Love History Caused by Willful Negligence

 

“…”

 

“My weakness?”

 

Lee Wooyeon pointed to himself and confirmed again. Choi Inseop was about to go crazy. The countdown, which started suddenly, made him go crazy. Otherwise, he could not admit what he had just said.

 

“You want to know my weakness?”

 

“… You don’t even have to tell me.”

 

When Choi Inseop turned his gaze to another place and said that, Lee Wooyeon brought his face closer to him and asked.

 

“Really? Can I really not tell you?”

 

“…”

 

He wanted to die.

 

He couldn’t do anything, he just wanted to die right now.

 

“Then I won’t tell you.”

 

Lee Wooyeon got up from his seat. Choi Inseop grabbed the hem of his robe and shouted.

  

 

“Please tell me!”

 

It was a gamble. He thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hear it from Lee Wooyeon’s mouth, which he wouldn’t be able to find out if he went on like this.

 

Lee Wooyeon looked down at the hand holding his clothes. A faint smile crept across his lips.

 

“Okay. I will tell you.”

 

Choi Inseop’s eyes twinkled as he raised his head and looked up at him. He thought he looked younger even when he was wearing a suit, but he looked even younger when he was wearing casual clothes and his hair was messed up. His eyes were clear like a boy in a dream. Lee Wooyeon could read the hope in those eyes.

 

“I didn’t tell anyone.”

 

Lee Wooyeon looked down at the lake and spoke.

 

“I can’t swim.”

 

“…”

 

“Even when I was taking classes at school, I was always polka-dotting during swimming class. I’m good at other sports, but I can’t really swim.”

 

“… I seet.”

 

The vitality disappeared from the twinkling eyes. As fast as water seeping into the sand.

 

Lee Wooyeon smiled and put his hand in his pocket.

 

“Yeah, my manager knows my weakness and what is it going to be used for?”

 

“What?”

 

“Wasn’t it meant to be used somewhere? Do you want to pass it on somewhere?”

 

“No”

 

“But why?”

 

Lee Wooyeon leaned over and looked directly at Choi Inseop’s face and asked. He was even looking forward to what he would answer now.

 

“I… I wanted to know. Everything about Lee Wooyeon… Weaknesses, knowing it will help you someday.”

 

“Because you’re my manager?”

 

“… Yes. That’s right.”

 

It was a stupid excuse enough to make him laugh. Choi Inseop regretted falling for Lee Wooyeon’s pun, but it was useless.

 

Lee Wooyeon smiled happily. A small ripple from his laughter spread across the surface of the lake. He was standing narrowly on the shore of the lake. Choi Inseop swallowed dry saliva as he looked at his shoulder exposed by the moonlight as a backlight. It felt like his hands were shaking from tension and paralyzing every cell in his head. Inseop’s slender hand reached out from inside the soft blanket.

 

“Are you going to push me in?”

 

“――!”

 

“If you’re next to me because you have a grudge against me, this is a great opportunity.”

 

“Oh, no.
It’s not like that.”

 

A light of surprise passed across Choi Inseop’s face. Then embarrassment, shame, and even trouble. Emotions that should not be revealed to the other party passed one by one.

 

Until Lee Wooyeon smiled and said, “I’m joking,” Inseop’s expression remained frozen.

 

Wooyeon wanted to give Inseop advice. If he wanted to deceive others, study a little more and come back. He wanted to tell him that no one will be fooled by such clumsy craft that didn’t even have the least amount of effort.

 

He wanted to explain to the manager with an innocent face how careful he should be to deceive people.

 

“Mr.
Inseop.”

 

It was the first time.

 

What made him decide to give such heartfelt advice to someone?

 

“――!”

 

As if noticing something, Choi Inseop’s eyes widened like a puppy with his tail on fire.

 

“Mr.
Inseop…”

 

Before even starting the advice he was trying to give to the other person in good faith, Wooyeon felt a burning pain in the area of ​​his head. Choi Inseop screamed and stood up, but Wooyeon did not understand exactly what he was saying. He touched the back of his head with his hand. A dull pain swept through his back again before he could figure out what the damp liquid was.

 

An unpleasant, incomprehensible language rang out loudly. Lee Wooyeon noticed that it was the dirty Chinese people he had met at the rest stop that had hit him from behind. He regretted adjusting the direction of the spanner he threw from the moving car so that it did not hit anyone. 

 

Lee Wooyeon swung his fists. One guy was hit in the face and fell down, but the other guy hit Lee Wooyeon’s shoulder again with the wooden stick he was holding. Choi Inseop rushed in and tried to stop the Chinese, but to no avail. He was hit by a fist that wasn’t too strong, and Choi Inseop fell to the floor. Wooyeon swung his fists, thinking that the next manager should be chosen as someone who at least knew how to protect himself. The Chinese guy lightly dodged Lee Wooyeon’s fist.

 

Normally, they would’ve killed him off, but when the man who hit him in the back of the head was fumbling with Choi Inseop’s body in the bathroom, he felt unpleasant, so he hit his groin with his foot, and that person ran up to him cursing.

 

The guy who hit Lee Wooyeon’s his head pushed him into the lake. The sound of a splash rang out, and the men giggled in unintelligible Chinese. The lights came on and the dog started barking, probably because he heard the noise from the neighbor next door. The Korean-Chinese, who knew that people would soon flock, blinked at each other and began to move. After he heard the car start, the loud Chinese language faded away.

 

Choi Inseop, who had collapsed, ran to the lakeshore. Lee Wooyeon’s figure could not be found. Lee Wooyeon sank beneath the ice-cold lake. He, who was hated like a thorn in his eyes, had finally disappeared from the world. The strength in his legs was released and he did not hesitate to fall to the ground.

 

Lee Wooyeon disappeared from the world. Jenny’s revenge was accomplished without him even touching him.

 

“haha… Hahaha…  haha… Jennie… I…”

 

There was no saying that he did it. The bad person Lee Wooyeon, that motherfucker was punished, but he didn’t even think that he had achieved Jenny’s revenge.

 

This was not revenge. It was just an accident.

 

He couldn’t go to Jenny with the news of the accident.

 

Choi Inseop shouted asking for help. He shouted out loud to send 119 or the police or anything. The sound of people rushing could be heard in the distance. However, Choi Inseop had an intuition that everything would be over when someone who could help came along.

 

Yet, it was not the time. He couldn’t let Lee Wooyeon go like that.

 

Choi Inseop took off his shoes.

 

The second sound of a splash split the ice-cold lake water.
