Daeyoung oppa: [I didn't pick up because I have nothing to say or hear]

Daeyoung oppa: [If you do this again, I have no choice but to block you] 06:36 AM

You crazy bastard... ... ! Do you eat like this?

You... You were that bad?

I called you a piece of trash half-jokingly and half-seriously, but I didn’t know you would do this to a woman who had feelings for me.

If you invited a rumored lover to your house and did that to her, then of course you had to be sincere. That’s how it should be. That’s why Seol-woo told Ha-young-seo that he was sure of it. Of course he knew it would happen and he had to!

This was a fundamental issue of humanity. Disappointment? It wasn’t just disappointment. The person named Won Dae-young seemed like a completely different person. Not even a person. If you only follow your instincts, is that a human? You’re an animal.

“You were a piece of trash, the one I like. Your face value and your dick value were the truth.”

As he hurriedly recovered from his shock and returned to the entrance, Yoon Ji-hwan looked at Seol-woo’s face with concern.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”

“Oh, no. I got a work call from work.”

“Really? A business call on Saturday, you must be blushing. Should I take care of it for you?”

Yoon Ji-hwan naturally glanced at Choi Seol-woo. His eyes naturally went to the white T-shirt he was wearing under his light denim shirt.

His body line, which was not thin, aroused curiosity. What color and shape would his areolas and genitals be? The nape of his neck, which looked longer because his hair was cut short, the heel bone that would be hidden by his oversized pants, his wrists with almost no body hair. It was natural for his eyes to go to every part of his body, not because he was a person who was particularly sexually savvy, but because he was a passionate homosexual who liked slenderness.

“No, I can’t. I have to bow down until I become a regular employee, so what if I take care of it?”

“Haha.”

The gazes of the young female students glancing at Choi Seol-woo were more satisfying than annoying. It seemed like he knew why Won Dae-young had kept Choi Seol-woo in his group since their school days. Choi Seol-woo had something that caught his attention, and that must have been a very valuable resource for maintaining the hierarchy.

Won Dae-young was not a simple, honest, and athletic person who had only worked out his whole life and was ignorant of the ways of the world. It was the opposite. As I had felt before, he was a reckless, inconsiderate, and very strategic person.

Won Dae-young had a clear understanding of the fact that Choi Seol-woo’s love life was somewhat unnatural. He was surprised that he had pointed out the exact date and reason, not just a vague intuition. Even so, Yoon Ji-hwan had no obligation to provide proof that he had not threatened Choi Seol-woo, but he had no choice but to cooperate when he heard rumors circulating within the track and field world.

— There are already slanderous rumors about Choi Seol-woo. I came here to tell you to be careful. That’s why we film X-Tube. If you tell me that you can’t reveal the contact information or call history, I will become even more aggressive.

Yoon Ji-hwan knew how much the federation had budgeted for content production. When asked if he was spending his own money, Won Dae-young answered without hesitation.

— Of course. Because I have my own responsibility.

He didn’t necessarily tell Choi Seol-woo the details of the conversation. It was something that would benefit him or be a loss to Choi Seol-woo. If he told her that he was being talked about by those who were jealous of Won Dae-young, it would only cause her to become a target of gossip.

— I’ll tell you in advance. If you were thinking of luring her into bed and tasting her with a momentary emotion,

Won Dae-young read the entire Messenger [N O V E L I G H T] chat and boldly threatened her.

— I’ll change my personal official sponsor. He’s citing the company executive’s private life as a reason and moral hazard.

— If you make Seol-woo cry, you’re saying that you’ll slander me and even break the sponsorship contract. Isn’t that bullying? I hope the sponsor company that has supported me for several years will keep the basic ethical principles.

— If you are going to talk about ethics, the CEO must have analyzed my game results, advertising impact, and sales, and decided on the contract based on market logic. It seems like both sides should have gotten what they wanted. And bullying? Who would want to sponsor a company where an executive who did something immoral to his friend works? Anyone would break the contract. There are companies that offer more incentives for winning.

— ... You definitely need to win an Olympic medal. If you want to harass the executive of the sponsor company.

— Don’t make me worry about my medal.

I was wondering what kind of relationship the two had that made Won Dae-young have such an unusual, or to put it bluntly, abnormal desire for control.

Yoon Ji-hwan took the opportunity to ask about their past.

“I went to the same school as Won, but we are three years apart in age. It’s because of your long-term absences?”

“Yes, he was in his second year of middle school when he was a year younger. That’s when we first met.”

“We reviewed this when we signed the sponsorship contract, but the time he got involved in school violence was when we were both in high school, right? Did you bring Choi Seol-woo with you back then, saying it was routine?”

“...I don’t want to talk about Won Dae-young.”

Choi Seol-woo looked at Yoon Ji-hwan with a blank expression. Judging from the way he instinctively raised his eyebrows at the past story, it seemed like he still had a long way to go before he could open up.

“Okay. Let’s talk. I know the CPA (Certified Public Accountant Examination) is a very difficult exam, but how did you pass while you were still in school? Did you do well in the first place?”

“I had to pass as quickly as possible. I didn’t want to drag myself out as a test taker for too long.”

“How many people passed before graduation?”

“Among our graduates, there are only two, including me...”

However, Yoon Ji-hwan was quite satisfied with the present. The man named Choi Seol-woo was already feeling enough pleasure from the fact that he was the only one who allowed himself to be in the place where Won Dae-young had been pushed away. He didn’t know how long the ‘no sex’ period he had mentioned would be, but he could wait for a few months.

To be honest, he wanted to have sex right away, but he thought he could get better scores if he hid that he didn’t have time. He decided to wait leisurely for a long time.

Since it was clear that Won Dae-young didn’t feel like Choi Seol-woo was a sex partner.

—— 010******** left the chatroom. ——

The friendship that had lasted nearly 10 years since high school was torn apart today. It was total chaos.

The four men and women gathered at Ha Young-seo’s house couldn’t get over the shocking news from Won Dae-young for hours.

“You really want to end it like this? Won Dae-young, you punk...! I’ve never seen you like this!”

“Couples who break up and get back together a few times have that habit. Breaking up and getting back together doesn’t seem like a big deal. I knew it would be like that this time, too.”

Their relationship made a big deal out of high school and ended in a public breakup a week later. After that, they changed to a secret relationship, broke up, contacted each other occasionally, and miraculously reunited to start a secret relationship again, broke up, and met and broke up two or three times. If you add up the total period of their relationship, it wouldn’t have been more than a few months, but I thought it was a love story that would rival the movies <Cheommilmil> or <Between Cold and Passion> because the gap in between was so long.

Won Dae-young wasn’t the type to go into detail about his relationships with the opposite sex, and Choi Seol-woo could tell that there wasn’t much difference between the period of their relationship and the period of their breakup.

When asked why they broke up, Won Dae-young answered like this.

— It’s a chronic disease, you know. It’s not being able to date for a long time. After a few dates in the beginning, there’s nothing to talk about or anything you want to talk about. It’s not just Ha Young-seo, but everyone else is like that. They don’t have a common topic.

Ha Young-seo had a great sense as well as her bright appearance. She was good at stage, interview, and variety shows, so she appeared as a panelist here and there. You don’t have anything to talk about with someone like that?

Won Dae-young might be a human being who doesn’t open up to others even more than Choi Seol-woo.

“...Why did you break up before rehab?”

Choi Seol-woo asked while the other friends were drunk. Ha Young-seo answered in a very drunken tone.

“At that time, I was having a really hard time.... I told her to take my time until I transferred to a different agency and my solo album release was confirmed. It was like I was the one who gave up. But... In the meantime, Won Dae-young didn’t meet a girlfriend... I thought he was waiting for me, and honestly, I was relieved. My brother was going through the biggest crisis of his life, but I was relieved that he wasn’t meeting anyone else. It was my fault, I only saw my own pain.”

Seol-woo held back his words as he watched Ha-young-seo continue to ruminate on her regrets about the past.

“I was too careless during rehab, after all... Hey, Seol-woo... There’s a thing called timing in love... I missed the golden time by a long way. It’s already too late. Ah, stop it. Damn, I have a lot of celebrity boyfriends too! I have a lot of guys to date!”

Just when she thought she had finally finished regretting it, Ha-young-seo slammed the table and shouted the same thing again.

“When I was rehabbing, instead of just sending letters, I should have been more proactive and visited their homes and training centers!”

Choi Seol-woo swallowed hard. Whenever she brought up this topic, cold sweats formed on her back.
