chapter 9
Episode 9. Min-yu couple, the beginning of a crack (2)
Kang Hyeon-woo, a male student in the same class with a bad attitude.
Today is a day to keep discovering new sides of him.
Minsu insisted that he not come to his house. Still, he thought of buying medicine and visiting, but after meeting him, that thought disappeared.
-Hey, you came out dressed like that? If there is no one to play with, let’s play with me.
When I said that I was going home, Hyeonu Kang… No, that’s what Hyeonu said.
Since we’re friends now, I should call him Hyeonu.
I felt an inexplicable joy when I heard the story of how she came out wearing pretty clothes.
‘What?’
The excitement I felt when I was with Minsu, and a slightly different joy. But I didn’t like it.
When asked to eat, I suggested the malatang that Minsu always ate.
Honestly, I prefer a menu like pork cutlet, but Minsu wanted to eat it that way, so I had no choice but to go to a malatang restaurant.
-Originally, all men like malatang.
Listening to what he said, I thought that boys really like maratang.
But pork cutlet.
A man who wants to go eat pork cutlet first.
This is… It’s there.
Yes, even if you spend the same amount of money, it’s less wasteful to spend it on tonkatsu rather than maratang.
So I tried to buy it as cheap as possible. Because I was slowly running out of money.
-Yoo Kyung-ah, remember. Originally, when eating with a man, the woman pays.
There was Minsu’s words, and that’s why.
But he said he would buy his own food. It felt like the common sense I knew was upside down.
While eating, I heard another surprising fact.
Hyunwoo… Rolls.
It was a daily routine for Minsu to take pictures in a pretty and uncomfortable cafe far away when the two of them played.
He told me to quit the cafe and go to the pc room to play a duo.
A guy and you two are in a pc room. Wasn’t this an imaginary story?
So, we headed to the pc room.
“Hyunwoo, what tier are you?”
“Me? Gold.”
“Oh, I am Gold too! Do you want to go to a bot duo together?”
“No, I don’t go to the lower body.”
So, I went to the jungle and Hyeonu went to the tower.
And Hyeonu’s champion is Urun. It’s a tanker with a red goat as a motif, wasn’t this the exclusive property of women?
“Hey, a real man does tanking while smelling sweat.”
Top fights really hard while saying these things.
I picked the Kazaxes and ganked all the way through the entire line.
“Whoa! Sol kill! Hey, did you just see it?”
“No, I didn’t see it.”
“Oh, you should have seen that! It was really crazy physical!”
He plays hard, even sweating.
Somehow I couldn’t take my eyes off the sweat on his neck.
“..Ah, Yoo Kyung! What are you doing!”
“Uh, huh?”
When I came to my senses, my Khazax was killed by the opponent’s jungler who had entered Kajeong.
“Ah, ah! I was thinking about something else for a while.”
Then, Hyeonu puts a headlock on me.
“Hey man, what if I think about something else while playing lol! Stay like this until you return to my line.”
His toned chest muscles touched my head.
I can feel my face turning red.
…It’s embarrassing, but there have been some changes in the underpants as well.
No, this is not my responsibility. Because this is a physiological phenomenon that cannot be controlled.
It’s just… He’s so handsome, his sense of distance is terribly close to him.
At some point, his Urun returned to the line, and the headlock was released.
“..Ah.”
‘Suck?!’
I unknowingly burst into exclamations as if I was regretful, and I was immediately startled.
Sorry? Why?
I can’t regret it. Hyunwoo and I are just friends, and I also have a boyfriend.
Ah, that’s right. Minsu. Are you okay? For a moment, I felt guilty.
Your boyfriend is sick, but you’re playing games while giggling with another guy.
“Hey, what are you doing? You are resurrected.”
But when I saw the look on his face as he looked at me and smiled, the guilt disappeared.
Yeah, Minsu even told me not to come.
And to be honest, I don’t want to break the current atmosphere.
I never knew that hanging out with a guy could be so much fun.
Just looking at a handsome man makes you feel good.
But you do something fun with a guy like that?
Because if you add a good thing to a good thing, it’s even better.
I shouldn’t say this, but it’s much more fun than playing with Minsu alone.
About 3 hours had passed, and by the time the rolls were getting loose, we decided to leave the pc room.
The time I checked on the way out was around 5:00.
“Hyunwoo! Do you want to go to the arcade?”
A place you can never tell Minsu to go to. Occasionally, it ended with shooting games or taking pictures of stickers on the screen.
However, Hyeonu seemed to like the arcade for some reason.
“Huh? I was going to say that too. You said you like fighting games. Let’s do that I’ve tried that too.”
“Oh, really? Okay! Let’s go and do it together!”
‘I must have remembered.’
I just said a word during the self-introduction class, but I was surprised to remember him even after almost a week.
-Oh, is this your favorite cartoon character?
– Huh? Anything else besides this one? Sorry, i forgot
‘..Minsu sometimes forgets what I like.’
I shouldn’t be like this, but I keep comparing Minsu and Hyeonu.
No, let’s stop. Where is the woman who compares her boyfriend to other men?
This is bad.
I headed to the arcade with Hyeonu.
Even the way he walked was good, and a happy smile came out just by looking at his face.
Entering the arcade, we inserted coins into a two-player fighting game and settled down.
“Oh, I will pay for this coin!”
“Yeah, that’s about it.”
Thank you to Hyunwoo for giving me such a fun day when I was supposed to go home today and be alone.
Fortunately, Hyeonu accepted my favor.
We each chose a character and started playing the game seriously.
-Tadak, tadadak
The sound of operating the joystick and buttons resonated.
“What, what is this! 4, 4 Second wind!”
“hahahaha! It’s worse than I thought, Lee Yu-gyeong?”
“Profit..!”
“Puhahahaha! My 3-step combo has no mercy! Grab it… Pasha!”
“Ah! This is a scam! Did you write a speech?”
“What speaker in the arcade? Hey, why can’t you do this? You say you like this?”
Hyeonu is the best. However, the joy and joy of victory strangely made me happy too.
“hahahaha, what a dog! Hey, go practice.”
If only I hadn’t done that.
I was born as a woman, and my pride in gaming is one of the things I can’t fold.
Even if that person is a man.
“Ahh!”
I rallied and concentrated with all my concentration.
-Tadak, Tak
Bottom Kick. Blocking.
Top light attack. Blocking.
Interrupted kick. This also blocks
And the elevation of conversion.
“Ouch!”
A scream finally erupts from him.
“Ha ha ha!”
And laughter rang out of my mouth.
To the surprise of me, the sound of laughter filled with joy and happiness.
And on the screen that went dark for a while for loading, there was a woman with a very happy expression that she had never seen before.
‘Why.. So fun.’
Minsu must be the happiest man when you’re together. Why do I feel this way when I’m with Hyunwoo?
No, it must be because I haven’t played my favorite game in a long time.
“Wow.. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so it’s really fun. Hey, let’s do it again next time.”
“Huh? Next time?”
“Look at the time. It’s already 6 o’clock.”
How many games did you play? It’s already 6 o’clock.
“Let’s go, now. It was time for dinner.”
“Yeah..”
A sound of regret came out of my mouth.
“Puha! Are you so sorry? You can come with me next time, okay?”
“…Yes, let’s come together next time!”
We made a firm promise.
Are we breaking up now? No, I want to continue this atmosphere even a little longer. Being a man, I could feel the atmosphere of playing with girls.
“Then, here…”
When his mouth opened, I spoke urgently.
“Hyunwoo, let’s have dinner together.”
“Huh? I don’t think that will work.”
“Why? No time? It’s Sunday tomorrow!”
“It’s not time, it’s… Mr. Ha…”
Different from the cool personality he’s shown me so far, Hyeonu hesitates for some reason.
“Why? What’s the matter.?”
“Because… The money… Is not enough…”
The thought that crossed my mind at that moment was not the worry of having to spend money to have a meal with Hyeonu.
It was a sense of relief and joy that came from the thought that I could solve the cause of Hyeonu’s reluctance to have dinner together.
“Hyunwoo, I will buy it for you. Let’s eat together.”
“Hey, how do you eat that? Sorry.”
“Don’t worry. You can buy some food for your friends.”
Hearing my words, he suddenly hardened his smile.
Did I say something wrong?
Oh no.
That’s more like a moved expression rather than a bad mood.
“..Friend?”
“Yes, my friend! We played games together and ate together. I was very funny, but were you not funny?”
“No, I had fun too.”
“Yes, my friend! Let’s go. How about kimchi stew?”
Then he said with that broad smile on his face.
“Thank you. Let’s go.”
So, we went to dinner together.
“hahahaha, really?”
“Really! Did he say that at the time?”
There were endless smiles at the dinner table, and he continued to express his gratitude even after the dinner was over.
It was an awkward situation for me to buy food and hear thanks, so I kept saying that I was okay too.
And I was really good. I always bought it for Minsu in the first place.
Still, it wasn’t such a bad feeling to be constantly thanked.
After dinner, we took a short walk together.
And it was only after I calmed down that Minsu came to my mind again.
Should I stop by right now?
No, it was late, and I was told not to come.
It’s next door anyway, so let’s just go tomorrow.
Originally, it is proper for a woman to take a man, but Hyunwoo took me.
Even if he insists on taking him there, Hyeonu insists that it’s okay since it’s not even midnight.
Men need to be more wary of the world.
The next time we meet, I will definitely take you home safely.
Go home, lay down on the bed, and reminisce about today.
A text message with Minsu.
A new friend who might become your best friend.
The time with Hyeonu was strangely enjoyable.
“..hehehe.”
Yugyung, who had been laughing so hard in bed without realizing it, suddenly fell asleep.
… In her dream, a man other than Minsu appeared, but on Sunday morning, she did not remember her dream.
