Chapter Index

    late time.

    Seo Ye-rin, who has run blindly, struggles to catch her breath and looks around.

    A moment when I wonder if this is the place I promised.

    “Yerin, here.”

    Under a nearby telephone pole, Choi Yi-seo is standing, waving his hand. She also dressed casually and comfortably, probably because she suddenly came out late at night.

    I was a little embarrassed when I saw Seo Ye-rin running in and out of nowhere.

    “I, Iseo! You’re here!”

    “Why did you run in such a hurry? Wait a minute, are those pants pajamas?”

    When Seo Ye-rin smiles and asks why she was in such a hurry when the appointment time hasn’t even arrived yet, Seo Ye-rin wipes the sweat from her forehead.

    “I came out without my mom knowing. So yeah. I’m afraid my mom will catch it.”

    “… … .”

    “It’s okay. It’s because my mom has been trying to be too protective lately.”

    Is it okay if I just listen to this quietly?

    Could it be that the families of their college classmates were in crisis for no reason because of them?

    Choi Yi-seo was worried about many things, but Seo Ye-rin smiled and patted her shoulder as if she had already made up her mind.

    “What about Arin?”

    “Wouldn’t it come soon?”

    “Ah… … .”

    Seo Ye-rin seemed to know why she was late. Because it must be a complicated feeling.

    “Did you see it too, Lee Seo?”

    “Yes, Arin sent it to me. Jinah Choi’s post.”

    I found out about the identity of Kim Woo-jin’s girlfriend through SNS. I heard that they were just going to meet each other, but I couldn’t believe it was a famous violinist and an elementary school classmate.

    I think the three people are probably feeling the same way right now.

    At that time, a woman who was walking towards us from a distance started running.

    Just looking at it, it was Yoo Ah-rin.

    “Oh my, I was the last one. Surprisingly, there are still 5 minutes left until the appointment time, so no apology.”

    Yoo Ah-rin proudly and shamelessly shows the time on her cell phone.

    “I didn’t think like that.”

    “Okay, let’s go in. Wow, it’s chilly outside!”

    “… … Why are you wearing pajamas?”

    The three people went into the store while talking to each other.

    The store chosen by Choi Yi-seo is Izakaya. It was a store with a quite static atmosphere.

    It was already late at night, and it was slowly approaching midnight.

    The scarlet lanterns and sparse shadows, characteristic of Japanese bars, harmoniously filled the interior of the store.

    It’s a perfect place because there aren’t many people and it’s small.

    “In a place like this, you don’t have to worry about being hunted.”

    Right now, people like Seo Ye-rin, Choi I-seo, and Yoo Ah-rin often come up to me when they’re at a bar and say they’re interested.

    However, there was no need to worry because most of the customers in these bars came to talk among themselves.

    “Oh, is the menu here also Japanese? I recently watched an animation about food making and was craving Japanese food!”

    “It’s a shame. I was hunted and had to turn Kim Woo-jin inside out.”

    Seo Ye-rin, who has already taken a seat at the counter, says it’s good, and Yoo Ah-rin looks satisfied with her words.

    The three ordered drinks and light snacks and then got straight to the point.

    “Ujini is having an affair… … .”

    Seo Ye-rin, who had been excited about drinking just now, droops down and holds out her cell phone.

    Since Seo Ye-rin was sitting between the two people, both of them could see their phones.

    There was a two-shot of violinists Choi Jin-ah and Kim Woo-jin, which I saw earlier.

    “Ha, didn’t you know I was cheating? He was cheating on me from the beginning, leaving that bastard between us.”

    Clicking her tongue, Yoo Ah-rin turns away the screen of Seo Ye-rin’s phone. It’s as if he doesn’t even want to see it.

    “He was the one who kept it between three people in the first place, so what’s weird about adding one more? uh? That’s not true.”

    “… … .”

    Choi Yi-seo also thought that what he said was not particularly wrong. They said they were dating, but when I saw the photo, they looked very close.

    Also, they can’t contact us right now.

    “If you stretch it out like this, if you actually fall for another woman, wouldn’t you be able to say that you don’t like her anymore and that you should break up with her? If we share our feelings with just anyone, aren’t we ultimately in a casual relationship?”

    Yoo Ah-rin continues her aggressive tone. They were cursing Kim Woo-jin, but for some reason they felt like they were being hurt, but they tried to ignore it.

    “Okay, let’s say it clearly this time. If that bastard says he won’t decide who among the three I will give up.”

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    In an instant, the two people’s eyes are focused on Yoo Ah-rin.

    She took a sip of her drink and put the glass down roughly. Looking at him grinning, I saw that he had already drank half a bottle of the drink he had asked us to drink together.

    “Then Arin will fall out?”

    “Uh! It will happen! Think about it in the first place! What do we lack so much that we have to grab one guy like that and fight him like he’s trying to kill us?”

    “Then what about Yiseo? What are you going to do?”

    The opportunity passed to Choi Yi-seo as if passing the baton from Yoo Ah-rin. She sighed and smiled bitterly.

    There was something I wanted to say, but it took more courage than I thought to say it out loud.

    After taking a sip of alcohol thanks to Yoo Ah-rin who pushed me the bottle, I confess with a bit of relief.

    “I was a little scared.”

    scary.

    A fresh word came out, but just by hearing it, the two people already felt like they knew what Choi Yi-seo was going to say.

    “The person Woojin met. He has recently appeared on entertainment shows and won an award as a violinist, so he is often in the news.”

    That’s all.

    “Furthermore, I understand that Woojin’s family is wealthy. Since Woojin’s father took his place, it must be at a similar level.”

    A shadow falls on Choi Yi-seo’s face.

    Before I knew it, I had lowered my head without realizing it.

    “Woojin casually meets someone I thought was amazing and they go on a date. Even if this person is not that good, you will probably meet people who are worse than him without difficulty.”

    Meeting each other meant getting married.

    Just because something went wrong once, it didn’t seem like the chaebol family would just sit still.

    The second and third confrontation positions will come back at any time.

    I will always think of Choi Yi-seo at that time.

    “Am I better than those people?”

    twenty one.

    Just a second year of college.

    Rather than worrying about the distant future, we are at an age where we worry about tomorrow, assignments, grades, and relationships between people.

    They must be the same age.

    Choi Jin-ah achieved results that she would not have been able to achieve even if it took several years for her to do so.

    That kind of woman liked Kim Woo-jin.

    “I thought Woojin was catching us. Straddling three legs… … Yeah, because it doesn’t make sense.”

    Choi Yi-seo slowly turns his head and looks at the two.

    Seo Ye-rin’s fuss and Yoo Ah-rin’s aggressive tone.

    Now everyone knew that it all started from the same emotion.

    “But when I looked at that photo, I suddenly wondered if it was the opposite. I… … He’s holding Woojin. Don’t let me go anywhere.”

    A frog in a well, a canary in a cage.

    I wondered if they were currently holding a man named Kim Woo-jin in that way.

    Don’t let the frog see the world outside.

    Don’t let the canary fly towards the sky on its own.

    “Oh, really.”

    Choi Yi-seo sweeps her bangs and lets out a bitter breath.

    “I hated myself so much.”

    Choi Yi-seo slowly nodded while crying. I never thought I would say something like this.

    “I’ll give up.”

    There was only so much I could say with my lips pursed.

    Because if I said more, I felt like tears would flow.

    “Ta-da.”

    Yoo Ah-rin, who understands her feelings, quietly holds out a glass, and Yi-seo Choi responds with her head still lowered.

    braided.

    Seo Ye-rin saw two drinking glasses clink in front of her.

    “It’s a shame.”

    When she saw that, she felt truly regretful.

    “What do I regret?”

    “… … .”

    Seo Ye-rin slowly fills her glass with alcohol while receiving both of their gazes at the same time.

    “Because now the four of us will never have time to play together again.”

    Seo Ye-rin took a sip.

    All three of us were very good at drinking, but the naturally increasing number of alcohol bottles was slowly disturbing our minds.

    “I don’t like sharing. I wish Ujini would only look at me. That’s true.”

    Eat.

    Why is this like this?

    Why is he saying this?

    Seo Ye-rin herself doesn’t understand, but this was the truth.

    “Ah… … It was really fun just hanging out with ourselves.”

    You can’t do that anymore.

    That was something she regretted.

    “Huh, it’s funny.”

    “Ha.”

    Despite what they said, surprisingly, the other two also sympathized with her feelings.

    I had fun playing.

    It’s a pity that we won’t be able to play together more in the future.

    From elementary school to middle school.

    From middle school to high school.

    From high school to college.

    It’s always sad to say goodbye to friends I used to play with, but good relationships have come back again.

    therefore.

    It will be the same this time too.

    “It’s not like I’m failing because it’s the same class anyway.”

    Yoo Ah-rin smiled bitterly and held out her glass.

    “Yes, that’s right. All three of us can get together like this often.”

    Is that really possible? Although he still had doubts, Choi Yi-seo still held out his glass.

    Two glasses gathered in front of me.

    “Dowon resolution!”

    Shouting out words with no meaning, Seo Ye-rin also raised her glass and clinked it together.

    Continue.

    Seo Ye-rin, who had been drinking like that, nodded while exhaling a long breath full of the smell of alcohol.

    “Joa! I give up too!”

    He may have said it out of anger when he was drunk, but he was sincere at the moment.

    “If I was blocking Ujini’s path, then no. I’ll let you go for a moment.”

    And become a big actor.

    By becoming a very famous actor that everyone looks up to.

    Let’s visit again then.

    Even if I’m next to Kim Woo-jin, I don’t feel discouraged at all –

    “Haak! Sigh! Oh, really!”

    The three people’s heads turned at the sound of a man’s voice coming from behind them.

    It’s a quiet time past midnight.

    People are trudging back to work on Monday, suppressing their desire to drink more.

    Kim Woo-jin, who was sweating profusely by himself, was looking at the three people.

    “What are you doing here? Why am I not receiving calls again?”

    As Kim Woo-jin approached, sighing, the three of them looked at him blankly.

    Kuuk.

    Choi Yi-seo pinched Kim Woo-jin’s cheek.

    puck.

    Yoo Ah-rin punches Kim Woo-jin on the shoulder.

    Sigh.

    Seo Ye-rin put her hand between Kim Woo-jin’s crotch.

    And then all three said at the same time.

    “It’s true.”

    It was real.

    This was the real Kim Woo-jin.

    Why and how is Kim Woo-jin, who clearly went to his home to see the confrontation, here?

    The three people’s questions came straight out of their mouths.

    Kim Woo-jin grumbled, saying he was asking something strange.

    “I came because I wanted to see you.”
