Ex-boyfriend's obsession

10. The Disruptor 2

When Jaehyun heard the doorbell, he left the room for a moment, leaving me behind.

Who is it at this hour..?

Anyway, I guess that's a good thing. I was scared for a moment because they said it was a punishment.

명재현

...What's going on at this hour, sister?

Suddenly, I heard Jaehyun's voice and leaned against the door to eavesdrop on the conversation.

정여은

Jaehyun...

정여은

Can you let me stay at your house for just one day?

...uh?

It's Yeo-eun's voice...

명재현

What are you talking about now?

명재현

Just let me stay for one day.

정여은

Literally.

정여은

The truth is, I was kicked out of my house...

정여은

I have nowhere to go. The only house I know is yours.

정여은

We have to do the team project anyway.

정여은

...no?

명재현

(sigh) Ha..

명재현

Okay, sis.

...?

Did he just say he understood?

...I'm home right now?

정여은

Thank you, Jaehyun! (laughs)

명재현

Just one day. No more than that.

정여은

Yeah! Okay, I understand.

정여은

...Let's do a team project now.

명재현

...okay.

So I waited for Jaehyun to do his homework.

Then, when I needed to go to the bathroom, I opened the door slightly...

Uh, that's...

What the hell are you doing?!

...

I covered my mouth and closed the door without making a sound.

명재현

(Loudly) Sister, what are you doing?

정여은

I love you, Jaehyun.

명재현

(with a dumbfounded expression) What?

명재현

Sister, we're not lovers.

정여은

Then let's date.

정여은

I'll do it well!

명재현

...I have a girlfriend.

정여은

Are you lying?

명재현

I'm serious.

정여은

...

정여은

Okay. Then let's finish our homework.

...I cried quietly in my room.

I think it's probably because of jealousy.

I guess I liked Jaehyun more than I thought.

...

(sound of door opening) CLACK-

(sound of door closing) thump-

(sound of door locking) CLACK-

명재현

...

명재현

(whispering) Are you okay?

명재현

Why are you crying?

김여주

(whispering) I..

김여주

I've seen it all.

김여주

The two of them are kissing.

As soon as Jaehyun heard what I said, he hugged me.

명재현

Heroine... You may not believe it, but this is also a misunderstanding.

김여주

...so,

김여주

Where is Yeo-eun?

명재현

In another room.

김여주

Ah.. I see.

김여주

What made you think that?

명재현

...

명재현

I brought it in because I thought it would be fun.

For a moment I doubted my ears.

What? Fun?

김여주

...What fun?

side-

김여주

...what are you doing..

명재현

Lady.

명재현

I'm sorry.

김여주

Uh, what are you sorry about?

명재현

For making you see that.

김여주

It wasn't something you wanted to do. It's okay.

명재현

...Yeah, thanks.

김여주

...What kind of fun are you talking about?

명재현

...

명재현

Thrilling... doesn't it seem like it'd be fun?

김여주

(bewildered) What?

명재현

...There's only one thing I can say to you. Shut your mouth somehow.

So we,

I stayed up all night.

* morning *

dripping-

정여은

Jaehyun, are you still sleeping?

정여은

...(grabbing the doorknob and making a rattling sound) Why is the door locked?

정여은

I'll go to school first.

(sound of going out) bang-

김여주

...

김여주

Jaehyun, do you not have to go out?

명재현

...huh.

명재현

If you pay attention to that older sister, you'll cry again.

김여주

Hey, that's not why!

명재현

(Laughs) Then why did you cry?

명재현

Are you crying because you think I'll be stolen?

김여주

...

김여주

Right..

명재현

(Laughs) I'm grateful that you like me so much.

명재현

...Ah, I don't want to go to class.

명재현

We're going to miss class today... Oh, that won't work.

김여주

Yeah, if I miss this time, it's an F.

명재현

...I can't help it.

명재현

Let's get ready quickly and go.

As soon as I entered the classroom,

Seongho Oppa greets you warmly.

박성호

Lady!

박성호

Did you sleep well yesterday?

박성호

There's one part of the assignment that I think needs to be revised.

김여주

Ah.. Edit?

김여주

Which part?

I went and sat down next to Seongho oppa.

I felt sorry for Jaehyun though...

박성호

...this part here,

박성호

How about changing it like this?

김여주

Oh, that's good.

김여주

Then let's do it like this!

박성호

(Laughs) Okay.

명재현

(Approaching) Lady, is it okay now?

명재현

Let's sit over there.

김여주

Huh? Okay.

김여주

(looking at Seongho) See you next time, oppa.

박성호

Yeah. Have a nice day~

I sat in the back row with Jaehyun.

명재현

...(whispering) I'm jealous.

김여주

(Laughs) Why, because of homework?

명재현

Still~.. Am I crying too?

...I wondered if I could have such a peaceful and happy school life.

That wasn't it.

* 1 year later *

???

Senior Myung Jae-hyun, you are so handsome!!

???

That's right.. why don't you become an idol?!

...

Jaehyun became famous through word of mouth among the freshmen and became a school celebrity again.
