Chapter Index

    A hot and deep kiss.

    Did I overlook the time that passed relatively quickly due to the awkward but active movement of the tongue?

    “Oh my… .”

    My two overheated ears caught a small sound cleverly hidden in the noisy music.

    A familiar, confused voice.

    I feel a pair of eyes staring intently at the back of my head.

    It looks like Kim Eun-bi, who was dancing happily on stage, has finally returned.

    This is embarrassing.

    Unexpected things are happening one after another.

    First of all, I approached the woman in front of me with the intention of just making out with her, but I had no idea it would end up like this.

    “Seuuu… .”

    I slowly open my eyes and look at the woman’s face.

    He appears to be completely engrossed in the kiss with his eyes closed.

    Because of that, he didn’t seem to notice that his close friend was watching with interest as he passionately kissed a man he met for the first time at a club.

    Since the incident has already happened, how to resolve it becomes more important than regret.

    Ego.

    What should I do with this… .

    “Phhh… .”

    At the right time, he releases his tongue that was entangled with hers as if it were one body.

    Eventually, when the lips separate, a long string of saliva stretches between the lips, then snaps and disappears.

    The woman finally opens her eyes and looks here with a hazy gaze.

    What I feel is deep regret.

    “If you start on your own terms, shouldn’t it end when I want to?”

    In his voice, there is more irritation than regret.

    I barely held back from laughing at the cute protest asking why I started on my own and ended on my own.

    “Because the back of my head stings.”

    “The back of the head? ah… !”

    Only then did the woman’s eyes widen.

    The woman’s eyes widen as she spots Eunbi Kim standing behind me.

    “Right? “Your friend.”

    “… that’s right. Ah, Mr. “What a shame.”

    It’s just embarrassing.

    I showed my close friend a picture of me passionately kissing a man.

    That guy is even the first guy you met at the club?

    Wow.

    I lift her chin with my hand and look into her eyes as she lowers her face.

    “name.”

    She answers short questions as if she is possessed by something.

    “Ryu, Ryujin.”

    Is it a foreign name?

    “The kiss I had with you wasn’t bad.”

    “… what?”

    She gets upset when she is told that it wasn’t that bad.

    I felt bad because I was perfectly happy but the other person said it wasn’t that bad.

    He continues talking, paying no heed to such reactions.

    “My friend is here too, so I’ll leave the intruder out of the way.”

    “Uh, hey… !”

    When I tried to get up, she hurriedly stretched out her arm and grabbed my sleeve.

    “… “You’re going like this now?”

    Ryujin looks up at me with a face filled with complex emotions.

    “Be careful not to deepen the relationship you met at the club.”

    As he said that, he held onto her hand that was holding her sleeve, pulled it away, and lowered his upper body.

    “You never know if we meet by chance outside and reconnect again.”

    He whispers the last words into her ear as she recoils in surprise.

    “We might be able to do things together that cannot be compared to what we are doing now.”

    After giving a small wave to her with a blank expression, I turn my back without hesitation.

    And then I came face to face with another person.

    “uh… ?”

    Eunbi Kim makes a dumb voice and points at me with her index finger.

    Although I already know her identity, I also walk towards her with a slightly surprised expression to pretend that we met by chance.

    “Right? “The park then.”

    “Oh, yes, yes. Yes, that’s right.”

    Her voice, which she manages to answer, is very unstable.

    what… , It’s not that I don’t understand.

    I met a man again who I thought might be fate, but then I saw him kissing another woman, my best friend?

    Even if it were me, it would be absurd.

    He speaks cheerfully to the embarrassed girl.

    “They say we’re meant to be just by brushing each other’s collars, but this is already the second time we’ve met by chance.”

    “ah… , that’s right… “Is that so?”

    There are various proverbs about fate and fate.

    Even if you just brush by the collar, it’s a connection.

    If you pass by once, it’s coincidence, if you pass by twice, it’s fate, if you pass by three times, it’s fate.

    By saying it as a joke, I subtly let people know that our relationship is not normal.

    Of course, it’s all just an intentional result, but she doesn’t know that.

    “Oh, um, over there… , I was really thankful at that time!”

    Kim Eun-bi bows her head while saying thank you in a club with loud music playing.

    The expression on her face as she looks up is strange.

    “that… “Can I ask one question?”

    Before I could reply, he shook his head vigorously and held out two fingers.

    “Oh, no, not one, but two!”

    A voice full of charm.

    A natural charm that is incorporated into the person itself, rather than knowing and exploiting one’s own beauty.

    I think I understand why Jo Yoon-kyung feels strangely jealous of this woman.

    Unlike me, who has to make everything up to be good at it, I was probably envious of the fact that I was born with everything and showed the various charms I wanted with a natural attitude.

    “What are you curious about?”

    It’s not hard to ask.

    But I don’t know if I can answer that… , well.

    “Bah, I just kissed my friend… Did you do it?”

    Eunbi Kim’s face turns red and she utters the word “kiss” with difficulty.

    Ah, it’s just surprising and amazing that a 23-year-old woman can be so shy.

    Jo Yoon-kyung told me what stance I should take when seducing Kim Eun-bi.

    Bad Guy.

    A being that you are attracted to even though you know that it is dangerous and that you should not get close to it.

    But it seems like that has already passed.

    What I’m about to do now is more like a bad guy… , I think it’s closer to ‘bad guy’.

    So, let’s try being a charming badass.

    “ah… “Did you see it?”

    He seems a little embarrassed, but answers in a confident manner.

    Actually, I’m not going to kneel down.

    It’s not like I’m having a relationship with the woman in front of me, I’ve only met her twice now.

    “I was chatting with a friend for a while, and we ended up liking each other.”

    “Well, then this is the first time we’ve met… ?”

    “Is that the second question?”

    “Ahh… , Oh no! Cancel this!”

    She waves her hands in embarrassment.

    Everything she does when she’s embarrassed is addictive.

    I keep wanting to tease you.

    She, who was struggling, catches her breath.

    A slightly calmer voice delivers the real second question.

    “name… , can you tell me?”

    Same question as last time.

    I thought about it for a while.

    Can I tell you my name this time?

    But then he shook his head and took a step closer to her.

    Ryujin is watching from behind, making me even more curious about what she is doing.

    At the same time, he lowers his head and looks down at Kim Eun-bi, who is relaxed and nervous.

    “Did I tell you earlier?”

    “W-what… ?”

    “Today is also the second time we are meeting.”

    “yes… .”

    “The first time we pass is coincidence, the second time we pass by fate, the third time we pass by… .”

    Let’s stop talking.

    “Ooh, fate.”

    She continues my words with a slightly more excited expression.

    It seems like the scene where Ryujin and I were kissing a little while ago was blown out of my head.

    “If we are destined, we will meet for the third time.”

    you will meet

    She would think it was fate, and I would accept it as an effect of cause.

    Well, either way.

    As long as we like each other, that’s enough.

    “The full statement will be made at that time.”

    In the end, even on their second meeting, he passes by her, keeping his name a secret.

    But I haven’t heard anything from Jo Yun-kyung about how we met for the third time.

    Well, I guess they’ll figure it out.

    * * *

    A heavy silence fell.

    Despite the loud music, the two felt a sense of silence.

    It’s awkward and awkward.

    So much so that I have no idea what to say.

    Since we have never been at a loss for words since we first met, the awkwardness seems to be even more intense.

    We all know each other’s personalities well.

    Therefore, Ryujin knows that Kim Eunbi will need twice as much time as the time she has just spent before she can say anything.

    I broke the silence by taking a gulp of the alcohol made according to the method he had shown me a while ago.

    “Are you acquainted with the man from earlier?”

    “Uh, huh? Yes… , well. As far as I know… .”

    “say it. “How did you meet him?”

    When she asked, Eunbi Kim, who had been hesitant, carefully opened her mouth.

    “You know… .”

    Ryujin frowned as an incident that happened to her a few days ago that she had not yet mentioned was brought up.

    “Hey, how can you go through something like that and not say a word to me!”

    “S-sorry. I’m afraid you’ll be worried… .”

    “Of course I’m worried, Chingunde!”

    “Hehe, yes. yes.”

    She laughs heartily as she feels a deep affection for the word ‘friend’ that she shouts out in anger.

    “… Anyway, the person who saved you back then was that man?”

    “huh.”

    “Ha, that’s really strange.”

    The man I first opened my heart to at the club could not have been the benefactor who saved my best friend.

    Even if we are intertwined, can we still be intertwined like this?

    Ryujin’s face becomes more depressed as she looks sideways at Kim Eunbi with a gaze filled with complex emotions.

    ‘He even seems to have feelings.’

    You can tell just by looking at that shy expression when thinking of the man.

    Isn’t this the situation she was so looking forward to, as she had always hoped for a fateful meeting?

    I don’t know, but it’s clear that I have a great interest in him.

    Suddenly I started to feel like I had committed a big sin.

    ‘Did you catch me kissing that guy in front of that girl? Oh really… !’

    Of course, I did this without any knowledge of the true circumstances, but now that I know, I feel guilty for no reason.

    Is this why they say that sometimes ignorance is medicine?

    At that time, when I was feeling sick and gulping down alcohol, Eunbi Kim spoke carefully.

    “Jin… .”

    “Uh, huh? why?”

    “Oh, I was talking about earlier. With that person… , that, key, kiss… “You did it, right?”

    It finally came.

    With a red face, she lowered her head and muttered in a quiet voice.

    “… uh.”

    I wish there was a rat hole in the club.

    So that you can at least put your face in it.

    “if… Hey, I like that person… ?”

    To the question Eunbi Kim had a hard time asking.

    “Oh, no? It’s just that I got drunk a little faster than usual, and I was a little drunk in the mood, so I didn’t like it… ! “Where is something like that that I saw briefly at the club?!”

    “Yeah, yeah… ? Hehe, I’m glad… .”

    Looking at Eunbi Kim, who was heartbroken and happy at the excuse that didn’t seem like her own.

    She desperately hoped that the words I said were sincere.
