“… … .”

I was eating my school lunch with my mouth shut.

It may seem contradictory to eat food with your mouth closed, but it is not impossible because there is already food in your mouth.

It felt like it was just like me.

Am I creating a situation that is like a contradiction?

It doesn’t matter if you call it bullshit.

Anyway, I was having such worries right now.

“What are you doing.”

Oh Yoon-ji, who was eating at the cafeteria across from me, looked at me with pitiful eyes.

We weren’t eating together.

I was just eating alone in the cafeteria when Oh Yoon-ji came and sat across from me.

“Just.”

After chewing all the food, he answered.

To be honest, Oh Yoon-ji was a nuisance to me, who was having complicated worries in many ways.

“You’re thinking about useless things again.”

Oh Yoon-ji takes a bite of pork cutlet and pretends not to care.

“What do you know? I’m having the biggest problem of my life right now.”

“Do you know that every time you make that face, you’re worrying about something really useless? I used to worry about that too, but you were worrying about whether your first outdoor sex would be in the bathroom or in the classroom.”

“… … That was a very important matter.”

In the end, it was concluded that it wasn’t outdoor sex since they were both inside the building.

“You still have that same expression on your face now. No matter how I look at it, it seems like it’s just a useless worry.”

“Huh, then take it from there. I’m having a lot of trouble of my own.”

You could call it a kind of self-discovery.

At twenty-one, isn’t it still an age where you can find yourself?

“Did you get a warrant?”

Oh Yoon-ji asked with a hopeful heart. I answered with a sigh.

“I’m already mentally prepared for that. What’s there to worry about? I’ll take a break from school and go right away.”

I thought the same thing in the past, but seeing the two people who were so ruined right before they enlisted in the military made me even more determined.

When the warrant comes, I won’t delay and will just go right away.

When I took the physical examination, I got a grade 1.

“Then what? What’s the problem?”

“Not interested.”

“You keep sighing in front of me. It’s bothering me.”

When I think about it, I think the only person I can confide in about these worries is Oh Yoon-ji.

Because he knows everything about me, but he will also speak objectively from a third-party perspective.

‘She’s my ex-girlfriend too.’

Even though there are some parts that are a bit annoying, it’s okay because it was Oh Yoon-ji who asked.

“Ah, stop being so quiet. You were going to say it anyway.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

What I’m saying is that it took time to make up my mind.

Take a short deep breath and put the spoon down,

Whatever it was, what I was going to say was, in a way, a denial of the very foundation of my life up until now.

In the end, I blurt out the feelings that only I have been keeping inside.

“Isn’t it ethically wrong to date three women?”

“… … .”

Bam.

Oh Yoon-ji, with her mouth open, dropped the fork she was using to eat pork cutlet with.

He looked at me with his eyes wide open, still frozen in that position.

“This, now-.”

He shouted in a trembling voice.

“Now you know?!”

“Hey, be quiet. People are staring at you.”

People around look at me.

Even some people who knew about our relationship took pictures.

There’s been a lot of that lately.

There was so much commotion over the vacation regarding Oh Yoon-ji, and in the process of catching this voyeur, my face as the youngest son of the Woojoo Group was also revealed.

therefore.

“Wow, awesome.”

“I wish you a beautiful love.”

“If you take a picture of both and upload it to SNS, you’ll get a ton of likes.”

People around us seem to think of us as the main characters who have just finished the final story of a drama.

I’ve given up on taking pictures like that when I’m with Oh Yoon-ji.

At first, the three of them were just talking nonsense, but now they’re just doing it, and that’s a killing point in its own way.

“Oh my, when will this stop?”

Since college students tend to become popular quickly and then cool down just as quickly, that probably won’t last long.

“No, does that matter now? You just said something common sense at an out-of-common-sense time?!”

“… … No, I knew that too.”

I try to respond in a calm manner.

Don’t you think it’s weird that I’m dating three women?

But during that time, I think my senses were a bit numb.

What should I say?

It’s like the feeling of a Taoist who is in a state of ecstasy and wants to stay there forever.

That’s just what it says.

“There was no special reason, right? It was just something that suddenly occurred to me while I was listening to the lecture today.”

“You’re talking like it’s a big deal that I was absentminded because I didn’t want to listen to the lecture.”

“… … .”

“So. You suddenly had that thought? That you’re the biggest piece of trash in the world?”

“No, I didn’t say that.”

It really hurts.

“Ha, so what are you going to do? Are you going to suddenly choose one of the three people here?”

“No… …Well, that’s kind of like that too.”

Recently, doesn’t the atmosphere seem to be strangely going in the direction of all three of them admitting it?

I feel a bit bad about just letting this go, but my conscience keeps pricking my chest.

“Or what about other options?”

“Other options?”

Oh Yoon-ji looks away shyly, rests her chin on her hand, and mutters.

“Re, they say they reunited.”

“Ah, Senior Joohee!”

“Kim Woojin I want to switch the positions of my left and right brain.”

He tries to ignore the murderous gaze from Oh Yoon-ji in front and calls out to Senior Joo-hee, who is holding a tray.

The senior sat down next to Oh Yoon-ji without saying much, but judging from the hat he was wearing, he seemed to have just gotten up.

“Did you sleep?”

“Yeah, there’s no class today. I came here to save money and eat at the cafeteria.”

Certainly, the senior’s plate was the cheapest ttukbaegi bulgogi.

“Didn’t you make a lot of money working part-time?”

“I have to save money. Thanks to this, I don’t have to work part-time during the semester.”

I suddenly remembered that my senior collapsed while I was working at a cafe last time.

Of course, if your senior doesn’t have a financial crisis, the scholarship won’t be a problem.

“You came at a good time. I had something I wanted to ask you.”

“Yeah, tell me.”

A senior who listens while opening the lid of a rice cooker.

I blurted out what I had been thinking for a while.

“Isn’t it abnormal for a bodyguard to have sex with a client?”

Clang!

The senior who dropped the rice bowl.

Just like Oh Yoon-ji earlier, she opened her eyes wide and looked at me with her mouth open.

It looks like he wants to say something, but his lips are trembling because he is embarrassed.

“Why are you talking about that now?! I forgot!”

“You forgot?”

Oh Yoon-ji, sitting next to senior Joo-hee, snickers.

The senior pretended not to hear the teasing look, as if asking if he had really forgotten.

But what does that matter?

“No, that’s right. If you think about it, it’s strange that Yoo Ah-rin suddenly intervened, and the senior who intervened was also strange.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t it a bit weird that I did it with my senior?!”

Senior Joo-hee, who was trembling, tried to say something but then closed her mouth again.

How many times has that happened?

Finally, the senior opened his mouth.

“Well, let me ask you one thing first.”

“Yes?”

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

Why?

“Suddenly, I had that thought. I’ve been living strangely up until now.”

“It took me 21 years to realize that… ”

“Should I buy a cake today? Kim Woojin’s brain is cold.”

“The cafe I used to work at makes delicious cakes.”

The two of them suddenly started clapping and trying to designate it as an anniversary, and while it felt like it was something to do, it also felt strangely dirty.

“First of all, one thing. I’ll tell you just one thing, Woojin.”

Senior Joo-hee, who had been clapping, looks around and whispers softly.

“If you talk about that night one more time, I know you’ll die more painfully than you think.”

“… … Yep.”

“It was a tourist destination at the time, and I was drinking alcohol. Yeah, that’s why it was like that.”

“Senior, you didn’t drink-.”

Tub.

My senior’s hand covers my mouth.

I think I just grabbed it, but it feels like my teeth are going to fall out.

“I drank alcohol. I got really drunk.”

I didn’t nod, but my senior made me nod with force.

So the senior let it go.

Since you started eating the slightly cooled ttukbaegi bulgogi, we returned to the original story.

“Anyway, I’m worried about that right now. Do I feel guilty?”

Seo-ah Lee, a student in the Department of Theater and Film, had asked a similar question before.

He asked me if I had any feelings of guilt, but at the time I said that all of that would disappear if I had a woman by my side.

‘It was trash.’

How could he say such a thing? I began to doubt the humanity of the country.

“Haa, I can’t even eat.”

“After eating everything.”

“It must be easy to wash the dishes.”

I got up from my seat, pretending not to hear what the two people were saying.

It was difficult to ask someone to solve the problem.

But after talking about it, I started to think that I should do something.

As I left the restaurant, I took out my cell phone to find the kids.

* * *

“Senior.”

Kim Woo-jin goes out with a determined expression on his face, making a fuss.

Oh Yoon-ji, who was finishing up the remaining pork cutlet, called Min Joo-hee.

“Huh?”

Min Joo-hee was diligently inhaling the ttukbaegi bulgogi. When she turned her head slightly to look at her junior, Oh Yoon-ji spoke with a strangely empty expression.

“Want to bet?”

“What bet?”

“Whether that kid will bring a girl to the dorm or to the hotel today.”

“… … .”

Min Joo-hee looks in the direction Kim Woo-jin left for a moment with a spoon in her mouth.

“There’s no such thing as not doing it, right?”

When I asked just in case, Oh Yoon-ji let out a snicker.

“That kid is doing a hundred percent today.”

I don’t know if it’s one person or two, but either way, I’m going to do it no matter what.

“Hmm, hotel?”

“Okay. Then I’ll go to the dorm. Jin will buy me lunch tomorrow.”

After that, Oh Yoon-ji dipped the pork cutlet in sauce again without saying anything.

‘That damn thing.’

In fact, it was Oh Yoon-ji who had spent the most intense time with Kim Woo-jin, both physically and mentally.

‘I can only see it for half a day at most.’

He just nervously stuffed pork cutlets into his mouth.
