Yes, It’s Me. The Obsessive Side Top

#057

I was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eating rice cakes that Grandmother had gotten from another hospital room. As I was receiving the rice cakes Grandmother was picking up with a fork into my mouth, Sun Woo’s brows furrowed. He’s doing it again. I thought Sun Woo’s snide remarks would come soon, and as expected, Sun Woo grumbled.

“Ha Jin. Did your hands appear and disappear again?”

“Oh. My hands disappeared~”

“Grandmother, I’ll feed him.”

“Oh my, you want to do it, dear? You only think about our dear Jin-i?”

Seeing it as thinking about me, Sun Woo uniquely picks fights only in these aspects. He seems to look at me nicely no matter what I do otherwise. He always frowns and dislikes it when I just rely on other people’s hands. But is it okay when he feeds me? He doesn’t frown and rather likes it.

Look look. Even now, where did his furrowed brows go and he’s smiling, right? While holding out one hand so the bean powder doesn’t fall. I was barely holding back my laughter, but at Sun Woo’s serious face carefully matching the fork to my mouth, I couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing. Because I laughed with my mouth closed, my nose breath came out strongly and the bean powder on the rice cake flew straight towards Sun Woo’s face and scattered.

“Ah, sorry. Sun Woo.”

When I lightly brushed it off with my hand, Sun Woo closed his eyes tightly as if holding back his anger.

“Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.”

While apologizing with my mouth, my eyes were looking at Grandmother and laughing.

“Jin-i, do you like it just by looking at his face?”

At Grandmother’s words, I burst into laughter again.

“Yes. I like it just by looking at his face. Sun Woo is handsome, isn’t he?”

“Right? He’s totally your type, isn’t he Jin-i?”

“Yes. Totally my type.”

The corners of Sun Woo’s mouth slightly went up and then came back down. That sight was so cute that I wanted to kiss him, but I held back because Grandmother was in front. …Huh? Wait a minute.

‘Are you crazy, Ha Jin? You want to kiss him?’

I’ve completely lost it. To even think about wanting to kiss Sun Woo. After roughly brushing off the bean powder on Sun Woo’s face, Sun Woo narrowed his eyes and looked at me.

“Do you like my body?”

‘What are you saying, you crazy bastard!’

While I was looking at Grandmother’s reaction in horror, Sun Woo was relentless.

“Ha Jin. You don’t like my body?”

“Uh, huh?”

“Yes, tell me Jin-i. Grandma is curious.”

Grandmother, why are you asking too? Are these two connected by blood asking shamelessly, talking about a different meaning of body than I’m thinking?

With even Grandmother asking like that, I was flustered and blushed for no reason, not knowing where to look, my gaze going here and there.

‘I like it. Sun Woo’s body. It makes people lose their minds.’

When catching loaches in the countryside, Sun Woo took off his clothes for me, so I got to see it properly. And because he keeps sticking by my side, I’ve already grasped his firm body with my eyes and my own body.

“I guess he’s too embarrassed to answer.”

“Aw. Jin-i is so cute. His cheeks are turning red, so cute. Dear.”

It was embarrassing to sit there because of the two people teasing me.

“I’ll go out for a bit and come back.”

“Where are you going?”

“…”

I don’t know where I’ll go either. First, I need to escape from here.

As I was trying to leave in a hurry, Sun Woo smiled slightly and waved at me. The nerve of him.

Since the hospital room was located on the top floor, I only had to climb the stairs a little to quickly reach the rooftop. I approached the railing that was blocked high with transparent glass and looked down. The people and cars moved busily like small toys.

Because it was a summer day with strong sunlight, no one came up to the rooftop. I went to the pavilion with a roof and sat on the edge with just my bottom.

Among the various thoughts floating in my head, the content related to the webtoon passed by fleetingly. Then, because of the location, the content related to Hope Hospital came to mind.

In the beginning of 3rd year when Ha Jin was tormenting Sun Woo. He visits the hospital to treat the wounds caused by Ha Jin. And at this hospital, he runs into the protagonist Sin Yeo-un. Sin Yeo-un, a student at A University’s pre-med department, already knew Sun Woo by sight. Because after taking the college entrance exam in his 3rd year of high school, he found Sun Woo crying by chance in a rural village he briefly visited while going to a ski resort with his friends, and fell in love at first sight.

During the winter break, Sun Woo was immersed in the sadness of having sent off his grandmother. And in that place where he thought no one would be, he unexpectedly ran into Sin Yeo-un.

‘If crying is this pretty, he must be really pretty when he smiles.’

Those were the words Sin Yeo-un said to the crying Sun Woo. Saying he’ll see all sorts of strange guys, Sun Woo avoided the spot and Sin Yeo-un didn’t particularly try to stop him. If it’s fate, they’ll meet again. Sin Yeo-un, who remained there, stared at the spot where Sun Woo had been crying for a long time, and as if it was really destiny, he reunited with him at Hope Hospital.

“He’s a golden-spoon guy.”

Kind, capable, and even perfectly smart, so when Ha Jin caused trouble with his antics, Sin Yeo-un considered his reputation and set up a trap, waiting for the other person to fall for it. And he solved the problem very refreshingly.

I haven’t tried it, but if Ha Jin and Sin Yeo-un had properly fought, Ha Jin would have been utterly defeated. Sin Yeo-un was the protagonist who couldn’t even be compared to in terms of brains, abilities, or personality.

As I quietly organized the content and looked to see if there was anything that could help Ha Jin, there was really nothing. Ha Jin just persistently caused incidents and accidents. Just that alone made the story rich, so there probably wasn’t a single line of hidden narrative.

I was grumbling that the author’s favoritism was severe when my cell phone rang. When the name [Kim Ok-bun’s real grandson] appeared, I was surprised and answered the phone. Why is he calling at this timing when he doesn’t usually call?

“Sun Woo. Why? Did something happen?”

– Ha Jin, where are you? Are you still outside the hospital room?

“Yeah. I’m outside.”

– Where outside?

At Sun Woo’s words, my heart oddly pounded as if it would burst. If he has something to say, he can just say it, so why is he looking for where I am? Making people nervous for no reason.

“On the hospital rooftop.”

– Then go back to the hospital room right now.

“…What, why are you doing this?”

– Grandmother’s examination results came out. You’ll cry, won’t you?

“Why would I cry?”

– Because you cried every time. Don’t cry outside, go to the hospital room and cry alone. I was going to tell you later when we meet, but I wanted to tell you a little earlier. Ha Jin. Are you going to the hospital room? I can’t talk on the phone for long.

“Tell me. I’m listening.”

– I told you to go to the hospital room… Ha… You really don’t listen. You don’t want to show others that you’re crying.

“What’s there to show or not show. Tell me. I won’t cry.”

There was a very brief silence. That time passed so slowly that even the blinking of my eyes felt sluggish. Soon, Sun Woo let out a faint sigh over the receiver.

– Grandmother. They say she can be treated. Ha Jin.

I stayed still without answering.

– I have to go in now so I need to hang up. Ha Jin. Stay put in the hospital room. I’ll go quickly.

Sun Woo spoke quickly as if in a hurry and hung up the phone. I guess the results came out well as the hospital director said.

When I looked up at the sky, the sunlight was unusually painfully intense. The sunlight shining on the rooftop was only not reaching the spot where I was sitting. It was because of the shade created by the pavilion installed on the rooftop. Looking at the roof of the pavilion creating a cool shade, I slowly blinked my eyes. Will I also get shade like this?

The webtoon’s content has changed.

“Crazy…”

I covered my face with both hands.

How is this possible? Grandmother… will remain by my side? Did they leave Grandmother by my side so that Ha Jin can navigate well through the thorny path that fills his surroundings? Then I could willingly walk the thorny path even barefoot.

When I removed my palms, tears immediately fell to the floor with a thud. The tears falling on the floor painted with green waterproof paint turned into a dense green color in a circle.

Damn it. I’m really crying. It’s good news. I thought I had already shed tears once and had no more tears to shed, but I’m crying again.

Why do I have so many tears? When I had no tears at all.

“…”

As I was crying while suppressing the sound, someone’s shoes appeared in front of the spot where my tears fell. Clean white sneakers. It wasn’t Sun Woo.

Whether the shoes were in front of me or not, I was staying still without paying attention when a handkerchief was silently held out to me without a word. When I didn’t accept it, there was a sound of clothes rubbing and the person sat down in front of me with their legs bent. I couldn’t see his face because I was looking down, but the clothes he was wearing were a neat school uniform. He was still holding out the handkerchief to me.

The fingers holding the handkerchief were long and thick. Just by looking at his hands, I could predict that he would be quite tall.

The flowing tears didn’t stop even though there was a person in front of me. I should have gone back to the hospital room as Sun Woo said. I just stayed because no one had come up to the rooftop until now, but I ended up showing this sight to someone else.

‘Sun Woo told me not to cry in front of others…’

Surprised by the sudden thought of Sun Woo, I raised my head.

‘Fuck… This is definitely Sun Woo’s brainwashing.’

When I raised my head in surprise, the person in front of me looked blurry due to the tears. When I blinked once, the tears that had welled up flowed down and my vision became clear.

“!”

My eyes met the eyes of the person who was intently looking at me with one hand propping up his chin. The guy with deep and dark eyes smiled brightly at me. His distinct features, refreshingly deep eyes, and dark hair calmly covering his forehead were impressive. After seeing his handsome face smiling brightly at me, I was so surprised that my tears disappeared.

Although he still had a young face, he had an aura that made it difficult to see him as younger than me. His wide shoulders and long legs were noticeable even though he was bending.

There was only one man with this atmosphere and appearance. I had even met his father not long ago.

He was a boy who went well with the blue summer day. A man who was refreshing, bright, and made you feel good just by looking at him.

He was Sin Yeo-un, the protagonist of this webtoon.

Perhaps because Ha Jin would be too miserable if a confrontational structure unfolded between Sin Yeo-un and Ha Jin, the author never put the two in the same scene. But why is he in front of me now? Moreover, he was smiling at me with a harmless face.

When the handkerchief he held out wasn’t taken back, Sin Yeo-un put it back into his own pocket. Then he immediately reached out his arm to me. Sin Yeo-un gently wiped the moisture from the corner of my eye, smiled brightly, and opened his mouth.

“I thought your smile was pretty, but your crying is pretty too.”

‘If crying is this pretty, he must be really pretty when he smiles.’

This line. The content is slightly different, but it’s definitely what Sin Yeo-un said to Sun Woo at their first meeting.
