The Probability of Meeting Your Ex on a Straight Dating Show Chapter 23

Seojeong smiled at Minha’s worried words and headed to his room.

Seojeong, having grabbed a change of clothes, entered the bathroom. He unbuttoned his stiffly buttoned dress shirt. With the last button undone, the shirt fell open.

Seojeong took a deep breath in and let it out. For some reason, he just didn’t have any energy. A feeling of not wanting to do anything. He leaned against the sink, holding it with both arms for a moment.

It was when he was blankly immersed in a moment of idleness. As if not even allowing Seojeong a brief rest, a loud clattering sound was heard. Soon after, the bathroom door swung open.

What is it. Startled, Seojeong lifted his lowered head and looked into the mirror. In the mirror, he saw Cha Yoon standing in front of the door with a heavily hardened expression.

Their eyes met through the mirror. Cha Yoon’s gaze swept over Seojeong. Below his startled, stiffened face, the shirt with its buttons undone, unlike before, caught his eye.

No, to be precise, he couldn’t take his eyes off the straight, neatly aligned collarbones revealed between the shirt, the chest muscles that moved with each breath, and the pink nipples nestled between them.

Cha Yoon forgot even the reason he had come to the bathroom and eagerly admired Seojeong’s body. His mouth watered so much that he swallowed his saliva three times.

The gaze, so blatant and lingering, continued without end. Seojeong, unable to bear the intense stare, unconsciously called Cha Yoon’s name.

“Mr. Cha Yoon…?”

Only at Seojeong’s voice did Cha Yoon finally come to his senses, as if waking from something. Fuck, what did I just do. Cha Yoon couldn’t accept the fact that he had not only stared blankly at another man’s body but had even swallowed his saliva.

This is all Ki Seojeong’s fault. It’s because Ki Seojeong shamelessly bared his skin like that. So I had no choice but to look. It’s not because I’m some gay bastard who gets aroused by men. Everything is Ki Seojeong’s fault.

Having reached this nonsensical conclusion, Cha Yoon strode forward, closing the distance. Standing right in front of Seojeong’s nose, Cha Yoon roughly grabbed the shirt that was spread open on both sides. Not stopping there, he proceeded to button up each button that Seojeong had painstakingly undone.

“Have you lost your mind? Where do you think this is that you’re taking off your clothes so carelessly?”

“…”

“When you were nagging me about wanting to show off my naked body to the whole country, and all that, and now you’re the one doing this?”

Seeing Cha Yoon standing right in front of him with a ferocious expression, Seojeong was dumbfounded. Seojeong promptly swatted Cha Yoon’s hand away. With a smack, Cha Yoon’s hand was knocked aside.

Even in this situation, Cha Yoon was more concerned about Seojeong’s still-exposed chest than his own stinging hand. He forced his gaze, which kept drifting toward Seojeong’s chest, and spoke.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing, Mr. Cha Yoon?”

“Can’t you see? Because you were trying to do something strange…”

“What strange thing did I do?”

Are you asking because you don’t know? At the retort, Cha Yoon snapped.

“You were baring your chest just now! Like some pervert!”

As soon as the words finished, a hollow laugh escaped Seojeong’s lips. His expression was one of disbelief. What did you do so well to make that face? Cha Yoon frowned.

“Is that a look of disbelief?”

“Wouldn’t you be just as baffled, Mr. Cha Yoon?”

“What?”

Do guys who like men not feel shame? Cha Yoon couldn’t understand Ki Seojeong, who acted so confidently.

“You barge into the bathroom uninvited, and then make a fuss about me taking off my clothes to wash up—it’s weirder that you think that’s okay.”

Seojeong pointed behind himself with a nod of his head. There, a shower booth with transparent glass walls was situated. Only then did Cha Yoon realize the nature of the door he had opened and entered.

Cha Yoon was stunned. His mind, which had been dominated by the need to cover Ki Seojeong’s body, went completely blank in an instant. And what followed was embarrassment. The fact that he had been so fixated on Seojeong’s bare skin that he hadn’t even had time to think about where he was standing made Cha Yoon feel ashamed.

Silence once again filled the bathroom, which had been full of raised voices. A silent standoff continued between the two for a while.

The first to move was Seojeong. He let out a small sigh at the sight of Cha Yoon, who was tightly clamping his mouth shut like a clam across from him. At this rate, they would only end up wasting precious time. Already exhausted, Seojeong didn’t have the energy for a long conversation with Cha Yoon. He swept his fallen bangs aside and opened the floodgates first.

“So, what’s your business?”

“…”

“You followed me all the way to the bathroom because you had something to say, right.”

Say it quickly. The voice even sounded somewhat annoyed, and Cha Yoon hesitated. Seojeong’s face, when he looked, was full of fatigue.

Cha Yoon’s lips twitched as if he was about to say something. But no words came to mind. His initial goal of ‘finding out Ki Seojeong’s first date partner’ had already sunk deep below his consciousness long ago, due to all sorts of distracting thoughts. His completely blank mind couldn’t possibly function properly.

“…Never mind.”

Cursing quietly, Cha Yoon ultimately left the bathroom without asking anything.

Bang—

The bathroom door closed with a loud noise. Seojeong was alternating his gaze between the spot where Cha Yoon had been standing just moments ago and the closed door. Then, the closed door swung open again.

This time too, it was Cha Yoon who appeared. As Seojeong thought, Now what, Cha Yoon opened his mouth as if providing the answer.

“The door.”

“…”

“Lock it and wash up. From now on.”

To suddenly come back in and say ‘Lock the door and wash up.’ It was a nagging remark that came out of nowhere. As Seojeong stood there, bewildered, Cha Yoon, apparently finding him unreliable, took the initiative and pressed the lock on the inside handle.

“Lock it, like this.”

As if one extra remark wasn’t enough, Cha Yoon pointed at the locked lock with a gesture.

No, does he think I’m just standing here because I didn’t understand that? Just as Seojeong was about to open his mouth to say something, Cha Yoon pulled the door handle faster than he could speak.

Once more, a clicking sound of the door closing was heard. Seojeong was left alone in the bathroom again. He was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. For a very brief moment, he thought it might have been a dream, but the faint scent of Cha Yoon’s perfume lingering in the bathroom proved it was reality.

“Heh…”

A sound like air escaping came from his mouth. Seojeong couldn’t come to his senses for quite a long time even after Cha Yoon had left the bathroom.
