Side Story Episode 17

“It’s only been six years.”

“Six years is such a long time.”

“No, it’s not long. My brother thinks so too. so… … “So you couldn’t contact me?”

Yi Jeong lowered his eyes. She was speechless.

6 years ago. When Lee Jeong was twenty years old.

Lee Jeong’s parents passed away.

It was an accident. Traffic accidents occur hundreds of times a day, not just a year.

Of course, the accident that Lee Jeong’s parents suffered was one of the rarest serious accidents among them. Four people died instantly at the scene of the accident. Two of them were Lee Jeong’s parents.

Lee Jeong-eun had no brothers. The funeral was held with the help of his relatives. When his funeral and the 49th anniversary were over, Yi Jeong was finally left alone.

One day I fell asleep alone in the apartment where I lived with my parents. Lee Jeong experienced first-hand what it was like to feel like you were going out of your mind from loneliness. She had a nightmare and woke up in the middle of the night and stayed up until dawn, when she suddenly got the idea that she should go to the military.

So I applied for military service, took a leave of absence from school, and enlisted. While he was in the military, Yi Jeong got along reasonably well.

The problem came after I was discharged from the military.

I couldn’t sleep. I needed someone. A living person. A person whose heart beats and radiates warmth. Someone who will lie next to me and breathe in and out regularly.

“That’s when I met my first lover… … Oh sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“It’s just useless talk. “Pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“no, I do not want. I already heard it. Please keep talking.”

“… … “It must be an uncomfortable story for you to hear.”

“are you okay. “It’s about my brother.”

You said you would tell me everything. Please tell me everything. I want to know a lot about my brother. So much.

Wooyeon clasped Yijeong’s hand and begged him.

Yi Jeong quietly looked into her lover’s eyes. After a while, she reluctantly continued her speech.

“He was three years older than me. How did we meet? … .”

I haven’t slept properly for three days. At 2 a.m., Lee Jeong ran out of the house. She took a taxi and headed to the downtown area where there were bars that stayed open late. Let her drink some alcohol and pass out. I’d rather do that. While she was thinking that, she entered a random bar.

“We met at the bar we went into that day. While we were both drunk, we happened to exchange contact information… … “We started dating.”

In fact, that day, Lee Jeong was heavily drunk and spent the night with a man. She and she learned. How to fall asleep by abusing her body.

The man who started dating Lee Jeong after a one-night stand was a truly messed up person. That fact actually helped Yi Jeong at the time. As if to blame herself, Lee Jeong regularly slept with her inconsiderate lover and barely managed to fall asleep.

“And we dated for about 3 months and then broke up.”

“why?”

“That bastard is having an affair.”

“I’m really annoyed… … “I think it’s fortunate.”

“what?”

“If that person hadn’t cheated and my brother had been dating that person for a long time, I might not have met him.”

“Well, if it were… … .”

Yi Jeong chuckled.

“I would have become trash.”

“What do you mean?”

“What I’m saying is that you probably turned a blind eye to your long-time lover.”

“… … “Are you saying that even if my brother had a girlfriend, he would have fallen for me?”

“huh.”

“Am I that attractive? To my brother?”

“I told you. “There are only parts of you that I like.”

“… … Well, I’m your ideal type.”

“okay.”

“I’ve only seen it once in my life. Right.”

“that’s right.”

Wooyeon pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled. Then he said:

“Okay, now tell me the next story. What after you break up with that person? “Did you start dating someone else right away?”

“No, back then… … .”

Although she said it briefly to Wooyeon, Yi Jeong actually broke up with her first lover in a very dirty situation. When she was grabbed by the hair by her lover’s lover – who, of course, he was also a man – came to the cafe, she honestly thought that she should stop dating. This was crazy.

After giving up dating like that, I had time to spare. She started working part-time on weekends. There was no need to make money because her parents left behind plenty of property and insurance money, but she just wanted to do something.

Even if I work part-time, I still have time left. I consistently had trouble sleeping. Still, she didn’t want to go through the crazy thing of dating again, so she thought about it and joined the school club. She was in a classic movie club, and one day the club president suddenly recommended a game instead of a movie.

And Lee Jeong accessed ‘Eleven Wizard’ for the first time that day.

“Wow, that club president was someone who knew something.”

“But she quit Eleven after a week.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“They criticized it for being a manga game that doesn’t even allow you to level up. I must have died a few times on the hunting grounds. “Before the Eleven patch, if you died at low level, your experience would drop by about 30%.”

“… … I don’t know. “Because I didn’t die.”

“really? Have you ever died in a hunting ground? never?”

“yes… … But I don’t know why I die. “When the blood runs out, you can just drink the potion, right?”

Yi Jeong could not find anything to refute. I know.

“hmm… … “Maybe he died in the beginner’s grave?”

“Is this the map where ghosts appear when you dive?”

“uh. “A lot of low level people die there.”

“But why are you diving in the hunting ground? If something urgent comes up, shouldn’t you just go to the cash shop? “It’s much safer there than the hunting grounds.”

I know… … ?

“… … Well, anyway.”

Yi Jeong changed his words. He decided to stop defending his old club president. He couldn’t think of anything to say in defense.

“Actually, at first, I didn’t plan on playing Eleven for very long. But when I actually did it, it was fun. So I continued. And what was surprising was that the more I played Eleven, the better my insomnia got. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but as I got closer, I could clearly see the difference. What about when it’s been about 3 months since you played the game? From then on, I was able to sleep almost as well as before. So, like before my parents passed away.”

“I have a question. “Your character’s nickname was Jipmunseoju from the beginning?”

“huh.”

“Why did you name it that way?”

“that is… … “Well, it’s a bit embarrassing to talk about.”

“why?”

“… … Actually, my first lover did that to me. “She says she can never break up with him unless he gives her the house papers.”

I said those words while holding Yi Jeong’s hair in a cafe in broad daylight on a Friday. Yi Jeong was mesmerized.

I came to my senses later and thought about it. Crazy, famous quote.

“Those words were not forgotten even as time passed. So I took that into consideration when coming up with a nickname.”

“… … “It’s absurd.”

“Oh, I think so too.”

“Then the reason you always asked for my house documents through chat was just a joke?”

“huh. “I came up with a concept to fit the nickname.”

“… … “Then, brother, aren’t you very happy when you receive the house papers?”

“why? To give it to you?”

“… … .”

“… … Don’t give it to me. I do not need. got it? Wooyeon, don’t give me the house documents.”

“yes.”

I’m sure you understood correctly, right? After carefully examining her young lover’s face, Yi Jeong opened her mouth again. She continued the story with a long way to go before finishing it.

“Anyway, the insomnia disappeared, and I thought I was completely fine. however… … .”

It was a mistake.

Yi Jeong got better, but he wasn’t ‘completely’ better.

It was about a week before my parents’ anniversary.

Lee Jeong realized that my condition was not normal.

“I started not being able to sleep again. Symptoms of anxiety also came… … Later, I also had auditory hallucinations.”

I went to a psychiatrist and was prescribed sleeping pills. She took sleeping pills and forced herself to sleep. She had a nightmare. In her dreams, her parents had accidents dozens of times.

After suffering from nightmares for several days in a row, Lee Jeong threw the sleeping pills in the trash. She also said she had barely slept for nearly three days.

On the day of the death date.

Yi Jeong was literally out of his mind. Instead of the Incheon charnel house where my parents’ ashes were kept, I headed to a bar. I drank like I was going to die tomorrow.

And then I met my second lover.

The second lover was also not a very sane guy. He was only slightly better in bed manners than her first lover, but it was still a bit of a comeback. No, overall, he was a worse partner than my first lover. This kid was even obsessed with Yi Jeong.

We met for 3 months. One day she came to her senses. She even broke up with her fists.

The next year.

The anniversary of her parents’ death came again, and Lee Jeong found her third lover. A few months later she broke up with him.

“… … Then I see you next time.”

“… … .”

“You’re actually the first lover I’ve ever had with a sound mind.”
