Chapter 45 – 8. Betrayal (3)
There is nothing to enjoy in a small rural town.
8. Betrayal (3)
“Who did you hear from?”
“To the professor.”
Chaekyung said while wiping the tears from her eyes. When she first arrived at Lee Yul’s house, she was already crying profusely. She got angry with him, wrote her anger, cried for a long time, and sat on her sofa sobbing pitifully for 30 minutes. Only then did she calm down. Sat next to
“I just hoped you wouldn’t know.”
“How could that be?”
When she, exhausted from her crying, questioned in a slightly hoarse voice, Lee Yul answered calmly.
“So what if I tell you? What if Lee Junhyung told me that he was dating that professor? Are you going to go and pick it up? Are you going to break up with Lee Jun-hyung after hitting the professor?”
“…”
Chaeyoung couldn’t answer.
“You won’t be able to do anything anyway and you’ll suffer alone again. Even though I’m sad and cry, I just like Lee Jun-hyung, so I’m not going to be hurt alone like an idiot.”
He was right. Chae-kyung had neither the courage to argue with Jun-hyung nor the will to be angry with Yoon-jung. She was a person who was afraid of saying something unpleasant to others, and Chae-kyung was such a person. Of course, like Lim Gyu-hang, she gets angry at things that are clearly wrong, but anger at the person she hates in the first place is different from being angry at the person she loves. What if Junhyung really likes the professor? Fearing that she might be dumped if she argued directly with him, Chae-kyung didn’t do anything to bring things to this point, and she wouldn’t do anything.
“Huh.”
Finally, unable to bear it, she burst into tears again. Her tear ducts, which she thought she had squeezed out, were still full, and she let out another tear. Lee Yul sighed and sipped the tea he had brought for himself. At this moment, at the best opportunity Lee Jun-hyung had created, he felt a sudden sense of boredom. Even though it was a short time, less than a month, I put more effort and care than usual and came this far. He was now a few steps away and her annoyance came as he thought of comforting her again.
“Whoa…”
I look at the side of her sobbing. Short brown hair dyed lightly, and a fine jawline exposed underneath. The blouse and corset skirt she wears today are her favorite outfits. When the bra straps sticking out over the thin white blouse caught her eye, her motivation returned to him. Yes, all of this in order to obtain this body. It was all for the sake of her body. She kneaded it many times with her hands and tasted it with her tongue, but she hadn’t yet eaten it whole. Getting bored before biting, sucking, and enjoying it is unforgivable. In his experience, she almost fell into her hands. With a few more efforts in the future, you will be able to have it.
“I had a promise to Lim Gyu-hang, so we were just talking about it. As I was walking, I saw the professor and Lee Jun-hyung in front of me. I followed it just in case. We went to the optician together and looked at this and that. But the atmosphere was a bit like that.”
“How was it?”
Lee Yul let out an exaggerated sigh and replied.
“He had his arms crossed. Very close.”
“…”
Take a breath and continue.
“They went for the sunglasses, as if they had finished looking at the glasses. We play by covering each other, but I thought this wasn’t the case.”
“And?”
“Even though there were employees around, they kissed me. Like you don’t care.”
Chae-kyung couldn’t bear it and lowered her head and started crying again.
“That’s why I said, it’s better not to know.”
After another dozen minutes, Yi-yul spoke again to the woman who was finally real.
“I couldn’t just watch, so I went inside and called Junhyung Lee. They tried to kick me out of the store before I could say anything. So when I said I was going to talk to you, he suddenly hit me, and then you see what happened.”
Seeing him waving her arm in a cast, Chae-kyung scolded him.
“Why did you do that? It only hurts you for no reason.”
“You promised. I promise to solve the professor’s problem. To be honest, I wasn’t sure about that issue. It’s not like a true friend that I can convince him of. Or he’s not strong enough to kick the professor out. But still, seeing you doing that right in front of me made me think of you. When I came to my senses, I was already in the store and arguing.”
Lee Yul touched her own cast with her free hand and gently appealed to her. She went out for the promise she made with herself, and as a result, she was hurt like this. Chae-kyung has a complete second thought about her Yi-yul. He was flirtatious, frivolous, and willing to do lewd things to himself at every opportunity, but at least he was trustworthy. He told her to subdue the man who had harmed her, solving her terrible problems even in her imagination. Even outside of her own control, he was hurt trying for her. But now he still worries about himself. He didn’t even tell him that he was injured while working for himself. Rather, he was worried that Chae-kyung would get hurt.
“Sorry. I couldn’t do anything and only showed my ugly side. Besides, I wish you didn’t know, if possible.”
“I already knew.”
Lee Yul turned her body and faced her as if she had made up her mind about something. He reached out her uninjured left hand and took her hand.
“Chae Kyung-ah. I’m only going to ask you once, so think really deeply before answering. Is this still Lee Junhyung?”
Chaeyoung didn’t respond immediately. Of course, she still loves Jun-hyung. It’s a love she has nurtured for over 10 years and there’s no way she can give up and tear it apart so easily. But she did, and her pride wouldn’t allow her to admit it readily.
“Answer me. Do you want to keep dating Lee Junhyung?”
Chaeyoung’s eyes twitch. Lee Yul’s face, hand, cast, teacup, and table were frantically stopped, and she closed her eyes. Tears run down her cheeks. Her eyelids lifted and her exposed eyes were just full of sadness.
“Huh. I want to date you.”
“Okay. Then be patient a little longer. Don’t tell Lee Junhyung about today’s work, and don’t even think about the professor. You just have to date happily like you did until now. I’ll take care of it even if it takes a little time and more power. I’ll solve it, so don’t worry and think it’s nothing.”
“Huh. I will.”
The two hugged lightly. Leaning on his shoulder, Chae-kyung felt something warm in her heart, and she was relieved. Yi-yul is someone you can trust, and as she says, he only needs to be happy himself. He will solve all your problems.
After a short hug, Lee Yul wiped her tear-stained face with his hand. However, her make-up was already quite damaged, and the smudged eye make-up made her face a bit ridiculous. Chae-kyung asked Yi-yul as he smiled.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Your makeup is smudged. Wouldn’t it be better to wash your face and come back?”
Chaekyung blushed slightly from her embarrassment and went to her bathroom. As he said, her makeup was pretty messed up. After washing her face and putting on her makeup again, she turned around to leave her bathroom, and Lee Yul was watching her in front of her door.
“Why?”
“Because you’re pretty.”
Chae-kyung felt the same excitement as when she was with Jun-hyung at his clichéd expression. The face of Lee Yul, who has a very big difference in grade from Junhyung, who falls into the category of handsome enough, but she looks cool today.
“Hey, I’m going now.”
“Huh.”
As I was putting on my shoes at the entrance, Lee Yul came out to see me off. He said goodbye to Chae-kyung, who had put on his shoes and tidied up his clothes.
“Don’t think of bad things. Think only of the good things.”
“Okay.”
But she still had her back to the door. Approaching her puzzled Lee Yul, she lightly placed her hand on his shoulder and kissed her on the cheek.
“Thank you.”
Chaeyoung opened the door and stepped out. Looking at the front door slowly closing, Lee Yul had a clear feeling of victory.
On Friday evening before the weekend, I was on my way home from Yoon Jeong-i’s house today. Yesterday and today, Chae-gyeong, who suddenly felt unwell, did not come to school, and she refused to visit me because she did not want to appear sick. In the meantime, I had sex with her at her house, like her unbridled foal. I definitely felt incredibly guilty about cheating on my sick girlfriend, but on the other hand, I was even more aroused by her sense of immorality. Having become the adulterous couple they normally despise, I can understand why they fall for it.
Fortunately, Chae-gyeong was simply ill, so he promised to go on a date with her tomorrow. Since Yoon-jung has also made it clear that she will never contact her this weekend, she plans to thoroughly compensate Chae-kyung. She honestly wants to buy her a couple ring, but after spending a little too much money this month, it seems difficult, and I intend to commit myself to her tomorrow anyway.
As I approached my house while thinking about that, a car I hadn’t seen far away was parked in the direction of my house. It was quite far away, so it was hard to see who was riding, but the vehicle was certainly new to me. I wouldn’t know if it was a town, but the town where my house is located is so small that I have a rough idea of what kind of car goes to which house, even when a relative of that house visits. If it’s the first car I see in this neighborhood, it’s really an outsider’s car. Looking at that car like that, I felt that the silhouette of a person who could be seen at first glance was staring at this side. Why did you point it at my house? I squinted and tried to get a closer look, but it was so far away that with my eyesight I could only discern vague shapes inside the car.
But as I watched closely, I noticed something peculiar. The car was moving up and down little by little to see if it was stopped with the engine off. There’s no way to turn on the air conditioner in these days when the weather is getting chilly, so what the heck.
Then the cell phone vibrated. When I moved my gaze from the car to my phone, a message from Chae-kyung was floating on the screen.
– What time shall we meet tomorrow?
Hmm. Her mother went to the hospital tomorrow and she said that she would meet someone as it was, and her grandfather would come at least on Sunday, so if I go out, Junhee will be alone. I think it would be better after the sun has risen a bit.
– How about meeting around 11 o’clock and having lunch?
After sending the reply and waiting for a while, Chae-kyung’s answer came.
– Huh. I want to see you soon.
Me too. Obviously, the relationship with Yoon Jeong-i was enjoyable, but there is absolutely no substitute for Chae-kyung. It’s good that the two of them are together like a top and a bottom, but they’re not interchangeable. Most of all, Chae-gyeong’s chest is a big difference from hers Yoon-jeong’s… She was blankly thinking about her chest, but then suddenly remembered the car and turned her head. Perhaps it was my imagination that it was swaying, but the kick was as quiet as the mountain behind it, and there was no movement. Even people inside are not visible because of the darkened surroundings. People say they only see what they want to see, but I guess I was mistaken. I got out of the car and looked back at my phone, texted and went home.
