When I quit my job, my co-workers became obsessed with me

Dasom’s shoulders trembled slightly. Is this what it feels like to put a handful of shaved ice in front of you and put it on your back?

Yu Ga-ryun’s words had a tingling and creepy energy.

‘Why, why suddenly say that⋯⋯.’

Even after the farewell party, which was the last chance, ended in the worst form, it was implicitly taboo within the company to bring up Yoo Ji-jin’s name.

But why did Yu Ga-ryun bring out Yu-jin’s name at this time in this situation?

‘Are you angry? Because you left because of me⋯⋯.’

So maybe he’s trying to take responsibility and tell him to bring Yu-Jin back somehow. Even if I get down on my knees and pray with my hands and feet together.

However, there was no anger characteristic of an angry person in Yu Ga-ryun’s eyes. Rather, her eyes were brighter and more pure than ever.

Then why? While sitting on a cushion of thorns, looking at Yu Ga-ryun’s face, a thought popped into her mind.

a place of reconciliation.

Like the farewell party that Min-seo Oh planned last time, Ga-ryun Yu is planning an event that can restore the relationship between Yu-jin and co-workers.

I didn’t ask in detail because I was afraid of touching her feelings – to be exact, it was Idasom herself who couldn’t overcome her guilt and avoided talking with her coworkers – but Yu Ga-ryun was the only person who stayed on the island to spend time with Yu-jin at the farewell party. It was.

If you think about it, didn’t you change the name you used to call ‘brother’ back to ‘brother’?

It is not at all strange to say that they had been reconciled by wiping out the emotions that had been stagnant for two days. Just like Dasom did.

‘So you’re going to check it out in advance. It might be difficult if someone with a bad feeling comes along.’

Of course, no one would.

After thinking, Idasom slowly opened her mouth.

“yes.”

It was a question that had nothing to think about.

“I like you.”

I liked him⋯⋯ as a younger brother who I had been with since college and as a friend who can share pain and give and receive help.

“No, not like that. What do you think of me as a man?”

“uh?”

A groan escaped from Dasom’s mouth. What do you think as a man, what kind of nonsense is that?

that’s a man Because Dojini’s biological gender is male.

“So sexual⋯⋯.”

Yu Ga-ryeon cleared her throat and opened her mouth again.

“I asked if he looked like the opposite sex. To my sister, my brother.”

The moment he heard those words, a memory from the past flashed in Dasom’s head. It was a memory of when she was in elementary school.

It was very noisy that day. It was because a few comic books brought by a mate next to him caused a great sensation among his classmates.

A cartoon depicting a romantic relationship between a man and a woman. Up to that point, it was no different from the cartoons in the library, but the cartoons she saw that day were pure cartoons for adults, not children.

Unlike the learning cartoon, which ended with blushing and holding hands, the cartoon expressed the possible relationship between a man and a woman in more detail.

‘Do you think I look like a woman of the opposite sex?’

In the last half of the manga, the male protagonist kisses the female protagonist while crying, instead of answering it. Overwhelmed by the romantic atmosphere, Dasom swallowed her saliva and turned the page.

I saw the backs of two men and women panting on the bed. Over several pages, in great detail.

Dasom’s breath stopped at the shocking sight she had seen for the first time in her life. Just as I gently lifted my index finger and carefully turned the pages, the comic book began to shake.

To be precise, the faces of the characters were boiling like jugs of water on a gas stove.

A familiar face appeared on the silent page. A man with dark hair and sharp eyes, Yu Yu-jin’s face.

No, not only that, but Idasom’s face was also raised. The faces of the male and female protagonists were replaced with their faces as if they had been synthesized.

‘Don’t think about other women.’

Dasom in the cartoon said so, and pulled Yu Yu-jin’s face with both hands and kissed him roughly. She frantically mixed her tongues as if exploding her lingering lust, then took a deep breath and removed her face.

A transparent thread that hangs between the tongue and tongue. Dasom, who looked at it satisfactorily, pushed Yu-Jin Yu, who was on top of him, and knocked it down in the opposite direction, and said:

‘I’ll make you think of me.’

Then he reached out and went into Yudojin’s pants⋯⋯.

“No no no, me, why me?”

Dasom Lee jumped up like an elementary school student who saw a pure cartoon for the first time.

“⋯⋯.”

Ga-ryun Yu, who looked at the scene with a blank look, continued talking while eating shaved ice.

“I heard from my brother this time. My sister helped me.”

“Ah, yes. That’s it⋯⋯.”

That day, Dasom said to Yoo-jin, ‘Explain it properly’.

It was because he thought that it was a courtesy to the generous woman who sent Yu Yu-jin to him and a precautionary measure to prevent more misunderstandings from spreading.

‘The person I liked was pitiful.’

Dasom felt relieved that the person Yoo Yu-jin likes is a younger brother she knows and cherishes very much, but also feels like something is rumble.

“They even slept together in the same bed.”

“Ah, that, that, that, that’s what⋯⋯!”

Dasom’s heart pounded and fell sharply.

“It was, after all, because of the acting, that is, because your parents could suddenly come into the room, so that’s why I didn’t really do anything! What you are thinking about is nothing⋯⋯.”

“Are you really okay?”

“Yes! Really, really, it was nothing like this. It’s just going to be difficult, I’m sorry, I was just thinking a little bit.”

“Hmmm⋯⋯.”

Yu Ga-ryun, who was worried for a moment while touching her chin, nodded her head with an expression of understanding.

“I see. I also thought that the older sister had a crush on the older brother. Why do you have to keep immersing yourself in acting? If you keep doing that, you might really feel like that.”

“Eh, ah. It can’t be. There is no one else like that. How can I tell Dojin⋯⋯.”

“Is that right? You are my brother.”

Yu Ga-ryun laughed bitterly.

“It’s even weirder to see a face like that as a man.”

“yes?”

“No, to be honest, my brother⋯⋯.”

Yu Ga-ryun, who looked around for a moment, whispered carefully, as if she was trying to say something she shouldn’t have said.

“You look so ugly.”

“What?”

Dasom’s brain stopped. She was looking at Yu Ga-ryun with an absurd look, as if she had heard the words ‘the earth is flat’ or ‘the sun rises in the west’.

“Why?”

However, Yu Ga-ryun only blindly closed her eyes as if she was asking what the problem was. Rather, he seemed to have thought that his words would be accepted unconditionally with a little bit of embarrassment.

“No⋯⋯ I can’t, did you? Is it Dojin?”

“Yeah, it’s ugly. I can count on my hand out of all the people I have ever seen⋯⋯.”

“No, uh, where are you going?”

Yu Ga-ryun shrugged her shoulders as if feeling pressure from Ida-som’s demeanor, who cut her words out, but continued to speak slowly.

“For once, your nose is a bit ⋯⋯.”

“nose? What’s with Dojin’s nose?”

“The middle is bumpy. He, the lower part also feels a little sloppy.”

“It’s about holding the center of the face clearly on a soft face line. It also fits well with Dojin’s atmosphere. And a snub nose? That means you have a high nose. It’s nice to look cool, but what’s the problem?”

Dasom started to be genuinely worried about her younger sister’s eyes.

At a young age, your eyesight is already starting to decline. No, the processing of visual information is done in the brain, so there may be a problem with the brain.

“The nose is the same, but the eyes aren’t real⋯⋯.”

“What is it? Of course, Dojin has small eyes. But because of that, you look calm. As the eyelashes extend under it, it looks like it’s wet with rainwater, but at the same time it looks soft. So, no matter what kind of expression you make, it’s not awkward. If he had turned to acting sooner⋯⋯.”

Dasom Idasom continued to explain passionately like a curator who talked about the artistry of a statue to a visitor without art knowledge.

Ga-ryun Yu, who had watched her passionately for a while, nodded her head and opened her mouth.

“That’s right⋯⋯. He was handsome.”

“okay! It wouldn’t be strange to take him anywhere right now, our Dojini.”

“I think so.”

“uh?”

“But not like my sister. Because that time has passed.”

“⋯⋯What do you mean?”

“Sister, do you know the word bean pod?”

Soybean pods refer to the husks remaining after the beans have been shaken. It’s nothing to see by itself, but when you enter it through your eyes, the story changes.

The bean pods attached to the retina like lenses blur the vision and cover the imperfections of objects in front of the eyes. Even if there are several small dots on the other person’s face, it looks like a smooth face to the eyes of the person with the pods.

“That’s also stuck in my sister’s eyes.”

Yu-Jin Yu’s appearance was, to the last, an acquired result that anyone could achieve through steady management and proper styling, and her natural face itself was at a normal level.

“What ⋯⋯?”

“It will go on like that for about six months. Are you curious? Once you start thinking that way, it really looks like that. I wonder if my shoulders have gotten wider for nothing, my hands are so hot, and I can only see that person’s face more clearly⋯⋯. In fact, nothing has changed since then.”

Dasom trembled as if trembling at the words that seemed to pinch the delusions she had been making recently.

Seeing this, Yu Ga-ryun smiled and said.

“It’s true that you like it. in a rational sense.”
