Chapter 88 – Episode 88

In some ways, this could be my first date request. Is that why? The talking tail was chewy.

Who are you threatening? Or to pursue naturalness… Fuck. No matter what excuse you make, all I can think of is that you’re an asshole. This is probably a line that only the male lead in a drama would say. It’s not like an extra, it’s like a passerby talking.

In fact, Ohana, who was watching next to her, was making a bewildered expression. It’s the first time in her life that she’s seen a date request that is so romantic and devoid of any sense of humor.

‘Oppa, are you telling me to leave it to me to do something like that?’

… I think he’s saying this with his eyes. I wish it was just my paranoia.

I understand why companies prefer experienced workers. An inexperienced kid, no matter how hard he tried and how careful he was, immaturity or unexpected mistakes would pop up all of a sudden.

Ha, seriously, if only I had a superpower to turn back time… I think so. Aebom, who froze for a moment, gently wiped her mouth with a roll of toilet paper and asked.

“Let’s play together just the two of us. “Is it okay to think of it as asking for a date?”

Uh? She was once taken aback by Aebom Han’s reaction, and was taken aback again by her repeated questions. Is everyone else like this too? Calmly asking if I would like to go on a date.

What? I’m so embarrassed to say it again with my own mouth?

“… That’s right. Yes. A date, a poem, an application.”

Turn it off.

Her hands and feet shrivel as she screams internally. I didn’t say anything wrong, but this is the same for everyone else, right?

… I thought, so I looked to the side. Ohana looks as if she is enduring something terribly. I guess everyone is like this?

What about Yoon Su-ah?

“…”

I am leisurely intuiting this scene with the same eyes as my mother and her grandmother watching the morning drama.
Meanwhile, other people aren’t even visible.

A baby was nodding her head with a happy smile on her face. If you look at this, she really is a childish girl who doesn’t know anything about the world.

“Okay, Hyunwoo’s suggestion. I accept it. Let’s play together. Just the two of us.”

Stop it, Mr. Aebom.

She really puts special emphasis on the word ‘just the two of us.’ Because it just looks like an elementary school student showing off a snail he accidentally picked up on the playground on a rainy day. The oddly detailed story is definitely not because it’s my story.

‘I don’t think the reason you’re that happy is because of absolute likeability, right?’

Furthermore, I like it that much even with lines that seem like they would come out of a third-rate romance novel like this one of mine. Perhaps it was just my opinion, but I thought it was because this was Han Ae Bom’s ‘first’.

It’s not just the first time in real life. It was clear that I had never experienced a case like this, even through other media. I am confident in this assumption. Because Han Ae-bom’s face right now was not that of a trustworthy career woman or young lady, but that of an innocent teenage girl looking forward to a date.

“…”

Both Yoon Su-ah and Oh Hana have that innocent face. Each person was looking at Hanae Bom with various emotions.

I also feel the same way.

Han Ae-bom, what kind of life have you been living?

*

When four people live shoulder to shoulder in this small studio, there are many things that cannot be hidden. The innocent, childlike face of a child I saw earlier is a perfect example.
However, even in such a place, Han Ae Bom and Oh Hana. These two still had things they kept inside and did not reveal to us. Even though, given their personalities, it was clear that if it had been anything, they would have already made it clear…

‘If you haven’t revealed it yet, how much of an unimaginable secret are you hiding?’

Quests that have been received for quite some times are still quests. Even if it’s not necessarily true, if you’re interested, you want to know the secret. Even if it was Pandora’s box, it was the same.

Isn’t it said that one of the evidences to determine whether a man is interested in a woman or not is the appearance of wanting to know more?

“Keu!”

To cool down my hot face from what happened a little while ago, I went outside and got some fresh air. As I was stretching, I remembered what Ji Seon-hye said.

‘How about showing a little bit of weakness?’

Look weak? What does being weak mean? Is it okay to go bowling somewhere and keep throwing it into the gutter? In fact, I always show my asshole-like side.

‘Wait for a sec. ‘It’s my first date to begin with.’

The thought that occurred to me now made my head turn white. Now that I think about it, I thought it was nothing, thinking that everyone has tried it on a date at least once. Here was someone who didn’t do that obvious thing.

I mean me, me. Fuck.

“The face is just plain, pity itself.”

“Surprise.”

Ohana, who seemed to have popped out at some point, came next to me and confidently made a request.

“Finger.”

“…”

I got used to it, so I held out my middle finger without any hesitation.

“The middle finger is a bit different. It’s strange because it feels like I’m sucking while being cursed at. Index finger.”

“Okay.”

When I changed it to my index finger again, Ohana sucked my index finger like a cigarette and exhaled. Although there is no smoke, it still looks a bit refreshing. Is that really effective? Should I ask for something too?

Not something like a hookah, but something like a love-liquid cigarette…

“What do you think is strange?”

“No. “Nothing.”

When I flinched from being stabbed for no reason, Ohana spoke.

“Relax, relax. Looking at Aebom earlier, it seemed like she would be happy if her brother suggested we go to the mining town together and dig up coal.”

Why does that sound real? Naturally, I picture Ae Bom with me holding a pickaxe and smiling with charcoal soot on her face.

“In the end, what matters is sex, sex. “Are you going to stay at a motel today?”

“Huh?”

Is that so?

… Looking at her face, Ohana looks at me with truly pitiful eyes.

“No, I went on a date. Even in a studio apartment, Aebom is so cool that she can’t have sex. Also, the two are having sex. Even Aebom loves sex.”

“Hey, hey, sex, don’t be like sex. “What if someone hears it?”

Someone already heard it. And that’s just my voice.

Three ladies who were entering the church next to my studio looked at me like I was trash. These are the ladies who smile brightly while giving me tissues and biscuits every time I pass by. It was my first time knowing that people could look like that. Damn.

“We went out on a date like that. No sex? This doesn’t make sense. Don’t just enjoy it vaguely. If possible, kill him and come back. “This is really done with the mindset of getting pregnant even if it means death!”

Who are you going to kill? I am prepared to die and have no intention of getting pregnant.

But what Ohana said wasn’t entirely wrong.

Hanae Bom’s personality is that she is the type of person who sees the end when it starts, so if she enjoys it in a timid way, she might end up regretting it.

“No, why don’t you two date in the first place. I think it suits you very well. “I think both of you would be perfect for dating beginners.”

“…”

Ohana let out a thud as she passed by. It’s something that makes me feel a little strange. Should I say it’s not as shocking as I thought?

Because Ohana’s voice was not the same as usual when she spoke as if nothing had happened. Normally, if someone next to you is more agitated than you, the person next to you tends to calm down for no reason.

Is that why? I asked calmly.

“Are you okay with my date with Aebom today?”

“Me? “Is there any reason why I’m not okay?”

If you look at it from the outside, it seems like nothing is wrong, to the point where it’s really disappointing. Why? My intuition, which was always wrong, feels like it’s right now.

“I heard you’ll be disappointed.”

“…”

“A little. He said he felt like he wouldn’t like it. But looking at your face now, I feel like I should have done more than senior Ji Sun-hye, not less.”

At my words, Ohana balled her shaking hands into fists and carefully covered her face with them. Her ohana’s lips twitch wildly.

“Ha, Mr… Brother. I am…”

Because rather than talking about something, it looks like he’s going to say something that seems like he’s blaming himself. I quickly cut Ohana off.

“That’s it. More than that, pick out some clothes for me. After that, touch my head.”

“… Yes?”

“Because it’s my first date. I don’t even have the confidence to escort properly. To be honest, shouldn’t you at least decorate yourself well before going out? Today is Sunday, so there will be a lot of people in the downtown area. Even so, if I just stand next to you guys, I become a squid instead of a person. “Please make it so that I can at least become an octopus.”

“Her…”

When Ohana burst out in laughter, she quickly returned to her usual mood. Having lived under the same roof for nearly four months, I knew very well that she was a strong woman in many ways.

“Hey, but you’re such a great bitch too. “Aren’t I a greater person?”

“What is it again?”

“Where in the world is there a man who lives like this? A man who lives in a one-room apartment, not a two-room apartment, with three women. You even do dirty things with those three. Wow, I thought something like this was something I could only imagine. Who cares if someone sees it? “It’s just trash.”

“Fuha, it’s really realu. After hearing this, I realized that my brother is the biggest trash.”

“Yeah, dude. You have to choose the right clothes and style your hair properly? “Wouldn’t that make you look more human?”

“What about people? Even so, it’s still an octopus.”

“If you think about it, what is the difference between octopus and squid?”

“Leg length?”

“Then isn’t squid better?”

“Maybe so.”

The two of them went in smiling casually. At least my insides were complicated in one way or another. What Ohana was trying to say just now probably wasn’t particularly serious.

It’s just that she wasn’t a virgin and was probably just self-deprecating based on her experiences. That wasn’t really what I wanted to hear.

As I said before, there is nothing you can do about the past.

Also, given that she was targeting three women at the same time, she was in no position to talk about Ohana’s past. Really.

‘Well, marriage and pregnancy… When it gets to that point, I won’t know.’

The dream that comes to mind when you forget it.

A sudden wedding. I don’t even know who the bride is…

And his greatest decision ever. Fuck.

In the first place, I don’t even know if it’s the future or a dream. I’m curious again and again. A decision you couldn’t have made if it weren’t for me?

No, but is there something that a bastard like me would look like? Or maybe I’ve become something amazing in the future? It’s not. I don’t have the courage to do that. I’m trying my best with Quest now, but the highest point in my life was getting a job as a programmer at a large company.

Let’s say it’s a decision that only I can make… I can’t think of anything?

‘No, in the first place, is it possible for even one of these three to get married?’

Me?

“…”

I can’t even draw a picture that well. What is the future? It must be a dream after all.

It is the moment when I open the front door with that thought in mind.

“Ha?”

While spending time outside, Ohana’s eyebrows fluttered as she looked at Han Ae-bom, who did her best to prepare her date look.

Hmm. That’s a bit… It’s harsh.

“Isn’t this intentional? Take it off right now! “I’ll pick out the clothes, and I’ll do the makeup too!”

Oh Hana runs towards Han Ae Bom. Han Ae-bom tried to resist violently.

“Shut up! How to enjoy your first date properly!”

This time it was Ohana’s victory.
