Yes, It’s Me. The Obsessive Side Top

#067

Feeling the gazes directed at me, I forced a smile. Damn it, why are they looking at me in this situation? I awkwardly looked around. My eyes saw my classmates from the business administration department sitting and happily clinking their glasses.

“Wow, there are a lot of people here. Don’t you think? Is it someone among all these people?”

Why does everyone have a pitiful look on their face the more I talk? They were all looking at me with downcast eyes. In the webtoon, they never looked at Ha Jin like that, right? They were gazes of fear or avoidance. Why are you looking at me with pity?

“Sigh. Let’s stop this now. Seeing Beom-jun almost die and come back to life, this drinking game is no good.”

Mi-eun picked up the fallen soju bottle and set it upright.

“Yeah. Let’s just talk.”

Min-ha made eye contact with me and smiled slightly. Beom-jun suddenly sat up straight. His face was full of indignation.

“Hey, wait a minute. But Sun Woo didn’t specifically say who it was. Then he should drink, right?”

“Beom-jun. Do you want to be quiet, or do you want to be tormented for about a year with the fact that you vomited on my clothes?”

“Huh? No… I’m just saying we should calculate it accurately.”

“Yeah. Calculate it accurately, and do you want to receive my anger for a year?”

“No… Mi-eun, that’s not what I meant… It’s unfair if we just let it go like this…”

Beom-jun pouted his lips at the arrows of criticism that were unnecessarily directed at him. Mi-eun was gently slapping Beom-jun’s protruding lips with her hand and putting them back in.

“I’ll drink.”

Sun Woo reached out to grab his glass. But before that, Kim Shin snatched it away, so he couldn’t do it.

Kim Shin, who suddenly took Sun Woo’s glass, gulped down the full glass of soju in one go. He must have opened his throat to drink, as it was just one gulp and he was done.

“Kim Shin, the way you drink is so cool.”

As Mi-eun exclaimed and clapped, Min-ha next to her also clapped. Beom-jun had a puzzled expression for a moment, then joined in and clapped along.

“I was your black knight, so grant me a wish. Sun Woo.”

“I never asked you to be my black knight.”

“Why are you being like this? You were so drunk that you had difficulty walking and held Ha Jin’s hand to come here. I thought about it and became your black knight because I was afraid you would collapse if you drank this. Right?”

Kim Shin put the empty glass back in front of Sun Woo with a mischievous tone. Sun Woo frowned for a moment and then nodded.

“What’s your wish?”

Is he really going to grant the wish? Sun Woo is unexpectedly kind.

When Sun Woo asked, wriggling his eyebrows, Kim Shin lowered his head gently, pretending to be shy, and then raised his eyes. Even though he’s acting shy, his eyes are too lively. Raising his eyes with a fierce face only makes him look scary. When he smiles with his eyes gently closed, he suddenly looks gentle.

“Let’s sleep together tonight, Sun Woo. There are two beds. I want to sleep in your arms.”

As soon as he heard those words, Sun Woo grabbed the soju bottle and poured it into a glass. Then he picked it up and gulped it down.

Ugh… It’s bitter.

Just looking at it made me frown, feeling the bitterness.

“Wow. That’s crazy. Who drinks like that so savagely, Sun Woo? You’re the best.”

Mi-eun and Min-ha clapped again. The applause was louder than when it was for Kim Shin.

“Rejected. Satisfied?”

Sun Woo roughly put down the glass on the table and spoke coldly to Kim Shin, whose expression turned sullen.

“I’m heartbroken. Ha Jin, can you comfort me?”

Kim Shin stretched out his arms towards me. As if a child was begging to be held. That sight felt strangely familiar, but Sun Woo got up from his seat and tightly hugged Kim Shin. Kim Shin, wrapped in Sun Woo’s arms, placed his arms around Sun Woo’s waist.

Sun Woo put his arm around Kim Shin’s head.

“Sun Woo, if you use a little more strength there, I think my head will burst.”

“Whether it bursts or not.”

“So cold. But that’s what makes you more charming, Sun Woo.”

Mi-eun was busy capturing the two of them with her phone’s camera.

“Hahaha, this is really fun. It’s fun.”

I frowned, looking at the two of them hugging each other.

What is this? Kim Shin… Don’t tell me you really have feelings for Sun Woo? Do main leads usually seduce just anyone?

* * *

Since there was only one bathroom, the other two had to wait while one person was washing up. Kim Shin and I finished washing first, and Sun Woo was the last one in the bathroom. Sun Woo, who whispered in my ear before going in, ‘I’ll come out as quickly as possible,’ is really an incomprehensible guy.

Why are you saying that in my ear?

Kim Shin was sitting on the bed, leaning against it and looking at his phone. It was rare for him to look at his phone in front of me, so I started to get curious about what he was looking at.

“What are you looking at?”

“Ha Jin is paying a lot of attention to me today. Are you curious about what I’m looking at?”

“You’ve been looking at your phone since earlier.”

“Since we talked about first kisses. It just reminded me of something.”

What does a first kiss remind you of? As I had a curious expression, Kim Shin called me to his side. I went to the bed where Kim Shin was and sat on the edge with my butt sticking out. Kim Shin reached out and helped me sit comfortably on the bed.

As my body was fully on the bed, Kim Shin brought his shoulder close to mine. Then he held out his phone, so I took it and saw a photo on the screen. In the center of the low-quality photo, there was a round play button.

“Press it.”

“Is it a video?”

“Yeah. My favorite video.”

The background of the paused screen was someone’s home. When I pressed the play button, the scenery started to move rapidly.

On the paused screen, two children were tightly attached to each other on a large sofa.

One of them, boasting an angelic appearance despite the poor video quality, was notably smaller than the child next to him. The child, who was firmly holding the other child’s arm, had tears welling up in his eyes.

Someone’s voice was heard.

‘Ha Jin. Aren’t you going home?’

At the kind voice that sounded like it was calling him cute, the child let his tears fall.

‘I don’t want to go… I’m going to live with Kim Shin forever, right? Kim Shin, would you be happy if I left?’

Even while sobbing, the child was clearly saying what he wanted to say. Kim Shin, who was watching together next to me, gently pushed my shoulder and spoke.

“Isn’t it cute?”

“Is this me?”

“Yeah. Ah, when Ha Jin was young, he was completely stuck to me like glue.”

Damn… It’s really cute. The tiny kid is so pale with those huge eyes. His red lips moved stubbornly. The dialect is really cute too…

Huh? Dialect?

“Isn’t that Busan dialect?”

“Yeah. When Ha Jin was young, his dialect was really cute. He forgot it all now, right?”

“…”

Why is Ha Jin using dialect? Regardless of my curiosity, the video continued to play.

‘Does Ha Jin like our Shin?’

‘Yes. I like him.’

‘Even if you like him, you have to go home. Mom and Dad are waiting.’

‘I don’t want to go. Kim Shin, you should say something too. You should tell me not to go.’

The child who seemed to be Kim Shin’s younger self had a red face and was just stuttering without being able to answer. Young Kim Shin had a face like a baby predator, looking resolute, but unlike his appearance, he was totally spineless. Upset that Kim Shin wasn’t answering, young Ha Jin cried loudly. Judging by the shaking of the screen, the person filming seemed to be laughing, as laughter was occasionally captured.

‘You shay you like me too.’

‘Ah. Yeah, I like Ha Jin too.’

Kim Shin was only big in size, but he was showing off his stupidity. After saying that, young Kim Shin twisted his body as if he was embarrassed.

‘Then you should tell me not to go!’

‘Okay, okay. Don’t go. Ha Jin.’

‘Oh my~ Ha Jin, you can’t do that. You have to go home. You two aren’t even married, so you can’t do that.’

At those words, young Ha Jin mumbled something small as if holding back his tears. Then Kim Shin’s face turned very red, but that sound wasn’t captured in the video.

‘What did you say? Ha Jin? Auntie can’t hear you.’

‘…We can just do it.’

‘Can you speak a little louder?’

‘We can just marry Kim Shin!’

‘Really? Are you really going to marry Ha Jin? Shin. Son? Tell me. Are you going to marry Ha Jin too?’

Young Kim Shin’s face turned as red as a beet and he nodded his head.

‘Ah, so cute.’

A small whisper was heard. Then the screen started shaking wildly. It was because young Ha Jin suddenly kissed Kim Shin on the lips.

‘Oh my. Honey. Come here. Our Shin had his first kiss stolen.’

That was the end of the video. Laughter was heard from Kim Shin who was next to me.

“I was the victim? You stole my lips.”

So this was the first kiss? Damn.

Thinking that I had fallen for Kim Shin’s word play, I hit his shoulder. Then Kim Shin looked at me as if he was wronged for being hit. Well, it’s true that Kim Shin was the victim… Although that’s the case.

“Even if I did it, it doesn’t mean anything. Something from when we were young…”

“What? I’m going to live my whole life with that memory.”

Kim Shin rested his head on my shoulder. I held out my hand to Kim Shin.

“Let me see the video again.”

“Okay. Isn’t it cute when you watch it too?”

“It is, but…”

I played the video again on the phone I received. My expression only hardened as I watched that video. Putting aside the fact that Ha Jin is cute, why is he using dialect? Busan dialect at that? Ha Jin lived abroad until he was 5 years old and then came back. Both of his parents had no connection to Busan.

Where did Ha Jin learn the dialect?

Judging by the way he spoke, it didn’t seem like he was imitating it for fun, but rather he was used to using it in his daily life.

The intonation and way of speaking were perfectly Busan-style.

While I was looking at the phone, my body was suddenly pulled.

Sun Woo, who had finished washing up at some point, grabbed my arm with his hair still wet. I staggered from his touch and barely stood up after getting off the bed. As Sun Woo kept approaching, I stepped back and my legs hit the other bed.

“Ha Jin. You should have stayed put in your bed.”

Where is your bed and my bed here? At some point, Sun Woo seemed to have decided to use the same bed as me. I had a feeling of that when we were unpacking. It felt like there was an invisible line separating Kim Shin’s space and ours.

“Ha Jin. Should we just wash together from now on?”

“No. Sun Woo. You didn’t wipe the water? Your clothes will get wet.”

“Wipe it for me.”

“Huh?”

What kind of absurd nonsense is this?

I glanced at Kim Shin and he was just sitting on the other bed, leaning against it and laughing as if he was enjoying an interesting sight. As if he didn’t like me even glancing at Kim Shin, Sun Woo grabbed my chin and turned it towards him, so I had to endure Sun Woo’s murderous gaze again. He seemed to be in a quite low mood, and unlike him, he was throwing a tantrum. No. It’s scary to call it a tantrum.

“Wipe it for me. Dry my hair too.”

“You’re not even a kid…”

Seeing his resolute gaze, this guy was serious.

“Come here.”

In the end, I couldn’t win and pulled Sun Woo. If I confronted him here, it was obvious that I would be the only one struggling. This is a judgment based on my experiences so far.

“I should ask Ha Jin to dry my hair tomorrow too.”

When I looked back at those words, Kim Shin was smiling brightly. This or that… Sigh…

Am I your nanny?!
