"My girlfriend wants you"

I froze at Jaehyun's words, and then I found myself locking eyes with the woman who was glaring at me.

'what...?'

"What, you said we were friends earlier!"

명재현

"Is that so? I guess I forgot the woman in front."

After saying those words, Jaehyun, who had been putting a rose in the woman's hand, turned his back and came back to me with a bright smile on his face.

"You won't misunderstand now, will you?"

'That's not what I meant...'

It shook again.

I wanted to believe it was a joke, I wanted to be sure of it, but seeing Jaehyun unexpectedly acting up again made me feel confused.

이영서

"Hey, Myung Jae-hyun, don't do that to Yeo-ju~"

At that moment, Yeong-seo, who had just finished cleaning up and was approaching with Yeon-jun, linked arms with me and said to Jae-hyun with a frown.

Then Jaehyun answers with his eyes wide open.

명재현

"What are you doing?"

이영서

"Don't play with the heroine's heart."

It was not Jaehyun but I who was embarrassed by Yeongseo's words.

I opened my mouth to ask a question when Yeongseo's words sounded like she was indirectly telling me that I had feelings for Jaehyun...

"Hey, aren't you going?"

Before I could even raise my voice, Yeonjun's words brought the whole situation to a halt.

이영서

"Let's go! Let's go!"

I was dragged away from my seat by Youngseo, who was pulling my arm and making me walk. I turned my head and looked at Jaehyun.

Then, I suddenly saw Jaehyun lifting his cell phone, showing it to me, then turning around and walking away.

오여주

"Jaehyun isn't going with you?"

이영서

"Ah~ Jaehyun is eating with Yewon."

오여주

"Ah... we're going separately."

이영서

"Yeah, oh, didn't you know? You dated Myung Jae-hyun and Choi Ye-won. It's not like you broke up badly, so you probably still have feelings for each other, right?"

I shut my mouth at Youngseo's words.

I couldn't bring myself to open my mouth because I heard an exceptional story along with the facts I already knew.

I didn't want to feel awkward or get hurt by hearing useless news after only knowing each other for a few days.

이영서

"Jaehyun is so nice to his female friends that he gets misunderstood a lot... I don't know how he feels about you, so should I sneak a peek?"

I immediately responded to Youngseo's question.

오여주

"are you okay"

이영서

"Why? Don't you have feelings for Jaehyun?"

In response to Youngseo's question, I kept my mouth shut and shook my head from side to side.

Then, Yeongseo pouts and turns her head away as if she has lost interest.

Honestly, I was curious, but I didn't want to know.

At that moment, Yeongseo carefully observed my expression and spoke in a quiet voice so that only I could hear.

I didn't know my own heart yet, so I didn't want to put on airs before I was sure of it.

I just wanted to stay like this for a little longer.

'If you stay a little longer, one of two things will become clear: either you get used to it or it becomes uncomfortable...'

...

Tiring

-Can we meet up for a bit after you're done with the kids?

...

이영서

"Yeonjun, should we eat this and go to the bloodbath?"

While eating tteokbokki at a snack bar, Yeongseo, feeling a little disappointed when she almost finished eating, tries to persuade Yeonjun to hang out with her some more.

Yeong-seo, who found Yeon-jun chewing food in his mouth without answering Yeong-seo's question, immediately turned to me and Seo-yoon and asked.

이영서

"How's the bloodbath, guys?"

문서윤

"call"

Yeongseo looks at me as soon as she hears Seoyoon's answer.

I didn't really want to go.

Moreover, since there was no one to teach me the game, I wasn't confident that I would have fun even if I went there.

오여주

"Sorry, I'm so tired today, I think I should go in and rest."

In the end, I refused.

Yeongseo, who had been pouting at my words, soon turned her head toward Yeonjun and asked...

이영서

"Yeonjun, what about you?"

Yeonjun, who had quietly taken out a tissue and wiped his mouth at Yeongseo's question and was getting ready to leave, looked at me and answered.

"I'm tired too. Let's go, Yeoju."

After saying that, Yeonjun got up from his seat, paid the bill, and left the store.

At that moment, the chilling atmosphere made me feel like I would stop breathing at any moment.

At that moment, Seoyoon's voice broke the silence.

문서윤

"Hey, Choi Yeonjun, is this the first or second time you've done something like that? Let's go together."

With those words, Seoyoon gets up from her seat and goes outside.

So, with Yeongseo and I left, I slowly packed my bags and tried to get up from my seat.

At that moment.

"What's going on with Yeonjun?"

Are you starting to see the development?
