Episode 30
“Well, I’ll get your phone number when your aunt gets to work, so that’s it until then.”
“When does your aunt go to work?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
It was a special treat that lasted a little over 24 hours. But for so reason, Jaeyoung felt a tickle in his heart knowing that even for that short ti, he had beco the only person saved in the phone book.
“I have to ask if you can look after my house even after I move.”
“yes?”
“I’m moving. As soon as possible. “I don’t like people who co to without saying anything, and this house feels so desolate.”
At Seunghyeon’s words, Jaeyoung turned his head and looked around the house. There were so parts where things were a little scattered, but the rest of the place was neat and tidy to the point where it was a bit creepy.
It wasn’t just because it was well cleaned or organized, but it also seed to be because of the interior, which was entirely in neutral colors.
“Where are you going?”
“I was looking for that.”
“hmm… “Do you have a specific neighborhood you prefer?”
“I just hope it’s a comfortable place. “There are several cars, so it would be nice to have plenty of parking space.”
Seunghyun said, thinking of his cars lined up in the parking lot. Although I didn’t necessarily need to go to a mansion with a garage, it felt quite nice to change cars depending on my mood and needs.
‘It’s fun to drive… .’
“I’ve looked at a few apps, but haven’t decided yet.”
“You have to go out and find a house yourself. “Is there anything else you want other than ample parking?”
“I’m thinking of completely renovating the interior, so I don’t like things as dark as this house, and I want to go sowhere where I won’t run into anyone I know.”
Seunghyun went to the sofa and sat down. Seunghyeon picked up the tablet again and showed Jaeyoung the house he was looking at.
“How is it? “First of all, this is the place I like the most.”
“This place… “It must be quite far from where I live now.”
“That doesn’t matter. “I used to live there anyway because it was close to my company, but now I don’t have to go to work anymore.”
Seunghyun shrugged his shoulders and said. In fact, the biggest reason I wanted to get out of here was because this house was close to Chairman Han’s house.
‘Damn you old man… . I don’t want to run into you even by chance.’
“Is this the only candidate? “You’re not doing any remodeling or anything like that?”
“Remodeling… “Wouldn’t it take a long ti?”
I don’t know if I’ll be alive until it’s over. Seunghyun flipped through the tablet screen.
“I thought it would be okay here and here. But I guess it’s because this isn’t Seoul… .”
“I like it here.”
Jaeyoung, who was looking at the screen, suddenly grabbed the tablet and prevented Seunghyun from turning the screen. The conditions were good, but I was a little worried because it wasn’t in Seoul.
“It’s just a quick ride on the highway anyway. How good is the road here? Doesn’t the garden look pretty and relaxing? “There aren’t a lot of people living in this neighborhood, so you won’t get involved in troubleso things.”
“Yes, but… . I think it would be inconvenient for the lady to go to work. “I’m too lazy to get a new one.”
The person who originally worked there is comfortable. Seunghyeon thought like that and looked at the screen where Jaeyoung had stopped.
I had a dream about a garden. So, I bookmarked it while mainly looking at Seoul, but it was not a house that I prioritized.
“If that’s the problem, I can introduce you to soone new.”
“… “I’m asking just in case.”
As Seunghyeon was quietly listening to Jaeyoung, a hypothesis passed through his mind. Seunghyun asked, looking at Jaeyoung’s face.
“Do you live around here by any chance?”
“this. “He’s quick to notice.”
Jaeyoung did not deny it and imdiately shrugged his shoulders.
‘It sounded like it was a place I knew very well.’
“Actually, it’s not my house, but my original ho is this way.”
“Where does Joo Jae-young live?”
“Let’s just say it’s a 20-minute walk from my ho.”
Seunghyun turned his gaze away from Jaeyoung and looked at the tablet screen again. I was worried because it was located in the suburbs rather than the city center, but I thought it would be okay if I knew soone nearby.
‘The al problem will be solved if I replace the lady with soone who often goes to work, and I don’t plan on being ho often anyway… . If you have a pretty garden, you might feel different while staying at ho.’
Seunghyun thought for a mont and nodded.
“Then I guess I’ll have to go from here tomorrow.”
“I also have to stop by my family’s ho for the first ti in a while.”
In fact, it hasn’t been that long since he went to his parents’ house, but Jaeyoung added a word with the intention of following Seunghyeon.
Although he had no intention of rejecting the obvious words, Seunghyeon once again felt doubtful in his actions.
Coming to soone’s house to find soone they had lost contact with was definitely sothing even a friend could do. Even though we are friends that we haven’t known for very long.
However, even if Joo Jae-young is an unemployed person compared to the original Han Seung-hyun, it doesn’t an that he really has no agenda. Wouldn’t it be a bit too broad to offer help not only with moving but also with going to see a house?
“Mr. Joo Jae-young. “Don’t you have any friends?”
“yes?”
“Do you have anyone to play with?”
Jaeyoung made a dumbfounded face and pointed at himself. Does she have no friends? Although she doesn’t have anyone she could call a close friend, she still doesn’t lack people by her side.
“Is that why you care so much about ?”
“no. Sothing like that… . “There aren’t many people who co out when called.”
“Then do you always pay this much attention to the people who co when you call them?”
Seunghyun asked in a fairly serious tone. A little while ago, I passed over it without thinking much, but not this ti.
“that… .”
Jaeyoung looked a little confused. It was definitely too much nonsense. She started out out of curiosity, but for that reason she didn’t necessarily want to let Seunghyeon into her life.
There was a clear difference between being worried about not being able to contact soone and wanting to keep them by your side. Jaeyoung, who had judged his feelings once again, was lost in thought for a mont.
“Compared to other people, I’m more concerned about Han Seung-hyun.”
“why?”
“I’m curious because the person is so different from what I thought. also… .”
I thought there was a reason, but when I tried to explain it, the reason was very weak. Why do I pay more attention to Seunghyun?
Jaeyoung was unable to organize his words easily and stuttered. Seunghyeon, who was watching that scene, unconsciously asked.
“Do you even like it?”
It was a light-hearted remark. It was sothing I said without much thought, as a joke. He was curious as to why Jaeyoung cared about him, but whatever the reason, it was none of his business.
But the mont Seunghyeon saw Jaeyoung’s face turn into embarrassnt at those words, he felt sothing was wrong.
“… … .”
I expected the answer to be, of course no, or what you ant, but Jaeyoung didn’t reply at all.
But sotis things other than words provide the answer. Such as the slight redness that appeared on a face stained with embarrassnt, or the body that completely froze without being able to respond easily.
“wait for a sec.”
Seunghyun, who saw that, opened his mouth before Jaeyoung could reply. He was the one who asked, but he didn’t ask in the first place hoping for an answer.
“Just don’t answer. Don’t even think about it. “Just forget it.”
Seunghyun waved one hand. I thought it might not be possible, but if it were true, it would be a big problem.
“why? “Didn’t Executive Director Han say that it doesn’t matter if people think of us as lovers?”
“It doesn’t matter what the relationship looks like externally, isn’t this a different problem?”
The fact that there was no imdiate negative answer was a risk factor, and that attitude was even more dangerous. Seunghyun quickly added another word before Jaeyoung could reply.
“Don’t like . “If you ever feel like you’re going to feel that way, stop it as quickly as possible.”
“… … .”
“What I need is a friend, not a lover. I don’t want soone in that kind of relationship. “It is that way now, and it will always be that way.”
Seunghyun spoke too clearly. He said that if he left, that would be enough, but the people who would be left behind had a future. The ti that may or may not last a year was too short a ti for those who would be left behind.
“… That’s unusual. “I don’t need a lover, but was it okay to sleep?”
“It depends on the person, but… I am. “Isn’t it different from a relationship where you can enjoy the day and be a lover?”
Seunghyeon pretended not to make a noise that might have upset Jaeyoung. He didn’t know if Jaeyoung really had feelings for him or not, but even if he did, it wouldn’t be a big deal just yet.
‘I don’t mind if it’s a little over the top. Any buds that could cause trouble must be cut off in advance.’
“Sleeping has no aning to . But if you have a lover, you have to give aning to even the trivial things. “I don’t like that.”
It was okay even if he looked a little unlucky and gave so affection. It was right to cut off unwanted feelings from the beginning.
“So if you’re going to expect sothing like that, don’t be friends and go to people who say they’ll show up when you call them.”
Seunghyun said with a serious face. He wasn’t a bad person, so I thought he understood well.
However, Seunghyeon, who only made a long excuse without realizing that he couldn’t even think of the easiest way to refuse, t Jaeyoung’s gaze as if telling him to answer quickly.
