23 – Seoyun Choi (1)

The night I lost my memory and realized that I was in a relationship with them.

The first thing I did was to check the contents of the text messages on my cell phone.

A lot of messages.

It is the string that connects me and them.

I carefully read the message to find the connection between them.

There is nothing strange about the contents of the message.

As usual, it was full of harmonious content between lovers.

Wonderful small talk, trivial stories, and so on.

It was a message from a man and a woman full of affection.

‘Ha. Really.’

It was really absurd.

It was funny to play around with youth while enjoying octopus feet romance to the fullest.

In the past, how did I enjoy dating with octopus feet?

I tried to deny it, thinking that it couldn’t be because of my personality.

‘I was really a piece of trash in the past.’

While I was checking KakaoTalk history like that.

I discovered a little bit of a strange fact.

Of course, it wasn’t that great.

But it was enough to make one tilt one’s head.

‘Have you never properly expressed affection?’

KakaoTalk content was full of fresh stories between men and women, but strangely, there was no content expressing explicit acts of affection.

Wouldn’t it be nice to send a text message mixed with aegyo once or twice as a joke? A small question lingered in my mind.

However, he immediately shook his head and cleared his doubts.

‘Well, I think Jihyeon would be embarrassed and dislike it, Choi Seoyoon doesn’t look like that, Ganghwaryeon has a very plain personality, and Ryu Yerin… ….’

It was a bit strange, but it could be.

In the first place, people have different personalities.

All four of them could have been stingy with expressions of affection or aegyo.

‘Because KakaoTalk content itself is full of stories that are only for lovers.’

Anyway, I continued looking at the text.

Lee Ji-hyeon, Choi Seo-yoon, Ganghwa-ryeon, and Ryu Ye-rin.

The person who looked the most carefully was Choi Seo-yoon.

This is because Choi Seo-yoon was the only person with whom I had no contact.

Lee Ji-hyeon was her childhood friend, Ganghwa-ryun was her classmate, and Ryu Ye-rin was her younger sister whom she had known since school days.

As much as I had known them to some extent, I had quite a bit of information about them in my head.

But what about Seoyoon Choi?

I don’t know.

We met during a hiatus of several months when we lost our memories.

That’s why there is very little information about Choi Seo-yoon.

All I knew about Choi Seo-yoon was what I found out through the Hunter Gallery and Internet articles.

Of course, I met Choi Seo-yoon once in the middle and got a meal and chatted with him, but it was too short a time to get to know the character Choi Seo-yoon.

I needed to find out more about the character Choi Seo-yoon.

In order for her to ‘gentlely’ break up with her.

“…… Are you here?”

As I parked my used car and reached the front door, I saw the figures of two women.

Choi Seo-yoon and Cha So-yeon glanced at each other.

They met eyes.

“Oh, yes.”

“I’m sorry for coming to you at this late hour.”

Choi Seo-yoon straightly bowed her head and expressed her apology.

I gulped down my dry spit and glanced at Seoyoon Choi.

Clean blouse shirt.

High waist flared skirt.

Thin black stockings.

Standing elegantly, well dressed.

It made me automatically think that the gentle dignity is felt by the wife of a foster family.

Action, look, voice. There was dignity in all of it.

“No. Are you okay. However… ….”

“It’s a sinful statement, but if it’s not rude, can I say it inside?”

I was silent at Seoyoon Choi’s request.

Honestly, I felt a little awkward.

But I couldn’t stand and talk like this, and I also had something to say to Choi Seo-yoon, so I decided to let her into her house.

“Yes. Come inside.”

“Thank you. Mr. Seojun.”

After giving her quick thanks, she turned her head towards her Cha So-yeon.

“So-yeon, please wait in the car. I will go in alone.”

“…… I understand, ma’am.”

Cha So-yeon looked at Choi Seo-yoon for a while and then briefly nodded her head.

She takes one look at me right before going down the elevator.

The emotions that could be seen in her dry eyes were concern and worry.

‘Worry, worry… ….’

I took Choi Seo-yoon into her house, chewing on Cha So-yeon’s eyes.

“Would you like some coffee?”

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

After leading Choi Seo-yoon to the sofa in the living room, I went to the kitchen and poured her instant coffee.

It may not suit the taste of a rich girl, but the only things we could serve at my house were water and coffee.

“Here.”

“Thank you.”

I sat quietly and sipped my coffee.

If drinking instant coffee in such a classy way is a talent, then it is a talent.

“It is delicious. Thank you.”

Choi Seoyoon glanced into my eyes.

“Seojun. I’ll say it again, but I’m really sorry to see you like this.”

Choi Seo-yoon made her apology rhyme and I clapped her hand and said it was okay.

“No. That’s fine. However… ….”

I hesitated, stretching my tail.

But I soon made up my mind.

This is not the time to hesitate.

“Is that why you came here?”

“Yes. By the way, Mr. Seojun.”

The moment I was about to bring up a story, Seoyoon Choi raised her head.

She sat upright, staring at me blankly and pursed her lips.

“You don’t have to say it word for word.”

Is it because you don’t want to hear my excuses?

Or is it to be considerate?

“Because I can understand.”

Choi Seo-yoon looked at me with an understanding look in her eyes, even though she didn’t listen to me.

“The two of you have been together since childhood…… It’s like a so-called childhood friend, isn’t it?”

“Oh, yes, what.”

“I’ve heard a lot about it before. When I was in school, whenever I had free time, I often hung out at home.”

Suddenly, old memories flickered.

At that time, I really enjoyed spending time with Jihyun.

Hunter, monster, wind, cheating, I played without worrying about that…… Now.

“Seojun?”

“Nothing. Keep talking.”

I came to my senses at Seoyoon Choi’s words.

The good times never come back.

“…… I know very well that the two of you have a close relationship. Since we’ve been together since we were young, we must feel close to each other. I can fully understand, Seo-jun.”

I quietly closed my eyes as I spoke softly.

Choi Seo-yoon, who had closed her eyes for a moment, opened her eyes slowly and looked at me with dry but clear eyes.

“But.”

“… ….”

“I am Seojun’s girlfriend, right?”

“… ….”

I was silent, neither affirming nor denying.

“Honestly, I can understand, but it is difficult to empathize. Unbeknownst to me…… At this late hour…… I would like you to refrain from having meetings at home.”

Choi Seoyoon looks a bit sad.

“I’m really sorry if you think I’m interfering, but I hope you don’t do that in the future.”

In Choi Seo-yoon’s eyes, there was only sadness for no reason.

“I trust Seo-jun, but to be honest, I feel a little anxious.”

She continues her story.

“I know very well that Seo Jun and his senior are not like that. But there is a saying that she is a 7-year-old male and female, right? I don’t think it’s right for a man and a woman who aren’t lovers to hang out together in the middle of the night.”

From Choi Seo-yoon’s point of view, it was natural.

Who is going to watch your lover hanging out with another woman late at night?

Honestly, if you were like someone else, you would immediately scream loudly and say, “Hey! Are you crazy?! Are you f*cking cheating!” She had nothing to say even in her f*cking madness, but Choi Seo-yoon was giving me the best of consideration and saying good things.

“…… Seoyoon Choi.”

Choi Seoyoon is probably a good person.

I hadn’t met him a few times, and it was all I guessed through the internet and KakaoTalk history, but I was able to realize that he was a good person.

If it wasn’t for the situation like now, I would have been thrilled with the fact that he was Choi Seo-yoon and her lover, and would have done my best to save her.

But I have Jihyun.

I made up my mind to cut all ties except for Jihyun.

I hesitated for a few days without coming to my senses, but now I’ve really made up my mind. If I act indecisively, not only Jihyun but also the girls suffer. I don’t want to make the same situation happen again.

We had to part for the sake of them too.

To be honest, breaking up right now must be the best choice for Choi Seo-yoon.

“Seojun. I want you to call me Seoyoon, not Seoyoon Choi.”

“I feel comfortable saying this. Seoyoon Choi.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes?”

Choi Seo-yoon’s shoulders flinched at my answer, which sounded somewhat stiff.

“What is that?”

As if it was an unexpected answer, Seoyoon Choi was taken aback.

“Seojun, sir?”

It seemed like an insignificant answer, but Choi Seo-yoon, who recognized the hidden meaning behind it, spoke in an anxious voice with her eyebrows slightly raised.

“No way, Mr. Seojun…… ?”

My eyelashes trembled.

Her hands and shoulders twitched lightly.

The purple eyes mixed with fear and nervousness wavered anxiously.

“Choi Seo-yoon. I will tell you briefly.”

Can I say this now?

To be honest, I was a bit nervous.

That’s because there were a lot of anxiety factors to say so quickly.

Because Choi Seo-yoon and Ji-hyeon had an argument earlier, if something went wrong, Ji-hyeon could be the cause, and it could be a waste.

However, even though this opportunity came, I couldn’t pass it by again.

Because if I passed it over again, I felt like I would pass it over again the next time.

I swallowed a dry gulp and spoke soon.

“Choi Seo-yoon.”

“…… Yes.”

“Let’s break up.”

“…… Yes?”

I calmly said goodbye.
