Tuesday, two days later.
I had not yet visited Yoon Hye-yoon.
Things like this had to be resolved quickly so that the feelings wouldn't deepen and the situation would be comfortable for both parties.
I was too tired that day, and my mind wasn't in a state where I could go right away.
Then why didn't we meet yesterday?
This is because I barely studied over the weekend, so there was a mountain of homework.
Thanks to this, yesterday I was buried in books all day from morning to night.
So, I decided to visit today and headed to school for class.
"Ha..I barely got it right on time."
I took a breather as I put the report in the submission box.
I finished the assignment itself in the morning, but I had to come to school anyway because there was an experiment during the day.
To avoid unnecessary back and forth, we met deadlines.
After taking off one piece of luggage, I felt much more at ease.
I checked the time and immediately went up the stairs.
When I entered the lab, there were a few people there.
Among them was Shin A-young, and as expected from an insider, her surroundings were full.
I didn't like that kind of place, so I headed to the corner.
As I sat down and was using my phone, someone sat in front of me.
When I slightly raised my head to check, I saw Shin Ayoung looking at me and waving her hand.
I was definitely sitting in the middle there.
Seeing that he was carrying a bag, it seemed like he had come to change his seat.
When I opened my mouth to say hello, she tapped my phone.
As I stared at it for a moment, not knowing what it meant, a KakaoTalk message rang.
-Ayoung Shin: Hello. Are you feeling okay?
-Park Woo-jin: I got better after I got a good rest that night. Are you okay, Shin Ayoung? She said she felt a little sick at that time.
-Ayoung Shin: I'm fine now. I really thought I was going to die at that time. My vagina was sore that it hurt all night.
-Park Woojin: I'm a bit sorry about that. I've been doing it for a long time.
Shin Ayoung: But it's okay because it felt that good. Have you finished your assignment?
Woojin Park: Professor xx's, right? I just submitted it and am on my way up. But why are you using KakaoTalk when you're right in front of me?
Shin Ayoung: Then, shall we say out loud in front of others that my vagina was sore?
Woojin Park: Let's just use KakaoTalk.
It wasn't even something to talk about.
It was clear that if Shin Ayoung talked to me, everyone here would listen and pay attention.
In some ways, it was a wise decision.
I was killing time by typing like that.
The assistant came in and the experiment began.
It was time to take a break while making eye contact with Shin Ayoung and asking questions about things I didn't know.
When I got up to go to the bathroom, she followed behind me at a distance.
And he took advantage of the absence of anyone to talk to me.
"Hey, do you want to eat dinner together after class later?"
"Huh? No way.."
"What is that look in your eyes? It didn't mean that. It really meant that we wanted to eat."
"That might be a bit difficult. I have something planned for today."
"Hmph.. This was the first time in my life that I invited a man to eat with me. Are you going to trample on my first experience so cruelly?"
"I'm so sorry about that. But today is something really important."
"Okay. If you say that much… then let's eat next time."
After saying that, she went into the women's bathroom.
a little. It felt like I was just slightly upset, but I couldn't help it.
If I don't meet Yoon Hye-yoon today, it's been three days.
This is because it seemed difficult to restore the relationship if it was delayed any longer.
Time passed, and as soon as the experiment was over, I headed straight home.
After a quick wash and putting down my luggage, I rang the doorbell next door.
Ding dong.
Even though I waited, there was no response.
I thought you would be home because it was just time for dinner.
Are they mixed up?
I was kind of nervous, but I lost my nerve for a moment.
I was thinking about sending a message, but something Hye-yoon Yoon said before came to mind.
"You definitely said you would exercise in the evening during exam period."
Since I had to break even, I decided to go to the gym.
It's best if it's there, and even if it's not there, if you come late in the evening, there's a high chance that you'll be home.
Besides, I've been busy these days and haven't been able to exercise much, so it wasn't a bad thing.
I quickly packed my workout clothes and headed to the gym.
As I entered the door, the older sister behind the counter greeted me as always.
"Hello, Mr. Woojin. This is my first time seeing you at this hour."
"Hello. I'm busy preparing for finals. I came here when I had some free time."
"Oh, now that I think about it, it was finals period... So, Hyeyun, it's been a long time since you came."
"Are you there now?"
"Huh? Oh, Hyeyun? It was about 20 minutes ago. It was around that time."
Was it here after all?
She isn't the type of person to go out and about.
I took a quick look and it turned out to be correct.
"Okay, then I'll go in."
"Yes, work hard."
I went inside and started looking around slowly.
But perhaps because it was evening time, there were so many people that I couldn't even spot her shadow.
what. It didn't matter because I didn't expect to find it right away.
He said he came 20 minutes ago, so he won't be leaving anytime soon.
Deciding to warm up first, I went to the treadmill.
"Huuuk…huuuk.."
Even as I ran, I kept rolling my eyes at the mirror in front of me.
It has an eye-catching appearance, so you can probably see it with a quick scan.
Why can't I see it?
After the initially set 10 minutes passed, my body started to warm up and I came down to the floor.
Let's wander along the wall wondering what our next exercise should be.
I could see that the people in front had their heads turned to one side.
Of course, you can't just pass it by.
I approached there to satisfy my curiosity.
"Um… can we have a meal together later?"
"Sorry. I'm full."
"Then... can you at least give me your number? Let's do it together later."
"I don't have any intention of doing that right now. I'm sorry."
There was Yoon Hye-yoon, sitting and resting with an expressionless expression, and a man with his head bowed.
As soon as I heard the conversation, I knew what was going on.
What the counter agent said the other day seems to be true.
It was only when I actually saw Yoon Hye-yoon, who naturally refused the dash, that I could believe it.
"Well... could you please leave now? I'm resting, but it's a bit uncomfortable."
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry.
When the man ran away to another place, people started their own exercise again.
But I kept watching without taking my eyes off her.
Hye-yoon Yoon is wiping away the sweat that seems to be raining with a towel, as if she had been working out quite hard.
As usual, I was wearing tight leggings and a sports bra today as well.
The outfit was so vulgar that even seeing her naked body caused a reaction.
About 3 minutes later.
She continued to rest and look out the window as if she hadn't found me yet.
I took a moment to drink water and bruise with a thoughtful expression on my face.
At some point, my reflection in the glass met her eyes.
A face with eyes getting bigger and the mouth opening.
Really, his inability to hide his expression seemed to be both a weakness and an advantage.
I waved my hand slightly and walked forward.
Then she grabbed a water bottle and a towel and quickly got up.
Without ever looking in my direction. ran away to somewhere else.
I wondered if this was something I should avoid so much, but it also meant that my concerns were that deep.
I felt like we should have a proper talk today.
I followed behind her.
And we spoke in a place where there were few people.
"Hey, Hyeyun. Why do you keep running away?"
"Yes..yes? Huh!? Mr. Woojin. What are you doing at this hour?"
Yoon Hye-yoon looks surprised as if she is seeing me for the first time.
Even though it was obvious that he was acting, I pretended not to notice and continued talking.
"I just have a class during the day today. I stopped by right after it was over."
"Ahaha...really? Then, I'm done working out, so just work hard. Then."
"The counter sister said she came 30 minutes ago."
"...I have a lot of homework today."
As he kept averting his eyes and couldn't keep his body still, I mentioned the incident from earlier.
"I saw you getting dashed earlier. You're very popular."
"Did you see that..? It's just annoying to get it from someone you're not interested in."
"It means it's that pretty, but isn't that a good thing? I've never received a dash in my life."
"...Is it okay to go around saying things like that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, isn't it okay to tell a woman she's pretty anymore?"
"why?"
She remained silent for a moment as the questions continued.
It's as if if I say it out loud, it will become reality. I felt like I felt that kind of anxiety.
"You…you have a friend. So please only say that to her now."
As expected, I definitely heard moaning on Sunday night.
Otherwise, there is no way I would say something like this.
"I don't have a girlfriend? I don't know what you're talking about."
"So! ...Huh? None?"
"I'm a 24-year-old Mosol Huda. And Adah… they gave it to me."
"Ah... well, then..."
She couldn't speak properly as if her brain had stopped.
At the same time, I could see his face turning red, perhaps because of my last words.
Because it seemed like that situation would last for a long time.
I continued to wait for her to gather her thoughts.
"Is it true that you don't have a girlfriend..?"
After a while. She was carefully asked whether she had come to her senses.
When I saw the corners of his mouth rise slightly, he seemed to have relaxed.
"It's true. What's the point of lying about something like this?"
"Then…what was that thing you said with Shin Ayoung in the elevator the other day? What about that noise the night before?"
When a sensitive topic came up, I looked around.
As expected, as expected. As Hye-yoon Yoon and I stayed together for quite a while, people were staring.
"I don't think it's worth talking about here."
"Yes."
She also seemed to realize the situation and lowered her voice.
The biggest misunderstanding was roughly resolved, and when it seemed like I could no longer avoid it, I pointed to the entrance.
"Shall we talk over dinner?"
"Okay. I was planning on eating after the gym anyway."
"You said you were full earlier?"
"...I'm hungry."
So we went to the gym together.
