Chapter Index

    Whatever it was, Choi Jin-ah ended up staying in my room with me.

    I thought I could just go to Yoo Ah-rin’s house, but if I think about it, I’ll have to go outside in the end.

    Actually, when I looked outside, there were people waiting in black suits.

    For now, it seemed like it would be best for Choi Jin-ah not to go out.

    “Mom, I think I’ll sleep at my friend’s house. Who is it? It’s Seo Lee. We have a supervisor.”

    So, naturally, Yoo Ah-rin had no choice but to join.

    I can’t just let it be if another woman is sleeping in my boyfriend’s room.

    Even though it’s a dormitory, wouldn’t it be okay if they didn’t catch me?

    In reality, there were quite a few guys who brought their girlfriends over and made them sleep over.

    “Yeah, okay. No, what are you talking about? Hang up.”

    As soon as Yoo Ah-rin hung up the phone, her expression darkened.

    “Ugh, I think I’m going to throw up.”

    It seemed a bit strange to react like that after talking to your parents.

    After hearing the aftermath, I understand a little better.

    “I’m not here so I’m happy we can spend time together as a couple.”

    “… … You two are very happy together. I heard you were traveling a lot last time too.”

    “He said I had no intention of becoming independent. I’m really scared that I’ll end up with a younger sibling who’s 20 years younger than me.”

    That might be a little scary.

    I can’t even imagine my mom and dad doing something like that, and I don’t want to imagine it.

    “You seem to have a very good relationship with your parents.”

    Choi Jin-ah looks amazed while sitting on a blanket spread on the floor.

    Thanks to the carrier, I had changed into my pajamas.

    “Well, it’s not bad.”

    Yoo Ah-rin, who had vaguely heard about Choi Jin-ah’s family history, answered awkwardly.

    Although Yoo Ah-rin’s parents were a bit excessive, I still thought they were an ideal family.

    When I went home last time, it was a little better than the average in South Korea?

    Although it may not be abundant, I would say it is not lacking.

    “Are you jealous?”

    When Yoo Ah-rin glanced at Choi Jin-ah and asked, she answered awkwardly, scratching the bottom of the blanket.

    “Well, I don’t really know. I can’t even imagine having a conversation like that with my parents.”

    A harmonious scene doesn’t come to mind at all.

    That’s a pretty sad thing in its own right, isn’t it?

    “I think I need to get out of my passive life. Then something will change.”

    Choi Jin-ah clenches her fists and makes a pledge. Suddenly, she became curious about something.

    “How is your mother?”

    I’ve met my father’s side, but I’ve never heard of my mother’s side.

    “My mother and I live separately. It was a political marriage, so they haven’t seen each other since I was born.”

    “… … .”

    Yoo Ah-rin glares at me and asks, “Why did you ask?”

    “Should I have some beer with chicken? I can’t leave here anyway.”

    “Can I order chicken at this time?”

    Because it is a dormitory, food delivery is somewhat limited.

    “Or how about the person who lost the bet buy it?”

    When I made the suggestion, Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Jin-ah stared at me intently.

    “Jin-ah can’t go out.”

    However, Yoo Ah-rin’s firm determination not to leave Choi Jin-ah and herself alone.

    Now that I think about it, I guess I’m the only one who can go…

    “Just don’t eat it.”

    The two of them tried to put it off because it was annoying, but they felt regretful because they had already talked about chicken.

    Finally, I went out to buy chicken.

    There are a lot of chicken places around here once I graduate from college, so I’m thinking of ordering some to-go in advance, putting it in my bag, and sneaking it in.

    ‘I’m saying that going to college is a hassle.’

    I really hate things like this when I live in a dorm.

    The university is so big that it takes ages to get out, so it feels like a very long walk from the shoe rack to the front door.

    The men in black suits who had been watching Jin-ah glared at me as I came out.

    I guess you already expected me to bring Choi Jin-ah with me.

    “Oh my, you guys are having a hard time.”

    “… … .”

    “Can I buy you a drink when you come? Since you’re going to sleep in the dorm anyway, just give up.”

    Since he can’t do anything to me anyway, he’s just going to tease me and leave.

    “Woojin!”

    Senior Joohee’s voice was heard from behind.

    My senior came to me in his workout clothes, sweating profusely, as if he had been working out.

    “Senior? Do you jog at this time?”

    “Yeah, if you run like this and study a bit, you’ll be able to concentrate better.”

    “That’s amazing.”

    “Where are you going?”

    “I’m going to buy chicken. Would you like to eat with me?”

    “… … .”

    I added something to the senior who was thinking about it for a moment.

    “I’ll even drink beer. It’s almost exam time, so if I don’t drink it now, it’s a bit ambiguous.”

    “But that’s-.”

    It looks like you regret not exercising enough.

    But honestly, I think it’s okay for seniors to just eat whatever they want.

    “Senior, you’re in good shape anyway. Last time I saw you, you had abs.”

    “Yeah, right. I don’t really diet, I just don’t eat because I don’t want to waste money.”

    As expected, it’s Jarin-gobi.

    Even though he must have been paid quite a lot while working as a bodyguard during the vacation, he still saves it diligently.

    “Then go first. I’ll buy your share too.”

    “No, okay. I’ll go with you.”

    “… … Is it because of those guys?”

    The black suits are still looking at me.

    Senior Joohee didn’t answer, but she glared at him with a questioning look on her face.

    “Are those bodyguards on Jinah’s side? I saw them the last time we fought.”

    “Yes, that’s right. I came to catch Jin-ah.”

    “Yeah, that’s right-.”

    Senior Joo-hee, who was about to answer, is speechless.

    Then he grabbed my shoulder, but his grip was so strong that it hurt a little.

    “Just in case, is Jinah in your room right now?”

    “Yes, I can’t run away and I’m in my room.”

    The senior’s expression immediately darkened.

    “Don’t worry,” I added with a smile.

    “Hey, you’re thinking weird. There’s Yua Rin there too. Don’t worry. ”

    “Children?”

    Senior, your expression is getting worse.

    As I was talking about it, I thought about it again, but wasn’t it because of Yoo Ah-rin that I ended up with senior Joo-hee?

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    The silence that came between us.

    The senior sighed faintly and then warned.

    “You know you’re in a very dangerous combination right now, right?”

    “I really don’t think so at all. Didn’t you feel that way when you were with your senior? That I was being as restrained as possible?”

    “… … That was restrained?”

    “Just a little bit, I… …I wanted to see my senior lose, so I put in some effort-.”

    No, what kind of conversation is this?

    “Senior, wait a minute. I think it would be better if we talked about something else?”

    “I agree too.”

    Look at how red your face is, senior.

    You are not the main commander, but a subordinate.

    “Other story. What could it be… … .”

    When I actually started to think about it, the only things that kept coming to mind were things I did with senior Joohee.

    Is this the kind of thing where when you tell someone not to think of an elephant, an elephant keeps coming to mind?

    I remember there being a professional term for this, but I forgot.

    “Ha, Mr.”

    I tried to apologize to my senior while covering my face.

    The senior answered firmly, controlling his facial expression.

    “Woojin, I was working as a bodyguard at that time.”

    “… … Yes?”

    “So. In order to relieve the client’s inconvenience and to carry out the instructions I received from the vice president.”

    I wanted to say, what kind of bodyguard would even take care of sexual intercourse?

    If that continued, it seemed like the wall of reason that my senior had been building would collapse.

    Now, the senior is so obsessive that it seems like he is hypnotizing himself.

    “What we did was not shameful at all. It was not private, it was completely public.”

    “Did you say that?”

    “Oh, so don’t be embarrassed. I’m fine with it.”

    “… … .”

    “Rather, the more you try to push past those things, the more they come to mind. Just think of them as concepts from basketball or soccer.”

    Is that so?

    Now, I also feel strangely like I am being taken over by my senior.

    “So there’s no need to feel awkward or force yourself not to speak.”

    “I see.”

    I felt like I had overcome a wall.

    As the untouchable barrier between me and my senior began to crumble, I felt closer to him.

    I nodded and gave my senior a thumbs up.

    “Senior, your butt is really pretty.”

    “… … .”

    The senior’s expression hardened for a moment, but he smiled awkwardly and moved on.

    “Woojin, you exercised a bit too.”

    “Right? Your body is pretty solid, right?”

    “Yeah, it wasn’t bad?”

    “But I heard you have a really good body, senior? You have muscles, but you also look feminine?”

    “Oh… Really?”

    “Yes, at that time, my skin was slightly tanned, so I thought I had applied oil to my body. I saw my abs and licked them without realizing it.”

    “… … .”

    “Ah, I remember my senior’s reaction back then. He was like, “What are you licking a place like that?” ”

    “… … .”

    “Surprisingly, you don’t have much stamina? I can do a little more-.”

    “Take it easy, you little shit!”

    The senior’s low kick landed accurately.

    “What the heck!?”

    I really do.

    I can confidently say that this is the most painful kick I’ve ever received in my life.

    He knelt down and placed his hands on the floor.

    If I did something wrong, I would fall right away.

    “Joe, you should do it moderately!”

    “He said to think of it as playing soccer or basketball, so I’ll stop… … .”

    “Is that really possible?! Ma, I was just saying let’s just let it go for now!”

    “Hey, can you please help me up? I think my leg is broken.”

    “It doesn’t break that much.”

    Even though you say that, it’s the senior who first got me up. It’s definitely gotten better after a while.

    “Ahem, I won’t talk about it anymore.”

    “… … Yeah.”

    Now that I’m talking about it, it seems like you have some worries.

    Anyway, we went to the store together, got some chicken, and bought some beer at the convenience store.

    There was no separate conversation as we went.

    The situation just now seems to have become several times more awkward because of that.

    Just as we were passing through the main gate of the university, Senior Joohee spoke as if the topic had just occurred to her.

    “Arin and Jinah, tell them to sleep in my room. It’ll be more comfortable.”

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    A moment of silence.

    It would be okay to take Choi Jin-ah, but I wondered if it was necessary to take Yoo Ah-rin as well.

    I just nodded because I still felt the sting from the low kick that Senior Joohee gave me earlier.

    Static again.

    I was wondering if I should have continued the conversation with that earlier.

    “Whew, Woojin.”

    Senior Joohee suddenly stopped walking.

    I also stood and looked at my senior as I passed him.

    “Yes?”

    “That, really… … Really, can I ask you just one thing?”

    “Yes. Honestly, I thought I was going to die from awkwardness.”

    “Sigh.”

    The atmosphere is starting to loosen up a bit.

    If a senior asks something like that, I thought he must be serious.

    But I don’t think it’s right for us to keep our mouths shut and go eat chicken.

    “That, that time you did it with me.”

    But what came out of my senior’s mouth was the same topic as before.

    Now that we’ve brought it up, do you think we should take out the bull’s horn in one go?

    I thought you were going to reorganize it again.

    The senior asked, covering his face with both hands.

    “Was it good?”

    “… … Yes?”

    When I looked dumbfounded at the unexpected question, my senior turned his head and added something as if making an excuse.

    “Ah, no. It was my first time… …so I’m a little. Hmm, worried, and wondering if it was okay-.”

    ah.

    Suddenly, the past comes to mind.

    Spending my first night with Yoonji.

    The day we became man and woman.

    ‘Hey, Yunji. Are you okay?’

    Now, such a question may seem somewhat childish and tactless.

    At that time, I was so anxious that I thought I had made a mistake.

    I’m sure you feel the same way, senior.

    Rather, it is amazing that you have held back from asking questions until now.

    Because I deeply sympathized with my senior’s feelings.

    I smiled and answered honestly, telling her to be at ease.

    “It was so chewy.”

    “… … .”

    “It was so delicious.”

    “… … .”
