“Woojin, did you perhaps meet up with Dabin?”

Advertisement. “Ad” would be a better expression to shorten it.

Seol Dabin and Baek Seoyeon. I advertised myself with these two women all evening, and as soon as I arrived at Lee Hayoon’s house, I was met with this question.

I met quite a few of Seol Dabin’s “acquaintances” during the roughly 2 hours I was out and about (I’d barely be able to count them on both hands), so I was 100% expecting to hear this question. I deliberately induced it, so the result had to come out.

So that kind of question, which would normally have made me feel cornered because of the many things I was guilty of…

Now I can handle it nonchalantly.

I glanced at Lee Jiyoon’s door, which was tightly closed as if she was playing a game, and answered casually.

“Yeah, I was. How did you know, noona?”

“My friends told me? They said they saw you and Dabin, and the senior who was the student council president, together in Hongdae, so they said hello.”

“…Ah, I guess so. Then the news would have to reach you too. I didn’t tell you on purpose because I thought you might worry.”

I usually don’t care whether I call Lee Hayoon “you” or “noona,” but I think it’s better to call her noona right now.

It’s a relatively simple and effective action among the things I can do to give Lee Hayoon a gentle impression.

And also, I need to pay attention to my facial expressions and actions.

These weren’t too difficult either.

That’s because it was something I had been doing for a year.

“Worry?”

“You told me to avoid running into Dabin-ssi as much as possible, didn’t you? …Because the breakup story might come up.”

“You’re talking about that… Hmm…”

“But, there was a favor I was asked.”

“What favor?”

“The person who is the student council president said that Dabin-ssi is a close junior, and he wanted to comfort her, but it would be nice to have someone to go with him. He said that I have a good reputation among the students and that we happen to know each other.”

“…Well, everyone knows about the double date I had with Dabin last time…”

“I tried to stop him because I thought it was meddling, but… You know, sometimes there are people who stubbornly meddle anyway.”

“Yeah… Haaa…”

If meeting Seol Dabin was a situation that absolutely had to be avoided, this clumsy excuse would have only backfired.

But this time it wasn’t that serious, so Lee Hayoon just sighed and didn’t bother to pry.

Instead.

“…So what happened? What did Dabin say? What did they break up over? Is her expression still not good? Did she even cry?”

She seemed very curious about her friend’s situation.

After tidying up my coat, I leaned back on the living room sofa and brought up the words I had prepared in advance.

“Well… it seems like a pretty big deal.”

“What?!”

Of course, it’s a lie.

597

The story around Stockholm syndrome where she fell for a trashy boyfriend who wants to fuck her for 24 hours until she’s sick of it instead of a perverted boyfriend with a netorare tendency──is obviously not something I would say out loud.

The story I will tell Lee Hayoon is a bit brighter and more ordinary than that.

Minor complaints accumulate behind the name of ‘understanding.’

Annoyances increase behind the name of ‘consideration.’

Distrust arises behind the name of ‘trust.’

Unpleasant concessions continue behind the name of ‘apology.’

A story of how these inconveniences one day devour the feeling of love.

In other words, it could be seen as a trivial story that is all over the place.

“What? Really?”

…Although Lee Hayoon, who is listening right next to me, was busy with various reactions as if she was watching a morning drama.

“You have to keep it a secret. Dabin-ssi will probably just pretend to be okay, saying that they broke up for a minor reason, so if rumors spread, I’ll be in trouble too.”

“Of course! It’s her personal life, so of course I won’t tell anyone… …By the way, her boyfriend was really bad! How could he do that to his girlfriend?”

“Well, they’re also childhood friends. I guess it’s because they got too used to each other?”

“Even if they’re used to each other…”

“If you think about it, I’m always ordering you around, noona. Like with the honorifics.”

“Th, that’s… ……That’s because I…, um, feel good…so…”

The story of how could he ask his girlfriend to film a netorare video-

Became a vague story of how could he force his sexual preferences on his girlfriend.

It’s the result of coordinating with Seol Dabin to make it easy to memorize.

And of course, I also added negative explanations about Baek Jiho, who is a childhood friend, in various other ways.

The reason is to make Seol Dabin look as pitiful as possible to Lee Hayoon.

For example, this was the case.

“Ah, anyway! He’s such a bad person. I didn’t see him that way.”

“It would have been hard for him to do that in front of others. When he was alone with Dabin-ssi… …Because it’s such a familiar relationship. I think this is the reason.”

“Maybe that’s it… But still…”

“……”

“…What her boyfriend did, isn’t that date violence?”

Date violence.

As far as I know, Baek Jiho didn’t do anything like that.

It’s just that rather than ‘a man who was dumped after asking his girlfriend to film a video of him fucking her like an animal with his dick hard,’

I thought that ‘a man who did something terrible to his girlfriend and was dumped’ would be a little more honorable.

And this would be better for eliciting Lee Hayoon’s sympathy.

Even if Lee Hayoon can’t help but tell her friends.

Even if this story gets into Baek Jiho’s ears.

Because this rumor is better than what actually happened, he will just accept it.

I sighed for a moment, pretending to feel sorry for Seol Dabin, and continued the lie with the name tag of consideration without a care.

“Haa… I think that’s probably the case. And if you think about the possibility that Dabin-ssi told me and the student council president everything as it is…”

“…Maybe she was treated even worse than what we heard.”

“…I hope not, but…”

“Hmm…”

Fortunately, Lee Hayoon seemed to believe my words completely.

Sometimes a lie that is realistically seasoned is more plausible than the truth as it is.

Lee Hayoon, who had been sighing deeply for a while following me, said to herself as she leaned her head on my shoulder, which was right next to her, a little later.

“……That’s really too bad. Dabin.”

“……”

That’s enough.

*****

A little later, in the dark early morning.

After checking Lee Hayoon’s cute, snorting breaths as she curled up and fell asleep, I took Lee Jiyoon out to the living room for a moment to tell her the story I had prepared.

Apparently, she has been living as a night owl for a long time, so every time this happens, she always rushes in, saying let’s do it one more time in secret from her sister.

It wasn’t difficult to bring her out.

“What do you think will happen if noona finds out about what happened between me and your senior?”

“Are you crazy? …Don’t tell me you’re going to tell her honestly?”

…The problem is that as soon as I started talking, Lee Jiyoon, in her pajamas, gave me the sharp-tongued remark that I was crazy.

Honestly, I had nothing to say, so I just twitched my eyebrows once and continued the story.

“I admit it’s a crazy thing to say. I admit it, but we can’t keep meeting while hiding our relationship like this.”

“……”

“…I even heard that she broke up with her boyfriend.”

If she was a normal person, she would naturally have these concerns.

Of course, if she was a normal person, she wouldn’t have sex with someone else’s girlfriend just because she was slightly threatened.

…When I think about it, if that was the case, it would have been out of the question to touch her girlfriend’s younger sister in the first place.

Anyway.

“I know what you’re trying to say, Seo Woojin, but there’s no way unnie would readily say OK. Don’t you remember what happened to me?”

“That’s why I’m asking you. What do you think will happen if noona finds out?”

“…Of course she’ll hate it. Do I really have to imagine it…”

“I guess so…”

“Besides, Dabin sunbae is a very close friend of unnie, right? …Even if I think about it again, I think she’ll hate it.”

“……”

After listening to Lee Jiyoon’s opinion, I paused and asked.

“Then, what about you?”

“…What?”

“Aside from the thought that noona will hate it, what about you?”

“Me… I don’t really care? We’ve already done it together…”

“Then Lee Jiyoon, there’s a favor I want to ask you…”

“…Don’t tell me you’re going to ask me to help persuade unnie?”

“…Yeah.”

“…So, you’re going to openly get permission from unnie for a two-timing relationship… And with a very close friend of unnie, as I said earlier…”

“…That’s right.”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“Can you help me? Or, do you hate it?”

“…It’s annoying, but, well. Then just one thing. I want you to promise me just one thing I want to do.”

“What is it?”

“Wait, just get your ear close so unnie can’t hear it…”

“……”

“……How about it? Don’t you like this kind of thing too?”

“…Do you really want to see something like that?”

“Why? …Doesn’t this turn you on?”

“No, that’s not what I meant… Haa…”

“You might be a little worried about unnie, but this is so fucking hot to me?”

“I know. There’s no way I wouldn’t know your taste. I’ve been seeing it for a year now.”

“Then hurry up and answer. Are you going to do it? Or not? If you just answer that you will…”

“……”

“…I’ll help you persuade unnie too.”

“…I’ll do it.”

“Really? You promised you’d do it?”

“Yeah.”
