Yes, It’s Me. The Obsessive Side Top

#065

Sitting at the desk in the study, I quietly glared at the envelope Secretary Kim had left behind. 

It contained information about that guy. If it were up to me, I’d like to just ignore it and toss it straight into the trash can.

“Sigh… But I should take a look.”

I need to know my enemy to either prepare or ignore him.

I calmed my strangely pounding heart and took out the documents. There were a few photos and a single sheet of paper, which had a simple personal profile written on it.

-Name: Baek Ha-yeon (20 years old) 

-Occupation: High school student (B High School, 3rd year, Class 5)

-Address: 00 Apartment, Building 00, Unit 000 (Owns, lives alone)

-Family: Father, Mother, Myself

-Hometown: Busan

-Parents reside in Busan. Large commercial building rental business. Monthly income of 0000 won. 

-Lived at a relative’s house in England from age 5 to 17. Returned to Korea at 18 and enrolled in B High School.

It was content that had absolutely no connection to me. Moreover, he was someone who had only been in Korea for 3 years. If so, the reason he was so hostile towards me was because some series of events had occurred within those 3 years. Do I have to investigate that separately? It seemed like Secretary Kim would never tell me. Even now, he only informed me of the very basic parts.

“His smile is cute.”

Looking at the photo of his cat-like face smiling so brightly that his eyes weren’t visible, I unconsciously let out a chuckle. It was a different side from the face filled with hatred and angrily shouting at me.

“Smiling so well like this.”

I put the documents back into the envelope without much gain.

“I don’t see anything particularly strange.”

I put it in the desk drawer and closed it. If me being fake has some kind of impact on him, he’ll probably approach me again. Actually, I don’t know what he wants from me. It does bother me, but since he doesn’t even appear in the webtoon, he probably isn’t an important character. So I only need to make one thing clear.

“That I am Ha Jin.”

Yeah, that’s enough.

* * *

“What’s that?”

Sun Woo asked, looking at my luggage. Seeing everyone dragging a suitcase each at the resort reception, it doesn’t seem like I packed something I couldn’t bring, but Sun Woo was staring at my luggage as if he was seeing something strange.

“My luggage.”

“It’s too big?”

“Big? It’s for 2 nights and 3 days, you need to pack this much at least.”

Sun Woo, who only brought himself, was the strange one. I know he said he’s going back down in the evening. But I didn’t expect him to come up like that. I even packed a swimsuit because they said there’s a pool. It’s not like Sun Woo is going to swim in his underwear. He must really be planning to go back down at night.

A luxury resort for a college student MT… Moreover, there was no student contribution at all, I wonder how much money the department has. It’s all money that flowed from the Eunha Group. How much money did our group pour into my college admission and exam fraud? I should enjoy it all before I leave. I can’t just leave like this.

“2 nights and 3 days?”

“The MT is 2 nights and 3 days. You didn’t know?”

“Ha Jin. Aren’t you going down with me today?”

Why is Sun Woo deciding my schedule? I had no intention of going down at all. Of course, he did say ‘How can I leave you alone in a place where I’m not there?’ in the lecture hall, but that’s Sun Woo’s thought. I’m going to fully enjoy this nice resort and then leave. Before possession, I went to the military early, so I only had one semester of college life. Moreover, after returning to school, I couldn’t even play properly because I was struggling with strange gazes.

“What are you talking about? Going? I already got our room key.”

Kim Shin approached, waving the card in his hand. But our room?

“Our room key?”

“Yeah. Mine and Ha Jin’s room.”

The more Kim Shin’s lips curled up, the colder Sun Woo’s expression became.

“Ha Jin. If you’re going down today, do you need a room?”

“I’m not going down today. I’m staying for all 2 nights and 3 days.”

“Yeah, Sun Woo. Just play with us for this MT. Why do you keep trying to go down? Huh? Would it be better if we slept together? We can drink in the room at night and see Ha Jin drunk. That’s what I’m thinking.”

At Kim Shin’s words, Sun Woo’s expression froze, not just cold. It seemed like something big would happen at this rate, so I grabbed Sun Woo’s arm and pulled him.

“Let’s go unpack first.”

“I’m excited. A night with Ha Jin. Ah, we slept together at Grandma’s house too, right? I killed mosquitoes for you then, it’s a beautiful memory, isn’t it?”

As Kim Shin hummed a tune, Sun Woo, who was walking led by my hand, abruptly stopped. Kim Shin and I, who were following, also stopped with a screech due to the sudden brake.

Sun Woo spoke to Kim Shin with a murderous air.

“The room. Can three people use it?”

Ah, I wondered why he was so murderous. It was a question asking if we could share the room. Why is he asking if three people can use it? He said he’s going down today?

“The room is big, so it should be possible.”

“Then I’ll use it together too.”

“You decided to stay? You actually wanted to hang out with me deep inside, right?”

Sun Woo ignored Kim Shin’s words and pulled me to walk. With one hand pulling the luggage, I was helplessly led by Sun Woo’s hand. So it’s not that I’m losing in strength. It’s the luggage. Because of the luggage.

Damn it. It’s too much to say it’s because of the luggage, Sun Woo’s strength is too great.

What did he do to get stronger day by day?

As soon as we got on the elevator, Sun Woo roughly pressed the button. But when the floor number didn’t light up, he pressed it again repeatedly. Of course, the light still didn’t turn on. He’s going to break it at this rate.

I snatched the card from Kim Shin’s hand, placed it on the elevator card reader, and pressed the floor number instead.

“This is how you do it.”

Sun Woo’s eyes turned fierce and glared at me. Ha, what did I do wrong? He was quiet for a while, I thought. Is he fixated on something strange again and doing this to me?

“Sun Woo. Are you really staying?”

“If Ha Jin says he’s not going, I have to stay.”

“Don’t you have to work?”

“I’ll explain the situation. I can adjust the schedule.”

“You don’t have to do that because of me. If you have work, go.”

“Don’t worry about that. I told you that you always come first. This time, I’ll stay with you. Try having fun.”

He says it so casually that it doesn’t bother him. No. Why isn’t he going if I’m not going? It’s strange, strange. But at the same time, I was happy to be with Sun Woo. Now that the semester started, I at least see his face at school, but recently there was no time to be together at all. Sometimes I missed Sun Woo’s embrace… Huh? What kind of dog-like thought is this? Is this really a thought that came from my head? Me? Missing? Sun Woo’s embrace?

“Did I become invisible again?”

Kim Shin mumbled to himself with a laugh.

* * *

Of course, there was no way an MT would be without a drinking party. The scene of people freely sitting at the outdoor tables around the pool and drinking gave off the feeling of a pool party rather than an MT. The resort’s unique tranquil music and the lighting beautifully decorating the night. Hanging out at a pub in Daehak-ro is nice, but a place like this also had its own atmosphere and was good.

Yeah. It has a nice atmosphere.

“Hahaha. Crazy. Cha Beom-jun. Is it you again? Are you not going to answer this time too?”

Contrary to the quiet atmosphere, a soju bottle was spinning around on the table. As the mouth pointed towards Beom-jun, Mi-eun laughed loudly, holding her stomach. Beom-jun, whose face had already turned red, tried to glare at Mi-eun with hazy eyes, but that was it.

“Ah, that stupid expression. I need to take a picture of this.”

Mi-eun took out her phone and kept clicking, taking photos.

“Beom-jun is really drunk.”

Kim Shin looked at Beom-jun with pity, but Mi-eun didn’t care and mercilessly poured soju into Beom-jun’s empty glass until it overflowed.

“Ah, I rilly feel like I’m gerna throw up…”

“Then just say it. Why do you keep shutting your mouth and drinking?”

“How can I drink wish my mouf shut?”

“Even when drunk, Cha Beom-jun is still sharp-tongued as always. Tell me. Who was your first love?”

“Can’t tell…”

“What’s the big deal about a first love story? Why don’t you just say it?”

“Ish embarashing… Embarashing… Sniff.”

At Mi-eun’s scolding, Beom-jun pitifully swallowed his tears.

“Ish my firsht love… My firsht love… How can I shay it…?”

At Beom-jun’s tears, Mi-eun seemed flustered and abruptly stood up from her seat.

“You fool. Then you should have said you don’t have one and not drink. I thought you were hiding something because you kept not saying it. Are you okay…?”

Mi-eun looked after Beom-jun with an apologetic face. Beom-jun sobbed and lifted his head, then whined while looking at me.

“Ha Jin. Can you be my black knight? I’ll tell you everything…”

Beom-jun was slowly pushing the full glass towards me. If I drink that, I think I’ll pass out rather than be a black knight. At that moment, Sun Woo, who was next to me, blocked the glass Beom-jun was pushing with his hand like a wall. Beom-jun kept pushing the blocked glass towards me with difficulty. I moved Sun Woo’s hand, took the glass, placed it in front of Beom-jun’s quivering lips, and smiled at him.

“Beom-jun. You said you don’t have a first love, so you don’t have to drink. You look like you’re having a hard time, drink some water.”

I explained to Beom-jun, whose pronunciation was slurring, and gave him a glass of water.

“Haa… Thanks, Ha Jin. Thanks. Thanks… I’m so thankful, I’ll do anything for you… What should I do?”

The people at our table all looked at Beom-jun with pitiful faces. The kid was so innocent, I was worried he might get scammed somewhere. Although he always gets fooled by Mi-eun, I thought he wasn’t a pushover, but he was more innocent than I thought. How many drinks did he have because he couldn’t say he didn’t have a first love?

“Then… Now I’ll spin it…”

Beom-jun spun the soju bottle again, waving his hand. Until now, there was a 90% probability that it would land on Beom-jun. The spinning soju bottle must have felt sorry for him too, as it pointed its mouth at someone else.

“Wow. Kim Shin. It’s Kim Shin! Hey, Cha Beom-jun. Get a hold of yourself. You have to ask the question properly. Huh?”

Mi-eun shouted excitedly, standing up. It was a heated atmosphere just like the Korea-Japan match. Min-ha, who was next to Mi-eun, grabbed her and pulled her down, telling her to calm down.

Kim Shin was smiling leisurely. Beom-jun rested his chin on one hand on the table and blinked his eyes. He looked at the soju bottle, slowly moved his gaze towards the mouth of the bottle, and then raised his head.

“Kim Shin?”

“Hey, Beom-jun. Let’s make him eat it properly. Let’s see Kim Shin get drunk for once. Or let’s find out something about Kim Shin.”

“Okay. Kim Shin. Our Shin. Tell us about your first kiss. If you don’t want to answer, you have to drink a bottle of soju.”

“What are you saying?”

Mi-eun frowned. I didn’t really understand what he said either, but Min-ha seemed to have miraculously understood Beom-jun’s mushy pronunciation and shyly opened her mouth.

“He’s asking to tell us about his first kiss partner.”

“Oh, Beom-jun is not dead yet? Good job, Beom-jun.”

As Mi-eun patted him, Beom-jun seemed to feel nauseous and greatly swayed his upper body, making an “Ugh” sound.

“Ha, don’t do that…”

“Why? Do you feel sick?”

“Ugh!”

Making a sound, Beom-jun suddenly got up from his seat and ran away. Mi-eun, who was watching him, also followed in surprise, and Min-ha sighed and got up from her seat.

“Ha, I should go help too. The three of them were drinking. I’ll take care of the kids and bring them back soon.”

Various things happened in an instant.

With even Min-ha leaving, only Kim Shin, Sun Woo, and I remained at the table.

“As for my first kiss partner…”

Kim Shin smiled, spinning the tip of the soju glass with his finger. Neither Sun Woo nor I were particularly interested in the content.

“Should I tell you when the kids come back?”

At Sun Woo’s words, Kim Shin gulped down the soju.

“I can’t tell the kids. I think it will cause an uproar.”

“Why would it cause an uproar?”

At my question, Kim Shin smiled slyly.

“I drank, so I don’t have to answer. Do you want to know?”

Kim Shin looked at me with a mischievous smile. Well, I was a bit curious. Did he have his first kiss with some amazing person?

As I showed a slightly interested reaction, Kim Shin came close to my face. He covered his mouth with his hand and wrapped it around my ear, and Sun Woo sighed lightly and held my hand. What the, why are you suddenly holding my hand?

All my attention was focused on Sun Woo holding my hand. Kim Shin’s presence approaching my ear was becoming faint, but Kim Shin’s whisper completely erased Sun Woo’s existence as if wiped out with an eraser. The whisper he delivered to me was truly a nuclear bomb level.

“My first kiss. It’s you, Ha Jin.”

After hearing his whisper mixed with hot breath, a mushroom cloud puffed up above my head.
