One step to you
Good senior?
Jeonghan and Seoyeon are the only ones left at the table
이서연
"...Senior... Is it okay if you don't tell Seungcheol oppa...?"
As Seo-yeon spoke carefully, Jeong-han smiled lightly while still holding the glass of water in his hand.
정한
"Oh, I don't. But I'm a little curious."
정한
"If you like it so much that you can't hide it, why are you hiding it?"
Seoyeon thought about her words for a while and finally opened her mouth.
이서연
"...To Seungcheol oppa, I'm... just a younger brother..."
정한
"I guess that's what it is?"
Jeonghan nodded and said as if something had come to mind.
정한
"Well, Seungcheol got a girlfriend a while ago."
이서연
"....Huh...? Really...?!!"
Seoyeon's eyes widened. A look of surprise, bewilderment, and a slightly broken expression.
Jeonghan burst into laughter, gulping down water as if he found the reaction funny.
정한
"Puhahaha. Oh, sorry, I was joking. No~ I never said anything like that."
이서연
"...Sir, senior...! That kind of joke is a bit..."
정한
"Oh, sorry~ Really~"
Jeonghan raised both hands slightly and smiled. But soon he looked into each other's eyes seriously.
정한
"But are you sure Seungcheol really doesn't like you?
정한
Do you really only see me as a younger sibling?
Seoyeon couldn't answer.
Seeing her lowering her head without saying anything, Jeonghan smiled faintly and added a word.
정한
"How can I help you?
정한
If a junior shows up who is just to his taste, wouldn't he look like a woman instead of a younger sibling?"
Although the tone was playful, Seoyeon felt that there was some sincerity in the tone.
이서연
"Really... is that so?"
When Seo-yeon asked quietly with her eyes wide open, Jeong-han raised the corners of his mouth as if he was interested.
정한
"Then if I'm going to help you, I need to know your number, right?"
이서연
“…Ah, yes!”
Seoyeon took out her cell phone absentmindedly, and the two naturally exchanged contact information.
Seungcheol just happened to be coming back from the bathroom.
에스쿱스(승철)
"Hey, did you tell me a story?"
Jeonghan put his phone in his pocket and smiled meaningfully, saying, "Yeah. Good job~"
So, Jeonghan holds the key to this strange relationship, and Seoyeon, unbeknownst to her yet—
That night, a new board began to quietly be laid down.
***
Tiring~
On the way home. A KakaoTalk notification arrived on Seoyeon's phone.
• [Senior Yoon Jung-han] A selfie of Jung-han with only half of his body visible, V pose, taken with the back of the coup
Seo-yeon covered her mouth with her hand in embarrassment for a moment, but soon lowered her head and let out a laugh.
이서연
“Cook... Senior, what the heck is this...”
He smiles at Jeonghan's playful photo and looks up at the photo again.
Coups is only visible from the back, while Jeonghan is making a V sign with his hand with only half of his face visible on the screen.
It's a playful, yet not annoying, delight.
이서연
‘Still... I think you are a good senior.’
Seoyeon muttered to herself as she entered the house by pressing the front door password.
I was embarrassed, but I felt a little relieved.
