Chapter 1

One chapter unlocks every wednesday

“Hyung, I think I like you”

“Suddenly…….”

I looked at him while coughing and drinking water because I couldn’t believe what I just heard.

“……What?”

“I like you.”

However, as soon as I asked again, Go Geun-Young, who was sitting in front of me, started chatting calmly as if confirming he liked me.

I was dumbfounded for a moment, pointed my finger at Go Geun-Young, and then he headed back toward me. Then he nodded.

“Are you sick?”

I asked, turning my index finger round and round near my head.

Then Go Geun-Young showed his teeth and laughed.

“Do you want me to break your finger?”

At the same time, I felt the heaviness of a 3-kilogram dumbbell hitting my index finger, which had been stopped in the air.

I bent my fingers in a hurry and screamed.

“Are you crazy?! Why are you using superpowers all of a sudden?”

“You didn’t understand the atmosphere well.”

It was only then that I realized that he confessed to me.

I spoke to him in an absurd mood.

“You, me?”

“Yes.”

“……You like me? Then what do you want to date or something?”

“Yes?”

I got confused as I stared at Go Geun-Young, who nodded nonchalantly.

“You…… Do you like me? Since when?”

“It hasn’t been long since I realized, but I think I’ve liked you since about half a year ago.”

“Wow, it doesn’t make sense!”

“Why?”

As I looked at Go Geun-Young’s face, I felt anger rising from deep in my heart.

‘The bastard who said he likes me… Did those things?’’

Whether Go Geun-Young is the same guy as me or the most popular Esper in Korea…… This was a minor part of his personality problem.

I’ve been associated with him numerous times and have been picked on by him. All I’ve gained over the past year from being with him is stress…….

‘You like me? If you like me, shouldn’t you be nice to me or have an exciting reason? I have no idea. The more I think about it, the more I want to beat him.”

As I looked back on the memories of the past(?) I began to get angry.

However, Go Geun-young made absurd remarks regardless.

“So, we’re dating, right? Today is Day 1?”

“Are you crazy?”

When I got angry, Go Geun-Young looked at me as if he was wondering.

“Why?”

“Because I hate you!”

And I confidently revealed what I had hidden every time.

I’m his manager right now, which means that he’s my employer, so I’ve matched and cared for a lot of things…… I couldn’t stand this.

However, Go Geun-Young spoke as if he was somehow surprised by my obvious words.

“Hyung hates me?”

“Yes!”

“Then why did you kiss me?”

“……Argh! How many times do I have to say it was a mistake!!”

I shouted at Go Geun-Young, who was revealing my dark history. I covered his mouth tightly with my hand and looked around in a hurry, in case someone heard what he was saying.

Go Geun-young looked at me with his mouth shut in my palm, flashing his glass-beaded brown eyes.

“Hey, listen up! Really…… Well, it was a complete mistake then, because I was drunk, not you…… Oh, anyway……. Absolutely not! And that’s when you said okay! Didn’t you promise to cover it up?!”

Instead of answering, Go Geun-Young just blinked.

It was only then that I realized that I had been keeping his mouth shut too tightly, and I hurriedly removed my hand.

It was only then that Go Geun-Young slowly opened his mouth.

Then he asked me in a slow tone, which I don’t know if he was joking or serious.

“Oh, are you playing with me?”

“No, I didn’t play with it…….”

“It was my first time.”

“You can do it with a good person the second time.”

Go Geun-Young looked at me in a bewildered way. But I shrugged and quietly avoided his eyes.

Honestly, if the other person was someone else, my conscience would have been stabbed, but I didn’t want to take responsibility for mistakenly kissing Go Geun-Young, because I was drunk and mistook him for someone else.

‘It’s time for Go Geun-young to realize that something unlucky can happen in his life. And why didn’t you push me away? You just needed to use your telekinesis, right?’

I have finished rationalizing shamelessly.

However, Go Geun-Young did not go along easily.

“Come to think of it, I think that’s when I started to be conscious of you little by little after you kissed me.”

“……W-what?”

“I wouldn’t have liked you if you hadn’t kissed me back then.”

“…I told you to do it with someone else! Try it again!”

“I don’t want to do it with anyone other than you.”

I realized that Go Geun-Young started to insist on screwing me over

“I’m sorry…… I hate you. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.”

I removed my expression from my face as well. I thought I had to be as cold as I could to get out of this nonsense.

“It’s not because you’re a man…… You’re not my type. I like older people.”

“I don’t think older people will like you.”

“Oh, my God……. I’ll take care of that!”

I was deeply upset with Go Geun-Young, who confessed to me and was nagging even in the situation where he confessed to me, but I thought I succeeded in accurately conveying my opinion anyway. (Honestly, even at this time, I didn’t even believe that Go Geun-Young was seriously confessing to me.)

But then, Go Geun-Young raised one arm on the table and mumbled, holding his chin.

“Then Hyung molested me?”

“Moo…… What?”

“I thought you kissed me because you liked me, so I tried to forgive you, but you said it wasn’t the case.”

“No……, Hey, no matter what, it’s not sexual harassment…….”

“Why? Because you drank, don’t you remember?”

I couldn’t say anything as if I had eaten something.

At the same time, I was really afraid that Go Geun-Young would report me. This is because his specialty was pretending and fucking people as soon as they turned around.

“Hey……. I mean, I said I was sorry about that…….”

“You never once apologized. You just asked me to forget it because you made a mistake.”

I closed my mouth shut and looked at Go Geun-Young’s face.

No wonder…… At that time, he didn’t say much, was it because he thought it was a confession?

‘shit….’

It was a time when I was in agony about how to deal with this.

Go Geun-Young looked straight at me and said.

“So, it’s a no, right? Certainly.”

“Um…….”

I suddenly felt cornered by the power of a serious man. For some reason, I felt like if I told him I don’t like you, I’m going to be screwed over by Go Geun-Young.

At the end of the day, I uncrossed my arms to look determined and spoke as gently as possible.

“It’s not that I hate you……. Hmm, just, should I say it doesn’t suit me?”

“…….”

“Well, it’s not that you’re not good..… I like the nice older sister type, someone a bit mature and has a good personality…….”

“I see.”

After cutting off my lame excuse at once, Go Geun-Young got up from his seat.

And he called somewhere.

“Yes, secretary.”

I listened carefully to the term secretary. This is because my superior, who works at the Esper Association’s headquarters, held the position of secretary.

’No way, you didn’t call Kim Soo-Hyung right now, right?’

However, my predictions did not go wrong.

“Oh, it’s nothing else…… I want to take a half-year off starting tomorrow.”

As if wondering over the phone at the sudden request for a long break, the secretary’s voice was faintly heard asking why.

At this moment, I opened my eyes wide at the foreboding that the bomb was about to explode and quickly approached Go Geun-Young.

“It’s nothing special, I’m afraid the mental pain will make it difficult for me to carry out my duties. I was sexually harassed recently……. To a close friend I trusted…….”

“……Hey, hey!”

And Ko Kun-young did something much, much worse than I thought.

I was surprised and took the cell phone from Go Geun-Young’s hand.

Then, beyond the cell phone in my hand, I heard the voice of Secretary Kim Soo-Hyung, who was surprised.

[……What do you mean by sexually harassed? Geun-Young, are you at the police station?]

I hastily put the cell phone on my ear to deal with the accident.

“Ah, Secretary-nim! This is Lee-Seo! Geun-Young was kidding! I’ll call you back later!”

[What? What’s that?]

Stop.

I hung up in a hurry and stared at Go Geun-Young.

Then Go Geun-Young spoke with a crooked smile on his mouth as if he had been waiting.

“What do you think? Can I give you some time to think again?”
