Chapter 581 – Awkward Atmosphere
I glance at Han Ye-ryeong, who is sitting in the passenger seat and looking awkwardly ahead.
‘I think I’m prettier than before…’
Perhaps it was because it had been a while since I had seen her properly dressed up, or maybe she had become more mature over time, but she looked more attractive than before.
As I glanced at Ye-ryeong, who was much more attractive than when I dated her, I soon checked the clothes she was wearing today.
Her dark blue H skirt that matched her well, and her wide and thin hips greatly enhanced her sexy charm.
‘I never thought you would come wearing a skirt.’
Honestly, I expected Han Ye-ryeong to come out wearing pants today.
It was because I didn’t know what I would do if he came wearing clothes that appealed to his body.
No matter how much she signed a contract, she doesn’t really know what happens if she doesn’t keep her contract.
Of course, I had no intention of touching even a single hair of this person unless I wanted to.
Still, I didn’t expect to wear clothes that accentuated my body, but it felt surprising to see me wearing a short H skirt and transparent black stockings.
He came wearing a white top that was tight to his body, and the black underwear he was wearing was clearly visible.
It looked so pretty that it could be said that it suited Han Ye-ryeong well, as the part of her chest that wasn’t covered by underwear was slightly visible.
On top, simple black padding was worn to match well with the stockings.
I thought I had prepared well since she was dressed in a way that showed she had put some care into it.
‘Let’s not think about anything else.’
I was a little annoyed by Han Ye-ryeong’s body after a long time, but I don’t think about that today.
It’s just a place to meet and end things while doing something you’ve always wanted to do.
There is a choice to meet again and a choice to never meet again, but I decided not to worry about that.
Just like when you were dating her, you meet her normally and spend time with her with the mindset of being her date.
Since I had no intention of doing anything special, I said I would look ahead and set off.
“You haven’t eaten lunch yet, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go eat lunch first.”
“Yes.”
I tried to talk briefly to get rid of the awkwardness that filled the car, but I only got a short answer.
I drove the car thinking she was just there for a formal date like me.
————————
Before getting into Lee Jin-seok’s car, Han Ye-ryeong, who arrived at the meeting place 10 minutes before the scheduled time as she always did, was in a different mood than usual.
‘It’s strange…’
I have to go right now and show my usual self, but something bothers me.
The thought of him and her dating again makes her feel tingly and uncomfortable.
So, Ye-ryeong Han found Jin-seok Lee’s car, but couldn’t go there right away. She touches her hair or checks out what she is wearing today while looking at herself outside the window of her building.
‘Is it okay?’
Today is a day that feels like a farewell trip. A meeting where we meet and briefly sort out each other’s feelings.
She looked up breakup trips on the Internet, and she saw that she just had to meet up and talk like normal.
But that doesn’t work. Breakup trips are usually done by couples who have just broken up.
I couldn’t help but feel nervous at the thought of meeting again after breaking up for half a year due to bad things.
‘Nothing looks strange, right?’
The same goes for clothing. She originally planned to wear it comfortably, like she always did, but she ended up dressing it up a lot.
Unlike when she usually met her friends, she put on a lot of makeup and her clothes also matched Lee Jin-seok’s taste.
In addition to the short skirt and transparent black stockings that he always liked, he also wore tight clothes that made his chest stand out.
He didn’t intend to dress like this, but when he thought he was meeting Lee Jin-seok, he automatically did so.
Still, he didn’t hate dressing like this. Now that I’m meeting him who has almost made up his mind, is it a bad thing to wear clothes that I like?
In Ye-ryeong Han’s mind, she thought she wasn’t bad and just came out as she dressed.
‘I have to go in now…’
Unless something happened at the scheduled time, she was never late. With about two minutes left, she nervously approached the car she had seen earlier.
-Gulp
As I stand in front of the passenger seat, I automatically swallow a lot of saliva. Now all I have to do is go in, but I’m worried about everything.
Her hair must have been done well, her makeup must have been erased, and her clothes must have been neatly dressed. Etc.
We’re not dating, and I didn’t think much about today’s meeting, so why am I worried?
With her unknown mind, Han Ye-ryeong, who opened the passenger seat door and got in, could not look at him sitting in the driver’s seat.
“Hello.”
She gives a formal greeting while looking straight ahead, without even looking at the other person.
Because if she looked at his face, she wouldn’t be able to get the right words out.
‘Why are you doing this?’
All you have to do is face her face and have a comfortable conversation like the last time we talked.
No, now that I think about it again, it would be impossible to have a comfortable conversation. Still, there was no difficulty in seeing each other face to face.
But.
Nowadays, it is difficult to even face each other properly. It wasn’t really difficult, but it was difficult.
When you are trying to calm down as much as possible and have a conversation with composure.
-Glance
I can feel Jinseok Lee’s eyes looking at me. You might think he didn’t know, but Han Ye-ryeong, who is sensitive to gaze, was able to notice everything even if he quickly looked away.
‘Is there anything strange?’
It’s getting on my nerves because he keeps glancing at me without saying a word. Still, she didn’t feel like saying anything, so she didn’t say anything.
As the awkward silence continued, Lee Jin-seok’s gaze was withdrawn, and a suggestion was made to go to lunch.
Normally, she would have asked questions such as what she was going to eat, but as long as her mouth did not drop, Ye-ryeong only gave a short answer.
‘This is not polite. Wouldn’t it make you feel bad?’
She wanted to talk casually like Lee Jin-seok, but she wasn’t good at that.
When she tried to open her mouth to say something, she couldn’t give a proper answer as if she had been glued together.
Normally, when men approach me, I just give a short answer, but now that I have him in front of me, I’m constantly worried.
I don’t know my own mind either. Even though she thought she had everything sorted out, Ye-ryeong Han went to have lunch with Jin-seok Lee, still feeling anxious.
——————————-
When she arrived at the restaurant she had reserved in advance, she parked her car and took a seat.
Han Ye-ryeong and I didn’t say a single word while driving here.
Even if I tried to speak up, I only got a short answer, so it was difficult for me to open my mouth because I felt like he didn’t like what I was talking to.
If you use [Her Sexual Eyes], You can read her mind right away, but you can’t read it since you won’t be able to use her ability on her anymore.
Besides, it was our last time meeting, and I didn’t want to read her mind and continue the conversation the way I was comfortable.
‘I guess I asked to meet you for no reason.’
Even though we ordered each other’s favorite food and ate, we didn’t say a word.
If we needed anything along the way, we just ordered it individually and even left the room for a moment when we went to the bathroom.
If this was going to be the case, I think it would have been better to end everything a week ago instead of meeting.
Is it really meaningful when we feel awkward with each other and can’t even talk properly?
‘We will never meet again.’
It’s been an hour since we met, and our proper conversation ended after we asked each other to go out to lunch.
To be honest, that wasn’t a proper conversation either. Normally, Han Ye-ryeong would ask me what I eat and would only give me a short answer.
Something makes me feel frustrated. I wasn’t planning on meeting for this, but since it was so uncomfortable for both of us, I thought I’d just end it here.
Not being able to see each other again was something Joo-eun couldn’t do, but it was hard to talk to her, so what else could she do?
After contemplating alone while she was eating, I asked her when I finished paying and entering her car.
“Should we break up like this today?”
“Huh…?”
“I think you’re uncomfortable too, and I think it’s right to just break up.”
“…”
Even though it is obvious that he is constantly uncomfortable, he is not the kind of person who is so oblivious that he just goes ahead with his plan.
We met again to sort out our feelings, but I wondered if there was any need to meet again like this.
So I said that, and one person who had never met my face turned her head and said.
“That’s not possible.”
I still can’t look myself in the eye properly. If you try to make eye contact, he will avoid it and if you look him in the eye again, he seems burdened.
It was obvious that I was overdoing things just by looking at it. When I saw that, I became even more determined.
‘This can’t be done.’
I’m not so trash that I force the other person to meet me even though they don’t want to.
It may have been like that in the past, but I no longer wanted to do that to Han Ye-ryeong.
I don’t know why she was overdoing it, but I thought it was because of Lee Joo-eun.
A long-time friend said something like that, so it must be bothering you that you can’t refuse.
Deciding that it might be enough, I decided to turn around in her car, which was heading to her aquarium, and take her home.
‘It can’t be helped.’
If she is forcing herself to meet me because of what Lee Joo-eun said, there is no need for her.
In the first place, it was her personal greed, and she did not want to see Han Ye-ryeong suffer because of that.
“Let’s go back, I’ll take you to her house.”
“Ah…”
When I tell her that I will take her home and try to turn her car around, I hear a sad sound coming from the woman sitting next to her.
She seemed worried about Lee Joo-eun, so I told her that she didn’t have to worry about it to ease her worries.
“You don’t have to worry about what Jooeun says, I’ll take care of it myself.”
When she tried to change lanes to turn her car in the direction of Ye-ryeong’s house.
“It’s not like that!”
“Yeryeong…?”
As she continued to answer quietly, a loud sound came out of her mouth, and I reflexively turned my head to look at her.
“Ah… I’m sorry for shouting out loud…”
When I turned my head, Ye-ryeong Han, who caught my gaze, was surprised and lowered her head while apologizing.
I thought it was because of Lee Joo-eun, but when she said no, I asked again.
“You really don’t have to worry, it’s a pity, but I’ll take care of it.”
“No… That’s not it…”
Then, Ye-ryeong shakes her head as if it is not true and repeats what she said.
Frustrated. She couldn’t help but feel more frustrated because the girl who was so blunt didn’t even give a proper reason and just said she didn’t, and she couldn’t read his mind.
Still, I just held on, having made up my mind that I would not use her powers against her anymore.
‘Why are you doing this?’
I didn’t think that Ye-ryeong wanted to meet me again or that she was just shy.
At first, I thought it was just because she was uncomfortable in this situation, but I was shocked by Han Ye-ryeong’s next words.
“It’s not because of Joo-eun, me too… I want to speak properly too… But the words don’t come out properly…”
“Isn’t it because it’s uncomfortable?”
“That’s not it… It’s just… I don’t know what to say…”
“Then is it okay if we move on as originally planned?”
“Yeah… I’m sorry…”
“No, you have absolutely nothing to be sorry for.”
It’s not because of Lee Joo-eun, nor is it uncomfortable. It’s just that words don’t come out well.
After hearing her words, I stopped walking home and turned the car back toward the aquarium.
It’s not because it’s uncomfortable. It’s not because of Lee Joo-eun. So what is the reason?
It’s frustrating, but I say no and the meeting continues like this.
Even if I glanced at Han Ye-ryeong’s face while moving, she had a look on her face that didn’t know what to do.
I didn’t know why she was doing that, so I had no choice but to do what she wanted.
