This Is My Second Relationship With My Wife

11 – Episode 11

After that, we met every day at the library and studied from the moment we realized that there was not much time left for the exam period.

“Ugh, it was so hard.”

Park Seo-hyun was clinging to Seo-a as usual.

“Good job.”

I patted Seok-ho’s back and looked at Seo-a.

Then Seo-a smiled at me sweetly.

If I look at Seo-a from the time I saw her until now, I can say that it was very smooth.

The reason I became friends with Seo-a was because I wanted to be with her anyway.

But apart from that, I also hope that she is happy.

Because her life is not good anyway.

“What are you thinking??”

At Seo-a’s question, I smiled and said I was thinking happy thoughts.

Not my happiness, but hers.

“Then are we going to meet and study on the weekend too?”

At Seok-ho’s words, I looked at Seo-a and

“Um.. I think it will be okay.”

Park Seo-hyun also said it was okay, so we decided to meet again.

“Um, is the school library open on weekends?”

“Uh.. let me ask and come back.”

I said that and asked the librarian.

“It probably won’t be open. If you want to study together, there’s a library near our school that’s good.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, I see..”

Seokho was talking to Seoa, so I asked him what they were talking about.

“Ah.. my parents are strict.. so I don’t have a phone. And… I’m a high school student! I have to focus on studying.”

Seokho praised him for that and Seoa looked a bit sad.

She didn’t have a phone for a different reason.

I tried to change the subject and asked them how about the library that’s close to here.

“Really? Um, a library… I don’t like it much.”

“There? The library on that mountain?”

“Maybe?”

That’s the only library that’s close to here.

“It’s nice there. It’s cool.”

Seoa asked Seohyun why he didn’t like it.

“I studied there last time and someone confessed to me with a post-it.”

Confession..? I roughly understood what the situation was.

“Really…?”

Seok-ho looked at Park Seo-hyun for a while after hearing that

Park Seo-hyun was pretty objectively, even though she had Seo-a next to her

Of course, I don’t have any thoughts because I have Seo-a

I have someone who is pretty both objectively and personally, so I don’t have any interest in anyone else

“Then how about somewhere else?”

“Sorry, but I don’t like that place for a while”

I nodded and thought of another place

“Then do you want to come to my house as we talked about last time?”

This time, there was nowhere else to go, so my house was the most suitable…

“Ah…no, let’s go somewhere else”

Huh?

Thud thud

“Well, you’re probably not used to it yet, you haven’t been together for long”

“…”

My house was rejected by Seo-a and I suggested a cafe or somewhere else, but there was no place

I excluded places that seemed to cost me money

In the end, we couldn’t talk much and parted ways

“Hey, cheer up, be a man”

Seo-a refused, not knowing if she was uncomfortable with my house or a man’s house

Come to think of it, she also changed it to the library when she first said she would come to my house

Seo-a was kind to me, but it was hard to define it as liking me.

Maybe I acted thinking of the future Seo-a.

“Well, we’ll get closer later, right? Bye.”

Seok-ho listened to some of my counseling and parted.

I came home and kept thinking about Seo-a.

I couldn’t meet Seo-a because I couldn’t exchange contact information with her.

I don’t even know where Seo-a’s house is.

I said I wanted to help Seo-a, but I didn’t do anything.

“What can I do for Seo-a…”

I fell asleep thinking that.

Chirp chirp

I woke up in the morning and heard the birds singing.

“Mom.. Dad”

I came out of the room and called my parents, but no one answered, so I called them.

[Hello? Are you awake? I left breakfast on the desk there. Eat if you’re hungry. Didn’t you say your friends are coming today?]

My mom bought snacks and drinks because I said my friends would come to the house for a while, but it was a meaningless house.

“No, that.. The appointment was canceled, so anyway, have a good day.”

I didn’t know where they were going, but I greeted them and ate breakfast and sat at the desk to prepare for the exam in two weeks, but

“I don’t want to do it…”

I was rejected by Seo-a twice and I couldn’t help her directly.

I look at the clock and it’s still 10 o’clock

Should I go out for a bit?

“There are a lot of people”

I was wandering around the busy street

People were walking by with smiles on their faces

“Should I have called Seokho and the others?”

I feel like a friendless nerd walking alone

I think I should call them now and reach for my phone

“Seoa…?”

Seoa was looking at clothes from afar

I wonder if I should approach her or pretend not to see her

“!!!”

Seoa and I made eye contact and she looked around nervously before coming to me

“Jihun..uh hi?”

Seoa looked tense unlike usual

“What are you doing here?”

It looked like you were looking at clothes

“Well…I wanted to see some clothes”

She said that and I looked at the store behind her. It was a quiet sale clothes store

They sold good quality clothes at a reasonable price. There were only one or two in the neighborhood and this was one of them

“Really..?”

I had rarely seen Seo-ah’s clothes.

She had been living frugally, so she only had the same clothes, and she didn’t know how to choose clothes, so she rarely went shopping with me.

So, while I was wondering whether to say hello and go somewhere else or to go with her,

“Can you…look at my clothes?”

“Huh?”

“I just…want to dress neatly, but I don’t know what to buy…”

Then I noticed Seo-ah’s clothes…

“Ah! Don’t look!! I just came out for a moment and I’m going back in..just”

Seo-ah tried to hide her clothes, embarrassed.

A slightly stretched tee with a clothes drawn in the middle and gym shorts with slightly short legs. It was an outfit that anyone could see didn’t fit.

“I didn’t see it.”

I turned my head and Seo-ah was silent for a moment.

“Uh.. th-this”

She said something and then

“So…can you look at clothes with me…”

We started to look around the store and pick out clothes.

“How about this?”

I gave Seo-ah a little bit of coordination.

It was similar to before, but slightly different. The white tee had no pictures or patterns, and the jeans were dark but had a neat design.

Seo-a took the clothes and went into the dressing room, saying

“Don’t peek~”

“Ugh, cough cough”

Thud

Seo-a said that and went inside

Of course I won’t look.. Why did she say that all of a sudden..

Come to think of it, I heard a similar thing from Seo-a when we visited a clothing store after we got married

“Do you want to come in with me?”

I resisted with all my might then, but I couldn’t stop her at night

I waited for Seo-a while thinking about that, and she came out when the door opened

“Wow..”

She looked like a model and I was surprised too

“Oh.. Oh my?! The clothes suit you so well”

The owner lady praised her as she saw her

“Oh.. How is it?”

But Seo-a seemed unsure and asked me, and I said the best thing I could

“You’re so pretty!”

Seo-a smiled at that

We decided on the clothes and told the owner lady that we would pay

“The lady is so pretty~ Are you a celebrity?”

“Ah..no, I’m just a student and I’m going to wear this as it is. It’s okay to wear it, right?”

The lady was surprised by that and called out the price.

“Then of course it’s possible. Let’s see, these clothes are? 23,000 won.”

“Uh..just a moment, the money”

Seo-a opened her wallet and checked the money.

“Ah.. how much is it if I only buy the pants?”

Seo-a tried to buy the pants because she had no money.

“Hmm, okay, I’ll give you 3,000 won off because you’re so pretty, my lady!”

“Ah..you don’t have to do that”

Seo-a was surprised by that and said it was okay, but

“It’s okay, a pretty person like you should wear nice clothes. That way, your boyfriend next to you will be proud of you.”

“Me..boyfriend”

Me..me?

“Uh.. I”

“Then I’ll take it gratefully. Here’s 20,000 won!”

“Okay, come again”

Seo-a said that and grabbed my hand and ran out hastily.

“Phew”

“Seo-a?”

Before I could ask, Seo-a said to me.

“Jihoon”

“Huh..?”

“I’m sorry about yesterday. I invited you with a lot of thought, but you refused…”

I stopped Seoah from apologizing and said

“No…I’m sorry. I didn’t think it might be uncomfortable for you”

“…Uncomfortable”

Seoah whispered and asked again

“What did you say? I couldn’t hear you”

“Not uncomfortable! I actually want to go, but I’m afraid of being a bother…”

“A bother? Not at all”

I could agree right away if you said you wanted to come now

“Then…are your parents home right now?”

“No? They seem to have gone somewhere since this morning?”

I don’t know where they went, but it might be hard for them to come back soon if it’s for work

“Then…can I come today?”

Yes? Right now?
