Chapter Index

    As I got off the plane, I felt strangely excited.

    I didn’t even bring my passport, it didn’t take long, and I only came to Jeju Island, but I still felt like I was on a trip.

    “Hey! Let’s go quickly!”

    Looks like it wasn’t just me.

    Yoo Ah-rin runs out of the airport excitedly. The yellow bag on her back dangles like a chick every time she runs.

    I also went out with him.

    The weather was perfect, except that it was cold.

    It was hot on the plane so I took my clothes off, but I think it’s time to put on a coat.

    “Come and see.”

    Yoo Ah-rin takes out her phone and calls out to me to take a selfie. After taking a few selfies together, I look around the road while Yoo Ah-rin sends the pictures to the other kids.

    ‘I heard that Jeju Island’s off-season is from November to February next year.’

    There are surprisingly a lot of people.

    In particular, foreign tourists are often seen.

    At that moment, a black forklift stops. Seeing that the vehicle has [Jeju Faith Scooter] written on it, Yu Ah-rin is pulled over.

    “Let’s go, let’s go, you’re here.”

    “Huh? You came so quickly?”

    While taking pictures here and there, Yoo Ah-rin takes a picture of a forklift and approaches it.

    “Kim Woojin and Yoo Ahrin.”

    “Oh, yes. Take it.”

    Today we decided to rent a scooter and get around. Our new accommodation is a bit far from the city center, so taking a taxi would be expensive.

    Surprisingly, Yu Ah-rin had a driver’s license.

    I’ll ride behind and Yuarin will drive the scooter. Even though the weather is a bit cold, Yuarin is well prepared for this.

    While I was sitting in the van waiting for it to depart, foreigners came inside.

    Two men and one woman are talking in English.

    “Isn’t it way too cold here?”

    “Riding a scooter in this weather?”

    “Tom suggested it. He says it’s his dream or something.”

    ‘Oh.’

    I feel strangely intimidated when I see people speaking in English, even though I am an English major.

    I understand it to some extent, but it shows here that you didn’t study hard enough.

    “Haha! Hey, look at this! Choi Yi-seo sent me a picture.”

    Yoo Ah-rin hands me her phone without paying attention to the people in front of her. Seo Ye-rin’s face is red and her cheeks are puffed out.

    I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him looking like an angry hamster.

    “Why is he doing this?”

    “The picture you sent us earlier. He said he’s still doing this after seeing it.”

    “Oh my, so cute.”

    As I said this with a smile, Yu Ah-rin bit her lower lip and stared at me intently.

    A moment of silence.

    I’m a man who’s dated three women. At times like this, my sense of humor is amazing.

    “Do you want to go to the bathroom?”

    “You son of a bitch, you know what I’m going to say!”

    Yoo Ah-rin punches my shoulder. But unlike usual, she doesn’t use any force at all, so I guess she noticed that I was intentionally teasing her.

    While we were playfully bickering, I suddenly felt a gaze.

    Foreigners are looking at us and smiling as if they saw something good.

    In a strange atmosphere, I whisper to Yu Ah-rin.

    “What, what is it? Why are you asking me why I’m looking at you like that?”

    “That’s bullshit. I guess he just found it fun to play with. Don’t pick fights over weird things.”

    “Aratseo.”

    When I nodded to say that I would listen, Yu Ah-rin smiled and patted my thigh.

    “Excuse me, are you two dating?”

    Then the only black man in their group asks with a smile, looking like he’s building something out of a Lego movie.

    “Dating?”

    As I stood there helplessly, unable to come to my senses due to the sudden English flurry, Yoo Ah-rin crossed her arms and answered.

    “Yes, he’s my boyfriend.”

    “Oh, right. That’s right. You asked if we were dating.”

    Only after hearing the answer did I understand the question. As the van started to move, the conversation blossomed.

    After listening to the story calmly, the conversation itself wasn’t that difficult to understand.

    They were better people than I thought.

    Before getting off, I asked them to take a few pictures of me and Yua Rin in the car and said goodbye.

    “Is this the taste of travel?”

    He mutters absentmindedly, standing in front of the rented scooter.

    I’ve heard that traveling is about new experiences, but I never thought I’d meet so many new people.

    I was even comforted when he told me that he was going to join the military next month.

    “Hey, let’s go.”

    Yoo Ah-rin wearing a helmet after taking pictures of her scooter.

    “Looking at it, if you eat lunch on the way, it’s just check-in time, right? What do you want for lunch?”

    “Hmm, I haven’t really thought about it.”

    He sits on the back of the scooter, wearing a helmet. He wraps his arms around Yuarin’s waist and rests his chin on her shoulder.

    “What should I eat?”

    “Think about it as you go. If you come across a place that looks delicious, let’s eat there.”

    Yoo Ah-rin smiles, saying that is the charm of traveling.

    good night.

    This is my first time traveling with Arin.

    Could it be because of her personality?

    This trip was especially liberating, and my heart felt refreshed.

    * * *

    “Ah, here we go again!”

    Seo Ye-rin screamed after receiving Yoo Ah-rin’s photo on her phone.

    Yoo Ah-rin has been sending photos in real time since a while ago, and it’s been stimulating the two of them quite a bit.

    “Eat meat, meat!”

    Two people taken at a meat restaurant.

    There is a fairly thick piece of meat on the grill, so it seems like they are eating black pork.

    “Yerin, stop looking at that.”

    Choi Yi-seo sighs and sips her beer. The exam is over, but the two of them are drinking in a nearby hotel room, looking miserable.

    ‘Haa, it wasn’t like this.’

    I sigh as I drink my beer to calm my nerves. What really annoys me is that my phone has been ringing non-stop since a while ago.

    “… … .”

    Woof! Woof! Woof!

    Choi Yi-seo’s cell phone keeps ringing.

    It wasn’t because of the text message sent by Yoo Ah-rin, but because of the contacts coming from here and there.

    The content is varied and the people are all different types of people.

    – Baek Seo-woo: Seo-ya, what are you doing? The exam is over. Want a beer for dinner?

    -Jung Ji-ah: Huh? Is it been a while?

    – Signal Window: The representatives have decided to meet up. Are you going to attend?

    – Han Tae-yoon: Do you know Minji Lee? We go to the same high school. Want to eat dinner together tonight?

    “Sigh.”

    I sigh and delete all their notifications. Normally, I would have replied out of courtesy, but I don’t feel like doing that right now.

    – Kim Woojin –

    I’m getting messages from all over the place, but not a single message is coming from the man I’m hoping for.

    That made me angry and honestly a little upset.

    “Hey, your phone is going to burn.”

    Seo Ye-rin speaking with a smile.

    In fact, the cell phone of Seo Ye-rin, the original creator of this kind of thing, is silent.

    “Yerin, you haven’t heard from me?”

    Choi Yi-seo asks while glancing over.

    Doesn’t Seo Ye-rin usually get contacted like this a lot?

    To her, who is the best beauty and actress in the English department.

    “I don’t get that kind of call anymore. What should I say… … .”

    Seo Ye-rin smiles brightly and strikes an elegant pose.

    “Because I became like an unreachable star?”

    “… … .”

    I didn’t want to agree with that, but it was an acceptable answer. Now that Seo Ye-rin is an actress, I don’t think anyone will contact her to try to seduce her.

    “Well, I do get a call once in a while. Even then, if I answer with an excuse about my agency, it’s easy to get over it. Easy, right?”

    “That would be nice.”

    Choi Yi-seo muttered with a can of beer in her mouth. Taking another sip, a question suddenly occurred to her.

    “Then you don’t contact other actors? Aren’t there some actors that secretly date each other and stuff?”

    There are often cases where actors start dating while working together on a project, and it’s unlikely that handsome actors would just leave a fresh college student like Seo Ye-rin alone.

    “Huh.”

    But Seo Ye-rin was thorough in this regard.

    “I only gave my company phone number as my contact information. No one knows my personal contact information.”

    So when a personal contact comes in, the company naturally responds.

    Because the company cell phone is managed by the manager, not Seo Ye-rin.

    “This is so thorough.”

    “Of course! I’m pure and innocent!”

    “But the other person is not pure and innocent.”

    Choi Yi-seo checks the message again.

    There are still quite a few messages coming from people who aren’t even interested.

    I know there’s nothing I can do.

    Because it’s a secret that I’m dating Kim Woojin.

    It’s a secret not only for herself, but also for Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin.

    It is known that they are not dating any of them because they cannot announce that they are dating all three at the same time.

    The four of us often hang out together, so we don’t usually try to hit on each other so blatantly, but it seems like we’ll try to hit on each other once in a while during vacation.

    So, it was one of the subjects of interest in the department to find out which of the three Kim Woo-jin was secretly dating.

    There is also a story that his girlfriend is Oh Yoon-ji.

    “Ahhh! Scooter ride again!”

    A photo posted in a group chat room with four people.

    The message from Yoo Ah-rin is that we are going to the hotel now that we have lunch.

    The moment when Seo Ye-rin gets irritated and pouts.

    A message from Choi Yi-seo.

    – Kim Woo-jin: How are you? I’m sorry.

    – Kim Woo-jin: I’ll go see it tomorrow.

    “… … .”

    Choi Yi-seo put her lips into her mouth. If she didn’t do this, she felt like she would smile without realizing it.

    I just got a text message.

    It’s much more pleasing than dozens of active chats from other people.

    How should I reply?

    You’re probably riding on the back of a scooter right now, so if you hold the chat for too long, your hands will get cold.

    – Choi Yi-seo: Be careful not to get into an accident.

    Okay.

    I sent a reply that was somewhat like Choi Yi-seo.

    Even though she was so satisfied, Seo Ye-rin was smiling sinisterly.

    ‘… … He got it too.’

    Well, I guess he wouldn’t be sending a private message to just himself.

    It’s a little unsatisfactory, but it’s good enough.

    The moment when you drink beer while humming a tune in a good mood.

    Woof! Woof! Woof!

    – Vice Chairman Kim Jae-woon –

    “Huh?”

    Because I had forgotten it in my memory, I didn’t even change the name saved in my phone.

    A call came from Chairman Kim Jae-woon.
