Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

136 – Acorn Key Measuring

I got caught, I got caught, I got caught. What do I do?

It’s all because the ramen that Subin made was so delicious that I lost my mind for a moment.

This bad girl, why did you spend so much time and effort to steal someone’s soul for just one ramen? Because of that, I was momentarily defenseless. If I had been in my right mind, I would have made an excuse somehow.

“So, Miss Han Yu-na?”

“Yes, four!”

While I was blaming myself and the poor ramen while holding my head in my hands, I heard Soobin’s voice, which was chilling, and I stiffened my back without realizing it. I felt a faint pain, perhaps due to yesterday’s aftereffects, but I tried to endure it.

“I will now begin the press conference. If you give an answer that is contrary to the truth… I believe you understand.”

“That, that’s not a press conference, it’s an interrogation…”

thud!

“Hic!?”

As I tried to find a way to find fault with him, Soobin slammed the table as if she was not going to let me talk anymore. I know it was a joke, but it was scary enough.

“I haven’t given the defendant the floor yet. Just answer the questions.”

“yes….”

Ah, I miss Siyoon.

“Last night, the defendant returned to the pension with Park Si-yoon while drunk. Is that correct?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I don’t know how long this legal role-playing will go on, but since Soobin seems absorbed in it, I nod my head and decide to follow suit.

“The time was around 12:30. You probably wouldn’t have been able to wash up while you were drunk, so you would have fallen asleep right away. Is that right?”

“But, but that is….”

“Oh, just answer whether it’s true or not.”

“…you’re right.”

I did get drunk on purpose to create a defenseless state, but I can’t say it out loud now, so I can only say yes. It’s true that I looked drunk on the outside.

“Then, that would mean that the defendant slept from roughly 1:00 AM until around midnight the next day when the reply came back. It seems like he slept quite a bit.”

“That, that’s because I was drunk….”

I knew it was a lame excuse, but since the truth is more appealing, I answered in a low voice. Then, Soobin’s eyes widened like crescent moons. It was a reaction as if he had caught the ball.

“Oh, I see. So you’re saying that you slept for a total of 11 hours without doing anything?”

“you’re right.”

“So when did you start having back pain?”

“Uh, that’s….”

Wait, what should I say in this situation? Should I say that I fell while sleeping? What if Soobin asks Siyoon about it? That idiot doesn’t know about the conversation we had here, so I’m going to tell him the truth.

“Oh, I overdid it while skiing yesterday… .”

“Considering all that, you were moving around quite well last night when you ate meat?”

“Ugh… .”

That’s right. If you’re going to use skiing as an excuse, you have to at least claim that things have been weird since last night, but you don’t have any evidence to back it up.

In the first place, I was the one who was running around the most enthusiastically and leading the atmosphere at the meat party yesterday. I was so drunk that I even danced on the spot. Why did I do that?

“The defendant, who had been sleeping until midnight, suddenly developed back pain, and the only time Aliabi was absent was when he was alone with Park Si-yoon…”

Knock. Knock.

Subin banged the table with the plastic spoon that was lying next to her and started to come closer to me.

“And according to what the judge saw yesterday, there must have been a box in the defendant’s padded pocket. Is that wrong?”

“Hey, have you seen it!?”

And then he finally cast checkmate by presenting irrefutable evidence. In fact, the condom box in his padded pocket had fallen out during the meat party last night.

Fortunately, everyone was busy drinking and eating meat at the time, so I thought no one would have seen me, but who would have thought that Soobin would have been watching me in the meantime?

“What? The judge just said, ‘what kind of box?’”

“No, don’t tease me! I saw the condom box clearly!”

In this situation, as if trying to tease me even more, he scolded Soobin, who was absorbed in the courtroom role-play. He claimed that he had already seen everything, so what kind of symbol is it that he is now pretending not to know?

As I confronted her with a grin, Soobin took a step back for a moment and looked at me.

The moment my lips were about to draw a curve, thinking that I had won the battle,

“Oh, was that a condom? Sorry, it was dark so I couldn’t see it well.”

“…ah?”

It felt like someone was hitting the back of my head with a hammer.

You didn’t see it, what?

“Why, the box fell under the chair at that time? That’s why I knew you, Yuna, were picking something up, but I didn’t know what it was.”

“Mom, you didn’t know…?”

“If you knew what it was in the first place, wouldn’t you have noticed it even if you hadn’t mentioned the waist?”

“uh…?”

Now that I think about it, that’s true.

Even when I approached Subin, who was alone in the kitchen earlier, there were plenty of opportunities for the two of us to talk.

If it were the Soobin I knew, as soon as she found out that I had my first time with Siyoon, she would have giggled and asked, “How was last night?” But Soobin didn’t do that.

That means,

“Actually, I tried it. But is it correct?”

“… … !”

What the heck, my mouth is the cause of trouble.

Do I really have to keep my mouth shut like Yerin said? She’s like the root of all evil.

***

In the end, after confessing twice unintentionally, Soobin, feeling resigned, drank the cocoa she had personally made and told him the whole story.

Subin, who I thought would be a bluffer, surprisingly listened to my story seriously. Thanks to that, my shyness gradually faded as I started talking.

“That’s bold. So you planned it all from the beginning?”

“Uh, yeah. From the moment I started planning my trip… .”

The people who were worried about my schedule from the beginning were saying that I could go on a day trip, but I was the one who suggested that we stay at least one night. This was also the reason.

“I didn’t know our Yuna was such a bright girl? Planning to attack her boyfriend… Goosebumps.”

“It’s a brightening day… .”

Soobin pretended to brush off goosebumps that hadn’t even appeared and was shaking.

By the way, that’s harsh. I’m just more expressive of affection than other girls. Besides, in this day and age, a woman who just sits there and expects you to feed her is not attractive.

“So how long have you been doing this for your back to hurt?”

“It wasn’t long. It was just that Siyoon was secretly being a bit aggressive… ”

“Oh, really? Siyoon, I haven’t seen you like that, but are you a bit of a night owl?”

Night and day? It sounds right, but I don’t want to admit it. It’s like advertising that I was always dragged around by Siyoon in bed. It’s clear that I was the one leading.

Of course, at the end, my back gave out and I was lying face down with Siyoon behind me… Oh, no. Let’s just imagine up to here. That was just an act of God.

“Anyway, what do you think? I’m curious about how you felt about spending a memorable night with your boyfriend.”

After finishing most of the story, Soobin asked a mischievous question as if it was the last topic. Honestly, I don’t know how to express it.

“Well, what should I say… It was so good that it was hard to express. I’m not just talking about the physical sensation, but I felt like I was really connected to this man…”

“… I see. Well, I guess so.”

While listening to the vague answer, Soobin stared at the distant mountains beyond the window with eyes that seemed to be filled with longing. Looking at that sight, I felt a strange sense of incongruity.

I don’t know what to say, but I felt like there was a sense of leisure. It felt like a senior in life was listening to the advice of a junior and deeply sympathizing with him.

Wait, what if?

“I listened to the story well. I want to hear more, but the boys will be waiting, so let’s get ready and go.”

“… … .”

Soobin, who is about to quietly get up from his seat while placing his empty mug on a tray. There is no awkwardness in his actions. However, there is something that has been catching my eye since a while ago.

It is the polarity that Soobin is wearing.

If I remember correctly, she has never been able to wear things like polar fleeces because of the stuffiness of clothes that go up to her neck. I didn’t even see her wearing them last winter or the year before.

But why are you wearing something like that today? In this pension where it’s so hot because of the heating? Even someone who suffers from the heat just as much as Siyoon does.

“… Wait, stand there.”

Creak.

My voice, trying to stop Soobin from heading to the kitchen, had become as cold as the eternal snow.

At my command, Soobin stood in place like a wooden doll, turned her creaking neck and looked this way. I motioned for her to come over, but she just shook her head.

You’re not coming? Then I’ll go.

“You, Yuna, why are you like this!”

“Just shut up and take it off!”

He pulled the polarity that was covering Kim Soo-bin’s neck while shouting something that a criminal would say. If it had been normal, he would have resisted more violently, but since he was holding a tray in his hand, he could easily see the scene beyond it because he only resisted with words.

On the nape of the neck that was revealed like that,

“Hey, Defendant? Can you explain what this is?”

The kiss marks were still clearly visible. And there were more than one or two of them.

What the heck, Choi Min-seong? Are you some kind of hyena? How many times have you bitten and torn the child?

“Your Honor, there is a good reason for this….”

“Oh, really? I’ll hear more about that later. But… .”

What happened in Room 7 last night is not important now. I have a truth that needs to be revealed.

“…Be honest, when did you first do it?”

“Me, when Minseong called me to an empty house before… .”

Subin, who knew that it was impossible to get away, rolled her eyes but answered sincerely.

But wait, if it were that day… .

“Didn’t you say that day was the day you had your first kiss?”

If I remember correctly, Soobin called Choi Minseong when no one was home, and then she got into the mood and ended up kissing him. If it matches that day…?

“Once we started kissing, I couldn’t stop for some reason… .”

“… … .”

That means it didn’t end with the first kiss.

Who revealed this to whom, you pervert.
