Chapter Index

    I guess I should say it’s fortunate.

    There was no word or anything about what just happened.

    Although Oh Yoon-ji did speak up, the people around her couldn’t hear her because the song was played loudly.

    “Okay, oh no. I’ll go.”

    Senior Joo-hee runs away, wiping her lips awkwardly.

    I wonder if it’s right to just take things like that and leave, but I feel like it would be a bit of a bother if I were to explain it to him while he’s right next to me.

    How convincing would it be to say that a blushing person came running at you while making noises next to you?

    “Hmm.”

    Oh Yoon-ji looks back and forth between the bottle of alcohol she is holding in her hand and me.

    When I see that he doesn’t go and tell other kids, I wonder if he has some intention.

    “Yoonji, so this is what I mean.”

    I tried to explain, thinking that this was my chance, but Oh Yoon-ji shook her head and simply replied.

    “Just wait. I’m thinking about it now.”

    “… … What are you worried about.”

    “Where should I hit you with the bottle to kill you in one hit? First of all, the head is the most likely spot.”

    “Ha, listen. I’m really being treated unfairly.”

    “Was there a point that was unfair just now… … .”

    If you say it like that, it’s true.

    Anyway, I feel wronged.

    “Senior Joohee started it first.”

    “… … .”

    “Oh, please. Don’t open your eyes like that.”

    “How did I get here.”

    “Your eyes looked like a dog barking.”

    “… … is it sharp?”

    Oh Yoon-ji was a little surprised that I guessed so accurately.

    I don’t know how to explain this, so I’ll just keep talking in a rambling manner.

    “I’m telling you, really? So my senior started it first, but I used a counter-fire strategy to push him away-.”

    “Oh, I know.”

    “Use it to take the initiative in reverse… …what?”

    What did you just say?

    Oh Yoon-ji shrugs her shoulders as she looks at me, asking, “Why are you explaining something like that?”

    “I know you didn’t do it first. I also believe you were attacked.”

    “Why?”

    You believe me in a situation where I would think I was the one who attacked you?

    I was suspicious that she was just trying to make me let my guard down, but Oh Yoon-ji responded calmly instead.

    “I’ve only seen you for a day or two. If you pretend not to know, you’ll lie.”

    “… … .”

    “I heard that you were attacked by senior Joohee earlier, so I came here on purpose to find you. It doesn’t seem like you lied.”

    “and.”

    I’m not being sarcastic or anything, this is seriously amazing.

    I knew that Oh Yoon-ji knew me well, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.

    “But you’re the one I’ve known the longest here.”

    Oh Yoon-ji speaks with a proud expression.

    “If we really have to be picky… …yes.”

    Well, we were the oldest relationship.

    Because you’ve been with me since the first semester of my freshman year.

    Oh Yoon-ji sneakily handed over a bottle of alcohol.

    “Gargle.”

    “… … .”

    I took a sip and found it quite tasty, with a hint of bitterness but also a hint of sweetness.

    “Oh, what is it? What kind of alcohol is this?”

    “Is it okay? I thought you’d like it when you drank it.”

    “… … You keep doing that on purpose.”

    “Did you get teased?”

    Oh Yoon-ji laughs while sticking out her tongue.

    Me too, and Oh Yoon-ji too.

    Maybe it was because he was a little drunk and had a bit of aegyo mixed in, but he seemed cute.

    ‘This won’t do.’

    He shook his head once to clear his mind, then returned the bottle of alcohol to Oh Yoon-ji.

    “Thank you for trusting me. I’ll take care of what to do with my senior, so you enjoy the party too.”

    “Why are you organizing it so awkwardly?”

    “Well, isn’t that awkward? You’re my ex-girlfriend.”

    It’s not Hollywood.

    Isn’t this Korea?

    In Korea, aren’t ex-lovers usually the type of people you hate seeing the most?

    “Didn’t you already shake off all that?”

    “That’s right. But you’ve been saying weird things lately. You keep saying you have to take responsibility for it.”

    I’ve talked to him on the phone while drinking, and it was quite a sight when we ran into each other at a noodle restaurant.

    I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t burdensome.

    Also, I naturally wanted to avoid such conversations or encounters because they could make the children feel anxious.

    “Hmm.”

    “So, you got it? I’m going. Have fun. I see a lot of guys are here too. I hope you meet someone who looks good there.”

    “… … .”

    He leaves without leaving Oh Yoon-ji behind.

    Okay, this is enough.

    How many times have we not spoken of breaking up?

    It ended well, but the cyber wrecking incident just made me feel emotional again.

    Now that you’ve done it once, you just have to wrap up your feelings again.

    Okay, then-.

    – Yoonji-yaaah!

    The steps stop.

    A familiar voice pierced my eardrums, stiffening my movements.

    – I really want to see you! I miss you! Where did you go?

    That was my voice.

    But when?

    I don’t remember saying anything like that?

    “What, what is that?”

    As I slowly turned around, Oh Yoon-ji was holding her cell phone, smiling slyly.

    What appeared on my phone was a recording screen.

    Anyway, that’s what I said.

    – I don’t need any other kids!

    Oh Yoon-ji continues to listen to the recorded content without answering.

    – Hey hey hey hey hey! I, sniff! Really! sniff! I miss you! Where the hell have you been!

    – I keep thinking about you! Even if I pretend not to, I keep thinking about you! Honey! We even named our baby! I really can’t live without you!

    “Shut up! Kim Woo-ji!”

    What the hell is that crazy kid talking about!

    After saying something similar a few times, the recording ended.

    Judging from the fact that Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo were mentioned here and there, it contained a considerable amount of gaffes.

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    We two look at each other.

    In the silence, Oh Yoon-ji opens her mouth with a grin.

    “I was surprised. At that time, the company was still settling down, so I was working overtime.”

    “… … .”

    “I wasn’t supposed to contact you until I got your approval, right? But I was so curious why you suddenly contacted me in the middle of the night, so I answered.”

    I contacted Oh Yoon-ji at dawn?

    I heard it was after you became close with Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo.

    then.

    “Ah… … That was the first time I drank with those idiots.”

    That was the day I first met the bald old man.

    When I woke up, everyone had experienced social death, and I had a record of calling Oh Yoon-ji for about three minutes.

    “That was it! ”

    Anyway, those idiot kids aren’t helping.

    I already miss the Han River and Pyojinho Lake.

    I wish I could go and blame those kids for this.

    “… … .”

    In the end, I know that it was me who drank, made phone calls, and did all that crap, not someone threatening me with a knife.

    So what should we do now?

    It’s confidence.

    “That was a long time ago. Do you think I should be shaken by something from the past?”

    If I remember correctly, this happened before I went to Gold One.

    So, I think I was in a relationship with Seo Ye-rin at the time, but we didn’t date because of my mother.

    What am I supposed to do with that?

    – I want to suck your breasts!

    “… … .”

    Fuck, Kim Woojin, go after him.

    Oh Yoon-ji finds the exact section and plays it again.

    A situation where there is nothing to say.

    While I was hesitating and thinking for a moment, Oh Yoon-ji asked.

    “Decide.”

    “What… … .”

    “Should we solve this and go down together? Or should we have a drink together and find common ground?”

    “Sorry, I’m the youngest son of the Space Group. Do you think I’d negotiate with a terrorist like you? Huh?! Do you think I’d negotiate?! Do you underestimate our love to that extent? What do you think the kids will say about me just because I drank and injected alcohol in the past?! What kind of alcohol should I bring?!”

    “Anything you want.”

    “I’ll be back soon!”

    * * *

    Okay.

    The sound of bottles clinking against each other echoes.

    I’ve always thought of this as the sound of magnets hitting magnets.

    There was no particular reason.

    I was just thinking about that.

    ‘You’re impatient.’

    I judged myself as I bit the bottle and slurped the alcohol down my throat.

    I’m impatient now.

    How can I steal Oh Yoon-ji’s cell phone?

    That’s all I was thinking about.

    Alcohol can be like gasoline for the brain, but it can also be a fuse that burns out.

    Come to your senses!

    “It feels like I’m living in the past.”

    The eyes soaked in tears touch me bitterly.

    Sitting on a bench set up for spectators in the corner of the soccer court.

    Oh Yoon-ji muttered the same thing again.

    “It feels like I’m living in the past. Just me.”

    “… … .”

    “I think back to the conversations we had, and I still have the recording of you telling me you loved me.”

    “… … .”

    “But on the contrary, you somehow try to distance yourself from me.”

    That’s not wrong.

    Because I tried to distance myself from Oh Yoon-ji somehow.

    In fact, more than senior Joo-hee or anyone else, Oh Yoon-ji was a person of interest.

    “Yoon Ji-ya.”

    Put your hand on Oh Yoon-ji’s shoulder.

    Now that we’re both drunk, I finally have the courage to talk.

    “If you know, get out.”

    “Fuck you little shit.”

    “Bitch, this is the fifth time you’ve flirted with me while pretending to be wet from the shower, including the time we were together.”

    “This doesn’t work?”

    Isn’t that obvious?

    “But your hands are still awkward. Are you trying to steal my phone without me knowing?”

    “… … .”

    Got it, dammit.

    If you’ve got it, there’s no need to hesitate.

    “Give me back!”

    I put down the bottle of alcohol and rushed at him. But Oh Yoon-ji, as if she had been waiting for me, grabbed my face with her palm and pushed it to the side, then got up from her seat.

    “Get out, Kim Woojin. Before I play the recording on the speakers that play the song.”

    Oh Yoon-ji, taking a stance like a martial artist.

    I too, glared at the guy, clenched my fists and imitated the boxer’s example.

    “If you do that, I will make it so you can’t live in South Korea.”

    “Before that, you’ll be beaten by Iseo and Arin.”

    I was speechless.

    That was right.

    “You’ve always been right. Am I your student?! Even when we were dating, I felt like I was being taught by you!”

    “Then you should straighten up your behavior! You made me act like a rich kid from a rich family, and then you disappeared for a moment and seduced three women?!”

    “You had a monopoly on blue chips!”

    Go to the show of force.

    He immediately runs towards me with both hands outstretched.

    I’m not the same as I used to be.

    Now, I can overwhelm Oh Yoon-ji in strength and speed.

    As a man, the reason you exercised was to subdue your ex-girlfriend.

    It was worth exercising.

    Let’s work harder in the future.

    “Tsk!”

    Oh Yoon-ji also seemed to know that she was at a disadvantage, so she threw her cell phone towards the foot volleyball court.

    The cell phone landed on the urethane-covered soccer field with a bounce.

    “… … !”

    I turned from Oh Yoon-ji straight towards the cell phone.

    “Stupid bitch!”

    He thinks there is no need to subdue Oh Yoon-ji and immediately picks up the cell phone.

    “Huh?”

    But when I actually picked it up, it was different from the cell phone I had seen earlier.

    I mistook it because the case colors were similar, but it was a completely different model of phone.

    That moment.

    Bam!

    Oh Yoon-ji’s dropkick hit my side and came in.

    “Huh?!”

    “That’s a work phone, you idiot!”

    He got kicked and fell down.

    “Eww!”

    However, Oh Yoon-ji also fell to the ground without being able to maintain her posture properly because she had performed a flying drop kick.

    Iron fist!

    The two of us ended up collapsing on the soccer field.

    “Oh, shit. It was so clean when I saw the movie.”

    But unlike me who got hit, Oh Yoon-ji tried to get up again.

    I grabbed a nearby soccer ball and threw it straight at the back of the guy’s head.

    Bam!

    “Aaak?!”

    Oh Yoon-ji falls down again after being hit by a soccer ball.

    “Get out, bitch.”

    “Kim Woojin’s color change… … .”

    The two of us ended up collapsing on the soccer field again.

    After struggling for a while because they were both tired, Oh Yoon-ji suddenly looked up at the stars in the sky and said.

    “You said you wanted to do it while looking at the stars at the campsite.”

    “You said you were cold and went into the tent.”

    “If we had fought like this back then, I think we would have been able to do it outside because our bodies would have been hot. Do you agree?”

    “… … I admit it.”

    “Hehehe.”

    “Haa, Oh Yoon-ji, your side really hurts because of you.”

    “The back of my head feels cold. Didn’t you just throw a brick at me?”

    “It was a soccer ball. Don’t exaggerate.”

    “Oh, it was a ball?”

    “Oh my, it’s been like that since the old days. I used to get so upset over nothing and get in pain.”

    “Then what did that kid who was acting all fussy and putting a band-aid on you say? He sucked your finger when you pricked it with a needle and asked what to do.”

    “That’s… ….”

    “Why are you drinking black blood? And you suddenly sucked it so lewdly that you ended up doing it, remember?”

    “Then you? When I had a cold, you suddenly started doing fellas. Do you remember? When I asked you to make me some porridge, you said you would do this first.”

    “At that time, I was in a state of sexual frustration after my period, and you happened to catch a cold… … But then I caught a cold and got better!”

    While irrelevant conversations continued to take place.

    My body, which had been heated up by intense movement, began to cool down and gradually become cold.

    Now that I feel better, I slowly get up. Oh Yoon-ji also got up at a good time.

    “Hey, this.”

    I hand over the work cell phone I brought earlier.

    “Thank you.”

    The party still looks hot.

    I said as we walked towards each other.

    “I have no more regrets.”

    Then Oh Yoon-ji asked back.

    “Would you believe me if I told you and the other kids that?”

    “… … .”

    “Practice lying a little. When you become the owner, you should be able to do that too.”

    anyhow.

    “Are you a teacher?”

    You know me too well.
