As I avoided contact, I naturally drifted apart from Hyunsu. Since Hyunsu had always been such a small part of me, nothing much changed in my life.
I was still a successful lawyer. What changed was that I worked a little harder, that's all?
Tiring ringing ...
"hello."
I picked up the phone thinking it was a consultation call.
"Uh... it's me"
I was momentarily startled by her voice on the other end of the line. But even that was only for a moment, so I decided to pretend I didn't know her.
"Who are you?"
"Are you calling to schedule a consultation?"
"In that case, it would be faster to talk to my secretary."
"Oh... It's not for the consultation, I just called to see if we could have lunch together tomorrow."
"I don't eat with anyone except for work-related matters. If you have nothing to say, I'll hang up."
"Haha.. You've changed a lot, Seokjin. You weren't this stiff before.. Did you see me at Hyunsoo's wedding?"
I was a little annoyed that she seemed to be wasting my time, and the sudden mention of a wedding was absurd.
"Oh, but why?"
"Ah... I wonder why you came. We're not that close."
"If I had known you were the bride, of course I wouldn't have gone."
"Ha.. I see.."
"what"
"I heard a rumor going around these days that you still like me. I wanted to check that out, so I contacted you... and judging by your reaction, I think it's true."
What the heck is this... I'm so delusional that I still like myselfIt was pitiful.
I wondered why such rumors were circulating. After thinking about it, I concluded that it was probably because of my attitude at the wedding.
"Don't get that wrong. It's disgusting."
"And don't contact me again, I'll hang up."
Thump-
I thought I wouldn't get another call after saying that.
