chapter 12
12 – Too many S-class girlfriends (13)
Ding-dong.
I stared blankly at the front door with a stiff face. She was standing at the front door, waiting for me to come out.
“… ….”
I was silent for a moment and fell into thought.
Should I open the door?
I was a little hesitant.
But I decided to shake my head and open the door.
I’ve come this far, but I couldn’t leave the front door, and there was a need to meet and talk at least once.
Also, since she knew the address of my house, if I didn’t open the door now, there was a very good chance that she would come back on her own the next day.
Then there was a risk of meeting other people.
I never had to stop them from facing each other.
If they find out about my affair, I…….
f*ck.
I imagined it.
“I’ll leave now.”
After clearing my throat, I opened my mouth.
The person waiting outside that door is someone I know well.
I moved my steps carefully and reached the front door.
And he put his hand on the doorknob.
Jumping.
The door opened slowly.
Then I was able to confirm the appearance of a human figure in front of the door.
“…… Teacher.”
There was a little girl.
I stood quietly with my head bowed.
Water droplets flowed from the ends of the girl’s hair.
Her clothes were damp, and perhaps because of the thin clothes, her skin was slightly shinning through the rain-soaked clothes.
“…… Long time no see. Teacher.”
Rumble and stomp!
In an instant, thunder flashed.
A thunderclap rang behind her back.
It was a thunderbolt big enough to strike the ear intensely.
Shoot it.
Raindrops poured down immediately.
Her quiet voice melted in the rain.
I looked carefully at her face and said.
“Yes. Long time no see.”
Two sides up, her gray hair was visible.
Water droplets dripped down her hair.
Water droplets ran down his cheeks, ran down his jawline, and soaked into his cleavage.
Her whole body was soaked with rainwater.
“…… Yes.”
Her red eyes darkened.
Is it because of the gloomy weather?
His eyes were darker and darker than usual.
“…… It really is.”
The name of the gray-haired girl is Ryu Ye-rin.
I’ve known her since school days.
Once in a while, I took care of tutoring.
From then on, Yerin called me teacher.
“By the way, Yerin.”
Yerin Ryu has suffered a lot mentally since before.
I took good care of her by accepting her counseling several times to feel sorry for her.
Whenever we had time, we talked often and often ate together.
But after my parents passed away, I couldn’t take care of Yerin.
Since we were busy trying to enter the Hunter Academy, the number of times we communicated with each other has decreased considerably. Afterwards, we only exchanged greetings intermittently.
“You are there.”
I continue talking while pretending to be calm.
The contents of the message I saw earlier were stuck in my head.
The content of the message itself was not a big problem, but I sent too many calls and messages. For some reason, I felt ominous.
“What are you doing at such a late hour?”
I checked the time casually.
It was already approaching 9pm.
I was afraid that Yerin’s mother at home would be worried.
But she just stood there, not answering my question.
“Would you like to come inside? Your clothes are all wet I’ll get you a towel.”
I said with an awkward smile.
No matter what, I couldn’t leave Yerin drenched in the rain.
It was a bit embarrassing to look at the skin through the clothes.
I hurriedly took her into her house.
She kept her lips shut for a moment, then cautiously followed me.
Kikkik. The front door closed with the sound of hinges.
The house was very quiet.
“Yerin. The towel is here.”
“… ….”
Yerin Ryu carefully received the towel.
But her whole body was damp, and her towel wasn’t enough.
She feared hypothermia if she wore her wet clothes for too long.
“I think I might catch a cold. Would you like to wash? I’ll lend you the clothes.”
“…… Teacher.”
“Huh? Ah. Is it okay to wash at my house?”
“…… I’m sorry for coming here so late. It was very nuisance.”
Yerin’s red eyes turned to me.
A group of reddish lights flickered.
I swallowed dry saliva and shook her head well with a wry smile.
“No, what a nuisance.”
He muttered as if it was not a big deal, but Yerin’s complexion was gradually darkening.
“First of all, Yerin, why don’t you wash up? You will catch a cold.”
“…… But.”
Yerin Ryu hesitated slightly.
She For her part, taking a shower at someone else’s house could be burdensome.
But she couldn’t leave Yerin wet.
“It’s okay, Yerin. I know there’s a lot to say, but let’s talk after washing up. What if I catch a cold?”
“…… Yes. Teacher.”
Have my earnest prayers reached the sky?
She nodded her head weakly and raised her face in agreement.
I glanced at myself once, and then moved toward the bathroom.
Before she went into her bathroom, I hurriedly went through her closet and handed her a brand new top and bottom.
Yerin trembled her shoulders once and carefully accepted her clothes.
Soon the bathroom door closed.
I heard the sound of washing.
“Ha ha.”
I sighed and sat down on the sofa.
I was surprised by Yerin’s sudden appearance.
Why did that child come all of a sudden?
Actually what…… I could roughly predict it.
Some time passed while I sat on the sofa and thought.
“…… I washed everything, sir.”
“Oh? Okay?”
I got out of my mind at Yerin’s voice.
The sound of a bathroom door opening knocked in my ears.
I was a little embarrassed because I washed it much faster than expected. She still couldn’t organize her thoughts about Yerin. It was a bit of an embarrassing moment.
“…… I.”
Steam rose in the bathroom.
Among them, Yerin, with her gray hair, glanced at me and cautiously spoke to her.
Yerin is currently wearing the clothes I gave her, but her clothes look quite baggy, probably because the difference between her and mine is so great.
Her T-shirt stretched slightly at her neck, giving a glimpse of her shoulders.
Her collarbone, connecting her shoulders, stood out shyly, and the swollen breasts below it stood out in my eyes.
I could see something slightly rising in the middle of her small chest, and it was Yerin’s…… Ah.
“…… Teacher?”
“Oh? Huh?”
Yerin pulled her clothes lightly and shed her eyes at her claws.
She covered her chest with a sneak peek and her shoulders trembled.
She cautiously looked at me and blushed her neck.
“…… If you look at it like that me, a little bit.”
“Mi, sorry. Ah. Hmm.”
Crazy.
Where are you looking?
I hurriedly averted my gaze.
I’m not a beast in heat, why are you like this today?
It was the same during Kanghwaryun.
Ryu Ye-rin hesitated, lowering her head slightly.
She wriggled her hands, holding the clothes she had been wearing to her chest.
“…… That teacher.”
“Ah, yes. What’s the matter?”
“Can I go to the teacher’s room and talk?”
“My room? Uh, yes OK.”
Why do you want to talk in your room?
Isn’t it usually better to talk in the living room?
Anyway, I tried to calm her awkwardness and led Yerin Ryu to her room.
The interior of the room was fairly simple.
Beds, desks, bookshelves, printers, wardrobes and more.
You could say it was a normal, uncharacteristic room.
But Ryu Ye-rin only glanced around her room to see if she was interested in her.
“… ….”
“… ….”
She fell into a lull for a moment.
There was an unknown silence.
We weren’t originally this awkward.
But today, Yerin felt awkward.
Is it because of the message I saw earlier?
What should I say about the contents of KakaoTalk?
I felt a lot of discomfort.
‘…… I don’t think he’s in a romantic relationship with Yerin.’
I came home at this late hour with a strangely obsessive message.
I wouldn’t go this far unless it was a lover.
I let Yerin secretly let out a sigh.
If it was the same as usual, it would have been a story that could be dismissed as a joke, but considering the many cases that happened today, it could be said to be a reasonable doubt.
‘Can you understand that it’s a situation where you broke into the house of a lover you’ve lost contact with for weeks? It’s embarrassing.’
Of course, there is a possibility that it is not.
Couldn’t you have just come to my close brother out of concern after losing contact with him for weeks?
…… Well, it was a trap that the possibility of that seemed infinitely low.
Anyway, I have no choice but to ask Yerin.
She said, don’t waste your time and ask a quick question.
What was the relationship between you and me?
‘Thankfully, Yerin makes her feel a little less burdened.’
In the case of Lee Ji-hyeon, Choi Seo-yoon, and Ganghwa-ryeon, they were S rank, so she felt a lot of psychological pressure and couldn’t ask questions properly.
“Hey Yerin.”
“Oh, yes.”
I was the first to open my mouth at the moment of maintaining silence.
Yerin showed a slightly nervous look.
I cleared my throat.
“Can I ask you a question first?”
“Yes. Please speak.”
I took my luck slowly.
“What were we doing?”
“…… Yes?”
Yerin widened her eyes.
He looked quite puzzled by my sudden words.
It was understandable because he asked what the relationship was like without any explanation.
“Teacher? What do you mean by all of a sudden?”
“No, that’s what I mean.”
Ah, you skipped too much.
I smiled bitterly as I scratched the back of my neck.
I made a mistake after saying the same thing several times today.
I should have told you that I had amnesia first.
“That’s right. You may not believe it, but I have amnesia.”
“…… Amnesia?”
She murmured very embarrassed.
It was a familiar reaction.
I kept moving my lips.
“Yes. I had an accident not too long ago and was hospitalized, but most of my memories of last summer are gone.”
Upon hearing my words, Yerin raised a worried rhyme while covering her lips with her hand.
“Memory loss, sir, are you okay?”
“Huh? Do you believe it right?”
“Yes, sir.”
“I see.”
I’m just grateful that you trust me obediently. If it were me, I would have dismissed it as a joke.
“Anyway, that’s what I’m talking about. Because I think she has amnesia after an accident where she lost her cell phone? But I just found my phone and read the message from you.”
“Ah.”
“What is the content? I think there is a bit too much of it. You don’t usually do this. Is not it?”
“That is.”
Yerin hesitated, hardening her expression.
She herself seems to know that Kakao Talk is a bit like that.
She broke into a cold sweat all of a sudden and she started making excuses that weren’t excuses.
“No, that’s why…… Teacher. I didn’t mean to bother you, but I was too worried. Sir I am so…….”
“Yerin. Can you calm down and listen to me first?”
“Sir, sir?”
Ryu Ye-rin looked at me with a blurry face, and then she bit her lower lip tightly and lowered her head.
I didn’t know why he was doing this, but she had to ask her an important question anyway.
I spoke to Yerin while thinking about the contents of KakaoTalk from earlier.
“I’ll ask you directly.”
In the time of Choi Seo-yoon, I couldn’t ask directly like this, but not now.
“Yerin, were we dating?”
“Teacher, I was wrong. Sorry for bothering you. Ignore the teacher’s words and go to the house…… Yes…… ?”
Me and Yerin blinked.
Yerin’s face was that she couldn’t understand for a moment.
But after chewing on my words once, Yerin began to harden her expression, and before she knew it, her shoulders trembled and her lips pursed.
“…… Dating? …… Teacher and me?”
“This may sound embarrassing. I mean, looking at the contents of KakaoTalk. What to say We exchanged a lot of text messages in the past, but he said that he couldn’t contact him, so he sent a text message like this, and the contents were a bit…… It seems to be closer than I thought…… That’s why I asked once. You don’t usually come to see me at this time because I can’t reach you, right?”
“… ….”
“I wondered if you and I became lovers while we lost our memories. Oh, if you don’t believe me, can I show you a hospital diagnosis?”
“… ….”
Yerin Ryu doesn’t say anything. She licks her lips and lowers her head.
When he reacts like this, even I get nervous.
Are you at a loss for words because you said something so absurd?
…… It seems to be a similar situation to Choi Seo-yoon’s time.
“Hey Yerin?”
“…… Between teacher and lover. …… Between a teacher and a lover.”
Muttering something.
It’s so quiet that I can’t hear it very well.
Her red eyes flashed strangely.
Under the dark shade, the calmly shining red eyes were clear.
Ye-rin lifted her head to her heart.
“Teacher!”
“Huh? Uh. Okay. Say it.”
“Teacher has lost his memory, so you may not know, but you are right.”
Yerin shook her head vigorously with a reddish face.
“We were dating.”
“Yes. I see.”
Looking at Yerin speaking in a trembling voice, I murmured heartily.
‘f*ck. After all, they were dating.’
I’m not surprised anymore.
Why don’t my forebodings go away?
Her mixed feelings swirled around her mind.
“We are dating…… To be honest, I have no memory of Yerin dating you.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Can you tell me how you started dating?”
“That is.”
Yerin hesitated a little.
It was a hesitation. What does she hate to say?
Her reaction was a bit odd, but she didn’t mind too much.
Considering the situation so far, it would be right for her to go out with Ryu Ye-rin.
It was a moment when I really hated myself.
“Teacher. As for us, what happened…….”
It was then.
– Ding-dong.
The front door bell rang.
I looked towards the front door with a curious look.
What at this time?
Did the parcel I ordered yesterday finally arrive?
At the time I didn’t think much of it.
‘Anyway! Play with Seoyoon and come back home by 10.’
Someone’s voice came to mind inadvertently.
‘Don’t talk nonsense, come back by 10 o’clock. I’ll be going to your house by then.’
Her voice lingered in my head.
– Ding-dong. Ding-dong.
“Who are you at this hour?”
“No way.”
I swallowed dry saliva.
I forgot until now.
What I promised Jihyun this morning.
“Ah…… !”
I reflexively checked the time.
10 P.M.
It was the appointment time.
– Beep. Beep. Beep.
With the sound of entering the password.
Jumping.
The front door opened…… No sh*t!
Joe, you’re f*cked!
