Chapter 28: Chapter 28
"Okay, Seonghyun. Then I'll send you that text later."
"Okay, go."
"What are you sending?"
"This is homework material."
I don't know why he kept interfering with Sunghyun and me, but Minwoo asked me what he was sending him, so I gave him a vague explanation.
And then I left Sunghyun with his shit-eating expression and rode my scooter far away… .
I stopped at the curve and hid from a distance to watch the situation.
Since I really like hearing secrets, when something like this happens, I end up trying to hide and listen in without realizing it.
I can't hear you very well from here... but there's no way you'd kick me out right in front of the building and have a conversation that would be worth having between the two of you.
If you wait a bit, it's clear that the location will be moved… .
Let's wait a moment. As I thought, I saw two people moving around. Judging by the direction, it seemed like they were going to the back of the building.
thank you
There are a lot of places to hide there.
It's a place where no one goes, day or night. There are benches and statues, so you might think that couples would go there, but strangely, no one goes there.
I went there once to see a statue, but I haven't been back since.
I drove my scooter, parked it in the parking lot, and went inside the building.
On the first floor, there was a glass door right in front of where the two people had gone. There were a lot of luggages placed in front of that door, so even if I got close enough to hear them, I would definitely not be seen.
It's a strange hobby, but when I go to a new place and stay there for a while, I like to walk around and figure out the geography whenever I have time.
The university campus is so large that even most students don't know where each building is, but I have half of the map memorized.
Because I've been there several times for walks.
I walked around the building several times and looked for a place where I could be alone.
In fact, I was looking for couples who were secretly having sex because I was fantasizing about it… .
I've never seen a couple like that before.
When I first entered college, I thought MT was just a sex orgy to welcome freshmen, so I looked forward to when we would have sex… .
A Korean news story about a guy eating bananas in an awkward position on MT ruined me.
It's like dirty news.
When I actually went there, I was disappointed because they only had alcohol and no sex.
When will I start spying on couples having sex?
I have stolen it before, but… .
Strangely, I don't have the luck of peeping, but I often end up eavesdropping.
Sex, hearing couples who seem to be on good terms fighting behind each other's backs, or eavesdropping on family finances you don't want to hear about.
There were many times when I overheard it unintentionally, and since I walk so quietly, there were times when I heard people swearing at me while following behind me with the intention of surprising me.
At first I didn't like hearing things I didn't want to hear, but now I think it was a good decision to listen.
Even when I heard that my family didn't have much money, I didn't care about that at all and lived my life spending money recklessly. After hearing that, I started to save money. After hearing people criticize me, I also stopped being friends with people who criticize me.
Thanks to hearing me swear, I became close with my brother who defended me. It was strange, but he said that if you get to know him even a little, you'll be able to see that he's a really good guy.
That guy was openly cursing at me, so I sarcastically said, "At least he's not the type of guy who acts friendly in front of you and curses behind your back," and I ended up getting cursed at by those guys, saying that I was unlucky...
Because things like that have happened, I think it's good to know whether it's good or bad.
There were many instances like this where I went out to steal it myself.
There's no particular reason for eavesdropping, I just go to listen because I'm curious about what they're talking about. To be honest, if I get caught or something, I'll be treated like an unlucky person... but if I don't get caught, it's a jackpot.
"Seonghyun…, hyung…, speak…."
Oh, I hear you.
I couldn't hear very well so I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I could hear voices.
I think it's been a while since we started talking.
Fortunately, I was able to get to a place where I could eavesdrop before the conversation ended, so let's start eavesdropping now.
I approached them, holding my breath and making quiet noises, and positioned myself in a position from which I could better eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Phew…."
"I told you to stop sighing and start talking."
"What are you talking about?"
"Seonghyun, if there's something you don't like about me, just tell me. It's frustrating, hyung. Aren't you the type of person to get angry over things like that? If there's something you don't like, just say it. Don't you think you'll understand if you just say it?"
Wow… This again.
I remembered that I didn't like it.
And in the end, Sooyoung was the first to apologize after always swearing behind my back because of the money he borrowed. Sooyoung's family is really poor.
He even told me that he was thinking about dropping out of college even though he was accepted to a prestigious university because the tuition was so expensive.
Just like Sunghyun and I, Sooyoung hyung lent money to someone thinking they wouldn't pay it back, but he never got it back.
In the end, Sooyoung-hyung was afraid that if he kept going like this, he wouldn't get paid and would get cursed at every time we met and get beaten up if he asked for money, so I convinced him to just endure it and apologize, and he bowed and went in first. Then Minwoo-kkie said, "I'm sorry too, hyung! You punk!" and it was a happy ending~.
… I think he really is mentally ill.
Seong-hyeon knows about it well because Soo-young and I have told him about it many times.
"I told you, I have nothing to say."
That's probably why Sunghyun doesn't trust Minwoo and doesn't say anything. He probably doesn't want to end up like Sooyoung if he says something. Sooyoung is big so he can withstand being hit, but Sunghyun's body can break his ribs if he gets hit badly.
Even when I saw Sooyoung hyung sometimes, he would look dazed… .
Suddenly, I start to respect Sooyoung, who spent half a year with that guy.
There really was no one to take care of me… I miss my older brother Sooyoung who went to the military.
"Seonghyun, is it that bad that my brother asked me to introduce you to that girl?"
"It's not just once or twice that you ask me to introduce you to someone, you ask me every day."
"You know that when something happens, you're the type of person who deals with it right away, right? Seonghyun, when something needs to be done, you have to deal with it quickly, right?"
That person hasn't paid back the money he borrowed for a year!
Is it really that fast?
"Seonghyun, I know you're lonely. Can you help me with my dating life?"
"Why should I help you with that?"
"Seonghyun, you're the only way I can contact that girl."
"That's why I don't know your contact information either."
"Swoop… hoo…."
I can hear Minwoo sighing.
It sounds more like smoking than sighing.
"Hey Seong-hyeon, do you think that makes sense? No matter how much I listen to it, it still sounds a little weird to me? Seong-hyeon, what you're saying doesn't make sense. What are facts? Facts. Truth. Do you know what that means in Korean? A fact is something that makes sense. It seems to me like it doesn't make sense at all, doesn't it?"
"Something doesn't seem right."
"Seonghyun, do you really not know?"
Maybe you're asking because you don't know?
"Seonghyun, you said you were going to eat with that girl before, didn't you? So does that mean you just meet her on the street and decide to go eat? That's not true. Oh, of course that could happen? But it didn't seem like that to you, hyung? Don't you think so? You clearly made a promise and met, right? But what do we usually do when we make a promise? A phone call, a cell phone. That's what we do, right? A promise is when we talk about where to meet and where to go. But you don't know her number. I don't understand what she means at all. Is it because my hearing is weird... or is your explanation weird? Can't you tell the answer right away?"
When Seonghyeon doesn't answer, Minwoo continues talking.
Certainly, if we listen only to what Minwoo says, it is a strange situation.
But if we look at the facts, there is not a single word in that statement true… .
First of all, I happened to hear Sunghyun and Minwoo talking, so we didn't meet up and we didn't have an appointment, and Sunghyun really doesn't know my contact information as a woman.
"Oh, so that means it wasn't a meeting we had promised to meet."
"Seonghyun… That's why I said that doesn't make sense."
But, this isn't the first or second time that Minwoo has done something like that.
He never accepts as fact any part of what someone else says that he doesn't like. That guy is just like that.
He is also quite good at talking on such topics, so it is a bit difficult to have a conversation with him. Furthermore, when he meets someone who is not as good at talking, he mixes in English and makes it even harder to understand, which annoys the other person.
Seonghyeon is telling the truth, but this is completely making Seonghyeon into a liar.
"Seonghyun, I understand everything. Right, you meet a pretty girl, but you don't want to introduce her to other people. That's what all men are like. But this is a bit too much... Can't you tell that you have feelings for that girl? But if you do it like this, don't answer her calls, and don't even think about talking, then that's not right. If you say no, then you won't do it."
"But why are you doing this?"
"Seonghyun, did you tell your hyung that you didn't like it? I don't think he heard that."
Even just listening to his voice, I can feel Seonghyeon's emotions.
Seonghyun is not good with words, so there is no possibility that he will push Minwoo through conversation. If you think about it calmly, he is a kid who can think deeply, but his ability to make judgments and come up with ideas right away is lacking…
"I told you to just tell me that you don't like something if you don't like it, right? Seong-hyeon, you're not saying no right now, you're just running away... You shouldn't run away when you go out into society. If you want to do it, then do it. If you don't want to do it, then don't. You have to be precise and organize it, and there are times when you have to do it. Times when you have to do it even if you don't want to. Of course, I'm not saying that right now is the time, but I think you shouldn't just run away like this, right? Seong-hyeon, am I wrong?"
"…no."
"I told you no, didn't I? You know deep down right now, right? But if you don't admit it and keep doing this, you'll just end up running away."
Seonghyun, be patient.
Just bear with it, and come back to me later… You weren't wrong or did anything wrong, you were just fooled.
With that thought in my mind, I sighed through my nose so as not to make a sound.
"Yeah, it was my fault. It was my fault for pushing you like that even though you said no."
"…."
"But Seonghyun, it's not that I did it to bother you or make you uncomfortable. It's because you didn't say no outright. No, it's just that I pushed you, so it's my fault."
I got out! I was wrong, but that's why you did it. But I was wrong, so I'm sorry and rationalize my actions!
I've been through that a lot too. When you cut off a conversation like that, I'm speechless.
"And why can't I contact you? Your phone always says it's turned off."
"I changed my number because I couldn't get through to my old number."
"Then shouldn't I contact you? I told you that I changed my phone number."
"…."
"No, that's okay. You must have been busy with work too, so you couldn't contact me. Just contact me later, hyung."
Are you saying that even though you noticed it or did you really not notice it?
There is a sound of something hitting something. Judging from what happened when Sooyoung was younger, it is assumed that she forced her arm around Sunghyun's shoulder and hit him on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, hyung. Stop being angry."
"…yes."
"But Seonghyeon, since you're asking me to do this, can you not give me that girl's phone number?"
"I really don't know."
"Really?"
"He said he doesn't have a cell phone. Seriously, I don't even know his contact information."
"Okay, then how do you contact me?"
Even though he knew what he said was wrong, he didn't even apologize.
On Sooyoung hyung's birthday, you accidentally burned Sooyoung hyung's arm with a cigarette, and you said it was heaven's punishment because you made a stupid joke, and Sooyoung hyung didn't ask you to apologize, so you didn't even apologize.
That apology was also a bit harsh when I told him a few days later that it was a bit harsh, so he ended it later by saying, "Were you sick? If you were sick, why didn't you tell me? I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
"I told you I couldn't contact you."
"Really? Oh, what should I do? Since Pepero Day is coming up soon, I was planning on getting closer to you."
The voice is getting farther and farther away… Minwoo must be forcing his arm around her and dragging her along. While thinking to himself that it ended well.
Fortunately, Seonghyeon didn't bring up my story.
There is no mention of me being contacted or of messenger.
Phew… .
I don't think the sparks will fly to me.
I was worried that it would be embarrassing if we ran into each other while leaving the building, so I hid in the same spot I was hiding in and spent about 10 minutes there.
In the end, was that little bastard Minwoo just trying to harass Sunghyun for not introducing him to a woman?
It's really bad quality. In two words, it's low quality.
