Chapter 95 – I Wanted to Hear That
Wei Ying
The black-tinted windows were lowered in the stopped car. Then, a handsome man who seemed to be my age appeared with a smile.
“Se-hee! Are you going home?”
At the words that called her, Sehee hugged me tighter with her arm around my waist.
“… Yes.”
Even though he wasn’t looking at me, he smiled and gave me a chin.
“By the way, who is with you? Who is it that you and Sehee are with?”
Then who are you?
When our eyes met, the man bowed his head while sitting in the car.
“Hello! My name is Jeong In-chan, who came to Se-hee’s school as a teacher!”
“Ah yes. Hello.”
“Yes. By the way, I’m sorry for the first meeting, but what’s your relationship with our student…”
The teacher who asked the question frowned. I didn’t like the way he looked, and Sehee seemed to feel the same way, so I tightened my arms around my waist.
“This is my boyfriend, sir.”
“Uh? Uh, yes Se-hee’s boyfriend.”
I almost forgot to act as Sehee’s boyfriend. However, after hearing that answer, the student made a serious expression as if he couldn’t do that.
“Is it so?”
“Yes.”
Se-hee, who lied casually, tried to go in the direction we were walking.
“Because we are going on a date now. I will stop.”
“Store?”
“Because I’m going.”
Even as they walked forward, the trainee followed the car slowly.
“Where are you going?”
“It’s the tteokbokki restaurant in front of me.”
Why do you say that?!
“Oh there? It’s delicious there. So shall I burn you? Shall I give you a ride?”
“Fine,”
“No! That’s it!”
Before Sehee could say anything, she interrupted and answered instead. Then, the teacher frowned again and I stared openly at his face.
If you are a teacher, you want to be a teacher, but I didn’t like that kind of person looking at his students like that.
“… All right.”
After a snowball fight with me, he nodded his head pretending to understand.
“I will stop. See you later, Sehee?”
“…”
“Yes, teacher.”
He didn’t answer, just nodded, and Sehee greeted him politely. As he watched us like that, he rolled up the windows and moved his car.
Watching the car leave, I asked Se-hee.
“Did you call me because of him?”
“It is, and it is not.”
“What are you talking about. Did that person flirt with you?”
“If so,”
She untied her hand from wrapping around my waist and asked, taking a step away.
“What are you going to do?”
The black eyes looking at me seemed to be testing me.
“How do you do it? You should report it right away.”
“You’re reporting it?”
“I’m going to inform your school and that guy’s school over there. A teacher is messing with a student.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“Why?”
“No, that guy who says he’s a teacher is flirting with students. Is that a normal guy? Absolutely not. I’m sure the other kids will touch it too.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because all the handsome cubs I know are like that.”
The same was true for Ha-jun, who touched Yuri or the Demon King. He believed his handsome face and touched several women. The student just now felt a similar energy. This was not because of my inferiority complex about my average appearance, but because of my intuition based on my experience.
“…”
Sehee, who heard my words, looked at me blankly. I couldn’t stand her gaze and asked her.
“Why?”
“No.”
Shaking her head, she moved her body in the direction she was walking towards her snack bar. Then, it was impressive to see her straight black hair, shiny like obsidian, waving and fluttering.
“Your brother is still insensitive, I think.”
“What?”
“Come quickly. Let’s go eat tteokbokki.”
As if she couldn’t wait, she took my hand and led me. I had no idea what was going on, but I couldn’t help but catch up with the enchanting scent of my freshly blown hair.
By the time I came to my senses, we had arrived in front of her snack bar she said. It had been in operation for quite some time, and the appearance was shabby. However, befitting the name of the restaurant, An-an goes with students wearing the same school uniform as Se-hee.
Got it
But there was one problem. I pointed to the red car that was the problem and tried to tell Sehee that she had a teacher.
“Hey, that one.”
“Just go in. Never mind.”
“Uh?”
As Se-hee said, I opened the sliding door and entered the snack bar.
“Welcome!”
As you can see from the outside, it was full of customers, and the owner who was cooking in the kitchen shouted without even looking.
“Sit there! Please come and place your order here!”
“Brother, sit over there.”
Se-hee pointed to the only empty table in the restaurant for four. We went to the table and sat down.
However,
“… Why are you sitting here?”
Sehee sat down next to me without letting go of her hand. She answered my question casually.
“How are you? I’m acting as a boyfriend anyway.”
“Are your friends already gone?”
“Because a friend of my friends is here. And,”
A familiar person entered the room. He was the schoolteacher with whom we had a brief conversation. He pretended to be a coincidence and smiled brightly.
“Uh! Are you here?”
Even though the face was smiling, the eyes in that smile were staring at me sharply.
“That person is still there.”
I looked at Sae-hee, who whispered softly, and then at the man again. He smiled and came over to our seats.
“I came to eat some tteokbokki, can I join you?”
And I looked around the inside full of people as if to show off.
“There are no other seats.”
“…”
I silently refused, but the restaurant lady shouted angrily.
“If you’re going to sit there, sit down quickly! Are you sitting in any empty seat!”
“… Sit.”
At that, Sehee pointed to the two chairs across from her. Seeing this, the schoolteacher smiled shamelessly and sat down facing me.
“Sehee, thank you.”
“No.”
As she answered, she crossed her arms in fear. Of course, it could be seen through the table, and the teacher who saw it frowned.
“Why.”
I looked straight into his eyes, and he didn’t look away either.
The stalemate that started was over sooner than expected.
“I need to make tteokbokki, oppa.”
“Uh?”
“The only menu here is tteokbokki, but you can only choose the level of spiciness.”
“Then I-“
“I’ll do it with the mildest taste. I can’t eat spicy food.”
“If you’re going to make your own decisions, why ask me?”
“You have to ask. Sensei, are you okay with a mild taste?”
“Nana? No, I’ll just have a drink. Coke, please.”
“Yes, then I’ll order only coke for two servings of tteokbokki.”
Sehee untied her arms and stood up. The student and I looked at each other in a daze as she headed for her order.
“Hey”
Then, the teacher spoke first.
“Hey, how old are you now?”
It was like this again. If you’re younger than yourself, you won’t ask for permission and speak rudely. I said a little older than my original age to prepare for that.
“I am 24 years old. Why.”
“Then you are a year younger than me.”
Shit.
I should have sung a little higher, and the teacher continued to speak to me, who was regretting it.
“Do you know how old Sehee is now?”
“I know. Why is that?”
“You have such a big age difference, do you want to date?”
“… Yes?”
“Even though Sehee looks a little mature, she is still young. That’s the age at which an older man comes to me with just a crush on me, and feels admiration as love.”
I was taken aback by what he said, so I stuttered my answer as I was so dumbfounded.
“Oh no, what about that one? You’ve been 25 years old and you’ve been flirting with Se-hee.”
“Yes?”
This time, the teacher made an absurd expression.
“Did I say that I was flirting?”
“Didn’t you?”
“Didn’t you?”
We looked at each other with bewildered eyes. I turned my gaze from there and looked over the teacher’s shoulder at Se-hee, who was ordering at the counter.
“…”
She looked at me and muttered something, but she couldn’t hear it properly because of the distance and the noise around her. But she could tell what the situation was by the smile on her lips. That it was caught.
“Excuse me,”
I said, covering my throbbing head.
“Somehow, it seems I misunderstood.”
“Yes? Is it a misunderstanding?”
“Since Sehee is so pretty, there were a lot of boys who approached her with flirtatiousness. I thought the teachers were like that too. Sorry.”
So far, most of the men who have approached Mawang and the Sehee sisters have been like that. Besides, since I have a prejudice against handsome men, it seemed like they misunderstood me.
However, this person only followed because he was worried that his student was going out with someone. Even though he is still a trainee and not a formal teacher.
When I let them know that I had misunderstood, the teacher also smiled and chatted.
“Ah! I see! Ah, then dating Sehee… ?”
“No. The person I’m dating is Sehee’s unnie. It’s not Sehee.”
“Yes? Then why did you say Se-hee was dating?”
“Perhaps it was a joke. After hanging out with my sister, I became very close with Sehee.”
“No matter how close we become, would we play such a joke?”
“I don’t know. It’s because she’s a girl who doesn’t know what’s inside.”
“Haha! I am of the same opinion.”
That’s how we were able to clear up misunderstandings, and by the time Sehee approached with a water bottle and a cup, the schoolteacher was about to leave.
“Sehee, I’m going.”
“Are you leaving already, sir?”
“Yeah, the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”
“Is that so.”
Even after hearing that it was a misunderstanding, Se-hee put the cup and water bottle down on the table as if nothing happened. The teacher who saw that took out his wallet and put 2,000 won next to it.
“This is where I live. Bon appetite.”
“You don’t have to!”
“It should be, of course. Then I’ll go. I’ll go! See you at school, Sehee!”
Even though he was handsome, he was polite and left the restaurant. I immediately tried to argue with Sehee why she lied, but she went to the kitchen to get food.
Sae-hee, who had brought tteokbokki, odeng-tang, and canned cola, sat next to me again, and I thought it was an opportunity and asked right away.
“Why did you do that?”
“What?”
“Why did you lie that he was cheating on you?”
“Didn’t I?”
“You did! Obviously, ah!”
Certainly it was. Se-hee only pretended to be bothered by the teacher, but never said that he was flirting with her. So far, it has happened because of the reaction of her and her friends and my prejudice.
However, I still have questions.
“By the way, why did your friends compare me to the school teacher?”
“Is that it? Kids of that age are naturally good at misunderstandings.”
“Are you guys that age too?”
“I guess he thinks me and the teacher get along well.”
“Don’t pretend! And, he didn’t know what I would think of him.”
Sehee, of course, knew what the situation looked like earlier. Evidence of that was the fact that I was talking to the student and he smiled when our eyes met.
I sighed and muttered that I was happy.
“I was worried because I thought the strange guys were bothering me again.”
“I wanted to hear that.”
“What?”
Even when she tried to ask, Se-hee delayed answering by dipping the tteokbokki with a fork.
“I was a little anxious because my brother seemed to only play with my sister. So I wanted to check.”
“What are you talking about, that again.”
“You said that girls my age are often mistaken.”
As she said that, she looked at me with her eye smile. For some reason, her face heated up at the sight of her satisfied eyes.
Se-hee, who was watching my restlessness, held out another fork to me.
“Eat my brother too. I can’t eat alone.”
“Uh, yes.”
I received a fork and ate tteokbokki to hide my feelings.
“Is it more delicious than I thought?”
The tteokbokki with the lowest spiciness level was sweet.
-Uh! Yes, Sehee!
“Yes, teacher.”
– When the two of you are alone, call me Inchan oppa.
“Teacher, could you please stop doing that?”
-Huh? What?
“You flirt like that.”
– Did I flirt? I?
“Oh my God, wasn’t it flirtatious that you threw at me? I think it was flirtatious that I sent to Minji and Heeyoung. Sorry, I don’t know yet.”
-You, nut?!
“You texted both of them the same way I did. Can’t you get a little creative?”
-No, I’m not sure what you’re talking about?
“Are you okay. Principals and newspaper reporters would know. I will tell them.”
-Ah, that, Sehee. I think there is some misunderstanding.
“Are you wrong? Is it a misunderstanding to ask people who are several years younger than you to meet?”
-You know, that’s
“If you want to be a teacher, don’t do that. I will watch over you, so even if you become a teacher, be careful. Did you know?”
Pop
“… After all, my brother is secretly dull. Well, that’s cute too♥”
