_ The more bad something is, the more attractive it is
Flash. My eyes opened. A familiar ceiling, a familiar blanket, and the unfamiliar Kim Seok-jin sleeping next to me. Yesterday truly felt like my life was shortened by ten years. But then...
How should I deal with Kim Seok-jin now? The future was bleak.
"Kim Seokjin. Wake up."
" ...... "
He opened his eyes at my voice, naturally getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom. What's so casual and natural about him? It hurt his pride. How could he be so calm, knowing we were both second? A million questions crossed my mind, but I didn't really ask them. I'm a corpse without pride.
I hurriedly put on the clothes strewn across the floor and headed to the kitchen. While I was wondering what to make for breakfast, I heard a doorbell ringing in the living room. Huh? It's Kim Seokjin... He's showering right now? What should I do? ... What should I do? I have to tell him.
I headed straight to the bathroom.
Clank. I opened the bathroom door without hesitation.
".......Hey Kim Seokjin, I have a call coming in."
What the hell. You were in the shower? I was so embarrassed I almost passed out, but I pretended to be calm. Kim Seokjin looked quite flustered. Well, I guess that's what happens when the door suddenly opens in the shower...
"Leave it. I'll go out and get it. And knock."
I was thinking, "Yeah, what can I do?" and my mouth was saying, "Sorry."
"What? I saw him last night too. He's not a stranger, he's my boyfriend, even if he's my second..." I repeated this to myself thousands of times. At least I didn't want to feel sorry towards Kim Seokjin.

Seokjin came out of the shower, his hair thoroughly dusted. He went straight to the bedroom, found his phone, and checked his missed calls. Ah... Judging by his expression, it must be from First. He smiled and called First.
"Yeah. Sorry, I was a bit busy last night.. Let's meet up today. Okay, hang up~ I love you."
Haha. This scene where he receives his girlfriend's call in front of her... If someone saw this, they would be amazed and say that he has a Hollywood mindset. Putting that aside, I was really curious about this person named Chae-hee. All I know is her name, Han Chae-hee, and that she's younger than him.
Seokjin finished his call and sat down at the table. He ate the simple soy sauce egg rice, which seemed to suit his taste. Honestly, I couldn't tell if the food was going into my nose or my mouth. My attention was completely focused on his first priority.
..........I don't know. I have to satisfy my curiosity first, regardless of pride or anything.
" ... I'm curious about Chaehee too... You saw my first, show me yours."
"It doesn't matter. Han Chae-hee isn't that jealous anyway."
Where in the world is there a woman who isn't jealous? That guy was a total idiot. How could he be dating two women without knowing how women feel? Oh, his face... Damn it, being handsome is the best. I muttered curses under my breath and nodded my head outwardly. Because I wasn't really interested in his love life.
"Okay. Then let's just kiss roughly. Like coworkers."
"Do whatever you want. You're a good actor."
"Me? I didn't know."
"If you couldn't act, how could you cheat on me without me knowing?"
"...Hey Kim Seokjin. What do you want to say?"
What the heck is this acorn-counting game.... It was funny from the start that these two playboys were talking about acting. I guess this is what they mean when they say "dogin-gae-gin." Before I knew it, I'd finished a whole bowl of rice while having this meaningless conversation. Now I should get ready to meet Chae-hee.
Just as I was about to leave the table, a call rang on my phone. I knew it was Jeon Jungkook, even without looking. It had to be him... Jungkook calling every morning without fail was truly impressive. I answered the phone right away.
"Did you sleep well, Jungkook? Yeah, you too. I have plans in the morning. I'm a girl, I'm a girl. Yeah, see you in the afternoon."
It was just a meaningless call. A quick check-up to see how we slept and a question about whether we could meet today. "Sorry, Jungkook." "Noona's going to see my second's first in the morning... No matter how much I think about it, this situation is just unbelievable. Where else could you find a couple like this?"
"That's fun. Go wash up. I miss Han Chae-hee."
How big is that kid's liver? It seems almost as big as Russia. He said that his two girlfriends were meeting, but seeing him laughing without even blinking, it seemed like there was a screw in his brain... It was a little scary. Okay, I understand.. I said and headed to the bathroom.
-
Yeah, that's why... I'm on my way to see my boyfriend's girlfriend right now. My head was about to explode, but it was fun. What? Am I a bit of a thrill seeker?.. As I was thinking about all sorts of things, I saw a petite, cute woman standing in the distance. Oh. Is that her?
At that moment, Seokjin waved his hand and called out, “Chaehee~,” and the woman looked over.
"You look pretty today. Oh, this is my coworker, Seo Yeo-ju. We're going the same way."
From the very first sentence, it was over the top cringe-worthy. Just a few months ago, I'd been dying for words like that, but I bet you used it with Chaehee first. I feel like the soy sauce egg rice I had this morning is about to come flying out of my mouth again. Haha. I smiled awkwardly and greeted his first.
"Hello. My name is Seo Yeo-ju, a colleague of Kim Seok-jin."
"Hehe. Hello!! My name is Han Chae-hee. The female lead is so pretty.."
Oh my god. So pure and clean... She was just like a fairy. What the? I almost cried because I felt so sorry for Chaehee. How could you cheat on a woman like this? I felt like Kim Seokjin would be innocent even if he was beaten to death. I suppressed my anger towards Kim Seokjin and spoke.
"Chaehee... how can someone be so cute...? Thank you..."
"No!! Haha, you must have worked hard working with Seokjin oppa.. "
Kim Seok-jin really is a fucking idiot. That expression is 100% meant to express jealousy... Why is that kid smiling so brightly? After making cute Chae-hee jealous just now?
This won't do. I have to draw the line on behalf of that kid who doesn't even know how a woman feels.
"Chaehee, it was nice to meet you, even if it was just for a moment. My boyfriend is waiting for me now..."
"Oh my. I'm sorry.. Go quickly! I'll go with you too.. "
As expected. When I told her I had a boyfriend, she relaxed and smiled brightly. How can someone be so lovable?... Why do you date a bad guy like Kim Seokjin? I feel so sorry...
Ah, this isn't the time for me. I hastily greeted her with a smile and quickly left the place.
Two minutes after I left, a message arrived on my phone. Wondering who it was, I checked... and damn it. It was Kim Seokjin.
[ Seokjin ]
I'll call you in the evening. I love you.
