Ji Seo Joon seemed somewhat wronged. I was about to argue when did you try to tell me, but then I remembered I had interrupted Ji Seo Joon’s words and only said what I wanted to say.
I should have listened to the end…
But no matter if she was married, it didn’t erase the fact that Olive Yu was Ji Seo Joon’s first love, his first girlfriend. I shook my head slightly.
“Do you know Olive Yu’s husband?”
“Yeah. He’s my senior from school.”
“Oh my God. Really.”
Hearing Ji Seo Joon’s words, I doubted my own ears for a moment.
“So he must know that you and Olive Yu dated.”
“Yeah, he knows that too.”
“Do I feel like I’m watching a drama right now?”
Ji Seo Joon, who had been quietly looking at his coffee, responded to my words.
“As you saw earlier, when I actually meet her, I don’t have any thoughts or feelings. Olivia is just Olivia. But because you don’t like it, I tried not to meet her.”
Then he glanced at me and continued speaking.
“I didn’t expect her to come without calling like today. Actually, it’s a miracle that the directionallychallenged one found this place.”
“You, you really don’t have any feelings?”
Actually, I could tell just by looking at Ji Seo Joon’s expression. He never showed Olive Yu the affectionate look he shows me whenever we’re together.
“Yeah. I was a little surprised when I first met her in the neighborhood… but it’s nothing more, nothing less.”
“When did you find out she was married?”
“When I was in the U.S. I was too busy to go, so I had a meal with her separately later on. You should have seen how excited he was to bring up the love story.”
Ji Seo Joon, who had chuckled, took a sip of his coffee.
“I think that ring might be her second one. I heard she lost it and had to get a new one.”
Oh my goodness. I lifted my right hand and lightly tapped my forehead.
“You don’t think clumsy and disorganized women are my type, do you? The women I happened to like were just like that, it’s not my preference.”
The word ‘they’… was I included in that too?
“You don’t think I’m referring to you, do you?”
“……I’m not that disorganized.”
Despite my timid assertion, he ignored my words and picked up his cell phone.
“Seems like you fortunately met with my brother.”
“Did you get a call from Olive Yu?”
“No, my brother.”
“That’s a relief.”
Nodding at my words, Ji Seo Joon started to send a text message. As I watched Ji Seo Joon, feelings of guilt and thoughts rationalizing my own actions collided.
What would I have done if I had known earlier that Olive Yu was a married woman?
On the day we came out from eating sushi, I was disappointed in Ji Seo Joon when Olive Yu called. Of course, I immediately forgot when I saw Ji Seo Joon catching the bus.
As usual, Olive Yu had gotten lost that day, and she had explained that her husband was on an overseas trip and could not help her.
While diligently picking the meat from the bones, Olive Yu explained what had happened that day.
Olive Yu, who sent out an SOS after getting lost, pouted as she said that she had been scolded a lot by her husband.
She was told to only commute between her workshop and home if she couldn’t find her way, and she shivered as she talked about getting a stern reprimand. Then, Olive Yu dropped a potato and added a few more soup spots to her white dress.
“Does your brother act normally around you?”
“Yeah. We were close even before the two of us were dating.”
“I see.”
“In fact, before we started dating, my brother came to see me. He must have found it quite hard to give his heart to his close friend’s exgirlfriend. By then, I didn’t have any romantic feelings for Olivia……”
It was a relationship I couldn’t understand. But it wasn’t a relationship that deserved criticism just because I couldn’t understand it.
“Olivia knows.”
“What?”
“That I like you.”
“What? Did you tell her?”
“No, that day, when I was with you and happened to see Olivia. She said she knew that day. She said she could tell just by looking.”
I had no idea because she hadn’t shown any signs. Olive Yu knew? She must have been quite perceptive.
“So, what did she say?”
“She said she figured it would happen.”
“What does that mean…”
“When she was dating Olivia, she suspected that one day I would come to you.”
Outside the cafe, drops of rain began to fall. The humid wind must have brought the rain clouds after all.
The droplets gradually increased, and the rain began to pour heavily. People started scurrying to avoid the sudden rain.
“It’s raining.”
“It seems so.”
We both paused our conversation and watched the downpour. The rain that started with a drop or two, had soaked everything in no time.
As I looked at the scenery that had darkened from the rain, I realized something.
The excitement that was a drop or two in my heart had soaked my heart in an instant. Being a coward, I hid under a tree and avoided my feelings towards Ji Seo Joon, which were like a downpour that obscured my vision.
Without realizing that there was no place in my heart where Ji Seo Joon hadn’t touched.
Despite feeling full of excitement and jealousy when looking at Olive Yu, I pretended not to know.
If we dated and broke up… It’s different from going to study in the United States. We wouldn’t be people who could meet whenever we wanted, but it would be awkward even if we met.
Knowing that Olive Yu was a married woman, I felt empty and void. What on earth had I been doing all this time?
Looking back, I was really foolish. If I didn’t have feelings for Ji Seo Joon, whether he met Olive Yu, or how many exgirlfriends he had, wouldn’t have mattered to me.
Olive Yu brutally shattered my thin last line of defense.
Now, I can’t pretend not to know. I, Moon Da Yul, who was hiding under the tree, was completely soaked in no time.
By Ji Seo Joon.
“Hey. Ji Seo Joon.”
“Hmm?”
“Let’s date.”
If I realized it, I had to go straight.
My past that I had hidden and avoided is now goodbye.

2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
