Chapter 161 – That’s Right, Plankton!
“Very, very, very, very good, really…”
Cheonbom was sad.
She saved herself from Kang-yoon, but as soon as it was over, she cut herself dry like this.
“That level of misunderstanding, that, sigh, that much, sigh, dislike?”
She was honestly grateful for saving her.
I was scared when Kangyoon grabbed my wrist, but didn’t he appear at the right time and save me?
Besides, since he matched her own coercion well, her gratitude wasn’t the only one.
But, no matter how, as soon as she fell out with Kang-yoon, she cut herself right away.
Have I become some kind of filthy animal?
Can you hang out a little bit more?
“Go, why are you crying all of a sudden…”
“Why are you crying!”
When Cheonbom burst into anger, Sejin Lee shrank.
“Really, I, I mean…! Do you know where you go and get treated like this!? My, I crossed my arms a little, as if I was hugging some kind of filthy animal, huh, take it off!”
“It’s not like that. I just wanted to get away from that kid enough…”
“When I go outside, wherever I go, there are people who like me, you! Every day, there are a lot of people who do strange things…! Wherever I go, I never get treated like this! I-I crossed my arms and said I was just a boyfriend, huh? Well, if you say that, it’s an honor, and there are plenty of men who will come along because they like it!”
“Why are you talking about that right now…”
“But huh? Whip, da, what are you… Always treating me coldly…!”
“Didn’t I tell you why yesterday? I am…”
“What does that matter! What am I lacking more than them! Besides, this far, far away, I lowered my head! Every day! It’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
Cheonbom’s complaint was irrational.
She herself, who was speaking, knew that the back of her head was talking in her mess.
However, the dam of her bursting emotions was not easily closed.
The shame of being dumped several times, the sadness of not being accepted even when approaching with a low profile, and the anticipation that he unknowingly harbored after seeing Lee Se-jin who saved him…
It was all bursting out and mixing up and driving her insane.
“What did I do so wrong?!”
“Uh…”
“That, I just got some interest, huh!? Joe, I’m just saying that I like it… That, that’s it, yes!? Did you… Do something wrong!?”
“No, it’s not that I’m wrong…”
“Then what, what! Joe, can’t you like it!?”
Lee Se-jin was also slowly realizing.
The fact that any answer is useless now.
“Why do you treat me so coldly? Poetry, with one mistake!”
“One time…”
“You hate me! She’s threatening me! The remaining two also open their eyes with ax eyes and are anxious to eat me!”
“Because that’s what happened…”
“Such a thing! Yes ha! That, such a thing! That, what’s so great about that!? With only one thing, yes!?”
“That’s right, it wasn’t a big deal.”
“It’s nothing!? How can you say such a thing!?”
Lee Se-jin’s expression started to change to ‘I’m going to turn, really’.
“This, this is where the precious beginning is blown away! But there’s nothing I can’t say! Treat them like slaves!”
“Slave.”
“Then what!? Even if you lay down on the floor and beg for it, they just ignore you and won’t listen to you. This is slavery! Or is it something else!? Amoeba? Plankton? That’s right, plankton! The junk at the bottom of the food chain!”
Words keep coming out when you do it, and there are times when you keep looking ahead to amplify your emotions.
“Because I’m a scumbag, they only mistreat me and harass me!”
“No, I didn’t mean to.”
“No, it’s not what, whimper! I’m really, uhh… Uhhhhh…”
And the amplified emotions eventually burst into tears.
“Uuuuu…”
Lee Se-jin was taken aback by the situation unfolding before her eyes and wrapped her arms around Cheonbom’s shoulders.
“Chi, Cheon Bom-san, calm down for now…”
“Uuuuu…!”
Lee Se-jin desperately tried to stop Cheonbom, but the tears that had already burst did not stop easily.
***
After that, for about 5 minutes, I desperately had to soothe Cheonbom.
But fortunately, her crying wasn’t loud, and she wondered if she stopped right away.
‘I took 10 years.’
She was very taken aback by the sudden outburst of Cheonbom.
I kind of expected that she would be upset with me.
I fully guessed that her constant approaching and kicking at me had scratched her self-esteem little by little.
But she didn’t expect it to be this much.
She was cool and energetic, so I thought her heart would be proportionally strong.
She said, ‘Shouldn’t she have known when she found out that she was an M pretending to be an S.’
Contrary to what it looks like, this person might be a rather weak person.
“Hey, whimper…”
I handed a tissue to Cheonbom, who was sobbing, but she brushed off my hand.
It is an appeal that he is not usually angry.
But she gave me another tissue to wipe her eyes with her hand, and she accepted it this time.
That was the best I could do now.
Now, even if I say one word, Cheonbom explodes with her words 10 times that amount, so she was afraid to even say a word of comfort.
“Sniff.”
I handed the tissue again to Cheonbom who was sniffing.
This time she accepts my tissue without scrubbing it once.
Has Jo Oh-geum been relieved?
“I, Mr. Cheonbom…”
“What!”
When her name is called, she immediately throws her tantrum.
Still, it was better than the moment before when she burst into tears.
“Have you calmed down?”
“Do I look real now?”
“Well, a little bit.”
“Joy!”
She even snorts as if she wants to deny my words.
“Umm, that… First of all, I’m really sorry.”
“What are you sorry about?”
“That’s it…”
“What are you sorry about? There isn’t even one! It’s all my fault.”
Wow, sarcastic in her temper, this is hard to argue against.
“I always bow my head and ask you out on a date, bend all my pride and cling to you, and always come back to you even if I get angry again and again! I… I’m wrong… Whip.”
“No. I was treated very coldly.”
“Don’t say anything you don’t mean to say!”
She had barely calmed down, but as she spoke, she felt her emotions rise again.
What can I do in this situation?
I waited again for her to calm down.
“Sniff… Ha, whoa…”
Fortunately, this time she calmed down within a minute.
He handed her another tissue to the sniffling woman, who took it and muttered as she blew her nose.
“…Rescue or not, keuuuuu!”
And this time, Cheonbom glared at me.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Why did you intervene?”
Are you talking about Kang Yoon?
“No, how can I leave it alone? It was a difficult situation for anyone to see.”
“If anyone is in trouble, can you help me? What kind of superman are you?”
“No, I don’t mean that…”
“Then what is it!?”
“It wasn’t just ‘who’, so I stepped in and helped!”
Cheonbom was speechless at my words.
She rolled her eyes with him.
He looks like a rabbit with his red eyes widening.
“Anyway, neither you nor me… No, that… Damn it.”
I tried to add an additional explanation that I wasn’t someone special like the kids, but I didn’t want to cry again because I was sad.
“…I know, it doesn’t mean you’re special.”
But this time, Cheonbom added something.
The rabbit-like expression disappeared in an instant.
I quietly looked at her.
How many times have you seen each other like that?
“…If you’re not special…”
“Yes.”
“How much?”
Cheonbom asked me in a calm voice.
“I am just asking. I will not insist.”
“…”
“It’s just, yes… I want to know about my grades.”
“That, oh, damn it. As I said yesterday, it’s not that you’re not good enough or that you don’t like anything. It’s not at all that your grades are lacking.”
“…”
Cheonbom runs out of words.
She hesitated for a while, then looked at me and spit out her words.
“That, then, that, me too… Doesn’t mean I lack qualifications, right?”
“…”
“I think… I’m putting you in trouble, but… But… Then… Once…”
“Chun Bom.”
No, I have kids.
I reflexively wanted to return an answer.
“Wait a minute Sejin.”
The voice I heard at that moment made my body and neck stiffen.
“…Shin So-ye.”
At Cheonbom’s words, I slowly turned her head and saw Soye coming from behind me.
Oh shit, it wouldn’t do me any good to show you this before a stage performance.
“Sorry, I’m leaving. Enough then.”
Cheonbom quickly bowed and tried to turn his back, but Soye stopped it.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Cheonbom.”
“I’m sorry for blaming you, I’m sorry for coming again, and I’m really sorry for coming out for nothing. I’ll just go, so please pretend nothing happened. That man didn’t do anything wrong, so…”
“It’s not like that.”
At Soye’s answer, Cheonbom turned her head again.
“I would like to apologize.”
“…Apologize?”
What kind of apology?
Cheonbom asked with her eyes.
