chapter 8
Episode 8. The Min-yu couple, the beginning of a crack (1)
After that, a similar daily life continued.
When playing games, only major events were played, so sweetness and excitement continued to flow without any time to get bored.
Now, it’s boring to listen to classes from the first period to the afternoon. It feels like going back to the high school I graduated from before.
I smoke different things in class, and Min-seo Kim works hard to get closer to me through interviews.
Park Min-soo and Lim Seo-joon constantly made me feel bad.
With Jung Gun-woo, he was afraid of me, so although I was sitting next to him, I got very far from him.
On the other hand, I became close with Seoyoon Choi.
We met on the rooftop every lunch break and got closer.
Now, the negative image of me that remained in her seems to have almost disappeared.
The frown on her face that I had seen on the first day of riding the bus was no longer there.
On the contrary, her smile was much more common.
In addition, by continuing to visit her rooftop, she took away the opportunity to notice Kim Dong-hyun.
Originally, she resides on the rooftop, witnessing Donghyun Kim being bullied and helping him was the first meeting between the two.
I intentionally cut off contact between the two by talking to her in a direction where I couldn’t see her playground.
She started to feel more comfortable with the time we had together.
Occasionally, if I pretended not to know and got close, my face would blush.
However, I don’t think it has risen to a rational crush yet.
The degree of reaction that a member of the opposite s*x with an outstanding appearance can show when approached.
Like that, one day when we slowly built up the build-up, the day we had planned finally arrived.
Saturday.
The day when Min-soo caught a cold even though it was a date, a sweet event unfolded when Yu-gyeong came to nurse and confirm their affection for each other.
As of today, those events will disappear from the timeline.
Let’s go to the cinema.
**
Waiting for Minsu at the cinema.
Today, to create a date atmosphere, we decided to meet at the movie theater rather than leaving together at home.
Since we live right next door, I don’t think that kind of atmosphere would exist if we go home together.
After waiting like that for 15 minutes, there is no call from Minsu.
We’ve been fighting a lot lately, so I tried to solve it by talking about things that have accumulated over the years.
-Giying
Ah, the phone rang.
Looking at the screen, it was Minsu’s text. After all, there is no way that Minsu will go diving without contacting him.
*I caught a cold today. I don’t think I can date you.
-Ah, that’s right! Shall I go help? I’ll go buy some medicine!
*No, don’t come.
– Why? My boyfriend is sick, how can I not go? Wanna go help, huh?
*Don’t come.
“Haa…”
I don’t feel well. It’s the day I was looking forward to, but they told me not to come so strongly.
It’s also sad. Of course, the hardest thing right now is Minsoo.
As I was lost in those thoughts, I suddenly heard a voice.
“What is it, where is Park Min-soo going and are you alone?”
When I turn my eyes, I see a scary but handsome man.
Has characteristic blonde hair and tanned skin.
**
‘Hey, can I go in now?’
No. After a while.
Left hand writing on my thigh.
I watch Lee Yoo-gyeong from afar.
She was wearing a white blouse and a long, ankle-length A-line brown skirt.
She wore clothes that were barely exposed, just like her personality, but her white ankles, which were slightly exposed, were strange.
‘Certainly, a living person is prettier than an illustration.’
Because the blouse is tucked inside the skirt, it adds to the youthful charm.
She was wearing a small cross-body bag across her shoulders, the strap of which was tucked between her breasts, adding a little s*xiness to her bubbly look.
I don’t attach much importance to women’s breasts here, but it does to me.
She tapped her keyboard for a while to see if there was a message on her cell phone, and then put the cell phone back in her cross-body bag.
Aa
Another letter was written. It was an initiation signal.
‘OK.’
Then I approached her and talked to her.
“What is it, where is Park Min-soo going and are you alone?”
“Uh…? Hyeonwoo Kang? I just… I had work, and I want to go home.”
“Hey, you came out dressed like that? If there is no one to play with, come play with me.”
“Huh? Together with you?”
“Why, don’t you like it?”
“Oh, no. OK.”
She accepted my offer, as if she had nothing else to do when she got home.
Okay. It flows with a very good flow.
Minsu, you will be waiting for Yoo-gyeong at home, but Yoo-gyeong will not go to your house today.
You are suffering from a cold at home alone.
It is 1:00 PM now. It’s lunchtime.
“Did you eat lunch?”
“No, I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Then, let’s eat first.”
“Yes! What do you want to eat? How about marathon?”
Minsu’s taste was marathon. Originally, it was tonkatsu in the world. With the transition to Nam station, your eating habits have also changed.
“I hate marathon. Do you eat tonkatsu?”
“Uh…? Huh! I like you!”
“Then, let’s eat it. Do you know of any restaurants?”
“Yeah, follow me! It is on the first floor of this building.”
She shouts with a smile, and she asks her to follow her.
I grinned at her and followed her to her restaurant.
On the way, she lowered her head and spoke to her.
“Hey, I’m sorry.”
“What?”
“I mean Minsu. Have you been in a bad mood because of Minsu? I tried to stop him, but he didn’t listen…”
Oh, an apology that wasn’t even your fault! It’s good that the heroines didn’t change into an abomination.
If even the heroines had changed like that, this wouldn’t be an NTL thing, it would have become a waste product.
“I honestly did, but you are not going to apologize. Because I saw what you were trying to stop.”
“Oh, yes! Thank you for saying it like that.”
“By the way, what is the relationship between you and Park Min-soo? He haunted me every day. Like you said when you introduced yourself, are you a childhood friend? Aren’t you two dating?”
What kind of answer?
We are in a secret relationship, and there is a high possibility that we are just childhood friends, but the moment we reveal that we are dating, our plans become very difficult.
A tense moment. Each step is slow, and the moment the mouth opens is vividly seen.
As if in slow motion, even her voice sounds low and slow.
“Four..”
Buy? Buy what? Are you actually dating?
“..Thread. What you said when you introduced yourself. We are childhood friends.”
Whew, that’s good.
“Really?”
After tilting my head once, I didn’t mention Minsu any more.
As long as she externally defined her and her Minsu as childhood friends, when I was with her, I would subconsciously think of Minsu as a childhood friend.
Simply put, my boyfriend Park Min-soo won’t come to mind for a while.
Since we are chatting like that, I can see a pork cutlet house.
In the original world, Minsu’s favorite pork cutlet restaurant. Their tastes have changed, but their favorite restaurant hasn’t changed.
“Then Hyunwoo, what are you going to eat? Pick the cheapest one if possible…”
“Hmm? Will you buy it for me?”
“Huh? Of course, wasn’t a woman supposed to buy it?”
She opens her eyes wide. Because of her brown hair, it reminds me of a curious squirrel.
“What are you talking about? Of course, there is no such thing as having to buy food from one side. Let’s pay Dutch.”
“Really? Thank you, Hyeonu.”
No, what are you thankful for?
What kind of relationship has Yookyung in this world been in, so she reacts like this?
“Boss~! Two of our sirloin cutlets, please!”
“Yes! I’ll bring it to you soon!”
After ordering, the food came out after waiting a while.
Tonkatsu was an ideal pork cutlet. Shall we call it the grandpa sundaeguk of pork cutlet?
The sauce was faithful to the basics, and it brought out the greasy taste of the tempura.
The tempura batter is crispy, so it’s crispy when you bite into it! The sound was vivid in my ears.
In addition, even after one bite, the savory juices came out rather than greasy frying oil, adding to the savory taste.
We talked a lot while eating.
I feel that Yugyeong, who was difficult with me at first, is gradually becoming more comfortable with me.
You can tell by looking at his expression.
It is often said that there are fake smiles and real smiles in human smiles.
If your eyes are stiff but only the corners of your mouth go up, it’s a fake smile. It’s a real smile if you smile with your eyes.
Take a look at the polite smile. And when you look in the mirror, your eyes will find themselves unmoving.
When she first met her at the cinema, her expression was just a fake smile.
But now, the eyes were smiling at the crescent moon.
“…So Kazax is cursing at me there! It was absurd, so I just… Ugh!”
“hahahaha, I have that experience too. I’m playing Ugong in the jungle…”
Sometimes when I want to play another game, the role I played.
In the game, it exists under the name Legend of League, with a sense of parody.
Of course, the champion’s name has changed little by little.
“Wow… But you also play rolls. I’ve never seen a guy who plays lol in my life! All boys hate it because it’s not funny…”
“My hobbies are very peculiar. By the way, the tonkatsu here is really good? Let’s come together often.”
“Huh? Me too?”
“Why, don’t you like it? Do you want to eat with me?”
“No! Let’s come together in the future!”
When I spoke with her mischievous smile, she answered right away.
How long has it been since you had a meal with a smile and conversation like this?
After being possessed, this is the most delicious meal.
We left the restaurant after a satisfying meal.
Fortunately, thanks to the part-time flyer job I did the other day, I was able to pay for my meal.
“Hyunwoo, would you like to go to a cafe?”
She hesitates while looking at me.
I grinned and tried to open my mouth.
…And my body moved on its own and I put my arm around Yoo-gyeong. That too, like wrapping your neck completely with your arms.
I continued without panic.
“Hey, what kind of cafe is this? Let’s go to the pc room. Oh, did you say you wanted to go?”
“No! I also like the PC room better. I just did it because boys like talking at cafes and things like this.”
“Hey, we talked about rolls earlier, did we talk about sweet desserts? Let’s go do a duo.”
“Yes! Good!”
She speaks with a broad smile. When she laughed, I felt better too.
**
“Cough, Cough.”
It looks like he caught a cold.
I am Minsu Park.
I’ve been dating my childhood friend Lee Yu-gyeong since high school, and we’ve been dating for about 4 months now.
Today was supposed to be a date day, but it was too late to go out because of this guy’s cold.
Looking at my cell phone, it was already 15 minutes past the scheduled time. I need to contact you, but I forgot.
Well, it’s okay. Yu-gyeong is not the kind of person who would be angry about something like this.
When she texts her, she offers to come and nurse her. I feel like I can feel the affection towards me in the text, and it feels good.
I just bounced back and sent him not to come.
Nevertheless, she wanted to help me. Every time I confirmed her affection like this, my heart seemed to be filled.
What a great girlfriend.
This time, I bounced harder. No reply came.
I was a bit uneasy, but considering her personality, she will come to take care of me eventually.
Ah, are you changing clothes? What do you say when you come?
Over the past few days, Kang Hyeon-woo, a handsome guy who is annoying to look at, has been ridiculed a few times because he doesn’t like it, but there was a fight because of that.
Today, I have to solve this. And in a warm way, we confirm our affection for each other.
When I think of her worrying about me and opening the door, she smiles.
“hehehe…”
