Chapter 93 – Episode 93

How can this be? Even though the world is small, isn’t it too small? No, I was just thinking of him, but the fact that he came out was strange… No, should I say it’s a hit? Should I at least buy a lottery ticket today?

If you think about it, there was a chance that we could meet.

If you have a girlfriend, there is a high probability that you will come to a hot spot that is becoming a hot topic on Sunday.

By the way, what should I do?

“Hyeonwoo?”

The thought was short.

Because Jo Ki-hang was walking in this direction with her girlfriend. If I pretended not to notice, a more difficult picture could have been drawn.

I carefully got up and raised my hand to greet Jo Ki-hang.

“… Oh, hello?”

“Who? Huh?”

Both were embarrassed.

I’m sure he was a friend that I was very close with when I was a college student, but when I tried to say hello to him for the first time in a while, I almost felt a hint of respect without realizing it.

“Hyeonwoo!”

At least Jogi Port was better. First, he remembered my name as soon as he saw me. I had so much to eat that I even forgot the name for a moment…

Moreover, Jo Ki-hang welcomed me in a much more relaxed manner than I expected. In some ways, it may be natural because he gave me so much. Damn, is this too paranoid of me? However, the fact is that I almost received it from him, and it is true that I feel a little sorry because of that.

“It’s been a long time, really.”

“Yes.”

Leaving the two confused women behind, we exchanged very brief greetings. It was really short. In particular, it was great that Jo Ki-hang looked at me and was considerate.

“It looks like you’re on a date. Let’s have a nice day with each other.”

“Okay.”

While saying that, he naturally placed the tray one space away from the seat next to us where we had originally intended to sit. Looking at Jo Ki-hang like that, I can see her girlfriend asking, ‘Who is it?’ Jo Ki-hang answered very confidently, ‘I was a close friend from college.’ He’s still the same.

Really, he was still a very good friend.

“May I ask who it is?”

“Oh, we were friends from college. “You know, the friend I mentioned earlier that I have benefited from in one way or another.”

“Ah…”

Han Aebom nodded her head. That was the end.

She asked me more questions, or even talked about how we had already met. Or how about she sticks to what she said earlier, she didn’t even interfere.
Apart from my incompetence, is it possible that I am born with good luck?

Jo Ki-hang and Han Ae-bom are like that… It seems like I only meet good people one way or another.

“Over there.”

As I was contemplating whether I should pray in gratitude, a voice suddenly came from next to me. When she turned her head, her face looked familiar.
Of course.

She is the girlfriend who came up with Jo Ki-hang a little while ago.

“… Ah. Yes.”

“I heard that our porter was a friend from college. It was a huge coincidence that we met like this, right? Since we met, I thought it would be nice if we could talk together.”

Honestly, I don’t want to do that.

“Sister, I told you not to do that.”

My friend also has a very embarrassed face. Because she’s so nice, I feel like she’s weak towards her girlfriend.

On the other hand, her girlfriend just has a fierce look on her face. Even if Jogi-hang is stopped, he doesn’t even blink.

“No, why? It was fate that we met like this. It’s not that the two of you talking together is particularly boring or anything. Because that’s what you do every time you go on a date. Sometimes things like this are good. Isn’t that the case there too? It’s not that I don’t particularly like it, but whenever we talk just the two of us, sometimes I want to enjoy this amazing bond.”

I don’t have the same level of empathy as snot. Today is our first date. How can I agree with that statement? Well, even if that wasn’t the case, I don’t think I would have wanted to sympathize with you…

“Ugh,” I thought as I looked at Jo Ki-hang’s gaze. Jo Ki-hang was looking the world’s sorry face at me. But seeing as she can’t do anything, it seems like she’s being held tightly by her girlfriend. If I refuse here, should I say it’s in their shoes? I had a feeling that that guy’s date today might be tiring.

“I see. It’s true that meeting like this was fate. But first, I also asked the people I came with.”

“Sure. Don’t be too burdened. It’s really a proposal to have fun together. “If the four of us talk, there’s no sound bill, and it’s fun.”

You’re hesitating because you don’t think it’ll be fun.

“How are you, Aebom?”

“I’m fine.”

It was unexpected. In a corner of her mind, she was hoping that Aebom would reject her. One Aebom was much cooler than she thought and nodded her head. The reason is… I’m not sure.

“It’s okay…”

“Are you okay?”

Before I could finish speaking, a tray was added with a clattering sound. It was originally a table by the window for 4 people, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

What. It feels like something has been subtly getting on my nerves since a while ago. A little… That’s right.

“I’m sorry, Hyunwoo.”

“No.”

She shook her head as she looked at Jo Ki-hang quietly apologizing in a whisper. I can’t say that it’s okay. Before I knew it, Aebom came to the seat next to me, carrying her bag.
It was possible for Jo Ki-hang and I to sit side by side, and Han Ae-bom and that woman to sit side by side. I guess I didn’t like that.

“Wow, but it’s a bit strange. “How can there be such coincidences?”

I was very excited alone. Anyway, that feels like informal language.

“Finch!”

As expected.

Aebom’s eyebrows tremble slightly as she tries to lift her coffee. Still, you endure it.

“Ah, let me introduce myself first. Then, starting with me who made the suggestion. My name is Seonhwa Lee. “This is my boyfriend, Jo Ki-hang.”

“This is Kim Hyun-woo.”

“This is Hanae Bom.”

“It’s an early port. Nice to meet you.”

A place created accidentally. As the awkwardness and silence began to raise their heads, Jo Ki-hang carefully came out and asked Han Ae-bom.

“Hyeonwoo, are you out now?”

I, too, am I starting to feel a bit of discomfort at the simple question.

“No, come out in the morning and watch a movie. After lunch. Then we came to the café.”

“Movie? By any chance, Dodde Cinema?”

“Oh, right.”

Ki-hang Jo was surprised and smiled.

“Wow, how can there really be such a coincidence? We also saw a movie there today. “The Villainess” Screens at 10:40.”

It’s really awesome. If we do well, we might meet there too. Is it like an inevitable fate?

“What movie did you see?”

“Uh? In the countryside… A movie called.”

“City… In goal? “Has there ever been a movie like that?”

It couldn’t have been the saddest thing in the world. If there had been a film director or official from the countryside here, he might have cried.

“Wait a minute.”

A sincere child who immediately searches on the Internet. Then he paused for a moment, as if checking the number of viewers for ‘In the Country’.

“Ah… “This.”

“You don’t have to pretend you know. There were only two screens: lunch and night. It wasn’t really fun. I thought I was going to die of sleepiness. “How was the villainess?”

“Well, it’s just an okay Korean movie. Moderate action, moderate romance, moderate comedy. It was worth seeing, to what extent?”

It was a fairly comfortable conversation. I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to lighten the mood like taking steps like this and have a conversation about small topics. He’s also a friend I haven’t seen in a long time.

By the way.

“You both really have good makeup and fashion sense.”

The stairs that had been built collapsed completely as Lee Seon-hwa’s words suddenly came in. I guess this is what it feels like when you’ve done a lot of construction and then some naughty kid comes running and steps on it while laughing.

“Ah, you know this…”

“I would believe it if you said he was a real actor.”

Listen to people. You bitch.

Since he stopped talking like this, for a moment I thought I had an anger management disorder. Or am I overdoing it because I already feel so unfavorable towards that woman?

“Ah! By the way, where do you both work?”

What is over? Fuck.

You are right to be disliked. Judging from the fact that Jo Ki-hang calls her sister, she may be the oldest here, but her actions are the most immature. No. In fact, is that bitch the average Korean?

-I heard that one of the things that foreigners have the hardest time adjusting to when they come to Korea is that people try to find out their personal information just by talking to them.

… Someone’s comment said. I finally understand.

Why are you so anxious to find out about other people’s specifications and such?

Han Ae-bom answered casually.

“I’m just working part-time at a study café.”

“Omg. Oh my god! The boys who go to the study café there must really like it.”

Is it sarcastic or a compliment? I can’t even tell the difference anymore. But why does it seem sarcastic?

“What about that one?”

“… “I’m working part-time at a convenience store while preparing for a job.”

“Ah… I see You both were part-time workers. He seemed so mature that I thought he was an office worker. Sorry. “I think you must have been uncomfortable with this question.”

It’s even more frustrating because I can’t tell if there’s malicious intent or not. If it’s pure, then it’s just pure shit, and if it’s intentional, then she’s a real fucking bitch.

‘It sucks to get scratched by something like this. Really.’

Am I sensitive because I have so little? I’m going to turn away. Why is it so unpleasant?

“What about that one?”

Did you think it might get awkward if we just told you? Or are you just asking out of pure curiosity? This time, Han Ae-bom asked in reverse.

“Oh, I work at Heonggang Electronics. “It’s a small company, so even if I told you, you wouldn’t know.”

An Aebom nodded her head.
“I see. This is my first time hearing it. “I guess it’s a small company.”

It’s an incredibly calm answer, but why does it make me feel a little relieved? Is the food you ate for lunch already digested?

Seonhwa Lee flinched, and her eyebrows trembled slightly.

“For now, I’m preparing to change jobs while working at a company.”

“…”

“…”

It seems like a very small spark just flew out.

My friend and I stayed silent as we sipped our already icy coffee. At the same time, if they even make eye contact, they flinch and still convey their feelings of apology through their eyes. When I saw that, I quietly shook my head.

What can I do? It’s not even his fault.

“Oh, what is our port of call?”

“Cough!”

Just then, Jo Gi-hang, who was about to put the ice in her mouth, coughed into his girlfriend’s arms. Even I would be surprised. What is it all of a sudden? If it’s stuck in her throat the wrong way, are you going to do the Heimlich maneuver?

“I’m working as a manager at a place called Mirae Catch. “Isn’t it amazing to be a chief at the age of 29?”

For a moment I was dumbfounded. Because the chief doesn’t know what the word is.

Chief? What rank is the chief? Fuck. You must have been to the company to know this. After the original employee, isn’t it an agent? So, is the chief of some kind like an executive?

“No, that’s because my father’s company…”

“It’s a parachute.”

This time, an Aebom interrupted her. Seonhwa Lee’s eyebrows twitch once again at the explicit word parachute.

On the contrary, Ki-hang Jo calmly nodded his head.

“Yes. You’re right. Parachute. Because my father is the president of the company. Still, I guess it’s because I’ve seen it from the side since I was young. First, I am just doing my role as a chief.”

“Ah. Just because it’s a parachute doesn’t mean it doesn’t have power. No matter what, it is true that having a different starting line from others is itself a parachute.”

At Han Ae-bom’s words, Ki-hang Jo scratched his cheek slightly and nodded. He didn’t look particularly upset.
Actually, what can I say?

When an Aebom brought up something related to her company, she didn’t particularly want to refute it, and she wasn’t overly offended. Because it seems like she’s right.
What. It seemed like there was one person who wasn’t here.

“But. Maybe it’s a really rude question. You two are dating… Right? However, there is a strange sense of distance to it.”

Aside from being rude.

She was a little embarrassed by the unexpected fastball. What should she say? It would be easier to say that we are just dating, but should I say that I don’t want to do that? However, if I say whatever I want, Han Ae-bom may be offended…

“Yes. That’s right. Hyunwoo’s girlfriend.”

In an instant, the discomfort she had been feeling just a moment ago disappeared as the warmth of a child naturally wrapped her arms around her.
