Fortunately.

Unlike Woo-jin or Ji-yoon, I didn’t have many opportunities to run into Da-bin.

If I wanted to meet her, I could always make an appointment, but without such an appointment, it was rare to run into her naturally.

Da-bin’s house is a few stops away from here, and even the office, which is closer, isn’t right next door; you have to walk a bit.

The distance between home and the academy is quite close, but still. This wasn’t a big concern.

It’s not like I’m a teacher like Woo-jin. Unless there’s a supplementary class, what reason would I have to go to the academy during vacation?

Maybe to use the various facilities? Just about that?

In other words, if I deliberately avoided meeting Da-bin, I could avoid running into her until the end of the vacation.

This time, Woo-jin or Ji-yoon had to be careful, more than me.

“Got it?”

“I got it. You just mean don’t talk about my boyfriend in front of Da-bin sunbae.”

Especially Ji-yoon, who is answering so listlessly like this right now.

My younger sibling learned how to communicate with people on the internet, not at school.

I think it’s best to keep her in check as much as possible.

Woo-jin will take care of it, so I’m not worried about him….

…She might really cause a big accident.

Besides, when she first heard this, she took off her headset and even asked if it was true in a daze, didn’t she?

So even though she’s acting so listless now, she might be thinking something else inside.

For example, if she meets Da-bin at the office, she might secretly ask her….

Haaah….

“The conclusion is right, but…, …ugh, why do I feel so uneasy?”

“I’m not an idiot; would I bring up my boyfriend in front of someone who recently broke up?”

“I think you would….”

“Ah, seriously…. I’ll take care of it, so get out of my room. Lee Ha-yoon.”

“…You’ve gotten quite used to calling me ‘unnie,’ wouldn’t it hurt you to just call me that? It’s shorter, too?”

“That’s what I say to get Seo Woo-jin excited, okay? …I’ll call you ‘unnie’ later if I feel like it, so just get out of here.”

“You’re crazy….”

Will it be okay?

Even though Ji-yoon is an outsider with no friends, will it be okay?

Even though she’s such a selfish girl, will she be okay in front of someone who isn’t family?

I can’t stop worrying, but there’s nothing I can do by worrying alone here.

All that’s left is to pray to various gods that Ji-yoon doesn’t make a mistake.

Therefore, after nagging and rolling around on Ji-yoon’s bed, I glanced at my younger sibling’s back as she was diligently shooting a gun in the game and left the room.

“…You really can’t do it?”

“Ah, seriously, I said I got it…!”

“Really, truly, absolutely don’t…….”

“Hey, Lee Ha-yoon, what do you think of me…….”

595

“Sunbae, did you break up with your boyfriend?”

“Huh, yeah?”

“My unnie suddenly started talking about this last night.”

“…….”

“Is it because of Seo Woo-jin, by any chance?”

About three or four days after hearing about a troublesome plan from Seo Woo-jin.

At a timing when I thought it was about time, Ji-yoon finally asked about that ‘rumor.’

Right after running into me in front of the office.

She checked to see if anyone was listening, and then immediately.

Seo Woo-jin said he hadn’t told Ji-yoon anything, so it’s natural that she’s curious about the rumor.

On top of that, Seo Woo-jin said, ‘If Lee Ji-yoon feels like it, she’ll be on your side later,’ so I had prepared myself to some extent.

…Is it okay to say she’s too unreserved?

Usually, wouldn’t people hesitate a lot at times like this before barely saying anything?

In the case of my unnie, Ha-yoon, wouldn’t she try to avoid me altogether?

Unlike my thoughts, Ji-yoon asked so aggressively that I first gave her a vague answer.

“…That’s what happened.”

“Is it really because of Seo Woo-jin?”

“There are several reasons…. …About 80% of it. Yeah.”

“I guess, having bad-mouthing sex with Seo Woo-jin feels the best in the world….”

“Uh, um…. More than that….”

“Then, was it that you liked the three of us doing it more than the sense of guilt? Somehow, you were more active than I thought back then….”

“L, let’s go inside…! We can talk inside.”

“Ah. Okay.”

…In the midst of all that, because of Ji-yoon’s choice of words.

And because her voice got a little louder because she was excited, all the passersby’s eyes were on us.

In the end, I couldn’t tell her everything.

“Hello, good morning….”

Seo Woo-jin taught me the pleasure of being loved – I guess an answer like that is a bit cheesy.

So I should just say that I like having sex with Seo Woo-jin too much – it’s not that different from the truth anyway.

Then, I should subtly gauge the atmosphere and continue the story that I planned with Seo Woo-jin.

Therefore, I completely hid the story I had with Ji-yoon outside the building just now, and I was greeting the office staff as if nothing had happened.

“Oh my, Da-bin student and Ji-yoon student. You happened to be here.”

The leader of the hero office ‘Goblin Fire.’

I bowed politely because I ran into Park Ji-won on the first floor.

I don’t know if she’s rotating between two or three identical suits, but today she’s wearing a familiar ivory suit as usual.

“Hello, director.”

“…Were you looking for us?”

“Ah, to be exact, I was looking for Ji-yoon student. The friend next to you might feel sad to hear that, but….”

“What’s this about…?”

“Well, one of my close magic circle sunbae-nims in Daegu is on vacation right now? But she happened to be curious about Ji-yoon student.”

“Daegu…. Magic circle…, come to think of it, among the numbering….”

“Yes, yes. That unnie is in Seoul right now….”

“…….”

I was wondering why the director was looking for Ji-yoon from the morning, but it seems that a famous hero is interested in Ji-yoon.

Well, Ji-yoon is the top student in the first year. It’s worth keeping an eye on her from various places.

Especially if they are in the same magic circle.

Unfortunately, the flow of the conversation will be cut off, but it’s okay.

The story I planned with Seo Woo-jin can be done later when Ji-yoon comes back.

Besides, if I don’t have time, there’s a way to reveal it using my smartphone.

I was just going to send Ji-yoon away without regret.

“…Hmm….”

“……?”

Ji-yoon is the only one showing a lukewarm reaction.

…I was wondering if she looked more sparkly when we were talking about racy things earlier – I thought for a moment.

First of all, social life comes first.

I whispered in her ear.

“Aren’t you going?”

“…Do I have to go?”

“You have to go…? Maybe?”

“Haa…. I just want to talk to sunbae….”

“Still, you have to choose the time and place….”

“…Then I’ll go and come back later….”

“…….”

“…….”

…After that, other employees asked questions hesitantly, like sunbae did a few days ago.

If I had known that I would blush to clear up misunderstandings.

I would have been more careful in choosing my words.

*****

Rumors are faster than words.

A word without feet goes a thousand miles.

As these proverbs mean, I had already expected that the rumor that started from Senior Seo-yeon would spread quickly.

What’s more, it’s someone else’s love story.

Someone else’s love story is as fun as watching a fire.

So I didn’t think much of the fact that Ji-yoon heard about it quickly.

“Excuse me, sunbae-nim. I’ll pay for what I ate….”

“No, no, no. It’s okay. Put it away. Where would a student get money?”

“Last time, you said that sunbae-nim’s meal expenses were only about 8,000 to 9,000 won per day, so it was difficult to buy….”

“But I’m a little more comfortable than a student. Just say thank you and accept it.”

“……Thank you. I’ll buy you a meal next time.”

“Hey, a junior to a senior? It’s not like a date application…, ah, uh, I’m joking, I’m joking!”

“…….”

Even the sunbae-nim, who always insisted on Dutch pay every lunch time, suddenly offered this ‘consideration.’

I’m honestly a little scared of how far the rumors have spread.

My friends all know that I’m doing an internship here, so maybe this sunbae-nim heard about it from a junior who knows her?

You told me to be careful when talking about my boyfriend in front of me?

She’s even passing this rumor on to other people, and then passing it on again….

“Haaah….”

Everyone at the office who’s not even involved knows about it.

In the midst of all that, there’s even a misunderstanding with Ji-yoon….

…Everything else is fine, but

This is somehow tiring.

“I’ll go in first. You’re thinking of smoking, right?”

“Yeah, yeah. Go first. They said there’s no schedule yet in the afternoon, so rest.”

I broke up with Baek Ji-ho. It was a story I had to tell my friends someday anyway.

I allowed Seo Woo-jin’s actions because I knew that, but I didn’t know the aftermath would be so great.

…Should I really stay quiet for a few days?

I came back with various thoughts and laid down on the office sofa.

“……?”

It was then.

The quiet smartphone vibrated briefly, so I slowly rummaged through my pocket.

When I checked, there was a message from Seo Woo-jin.

A message that said ‘What happened?’ was stuck in a speech bubble.

…What should I do?

Should I just reply that Ji-yoon also knows about the rumor?

Or should I reply that she’s quite a pervert, just like you said, and her reaction was subtly good?

I didn’t know what to do, so I ended up writing both down as if I were packing rice tightly and sent the message.

After a moment, a message that was quite different from my long message arrived on my smartphone again.

[Seo Woo-jin]

– Then can we meet for a while today?

A message from a kind-hearted health teacher,

Wanting to comfort

A girl who has heard the rumor that she broke up with her boyfriend.

[Seo Woo-jin]

– The reason we talked about before.

– I want to make it.

…Blatantly suggesting an affair,

So Seo Woo-jin-like.

A foolish message.
