Chapter Index

    . 7 PM, Hongdae Entrance Station.

    The message sent by Seo Woo-jin contained a very familiar station name.

    Even though there are more things to see in Seoul than in other regions, the places where you usually meet friends are narrowed down to about three or four places.

    Therefore, this place, which was chosen as the meeting place, was also a place that I used to the point of getting tired of it whenever I hung out with friends without a specific purpose.

    “…….”

    Right.

    The probability of running into my friends by chance.

    It was a very high place.

    596

    I heard that Seo Woo-jin seemed to want to create someone’s ‘sighting’.

    A sighting like Dabin is with the school nurse somewhere…

    Contrary to hiding our relationship for almost half a year, it was an act no different from revealing it to the world.

    However, I could understand why Seo Woo-jin was trying to do this, even without a rough explanation.

    …It seems that rumors about me have spread properly here and there.

    If it were me at times like this.

    If I were with another man at times like this.

    Naturally, an overwhelming amount of attention would be poured on me, right?

    So, I could understand up to this point.

    However, there was only one thing that bothered me…

    “It’s okay. Baek Seo-yeon will be here soon, too.”

    The point was that if I were alone with you as soon as the rumors spread, wouldn’t that roll around and turn into bad rumors?

    Seo Woo-jin, who I met at the subway station, started talking about Senior Seo-yeon as if he had naturally thought about it.

    Well, Senior Seo-yeon, who gives off the impression of being thorough in both public and private matters. And Seo Woo-jin, who wears a mask of being kind, at least on the outside.

    If it were these two people, I guess people would think they gathered to comfort me.

    …Who would think that the two of them are people who worked hard to squeeze out semen from each other?

    Senior Seo-yeon, who frequently visited the nurse’s office at the end of the semester, seemed to be noticed by almost no one other than me, unexpectedly.

    “Haa…. Then should I just wait here?”

    “Yeah. I told her it’s in front of the bathroom near Exit 2.”

    “Bathroom….”

    As an aside, when I meet Seo Woo-jin in a downtown area, I don’t wear a mask, hat, or even glasses, so I don’t know where to put my eyes because of the awkwardness.

    I feel like the gazes of other people passing by are also pouring in this direction.

    While waiting with Seo Woo-jin without saying a word in that state, a person who stood out noticeably in the crowd approached us before long.

    …Of course, it’s Senior Seo-yeon.

    Should I call it an office look…?

    Senior Seo-yeon, who is not in the school uniform I’ve always seen.

    Unlike me, who still looks like a student, I couldn’t help but pay attention to her appearance, which was a bit more like a working adult.

    “Did you come straight after work?”

    “Things have been coming up more often than I thought. That’s why I contacted you to say I’d be a little late.”

    “I didn’t know you’d come without even having time to rest at home. If I had known this would happen, I would have called Yozora instead.”

    “It’s okay. I’ll be much better than Yozora for showing off to others. …And I missed you a little, too.”

    “…….”

    “…Ah, anyway, didn’t you tell me to go to a cafe instead of waiting like this last time?”

    “It’ll be troublesome if you run into Seol Da-bin’s friend. It’s easier to explain waiting for someone like this than being alone in a cafe.”

    “…Well, I guess so.”

    A senior with cold eyes and a condescending gaze was very natural, but when she looked up at Seo Woo-jin, only honey dripped from her eyes.

    Even though she knows about Ha-yoon’s existence, and she knows the other sex partners ‘too’, it’s easy to understand if I say the atmosphere is as if she doesn’t care at all.

    I really don’t know if it’s just because she feels good having sex with Seo Woo-jin, or if there are many special stories between the two that I haven’t heard yet…

    While various thoughts were sprouting, the senior’s gaze, which had been directed at Seo Woo-jin, briefly turned to me.

    “…….”

    “……?”

    Just for a very short moment, literally.

    After just looking me up and down, she looked up at Seo Woo-jin again and started talking about this and that.

    “…….”

    …Something, that, jealousy…?

    I also feel like I’m being subtly kept in check…

    No, but if you’re as pretty as Senior Seo-yeon, there’s no need to keep someone in check…

    Didn’t I feel something similar to this when we had sex together last time…?

    Actions like comparing the amount of semen squeezed out at the end of sex…

    I remember asking Seo Woo-jin if he felt good a lot…

    Hmm….

    …….

    …Eh.

    Still, it’s unlikely that the senior would go that far…

    No way….

    *****

    – Hey, Da-bin is in Hongdae right now?

    – And with the senior who was the student council president last year…

    – With the school nurse?

    The first start was from a mysterious sighting that came from her while I was on my way to Hongdae to meet a friend.

    If it were normal times, I could have just passed it by, but recently, I’ve been hearing rumors about Da-bin, so my friend and I couldn’t help but pay more attention to it.

    Of course, it doesn’t mean I paid attention in a weird way.

    If it’s the student council president who’s right next to her, she’s the source of the rumors in the first place.

    If it’s the school nurse, she’s just famous for being extremely kind and friendly.

    If the school nurse and Da-bin had met alone, I would have said ‘Oh, I don’t think so~’ but I would have had all sorts of thoughts in my mind, but fortunately, she said she was with the student council president.

    In other words, even if you think about it for 0.1 seconds, you can know that it’s a meeting to comfort Da-bin.

    “…Is it real?”

    “Do you think I’d be lying about something like this?”

    Apart from knowing it, I secretly followed the three people out of personal curiosity.

    Anyway, I knew it.

    I also knew that they were just going to say words of comfort and break up.

    I also knew that they would probably go to a restaurant or cafe since it’s dinner time.

    I also knew that they would spend time and break up without anything happening.

    Isn’t it a very natural thing?

    “Have Da-bin and those two been walking around like this?”

    “I first saw them at a cafe… After that, they’re just taking a walk.”

    “How did you see them in the cafe?”

    “How did I see them? They were just sitting on the first floor openly? I happened to see them while ordering.”

    “Aha.”

    Right. Of course.

    It’s not like those three are meeting secretly to avoid other people’s eyes, so what’s so strange about being confident?

    So, the strange one is probably me.

    Following those three around like this right now.

    …Because of a very embarrassing reason to tell other people.

    “By the way, how did Da-bin become friends with the school nurse? She hasn’t been injured that much, has she?”

    “She went on a double date with Ha-yoon to a pension. I think I heard that story at least three times in the group chat.”

    “So that’s why they’re so close…?”

    “Plus, the boyfriends know each other too. I guess they broke up recently and that’s why they’re comforting her like this?”

    The question I brought up casually was the same.

    It was a story I brought up meaning that something was a bit strange, but it didn’t seem like my friend saw it that way at all.

    Da-bin, who broke up with her longtime childhood friend.

    The student council president, who is close to such Da-bin.

    And the school nurse, who is also close and even praised for being kind.

    What’s so strange about these three walking around together?

    The strange one is definitely myself.

    “…….”

    Da-bin, who doesn’t usually dress up well.

    She doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing so either.

    Sometimes she even comes to meet her friends in training clothes,

    Dressed like a girl at last.

    Hesitantly.

    Walking with the school nurse.

    Why are you thinking strangely about this?

    Right?

    So, let’s stop following her around.

    It’s also a bad thing to do to Da-bin, and to the teacher.

    It’s also a bad thing to do to Ha-yoon.

    “Oh, they suddenly went inside to the side?”

    “…Is there a famous restaurant or something over there?”

    “I don’t know. At least the spicy stir-fried chicken… is next to it. Isn’t that just an alleyway?”

    “Hmm….”

    Just as I was saying that.

    The three people disappeared into a dark alleyway.

    …Just this one last time, really.

    I followed them thinking that I would just check where they went.

    “……I told you it’s not this way. The place we went to last time is further down…”

    “…Huh?”

    “……?”

    Because I ran into the three people who were coming back the other way as if they had taken the wrong turn.

    …After a moment of silence.

    In the end, I was the first one.

    I greeted them, trying to hide my surprised feelings.

    “W-what. Da-bin? Meeting you in a place like this? Ahaha….”

    “…Ah, um. It’s been a while. Haven’t we not been able to meet during the vacation?”

    “Y-yeah, that’s right.”

    For a moment, I bit my tongue and closed my eyes tightly in my mind because of the awkwardness.

    Right next to Da-bin, I saw the teacher covering her mouth slightly and asking if she was a friend.

    And even Da-bin nodding her head.

    Meanwhile, the student council president next to her was just looking at our faces, without doing anything special.

    The only things that bothered me were…

    …She’s really damn pretty when I see her outside, and

    For some reason, she seems to be subtly close to the school nurse.

    “It’s amazing that we’re meeting in a place like this. Nice to meet you. I’m sorry, but it’s hard for me to memorize all the students’ faces….”

    “No, it’s okay. So many students get hurt and come to the nurse’s office every day. I understand…. Yes….”

    “Did you come to hang out with your friend?”

    “Th-that’s right! Just to hang out….”

    “I see. …Um, it’s fate, so I’ll treat you to dinner nearby….”

    “N-no, it’s okay. We already ate dinner! …Right?”

    “…Ah, yeah. Right.”

    “That’s too bad. If there’s another chance next time….”

    But well, it was just a level that could happen.

    It’s not particularly strange if you say they’re close….

    A feeling that falls into the category of ‘pretty close’.

    So, I awkwardly smiled and averted my gaze, somehow swallowing the words hunting pub, which was today’s destination, and said goodbye.

    Fortunately, the three people didn’t seem to be interested in us, and they received our greetings and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

    “…….”

    I didn’t really think that this would become the fourth story of the ‘Seol Da-bin sighting’ that was sporadically uploaded to the group chat tonight.
