Yumi continued to glare at the back of Lee Soo’s head as she entered the bathroom, and then, thud, thud, she stomped her feet, heading towards the bathroom door.
“Really? Don’t you dare to change your story later! You definitely said there was nothing between you!”
Yumi, who shouted at the closed door, finally emerged from Lee Soo’s room.
Even after entering her own room, her mind couldn’t settle down as she aimlessly paced around the room.
The scene she had just witnessed kept replaying in her mind.
Ji Ho dropping Lee Soo off from his car, and Ji Ho watching until Lee Soo disappeared.
“No! That can’t be!”
Yumi wildly shook her head, clutching her hair with both hands.
Even though she had seen it with her own eyes, it was a scene she didn’t want to believe.
The first time Yumi met Ji Ho was through her mother when they were young.
She first met Ji Ho’s mother, who came to learn cooking, when Choi Soo Min worked as a cooking instructor before remarrying Jung Won Jin.
The two of them were of the same age and both had children, so they hit it off from the start.
Choi Soo Min, with her considerate and agreeable personality, quickly became friendly with Kim Yeon Soo, and through their mothers’ friendship, Yumi and Ji Ho naturally grew close.
Since then, Ji Ho had always been Yumi’s ideal type.
Perhaps because she had met such a perfect man from the beginning, she couldn’t even imagine any other man.
No one could replace Ji Ho, and it would always be the same in the future.
The reason she worked so hard to go to Korea University was all because of Ji Ho.
Just the thought of becoming a campus couple with Ji Ho was enough to make her happy.
A week after her admission.
“Now it’s right in front of my eyes.”
Yumi bit her lip, taking deep, agitated breaths, her heart pounding.
“There’s nothing between us.”
Lee Soo’s voice, which spoke with an indifferent and dry expression, kept ringing in her ears like tinnitus.
Despite glaring as if to pierce through her, Yumi didn’t feel any lies in Lee Soo’s eyes.
It seemed sincere.
Then why.
Ji Ho wouldn’t drive just anyone home.
The Ji Ho that Yumi knew was not a kind and affectionate person to everyone.
She didn’t want to admit it, but it was almost certain that at least Lee Soo was not ‘just anyone’ to Ji Ho.
There were many times when Ji Ho was indifferent enough to hurt Yumi, who had known him for a long time.
Knowing well that Ji Ho was a person who wouldn’t extend unnecessary kindness and favor, Yumi was more anxious.
She had met Ji Ho once with Yeon Soo, who came from London last summer.
Despite being busy preparing for entrance exams, Yumi had put everything aside to meet him.
They had dinner together, and when their mothers said they would stay longer, Ji Ho and Yumi left the restaurant first.
She expected Ji Ho, who had come in the same car she saw today, to naturally take her home.
“Yumi, I’ve called a taxi. You can go on that.”
“Geez. I wanted to ride your car. Can’t you take me?”
“Next time. I’m a bit busy.”
As soon as the taxi arrived, Ji Ho just kindly bid her goodbye, opening the backseat door for her.
It was a 10minute distance to her house, but Ji Ho, who didn’t even take her that far, saying he was busy.
He did that to me.
Yet, he took Lee Soo home even when it was raining.
Her heart felt like it was about to burst from the boiling jealousy.
She felt like she had to do something right away to calm down, but there was nothing she could do.
“Whew. Whew.”
Yumi took several deep breaths and opened her phone.
Bro, you didn’t forget you promised to buy me a meal when I got admitted, did you?
Yeah.
When will you do it? Let me know when you’re free, and I’ll adjust.
Okay.
How about this Saturday? I’m fine with Sunday, too.
I’m busy that day.
Okay. Then when are you free?
This was a week’s worth of messages exchanged between Ji Ho and her.
Even though the reply came at least the next day whenever she sent a message, the last message had been left unanswered for two days now.
Today was the Saturday Ji Ho had said he was busy.
“Them meeting up means they were together today……”
With that thought, jealousy flared up again.
“So, he was busy today because he was meeting Lee Soo? How on earth do they know each other?”
They had different majors, and they didn’t have a single overlapping route from elementary to high school.
There was no way the two of them met at a blind date or a group date.
The Ji Ho that Yumi knew would have detested such a thing, and so would have Lee Soo.
“In the morning, pretending to go out reluctantly because relatives are coming over. What the heck, was it just an act because you were going to go out anyway? This is really unbelievable.”
Yumi lay down on her bed and glared at her phone as if she was trying to pierce through it.
‘What could they have done when they met?’
All sorts of imaginations sprung out in her mind, making her feel suffocated.
He would have reached home by now.
Can I call you?
