Dohwa, who was sleeping, felt a hand touching his wrist. The hand movements were quite gentle and gentle. Even though I was just touching it, it felt good. Dohwa, intoxicated by the mysterious sensation, opened his eyes. Then she felt as if she had entered a blue sea. This was because Minjun was lying down on top of him. He was touching Dohwa’s fingers with serious eyes.
“uh? “Minjun?”
Dohwa was embarrassed and wondered why he was like this. It felt like gauging the thickness itself rather than simply touching it. Dohwa faced him with a confused mind.
“I think my fingers are thinner than last time.”
“ah… … .”
“I’m worried that I can’t lose any more weight now.”
Min-jun stroked Do-hwa’s cheek in a circular motion as if he was concerned.
“I prepared breakfast for you, so be sure to eat it all. “I made braised ribs, which my senior likes.”
Minjun got up from the bed. He was wearing a white dress shirt and suit pants. Soon he put on the suit jacket that was hanging on a hanger. His broad shoulders and graceful figure stood out. He was dressed somewhat unnaturally for going to school. As far as Do-hwa knows, Min-jun has a major class in the afternoon today… … . He looked puzzled and raised his upper body.
“Are you still working with the secret agent today?”
“Oh, I quit the CIA now.”
“what? really?”
“To be precise, the situation has been reported to headquarters.”
“Still, it would be a shame.”
“Now there is no reason to work there, and more than anything, it is not easy to date or get married if you become a secret agent.”
Suddenly, Do-hwa wondered if the reason Min-jun rejected her request for a relationship was because of the CIA. So, will he date me once his resignation is completely complete? Judging from the nuance, it seemed like that. But, I’m quitting anyway, so what if I wait a few days and start dating? Why are you doing that, really? Dohwa became increasingly narrow-minded in his mind.
Minjun, perhaps aware of Dohwa’s feelings, stood in front of the full-length mirror with a faint smile on his face. And he tidied up his clothes.
“Today, my senior is going to school alone. Have lunch with Woo Ji-min or that woman. “I have business to attend to.”
“huh? “You said you were retiring?”
“I have other things to do besides that.”
Eventually, he approached the table and picked up the lens case. These were the colored contact lenses that Minjun always wore whenever he went to school. But Minjun picked up the case and threw it into the trash can.
“Why are you throwing it away?”
It was even new. Of course, it was nothing compared to the money he had committed so far.
“I don’t think I need to wear brown contact lenses anymore.”
“hmm? okay?”
Minjun’s beauty definitely shined brighter when he had blue eyes.
“But why have you been wearing these lenses all this time? “Wasn’t it uncomfortable?”
“They say my eye color is unique, so it’s easy to attract people’s attention. That’s why I made it brown.”
“ah… … .”
In fact, it didn’t seem to have much effect. No. If I had gone to school when I had blue eyes, I might have made more of a splash.
“Originally, many secret agents are ordinary-looking people. If you are too handsome or pretty, you will often be at a disadvantage because people will attract attention to you. So I thought it was a good fit.”
“huh? What did you say just now? “Are you saying your face is ordinary?”
“sure.”
Minjun nodded and looked in the mirror. He touched my cheek as if assessing my facial features. Do-hwa wondered what kind of bullshit he was hearing. According to members of the Lewis Family, there are many Omegas who follow Minjun, and he is a guy who creates all kinds of buzz at Korea University. It was clear that he was being cowardly under the guise of humility. Minjun looked away from the mirror, walked over to Dohwa, and sat down on the bed. And then he gently touched Dohwa’s hand.
“We eat dinner together. “I made a reservation at a nice restaurant.”
“huh. okay.”
Dohwa nodded.
“Are you going to come to school looking like that?”
“Well, time is running out so there’s nothing we can do.”
“okay… .”
I thought Korea University would be noisy today because of Minjun wearing a suit.
“Then I’ll come back.”
Minjun whispered sweetly and kissed Dohwa. Dohwa’s stomach felt warm as the kiss felt like a small attack. He was so sweet, but why did he reject my confession? I was disturbed in many ways.
ꕥ
After eating the breakfast prepared by Minjun, Dohwa headed to school. The new officetel was closer to the university than before, so it was within walking distance.
“Oh, it’s dangerous!”
A man on a bicycle ran across. Startled, Dohwa threw his body to the side. Fortunately, the bike passed safely. Dohwa stroked his chest. If he had done something wrong, he would have been in big trouble. It was because I was so full of Minjun’s thoughts that I couldn’t properly discern what was in front of me. Now that I’m not alone, I have to be even more careful… … .
Now I had to tell Minjun the baby news. However, I couldn’t understand Minjun’s feelings when he rejected my request for a relationship, so I couldn’t even guess his timing.
“bad guy.”
Dohwa was upset and muttered. He promised himself that he would ask Minjun one more time tonight why he rejected him. Should I get angry or just cry? Dohwa, who had been thinking about various options, entered the campus before he knew it. As I walked to the Business Administration Building, a scene different from usual unfolded.
Dohwa usually has no presence. I had to see him as an almost invisible person. But all the students passing by were glancing at the painting. In that gaze, negative auras of strangeness and discomfort coexisted at the same time.
“I’m too angry!”
Dohwa looked back at the voice calling me. Woo Ji-min and Kim Soo-yeon were approaching.
“You should go to class today with a big heart.”
Woo Ji-min said with a concerned expression. Even without doing that, I had a feeling that something big had happened.
“What’s wrong?”
“Yesterday, Si Hyo-jung posted a feed of you and Min-jun on her Instagram.”
“what?”
“They wrote all kinds of insults about betas dating each other and saying it was disgusting. I knew he was a bad person by nature, but he must have been drunk when he wrote it, so the spelling was all wrong and it was a mess. “It’s because it’s spread so much now.”
“Recently, you and Minjun have been hanging out a lot and there is a lot of gossip coming out, so I think it’s causing more trouble. But why did Si Hyo-jeong post something like that? “What did you do with her yesterday?”
Yesterday at a cafe, I said that Minjun and I were dating, so it was a natural result. I decided not to be conscious of other people’s opinions, but when it came to it, the weight was enormous. Dohwa hesitated for a moment and then slowly gave her answer.
“Yesterday he called me and asked me what my relationship was with Minjun.”
“So you said you were dating?”
“ah… . what… … .”
Dohwa couldn’t bear to say yes, so he hesitated. Yesterday, she shouted in front of Woo Jimin that she was not dating Minjun, but now she couldn’t even say that. Also, since Minjun had refused to date me, I couldn’t answer even more clearly. Woo Ji-min touched his forehead.
“Why did you touch Si Hyo-jeong’s nose hair? “Don’t even look at your phone today.”
“why?”
“The group chat has completely turned upside down. “Just not watching is good for your mental health.”
Human psychology is that when you tell people not to look, they want to see more. Dohwa was fiddling with the phone in her pocket. She was glad she had it set to silent. At that time, a girl approached Dohwa. She was a junior who was active in the same volunteer club.
“I… … . Senior Dohwa, are you really dating Cha Minjun oppa, or rather senior?”
She looked like she was going to burst into tears at any moment. Dohwa hesitated, unable to easily answer in the face of her crying face. Then, her junior seemed to feel that Dohwa’s attitude was positive and immediately ran to where her friends were. Then the group was all shooting the fuse. She felt like a terrible sinner.
“under.”
Woo Ji-min sighed and patted Do-hwa’s shoulder.
“don’t mind. “They are strange.”
“… … .”
“You are worthy of being next to Minjun.”
Woo Ji-min and Kim Soo-yeon comforted her, but Do-hwa was not at ease.
ꕥ
As I entered the classroom, this devastation increased. Wherever Dohwa passed, pointed gazes followed. It was so burdensome that I was going crazy. I sat in a corner seat and listened to class. And as soon as the professor left, he ran out into the hallway. After repeating this a few times, it was already afternoon.
The next class was canceled in an hour. I usually read books or check my phone at the library or convenience store, but today I thought it would be better to avoid going to places where there are people.
“Should I just go home… .”
Dohwa, who was muttering to himself, shook his head. When I thought about my grades, I couldn’t bear to do that. There were also criticisms as to why he had to step down when he had not committed a crime. It seemed like I would have to hide somewhere with few people and then come out. Are there any empty classrooms? Dohwa wandered around here and there. Then I saw a door.
Then, we reached room 304 of the Korean pavilion, which is usually used only when large-scale classes or events are held. When there were no special events, the place was mostly empty. I slowly opened the door. I saw a quiet interior with long desks and chairs arranged in layers. There was not a single shadow of an ant to be seen.
I felt lucky that there was no one there. Perhaps because I was exhausted from dealing with people all day, I was tired just thinking about moving to another place. Because I was pregnant, my physical strength dropped even faster. Dohwa went inside. She went down the stairs and sat down in her corner seat.
“Huh, I’ll live.”
Only then did Dohwa feel stable and leaned back in his chair. Even now, the school is in chaos without Min-jun, so what will happen if Min-jun shows up? Just thinking about it made me dizzy. I just thought it would be better to go separately today. I don’t know if Minjun will accept it though.
Anyway, I wanted to send at least a warning message to Minjun so that he wouldn’t face this embarrassing situation defenseless.
Dohwa took out his phone. When she entered the chat, she was in a mess just like Woo Ji-min said.
Dohwa was horrified and left the chat room. She soon checked the text message from Jihoon Lee.
<Hey, I’m angry too. What happened to you now?>
It was the first time I had heard from him in a long time since I saw him at the villa.
<It’s been a while since I entered the school community. Isn’t this your story?>
Jihoon Lee sent an address link. Even without looking, I could guess what it was about. I thought about whether or not to touch it, but an impulsive question came first. Trembling, I touched the address. The Internet app was activated and community posts were visible.
<The girl who is dating Cha Min-jun is active in a volunteer club>
He said he was a 4th year student in the same business department.
He’s also quite popular, but compared to Cha Min-jun, he’s ordinary, so I think a lot of people talk about him.
The comments that followed were full of gossip about Dohwa. The reason for being active in the volunteer club was to seduce Min-jun, and the rumor continued that the two of them were not compatible at all.
<This is your story, right? Me too, are you okay?>
Dohwa did not respond to Jihoon’s subsequent text message. I also turned off the community window.
