This Is My Second Relationship With My Wife

9 – Episode 9

“See you at lunchtime~”

“Okay, should I go over there?”

When I asked Seo-a that

“No, I’ll come”

Seo-a said she would come.

“No, I’ll come”

“Hey! Listen to your friend”

“Uh.. okay”

For a moment, I saw the future Seo-a overlapped.

That’s how I made a lunch date with Seo-a and went back to class to take the next lesson.

Ding dong dang dong

“Enjoy your lunch”

“Yes!!!”

Everyone answered cheerfully. Of course, today’s school meal was delicious.

“Let’s eat”

“Uh..”

As soon as the teacher left, Seok-ho came up to me and asked me to eat as usual, and I was about to nod, but…

“Uh.. I mean, that is..”

“Hey.. you don’t mean you’re with the queen..”

I nodded.

“…Oh my god”

Seokho looked at me with a very surprised expression. Actually, even if it wasn’t Seokho, anyone else would be surprised.

“Yeah, do well and don’t lose points”

Seokho didn’t say anything more and gave me a thumbs up.

“Pfft.. just eat with me”

“..What!?”

Honestly, I wondered what to do, but it should be okay if he’s my friend.

And just then

“Hey! Seoa is looking for you”

I turned my head at the voice of one of the boys and saw Seoa waving her hand with a smile.. and the friend she said.. Park Seohyun?

“Did you come?”

“What are you doing that..that time”

Then Park Seohyun, who was behind Seoa, pointed at me and said.

“It..it was real”

No, why are you surprised as if you saw something that didn’t exist

“Huh? What’s wrong Seohyun, by the way, did Jihun know?”

“Uh? Uh.. well, I knew”

Park Seohyun avoided the eyes of Seoa and me.

“Ah.. hello, no, hi, that queen.. no, Seo-ah-nim”

“Uh.. behind you is”

Seok-ho seemed very nervous, as he kept rubbing his hands on his pants.

“This is my friend Seok-ho, we’re going to eat, can I bring him along..?”

“..Well, I brought Seo-hyun too, so let’s go together”

That’s how Seo-ah and I, and Seok-ho and Park Seo-hyun, the four of us entered the cafeteria.

“Today’s meal is delicious, so there are a lot of people”

We were a bit late, so the line was quite long.

“We can’t help it, let’s just wait in line”

That’s how we started to wait in line.

“I didn’t introduce you properly, did I? This is Park Seo-hyun, and um.. my best friend”

“..Really?! Best friends? With me!!”

Somehow, Park Seo-hyun was so happy that he nodded his head and greeted him.

“Well.. nice to meet you, I already knew your name, and by the way, you and Seo-ah are really friends?”

“…Wha-what, yeah..?”

Actually, we weren’t friends before..

“But when..”

“Hey! First of all, this is my best friend, Park Seok-ho, you can just ignore him”

I quickly introduced Seok-ho before Seo-ah could ask Park Seo-hyun a question.

“Hey..! How can you introduce me like that, that.. anyway, hi, I’m Seok-ho, and uh.. what do you call it, I like games..?”

I looked at Seokho with pity as I hit my forehead several times in my mind. No, Seokho.. I think I understand a little bit why you don’t have a girlfriend.

“…Game?”

“Ah..no, that..just forget it.”

Seoa just smiled blankly and Park Seohyun asked, but Seokho didn’t have the courage to answer.

“Come on, he likes moving sports like soccer or basketball, not just games. He probably meant that.”

“Uh, yeah, that’s it, that’s it.”

Oh my.. It’s not even a blind date, what am I going to do with you?

“Pfft, you’re really a funny guy, huh?”

While Seokho’s eyes were spinning, we talked closely.

“Well.. He’s lively when he’s with guys, but he’s a bit shy, you know.”

At that, Seoa chuckled and laughed.

“You really can’t talk.”

“No..no, it’s not that?! I’m just nervous.”

“Yeah? Then when will you relax?”

“..Soon.”

Surprisingly, Park Seohyun and Park Seokho seemed to get along well.

“It’s our turn now, right? Let’s go in.”

While we were chatting, our turn came and we went into the cafeteria.

“Wow, this looks delicious.”

“Yeah, you too, eat well, Jihun.”

“Seo-ah, you too”

“…”

“…”

When my friend and Seo-ah saw us talking to each other, they stared at us and said

“When did you become so close?”

“Yeah, I’m curious too. Until a few days ago, you were a wounded literature student who looked at her from afar”

“…What are you talking about?”

“What is that story?”

I thought about shutting Seok-ho’s mouth right away and Seo-ah was very curious about that story.

“When did we become friends…well”

Actually, we became friends.. The official declaration was from yesterday, but I met Seo-ah a week ago.

So I looked at Seo-ah’s reaction

“It was from last week. We became friends then”

Seo-ah thankfully followed my cue and spoke well.

“Really?”

“Wow! Really?!”

They were surprised by Seo-ah’s words.

“Ugh.. This guy, when he talks to me, he’s almost a wounded wolf, huh?!”

“Come on, you just eat your food”

I personally put my chicken nugget in his mouth and closed it.

“But last week.. Seo-a, you were feeling bad, right?”

“Huh? Ah? Um..”

Seo-a was unusually flustered.

“Ahem.. That was just a time when I felt down”

“Hmm.. Really?”

Park Seo-hyun nodded as if she understood something, but

“??”

“Is there such a time?”

Seok-ho and I didn’t understand.

“Forget it, it’s a girl thing”

???

After finishing our meal, we went up to the second floor.

“Since it’s a pity to part like this, let’s talk here and there”

We sat down in the student lounge space in the middle of the hallway and decided to chat.

“Hey.. I’m doing well, right..?”

“Did you go on a blind date or something?”

“No.. No, but I saw Yoon Seo-a in front of me.. Aren’t you nervous?”

I glanced at Seo-a and she also met my eyes and gave me a light eye greeting.

“Not really?”

“Wow…”

Seokho looks at me with amazing eyes

The reason I don’t care much is that I was engaged to Seoah for two years after dating for three years. Of course, I’m not nervous because I’ve seen her face every day.

“What are you two talking about?”

At Park Seohyun’s words, we separated and tried to talk about something common.

“But.. what do you want to talk about?”

At Seokho’s words, we looked at each other for a moment.

“Right.?”

“Uh.. how about studying?”

Actually, Seoah and I weren’t very good at communication either.

“By the way, the exam is not far away. Do you want to meet later and study?”

At Park Seohyun’s words, Seokho and I had question marks on our faces.

“Uh.. guys, you know we have an exam in two weeks, right?”

Seoah looked at us with a nervous expression.

“…No?”

Seokho said that and I nodded my head. The two girls shook their heads.

“Sigh..”

“Jihun.. you promised to study with me.”

Come to think of it.. the exam is soon.. I didn’t know.

“Sigh.. you two didn’t study for the exam.”

“That.. that’s true.”

“I.. did a little bit”

If I wrote anything during class, that counts as doing..

“Don’t lie”

“No, I didn’t do it”

Seokho and I got scolded by the two of them.

“Then do you want to stay and study from tomorrow?”

That’s when Park Seohyun gave his opinion.

“Where?”

When I asked, Park Seohyun said as if it was obvious.

“Where do you mean, like the library or a cafe”

A cafe.. I glanced at Seoah secretly and her expression was awkward but she didn’t show it.

“Go to a cafe? It costs too much money, we’re not going to study there every day, are we?”

“Um.. that’s true”

Surprisingly, Seokho said that going to a cafe every time would be a waste of money and decided to change the place.

“Then.. should we study at the library?”

“But we can’t talk there”

“That’s true”

So we thought about where to go

“Then do you want to come to our house?”

“..Your house?”

“Your place?”

“Me! I want to! Jihoon’s place”

Seoah stood up from her seat and shouted, and the attention of the surroundings was focused on her.

“Ah…”

“Sh…should we run?”

“Seokho, that looks even more suspicious.”

Seoah lowered her head and sat back down.

“Well.. anyway, yeah! Let’s do it at your place, Seoah agreed too”

Park Seohyun said that and agreed herself.

“It’s good that his place is close”

Seokho nodded his head because he had been to our place a few times, and Seoah, who was embarrassed, also nodded.

“Then, today?”

“Uh, I can’t today”

“Sorry, me too, that’s why I said let’s do it tomorrow”

Seokho and Park Seohyun had said they couldn’t.

“Uh..then let’s do it tomorrow”

If I was alone with Seoah, I would have gone to our place right away..no, no, I wouldn’t go to a guy’s place like that alone

“Okay”

Seoah agreed and we went back to our own classes.

“Hey, why didn’t you just study with Seoah today?”

Seokho came up next to me and asked.

“But..but it can be awkward to be alone with a girl, right?”

“Of course, that noble queen is nice to you, so it might be possible”

Is that so..?

“Ask her casually after class if she wants to study together”

I started to think about Seokho’s words

I would do it right away if I could get closer to her, but Seoa’s feelings are important

“Fine, I’ll consider it”

“Ah.. by the way, I had fun today”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, you smile a lot these days, it’s nice”

He said that and packed his stuff and moved to the mobile class.

“Geez.. when did I not smile?”

But I felt a bit grateful to Seokho for worrying about me.
