Nice to See You — Chapter 20

PROFESSOR, LOOK AT THIS!

YOU GOTTA TURN THAT THE OTHER WAY!

ANY MORE TWEEZERS?

JAEYI, YOU CAN FINISH INSIDE IF YOU WANT...

I DON'T MIND...

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME...?

MAYBE I PUSHED HIM TOO HARD, JUST LIKE WHEN WE DID IT IN THE BATHROOM...

WHY DOES KWON JAEYI HAVE SO MUCH FREE TIME?

JAEYI'S ALWAYS LIKE THAT...

HE USUALLY SPEAKS UP WHEN HE DOESN'T LIKE SOMETHING...

THOUGH I GUESS I DO PUSH HIM PRETTY HARD...

I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO LEAVE HIM ALONE WHENEVER I SEE HIM.

WAIT, "WHY?"

IT'S NOT LIKE THERE NEEDS TO BE A REASON BETWEEN US...

WE'RE STARTING THE SHOOT! PLEASE WAIT FOR YOUR TURN.

HEY, STOP DAWDLING AND HURRY UP!

AH...

Ko Ideum I'm gonna grab lunch with my instructor before heading home.

INSTRUCTOR...?

ARE YOU OKAY? YOU NEED TO EXHALE SLOWLY THROUGH YOUR NOSE...

WHEN YOU COME UP, "PWAH!" THEN BREATHE IN.

IF YOU DON'T GET THE TIMING RIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA KEEP SWALLOWING WATER!

EASIER SAID THAN DONE, I KNOW... I STRUGGLED A LOT WITH IT AT FIRST TOO. JUST DUNKING MY HEAD UNDERWATER MADE ME PANIC, LIKE MY BODY WAS COMPLETELY PARALYZED.

AH... BUT YOU'RE DOING GREAT NOW.

WELL, I'VE BEEN HERE LONGER THAN YOU, HAHAHA! JUST KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND FOLLOW MY LEAD, KIDDO!

OKAY...!

FOCUS, FOCUS...!!!

HAA...

I ENDED UP SWALLOWING SO MUCH WATER BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT.

I COULDN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT BEFORE...

YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT...

CUM INSIDE ME, JAEYI...

WHY DID I ACT LIKE THAT?! JAEYI MUST HAVE THOUGHT I WAS BEING SO WEIRD...!

ESPECIALLY SINCE HE DIDN'T CUM INSIDE ME...

GET A GRIP, KO IDEUM...

YOU GUYS HAVE JUST BEEN SPENDING SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER, YOUR FEELINGS ARE GETTING MIXED UP...

... BECAUSE...

... JAEYI IS THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT RIGHT NOW.

WE WERE BOTH ONLY IN THIS FOR THE SEX FROM THE START.

BESIDES, YOUR NOVEL IS GOING WELL...

YOU'RE NOT THE TYPE TO GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF LIKE THIS...!!!

(FRANTICALLY COVERING HIS BUTT)

YOU WASH UP PRETTY AGGRESSIVELY, DON'T YOU KIDDO?

AH...

ACK!

O-OH NO...

OH, UH, H-HEY...!

UH... WHAT'S UP...?!

D-DID HE SEE? I SHOULD'VE PUT MY PANTS ON FIRST...!

DID THE LESSON GO WELL?

HUH? OH, Y-YES...

HUH? DID HE NOT SEE IT...?

IT'S NOTHING MAJOR...

BUT IDEUM, COULD YOU WAIT FOR ME FOR A BIT?

HUH?

I WAS HOPING WE COULD GRAB LUNCH TOGETHER.

Menu

I-I ENDED UP AGREEING TO THIS...!

I'M NOT GONNA GET INDIGESTION FROM THE AWKWARDNESS, RIGHT...?!

THE VIBES HERE ARE PRETTY NICE, HUH?

HUH? OH, YEAH! EVEN THESE POTTED PLANTS ARE SO PRETTY...!

IT'S EVEN BETTER IN THE EVENING. WE SHOULD COME BACK SOMETIME...

IT'S MY TREAT TODAY, SO ORDER WHATEVER YOU WANT.

AH, NO! LET'S SPLIT IT! THIS PLACE LOOKS PRETTY EXPENSIVE...

IT'S FINE... I'M THE ONE WHO INVITED YOU...

PLUS, I MADE SOME MONEY THANKS TO YOU TELLING ME TO BAIL OUT LAST TIME.

I DID...?

SO SERIOUSLY, EAT UP. I'VE GOT PLENTY OF MONEY.

HMM? I'M SERIOUS.

A-AH, NO, IT'S JUST THAT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU... I MEAN...YOU HAVE THIS RELAXED VIBE! ERM...

I MEAN, NOT THAT MONEY IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SOMEONE RELAXED...

I'M JUST MAKING IT WORSE...

AFTER I RETIRED, I ENDED UP MAKING SOME PRETTY DECENT MONEY THROUGH STOCKS. IT'S STILL GOING PRETTY WELL FOR ME, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF...

WOW... I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT KIND OF STUFF...

I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT INTUITION... THOUGH LUCK PLAYS A HUGE PART TOO...

HONESTLY, I WAS REALLY SICK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I HAD TO GET MAJOR SURGERY AND ALMOST DIED.

UH...

I LIKE TO THINK THAT ALL THE THINGS I'M ENJOYING NOW ARE MY REWARD FOR GETTING THROUGH THAT...

I GUESS THAT'S WHERE MY RELAXED VIBE COMES FROM.

I'M CURIOUS ABOUT YOU TOO, IDEUM...

OH, DO YOU MIND IF I ASK WHY YOU ALWAYS WEAR A RASH GUARD?

AH, THE TRUTH IS...

AHA. SO YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING SIMILAR, HUH...?

YEAH... BUT FOR ME...

...I DON'T THINK THIS SCAR GIVES ME ANY KIND OF RELAXED VIBE...

IT'S PROOF OF WHAT MADE YOU HEALTHY AGAIN, IDEUM. THERE'S NO NEED TO HIDE IT.

OH, THE PERSON WHO RECOMMENDED YOUR CLASS TOLD ME THE EXACT SAME THING...

AH...

YOU MUST BE REALLY CLOSE TO THAT PERSON.

UM, WE'RE JUST...

ARE THEY THE SAME ONE THAT LEFT THOSE MARKS ON YOU?

AH, NGH... I'M SO SORRY...!

IT'S FINE... DON'T BOTHER PICKING IT UP. THE STAFF WILL BRING US ANOTHER ONE...

HONESTLY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME...? I JUST CAN'T HOLD BACK WHEN I'M CURIOUS.

I'M SORRY... IT SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE PRETTY STRESSED OUT ABOUT ME SEEING THEM, TOO.

BUT DON'T WORRY. I'M NOT JUDGMENTAL. IF YOU HAVE A PARTNER, IT'S NO BIG DEAL-

A P-PARTNER...? IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT...

WAIT... A-AH, NO, I MEAN...

AHA...

SO...

RRRING

...IT'S JUST A PHYSICAL THING?
