.

How did you two get close?

The answer to that question usually concludes with, ‘I’m not quite sure?’

Unless there was a special event that would only be found in a novel, friendships are usually formed for reasons like ‘it just happened naturally’.

Therefore, most people don’t attach much weight to the name friend.

The thoughts of students who are just entering puberty might be different, but anyway.

If you’ve met for the first time, now you are someone I know.

If you are in an awkward relationship through someone I know, you are an acquaintance.

If you feel conversation has become somewhat comfortable, you are a friend.

Even dividing it like this happens because you try to divide it, but there are many people who don’t pay any attention to it normally.

That’s why──

A short lunch break on Monday, which arrived after the embarrassing weekend had completely passed.

Sul Dabin, who received a question from an office senior she was acquainted with, was also feeling a very strange sensation right now.

“Dabin-ssi. Are you and Jiyoon perhaps something? …You two seemed very close.”

Why does he call me ‘Dabin-ssi’ respectfully but call Jiyoon informally? Is he scared of me?

…This part was also bothering her, but it wasn’t why she felt that strange feeling.

Since similar things happened often, she was used to this now.

What Sul Dabin was conscious of right now was,

Why the senior suddenly asked something like that.

“With Jiyoon? …Just senior-junior?”

“Ah, I roughly know that you’re senior-junior, but….”

“…”

Trailing off her sentence, the senior then naturally took a sip of the instant coffee he was holding to appear natural.

Only the senior knows the truth, but at least in Sul Dabin’s eyes, it looked like this.

…By the way, what relationship are you in with Jiyoon? Suddenly?

Sul Dabin, who chewed over the question, let out a small groan after a moment.

Lee Jiyoon. Herself. Senior-junior. What relationship.

She rolled these keywords around in her head, but she still couldn’t understand the senior’s real meaning.

The senior right next to her who just asked the question was someone she had seen during the summer vacation half a year ago.

Someone with a gentle impression, who, one day when Sul Dabin was sighing heavily because of Seo Woojin, thought someone at the office was bothering her and tried to help.

Since he’s that kind of senior, she wondered if he was asking because he was worried about something again…

Is there something that would warrant that?

Since there was no way to know from a third party’s perspective, it was still a mystery.

“Is there something that makes you think that? Why do we seem close…?”

Therefore, Sul Dabin asked directly.

She hated things that made her head hurt.

“Ah, that… Um… …It’s something very difficult to say to the person concerned, but….”

The senior scratched his cheek with his index finger and continued speaking.

“Of course I know you two are close. Everyone naturally knows you’re close because you’re in a senior-junior relationship.”

“……”

“But today, you see. You two keep whispering something and talking. And then getting flustered. And your faces getting red and all… So… Among people, the talk is that you two are really, really close~.”

“……Senior.”

“Yes, yes.”

“…We’re not that kind of relationship.”

“R-right? Of course?”

“……”

“…This is the second time this has happened.”

“What is?”

“It’s nothing. Nothing at all.”

Sul Dabin relayed exactly what she heard from the senior to Lee Jiyoon.

From afar, it was true that there was definitely room for misunderstanding here and there.

Of course, such a rumor hadn’t caused any significant disruption to their daily lives yet, but it would be much better to cut it off in the middle rather than letting a baseless misunderstanding spread far and wide.

Isn’t it a world where if you try to ignore crazy people, you’ll just end up looking like an idiot?

So, on her way back after sincerely asking the senior not to have such disgusting misunderstandings because it made her feel bad.

Sul Dabin, who was sitting across from Lee Jiyoon and talking, suddenly stared at the junior in front of her.

“……”

Now that she thought about it.

The day before yesterday, Saturday.

When she, Jiyoon, and even Seo Woojin were lounging around together.

…For reasons like ‘that pervert likes it or something’.

She had kissed her several times.

“…Why are you looking? Is there something on my face…?”

“Ah, no. Just thinking about something.”

While doing a cleaning fellatio together, Jiyoon, who had semen in her mouth, suddenly pressed her lips against hers.

She then received the semen and swallowed it, and was told as if it were obvious that it was ‘something I often did with Unnie’.

While she was being eaten out by Seo Woojin, lying on the bed, Jiyoon covered her panting lips with her own.

…She wondered if this was something she often did with Hayoon too.

Getting swept up in the mood and tangling tongues with Jiyoon until she was ejaculated inside.

She had become accustomed to that kind of sex too.

Directly in front of Seo Woojin.

Jiyoon’s nipples.

Fingering her cli…oris,

Even when she heard the voice calling out Senior- Senior- in an agonizing way.

Ignoring it.

The act of caressing her until wetness squirted onto Seo Woojin’s body.

How could she forget these actions that happened just a few dozen hours ago?

…Rather, it felt like they would remain vividly in her mind even after several years.

“I wondered why everyone was looking at me strangely today. I thought it was because everyone was being careful after I was scolded by the director last time…”

“…Even if we know what we talked about among ourselves, other people…”

“It must look strange. Haa…”

“……”

However, she couldn’t spend the entire day worrying about what happened on Saturday.

Doing those things with Jiyoon wasn’t the goal, but a process, wasn’t it?

…Now that she shared an embarrassing secret with Jiyoon, it was time to move forward once again.

Sul Dabin, who swallowed to quell her nervousness, hesitated and spoke.

“Um, how is Hayoon?”

“My Unnie?”

“…I was wondering if there was any reaction or anything at all.”

“Well. When I went back after killing time appropriately at the PC room, she was right in the middle of having sex with Seo Woojin.”

“…Does he still have something left for Hayoon after ejaculating like that?”

“On weekends, he sometimes does it all day long. …I’d think it would be normal to feel sore after doing it that much, but since that pervert bastard uses his strength in strange places, it doesn’t really hurt.”

Come to think of it, he asked me for advice once because he was having trouble from having too much sex…

Since he had done what he did, I thought he was serious, but hearing it again from Jiyoon felt different somehow.

Therefore, Sul Dabin cleared her throat pointlessly and cautiously looked around.

Fortunately, perhaps because it was next to the vending machine in a corner of the office, not a single trace of other people’s presence could be felt.

“Then that means Hayoon still doesn’t know anything…?”

“Probably. …My Unnie, even when Seo Woojin was cheating on her with me, she didn’t seem to know until I intentionally hinted at it.”

“Mmm…”

If that’s true, then that’s a relief.

Getting caught by Hayoon before revealing her relationship with Seo Woojin herself is the worst-case scenario.

Therefore, it means there’s still a chance.

If so.

“Um, I don’t know if it’s okay to ask this question…”

“…Is it a difficult question?”

“A little…?”

“…Let me hear it first.”

To prepare for the future.

She asked one thing she was curious about.

“Jiyoon, how on earth… …no, how did you get permission from Hayoon?”

“Oh, that…”

Honestly, she thought it was a very difficult question, but Jiyoon started explaining what happened back then nonchalantly, as if it were nothing.

Since she was retrieving it directly from her mind, her words were a bit rambling, but to summarize, Hayoon, feeling pity for her younger sister, made a concession─it could be summarized as such.

Jiyoon had never dated a boyfriend before.

She naturally ended up spending more time with Seo Woojin, who started dating her Unnie.

They played games together often.

He even treated the headaches she had suffered from for a long time.

…Though minor, they were also blood-related sisters.

By chance, the two people’s preferences were similar.

So Hayoon slightly made a concession. …Something like that.

She roughly understood what it was.

“……”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t something Sul Dabin could refer to.

Jiyoon could rely on the fact that they were blood-related family…

Sul Dabin only had the affection of a friend.

Where would there be a girl who would be okay with sharing her boyfriend with a friend?

The nuances are a bit different, but she had seen friends whose relationship became very awkward because of changing partners.

But sharing.

She had honestly never seen it even once.

“But why are you asking this?”

“Oh, just! Just curious.”

Even if she became a little closer to Jiyoon as Seo Woojin said…, would it really be okay?

What on earth is he thinking…?

Ugh…

….

*****

“…Dabin? Why Dabin?”

“She’s doing her internship at the same place as Jiyoon. So I’ve been seeing her a lot lately.”

“Hmmm~? Really?”

“Since I have to meet her often when I go to pick up Jiyoon… …Every time, I subtly get concerned.”

“Well. I only used to talk to Dabin often when I was at the academy, but now I mostly contact her through smartphone or… Just drinking with friends? That’s it. I don’t know about what you asked.”

“Right… You’ve been staying home often lately.”

“Ugh…! It’s because of you…! How much do they tease me for not being able to go out when my friends say they’re hanging out, because I’m playing with you…?! How much sex… are you doing…? Are you saying dating is that good…?”

“Anyway, you don’t really know anything, do you, Unnie?”

“Yeah. For now, it’s news to me…”

“Really?”

“Hmmm… Dabin… Hmmm…”

“……”

“Did something bad happen to Dabin…? Maybe it’s better to ask Jiyoon…?”

“Ah, that’s a good idea.”

“I’ll also try to hint at it subtly later if I get a chance.”

“No. I just asked because I was a little concerned, that’s all, like her expression has been a bit off lately. That’s all.”

“Really? …Okay.”

“If I find out later, I’ll let you know too, Unnie.”

“Okay.”
