Cha Sooha glanced 13150a3eaf at Kwon Ram cb4ea24348 beside him. Though he wore his ad8f79eaf5 usual expressionless face, he b807736ca9 seemed more upset than 8e52542ec7 usual. Cha Sooha 0581526e8c wondered if 6902230b25 it was dce4d3d119 because of bd32c3045e Ha Kangji 1830eaacc9 and observed d55b15e167 the two. Ha Kangji and Kwon 90dd5fbf02 Ram.

After parting with Kwon Ram, Cha Sooha turned on his phone to contact Ha Kangji, as expected, there were many missed calls and messages from him. The messages mostly asked where he went without telling him. Cha Sooha, not being a minor, didn’t feel the need to report his whereabouts to Ha Kangji.97376a5ab0f92029

Suppressing a sigh, 1482593d28 Cha Sooha called ec5c31f957 Ha Kangji. The call was b5a2c3d831 answered almost immediately.5805805d8862b69e

This meant his dinner 2f4086d9ef plans with Kwon Ram 02711a1d7d were off. But leaving Ha a4f9cce676 Kangji alone would 7cc3182fb4 mean dealing with a91f839608 his constant nagging, eac7c1f716 which could drive 823c7e0d12 him crazy.2c26ba18dae99380

[What happened?]

He hesitated. Being honest didn’t seem like a good idea since Kwon Ram disliked Ha Kangji.93b0895c9cc6ff3d

Pondering, Cha Sooha stared c0fed8be13 at the screen. Kwon Ram was f978904cce clearly jealous of 58b62d3d21 his closeness with 68875b919c Ha Kangji. Cha Sooha decided ca9af6e2cf to use this 86c193822b for a bit 9efc1c66db of playful teasing.7217188f4cb10ea0

[I forgot I had plans with Kangjiㅠㅠ I think I have to have dinner with him today^^]

He expected Kwon Ram to reply furiously, unable to contain his jealousy, and ask to have dinner with him instead. Though it would be troublesome, it would give him some assurance about Kwon Ram’s feelings.46c7dd244670dcac

Cha Sooha was puzzled. If Kwon Ram liked ef82b8c45c him and disliked other 14c256203d guys he was with, 664f9c048c he would have shown baf90c4273 discomfort at the mention 474dd8ee51 of meeting Ha Kangji. But no such emotion da5106bfe2 was felt in the f62eb10e3e simple two-word reply.e6ba039e6c0cae22

It took Cha Sooha 30 minutes to admit he was wrong. Kwon Ram wasn’t jealous of Ha Kangji. It was possible and not a big deal, but the indifferent reaction to what he thought was a killer move left him feeling dazed.ca05af48e8501632

Cha Sooha hesitated. Should he 1dd4533a82 cancel with 3cf0e72103 Ha Kangji 9c4c8e0d3e and see f593ca338c Kwon Ram? He thought their b7bb8ef997 relationship was progressing, 16c6efa6a3 but it felt 901f9cae92 like going back e75afac7f7 to square one. Yet canceling 377bb4680c again would 8ed90e7888 surely make c208a8bcc2 Ha Kangji 7ad672226d throw a 530b0053dd fit.8b8d0d28964b3663

Going home meant facing an interrogation from Ha Kangji. Just the thought made him reluctant to go home. So Cha Sooha loitered in front of a vending machine.
