Chapter 49 – Static
“I beg your pardon?”
Gaslighting?
Suddenly it… Why?
“It’s literally.”
Han Seok-ho puts on a tired expression.
“The reason I avoid my girlfriend. The reason I want to stay away from her. All of that-“
Han Seok-ho takes a deep breath. Eyes meet each other.
“-It’s because I was fucking ‘gaslighted’.”
My face is stained with bewilderment. Wait a minute, what?
I look at Han Seok-ho’s expression. Now Han Seok-ho is ‘sincere’. His head can’t keep up with the situation.
For a completely unexpected reason.
Then a question popped into my mind.
“But… Before you came to the academy, weren’t you very close?”
I have heard the news too.
In the old days, beggars would stick around all day, and when they were seriously injured before work, they said that they would take care of them all day long… I don’t understand. In fact, wasn’t it the level where you couldn’t live without the two of you?
Knowing that they were in love like a parakeet couple, they just didn’t pay much attention to the awkward relationship they had with each other at the academy.
If so, we’ll soon reconcile and go back to normal.
But… So far it looks like this. Nothing worked out
“No way… Has he been gaslighted since he came to the academy?”
Han Seok-ho shakes his head.
“No.”
Eyes meet each other.
“It’s been over four years.”
“…Yes?”
4 years?
“I’ll be honest.”
Eyes meet.
“I don’t love her.”
Cold sunken eyes. It’s a little bit, but there’s anger in it.
“It’s fortunate. It’s because I believe in you.”
Han Seok-ho let out a short sigh and lowered his head.
“I’ve said the same thing to many people- I’ve repeated it dozens of times. This is the first time anyone really listens to me.”
Han Seok-ho laughs. Laughter oozing out of embarrassment. Han Seok-ho lifts his head and meets his gaze.
“Why gaslighting…”
“It’s nothing.”
Han Seok-ho lowered his head.
“It’s just… A matter of taste.”
“Yes?”
“It’s literally. My girlfriend likes ‘weak men’.”
Han Seok-ho looks at me.
“At first, I tried to be strong too. At that time, I really loved my girlfriend.”
“Become stronger and protect my woman. Let’s become a reliable man you can lean on – I exercised, studied, and did everything else while thinking about things like that.”
“But.”
“It was all pointless.”
“My girlfriend didn’t want me to be strong—she didn’t want one bit.”
“She just wanted her to lean by her side, like she was an asshole. She couldn’t accept any more.”
Eyes meet. Han Seok-ho slowly lowers his head and scans my body.
“But come now.”
“I like strong men… Seeing how they stick together.”
Han Seok-ho raised his head and met their gaze. Completely sunken eyes.
“It’s a little ridiculous.”
“…”
“Whoa… That’s okay. Don’t make that face too much.”
A series of endless bewilderments. My pupils tremble slightly. A series of incomprehensible, incomprehensible.
“I’ve already made up my mind. I don’t care if you take my girlfriend or go out with each other, so don’t worry.”
Han Seok-ho smiles broadly.
“But… Isn’t it okay? My girlfriend. She has a bit of a personality, but once you love her, there’s really no end to it.”
That, um… That’s…
“It’s a problem to be obsessed with because the love is too strong. Wouldn’t it be nice if I left that out? I can do most of the basic things alone…”
“I-over there…”
“Yes?”
Take a deep breath.
“I…
…I have a girlfriend.”
Silence.
“Uh, hmm, uhm…”
“Yes?”

The air settles.
Silence.
Endless silence.
The first time on Han Seok-ho’s face.
There is bewilderment.
“Ugh, what…?”
Han Seok-ho’s pupils move around.
My body trembles in bewilderment. Even when I ran my hand through his head, suddenly cross-legged, and looked out of his window, moving around anyway. He can’t hide his embarrassment.
“Haha, uh… Lies, right?”
Han Seok-ho asks earnestly. Um, that’s…
“I… It’s true.”
“Huh… Uh… Ha…”
Han Seok-ho suddenly grabs his hair and rips it off. In bewilderment, he shakes his feet.
“This isn’t it…!”
Han Seok-ho muttered.
He rips his hair with his hand. Stuffed strands of hair fall to the floor.
“No, then the reason you came to me until now…”
Eyes meet.
“I have a girlfriend-“
“Aww!”
Han Seok-ho screams.
“You can’t go out with my girlfriend if you do this!!”
“I, calm down-“
“No, calm down now- Ha, crazy… I guess…!”
Han Seok-ho scratched his head. Stop. After looking up at him for a moment, he lowers his head and sighs deeply.
“It’s just that the legs…”
Han Seok-ho looks at me. A very small hope points towards me.
“It’s not possible.”
Can not be done.
“My girlfriend is very pretty… Maybe her taste…”
“It’s not possible.”
My girlfriend is much prettier
“Do, you have a lot of money?! Maybe…”
“It’s not possible.”
Does not matter.
“Huh… Ha…”
Han Seok-ho lowered his head again.
Han Seok-ho is desperate now. You can feel it on his skin. No, no matter how badly…
“All right. Ha…”
Han Seok-ho shakes his hand.
“I’m sorry.
Han Seok-ho raises his head.
“Now… What should I do…”
Han Seok-ho stares at the window sadly. In the dark orange sky, the sun is slowly sinking westward.
Han Seok-ho’s hope. Falling down the horizon. He sees it, but it’s a little bit… Sympathetic.
What? Was he gaslighted?
I’m forced to have sex…
“Are you okay?”
He slowly approaches Han Seok-ho.
“Yeah… It’s okay- no, it’s actually not okay… More than that.”
Eyes meet each other.
“Are you all right?”
“Fine-“
The words are cut off. Should I… Say it’s okay? Now I… Are you okay?
“No. Actually not at all… Not okay.”
I’m not okay at all
I miss my girlfriend.
“Ha…”
“Whoa…”
In an empty classroom.
Sighs overlap
Silence.
“Excuse me…”
“Ummm, over there…”
Words overlap.
Silence.
The air is light, but it becomes awkward.
“…Sorry.”
Han Seok-ho lowered his head. I don’t know what it looks like.
“Yes? No no, I’m more sorry.”
Say sorry.
It’s a bit disrespectful to say cross-legged, but… I’ve been gaslighted for four years. I would have done it out of embarrassment.
Eyes meet each other.
“…”
“…”
Silence.
“Have you had a hard time…?”
Open your mouth first It is awkward. It needs to be ventilated a little.
Han Seok-ho awkwardly avoids his gaze.
“If…”
Eyes meet again.
“Are you curious?”
Han Seok-ho.
Get lucky

Stars fall in the sky.
The rising moon illuminates the two figures on the bench.
“Haa… That’s it.”
“…”
Hey
Fuck.
It is beyond imagination.
Confused, he raises his hand over his forehead. Irene is…
It’s a crazy year
That’s also significant.
Scratching his forehead
Han Ye-rin is also a crazy bitch, but Lee A-rin is also not easy. She is comparable enough. Complicated After hearing all of them, I can understand why Han Seok-ho was so desperate.
Before ‘love’, the suffocating ‘obsession’ ruined Han Seok-ho.
Fuck…
“Is my girlfriend… Clingy?”
Seok-ho looks at me worriedly. He slightly nods his head.
“I’d like to take it off, but ha…”
Seok-ho lowers his head. Suddenly, my heart becomes depressed. Know. That it is virtually impossible to remove.
My eyes go dark. The attachment is so strong, but I don’t have the strength or anything to break it off.
“Are you really going to break up later?”
Overlooking the lagoon Seok-ho’s eyes become determined.
“In the end, no matter what. It will be far away…”
Seokho lets out a sigh.
“Because I’ve already made up my mind. It should be considered confirmed.”
Slowly, Seok-ho nodded.
“It’s only a matter of time now.”
Lagoon rises from the bench. And he bows his head towards me.
“I’m sorry. Thanks for listening to my messy talk.”
Lagoon slowly moves away from the bench. In the middle, Seok-ho turns his head and looks at me.
“And…If you think my girlfriend is crossing the line too much, tell me.”
At least before we part, I’ll help as far as I can.
The lagoon slowly recedes. Eventually, it completely disappears from sight.
“Ha…”
Silence.
Only silence remains.
It complicates my mind.
Arin Lee.
Ha.
Fuck.

Next day. Friday. Lunch hour.
“Stay closer, puppy.”
What the fuck… What’s the matter?
“I’m doing this because I keep getting attached to other people. Do you have any complaints? I don’t even have sex today… Or…”
You don’t like my packed lunch?
A sigh comes out of nowhere.
“Haa… Yup.”
Han Ye-rin shoves meat into her mouth.
“How is it? Is it delicious?”
Han Ye-rin laughs miserably. Am embarrassed. No, she seems to be frustrated and mad before that.
“…It tastes awful?”
“…!”
I shake my head desperately.
Not so damn tasty Still, they say it’s delicious. The sense of taste seems to have disappeared. No fuck why are you doing this to me The cold sweat doesn’t stop. I feel it instinctively.
It has to be absolutely delicious. If you say the opposite, it won’t end with a smile.
“Isn’t it? It’s delicious? Whoa… I’m glad.”
I made it.
I am short of breath.
Fuck… What?
“I’ve fed the chef at my house too? Well, they say it’s one of a kind. They say it’s so delicious. Hehe. I’m glad it melted in my mouth.”
Forced to smile
I desperately move my wriggling facial muscles. Crossroads of life. The chef survived. Fuck… Tongue, it hurts.
“Isn’t it delicious? Oh, I’ll make it in the future, so you know that.”
Han Ye-rin’s face turns red. Her fingers are slightly, but she wiggles.
…What?
“…I beg your pardon?”
Han Ye-rin smiles and looks at me.
“Ah, I’ll make it in the future.”
My eyes are stained with shock.
Should I continue to eat this food waste?
“Hehe. Yep, do you think I have some talent for cooking? It’s my first time making this, right?”
With her cheeks dyed bright red. Han Ye-rin smiles.
“Woah, I was originally going to give it to my boyfriend, but… I’m done now. From now on, I’ll just give it to my dog.”
“Seed…”
Seok Hyun!
This fuck is a baby!
“Okay, now eat the rest-“
Moment.
Bang next to me.
A pure white light bursts out.
“I found it… Huh?”
Turning her head to the side, there was.
“…Han Ye-ri?”
There was Seola.
“Yes, yes?”
Turn her head Han Ye-rin is embarrassed as her mouth makes strange noises.
“Why… Are you here…?”
Seol-ah quietly looks at Han Ye-rin. Han Ye-rin can’t hide her embarrassment, and she runs away in a hurry.
“What is this…?”
Seol-ah looks at her bench.
The leftover lunch box caught my eye.
“This… Can’t be…”
Han Ye-rin made it…?
Our eyes meet with Seol-ah.
She silently nods her head.
“…”
“…”
Silence.
“Um, um… That’s strange…”
Seol-ah tilts her head.
“Han Ye-rin… Didn’t I hate you…?”
Nod.
Silence.
“Ummm…”
“Hmm…”
I do not know.
No fuck
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
*
*
*
Same time.
Yerin Han.
“Huh… Ugh…!”
I’m going to go crazy!
I know.
No, I don’t know. Why am I doing this At first, I was just anxious. Instead of ‘whip’, ‘carrot’… I started to get close to the dog.
So I was thinking about what to do… I remembered the video I saw the other day.
A video of the owner carefully making dog food for his dog. After putting in all the ingredients that are really good for the body- I saw how they made rice that I didn’t know whether it was dog food or nutritious food.
Hit the forehead
Ah! I’d love it if you made me some rice!
“Chi… Heh…”
Cross the bench and run through the flower beds.
Recently, the puppy has been playing nice and doing a lot of good things. In my mind, the evaluation of the puppy… Has risen slightly.
Whether it was the ‘Master’ play or the ‘Coach’ play… Everything was good.
I did quite a few attempts.
All healthy food was beaten. Banana, celery, asparagus, cabbage, oyster, walnut, eel, ginkgo biloba, raspberry, ginger…
I had my own.
When I fed it to the chef, I fell asleep. It’s so delicious. I want to continue eating. So anyway, that’s what he said. But… I actually fed the dog…
Didn’t like it very much.
He nods his head, but his face hardens. Even an idiot can see this. My food is tasteless.
Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. My fingers are just wiggling. Fucking chef. See you later. The face is bright red.
“Whoop… Whoop…”
I put my hand on the wall of the flower bed and exhaled heavily. My heart is beating.
Like an idiot trying to hide his embarrassment. He said he would make it later.
Really stupid Why am I like that? Hit the head with a fist
“Fool… Stupid, Shii, Fool!”
When Seolah Han appeared in the middle. I saw your expression. As if looking at a pathetic person… A nonchalant expression.
My heart is beating. I ran away Now, Seol-ah Han is next to the puppy. Going crazy. If you go on like this…
A witch steals a dog.
“No…”
Can not be done.
You can’t lose your puppy. Fighting with Han Seol-ah? Absolutely not. If Hanseol Ah decides to keep her puppy, there is no answer. Physical improvement is needed.
If so far it’s been a little ‘carrot’ to a lot of ‘whip’. Now…
It’s time to increase the proportion of ‘carrot’.
Physically, we are already close.
Now we have to get closer mentally.
Take heart

Same time.
Arin Lee.
Today, I brought an artifact for wiretapping after a long time.
I haven’t heard of it for a while, so I was just curious about what Kim Tae-ho does… So I tried it.
‘Do you have any complaints? I’m not even having sex today…’
I heard good news.
Hehe.”
Today… You’re not having sex with Han Ye-rin?
Then… I’ll have to try ‘that’.
A smile forms on your lips.
Today after school…
We should have sex in the ‘classroom’!
