Love for Love's Sake - Chapter 58
Chapter 58
[Ahn Sia] : Autumn national championship
[Ahn Sia] : Lodging near the competition venue
[Ahn Sia] : Have you made a reservation?
[Tae Myeongha] : Oh right
[Tae Myeongha] : I forgot
[Tae Myeongha] : Can’t I just reserve one once there?
[Ahn Sia] : Sloppy person…
[Ahn Sia] : Big brother, the national competition
[Ahn Sia] : All the school track teams from around the country
[Ahn Sia] : Are coming..
[Tae Myeongha] : ㅇㅇ
[Ahn Sia] : That’s why it’s called the national competition??
[Tae Myeongha] : Hey, I’m not a fool
[Ahn Sia] : Big brother is a bit foolish..
[Ahn Sia] : Teachers, athletes, etc…
[Ahn Sia] : Nearly three thousand people are comingㅋㅋㅋ
[Ahn Sia] : Lodging fills up quickly~
[Tae Myeongha] : …
While sending the messages, I rubbed my forehead. I see. It was my first time following a competition, so I couldn’t have imagined something like this happening.
Of course, if people from all over the country were coming, lodging would be scarce and there might not be any left for me.
“What’s the matter?”
Cha Yeowoon asked with a worried expression, but his voice seemed distant. If I had made up my mind to go, I should have thought about the lodging. There were so many things on my mind lately that I had forgotten.
I was also complacent because the competition venue was in the countryside. Reservations might already be filled by now, what should I do?
[Ahn Sia] : ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Ahn Sia] : Fool
[Ahn Sia] : Haa………
[Ahn Sia] : A fool
[Ahn Sia] : Going to the competition
[Ahn Sia] : Lodging near Yeowoon, 30 minutes away
[Ahn Sia] : In the countryside with barely anything to do
[Ahn Sia] : Crying while playing phone games every night or…
[Ahn Sia] : Praise the cute Sia
[Ahn Sia] : Lodging near the youth training camp
[Ahn Sia] : If bored, calling Yeowoon to chat
[Ahn Sia] : What’s big brother’s choice??
“This cute thing.”
Admirable thing. Smart thing. If she was next to me, I would have hugged her.
Cha Yeowoon impatiently covered my phone screen with his hand.
“What cute thing?”
“Sia.”
Cha Yeowoon’s expression completely soured. Perhaps my answer had skipped too many details.
“Sia is cute?”
“Of course, hey. Loosen up your face. It’s not that kind of cute.”
“Is there any other kind of cute?”
Why were my words being twisted? Cha Yeowoon, who was close to Ahn Sia but constantly harbored a sense of rivalry, was absurd and cute.
“What were you talking about…”
“You’re cuter.”
I struck first and stroked Cha Yeowoon’s hair. I found that this quieted him down. While he tidied up his messy hair, I didn’t forget to reply to Ahn Sia.
[Tae Myeongha] : Sia’s cuteness is like an angel and a fairy, a gift from the gods
[Tae Myeongha] : orz, orz
[Ahn Sia] : I can’t feel the sincerity
[Tae Myeongha] : orz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Ahn Sia] : ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
My mind eased slightly. Meanwhile, Cha Yeowoon, with unkempt hair, was still expressing his dissatisfaction.
Today I got off at the same stop as him. My direction was opposite of his.
“Weren’t we going to my place?”
Of course, Cha Yeowoon followed me as if he thought we would go together.
“I have somewhere else to go.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have to visit somewhere around here.”
At my vague answer, Cha Yeowoon’s forehead creased.
“Go home safely. You need to pack.”
“I’ve already packed.”
As I tried to detach from Cha Yeowoon, he didn’t follow any further and stopped. So to speak, he seemed to understand my words well these days. Maybe he had caught on. Like a puppy that had learned the word ‘stay,’ he obediently listened when told not to follow.
“You did well. Goodbye cutie. See you at the school vacation ceremony.”
When I said jokingly to lighten the mood, Cha Yeowoon’s dissatisfied expression finally softened. Despite seemingly wanting to follow me, he said goodbye. Though, he turned back several times after.
Tomorrow was the school vacation ceremony. It was scary how fast time flew.
[ Time Remaining: 205 days ]
I couldn’t afford to lose any more days.
[ Sub-Mission: Find 100,000 (485) fans for Cha Yeowoon. ]
The number was steadily increasing, but it wasn’t enough. I had no idea how to gain 100,000 followers.
“I’d like to broadcast it somewhere.”
Anyway, that was that, for now I just had to do what I could.
I continued walking while checking the location I had previously found on my phone. There were about three places nearby. If I wanted to return home before it got too dark, I needed to move fast.
Tomorrow was when I would be heading to the competition venue. Today was the last day to find it.
After turning the corner of an alley, the place I was looking for appeared.
The worn-out exterior covered with small and large signs exuded an intimidating atmosphere, making people hesitant to approach. It started out as a phone store, then an international grocery store, then a currency exchange, then a pawn shop, then a whole bunch of shops in one building.
Before entering, I stopped. I had felt someone’s gaze.
“Cha Yeowoon?”
Did Cha Yeowoon follow me? I called out, but there wasn’t even a shadow in sight down the alley. Well, if he had followed me, the message window would have appeared.
I observed for a while, but the street was quiet. Maybe I was being too paranoid.
It was all because of Cheon Sangwon.
“There are more crazy people than you think.”
Cheon Sangwon said that there was someone who kept sending him pictures of body parts through private messages, that someone had immediately followed him after he had posted a picture of himself sitting in a store, and that he had received messages from people saying they were watching him.
