Perfect Puppy - Perfect Puppy Episode 8

In fact, Haehyun always came home late in the morning at least once every few days. When his large body was buried in the bed, Jaeha would often wake up from a light sleep, and even in a half-asleep state where he couldn’t even open his eyes, the smell of the outside that seeped into his sense of smell was as clear as ever.
In particular, the cool yet sweet scent of perfume was the peak of the sense of discomfort. What is certain is that this is definitely not the perfume that Haehyun wears on a regular basis.
“I don’t have much.”
“okay?”
Jaeha responded harshly. Haehyun pointed out crookedly, noticing that he was speaking as if he didn’t believe a single word.
“I’m sure my senior is the only one who has four hundred friends.”
“What are you talking about? There are a lot of people like that.”
“Do you remember names and faces?”
“Then you call me your friend when you don’t even remember me?”
“Give me your cell phone, senior.”
When I obediently handed over the phone, Haehyun immediately opened the friends list in the messaging app and then paused. My eyes opened wide.
“… “Why do you have so many friends?”
“How many people?”
Jaeha tilted his head and checked together. 2,405 people.
“It’s because I didn’t organize it. “I don’t know half of them.”
Until now, I had met many people while going to school normally, but we called each other here and there, and whenever we went out to a certain event, we would always exchange a few contact information. Therefore, Jaeha’s contact list was so diverse in age and occupation that it was difficult to find anything in common.
As the number of people increased so much, I couldn’t even think of organizing them one by one even if someone changed their number and a profile of someone I didn’t know popped up. I felt like I would never be able to resolve it unless I changed my cell phone number, so I was just pretending not to notice.
“Why are there so many unread messages?”
Before he knew it, Haehyun had forgotten his purpose and started exploring other people’s messaging apps. The number of unconfirmed messages had already exceeded the maximum number that could be displayed, and the mix of group and personal chat rooms with new messages was far from filling the screen.
“Not much?”
Next to him, Jaeha, who was checking the status of my messaging app, responded. How do you know that the contacts that accumulate quickly even if left unattended for a little bit decrease significantly when Jae-ha gets a lover, but when she returns as a soloist, they increase again like her ghost.
Fortunately, I’ve been solo for a long time now, so I’m in a somewhat stable state. In response to the insignificant answer, Haehyun asked in a slightly more serious tone.
“Senior, do you do something like fishery management?”
“what?”
Jae-ha looked at Hae-hyeon in bewilderment.
“Why do I do that?”
“Oppa, I’m so bored. Can you watch a movie with me? “I’ll shoot.”
Haehyun immediately read one of the unconfirmed messages. As I read the charming sentences in a dry tone, I got goosebumps from the sense of disconnect. Jaeha said as if making excuses without realizing it.
“I will refuse that. “I keep asking that question these days.”
He was a junior in my class with whom I was quite close, and at some point he kept wanting to spend time with me, so I was just refusing, making excuses here and there. She clearly knew his intention, but she didn’t want to make her feelings grow stronger by responding. Still, I thought he would have figured it out since he refused a few times, but it seems he hasn’t yet.
“Hmm, yes.”
Haehyun only let out an insincere exclamation at Jaeha’s words and looked through the rest of the message. It was my cell phone.
“There are a lot of people offering to buy me drinks. “Why does your senior have so many older sisters?”
“They’re just older sisters who like to play.”
Jaeha received a lot of that kind of cuteness from wealthy older women. It’s probably a call to come if you’re bored while hanging out at a club or bar. Rather, even if these people refused the work, it didn’t bother them too much, and they just ended up having fun and drinking.
No, from the beginning, Haehyun seemed to think that the business of the people contacting Jaeha was all work, but of course that wasn’t the case. A variety of people would talk to me for a variety of purposes, including everyday small talk, dating advice, meetings, blind dates, bragging about travel, bragging about good restaurants, asking me to go play games or exercise, or going to a hunting bar or club. He even gave Jaeha advice on career concerns even though he was not employed.
“Sisters who like to play?”
Haehyun copied Jaeha’s words exactly. The look in his eyes was as if he didn’t like something else.
“Why again?”
“Don’t bring women with you when I’m here.”
“Am I crazy?”
Jaeha was startled by the unexpected words. No, there is only one bedroom in the house, and there is a guy who breaks into the bed every night. He didn’t get shot in the head, so I asked him if he would bring someone to sleep with him. Jaeha also had some basic common sense.
However, Jae-ha’s immediate answer made Hae-hyeon look even worse.
“You can’t even stay out.”
“… … .”
I really have nothing to say.
To be honest, even if I gave up everything, it wasn’t something Haehyun had to say. It’s really about coming in early in the morning just like eating… .
However, because it was too much of a hassle to argue like that, Jaeha gave up on the conversation and turned his attention to the tablet where he had just turned on a drama. Hae-hyeon clung to Jae-ha persistently, as if chasing him.
“Why is there no answer? Did you try to stay out? when? with who?”
“Isn’t it time to go to school?”
“With the sisters who buy you drinks? “Are you sure it’s not even one person?”
“good. busy.”
I thought it would end, but Haehyun was more persistent than I thought. He continued to pester him for a long time until he was late, but since Jaeha did not deal with him, he was completely upset by the time he left the house, and quietly walked out, muttering rude things about his senior being a flirt. He was very childish.
It would have been fine if it had ended with that, but Jae-ha called again just before Hae-hyun returned home. She was that friend earlier when she was going camping.
“Hang in there. “If you go now, your mother will grab your back.”
– All of that is terrible. I have never seen anyone as healthy as my mom. Let’s play for just one day. huh? Harumaan. Seo Jae Haaa.
While I was trying to calm down my friend who was childishly insisting that I could go without my mom’s knowledge, Haehyun came in with the sound of the door rattling. Thanks to this, Haehyeon had the misfortune of being forced to listen to the charming nasal voice that rang through the receiver as soon as he came in.
“Camping store?”
“no.”
‘Please.’ Hae-hyeon’s expression suddenly worsened after hearing the part, and his question was quite cold. Jaeha immediately shook his head. He wanted to camp with his friends for a day, not keep them camping forever.
– No, you should come with me! What fun would I have without you? Huh? Don’t forget once. please.
Unfortunately, the conversation with Haehyun must have been leaked, and the friend on the phone suddenly reacted. Haehyun frowned and pretended to slit his own throat. … Is that how you usually say to hang up a call?
But it was after that that things got really strange. Jae-ha, who had barely succeeded in coaxing his friend to stay at home, suddenly realized that Hae-hyeon had been loitering around him and not leaving the place throughout the phone call. As I looked to the side curiously, Haehyun, who was using his cell phone with his legs up on the sofa, immediately made eye contact.
“… why?”
“What?”
what? It felt uncomfortable, but I couldn’t pinpoint it.
“no… . “It’s okay if nothing happens.”
I was just arguing with my friend, but it was already dark outside. The playback bar on the tablet on the table had long since stopped in the middle. Now I can’t even remember the whole thing. I was about to go into the bathroom to wash my face out of desperation when Haehyun suddenly asked.
“Are you going out?”
“what?”
“… “Is it real?”
I didn’t know what the context was so I was just asking back, but Hae-hyun suddenly scolded Jae-ha with a serious look on his face, as if he had just received a confirmed answer. Where are you going? Are you going to that friend from earlier? What are you going to do? It’s cold for camping these days. Are you going to drink? It’s late… . He seems to think that he just naturally sprinkled it on during everyday conversations, but from Jaeha’s perspective, he seemed like a person who didn’t care.
Even if they said it wasn’t true, I couldn’t believe it. Rather, ‘Really?’ He made people angry by replying with such distrust.
“Okay, I’m going out. “You can’t just leave.”
Jae-ha, unable to bear the pressure, tried to pick up his coat, but suddenly a strong force snatched it away. The woodcutter who robbed fairy clothes probably wasn’t this desperate.
“Who told you to get out?”
Haehyun muttered softly and hugged the coat he had taken away. Jaeha was so dumbfounded that she stared at him blankly.
