Chapter 78 – Return to School
In the late evening when Soo-jeong and Ji-woo left, I and Hyun-i Lee walked down the street without saying a word.
Let’s just walk on the road in silence without saying a word to each other.
Park Yi-hyeon recalled what had happened with him until now.
———–
At first, I just thought there was such a handsome person.
Since her childhood, she has not been very interested in others, and even if she sees her opposite sex, she is not thought of as a love object for her.
No. Before that, I couldn’t understand why people were dating.
They say they like each other and love each other, but I couldn’t understand that such feelings could arise with someone else, unless it was a family member.
A few years to think so, she received her first confession since she was born.
My opponent is Gi Myung-ha, whom we met often in high school and became quite close with.
After she became an adult, she accepted her confession and was curious about her relationship.
She wondered if she could feel the love others were talking about, but then she realized that she had three legs instead of two.
She saved the contact information of other female friends on her cell phone and let them know.
When she tried to send her a message to break up with him, the answer came that she wanted to get revenge on other girlfriends.
She had no idea at first, but when she heard what others were saying, she made good enough sense that she joined too.
She happened to meet a school senior she knew and the day she first met a person named Lee Jin-seok, she thought it was this person.
She said, ‘She’d hurt her pride if I told her to meet someone better-looking than she is.’
When she approached the timing of breaking up with her senior and sent her contact information, the senior contacted her right away that evening.
After that, when I told him my story, he readily accepted the request and even went on a date the next day saying that he was acting boyfriend.
The date with Lee Jin-seok was fun.
Unlike the dry date with Ki Myung-hwa, whom I met a few times after dating.
Her date with him gave her a sense of her many emotions.
She watched her horror movies with him, which she couldn’t watch herself, and she could watch them through to the end.
When she signed up, she won overwhelmingly and was able to play a boring game of darts fiercely with similar skills.
He could get what he could not get.
With him, she felt confident that he could do anything.
‘It’s fun being together, it’s different from Ki Myung-ha, it’s reassuring when we’re together.’
The charm of an older person that she couldn’t feel in Ki Myung-ha, who was the same age as her, touched her heart quite greatly.
She, who had never held expectations from anyone except her family all her life, first came to feel the need to lean on him.
What new things can she show herself.
What new things can you tell us?
Was he happy the day he went on a date with you?
When he had such expectations, he showed a different side of himself on the day he broke up with Ki Myung-ha.
The appearance of a tough man who subdues the man who speaks abusively to himself at once.
Another way to comfort yourself after a breakup.
It wasn’t very difficult, but he even said weak things to him who was trustworthy without even realizing it.
After that day, she became very interested in a man named Lee Jin-seok.
A man named Lee Jin-seok, who always thought of his family and himself, took a place in his heart.
‘What should a senior do?’
After that day, she wondered what he was going to do today.
I was worried if he had eaten well.
However, having not paid attention to others all her life, she still did not know what that feeling was.
———————-
“Does your brother have a favorite hobby?”
As we were walking to digest without saying a word to each other, Park Yi-hyeon asked me about my hobbies out of the blue.
“I like to play games.”
“A game?”
“Yeah, Lee Hyun, what is your favorite hobby?”
She asked in reverse, afraid that she would dig into the details of my favorite game.
“I like spending time alone.”
“What do you mainly do?”
“Looking at your phone, reading a book, or taking a walk.”
As she continued her conversation, changing her subject with each other, I turned her gaze to her and saw her hands trembling slightly.
It was March, not long after winter, so the weather was chilly.
I took off the cardigan she was wearing and put it over her shoulder.
“I think this is enough to digest, so shall we go for a drink soon?”
I was talking to me suddenly, but when I covered her cardigan, she stopped on the spot and continued her words with her face turning red as if it was cold.
“Yeah.”
While I was contemplating where to drink, Park Yi-hyeon tightly gripped the cardigan her senior had covered.
‘It’s warm…’
The warmth rising from the senior wearing it until just now.
His body scent mixed with the scent of fabric softener.
It all came close to her.
When Park Yi-hyeon was engrossed in the cardigan Lee Jin-seok gave him, Lee Jin-seok, who had decided on a destination, started talking to him.
“Shall we go here?”
“Yeah?”
She asked if she was thinking about something else for a moment.
“There’s a bar where we can have a quick meal right in front of us. Shall we go there?”
“Ah… Yes, I like it.”
Arriving at the bar I mentioned, we sat down and ordered snacks and drinks.
While sitting with her Park Yi-hyeon and waiting for her drink, I asked her what I was curious about.
“Have you contacted him?”
“No, I blocked him the day we broke up.”
“Well done.”
Luckily, when I was satisfied that he wasn’t flirting, Park Yi-hyeon added an additional word.
“I heard that others have been contacted.”
“What did you say?”
When I asked if I could feel her happy popcorn just by looking at her, she opened her cell phone and showed me the contents of her conversation.
The first part of the story started off with saying sorry, and it was plastered with clichés like I can never forget you and you are the best.
The funny thing is that I copied the same thing I sent to one person and sent it to the other person as well.
‘Is this bastard really an asshole?’
If everyone knew that they had cheated on each other, they would have had at least contact information, but would they send copy-pasted content in that situation?
This was the level of living without thinking.
I thought for a moment about the guy who could see her tough military life at a glance, and I handed her her cell phone and said.
“Were you such a poor guy in the first place?”
“I was pretty popular with the girls in high school.”
“Is he?”
“Yes, there were kids who liked me for being tall and having a good face.”
‘Is it okay if I’m handsome even if I’m an idiot?’
When I first met him, I remembered that he looked pretty even considering his shaved head, so I thought that his looks were the best.
Worried that if it was any longer, the atmosphere would not improve, so I roughly decided to cut it off here and move on to another topic.
“Ah! Come to think of it, did you register for the course this time?”
“No… This time it’s ruined.”
As soon as he heard about the course registration, Park Yi-hyun’s face, which had remained expressionless even towards her boyfriend until just now, became sullen in an instant.
“How much did you miss?”
“I missed all but one…”
When I registered for classes, no matter how popular the classes were, I could only take two or three classes, but the competition seemed quite fierce.
“Are these highly competitive classes?”
“Yeah…Last year, it was so hard because I chose the wrong class, so I tried to apply for a comfortable one this time, but all failed.”
After thinking about her sullen expression for a while, I asked if there were overlapping cultures, though different from hers.
“Have you applied for any lectures for liberal arts?”
“That psychology second language computer.”
“Uh? I also listen to psychology.”
“Can you hear me too?”
“Yes.”
Park Yi-hyeon, who had been sullen at the word that he had overlapping culture with me, suddenly brightened.
Fortunately, she succeeded in reversing her mood, and by the time they were having a conversation while drinking her alcohol and snacks, Park Yi-hyeon’s eyes began to loosen, as if she was getting drunk.
“Lee Hyun-ah, should we stop drinking now?”
“Yeah… I want to ask you something, but I’ll ask you this.”
“What?”
Park Yi-hyun, head bowed down, asked me if it was difficult to control her body because of the drunkenness.
“You said your brother doesn’t have a girlfriend. What is your ideal type?”
She was briefly taken aback by the sudden question about her ideal type, but regained her senses and thought about how to answer.
‘Should I talk about my usual ideal type or the disguised ideal type…’
If the person who asked the question erases Hanul, she will of course say that she is a pretty woman with her breasts and her ass full.
She said that it would be a good idea to talk to her, whom she had only just known and whom she was not very close to.
“I like a girl who is tall and has a good personality.”
“What about the face?”
“As long as the face is not too ugly, it doesn’t matter.”
“The standards are too vague…”
“That’s what the original ideal type is all about, let’s get up now.”
I got up from her seat, wrapped her shoulders around my cardigan, and helped her walk, finished her checkout, and left her shop.
“I’ll get you a taxi, so you can take a ride?”
“… Yeah.”
‘Was it obvious…?’
He didn’t want to break up with Lee Jin-seok yet, but Park Yi-hyeon, who had no more questions to ask him, spoke in a tone full of regret without even realizing it.
Fortunately, Lee Jin-seok saw her off by speaking plainly, as if he hadn’t understood her because he was hailing a taxi.
“Today was fun, see you next time.”
“Yeah. Brother, please go in carefully.”
“Good bye.”
After sending the last remaining Park Yi-hyeon in a taxi late at night, he went back to school to find her car and called the assistant manager to arrive home.
When I got home, I wasn’t drunk, but I was tired from playing outside late for the first time in a long time.
“Ah…This is why the insiders can’t understand.”
After saying a word to the people who were hanging out with friends all day, I went into the shower room, washed up, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
[Sick…]
Without hearing the sound of the system resonating in my head.
