“Okay, goodbye.”

Choi Yi-seo greets awkwardly.

The dark tear marks left around her eyes showed that our emotions had reached an extreme just moments ago.

After a while, I naturally returned to reality.

I said that there is no love like a movie or drama, but why did I say things like something out of a movie or drama?

‘He was just crazy.’

Although she was honest, I think she was still too honest. I should have been a little more restrained.

He urgently calls out to Choi Yi-seo, who is about to enter the house.

“Hey, it’s Lee Seo. “We have to see each other again tomorrow, right?”

Filming still remains.

We have to meet again tomorrow to film, but if we part ways here, I think I’ll just be wearing a blanket until I see you tomorrow.

“Yeah, right?”

Choi Yi-seo suddenly answers while turning her gaze here and there as if she didn’t know I was calling her.

First of all, there was a need to brighten the atmosphere somehow.

“that is… … therefore.”

But when I actually wanted to talk about it again, I wondered how on earth I could change the atmosphere.

In the end, the two are just looking at each other blankly.

“uh? “What are you two doing?”

I met Minji just as she was coming out of the house. She came out wearing sleep pants and carrying a trash bag.

“You’re dumping trash at this hour?”

I thought it was an opportunity, so I said something right away, and Minji responded with a grumble.

“It was supposed to be Lee’s turn, but he didn’t come so I’m doing it… … But, what is it?”

Then he looked at us and hesitated as if he sensed some strange atmosphere.

“What happened to you two? “Did I get the timing wrong?”

Should I say yes or no? Looking at the things I wasn’t sure about, I could get a rough idea of how confusing the situation was.

“Did you cry here?”

Min-ji, who was about to go back inside the house with a garbage bag, is startled when she sees traces of Choi Yi-seo’s tears and hurriedly approaches her.

“what? what’s the matter? “What did you do to Yiseo?!”

As I watched Minji, who was hugging Choi Yi-seo fussily, shouting at me, I felt some of the strength in her shoulders relax.

“You didn’t do anything bad, so don’t call your brothers again.”

“No, why would you put salt on a painful wound…” … .”

“Minji, it smells like trash.”

“I’m definitely on your side, but why do you… … .”

As soon as the two of us long for Minji, she droops and pouts her lips. Thanks to this, the atmosphere became a bit lighter.

“It’s too much, everyone. I’ll take out the trash and sit next to it. “It’s combustible waste, so there’s no need to separate it.”

I leave Minji, who has trudged off to take out the trash, and look at Choi Yiseo again.

Choi Yi-seo seemed to think that the atmosphere had calmed down to some extent, as a deep smile appeared on his lips.

“The child has become brighter.”

Choi Yi-seo adds while looking at Minji. It looked completely different from before when I was swept up in delusions.

“It’s thanks to your help.”

“She mustered her courage.”

What would I have done?

Minji committed a sin and was punished, so all she could do was reform and become a new person.

“I’ll go soon. Don’t take what I said today too seriously. Just listen with one ear and let it go with the other.”

It was vague, but when I said that, Yiseo Choi looked at me and answered with a bright smile.

“Don’t listen to anything I say.”

“…….”

“Hold on, okay?”

She couldn’t give a definite answer, but after nodding that she understood, she turned around.

As I was passing a garbage dump, I caught sight of Minji squatting next to a garbage bag, but she just pretended not to see her and passed by.

‘I have to go home quickly, take a shower, and sleep.’

She’s going home and stretching.

Ugh!

A cell phone suddenly rang.

If it rang while the time was approaching midnight, it was usually a notification from the bamboo forest, so I checked it without much thought.

Yoo Ah-rin –

A quite unexpected person called me. We obviously broke up after filming together earlier, so what is there to say?

She’s upset, so let’s answer the phone.

where are you?

Yoo Ah-rin’s low voice indirectly informed me that the situation was serious.

“After taking Choi home, I’m also on my way home?”

… … It must have been good, right? If we had been together all this time, would we have kissed under a streetlight?

“Can I hang up?”

As she let out a sigh and was about to hang up the phone, Yua Lin hurriedly shouted.

no no! Sorry! I’m really sorry, so please help me just this once.

“What.”

I’ll send you the address via chat, so come there.

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

‘He’s just going to go home after completing his assignment, so what else…? … .’

While thinking about that, I head to the address Yua Rin sent me in her chat. Today, I heard a lot of strange things about Yoo Ah-rin, so I thought it would be a good idea to go there first.

The location where Yoo Ah-rin took the photo was a bit unexpected, but it was a local playground.

Recently, it was not a place for kids to hang out, but rather a place for delinquent students to go when they had nowhere else to go, so the place had an ominous feel to it.

That was actually the case.

Yoo Ah-rin’s hair color was so bright that you could tell it was Yoo Ah-rin even from a distance at night.

There was a large man standing across from him.

Although it was decorated in its own way, it felt a bit awkward. Just looking at him, he was a man who gave off the vibe that you shouldn’t make eye contact with him in passing.

“Ujinaa!”

Yua Rin recognized me and immediately came running to me, waving his hand. If you see him greeting warmly and raising his voice, you can clearly see the tone of his acting.

I frowned unconsciously as Yoo Ah-rin ran up to me and crossed her arms.

“What are you doing?”

When he asked in a low whisper, Yua Rin immediately pinched his thigh and laughed.

“Shut up and just tell me what to say. “Really please.”

“…….”

When I see something so urgent, I think there’s definitely something there. I felt like I knew exactly what this felt like, so without even realizing it, my body gained strength.

Yoo Ah-rin, who took me in front of the man, smiled brightly and said.

“Brother, did you see it? This is my boyfriend… … .”

“Not my boyfriend. “I’m just a friend who goes to the same school.”

Let’s go right in and interrupt Yoo Ah-rin.

Yoo Ah-rin, whose expression was soured, glared at me, and the person who was my brother also had a strange expression on his face, and he looked at me.

I put on my most humane smile and immediately offered to shake my brother’s hand.

“Hello, a friend from the same department as Yoo Ah-rin. “My name is Kim Woo-jin.”

When I came out confidently, the person on the other end blankly accepted my handshake with a rather bewildered expression.

“Hi, my name is Pyo Jin-ho. With Arin… … “I’ve known you since high school.”

This person is Pyo Jin-ho.

He had that feeling, but seeing it clearly like this was enough to scare the kids.

“Aha, I see. “Can you tell me what the situation is now?”

As I continue to ask questions with a smile still on my face, Pyo Jin-ho gets caught up in my flow and continues talking.

“I’ve been interested in Arin for a long time. So, I tried to contact them again… … .”

“Aha, so this scum called me your boyfriend?”

Yoo Ah-rin is punching me in the back from behind. She wanted to ask me to stop because it really hurt.

“But rest assured. “I’m not her boyfriend.”

“…….”

“There is absolutely no need for you to be jealous, curse at me, or come to hit me from behind.”

He was a man about whom strange rumors abounded.

Isn’t there any good in being involved for no reason?

I didn’t even want to imagine what kind of trouble he would have faced if I had said that I was Yoo Ah-rin’s boyfriend.

“Ah-oh! You bastard! I asked you to guess what I said just once. That’s it! that is! “That’s that hard?!”

Yoo Ah-rin keeps patting me on the back.

He couldn’t hold back any longer and turned around to snatch the guy’s wrist.

“I feel dirty for trying to pretend that I was your boyfriend in the first place!”

Isn’t that so?

“If you’re not interested, shouldn’t you just say you’re not interested? “What are you so scared of that you’re lying like this?!”

“No, that’s… … ! Ha, really!”

“You might have punched me in high school! Just by looking at him, I think he did it because he was good at making rice cakes!”

When I point at Brother Pyo Jin-ho and shout, his body starts to tremble.

“But how old are you now! How old are you?!”

“S, twenty-two.”

“Wow, you’re the same age as Joohee. You’re that old now, but do you think you’ll still be punching?! “Brother, it’s been a long time since you let go!”

“What do you know, you crazy bastard! “I saw you for the first time today!”

I don’t know.

But I’m just talking.

“But what should I do if I have feelings for you? If your brother confessed like a man, shouldn’t you answer honestly like a woman? “Where are you taking off your hem, pretending you have a boyfriend?”

“Ah-oh! “I really want to kill you!”

Yua Rin was so excited that he stomped his feet on the ground. If that’s right, I think I could really fall behind.

“Be honest! I’m sure you’re ready to accept it, too! Right? “You’re obviously a manly man, so you want to hear an honest answer, right?”

“uh? Well, right… … .”

I go over to Jinho, who is starting to get caught up in the flow, and pat him on the back.

“Let’s go, you’re going to confess to that bitch.”

“ah! “I don’t like it!”

Yua Rin, who cried out loud, finally shouts out her emotions.

“no, I do not want! I don’t like my senior! She’s also upset that she fell out with Yerin because of her senior! I hate myself for being jealous of her! “I don’t like that bastard Jung Chan-woo broke my confession!”

“…….”

“I hate the way he sneaks up on me when we do Taekwondo together because he smells like sweat! “It’s annoying that they were warning the kids behind their backs that I was theirs!”

“…….”

“It’s shitty that you keep asking me to come to the dojang! “It sucks to contact the kids around me and look for me!”

“…….”

“I’m sure you rejected it, but I fucking hate it when you tease me like this! “It’s shitty to follow someone around like it’s your first love or something!”

“…….”

“Isn’t it too much for you to destroy my first love so badly and then do this to me?”

“…….”

“I don’t like wearing clothes because it makes me feel like a pig! I don’t like it because my gait is so bad! “It feels like I’m spraying perfume, but I spray too much and I don’t like it!”

“…….”

“I hate the smell of sweat! I don’t even want to discipline my kids! I hate coming here at night like this! “I don’t want you to look at me while waiting for me!”

“…….”

“I don’t like being arrogant! I don’t want you to act strong towards me! I don’t even want to send messages! I don’t even want to make phone calls! “I don’t like having to worry about other kids!”

“…….”

“I hate the thought of the other kids gathering or taking out their anger on me for getting dumped! “I don’t like bragging about the money I earned!”

“…….”

“I don’t like smoking! Spitting up phlegm is especially annoying! Sexual harassment is also a fucking thing! “It’s really shitty that other women often reveal it too!”

“…….”

“just! I just hate it! No, how can I like a senior?! Because he was so intimidated by his senior, Jeong Chan-woo, that idiot even rejected my confession! uh?! Chanwoo and Yerin tried to force us to get together to protect me?!”

“…….”

“what? confession? confession? It’s a fuck! I missed high school because of you! “If I were on active duty, you would be beaten by me and immediately be in the hospital sucking your teeth because all your teeth were broken!”

“…….”

“Ah-oh! And I’ll just tell you one thing. When you compete with you, the kids just got it. So you can’t even go to a competition and win! Why on earth do you pretend to be a player and then pursue a career as a leader at the age of 22? “Did you change your mind after getting beaten up in the competition and drawing a map on your blanket?”

“…….”

“Do you regret it? When I was in high school, I thought the world was mine, but when I came out, I thought, wow! “It was just a piece of shit?”

“…….”

“Say such a damn thing to the teachers! That’s so damn bad at school! But what is this? Do you know now that the people and places you were fucking with were actually protecting you?”

“…….”

“You need to change your personality first, you bastard! Then I went to the military and got beaten up! why? Should I ask my senior to take off his rank badge and stick with me? I heard you said that to your 3rd year seniors when you were a 2nd year student! To those preparing for the CSAT!”

“…….”

“It’s really worth seeing. People use cell phones these days, so call Yeongtong. I’ll be waiting with popcorn! Summon the company commander immediately! Summon the battalion commander! Regiment commander summoned! “If we take off each rank insignia and fight, we’ll also fight with this bastard president!”

“…….”

“Fuck you! Congratulations! You took off your rank insignia and declared the Republic of Korea! “Come back when that time comes, and I’ll even open my crotch and let you date me, you fucking bastard!”

Is it finally over?

Yoo Ah-rin is panting and glaring at Pyo Jin-ho. I slowly approach Yoo Ah-rin and pretend to hand her something.

“A passing necklace given to Yoo Ah-rin.”

“… … thank you.”

I didn’t have anything to give, so I just pretended to give it to him, but surprisingly he accepted it well.

I wondered if Pyo Jin-ho was getting excited and rushing towards me. His shoulders are slumping, as if he has already been killed by words.

“Brother, you are wonderful. “You confessed like a man and criticized me like a man.”

“…….”

Pyo Jin-ho trudges away, probably quite shocked. I pat him on the shoulder and hold out my cell phone.

“Let’s have a glass of soju later.”

“…….”

He seemed to have a paralyzed tongue and just gave me his number without saying a word.

At the same time, she seemed to have calmed down a bit and glanced at Yua Rin.

“If you say things like I loved you, you fucking bastard, I’ll kill you.”

“hey! I already got out of the ring, why are you hitting me again? stop!”

My brother eventually left.

Yoo Ah-rin remained with me.

“Honestly, I was a little scared of that senior. “Once I was speechless, I just poured it out.”

I smiled as I looked at the guy who was breathing heavily because he had been talking so much.

“Relieved?”

Yua Rin also laughed at my question and stuck out her fist.

“I was so relieved that I got a little wet.”

I also gave a fist bump to the outstretched fist and let out an awkward laugh.

“Crazy bitch.”
