Chapter 186

186 – 180. The Handsome Guy

Heo Jeong-ah, a freshman in the Department of Civil Engineering.

Jeong Chan-woo was the girlfriend of everyone’s desire, but she was actually quite ordinary.

She wasn’t ugly, but she wasn’t particularly pretty either.

She was just that kind of girl.

But I’ve heard that sometimes in love, there are people who exude a charm that goes beyond their appearance.

I wondered if Heo Jeong-ah was one of those people.

Because she had caught a big fish like Chan-woo, but she came into the cafe with her arm linked with another man.

“Usually in anime or novels, that kind of person is an older brother or younger brother.”

“What are you talking about, you pervert?”

Yoo Ah-rin, who had lightly dismissed my opinion, watched the situation unfold with a serious expression.

It seemed that she was feeling the seriousness of the situation where her friend’s boyfriend might have been two-timing.

“When you look at it, does it look like an older brother or younger brother?”

“……No.”

But couldn’t it be a cousin?

I tried to guide Chan-woo in a good direction so that he could calm down.

“Oh, oppa……”

Heo Jeong-ah’s expression was so embarrassed that it couldn’t be an act.

‘Oh, I’ve been had.’

This is definitely an affair.

“You, who is that person next to you?”

Chan-woo asked bravely.

“No, that’s…”

Heo Jeong-ah muttered and couldn’t answer properly.

But instead, the man on the other side asked Heo Jeong-ah with a bewildered expression.

“Who is that?”

That person.

The fact that he was referring to Chan-woo with the utmost respect showed that he was completely terrified.

‘He knows about Chan-woo, so Heo Jeong-ah must have known that her boyfriend had another girlfriend.’

I wondered if she had met him naturally while giving him advice about his boyfriend.

“No, this kind of person?”

The man looked at Heo Jeong-ah as if he couldn’t believe it.

I would have wanted to say that I’m not bad myself, but isn’t the difference in level too great?

I wondered if the difference was so great that Heo Jeong-ah was playing with him in reverse.

The moment the man looked back at Heo Jeong-ah in disbelief.

“Jeong-ah, we. I guess we should call it quits now?”

When Chan-woo asked bitterly, Jeong-ah hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.

“Yeah, it’s too hard because of oppa. I haven’t dated much either, but… oppa is too inconsiderate.”

“I see.”

Chan-woo hung his head.

Seeing Chan-woo, who seemed to be sorry in many ways, made my heart feel strangely heavy.

“Excuse me……”

“Damn it, you b*tch.”

I was about to say what’s so great about being so confident and butting in.

But Yoo Ah-rin, who was standing next to me, had already taken a step forward and glared at Heo Jeong-ah.

“You’re crazy. Chan-woo may not be smart or have any sense. That’s why you might break up.”

Look at her rolling up her sleeves.

If she makes a mistake, she’ll punch me.

“Then you should talk properly and date after you break up! Why are you putting another man next to you and whining about being tired or whatever!”

“Oh my god! Ah-rin! Ah-rin!”

I barely managed to hold her back from throwing a punch.

She was even trying to swing her leg, so I quickly picked her up and took a few steps back.

“Let me go! I’m going to smash that b*tch’s head in!”

“Hey, hey! Hold on! If you fight, he’ll have to go to the hospital!”

“Then you take the hit instead!”

I don’t know why she suddenly raised her hand and started hitting me on the head.

Anyway, I’m holding Yoo Ah-rin and getting hit by Yoo Ah-rin, so my mind is starting to get hazy.

“Another! Another woman! Agh! You b*tch!”

“Why are you suddenly cursing at me!”

I don’t know why the girl who was clearly going to kill Heo Jeong-ah suddenly turned her target to me.Anyway.

Chan-woo, who ignored us as we were making a scene, stepped forward.

He gently held Heo Jung-ah’s hand and said with a sad smile.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I realized how lacking I am.”

“Ah…”

“So. Take care. I did this because I was lacking. But you’re a good person.”

After saying goodbye to the man, Chan-woo walked out of the cafe.

“Oh, oppa!”

Heo Jung-ah called out to Chan-woo with regret, as if she had felt something from Chan-woo’s appearance just now.

However, Chan-woo’s voice did not reach him.

She just stared blankly at the back of the man she had abandoned.

Yoo Ah-rin and I followed her out and said a few words.

“Don’t go after him because you still have feelings for him. He’s an asshole.”

“Don’t let me see you. I’ll kill you.”

We came out after giving him a good scolding as friends.

Chan-woo was waiting for us outside the cafe and said with a sad smile.

“Where should we go?”

Yoo Ah-rin and I looked at each other at the same time. Then we nodded and shouted.

“How about karaoke? Let’s go and sing our hearts out?!”

“Good! I’m surprisingly good at singing!”

Chan-woo was able to smile a little at our enthusiastic response.

Exactly three days later.

I arrived at the lecture early and was waiting for the professor.

Yoo Ah-rin, who was sitting next to me, whispered.

“Heo Jung-ah broke up with her new boyfriend.”

“Oh, that’s too bad.”

I clenched my fist without realizing it and shouted, and Yoo Ah-rin snickered.

“Right? Heo Jung-ah’s last expression was like she was regretting it.”

“Should we tell Chan-woo about this? Will he like it?”

Chan-woo’s personality is such that he probably wouldn’t like to hear about his ex-girlfriend.

Yoo Ah-rin put her hand to her mouth and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

“No, let’s not tell him. It’s not like he’ll go after her if we tell him, and it’ll just hurt his feelings.”

“Right, that’s true.”

Just then, Chan-woo entered the classroom.

Wearing a construction engineering uniform, he approached us with a bright smile, and on his arm was…

“….”

A woman I had never seen before was holding his arm.

“Am I seeing things?”

I rubbed my eyes and checked again, but it was a woman. This time, it was a woman who was quite pretty.

They were both wearing the same construction engineering uniform, but the woman’s skinship was quite excessive, and Chan-woo accepted it without hesitation.

“Hello, these are my friends.”

Chan-woo smiled and introduced us to the woman.

“Hello, I’m Min Se-rin, a freshman in construction engineering. I’m Chan-woo oppa’s girlfriend!”

She rubbed her cheek on his arm, saying how good it was.

“We’ll sit separately.”

I guess it’s because he said last time at the gym that he was uncomfortable being with us when he had a new girlfriend.

This time, Chan-woo had learned his lesson and moved to a seat where they could be alone.

“….Three days.”

It had really only been three days.

Yoo Ah-rin and I looked at Chan-woo with blank expressions and said.

“Let’s make a bet on how many girlfriends Chan-woo will have this year.”

“How about how many he’ll make drop out?”

“That would be more fun.”

It’s the end of March now, so he’s already made one.

“I’ll bet on 10.”

“I’ll bet on 15.”

“If it’s that much, won’t he be a public nuisance in the construction engineering department?”

“More than that, that kid is like a sociopath. Should we report him to the police?”

“Not the police, but the hospital. Let’s have him take a sociopath test later.”

The professor came in and the conversation didn’t continue.

“Anyway, I didn’t think I’d be worried about handsome guys.”“You’re good enough for now. If you get too handsome, things will get unnecessarily complicated.”

“…….”

“If you ask me, if you had a face like Chanwoo’s, I would have asked you out with not three, but five other people.”

“Hey, I’m still a person, even if I am like this. Five is a bit much.”

“Right? Five is a bit much?”

“Of course it is. If there were five, I wouldn’t be a person, but a stallion. If two more were added here, I’d run a lap around the entire school in Jeonra.”

“Noted.”

After finishing our small talk.

We started to focus on the lecture.

“Hold on a second, you punk.”

Yooarin, who had been resting her chin on her hand, suddenly glared at me with a serious expression.

“You’re saying that three is okay, as if it’s natural?”

“…….”

I’ve been caught.

“Wouldn’t it be possible for us to get along well if there were four? The number of people is just right when we play Blue Marble.”

“Did you confess to three people because you wanted to play Blue Marble? How am I supposed to deal with this?”

Yooarin fidgeted with her hands, preparing to hit me at any moment.

Fortunately, the professor was in the middle of a lecture, so Yooarin couldn’t move as she pleased.

In the end, she started kicking me with her feet under the desk.

“Stop stepping on my feet. Stop it.”

Even though she was kicking me, she had taken off her shoes, so it was soft rather than hard.

The girl who had been hitting me with her socked feet naturally twisted her body and put her leg on my thigh.

Even while doing so, she rested her chin on her hand and looked towards the professor. She had considerable flexibility in her back.

“What can I do about it?”

“Rub it for me.”

That came out of nowhere.

I carefully started to rub the sole of her foot with my thumb, and Yooarin flinched and smiled bashfully.

“I’ve been thinking about this since last time, but can you give me a massage?”

“I learned it to give it to you guys.”

“If you had said ‘you’ instead of ‘you guys,’ it would have been really nice- Huh?!”

I intentionally put a little more force into it, and Yooarin’s butt lifted slightly from the chair as she bit her lip.

Fortunately, there was no one sitting right behind us.

Well, even if there was, they would just think that a couple was cuddling during class. They would just ignore us.

“Wow, that’s really refreshing.”

Feeling good, I gently pulled on the end of Yooarin’s sock.

The sock came off slowly, revealing her white bare foot.

“What? Why are you taking it off so lewdly?”

“I’m not doing anything like that.”

“Ugh, did you do that on purpose? Even if you recited the Heart Sutra, you would still seem lewd.”

“How could you possibly seem lewd while reciting the Heart Sutra?”

“Your tongue?”

I pulled on each of her toes one by one, and gently pressed the center with my fingers.

After giving her a proper foot massage, I slapped the sole of her foot as a finishing touch.

“Done. Get off.”

“Do it a little more.”

It seemed like it wasn’t bad.

I felt a strange sense of satisfaction, but I grumbled and told her to get off quickly.

“Your feet stink. Get off.”

“They don’t?”

“I said they do?”

In reality, they didn’t, but I thought that saying this would make everything a little better.

Swish!

Yooarin lifted her foot up to my face and stuck her toes in my nostrils.

“Sniff it! I told you they don’t stink?”

“Oh, damn it! The professor is looking!”

I have to admit that she has a lot of flexibility. It’s amazing that she can lift her leg up to my face while sitting down.

‘Come to think of it, she could probably do the splits while standing up.’

Yooarin was surprisingly good at some things.

She could even do a windmill.

I grabbed her instep and swung it down, and she covered her mouth and giggled as if she found something funny.

“hahahaha! Look how desperate Kim Woojin is. It’s okay because the professor was looking at the blackboard when you lifted it up.”

“…….””Doesn’t it smell better than that? You bastard, you sucked my toes last time and what’s that smell?”

“D, did I?”

Yoo Ah-rin got annoyed as I stuttered without knowing what to say because I was embarrassed.

“Don’t you remember? You licked it as if you were playing a prank when you were handcuffed.”

Oh, right.

It seemed like I had forgotten because there were so many intense memories.

“Oh my, I have only one experience, so it comes to mind right away, but that bastard’s memory is divided into folders for Seo Ye-rin, Choi I-seo, and Oh Yoon-ji.”

“……”

“Ah, get lost. I don’t want a massage.”

She’s so temperamental even though she started it.

The moment Yoo Ah-rin tried to pull her leg out.

“There, the couple?”

The professor pointed in our direction and gestured.

We were startled.

We pointed at ourselves in embarrassment, and the professor shook his head.

“No, not there, the very back seat.”

When all the students turned their heads, there were Chan-woo and his girlfriend that we had seen earlier.

“I’m sorry, but please don’t show affection in the classroom. Everyone can see it.”

“Ahem, ahem. I, I’m sorry.”
