Ex-boyfriend's obsession
7. Pain


There was a rumor that I was in Eta,

The distance between me and Myung Jae-hyun has definitely grown.

People's criticism of me has also decreased.

Yeah, this is what I wanted.

I can finally have a quiet school life..

교수
Myung Jae-hyun.

교수
...Isn't there a student named Myung Jae-Hyeon?

교수
Does anyone know anything about student Myung Jae-Hyeon?

???
I heard Jaehyun was sick. He didn't come to school yesterday either.

교수
...is it so?

교수
Who is Myung Jae-hyun's closest friend?

...

정여은
Me!

교수
ah...

교수
Are there any male classmates?

???
Me!

교수
Um, would you like to go to student Myung Jae-hyun's house?

???
I don't even know your home address.

교수
Go ask your teaching assistant. I'll tell you what to do.

???
Ah, yes.

...are you in a lot of pain?

It wasn't something I cared about.

As I was leaving school to go home,

???
That... that...

김여주
yes?

김여주
Me?

???
Oh, yes..

???
I have some urgent assignments to attend to, so would you mind going to Jaehyun's house instead of me?

김여주
Why do you have to tell me...

김여주
I broke up with Jaehyun.

???
I know.. I know..

???
I can't think of anyone to ask..

김여주
If it's Jaehyun's level, you can just grab anyone and say,

김여주
Do you think it will be okay?

???
Ah.. but your home address is personal information..

???
Who wouldn't want someone spreading rumors?

???
Even though she's my ex-girlfriend now, I'd like to ask you a favor.

under...

I'm so frustrated. What should I do?

정여은
I'll go!!

???
...yes?

정여은
I'm close with that Myung Jae-hyun.

정여은
I will go since it seems like the lady is busy too.

???
...ah.

???
(looking at me) Are you okay?

김여주
Yes, it's okay.

김여주
Yeo-eun, please go instead. Thank you.

I left them both behind.

* Next day *

Myung Jae-hyun still hasn't come to school,

Yeo-eun kept her shirt unbuttoned as if she was showing off something around her neck.

All that was left on her neck was a red lip print.

Myung Jae-hyun... You acted like you couldn't let me go.

You let it go so easily.

???
Wow, Yeo-eun. What is that?

정여은
this?

정여은
(Laughs) I was a real legend yesterday.

???
Why, why, what's going on?

정여은
I went to Myung Jae-hyun's house yesterday...

정여은
He was so happy to see me.

???
Oh my gosh!! Myung Jaehyun?!

???
Did we become like that in one day?

???
No... how long has it been since we broke up?

정여은
Uh~ maybe?

정여은
I guess it'll take a little longer to get out of school.

정여은
It seemed like he was in a lot of pain.

???
If it's a cold or something, didn't you catch it too?

???
Hey hey, don't approach Yeo-eun. You'll catch a cold!! Haha

정여은
(Laughs) Oh, what are you talking about~

...

Since Yeo-eun is showing off that on her neck,

Criticism of Myung Jae-hyun began to emerge from ETA.

: Wow, goosebumps. It hasn't been that long since MJH broke up with GGJ.

: MJH left a hickey on someone named Jㅇㅇ?

: ㅁㅈㅎ I didn't see him like that, he was a strange guy.

: Wow, disappointing.. Then the reason you were cold to G.O.J. was because of J.O.J? Why did you date in the first place?

Myung Jae-hyun also saw this and the period of time he did not come to school increased.

Yeo-eun seemed very sorry to Myung Jae-hyun, saying that she didn't know that rumors would spread after seeing Eta.

under...

Why do you worry so much?

김여주
excuse me..

???
yes?

김여주
Please tell me Myung Jae-hyun's address.

김여주
Please send it to me by text.

???
...Suddenly?

김여주
yes.

???
...is it so.

???
...there must be some misunderstanding.

김여주
Please send it quickly.

???
yes..

dripping-

김여주
Myung Jae-hyun! Are you inside?

(Sound of door opening) CLACK.


명재현
...Uh, what's going on..

김여주
I heard you're in a lot of pain.

김여주
are you okay?

김여주
Your complexion is so bad.

김여주
Did you go to the hospital?


명재현
...no.


명재현
Um... I'm sorry...


명재현
Hug me just once.

When I asked to be hugged with eyes that looked like they were going to cry at any moment,

My heart has become weak.

김여주
Let's go in first.

(hugging sound) hug-

김여주
are you okay?


명재현
huh..


명재현
I think I'll survive. Thanks for coming.

김여주
Do you have a cold?


명재현
maybe..?

김여주
I brought some meat. Eat this.


명재현
Yeah..


명재현
...But why don't you ask?

김여주
There must have been some misunderstanding.


명재현
that's right..


명재현
You really must be mistaken.


명재현
I thought it was you so I...

김여주
Okay. It's okay.

김여주
...Anyway, I just came to check if you're okay.

김여주
Eat well and get better soon so you can come out to school.


명재현
(holding on) Wait a minute...


명재현
Just stay for 5 more minutes.
