82 – 82. Confession

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and it wasn’t just my imagination. There could be someone with the same name among Ahn Hyun-ho’s acquaintances.

In fact, the name Jin-ho was quite common.

But the timing was too coincidental.

I heard from Jung Chan-woo that Pyo Jin-ho had come to see him, and Yoo Ah-rin had also received a call from him. Naturally, I couldn’t help but think in that direction.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom.”

“But the food just came out?”

I left Joo-hee sunbae, who seemed to really like stir-fried octopus, and headed straight to the bathroom.

Yoo Ah-rin looked at me with suspicious eyes, but she couldn’t catch me because there was nothing specific to catch, so she just stayed in her seat.

Pretending to go to the bathroom, I turned around and headed towards Ahn Hyun-ho.

Ahn Hyun-ho, who was smoking outside the store and taking a call, had an uncomfortable expression on his face and was listening to the other person one-sidedly.

“Yes, yes, hyung. No. It’s not like that.”

Ahn Hyun-ho was so focused that he didn’t even notice me approaching. I stood behind him and stared at him, eavesdropping shamelessly.

“Ha, hyung. I may be in charge of the department, but I don’t know all the kids in our department.”

That can’t be true.

“Yoo… yes? Who is it? Yoo Ah-rin? Hyung, I’ve never even heard of her.”

Hmm?

I wanted to ask him if he hadn’t just been sitting across from her talking about taekwondo, but I waited in silence for now.

“Yes, hyung. I’ll have a drink with you later. Yes, yes. I understand. I’ll check it out. What was her name? Yoo Rin-gi? Ah… Yoo Ah-rin.”

“Pfft.”

I burst out laughing without realizing it, and Ahn Hyun-ho, who noticed my presence because of it, was startled and tensed up.

“Ah, no. It’s nothing, hyung. Yes! Yoo Ah-rin! I’ll definitely look for her!”

After hanging up the phone, Ahn Hyun-ho shouted at me, not even realizing that the cigarette in his hand was burning down.

“Hey, what’s the matter? Why are you listening to someone else’s conversation without permission?”

“Yoo Rin-gi was a good sense of humor.”

I’ll have to tease him about it later.

“No, what’s the matter? Why are you listening to someone else’s conversation without permission?”

Ahn Hyun-ho asked me seriously, and I shrugged my shoulders and replied.

“Pyo Jin-ho, right?”

“……What? Do you know Jin-ho hyung too?”

“No, it’s the first time I’ve heard the name today.”

“Hmm? What’s the explanation?”

From Ahn Hyun-ho’s point of view, he wouldn’t have understood what I was talking about at all.

But that didn’t matter, and there was only one thing I wanted to ask him right now.

“Why are you hiding Yoo Ah-rin?”

“……”

“She’s right in front of you, eating with us.”

I wondered why Ahn Hyun-ho was hiding Yoo Ah-rin. It didn’t seem like he had any special feelings for her.

Ahn Hyun-ho, who had been looking at me, put a cigarette in his mouth, his head in a mess. It was almost burnt out, so he had no choice but to take a sip and throw it away, but it didn’t give him any time to stall.

“Sunbae Pyo Jin-ho is a really bad person.”

I see.

I’ve never seen his face before, but it’s the first time I’ve ever felt a bad feeling about someone.

“I’ve only seen him a few times in passing, but… there are so many bad rumors about him that I just don’t want to get involved.”

“……I thought you liked that kind of thing.”

Ahn Hyun-ho frowned when I muttered that he still seemed like a college student who couldn’t get away from the gang game.

“I’m a college student. I fell behind in my studies so much in my third year of high school that I barely got into this school, so I can’t live like I used to.””Oh.”

Right.

Thinking about it, it seemed like Ahn Hyunho had never shown me a rough side except when he was jealous about Choi Yiseo.

It was because his jealous side was so intense.

The anonymous287 who helped Minji and sniped at me was actually Choi Yiseo who was trying to protect me, not Ahn Hyunho.

‘Thinking about it, didn’t Choi Yiseo ruin his image?’

Well, it could also mean that Choi Yiseo hated Ahn Hyunho clinging to her that much.

“Honestly, you look a little different. I still thought you were playing around like you did in high school.”

“……”

I couldn’t deny that it was true until recently, so I kept my mouth shut.

“Han Kang sunbae and Joohee sunbae too. There are many sunbaes around us to look up to and learn from, right?”

“Joohee sunbae is like that, but Han Kang sunbae?”

“He’s a sunbae with a lot to learn from.”

Is he talking about flirting with women?

It was a part where I could see how well Han Kang had built his image with his juniors.

I wondered if that was why everyone followed him around, saying yes and yes, even if they were being stubborn.

“Anyway, there’s no way Pyo Jinho sunbae and Yoo Arin will get involved separately. No matter how much of a sunbae you are, can you find her?”

Ahn Hyunho said as he turned to leave. It’s true that if we don’t leave now, Yoo Arin and Joohee sunbae might have eaten almost all the food.

I thought my image of Ahn Hyunho had changed a bit.

“But you’re not dating Yiseo, are you?”

Ahn Hyunho asked, stopping in his tracks. I wondered why he didn’t ask, and it was also an embarrassing question to answer.

“I don’t think we’re dating?”

“What kind of answer is that?”

“Getting to know each other? Just talking step by step?”

“Yiseo said she’s going to date next year. And you said you were dumped once.”

Oh, right.

I even told that lie that I would get rid of Ahn Hyunho.

“Originally, being dumped once is a strategy. That way, you make the other person conscious of me.”

“Oh… It’s a strategy I couldn’t learn from Han Kang sunbae.”

“Damn it. That bastard has never been dumped. He’s the kind of guy who would tell you to eat cake if you don’t have bread.”

I was dumped by Seo Yerim, but it was actually a TKO, so what was there to be afraid of?

“Whew, I’m sorry, but I’m not giving up on Yiseo. I feel like we’re getting along well. She’s the type who’s cold at first, but once you get close or start dating, she’ll be really good to you.”

…I think she’ll be good to me.

“And she takes good care of herself.”

“……”

“She wears a lot of tracksuits, so you might not know, but Yiseo has quite a bit of volume?”

“……”

“And the girls who exercise have amazing bodies…!”

“Damn it! I’m not giving Choi Yiseo to a guy like you, you bastard!”

“……Who are you to give or not give? It’s okay for guys to talk like this.”

After kicking Ahn Hyunho’s butt, who I thought was going to tell some kind of war story, I went inside the store.

“Did you two have a good time?”

Yoo Arin grumbled as she looked at the two of us who had come together.

“Yoo Arin talks a lot.”

“You bastard, that’s my middle school nickname.”

Somehow, it stuck to my mouth.

“Yoo Arin must be delicious.”

I suddenly felt like eating fried food, so I muttered and sat down, and Yoo Arin frowned and questioned me.

“Are you s*xually harassing me?”

“It’s not like that.”The filming continued until evening.

In the middle, Seo Ye-rin joined, and finally, Choi Yi-seo came, so everyone was gathered.

The filming went smoothly, and Yoo Ah-rin, who played the crazy girl, was quite refreshing, so I personally thought of keeping it.

“Huff, huff.”

A short break.

I was laughing while watching Yoo Ah-rin on the screen holding a knife and going crazy, when Seo Ye-rin approached me quietly.

Now, it was almost a daily routine for her to put her hand on my thigh naturally.

I’ve pulled it away a few times, but every time I do, she smiles mischievously, saying, “Are you being picky? You’re cute,” so I just leave it alone.

“Do you think the filming went well?”

“Oh, honestly, since all of our kids have pretty faces, I think we’ll get our episode if I just edit it well.”

“I’ll do a good job. If you need any help, let me know.”

When I hear her talk like this, she’s really kind. She’s also very considerate and knows how to calm people down, which is why I can see why Seo Ye-rin is so popular.

“I’m sorry, but can you just look at one thing?”

Look at the way she’s asking now.

Anyway, since it’s a break and I’m free, she’s asking me politely and not being sorry for interrupting me.

“What is it?”

“Just choose one of the two.”

Oh, do you want me to look at something like clothes?

I’m not good at dressing, but I have an eye for it.

I’ve seen a lot of clothes while being dragged around by my ex-girlfriend.

My ex-girlfriend was very interested in clothes. But it’s not like she was extravagant or only bought luxury brands.

‘Oh, sh*t.’

I put my thoughts about Oh Yoon-ji aside and looked at the cell phone Seo Ye-rin handed me.

There was.

A woman wearing cat ears and only a bra and panties standing there, acting cute.

“This one.”

“……”

What is she showing me now?

I nonchalantly turned to the next screen, and this time there was a woman in a cow bikini.

“This one.”

What do you want me to do with this?

This damn girl.

“What do you want me to do?”

I hate myself for praising Seo Ye-rin until now. Why the hell is she showing me this? When I asked her back, Seo Ye-rin laughed and replied.

“I’m going to wear it next time.”

For a moment, I almost chose one without realizing it, but I bit my lip and answered.

“Neither of them suits you.”

“Really?”

“First of all, the cow. That’s something they only do in the West. They’re voluptuous over there.”

Bam.

Seo Ye-rin pinched my thigh lightly.

But it’s not a wrong statement, is it?

“And the first one.”

I gritted my teeth and turned the photo to the first one. I pointed to the back of the woman in the black cat bikini.

There was a black tail, but I’m not sure where it was attached.

It could be simply attached to the panties, but if not.

“Do you know where this is attached?”

When I asked, pointing to the tail, Seo Ye-rin’s face turned bright red.

‘Did she suggest it knowing?’

Let’s go right now.

“Is this really a big deal? Watch some porn.”

“……Oh, it didn’t look painful.”

“The reason it doesn’t look painful is because they’re experienced assistants. Oh, how many porn movies do you watch?”

“……You recommended the product number before.”

Oh.

“Haam! I’m sleepy.”

I closed my eyes as if I was collapsing.Why did you recommend the item number?

“Wasn’t this outfit from there?”

‘Damn it.’

I hate myself for recommending it to Anonymous69 while giggling, thinking I wouldn’t get caught anyway.

I barely managed to get rid of Seo Yerim, who was clinging to me and whining, and ran away.

I looked around to see what the others were doing, and I heard a voice from behind a tree.

“Iseo, you’re here.”

Ahn Hyunho?

And Choi Iseo too?

I wondered what was going on, but a sudden chill ran down my spine.

‘Originally, it’s a strategy to be a little different. That way, you make the other person conscious of you.’

I thought about the advice I had given today and slapped my forehead.

Before I knew it, I had moved in that direction, and the moment I saw the two of them.

“I like you. Let’s date.”

A somewhat orthodox confession came out of Ahn Hyunho’s mouth.

“……”

It’s not a joke.

It was the first time I had ever seen Choi Iseo’s expression so rotten.
