Eighteen’s Bed

Chapter 23.5

Kang Suhyeon stretched her head toward the entrance and grabbed my hand, pulling me down to sit next to her. She cast a cautious glance as if afraid that someone might catch us. I followed her lead and sat down, finally asking the question that had been burning in my mind.

“What’s going on? Why is Go Yohan scary all of a sudden?”

Upon hearing my question, Kang Suhyeon flinched, then stretched her neck again to look around. Fortunately, the hallway outside was quiet. Relieved, she lowered her body and whispered in a very soft voice.

“Actually, yesterday... So-yeon somehow found your friend's contact information.”

The first answer was unsettling. I reflexively interrupted, maybe a little too quickly.

“How did she find it?”

“She found it through SNS, apparently.”

“Go Yohan doesn’t do stuff like that.”

At least, that’s what I thought. I never heard anything like that back in high school. I paused for a moment to think, and my expression must’ve darkened. Kang Suhyeon waved her hand dismissively, as if to clear up my confusion.

“Oh, no, not your friend. He doesn’t do that. So she found one of your friend's friends instead.”

“Your friend’s friend? If it’s Go Yohan’s friend... Could it be Kim Seokmin?”

“I don’t think that was the name.”

Kang Suhyeon tapped her chin lightly as she continued.

“Your friend really has a wide network. She just searched for the high school, plugged in his age and name, and it popped right up. Apparently, there’s no mention of him anywhere that doesn’t show up.”

I clenched my teeth quietly. I had suspected it, seeing the constant alerts, but it seemed like my number had spread quickly again. I brushed off my wrist, irritated. I had done it without realizing, feeling uncomfortable by the lukewarm temperature touching my skin. However, Kang Suhyeon, thinking I had been holding her wrist longer than expected, spoke in a somewhat shriveled tone.

“Oh, sorry.”

Only then did I realize and awkwardly forced a smile, trying to comfort her.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to. It was a mistake.”

“No, it’s fine. I understand. How would anyone feel with a guy holding their wrist so kindly?”

Kang Suhyeon awkwardly smiled, then continued.

“Anyway, So-yeon sent me a text today asking if she could contact your friend...”

“...”

“She asked if it was okay to contact him using the number she got, and she said she couldn’t wait any longer to hear from him.”

Damn it. My mood dropped sharply, souring quickly. I felt uncomfortable and uneasy. My body tensed up to the point where I couldn’t control it. Damn, how pathetic am I to get so irritated over something so trivial? I lowered my head in shame. I pretended to act awkward in front of Kang Suhyeon, trying to cool off the heat rising in my face.

Then when was it? Does it mean the time I got the shower text? Was that “Hello” from Park So-yeon? Or was it earlier? Before meeting me this morning? My mind was starting to spiral with jealousy. My fingers trembled, and I instinctively clenched and unclenched my fists.

“...And?”
