I had known this would happen, I should have talked to her on the phone before her personality merged…
“Help me…”
What I originally wanted to say was, ‘Don’t be a jerk, just shut up and do what I say.’ Br〉
I don’t like it…
『 ···You look pitiful, so I’ll help you just this once. Joy···! Well, it’s not because I still have close feelings for you! 』
Han Chae-young is still an annoying woman with a strange personality
She barely asked for help. She calmed down her anger with just one word. I guess I should help her at least once so that she doesn’t get bullied later.
Because leaving behind debt doesn’t suit my personality…
************
『H-Hello…? 』
What? Is it timid Shin A-young who is talking on the phone right now?
From the stuttering to the slightly intimidated tone of speech, it seemed like the Shin A-young I knew from the original world had not yet appeared.
“How are you doing? “
『Ji-Ji-eun…?! 』
When Han Chae-young heard my voice on the phone, she seemed quite embarrassed
“He said he was very disappointed because you didn’t contact him for a while… That’s why Lee Ji-eun asked me to do it.”
Is it because I can just see him fidgeting over the phone? Since it was on speakerphone, Han Chae-young could hear it, so she explained her situation first, and only then did Shin-ah-young calm down a little with her true voice.
Even so, my voice still seemed to be shaking because it was fresh… Anyway, that wasn’t important right now
“Are you still not ready? “
『 Well… I think it just needs a little more… 』
“If this continues, don’t you think I’ll never be able to see you again? Even when I visit her, she doesn’t meet me, and when I call her, she doesn’t answer…”
『Well, it only takes a little bit…! I’m trying too… 』
Ugh, okay… Anyway, I’m not talking to the persona of Shin A-young that I knew, so saying this is just my way of venting my anger…
“But since she’s been in contact with Han Chae-young, it doesn’t seem like there’s a problem… She looks healthy, so it’s okay. Make sure she eats well and prepares well.”
『···As expected, I hate myself like this』
“It’s not like that, so don’t worry… I’m sorry for being grumpy for no reason. I also wanted to hear your voice, so I’m sorry because I forced Han Chaeyoung to ask for it.”
『Oh, no…!! Ji-eun needs to apologize… Actually, I also wanted to hear Ji-eun’s voice… 』
“Then we’re both fortunate… Anyway, take care and contact me later when you’re ready. Because I’ll be waiting for you.”
『 Yes… I will appear again in front of Jieun as soon as possible… I am almost ready now… Please wait just a little longer… 』
So, the conversation between Shin A-young and I ended without incident, and I asked Han Chae-young, who was looking at me dissatisfied.
” Why? “
“Hmph… Sesame seeds are pouring out from just the two of us…”
A lover who seems to be longing for me and Shin A-young from afar? It seemed like she was projecting herself with this gaze, so I made her laugh and laugh at the jealous girl.
“It’s not like the sesame seeds are falling, but I want to see them.”
“Chi… Why do you want to see other women when you have an attractive woman like me right in front of you…”
“If it were you instead of Shin Ayoung, I would really miss you if I couldn’t contact you for this long, right? “
“···You said you’ve become a real player, so even if you talk nonsense like that, it won’t go away…”
It’s not just a rumor, it’s true…
In fact, it is true that I was very moved by Han Chae-young, who waited for me while I was not awakening her memories, and she took care of herself for me, cut off all contact with me, and locked herself away as if it were her own retreat…
To be honest, I didn’t understand why she chose to stay alone when it was okay for her to join me in working out to lose weight, but she vaguely saw that my affection for her had not cooled, so she held on a little longer.
I decided to wait.
What I was most worried about was that Shin Ah-young would lose her affection for me and leave her side…
During the time she was with her, she mixed herself with other women besides her, so even if she was slapped and separated, she had nothing to say…
That’s why she didn’t stop Shin A-young from cutting off contact with me and staying alone.
Well… I had a deep relationship with Shin A-young, but she wasn’t in a relationship… I have no right to bind her…
I wanted to think of it this way, but I feel quite sad that I can’t get over the deep affection I have for her.
“I can’t help it… My personality is separate… And if I come back later, I’ll have to do something to vent my anger…”
” Huh? What did you just say? “
“I’m just talking to myself”
For now, I think it’s more important to lighten the mood of Han Chae-young, who is happily eating her chicken in front of her, than Shin A-young
“Are you eating well…? “
Actually, I thought it had already been solved with chicken
“It’s like the relationship between so-and-so. Chicken and I have that kind of relationship~”
Of course, I guessed who that ‘who’ was, and she seemed quite upset as she chewed the chicken without even looking at me while sarcastic.
“Should we do that for the first time in a while? “
“I don’t know, say it or not… Tsk tsk”
“Do you know what ‘that’ is? “
“How do I know! I keep eating. Are you going to tell me to stop? “
For a moment, I was taken aback because it seemed like he was furious, but… No, was he furious?
Isn’t there a saying, ‘Don’t even touch the dog when you’re eating’
But Han Chae-young is not a dog, so…
“You don’t regret it? “I want to give you another fun experience after a long time.”
“···Listen to what it is”
“Do you understand when I say ‘walk’? “
“What are you doing, just taking a walk… Ah! “
As if she finally realized what I meant, she finally turned around…
” Really pervert··· “
” Huh? Why are you perverting when you say let’s just take a walk? “
“I don’t know… Anyway, you’re a pervert…”
I thought it was cute that she looked away while blushing, so the corners of my mouth went up again.
“When are you going to do it…”
I didn’t think that saying this would make her feel better, but since she asked for a specific date, it seemed like she was looking forward to her first deviation in a long time.
“Speaking of which, should we do it today? “
“I really said I was crazy…! “
“Do you still have something similar to what you did before at home? “
“There is, but… Are you really going to do it today? “
Well… The surprising point here is that ‘those items’ were prepared again…
It was surprising that items that could only have been prepared in the original world were repurchased in advance in the hope that they would be used here again one day.
How pervert is Han Chae-young…
“Who, who is pervert…!! Because pervert is you, not me!? “
Like this…
It seems like just thinking about it has come out as words
