Chapter Index

    “Sa, save me-! Save me!”

    Jinah Choi had a hard time understanding what had happened to her.

    Obviously, I had to carry out the penalty in front of Oh Yoon-ji because of the bet from the game I played yesterday.

    Having to act cute in a way that is terribly embarrassing.

    Choi Jin-ah may not understand why she is being asked to do such a thing, but she sincerely does inefficient work.

    Since it was said to be a punishment, I tried to just do it silently.

    Especially since there’s no one there right now.

    How on earth can you do something like this in front of other people?

    However, this shallowness of Choi Jin-ah ended up holding her back.

    “Housing!”

    “Kwak! Kwak! Save me!”

    If Jin-ah Choi had known that it was a demon summoning technique, she wouldn’t have done it even if she lost the game.

    “Sa, save me! Save me!”

    “Kkaaa …

    A few minutes later.

    Oh Yoon-ji came to her senses when Choi Jin-ah finally called her mother and father, whom she hated so much.

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    Awkward silence.

    “Oh, sorry.”

    Oh Yoon-ji tried to apologize carefully, but Choi Jin-ah was already upset and got angry.

    “Is that all if I apologize!? What is this! Why are you suddenly doing this to me! Actually, I didn’t want to act like I have an empty head!”

    “What, my head is empty… … .”

    Oh Yoon-ji was slightly shocked, but Choi Jin-ah’s words were right.

    Because Choi Jin-ah was the only one who got unjustly vented her anger.

    “Sorry, I’m a little sensitive about that.”

    “Bo, I won’t serve you fried rice. Please stop eating.”

    “Yeah, what. What is that.”

    Is that enough?

    I didn’t know that the daughter of a wealthy family and a world-class violinist liked fried rice so much.

    I didn’t know that in Hawaii, food is surprisingly cheap.

    “Haa, Jinah. But why did you suddenly act so cute?”

    “Yesterday, I was told to come to this room to eat pizza, so I came over and lost the game. That’s why I did it.”

    I somehow managed to hold back my boiling insides. Right now, I needed to become a cool-headed detective.

    “Didn’t Kim Woojin say where he was going while we were together yesterday? He’s not the type to go out on the weekend.”

    “Hmm? You didn’t say you were going anywhere today? That’s what I did, so I ordered fried rice. I had a delicious pizza yesterday, so I’ll go.”

    “… … Don’t you learn not to talk while eating? Chaebols are very strict about that.”

    “I learned it. But to resist my parents, I do it like this – Uum.”

    How unique and yet timid your resistance is.

    Oh Yoon-ji nodded roughly, but only sighed.

    Whatever it is, this isn’t what’s important.

    “Whew, how on earth are we going to catch this kid, Kim Woojin?”

    “Um, well. Did Mr. Woojin do something wrong again?”

    “… … I made a huge mistake.”

    “Ummm. Is it because the fried rice here is so oily that it tastes so good?”

    ‘I felt it.’

    No, isn’t the story going in a weird direction?

    “Later, I should try ordering both the fried chicken and tangsuyuk at the same time. To be honest, I don’t know the difference between the two.”

    “No, I’m not curious about that.”

    In fact, isn’t this girl lonely and in need of someone to talk to?

    If you think about it in that way, the reason for staying in the dorm is surprisingly easy to understand.

    “Haa, since Jinah is also a victim, I will definitely take revenge.”

    “… … You know that Yoonji is the perpetrator, right?”

    “Kim Woojin I’ll just kill this kid.”

    “Didn’t you hear? No, more than that-.”

    After that, the words Choi Jin-ah said were somewhat difficult to believe.

    “Yes?”

    Oh Yoon-ji can now finally find out where Kim Woo-jin is.

    * * *

    Rattling.

    The door opens.

    Oh Yoon-ji enters Choi Yi-seo’s studio apartment as usual.

    The place where Choi Yi-seo and Jeong Min-ji spent their time was a place where high school friends would often gather to drink and such.

    Of course, Oh Yoon-ji was also familiar with this place.

    As I entered, Choi Yi-seo was smiling as if she had been waiting for me.

    “Are you here?”

    And Kim Woo-jin hiding behind Choi Yi-seo.

    Since he is taller than me, even if I bend down, I can see Kim Woojin clearly.

    But Oh Yoon-ji’s gaze was on Choi Yi-seo.

    “I mean, I never thought I’d have an experience like this in my life.”

    The fact that there is still a faint blush on her face means that Oh Yoon-ji has been sold out.

    “I really didn’t know that the cuteness I used to show in the past would hold me back.”

    That too, even.

    “I thought you would spread that, Choi Yi-seo, not my ex-boyfriend.”

    “I’m so wronged, Yoonji! I said I’d never tell anyone!”

    “Shut up, Kim Woojin! Choi Yiseo, you’re next!”

    “That’s why I said I wouldn’t stay here, Iseo!”

    Kim Woo-jin, sobbing and begging for his life.

    However, Choi Yi-seo continues to look at Oh Yoon-ji while ignoring Kim Woo-jin.

    Oh Yoon-ji grits her teeth as she faces her high school friend Choi Yi-seo.

    “Poppo, why did you make your classmates and even Jinah do this as a punishment game?”

    “Why?”

    “Yeah, if it was done this way, there had to be a reason.”

    After hearing that, Choi Yi-seo thought for a moment. She rolled her eyes once and answered with an awkward smile.

    “There’s no such thing.”

    “… … What?”

    “I was just curious because you said you were acting cute in a way that your high school friend would never do.”

    “Why did you tell Popo?”

    “When there were three of us, you didn’t tell me. So I talked to Popo and decided to share it.”

    “… … What is the penalty for Jin-ah?”

    “That’s something that needs to be punished, but nothing comes to mind.”

    How should I take this now?

    First of all, Oh Yoon-ji felt very unfamiliar with Choi Yi-seo. It was a bit embarrassing because it felt like she was looking at a different person.

    “Were you always like this?”

    “It wasn’t like this originally.”

    I thought he must have known that Oh Yoon-ji would hate it, so I wondered why he was pretending not to know.

    But Choi Yi-seo is neither pretending not to know nor is she ignorant of what she did wrong.

    “I just thought that if I tried something like this, I might be able to understand Woojin a little bit.”

    “This is it… … !”

    “Don’t be impressed, Kim Woojin! I’m the victim here!”

    And Choi Jin-ah, who is eating fried rice without any company.

    “Why are you doing that to me?”

    “Well, I was a little selfish.”

    to be honest.

    It’s not like Choi Yi-seo had no selfish motives at all.

    No, rather, I felt a little bit bad.

    “Is it a bit weird that you keep talking about my boyfriend like this?”

    “This is it!”

    “Shut up, Kim Woojin!”

    “Why only me… … .”

    Kim Woo-jin bowed his head while crouching. Oh Yoon-ji sighed and touched her forehead.

    “I’ve done something to you about Kim Woojin quite a few times, but doesn’t it seem a bit out of the blue now?”

    “It felt bad that you were pretending to know Kim Woojin, even though I didn’t.”

    “… … .”

    That’s probably it.

    This was a story about when I was eating cafeteria food with Popo.

    So, you’re saying that you’ve never fought with Kim Woojin?

    In some ways, it’s a situation that can be easily overlooked.

    “You were keeping that?!”

    The Choi Yi-seo that I know is not the type to keep things like this to herself. But even Choi Yi-seo scratches her cheek as if embarrassed.

    “The chairman once said something like that. He said that the greedy part is quite similar to this guy.”

    “This is it!”

    “Shut up!”

    “… … bad guy.”

    When Oh Yoon-ji gestures for her to take a deep breath and say it again, Choi Yi-seo smiles and continues speaking.

    “Maybe that’s how it became a bit similar. If guys like Ahn Hyun-ho had talked about me as if they knew me well, Kim Woo-jin would have been really angry, right?”

    “He’s dead. That bastard.”

    Kim Woo-jin clenches his fist, saying, “How dare you talk so carelessly.”

    “I feel the same way. I think I got a little jealous when other people talked about my boyfriend as if they knew him better.”

    “… … It’s changed a lot.”

    “Right? I think so too.”

    Choi Yi-seo’s awkwardly constructed smile.

    It didn’t seem to be fully settled in yet, but it was definitely a beautiful smile.

    “Ugh, I don’t even have the energy to be angry anymore.”

    Oh Yoon-ji decided to admit it honestly.

    Because I remember myself being blinded by jealousy and acting violently.

    ‘No, it was worse.’

    Was it too serious to be known as aegyo?

    I thought Kim Woo-jin did his usual crazy thing again, but when I thought about Choi Yi-seo doing it, I surprisingly became calm.

    It feels like nothing special.

    “But Yoonji, if you were offended, I apologize.”

    “Hmm? Oh, well… …not that much.”

    Choi Yi-seo shook her head and opened her eyes wide, steeling her resolve.

    “No, I didn’t know you were having such a hard time. I definitely need to apologize to you too.”

    “… … .”

    “Hoo.”

    Oh Yoon-ji sensed something ominous in his deep breathing and tried to stop him in a hurry.

    “Lee Seon-eun! I can’t sleep without my husband!”

    Choi Yi-seo looks at Oh Yoon-ji with a cute wink, with both fists placed under her chin.

    Oh Yoon-ji, who saw that, felt anger rising again, but she decided to make sure to confirm something.

    “I was just trying to tease you.”

    “Did you get teased?”

    “Very much.”

    While the two people were laughing together.

    A person who interfered without notice.

    “This is so cute! Super cute! Wow! So cute! What is this! Do it one more time! Let me film it with my phone!”

    ‘I don’t think there was that much of a reaction when I did it.’

    Oh Yoon-ji, slightly annoyed, kicked Kim Woo-jin, who was acting all naughty in front of Choi Yi-seo, and shouted.

    “Get out! Anyway, you spread it and this is what happened, so get ready to get fucked!”

    “… … Forgive me.”

    “What are you forgiving me for? Just hit me.”

    “… … Woojini-!”

    No more words could be said.
