Basically, a sports car is a two-seater.
Even though the sports car I had chosen has a spacious interior, the basic structure is still the same.
Since itâs a two-seater, the three of us canât ride together.
âGiven the situation, thereâs no other way Yiseo can come?â
Oh Yoon-ji shrugged nonchalantly. Seeing her relaxed movements made me think she hadnât changed.
âThere is a seat.â
Perhaps it was not for nothing that they were friends.
Choi Yiseo boldly stepped forward and dragged me along.
Choi Yiseo made me sit in the passenger seat. Because the body of the car was lower than I thought, I struggled a little.
Anyway, I managed to sit down.
Then she sat on top of me.
âHow is it? Not bad, right?â
âHuh, huh?â
Oh Yoon-jiâs voice trembled slightly as she looked a bit flustered. Her expression stiffened despite her smiling lips, but she quickly composed herself and grabbed the steering wheel.
âHey, this is a bit too cramped.â
Car sex, my foot.
Choi Yiseo is sitting on top of me, but because the car is so low, she has to turn her head sideways awkwardly.
âLower your body a bit.â
Itâs more accurate to say sheâs lying down rather than sitting.
Our cheeks were close enough to touch, and I hugged her from behind to avoid hitting any of the many buttons inside.
âHmm, huh?â
A strange nasal sound came from beside me, but I decided to ignore it.
In the end, the three of us squeezed into the sports car.
I donât think we were this close even when having sex.
Now, feeling Choi Yiseo snug in my arms like a teddy bear, my heart was pounding.
âWhooo.â
Or maybe not.
It wasnât excitement; it was probably because I was wary of Oh Yoon-ji next to me.
âWhere are we going?â
âThereâs a café with a great view. Letâs go there.â
âBut we just had coffee?â
âIf we go, youâll want another cup.â
Though puzzled, Oh Yoon-ji replied with the engine roaring instead of an explanation.
The noise, almost deafening, also excited a manâs heart.
The supercar, drawing stares as it advanced, provided both comfort and satisfaction.
âWow.â
Apparently, Choi Yiseo felt the same way, looking around in awe.
âStop moving.â
As she squirmed, I tightened my arms around her, cautioning her. Choi Yiseo pouted in response.
âWhy? When else would I get to ride in something like this?â
âThen just move your face. Keep your body still.â
âIs it cramped and uncomfortable?â
ââ¦Youâre half right.â
It was cramped, but not uncomfortable.
No, the problem was that she liked it too much.
Earlier, when Choi Yiseo stimulated me, my butt flinched and my lower body tensed.
Moreover, the soft skin, body heat, and scent.
It was practically close enough to say we were overlapping, so getting excited was inevitable.
As the tension in my lower body grew stronger, I began to watch Choi Yiseoâs reactions.
âHik?!â
As expected.
Choi Yiseo seemed startled by the sensation of something poking her butt.
But soon she calmed down and whispered nonchalantly in my ear.
âItâs okay.â
Since a similar thing happened at the PC café before, she seemed used to it, and it looked like she understood that this wasnât something I could control.
That kind of consideration was lovely, so I tightened my arms around her a bit more, and she laughed with a nasal sound.
âThatâs ticklish.â
Even though she said that, it was clear she didnât dislike it.
âWhat are you guys doing right in front of me?â
The atmosphere, which was getting a bit strange, quickly calmed down due to Oh Yoon-jiâs scolding from the side.
If it had just been me and Choi Yiseo, imagining what could have happened here made me even harder.
âHuh?!â
Startled by that, Choi Yiseo let out a groan, but it was just one of those passing things.
Also, the sound of the engine bursting out as if in frustration, and the speed of us accelerating, were just a part of things.
The place we arrived at was quite a large coffee shop.
Located on higher ground, offering a view not only of Gahyeon University, but of the entire city.
I couldnât understand why we were going to a café by car, but with this atmosphere and scenery, it made perfect sense.
Even at a time when there shouldnât be any customers yet, various cars were parked all over the spacious parking lot.
âAh, here it is. This place is famous for their affogato? The ice cream here is delicious.â
Choi Yiseo, who seemed to have been here a few times, familiarly explained the menu.
ââ¦â¦â
Now I understood why Oh Yoon-ji had told me to drink more coffee.
âWoojin likes that. I gave it to him once before and he was quite crazy about it.â
âAhâ¦â
While parking, Oh Yoon-ji lightly mentioned my preference.
Choi Yiseo, not knowing this, and her expression darkened slightly.
Since Oh Yoon-ji had spent more time with me, naturally, she knew me better.
We struggled to get out of the car and headed straight into the cafe.
Earlier, what Oh Yoon-ji said strangely bothered me, so I thought about drinking something else, but nothing really appealed to me.
Since it seemed like they came here because of me, I just ordered an affogato.
âThatâs unexpected.â
While I was finishing my order and looking for a seat, Choi Yiseo glanced and asked.
âWhat did you get?â
âSomething like an affogato. I donât think youâd like it at all.â
âHmm, Iâm not exactly a huge fan of sweet things. But since itâs a mix of ice cream and coffee, itâs surprisingly good.â
âI see.â
Choi Yiseo nodded, saying she learned something new. Watching her mumble that sheâd remember it, a smile naturally spread across my lips.
âSo, what about you?â
âHmm?â
âWhat kind of coffee do you like? I noticed you often drink café lattes.â
Choi Yiseo, who was staring at me intently, answered with a small smile.
âRight, I often drink café lattes. But if Iâm tired, I add a shot to an iced Americano.â
âHmm, then Iâll bring you that during exam periods.â
âIâll be waiting.â
Even though the semester had just started, talking about exam periods already felt tiring.
Strangely, looking forward to that time wasnât just my imagination.
Anyway.
Since it was the right time, the window seat that looked like the best spot was vacant, so I sat there.
I sat across from Oh Yoon-ji, and after a moment of hesitation, Choi Yiseo sat right next to me.
âToday, Iâm here as Woojinâs friend.â
Drawing her own line.
âIf you insist.â
Oh Yoon-ji didnât seem to mind and moved on.
âWhat do you want to talk about?â
When I asked to start the conversation, Oh Yoon-ji stared at me blankly for a moment.
Did she feel something?
Was she organizing her thoughts?
Whatever it was, I was ready not to waver.
Choi Yiseo was beside me, after all.
âHmm.â
Oh Yoon-ji slowly placed her hand on the table. Then she glanced out the window and responded with a smile.
âNot sure.â
âHuh?â
It seemed sudden and out of place.
I thought she brought me here because she had something to say, but her expression held various complex emotions.
She looked confused.
She seemed happy.
She appeared sad.
It was disconcerting to see the always confident Oh Yoon-ji showing such a side, even if just for a moment.
âI think I just wanted to be with you like this.â
Oh Yoon-ji, resting her chin on her hand, stared blankly out the window.
The small smile on her lips carried a touch of sorrow.
âIt seems like that was all. Pretending to have something to sayâ¦driving, drinking coffee, and talking briefly.â
âWhat are you trying to do?â
I didnât want to be weak.
I didnât want to retreat.
I didnât want to leave any regrets.
We broke up cleanly, so there shouldnât be any lingering feelings.
âDonât act like this. Itâs not like you.â
âRight. Itâs not like me. Seeing you and Yiseo being all lovey-dovey probably made me a little sentimental.â
ââ¦â¦â
âI said it so confidently last time. That in the end, you would choose me.â
âYou did.â
âBut I realize now that I know nothing. Honestly, the fact that you could be with someone else like that besides me.â
Oh Yoon-ji slowly turned her head again.
Her always fiery red eyes were quivering.
âSeeing it for myself⦠Surprisingly, it doesnât feel so good.â
I was at a loss for words.
I had several things prepared to say in my head.
I was even thinking of calling a taxi to go home right away.
But in reality.
Seeing Oh Yoon-jiâs expression, which was always full of confidence, my feelings subsided a little.
Vroom!
The vibrating pager went off.
âIâll go get it.â
Did she think something was strange?
Or was it consideration for her friend?
Choi Yiseo grabbed the pager and went to get the coffee.
Leaving the table with just the two of us.
Oh Yoon-ji seemed grateful that Choi Yiseo stepped aside for a moment, looked in her direction, took a breath, and spoke.
âArenât you going to ask?â
âAsk what?â
âWhy I didnât contact you.â
Once again.
I was at a loss for words.
My mouth felt as dry as if it were filled with sand, and it seemed like I couldnât even speak properly.
âBut what does that matter?â
My voice, feigning coldness.
âYou left anyway. Whether you left a letter or whatever. I donât even know where you went. You could have called or texted, but you didnât.â
ââ¦â¦â
âNo matter how much I called, you never answered.â
Back then.
I canât even count how many times I cried with my phone in my hands.
I understand that Oh Yoon-ji had her own reasons.
I also understand well that we parted ways unintentionally because of my family.
Still, just one call.
Just one word asking me to wait.
I would have kept on waiting.
âNot contacting you.â
Oh Yoon-jiâs exhaled voice trembled slightly.
âThat was the promise I made with your father.â
âDad?â
âIt seems like that was what he was aiming for. That with time, youâll forget me. Even if you love me now, those feelings will fade as we drift apart.â
I unknowingly opened my eyes wide. I thought it was related to my eldest brother.
But it was my father who was involved?
âMaybe it was more because of my father. A girl with a death row inmate father, trying to nab a rich familyâs son to secure her life.â
My eldest brother had said that at Gold One.
He had done a background check.
He knew everything about Yoon-jiâs father.
As that memory resurfaced, I felt a throbbing pain in my head.
âYou really didnât receive my letter. I wrote it all down while crying.â
Seeing me like this, Oh Yoon-ji took a deep breath as if feeling despondent.
It was extremely awkward.
To see her so overwhelmed with emotion.
âIâll only complain until today.â
âYoon-ji.â
âIâ¦I succeeded in my own way. Enough to take you with me. Not as the chairmanâs son, but just to be with Kim Woojin.â
ââ¦â¦â
âBut, maybe the chairman was right.â
One semester.
âI made a place to bring you, but in reality, youâ¦â
During the semester Oh Yoon-ji was gone, Iâ¦
âYouâve been doing well already.â
What should I say?
What words should I offer?
My meager brain just couldnât come up with anything.
To me like that.
âWoojin.â
Oh Yoon-ji slowly smiled and asked.
âCan you stay a little longer?â
ââ¦â¦â
âWeâve gone on a drive together, came to a café, and now weâll have coffee.â
With a truly gentle smile.
Basking in the sunlight streaming through the window.
âOkay.â
With eyes closed as if taking a nap, she whispered softly.
âThis is the moment Iâve been dreaming of.â
