Work Text:
When I left the Jaesu academy and received a pass call from the Korean university after January, of course, the whole house was turned upside down.
I got a congratulatory call from friends and close relatives, as well as relatives of distant villagers who have never seen each other.
Some people asked me the secret of success, but I just laughed and said, 'Well, I just worked hard, but I was lucky to take the exam.......' I could only say.
Anyway, I live in an Internet novel and bounced out into a normal world, and the accident disappeared, so I can say that my grades went up on my own.......
But peaceful days didn't last long. I've been busy for a month because there are a lot of places to sing, so all college students' applications for a nightmare are just around the corner.
Of course, Eun Ji-ho and I talked about matching the timetable as much as possible since the lecture timetable came out.
But when I tried to match it, Eun Ji-ho was in 2nd grade, so it was time to take an essential major, and I was a freshman in the first grade who was bound to fill half of the timetable with culture.
Fortunately, I haven't heard 'critical thinking and logical writing', or 'visanon', which is a liberal arts that Eun Jiho must listen to before graduation.
Yeo-ryeong was heard of Eun-hyung, the owner last year, and Yoo Cheon-young didn't have that, so I thought only the two of us could listen to it. Well, I think it would have been fun to listen to it together.
But there was one problem.
Since 'critical thinking and logical writing' is an essential liberal arts, there were many students who wanted to listen, so two lectures were opened, and the tendency of the professors who took each lecture was very different.
Professor Han was a full lecture that filled every class without a break, and there were a lot of surprise questions, and the answer to the question was immediately led to the score, so he couldn't be vigilant even for a while, and above all, the team project that came out before the midterm exam was very hell. Instead, there are so many things left.
On the other hand, the other professor was famous for giving a fun and spacious lecture mixed with jokes, but above all, he said he didn't give me any assignments. Instead, when I came out of the lecture room after the final exam, I asked, 'What have I learned so far?' He said he only thought about it. In short, it meant that there was nothing left in my head.
Eun Ji-ho and I met at the cafe and I read the reviews of the school community with my laptop.
Then, when I suddenly saw a post, I patted Eun Ji-ho's arm.
"Oh, look at this, Eun Ji-ho. The second class, there's nothing left, so sometimes I want to skip it and go to 'Marinas' in front of the school."
Marinas was a common mid-to-low-day buffet with branches throughout Seoul.
"If you divide the tuition and calculate the average lecture fee, the price of one class is similar to the price of Marinas. So whenever I want to skip a class, I say, 'Do you want to do 1 Marina'?' I mean I do Wow, if there's nothing left."
I was laughing and suddenly realized that this was not something to laugh at. Because sometimes I want to go to the buffet with the money I forgot about class or not, it's enough if I'm comfortable with myself, but...... Eun Ji-ho is never that kind of person.
I looked at Eun Ji-ho's eyes. He asked me if he knew what I was thinking, and looked at the screen with serious eyes, and said, 'But even if I miss a lecture, I can't get a refund for the lecture fee.' I was making the same sound. No, no matter how much I haven't gone to college yet, I know that. more than that.......
I asked as I kept looking at his eyes.
"Eun Ji-ho, what do you want to do? Should I take a class that I can't have left even if it's hard, or should I take a class that is easy and comfortable, and I don't have any left? we."
"I'm fine with everything."
"No, there's nothing more attractive though. Don't say the same thing when you choose the restaurant menu."
Eun Ji-ho answered without blinking a blink of an eye.
"I'm saying it's okay because it's all okay. I've been going to school for the past year, so you know what's right for me and what's not right for me."
I hesitated to answer.
"That's it, but..."
"Do what is convenient for you."
I rolled my eyes anxiously, putting one hand on the laptop's keyboard.
Actually, I already knew which one Eun Ji-ho wanted. Eun Ji-ho, whom I know, is not a person who is willing to go to a class where there is nothing left to make yourself feel comfortable. Like other dramas, I hate wasting time.
it was then When I couldn't express my opinion, Eun Ji-ho said, putting his hand on the mouse instead of me.
"Then are you going to something easy and comfortable?"
"Oh, no, wait!"
I shouted without realizing it. It was so loud that the eyes in the cafe were focused.
While I closed my mouth without realizing it, Eun Ji-ho asked bewildered.
"Why? Isn't it better to be easy and comfortable than hard and hard?"
"By the way..."
It was strange to hear something like that from Eun Ji-ho. I was restless for a long time, so I finally made up my mind.
I said firmly.
"Let's take a lot of difficult and remaining classes."
"What? would you be OK
This time, Eun Ji-ho's facial expression became strange. I never imagined that I would make such a decision.
Of course, I was surprised even if I thought about it myself. But what should I do, the person who even tried to enter our department major to take a class with me...... I can't throw him out just because he doesn't want to take some difficult and hard classes. That's the liberal arts.
And, even when I was retaken, Eun Ji-ho took the car to the boarding academy every weekend to eat dinner...... I was somewhat responsible for the time when Eun Ji-ho threw it on the road when he was 20 years old.
I started to ask Eun Ji-ho if I was really okay this time with a chin and a happy smile.
Oh, no problem. I think other classes are easy and I think that class is a bit dead. I nodded my head.
And on the day of the long-awaited course registration, we both successfully applied for the course safely. In fact, difficult and difficult classes are very popular subjects, so even though they were liberal arts, there were still seats left.
I succeeded in studying the rest of my majors safely, so I started the course with a comfortable mind.
But if that alone makes college life peaceful, there won't be a hard college student in the world.
* * *
About a month after the start of the class, the world has been a new green of spring. There were flowers, flowers, and flowers all over the place, not just looking at the park or the promenade in front of the house.
Then, I mumbled as I saw the white flowers hanging heavily on the branches outside the window.
"The flower language of cherry blossoms is a midterm exam. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Jae-soo's academy is in the mountains, so if you turn your head anywhere, you can see the cherry blossoms blooming on the mountain. Considering that I was depressed watching the superb view around this time last year, this feeling is also like a luxury. No, but after experiencing it, it was not as easy as college studies thought...... I had a power in my hand holding a highlighter.
Who said you can play if you go to college? You have to report everything. But I can't remember because there are so many.......
At that time, the professor finally waited so long, 'This is the end of today's lecture.' The word came out. I hurriedly put a pencil case and a print in my bag and left the classroom.
Today is Thursday, this was just the first class. The timetable was vague, so I had to wait an hour and a half longer until the next class. In addition, Thursday was also the only day when the classes almost didn't overlap with anyone.
It's been a month since I entered the school today, but I haven't been to the library yet. Or...... At that time, my phone vibrated.
I looked into the screen.
[Hye-Hill♡♡ : When are you coming today?]
[Hlee Hill♡♡ : New menu whipped cream, jap, chocolate latte, waiting for]
[Hye-Hil♡♡ : (Photo)]
I was seduced again today.
'I'll go now.' After entering only four letters, I moved my pace to the back door.
When Kim Hye-hill was in her freshman year, she was living with the money she sent by her parents' house, but she has been working part-time at a cafe since this semester.
It's not that something special happened, I just wanted to try it once when I entered college, so I was on the bucket list. Looking at what I said, I thought I'd get hit soon.
As I opened the glass door and went in, a small cafe with only five tables appeared. There weren't many people who were two or three yet. When I came in the evening, the inside of this narrow cafe was crowded.
I said with a smile as I approached the counter.
"Please give me one that is waiting."
"You have to tell me the name of the menu properly, sir."
Having said that, Kim Hye-hill's hand was already on the screen. After sticking out my card and paying, I headed to the table with a vibrating bell.
Soon after, Kim Hye-Hill, who took off her apron, brought iced Americano and some plate in addition to the drink I paid for. I asked because I was embarrassed.
"The service is not a cookie today, is it?"
"The boss is here. I saw you and you come here often, so you want me to bring it to you."
"Wow."
When I looked at the counter, a tall woman smiled. I bowed my head and looked at the cake again and was excited and picked up the fork.
"I'll eat well."
"Eat a lot."
Kim Hye-Hill, who pushed the cheesecake towards me, swallowed the Americano.
Being able to hang out with Kim Hye-Hill like this was also a luxury that people could only enjoy when there were few people.
Fighting cheesecakes, I talked about how hard school life is these days. Actually, I'm talking about it all the time, but I did it again.
"There are too many assignments. The professors think we're only taking one of our own classes. There are three assignments this week as well."
"I think your department is exceptionally bad. Our department is different depending on the class, but..."
Kim Hye-hill said with her chin.
By the way, Kim Hye-hill was in the same business administration department as Eun Ji-ho.
Because she was aiming to be an accountant, she chose a department with many overlapping subjects to prepare for the Certified Public Accountant Examination (CPA).
I recalled for a moment when we ran into each other at the party. By the way, even when I was in the first year of high school, Kim Hye-hill didn't know what to do with me, but I suddenly decided my mind and decided the relevant department as it is and passed it.
Thanks to you, there were only three business administration departments at Hankook University around me.
I asked while cutting the cheesecake again.
"What do you take in class? Doesn't Eunjiho overlap? Because he's a company management at all. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"No? I have four classes with him this semester. Didn't you hear it?"
"Uh?"
I opened my eyes. You two have so many overlapping classes? why ?
she was talking
"I intentionally applied for financial management and accounting this semester. Anyway, my career path is also yours, and I learn all the subjects, so I don't have a team project even though I have a hard time to memorize."
"Uh yeah."
"Then, 'Wow, I'm in my sophomore, and there won't be anyone who makes a timetable like me.' I did, but when I went in, I saw that Eun Ji-ho is there. I really feel like we've been running into each other for almost a week."
Kim Hye-hill's expression on her face was not good.
Since I saw how Eun Ji-ho treated me in my third grade, her reputation for Eun Ji-ho has steadily bottomed out.
Even when I saw what he did to regain his memory, and how much he was most sincere he served me in my unlucky life. I just don't like it or something.
But I don't know if I should say anything, Kim Hye-hil, who looked at my attention, threw it.
"He, probably almost all of our department subjects have Timber, and then they lose free time, so they don't like it, so the timetable will be like that."
"Oh, yeah."
"It's still the second semester of the 1st grade, and there's a rumor that there's a crazy guy who heard 21 credits in his major, so I was talking about, and he saw it. And I'm sure it's because I got a grade of 4.5."
"Ah....... Does he live like that in his department?"
Why are you living like that? I decided not to say that. Looking at the flow now, it's clear that he was trying to go around with me when he was in the second grade.
I turned the topic on purpose. After talking about college, talking about high school friends, and all kinds of things, the topic came back to the origin.
Kim Hye-heel, who stirred coffee with a straw, mumbled.
"You guys have been friends for seven years, but it's still amazing. If you see that you don't fight too much. Originally, no matter how long you've been friends, it's very different from what you see when you're friends and what you see as a lover. Also, the size of expectations is different in the first place."
"Don't you and Lee Ji-han don't fight a lot?"
When I asked about her boyfriend, she nodded.
"That's it, well, we're basically...... 'What about these, what about these?'"
"Yeah?"
"If you leave Yoon Jung-in and Kim Hye-woo as middle school classmates and siblings, everyone will be like that."
I deeply sympathized with what she said, calmly sucking the drink.
"Ah."
"But I don't think you both have that kind of personality. Then the possibility of the remaining is that you are still noticing each other, or you're not comfortable enough...... I think it's something like that."
"Perhaps it's both. Even if we've been dating for a little over a year, we've actually been dating almost two months ago."
Until then, I've seen your face once every weekend. Kim Hye-hill nodded at my words.
"That's right."
"What more, what should I say, I've been matching each other as friends, so it's not uncomfortable to match each other... Rather, if I try to be pampered, I don't know what to do."
"That kind of..."
"And most of all, we both gave up to be by each other's side."
At the end, the voice was lowered by itself.
I thought about it while looking at the empty glass. Yes, to be with each other, I abandoned my life in the original world, and Eun Ji-ho abandoned himself in this world where the past changed.
Thanks to you, Eun Ji-ho's memory is mixed up before and after the past is changed. Fortunately, I don't think there's any problems yet, but.......
I held the glass with two hands and sighed lightly. Kim Hye-Hill, who was looking at me with the look of pity for me, asked.
"Are you worried? I'm afraid you won't be able to pay Eun Ji-ho as much as Eun Ji-ho gave up."
"To be honest, yes."
"What are you so worried about? Everyone has different standards for each other to do something that is worth it anyway. He gave up everything else because he thinks he's worth it on his own, and it's according to his standards anyway, so no matter how much you worry about it, you don't understand. It can't be understood. And will you pay back what you don't understand yourself? That's impossible. He should already know that."
"Yeah, it should be, but."
I couldn't answer anymore and bit my lip.
But even so, it was the same to be worried.
If Eun Ji-ho was always like a man standing on a solid ground called reason and achievements, I was close to the heavy rain that broke down everything he had built up so far. And when the heavy rain that finally wandered through him stopped, would he see what happened to his land and think this was really the result he wanted?
And when he realizes that he has come too far to go back, will he be able to reveal his intentions and leave me? Or can't I do that because of responsibility and guilt?
I couldn't know at all.
* * *
Eun Ji-ho was almost finished with class, so I left the cafe.
The next class was a 'visanon' class with Eun Ji-ho.
Haha, professor, I think you're asking three questions almost a day... I haven't received it for a month, so it's finally my turn this time. I want to skip class this time and go to the buffet in front of you instead. I stood in front of the management building with that kind of heart.
In the past, I was very afraid of encountering my brother, but I don't have any idea these days because I realized that this campus is wider than I thought when I haven't met before.
I was touching my smartphone for a while, and someone called me. When I raised my head, my classmates, Lee Ye-ji and Park Jun-seok, were standing right in front of me.
Yeji and Park Jun-seok both came back as a good night and were the same age as me.
It's not that my younger siblings don't do well, but they were of the same age and had a good feeling of reunion, so they became close quite quickly compared to the time they knew each other.
Yeji said with a smile.
"Dan! What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm waiting for a friend to go to class with. Because he is in the Department of Business Administration."
Yeji, who gave a short exclamation, said soon.
"Dan, if you look at it, I think you have a lot of friends in other departments. it's amazing Are you all dating in a club?"
"Oh, it's not that, I have a lot of high school classmates come to my school."
At that time, Park Jun-seok interrupted.
"Eh? it's kind of weird Didn't you come a lot even if only two people came from one high school at our school?"
"That's right."
Yeji also agreed.
Oh, it's a bit to bring up my unusual high school story here... I'm doing dry face, but Park Jun-seok, who was putting up with Yeji and other hypotheses, suddenly stopped talking and took a breath and opened his chest.
I and Yeji asked at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't tell me."
Park Jun-seok's voice saying that was hard. oh what I and Yeji asked over and over again, but only after a few seconds he returned his inflated body like Hercules back to its original state.
And Yeji and I burst into laughter at what he said.
"Oh, did you see it? A very pretty girl just passed by. That's why I held my breath to make abs to look good."
"Oh, that's funny. What kind of abs are that, it just gave the strength to the ship."
"That's right, then we'll hold our breath and have abs when our stomachs flatten?"
"No, there really is. You guys keep ignoring me, and I'm a man who works out even though I've seen you."
Me and Yeji laughed or not, Park Jun-seok continued to insist on the existence of his abs.
In the end, he even asked me to touch his stomach, so I was about to smile and take a few steps back, and someone lightly pressed my back. Looking back, it was Eun Ji-ho.
I greeted him when I looked up at him as if I was cutting my neck.
"Oh, Eun Ji-ho."
are you here Without answering what I asked, he stared at the front and asked.
"A motivation?"
"Oh, yeah."
"Hello."
Park Jun-seok, who quickly laid my wrist, said first. Then Ye-do shouted. hello ! With that fierce reaction, she must have known who Eun Ji-ho was.
Oh, if you don't explain this well here, it might be a big deal.
I thought, but there was no way to explain this problem very well in the first place. A Conversation Simulation With Yeji Went In My Head.
'Was Eun Ji-ho your high school classmate?'
'Yeah.'
'How did that happen?'
'He and I happened to enter the same school in the same year......? Aren't you Eun Ji-ho and a college classmate now?'
Well, I can't do it either. As I thought, Eun Ji-ho answered Ye Ji and Park Jun-seok. It was a courtesy business smile.
"Yes, hello."
"Uh. . . . .
Jun-seok and Yeji are about to exhale as if they are missing, and Eun Ji-ho turned to me.
"We're going to be late for class."
"Oh, that's true. Let's go quickly."
"Then I'll go."
Eun Ji-ho, who greeted Junseok and Yeji politely, took me away.
But then, I felt Eun Ji-ho's arm slightly wrapped around my shoulder. I wasn't going to do this in school, but are you in a hurry because you're afraid you'll be late? Or no way, I slapped the side where Park Jun-seok was.
Park Jun-seok and Ye Ji were still so excited that they were rolling their feet and talking to each other. It was a time when clarification was desperately needed.
And when I glanced at Eun Ji-ho's side face again, I thought.
No way, you're not jealous, are you?
The brigade brother, who seems to have nothing to do with those feelings, has been jealous, but the opponent was Yoo Cheon-young....... We once had special feelings for each other, and above all, we've known each other for a very long time.
well nothing
Soon after, Eun Ji-ho loosened his arm, so I walked side by side with him towards the building where the class was.
When I entered the classroom, there was some time left until the start of the class. Eun Ji-ho took the print out of the bag and put it on the desk and asked.
"Were you guys been with them during the class?"
"Uh? No, I ran into you while waiting. You said you were going to a cafe where Hye-hil works part-time. I took a picture of the new menu and sent it to you, but haven't you seen the message yet?"
"Ah....... I saw it."
He's not the one who forgets everything well, but the answer came back with a slightly stupid face.
I explained diligently on purpose.
"They were Yeji and Junseok. I talked a lot, didn't I? It was the same group at MT, but they were all reciquired students, so they got close quickly. We said that we didn't even tie the students together in a group on purpose."
"Uh, I heard."
"Yes, they. Since it's really started, the timetable doesn't overlap well, so I've seen it in 3 days today......."
Maybe it was embarrassing that he didn't even remember, so Eun Ji-ho suddenly turned the topic.
He asked with his jaw.
"Did you submit your club's assignment this week?"
"Oh, no! Anyway, I had something to say because of that......."
I'm about to answer with my eyes wide open, and the professor came in. We looked ahead in unison, making a promise to the next one.
I was expecting it, but in today's class, I got a question. But I was glad it didn't make me laugh at all. Well, if you pass this question somehow, there will be no questions for 4 weeks now.
After finishing the answer, Eun Ji-ho smiled a little when he saw me sigh of relief.
I thought the day would end smoothly today, but just before the class was over, the professor who glanced at his wristwatch suddenly said.
"Well, then today I'm going to do a team assignment as I said in class Otie. The team told you to decide in advance from the first week, right? Is everything set?"
Yes, while most people answered with a sign of embarrassment, there were also those who spoke urgently with the person sitting next to them.
"Then one person will organize the team list and bring it by next week, and the assignment plan is also posted on the website, so please fill it out and submit it by next week. I will decide the order of the presentation at the plan and decide arbitrarily, so you know that."
"Yes!"
"Then you did a good job."
The professor, who spoke in a chilly tone, went out of the classroom, and I immediately looked back at Eun Ji-ho and said.
"Wow, what should I do. I completely forgot that this subject, Timf, would come out soon. You're in big trouble."
"This place is hectic, so let's go out and talk first."
"Yes."
We hurriedly packed our bags and left the classroom where people started to come in.
* * *
"Oh, that's right. What I was going to say earlier."
After class, Eun Ji-ho and I purposely came out a little away from the school and ate.
When I said something without eating, Eun Ji-ho raised his head.
"Yeah?"
"I'm talking about the club assignment that came out this week."
As soon as I entered the school, I was taken to Ban Yeo-ryeong and the Four Heavenly Kings to join, 'Point', which was an active photography club even though he was an amateur.
I used to have a meeting in the club room once a week, but it wasn't mandatory to participate unless there was an important announcement, and the assignment came out once every two weeks.
This assignment was to take a picture with the theme of 'love', but the pictures I thought as soon as I heard the topic were all included in the bad examples that the club president showed me right after. It was such a sad thing.
I took a deep dip of the bread with a fork and asked again.
"You haven't submitted it yet, have you?"
"Yes."
Eun Ji-ho studied theory no matter what he did because of his perfectionist temper, so the results were generally good, but he was unusually weak on abstract topics.
I asked again with a smile.
"Then why don't we go to Ttukseom Amusement Park with our camera? There are a lot of flowers blooming, and it's a change of mood. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Actually, I couldn't restless to say 'Let's go see the flowers' since the cherry blossoms bloomed, but I couldn't do that because Eun Ji-ho looked too busy.
Even if the university class itself is spacious, you have to go to the meeting place, you have to do what your father told you to do or study separately, and you're a college student, so I almost felt like I was dating an office worker.
But wouldn't this be a pretty good excuse? I saw Eun Ji-ho with my eyes shining brightly. Do photo assignments, go on dates, eat pheasants, eat eggs, isn't this a stone and a stone? With a lot of such a meaning.
Eun Ji-ho accepted it surprisingly easily. If this is the case, it might have been better to say honestly that we should go see the flowers just like everyone else does. At the time I was thinking, Eun Ji-ho suddenly said.
"Oh, by the way."
"Yeah?"
"If you're going to see flowers, wouldn't it be better to go a little far by car?"
Eun Ji-ho looked for something on his smartphone and said.
"It is said that there is a high chance of sudden rain because the atmosphere is unstable these days, and there are many people in the amusement park on Ttukseom. If you're going to see the flowers for a while, there's a good drive course near your house."
This time he turned on the Maps app and showed it to me.
"Because your house is Gapyeong...... There is a neighborhood near there that is famous for cherry blossoms, Yangsuri and Munhori. If you take the road down the Bukhan River, you will only continue to the cherry blossom road for about 10 minutes. I think it will be soon if you get on the soup at your house."
"Oh, yeah."
Actually, I didn't really like to travel by car when I met Eun Ji-ho. At least Gyeonggi-do has a wide parking lot, so there's no problem, but it's because if you go to a restaurant in Seoul, Eunjiho always has to drive far away. It's cold in winter, so I'm told to go in first, but it was so awkward and I couldn't help but feel sorry.
Maybe I knew my expression was weird, Eun Ji-ho blurred the end of the horse.
"Or you can do what you say...... I just think it's okay to see the cherry blossoms for a short time here and take pictures somewhere else because this is near your house anyway. If there are a lot of people, it's hard to take pictures."
"Oh, I see. I didn't think of that."
I said it slodgedly Then there was silence on the table we sat on for a moment.
I thought as I sighed inside. sorry Hyehill I said I'm doing well, I guess it wasn't true. Maybe so.......
There are moments when we have to be awkward even though we are sure of each other's hearts, and moments when we lose words. Whether it's really because we like each other so much, or maybe it's actually not as close as it looks.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho suddenly smiled and said.
"Actually, I can submit the assignment right away if you give me permission."
"What?"
I blinked at the sudden words and pushed his shoulder with a small smile at his words.
"You can take a picture of yourself."
"Oh, really."
I laughed and spoke.
"You can't even take a picture of your boyfriend's girlfriend. The president said at that time, someone did that last year and was called a warrior in the club all year."
"Then let's just do that. You know I don't have a aptitude in my analogy."
"You did the second place in the country the whole time? I think it all went out of the poetry area."
I said that, but my chest tickled pleasantly. As long as I heard a strange thing that I couldn't think of anything other than me to compare 'love', I couldn't help it.
For a moment, too, I read the meaning of his words sensitively.
I mumbled inside. oh what should I do I guess he really wants to talk.
As Eun Ji-ho said earlier, we were still keeping it a secret from college people that we were dating.
It wasn't because of the anxiety that the world might suddenly change again like I did in high school, it was simply my adaptability problem.
I lived as a common re-required student who didn't get attention at all, and then I couldn't get used to it when I tried to go back to the side of the Four Great Heavenly Kings and Ban Yeo-ryeong.
Above all, in the name of focusing on studying at a talented academy, I only dated a few people including Kim Hye-woo and didn't go out to the downtown area, so it seemed that the new unfamiliarity that I didn't know became very bad.
It has become a road Amitabha that I've been traveling with celebrities for the past six years and adapted to it. Even if I looked at it a little bit, I was going crazy because I was groping and sweating.
Beyond the fact that the four great kings and Ban Yeo-ryeong are simply acquaintances, is it known to be in a relationship with Eun Ji-ho? At that time, I got too much attention, so I might faint on the spot. I'm not kidding, really.
I laughed bitterly, and when I heard Eun Ji-ho's voice, I raised my head again.
"Yeah? what ?
A little while ago, the mood was pretty good due to Eun Ji-ho's words, so I could smile and ask.
But my smile soon disappeared.
"The assignment that came out this time, not the photo club, but the Visannon Timber. I'll just do it by myself."
"What?"
What the hell are you talking about? I didn't even know that my face hardened, and Eun Ji-ho picked up food and talked.
"You're busy these days. I heard that there are three assignments this week. Besides, if you want to hang out on the weekend, you have to do it all the rest of the day, so it will be harder. So I'll just do it. Because I mainly listen to classes without assignments this semester anyway."
"No, wait..."
I spoke in a hardened voice. Only then did Eun Ji-ho look up and look at me.
I frowned and spoke.
"But we should do it together. I don't know if it's done by five people, but it's only done by two people."
Taking a bus from Timber has already been experienced in other liberal arts. As soon as Timber came out, a senior in high school said, 'I have to get some credits this semester, so I'll just do it all. You only write your name.' that's what you said All of our group applauded his ambitious remarks.
But this is a different case, I frowned. It was five people, but it was only two people, and besides, he had no relationship with me.
Eun Ji-ho didn't know I was going to react like this, so he seemed a little embarrassed.
he said
"No, that's the way...... I would have tried to do it alone even if I was with someone else anyway."
"I heard about it, so I know. But you're my boyfriend. It's okay to study together or show your handwriting, but I don't like this."
"Ah...... But I really can do it alone."
I was pissed off this time when Eun Ji-ho said that he was embarrassed by swiping his hair with one hand.
I managed to swallow the words that almost popped out of my mouth.
Are you really trying to save my time, or are you thinking that I won't be able to keep up?
I knew Eun Ji-ho didn't have any bad intentions, but I hated myself thinking like this. However, I already know how my ability will shine on him.......
I shut my lips tightly. Then Eun Ji-ho couldn't talk anymore and only touched his hair with a difficult sign.
In the end, our meal ended up in an awkward state.
* * *
I needed time to organize my thoughts, so I said I would take a bus today, but Eun Ji-ho had to take his car and grabbed me.
I think it would seem too angry to say no here, I don't think I'm going to be so angry, so I just calmly got his car and got home.
I greeted my mom and dad in the living room and came into the room, so I just put down my bag and lay down on the bed.
I succeeded in my success and passed a Korean university, but the scenery of the room still hasn't changed, so when I look at the ceiling, I sometimes feel like time has gone back.
Oh my god, it's not the time for this. As Eun Ji-ho said, if you want to go see the flowers on the weekend, you have to finish three assignments by tomorrow.
I didn't have to wash my face quickly, don't sit on the chair, and quietly took out my phone.
Maybe Eun Ji-ho hasn't arrived home yet, so his phone is quiet.
I hesitated and entered the letters.
[Hamdan: Jiho, I'm talking about what we were talking about earlier.......]
When I got a reply in the middle while talking, I often answered it and then leaked on a different way, so I decided to send it all at once.
I finished writing
[Hamdan: Jiho, what we were talking about earlier... I know you're really trying to help me because you know I don't have time. But we both took that class to learn, and besides, I asked to take it first. But if you suddenly say you're going to do Timber alone without consulting with me, I wonder what to do and I'm so pissed off.......]
No, we almost used it like when we didn't have any relationship. I hurriedly came to my senses and erased the last sentence, so I rewrote it.
[Hamdan: But if you suddenly say you're going to do Timber by yourself without consulting with me, I honestly think about this and that and I'm very upset.]
Well, I think I'm a little better now.
After careful consideration, I wrote down the rest of the sentences.
[Hamdan: Actually, whenever you usually try to help me that way, there are moments when I get a little sad even though I know you do it with a good heart. I know you do it with a good heart now, but sometimes I'm worried that I won't know it. So I hope we can talk about this well.]
After rereading the long message for a long time, I finally sent it as I made a decision.
As I looked down at the screen with a white head, I was surprised when the number 1 next to the message disappeared right away.
What should I do, he must have been holding his phone as soon as he got home. Wasn't he actually writing something in a long way like me?
With 1 second flowing like 1 minute, I waited for about 3 minutes, but I didn't get a reply.
Oh, I think it will take some time. I put my phone down in the corner of my desk and opened my laptop to do my assignment first.
And 5 minutes again.
"Oh, I can't concentrate at all..."
I wrapped my head with two hands in front of an empty screen, like an anguish writer who couldn't write.
I was so worried about the existence of the phone in the corner of the desk, so I was crazy. It was thanks to the opposite sex that I didn't turn on the conversation window because I turned on my phone earlier. I think even that will be cut off soon.
Oh, is it right that I made my phone vibrate? Actually, wouldn't it be silent? When I see that there's no sound like this. No, but the screen is still black, too? In the end, I couldn't stand it, so I turned the screen upside down altogether.
And after waiting for 10 minutes, the vibration finally rang. I reached out my hand that was stopped on the keyboard and snatched my phone like a hawk.
My mouth a little bit when I checked the screen.
"Oh, what."
[Eun Ji-ho: Sorry. I actually knew you heard it because of me even though you didn't want to take the professor's class. That's why I didn't have to do it because of me, so you gave in to me once at that time, so I thought I'd give in this time. It's not like I never need your help, or I can do it all by myself. As you said, you look so busy that there are things I tried to do as much as possible.]
I don't know if there's anything missing, and it didn't take long before my phone rang again.
[Eun Ji-ho: You can't meet me because you don't have time.]
Oh, really...... I'm glad Eun Ji-ho isn't in front of me right now.
I was touching the corner of my mouth that had gone up a lot, and the message arrived again.
[Eun Ji-ho: I didn't know you were thinking like that. When we were in high school, we had various incidents, so we helped each other a lot. So I think I did it habitually without thinking about it. I'll ask you first if there's anything I want to help you with in the future. So if you get caught, tell me right away.]
"It's a hundred-point answer that makes people feel better. Oh my god, someone has to hire him. It's like a counseling center......."
But then I can't be the only one who can get this message, so I shouldn't do that. I was laughing, and I finally picked up my smartphone and entered a message.
[Hamdan: Yup haha I'm sorry too]
[Hamdan: It's not a big deal, but I thought you might be very surprised because you sent it in a long door. I thought a lot after sending it]
I said, 'Do you want to call?' I'm about to type, but the message came back before that.
[Eun Ji-ho: Can I call you?]
I pressed the call button without hesitation. I heard Eun Ji-ho's voice before coloring.
[Did you go in well? What have you been doing so far.]
I saw me entering the house in front of me, but at his meticulousness of asking like that, I laughed and replied, 'I went in well.' And I answered by looking at the laptop with the screen saver on.
"Well, I was doing my assignment. As you said, if we want to go to see the flowers, we have to finish it all quickly."
[And just turn on your laptop and wait for my reply?]
"Ugh. You really, you know me so well."
Eun Ji-ho laughed a little over my phone at my grumbling.
And he said again.
[Hamdan, it's not going to be difficult to send it in a long way like this. When we talk to each other in a sensitive state, we leak to a different way, and then we've already fought several times.]
The title between him and me went back and forth between the one that gave the last name and the one that separated. I usually used to call it by a surname when I was teasing or joking, but the ratio was still about half and half.
I answered, feeling my cheeks burning.
"Oh, yeah. that's right."
Actually, I didn't tell Hyehill, but Eun Ji-ho and I had a fight a few times at the beginning of the semester. It was because of the M.T and the get-together, respectively.
Eun Ji-ho was talking.
[So if you're sad next time, just tell me right away. If you don't, I can't concentrate on what I have to do and just look into my phone.]
"Yeah, I will. thank you ."
And I suddenly got a joke and asked with a smile.
"But you have a lot of things to do today, but you haven't done it yet?"
[I also came home and then I kept sitting on the couch and just looking at my phone. I'm glad you're living with me now, otherwise I would have been caught by my father and scolded me a lot.]
Eun Ji-ho has been out of his home since entering college and has been living in an officetel in front of a Korean university.
Chairman Eun Han-soo's intention is to save the time to go to school because it's gold, but Eun Ji-ho picked me up and took me every day, so he didn't achieve any results.
oh really I should tell you to quit this too. But honestly, I like it too, so I can't tell you to stop.......
I asked
"Do you have a lot of work to do?"
[Yeah, I'm dying.]
Eun Ji-ho cried as a joke. When I didn't say anything, he added a few words.
[But I'll do it while thinking about going to hang out on the weekend. If it wasn't for that, I'd be there.]
it was then I said, with my elbows on the desk and my forehead on my arm.
"Eun Ji-ho, I mean that. We decided to go see the flowers."
[Oh, I was just about to tell you, too.]
And at his words, I opened my eyes.
[We just want to go to the Ttukseom amusement park as you said?]
"Uh?"
[It feels very different from seeing cherry blossoms in the car and walking in person. What you want to do is walk slowly through the cherry blossoms and look around, right?]
"Uh. . . . .
That's true, but in general, that's what you imagine when you go to see the flowers.
And also, there are other reasons why I don't want to see cherry blossoms in the car........
When I answered nervously, Eun Ji-ho said again.
[Then let's just go there. You can go by car anytime in April, even if you don't have to catch me separately, and you can take pictures. It's not that you can't take pictures just because there are a lot of people, and there's no disadvantage even if you don't pay. is it right ]
yes yes .
I have agreed with Eun Ji-ho, who exactly penetrates my intentions.
'Then do that.' After the words were heard, a soft silence came for a moment.
In time, I opened my mouth.
"Hey, Eun Ji-ho."
[Why?]
"We decided to tell the people of college that we're dating someday..."
In the photography club, I went to MT once every semester.
It wasn't much different from other clubs, but it was a little different that there was time to look at and evaluate all the photos taken during the day, so it was a kind of photo shoot.
I said
"Do you want to talk about our dating this time at MT?"
There was silence for a moment.
In time, Eun Ji-ho answered.
It was a voice full of laughter that I could tell just by listening to it.
[Okay.]
"Okay."
I said it again as if I were swearing. Once again, my chest tickled, like I planted a seed that was about to bloom on one side of my chest.
Looking at the clock, it was time to really hang up the phone and focus on the assignment.
Then I said let's hang up, I said just before the phone was cut off.
"Jiho, I love you."
It was the first time I told him that I loved him. I once said I like it, but it's a lot after that, so I honestly don't want to think about it again.
Maybe I didn't even know it was traumatic. Knowing that, Eun Ji-ho didn't ask me for an answer even though he said he loved him every day.
It felt like I took out my softest and softest part and handed it to him.
It was sweet and daunting to have such a reliable opponent, but on the other hand, I felt like I had put myself on the test. The feeling of performing that you are doing something stupid in the world.
When I closed my eyes to the constant silence, the answer finally came back.
[I love you too, Dan-ah.]
"Yes."
Slowly holding my breath, I hung up the phone.
If I had done this much, I could sleep comfortably today.
But maybe I couldn't sleep at all.
* * *
On the long-awaited Saturday, I woke up like dawn and headed to the kitchen. This was all to pack a lunch box for Eun Ji-ho and me to eat when I was looking at the flowers.
There are a lot of lunch boxes for sale, and you can go to any convenience store and buy them, but I didn't want to do that. It was because I had a kind of dream to see my lover eat the dish deliciously. For that reason, Eun Ji-ho refused to ask the person who helped with the housework.
When I say I'm going to pack the lunch box myself, my mom said with a trembling face, 'Are you? Do you have to......?' said
Eun Ji-ho and I don't know that I are dating, thought she was going out with her friends, and she said, 'Isn't there anyone who is good at cooking among your friends?' I asked again. Eun hyung is also good at it, why.
I ignored those words, so I put the lunch box ingredients together in the shopping cart. Not to mention that my mother's expression when she saw the ingredients I put in became more subtle.
No, what, isn't it okay? If you eat fried chicken with egg sandwiches, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken
I've deliberately selected easy menus, but wouldn't I be able to do this?
And just an hour later, I started to regret it. No, I woke up two hours earlier than usual to pack a lunch box, but what are two hours? The only thing I've done now is boiling eggs and fried chicken....... When do you make the sandwich? You'll have fried tofu sushi soon, right? You'll get the salad ingredients done quickly, right? He, you can do it soon, right?
And after about an hour, I boldly threw away the Cramie salad. I also threw away cucumbers. I was more scared of cucumbers than paprika. I think I'm going to cut my hands while I cut it in a hurry.
Jiho, I love you. So just eat what you give. These are the special tasteless foods that only you can eat in the world. Anyway, it's all because I love you....... I was surprised to see the clock when I turned around with such unscrupulous thoughts and put the food in a three-tiered cup.
"Wak, get ready from now on and get out on time! I couldn't even choose the clothes yesterday, so I tried it on again and decided, but it was ruined."
"Dah, be quiet!"
In the main room, my mom got angry. I quickly apologized and hurried into the bathroom.
Is it weird to wear a flower pattern dress while going to see the flowers? No, wouldn't it be okay to wear a blue jacket? Shall we just wear a long knit dress and wear a beret? Oh, come to think of it, it would be better to wear pants to sit in a mat! No, but you can take off your jacket and cover it on your knees, right? Then you don't have to wear pants, do you? Also, I often wear pants to school.......
After a long time, after much deliberation, I hurriedly ran out of the house with a flower patterned dress and a blue jacket.
On the day we were supposed to meet, Eun Ji-ho would always pick me up (even on the day we didn't actually meet), but it wasn't as much as today.
Eun Ji-ho said he would take the subway for today. Wouldn't it be troublesome to go back to the place where the car is after taking a walk as you want.
I don't know if I know if I don't know if he doesn't like bringing the car, but I was excited and said I would do it.
But I was excitedly waiting for the bus, and I mumbled when I searched for today's weather with my smartphone. oh.......
"Why don't you have a good feeling."
I checked the weather all the weather on the bus that was rattling and running down the hill.
Eun Ji-ho also mentioned that due to the unstable atmosphere, it is intermittently pouring down all over Seoul. However, the sky kept being sunny, so I couldn't tell when it would rain.
Please, I hope you don't have anything suitable for the flowers...... I prayed in my heart.
I arrived at the station by bus and tried to change to the subway, but the floor of the station was flooded with water.
Oh, I guess this is one of the places where it rained intermittently. As if he had actually failed to escape the Passion, people who combed wet hair with their hands or put on their clothes were seen everywhere.
But I'm glad you avoided it narrowly. I thought so and hurried down the stairs.
Then, someone protruding from behind hurriedly passed by and pushed my shoulder hard.
If the ground was dry, it wouldn't have happened, but my feet slipped because there was water.
I slipped two or three steps and fell down, so I hit my butt and moaned.
"Oya."
I made a crying wound when I sang the throbbing tailbone. But I'm glad I fell down when I was almost down the stairs. If it wasn't for it, I might have rolled at all.
People passing by were surprised and said, 'Are you okay?' and asked
I hurriedly answered.
"Oh, yes. it's okay."
I mumbled because I woke up hard again. My hip bone is throbbing, but...... From the experience of getting hurt, I think it was just a bruise on the skating rink. There was no problem with walking in practice.
Then I saw my chanthap that fell a little far away and said, 'Oh!' I screamed. The problem was that I didn't have a bag to put in, so I was holding it in my hand.
I hurriedly picked up the cup of praise and looked around and over and over, and I cried.
"What should I do."
It didn't look good even before I put it in the cold hap, but I even rolled it.......
Like opening a box with something terrible in it, I groaned when I closed one eye and slightly opened the lid of the cup.
"Ah."
Chanhap's inside was like I stopped by the amusement park for a while on my way here and got on the Blue Dragon Train.
Oh, I can't. This is irreversible. Let's just ask Eun Ji-ho to buy lunch...... When I came to the conclusion, I headed to the boarding gate without any effort.
It was said that it wasn't much food for people to eat, but of course I didn't feel good because what I did got up like dawn and got in vain.
I want to argue with the person who hit me earlier, but I can't even see it because it disappeared earlier.......
By the way, I don't think I've ever thought about holding on to someone even if something like this happens, but people get sharper so easily. While thinking about that, I arrived at the station where I was supposed to meet Eun Ji-ho.
"What's wrong with your expression?"
Eun Ji-ho, who was waiting in front of the ticket gate, asked as soon as he saw me. I approached him with tears in my mind.
"I fell down on my way."
"What? are you OK ?
He said again, holding my arms in a hurry and looking back and forth.
"Go to the hospital and contact me or call me."
"It's not enough to go to the hospital. No, I just need to go down one or two more stairs, but the person who pops out from behind is just pushing me. So I slipped and hit my butt. Anyway, I'm glad I'm not very sick......."
Despite my words that it doesn't hurt much, Eun Ji-ho's expression became even more serious. 'Who pushed it?' He was mumbling like he was talking to himself, and I held out a condg of conve.
"No, more than that...... It's not important that I've fallen now."
"If that's not important, what..."
Eun Ji-ho, who seemed to be a little angry, changed his expression later. He looked down at the chanhap barrel and said.
"Oh, no way..."
I answered with a miserable face.
"Yes, I rolled. It's not me, it's Chanhap Tong."
"Ah. . . . .
"I think we should buy it outside for lunch..."
Eun Ji-ho, who had hardened for a while, wrapped my shoulder with one arm.
he said softly
"No, it doesn't matter if you buy it outside..."
He answered as if he didn't know what to say.
"I made it hard, but it's like this, so I'm going to be very upset."
"Yes."
It was a blunt tone, but I was really upset, so I answered without hesitation.
No, but when I think about it again, I think it was fortunate that Eun Ji-ho couldn't know the taste of this lunch box for the rest of his life.
To be honest, I tried it while making it, but I didn't feel the difference from buying it at a convenience store, right? Wasn't he like a guardian spirit that protects Eun Ji-ho's taste?
Suddenly, when my accident turned a ridiculous positive circuit, Eun Ji-ho, who took his hand off my cheek, said again.
"Let's eat something delicious, we."
"Yes."
It's been a long time since I've been so openly upset, and he didn't seem to be able to figure out what to do.
He added that he took my hand and looked back at me instead of going down the stairs.
"Not anything tastes better than your lunch box."
'No matter what you eat, it won't be more delicious than your lunch box.' It was a detour expression in Eun Ji-ho.
Then I replied with a big smile.
"Haha, then we have almost nothing to eat."
But when we went out of the exit and didn't even walk for just a few minutes, a sudden shot of rain slapped us on our heads.
While the people around me were scattering around with their jackets or bags covering their heads, I forgot to get wet for a while and looked up at the sky.
I mumbled while watching the rain pouring down in the dry sky. Oh, I don't have a good feeling.
* * *
There's nothing we can do right now, so we hurried back to the station. In addition, the nearest convenience store where you can buy an umbrella was in the station.
I took off the blue jacket I was wearing and checked the wetness.
Well, if you wear it like this, it will smell, so I think you should dry it in a dry room.
I looked back at Eunjiho again and asked.
"Where are we going now?"
"Well, I know."
Eun Ji-ho also answered, sweeping through his wet hair. I thought about it during the sports day, but it was amazing that he was a picture even like that.
I realized late as I was staring at him without realizing it. oh that's right my make up
I turned on my phone mirror, looked at my face, and when I checked that my makeup didn't spread, I just put my phone down again.
And I, with my hands on my lap, I suddenly said.
"Well, I'm sorry..."
"Why all of a sudden?"
Eun Ji-ho had a face that couldn't guess the reason at all. He even said, 'Do you think I look so angry because you fell?' and even asked.
No, it was a bit like that, apart from that. I answered sullenly.
"I told you to walk in person instead of taking a car... If I had a car, I wouldn't have had rained, and it would have been much easier to change my plan."
"Oh, what else am I saying. Don't mind that."
Eun Ji-ho said with a softened face.
"We decided because we talked together. But if I act like I'm only one-sidedly responsible for you, I feel uncomfortable."
You know it because you went through it yesterday. I replied grinfully to what he added.
"Yes."
Eun Ji-ho said again.
"I haven't seen you on the weekend after a long time, so let's not spend time feeling sorry for each other. It's better to play comfortably than that. I'm going to be upset because I already fell down with the lunch box."
"Yeah. . . . .
"Then where do you want to go?"
At Eun Ji-ho's words, I began to think about it.
Well, first of all, the plan to eat a lunch box has been canceled, so there should be a lot of restaurants, and if it suddenly rains, it should be a place where you can play indoors....... But before that, I wish I could dry some wet clothes somewhere.
I think we can just put it on the chair, shall we go to a cafe first? No, but the cafe is really a place I go to every day.......
Then, when I made eye contact with Eun Ji-ho, I suddenly shouted. Ah!
"Eun Ji-ho, do you want to go to our school?"
I asked Eun Ji-ho as if it was an unexpected answer at all.
"In front of the school?"
"Yes! We've never eaten in front of school because we were afraid of encountering school people. The list of good restaurants keeps piling up."
"Oh, I see."
Eun Ji-ho nodded her head.
"I've never been to a famous restaurant in front of school."
"That's right!"
I said it again with a big smile.
"And there's your officetel in front of the school. So I'll stop by the officetel for a while and dry your clothes, and if you don't feel wet clothes, change your clothes and go out again. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I was excited and stopped as I was. My head was empty for a moment. no wait
I've already been to Eun Ji-ho's house several times. It's not because it didn't mean anything special, but like those who live alone in front of the school, Eun Jiho's house couldn't avoid being made into an ajit.
Eun Jiho's house is an officetel, but in reality, it consists of two rooms and one living room, so there was no difficulty in living.
As a result, I, Ban Yeo-ryeong, and the other four great kings often drank at his house and slept together, but Eun Ji-ho dragged Jooin stuck to the floor of the living room into the room and said, 'What kind of sin have I committed in my previous life.......' I've only seen you mumbling a few times.
When that happens, I and Ban Yeo-ryeong sit on the sofa and say, 'You must have saved the country! So we must have a friend like us!' I was scolded for saying that even you couldn't take care of it.
I've played a lot of people like that a while, and I've played a lot, but I've never seen two alone...... I touched my head under my ears.
I'm a little scared that the atmosphere will flow like that, and I'm worried... To be honest, it's not that I've never felt like that.
But suddenly like this...... I glanced at Eun Ji-ho's eyes.
His expression had been hardened since I brought up the story of going to his house.
Then suddenly, when he made eye contact with me, he raised the corner of one of his mouth and smiled and said.
"Do you just regret that?"
It was an amazingly carefree voice. I groped and said
"Oh, yeah?"
"Let's go to a meal and go to a cafe. There are a few cafes where you said you liked it in front of the school. It's the weekend and it's raining, so there won't be many people at school."
I nodded blankly at the plan that was flowing out as if I had set it in advance.
And I murmured as I bowed my head belatedly. But actually, I don't really regret it. really.......
But will there be a chance for me to talk to Eun Ji-ho again? No, even if there is a chance to do that, how will Eun Ji-ho react when I say something like this?
Caught in that thought, I grabbed Eun Ji-ho's hand, who came next to me, and just moved my steps without saying a word.
I ate lunch at a Gyeongyang restaurant with low ceilings and tilted like an attic.
The floor, walls, window sills and interior decoration were all made of wood and all tables were covered with yellow checkered tablecloths. On top of it, there were a small flower stuck in a glass bottle, as if it had just been broken from the backyard.
It's a restaurant with a small atmosphere, and there are actually only about five tables, so I always had to stand in line for 30 minutes to eat at lunchtime.
It was the weekend and it rained, so I was looking forward to it, but there was no one. It was also because we passed the lunch time while we met at another station and delayed the time.
When I saw the pork cut at the end of a short wait, I burst into clamation. Wow, it's really big. If this is enough, it would have been okay if we order one for two.
Eun Ji-ho looked at the plate and asked.
"Do you want me to slice it?"
Most of the people around me knew that I was not only dexterous in art but also in this kind of thing.
Normally, I would have taken it and sliced it without saying anything, but what's wrong? I was thinking about it for a while, and I soon realized. Oh, it's because of yesterday's conversation.
I said with a real smile.
"Yes, cut it for me."
"Thank you."
I asked me puzzledly when Eun Ji-ho took my plate.
"Why thank you?"
"When I see you use it sometimes, I was worried that I would slip on a fork or knife and get stuck somewhere. Thank you for not letting me worry about that."
"Oh, what."
I made an impression and patted his arm. Of course, I was careful not to get a shock in my hand with a knife.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho's food also came out. Once I received the plate on my side, I waited for him to cut it all and exchanged it.
I suddenly said that I was easily eating sliced pork cut pork cut with a fork.
"By the way, I saw such an article on the Internet before. It doesn't look decent to slice pork cutlet or steak all at once."
"Is that so?"
Eun Ji-ho asked insignificantly. no what I looked down at my plate. Even now, when I see that he sliced it like this to eat, he doesn't seem to care about that.
I was just curious about cutting everything for me and cutting it little by little. Of course, it's undeniable that he looks very elegant. I think it would have looked like that even if I sliced it all and ate it.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho said.
"Perhaps that perspective comes from British or European meal etiquette."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes. That's right, but isn't it more classy to point out the way others eat based on the food culture of other countries? It's my personal preference to do this."
I don't understand why you're doing that.
I laughed lightly when I heard that. Eun Ji-ho looked at me with suspicion.
"Why?"
"No."
I just realized more about myself that I care about the environment, even though I don't care about the environment.
I grinned and put the right sliced pork cut into my mouth.
I heard it's one of the most famous restaurants in front of the school, and it's really delicious. Next time, I'll come again on a weekday when the class is wide open. It's too narrow for all the kids to come together, who are you coming with? Yeo-ryeong? Hye-Hill and Kim Hye-woo?
As I was thinking about it and chatting like that, the plate was empty. Looking out the window, it was still raining heavily.
I said
"I think we should decide where to go first and go out. Where shall we go?"
"Well, is there anywhere you want to go? I don't know much about this neighborhood."
"Oh, really? why ? You went to this school for a year longer than me."
I was bewildered, and I soon realized. oh no I did something crazy about taking 21 credits in my major last semester, but there's no way I've had time to drink coffee or drink leisurely in front of the school.
My complexion changed blue when I thought of Kim Hye-Hill's words. And even though it's 4.5 credits, isn't it crazy even though he's my boyfriend?
I have no idea, and Eun Ji-ho, who was smating his chin, answered.
"Well, that's true. I don't eat snacks much anyway. It's not even your taste in the first place."
"Ah."
Well, Eun Ji-ho's taste was so mature. You can drink coffee in Americano or espresso, and red ginseng without water.
he said again
"I only know a few places that are spacious and bright, but aren't that a good place? There are too many people, and it's noisy."
I thought I would know the purpose of the cafe he was talking about. You must have gone to Timf, well. If I had to take a subject without a team member this semester, I had no choice but to do that.......
I was thinking for a while, 'Hmm, rather, is it better not to be found in such a place?' I hit Eun Ji-ho's hand, which was mumbling. He looked back at me again.
"Why?"
"I thought of it, a place we've never been and stand out."
"Where?"
I said with a smile
"Would you like to go to our room cafe?"
Eun Ji-ho's expression is dumb. In the meantime, I diligently explained the advantages of the room cafe in front of him.
The space is separate from each other, so it's not noticeable, it's easy to talk, if you want to sing, you can sing, if you want to watch a movie, you can watch a movie, and you can play board games, so isn't it three birds with one stone.
Above all, there was no room cafe near the school where I could fit all of me, Ban Yeo-ryeong, and the Four Great Heaven King, so I've never been there since college. If you're going with friends, karaoke or just a cafe would be much better.
I said it again
"The room cafe I saw while I was passing by is equipped with all the game consoles. Even if you have everything else in your house, you don't have the latest computers and game consoles, right? Don't you think it would be fun to play tennis or racing games?"
Eun Ji-ho, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally nodded. Somehow his expression was dark. Is there anything that bothers you? I snooped my head and took an umbrella and left the restaurant.
I said, taking the umbrella into the other hand and holding his hand.
"If you don't want, do you want to go to Seocho or Gyeongbokgung Palace? There are ginseng tea and jujube tea in every cafe there."
"It's done."
"There was also Bokbok molecule juice."
"If you keep making fun of me, I get scolded, really."
"Oh, hehe."
After dating, I laughed at his harsh tone that I heard after a long time. Instead, I suddenly folded my umbrella and crossed his arms.
Did you get a little loose? I looked up at him. He said, 'You're in the rain because the umbrella is narrow.' Even though I said that, I tilted the umbrella towards me a little.
My chest tickled as if someone was shaking a feather through a bar, so I laughed again. It was like Eun Ji-ho sighed a little when he saw me like that.
* * *
"Two people."
While Eunjiho was calculating the prepaid fare at the counter, I struggled as I watched the board game.
In the promotional article, the whole closet was called a board game, but more than half of the closets were empty because of the rain.
Hmm, there are only two people in Halli Galli, so it won't be fun, and Eun Ji-ho can't hit my hand, so I'll lose it every time.
Oh, there's a Lumi Cube, that sounds fun. I think Jenga will be fine too....... I don't want to do Burumabl because I'm going to fight with it sincerely, I think the mystery game is going to be bad on my side.
Eun Ji-ho, who finished the calculation, approached me and asked.
"Did you choose it?"
"Yeah? No, I think Rumicube or Jenga would be fine, but I don't think I'll do anything to talk when I get in."
"Then let's just leave other people to use it and go in."
"Is that so? But what if everyone else doesn't take it when it comes out later?"
"You can do something else then. I heard there are a lot of games or other things to do anyway, you."
oh yeah Uncomprehensible, I left the board games alone and turned my back. When I went to the assigned room, I was embarrassed because the size of the room was smaller than I thought.
Eun Ji-ho took off his jacket and hung it on the hanger. He naturally reached out his hand to me, so he took off my blue jacket and handed it to him.
Then suddenly I said.
"Oh, when I sit down..."
"Yeah?"
"No, well, no."
I glanced at the blanket in the corner of the room. If you care when you sit comfortably, bring a blanket and cover it.
And I asked with my fists in both hands.
"What shall we do now?"
"Just talking......."
it was then When I saw the game machine under the TV, I was excited and shouted.
"Oh, let's play a tennis game!"
"Uh?"
Eun Ji-ho looked a tray for some reason.
"I've wanted to buy that game machine a lot since I was young, but my mom didn't ask me how much she would do."
"Uh. . . . .
"Eun Ji-ho, you've done that, haven't you? There are commercials on TV and I have everything around me, but I'm the only one who doesn't have it! Let's do it quickly, let's do it!"
Eun Ji-ho was dragged by me with an embarrassed expression and sat in front of the game machine. He was mesmerized for a moment, and he handed me a remote control.
When I turned on the game console and found the tennis game at the end of a little heh, two characters appeared with big eyes and scleaked hands and feet.
Whether the couple considered what to do, one was a man and one was a woman.
I don't really like the female character's eyes because they're so shiny, can't you change it? When I couldn't find a function to change even after looking for a long time, I smping on Eun Ji-ho.
"I'll be a male character. You are a female character."
"What? Where is that......."
Eun Ji-ho protested, but I quickly pressed the start game button. It was something he did knowing that he didn't care much about these things anyway. Indeed, he rubbed his back and sighed lightly, and he lifted the remote control.
As he swung the remote, the female character in the game swung the racket with a big drop of eyes. When I saw it, I bent my waist and smiled, so I missed the ball as it was.
I grumbled as I saw the screen that came to mind '15-0'.
"Oh, this doesn't work well."
"What are you talking about because you didn't even swing the racket."
Eun Ji-ho, who was absurdly giving Pinzan, hurriedly raised his hand when I threw the ball. Looking at the sloppy form, it seemed that he had never learned tennis properly.
Maybe he looked like he had read my eyes, he said, squinting when he accepted the ball.
"Dan, don't play tennis in front of others. I'm worried that you'll give me a big smile unno way."
Diss disguised as his concern, I frowned and replied.
"Do you think it's not?"
"Who is losing between the two of us?"
Ugh, I had nothing to say. I bit my lips as I saw the ball passing me in the screen and rolling out of the court.
no wait But the fact that I'm losing to a guy who's in such a sloppy form is that really that my form is more funny than his form?
No way, it can't be. There can be a more funny form in the world than that.
Thinking like that, I resolutely listened to the remote control. Then I stopped going into an accident.
"Ah."
Eun Ji-ho groaned as he grabbed his chin. I left the remote as if throwing it and hurriedly bowed my head in front of him.
"Oh, what should I do, Eun Ji-ho. are you OK ?
I definitely felt something hitting when I stretched out the remote control.
oh what should I do I shouldn't have hit hard. What a disgrace to go to the hospital after a date on a date on the weekend and get a flu and go to the hospital.......
I snooped my head one by and over again to see the wounds that Eun Ji-ho covered with one hand and rarely showed me. Fortunately, he said, who didn't go long to get his hands away.
"No, it didn't fit hard. It's okay, it's okay though......."
"Yes."
"Let's put this down. I'm afraid you'll get hurt like this."
If it was Eun Ji-ho who was definitely the one who waved his hand, it wouldn't end with such a light injury.
I calmly put the remote in the basket and looked back.
He was leaning against the corner of the sofa. I sat down on my knees in front of him and asked.
"What should I do, do you have a lot of pain? Is it really okay?"
"It's okay. This is just a bit...... because I'm tired."
"Then it's serious. I eat healthy food so hard. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Are you going to be scolded, really?"
He squeaked his jaw with his index finger.
Reading the meaning, I hesitated and got up on my knees and hugged his neck with both hands. The soft hair touching the fingertips made me feel good.
"Why are you up?"
I kissed his cheek, who asked me puzzledly. Eun Ji-ho had a bewildered face and then laughed.
he asked
"The place I got hit is not my cheeks, but my chin?"
"That's right, but I thought it would be weird to do it on my chin."
"Oh, are you hitting me evenly?"
this is real I frowned upon him and slammed his arm weakly.
Either that or not, Eun Ji-ho, who was smiling and slapped his cheeks, suddenly said.
"I wondered why I felt so unfamiliar, and neither of us ever kissed each other on the cheek. Even though I've ever kissed."
"The progress was a mess."
I agreed But since there are so many couples around who are so messed up, this seems like nothing...... he said again.
"Our first kiss didn't even have a really mood. It was on the veranda of my house. I hear the sound of a fight in the upper house, and I can even bark from somewhere to the dog......."
"I'll do it by doing a toothg. I ate seasoned chicken at that time. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Who did you order that? was he an astronaut Anyway, he doesn't help life. You should hang up with him as soon as possible."
"Jooin also said that to me whenever I had a chance. I want you to stop giving me grace and break up. It's already too much."
"You're going crazy."
I asked as I pulled Eun Ji-ho's head, smiling as if it was ridiculous.
"So the fantasy is broken?"
"Oh, it's all broken."
Saying that, he bowed down and kissed me.
One of his hands clenched my cheeks, and the other hand held the sofa next to me.
I glanced at his arm, which stood in my side, and maybe because his posture was a little uncomfortable, he pulled my back and made me sit close. The horse sat down, it was almost on the knee.
Oh, I'm a little worried that it might be disheveled. Even though I thought so, I hugged his neck, and let him kiss greed.
Eun Ji-ho, who usually looks a bit dry, and doesn't have a public thing or strongly expresses his opinion, only showed his feelings only when he did. And I actually liked it, very much.
After a long time, I wrapped his cheeks that took his lips off me. I said with a face that I was still reminded of.
"By the way, Jooin told me to break up with you, but he also said something like this."
"What?"
Eun Ji-ho didn't seem to like the mention of someone else's name in this yard, but he asked quietly.
I said it again
"If I can't break up with you, I'll go out with you for the rest of your life."
"There's no way he would say that kind of thing."
"Yes, then you'll be recognized for your virtue in your next life and you'll be able to meet other good people."
"After all, I'm going to catch me and break up with him soon."
He grumbled a little and looked at me again and asked.
"So are you going to meet someone else?"
That meant that I would go out with me for the rest of my life anyway.
I said with a round smile.
"Well, think about it."
Then he kissed me. It was a more impulsive behavior than before.
And he said again.
"Don't worry about that, I'll do really good."
"Actually, I didn't worry about anything."
And this time, I kissed you first.
* * *
The problem broke out around the evening.
Fortunately, I ate until dinner without being caught by anyone (I'll check the exact result on weekdays), and I was surprised when Eun Ji-ho told me to go home because I felt better after lunch and found a series of delicious restaurants.
I asked
"Already? why ?
He never came here without finishing his work when he came to see me.
And I've never canceled my appointment with me. It was a part where you could see how hard he usually overdoed himself.
Well, then, did you get tired because you kept living like that? Yeah, it's worth it. What has this been going on for a year and a half already. Besides, these days, thanks to my coming to Seoul, we meet almost every day.......
At that time, Eun Ji-ho said.
"No, I didn't bring my car today. I can't take you there, but it's a bit late."
"Ah. . . . .
"No, wait. Taxi...... I didn't think of that because I didn't take it. I can take you there by taxi and come back."
I shook my head and said.
"You don't have to, Eun Ji-ho. That's such a waste of money. Besides, it's a waste of time."
"Real? Then shall we just take the subway and stop by your house?"
"It's the weekend today, so I don't know what my mom and dad are doing somewhere in the neighborhood! Don't make a big noise."
He kicked his tongue at my repulsation. I asked him for his visibly regretful appearance.
"Are you so nervous about spending time alone? I just thought you were going to take me there because you like driving."
"What? No, driving...... I don't really like it. It's comfortable because there's a car, but that's all."
"Is that so?"
no what It's a lot of a lot of things to take your lover to the front of your house, but I don't think it's very common considering the distance between his house and our house and his schedule...... That's when he said.
"Oh, I knew why I was anxious."
"What?"
"Because of the manager. I guess it's because of that thing at that time."
"Ah."
I opened my mouth I know, I didn't think of that. It's me, everything is fine now, so I've never had a place to encounter such a world again, so I forgot.......
I was thinking about it for a while, so I looked up at him again.
"I thought you didn't really care about it at that time. Because at that time you hated me...... and even doubted me."
Eun Ji-ho covered his face with one hand as if he was grunting to me.
Oh, that was a sensitive topic. But if you look at it, it's not him who should be sensitive, isn't it me......?
At that time, Eun Ji-ho said.
"Sorry. I brought it up for no reason."
"What? no . I really don't care anymore."
Despite what I said, Eun Ji-ho spoke slowly with a miserable expression.
"But really, there may be no excuse, but I was then...... I never hated you."
"Yeah?"
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have done anything crazy to attach people to you and attach cars."
"Oh, that? I thought it was just like that on a moral level. No matter how much you hate it, if you know that your life is threatened, you can't care......."
"That's true, but I was really...... Oh, no. I'm going to tell you, but I can't do it because it's more like an excuse."
As I saw him smating his hair, I decided to turn the topic around.
I asked with a smile.
"Anyway, there's a reason why you're obsessed with taking me there, so you should only take the car you give me in the future?"
Then he raised his head. He made eye contact with me, and he said with a smile.
"To be honest, yes."
"Okay. You say you're anxious, but I have to use my heart. Please continue to take me every day."
Even though he said it on purpose, Eun Ji-ho smiled and nodded.
and he said
"Then it's okay until the station, right? Let's just go to the station in front of your house."
"No, today is our last chance to go separately. So be gentle and take the subway in your direction of your house."
"Still..."
"Uh huh."
When I made a grim look on purpose, Eun Ji-ho turned around slowly as if he couldn't do it.
I laughed proudly as I saw his back moving away.
I was worried that a busy kid would take me every day, but for that reason, I don't have to feel guilty. I'm going to ask you to take me comfortably from now on.
And when I passed through the ticket gate, I waved to Eun Ji-ho, who was standing.
I didn't see him sign of going down until I went down, so I walked down the stairs on purpose.
It was about five stops that I felt an unknown emptiness.
Uh, what did I drop...... I groped in the shopper bag and pocket with both hands. Cell phone, there is, wallet, there, don't you have a camera? No, I'm doing well. Of course, I didn't even take it out.
Oh my god, I forgot about the photo assignment because I was playing and chatting. But that's not what the point right now, what the hell am I.......
I was thinking about it for a long time, so I screamed inside.
Oh, what should I do! I left my lunch box cold합! Where did you leave it, a room cafe? That's the only most likely place.
I put my hands together and clenched my hands. what to do ? You'll be scolded by your mom for lost Chanhap, right? No, more than that, what if someone opens it and eats it?
But my worries soon faded quickly.
Ah...... You don't have to worry about that at all. No way, no one will try to eat it after seeing it.
But an unresolved anxiety remained on one side of my chest. I was restless, so I finally decided and sent a message to Eun Ji-ho.
[Hamdan: Jiho, right?]
[Hamdan: I'm really asking just in case]
[Hamdan: Are you Chanhap]
I got a reply before I even said the next word.
[Eun Ji-ho : Oh that]
[Eun Ji-ho: I took it]
[Eun Ji-ho : (Photo)]
I screamed when I saw the red chanhap boasting of presence on the bottom of the subway in the background. Why is it there!
I knocked on the keyboard while crying.
[Hhamdan: No, why are you doing that?
[Eun Ji-ho: Oh, do you have anything to write about? If you don't take it right away, will you be scolded by your mother?]
[Eun Ji-ho: Then do you want me to bring it to you tomorrow morning?]
[Hamdan: No, not that]
[Hamdan: Oh really, why did you take it?
[Hamdan: I was going to throw it away when I got home]
When I saw the reply that came back, I jumped. Oh, that's crazy, really.
[Eun Ji-ho: You made the dan]
[Eun Ji-ho: Why did you throw it away lol]
[Eun Ji-ho: You should eat]
I sent a reply.
[Hamdan: No, don't eat]
[Hamdan: Never eat it]
[Hamdan: Bring it to my house as soon as the sun rises tomorrow]
[Hamdan: No...... Just leave it in the refrigerator and bring it when we meet on Monday]
Despite my extreme expression of not just leaving Chan-hang, but burying it, Eun Ji-ho didn't seem to have grasped the seriousness of the situation yet.
The reply came back with a calm tone.
[Eun Ji-ho : Why?]
[Eun Ji-ho: I made it this morning, so I don't have to worry about it hurting it if I carried it for a while]
[Hamdan : No, it's not...]
[Hamdan: I told you earlier]
[Hhamdan: That Chanhap fell off a while ago and rolled up ᅲᅲ]
[Hamdan: The contents inside are no joke. They're all mixed up and jumbled up]
I got a reply that I would be more crazy.
[Eun Ji-ho: I heard that, but you made it]
[Eun Ji-ho: It's not even spoiled]
[Eun Ji-ho: I look good, so don't worry about it]
No, I'm not okay! And it's not only the appearance but also the taste is weird. There was a problem even before it was mixed.
I rewrote
[Hamdan: Oh, don't eat ᅲᅲ]
[Hamdan: It doesn't taste good, so don't complain about me after eating it]
[Hamdan: Don't eat when you say good words]
[Eun Ji-ho: Okay]
OK ? I sighed for relief and grabbed the back of the reply that had stopped.
[Eun Ji-ho: You don't have to write a review, right?]
hey ! If people shouldn't eat, don't eat! I lost my will due to a series of failed persuasion.
What if he really eats that lunch box as soon as he gets home, or tomorrow morning? I can't even stop him because I'm not next to him.
It's said that it's okay no matter what it looks like or how it tastes, but when a person puts something that doesn't taste good in his mouth, it's instinctively, the chimi is annoying and anger. Is there any guarantee that it's not really directed towards me?
Oh, you said you were going to pack a lunch box for nothing, so you'll just listen to it when Eun Ji-ho says she asks her.......
Finally, I started to cry. The anger at me who insisted on my back and said that I would pack a lunch box, the annoyance about Eun Ji-ho who carried the lunch box, and the fear that maybe Eun Ji-ho might have bad feelings for me after eating the lunch box...... That's time, my phone rang.
I looked at the screen as I wiped my tears.
[Eun Ji-ho : Wait a minute]
[Eun Ji-ho: Are you talking seriously now?]
[Eun Ji-ho: Not a joke, really?]
Then I got a call right away. I got a call
I said in a voice with the rest of the crying.
"Yeah, hello."
[Oh, that's crazy...... I thought you were telling me not to eat as a joke. I've been wondering if he's serious right now since he told me not to eat when he says good words.]
"I kept telling you not to eat, but why don't you listen to me...... Black."
In the end, the sound of crying leaked out of my mouth. The woman next to me stared at me and sat down one space apart.
I'm sorry, I had a lot of emotional ups and downs today...... I heard Eun Ji-ho's voice as I apologize inside.
[I made it by you, but I think it's a waste to throw it away as you said. I don't know if I dropped it on the ground at all, if it's mixed in the chanhap, it's not a place to eat...... No, you get off at that station first. I'll go there with this now. It hasn't been long since we broke up, so we'll be there soon.]
I wiped my tears with his cuffs and got off at the next station.
It felt very lonely to sit alone at the crowded station on Saturday evening.
It was about 20 minutes after Eun Ji-ho arrived.
He looked embarrassed when he saw my face, which really left with tear marks. I think he was vaguely hoping that I would rather be playing a prank.
As I passed by, I felt like I was too emotional, so I couldn't stand the embarrassment.
I bowed my head and just held out my hand.
"Praise."
"Uh?"
"Give me a compliment first."
Then with a complicated look on his face, he retreated obediently, handing his condantness as if a soldier had surrendered a gun and other armament.
And when I didn't say anything for a long time, he hesitated to speak out.
"Oh, of course, I think it would be less futile and pleasant to eat than to throw away the lunch box. ..."
"......."
"But when I think about it again, I don't have any discussion...... I'm sorry. I really won't do this next time."
"No, me. I'm angry......."
Then I opened my mouth and said in a rough voice. Eun Ji-ho, who stopped talking, stared at me.
I rubbed my tingling eyes and spoke.
"Until now, I had no choice but to think that I shouldn't let you eat that lunch box somehow... I was so distracted that I even cried about it, and I was embarrassed."
"Can I go to the side?"
Eun Ji-ho, who was the color of the fire, asked.
As I nodded, he came a month's note, holding my hand and letting me sit on the bench and sitting on himself.
We were sitting together on the bench where I was sitting earlier. It wasn't much different in the situation, but mentally it was less embarrassing and much more comforting than before. It was quick to calm down.
Finally, when I was convinced that I wouldn't cry anymore, I looked up and said.
"Jiho. You. . . .
"Yes."
I was worried that I would provoke myself, but the voice that answered was soft.
I said it again
"Are you really confident that you won't peel off the bean pods even after eating that lunch box?"
"What else am I saying."
He laughed as if he was ridiculous.
"Usually, what has been written for seven years is not called a bean pod."
That was the right word. I shut up again. Eun Ji-ho, who was sweeping his hair, said to me.
"I really want to be nice to you...... I guess I still don't know what to do. When I see you ringing like this."
I'm sorry for being clumsy I shook my head when he said what he added.
I said
"No, me too...... I'm sorry. I was so angry earlier."
"That's not that I'm angry because I understood what you said seriously as a joke."
"Still..."
When I hesitated to reply, Eun Ji-ho laughed as if he couldn't help it. And he looked down at the clock and said.
"I've come all the way here, I just want to take you to the front of your house."
"Well...... yeah."
To be honest, I was in a sense of liberation at this point whether I was caught or not. We've already been near the school together, but what do you think?
Me and Eun Ji-ho held hands and this time walked to take the subway in the same direction.
This was the most ridiculous thing that happened between us at the beginning of the semester.
* * *
It was the following Thursday that I met with Yeo-ryeong and the Four Heavenly Kings.
It's not Friday, it's Thursday, it's very vague, but I couldn't help it because there was a meeting for the whole club on Friday. It's not possible for us to get out of ourselves after the club meeting. No, the atmosphere of our club get-together is good, but it's still different from having only six of us.
Now the lights are dim, the tables are hustle, the smell of perfume and stench is mixed, and outside the window, I'm pretty familiar with the scenery of the college street bar where neon signs sparkle.
The bar I came to today was not a college town, and each table was separated into cubicles about my height, so it was less hustle and bustle. Still, I couldn't cover all their gorgeous appearances, so I could feel the gaze of people going back and forth in the hallway between the partitions. You mean this much even though there are no public figures among us? I stuck my tongue inside.
If Yoo Cheon-young was a celebrity like before the world changed, it would have been a big mess.
Thinking like that, I inadvertently stared at Yoo Cheon-young sitting across the street.
The dark blue hair had a subtle color like a tropical fish in the dark under the colorful light. The same was true of the blue eyes. Suddenly, as if he felt his gaze, he raised his head and looked at me.
It was then that someone sm the back of my hand.
I looked to the side. Eun Ji-ho was putting out the menu.
"Dan, what should I order?"
"Oh. Wait......."
I was discussing the menu with Yeo-ryeong head to discuss it again, and when I glanced again, Yoo Cheon-young looked behind me. It looked like they were looking at people going up and going outside. With my eyes off him, I pressed the button in the corner of the table.
"Oh, yes. I'm going to order."
Jooin, who remembers almost all the conversations at this table so far, placed an order for me. In the meantime, I've been chinned and swaying everywhere.
It's already the fifth time I've been to this store, and considering that I'm not long after I'm free, I've been quite diligent.
The overall dark atmosphere and LED lights that change color as if they were flowing from the ceiling, so I liked it to feel like I was immersed in the deep sea when the lights turned blue.
Maybe because of this kind of atmosphere, there were a lot of people whenever I came. We tried to wait until the snacks came out, but when they didn't come out, we ended up filling the glass.
After each person filled the glass, I suddenly said with my eyes twinkling.
"By the way, I've always been curious, but why don't we do toast ourselves?"
"Yeah?"
Eun-hyung asked as if he was a little embarrassed. I asked again.
"They do everything else."
Then Jooin, who was sitting on the other side, smiled and interrupted.
"It's because my mom is a newbie."
cute newbie Ye-ryeong also said, who smiled and added.
"That's right, it's so cute, Dan is a newbie."
Saying that, Yeo-ryeong hugged my neck tightly and gave me a good smell.
To be honest, I was a little embarrassed, but I didn't hate being cute after a long time, so I stayed still.
At that time, I heard Eun Ji-ho's squeaky voice.
"You just want to love Hamdan."
Yeo-ryeong immediately refuted with a straight voice.
"So? You're not going out with Dan now, so you're going to have the right to love Dan? That's ridiculous, you! It's a violation of the human rights of the heavenly father."
"How does Hamdan's right to be cute belong to the human right? Are you the kid who studies law? I'd rather be a monopoly."
Whether Eun Ji-ho asked as if it was ridiculous or not, Yeo-ryeong who looked back at me shouted resolutely.
"Dan, break up! No matter how much I think about it, it's such a waste of you."
"Hey, you treat me like a barley sack that kept you smping for me..."
Whether Eun Ji-ho said it or not, the owner on the other side also smiled and interrupted.
"That's right, break up! Because I think that side will be fun. Eun Ji-ho is squeezing...... No, I think I can see him crying."
"Abyss, I'll see you next time you have a girlfriend. Somehow you have to find a place where you two are dating and attack them, I."
Despite Eun Ji-ho's bloody declaration, the owner only laughed with his chin.
As I was thinking about where his spare time would have been attributed, I soon realized.
Anyway, I'm going to say that as a joke because of Eun Ji-ho's personality, but even if it's not a joke, Ari is an opponent that can never be found even if Eun Ji-ho mobilizes all his abilities.
And it's the same with the owner.......
I stared at the owner's face, who was still smiling. It seemed like a pale shade on his face that he thought looked fun until a while ago.
Meanwhile, while we were talking, Yoo Cheon-young had a conversation with Eun-hyung in a low voice or ate basic snacks alone. I kept looking at his eyes for nothing, and I was relieved when the snacks finally came out. I don't think I have to have an awkward atmosphere anymore.
It's already been a few months since I crawled out of the Jae Soo academy, but I haven't talked to Yoo Cheon-young properly since then. No, to be precise, when I was in a good-go academy, we all drank together and got drunk a few times...... In general, 'I'm happy.' 'You are happy, too.' It was a conversation like a virtue story on a holiday, so it wasn't that substantial.
I was immersed in a momentary reminiscing, and when the others lifted the glass, I hurriedly followed the glass.
Just before I hit the glass, Eun-hyung glanced at me and asked.
"Dane wants to make a toast, so should we make it small enough not to hear the other table?"
"You decide the owner of the toast."
It was Yeo-ryeong who said that. As everyone's eyes were on, she said again.
"I ordered Eun Ji-ho to 'existence is high, love is deep, friendship is equal.' I'm sure I'm going to do something like this."
"Ugh, I really hate it."
"Hey, I haven't said anything yet. Can you please don't hate people for things you didn't do......."
Eun Ji-ho responded low to the owner who posed that he had raised chicken meat with his arms wrapped around his arms.
And the owner, who was struggling while touching his lips for a while, then held out a glass and shouted cheerfully.
"Let's be close!"
"foot."
Eun-hyung raised one hand and tried to cover his mouth with a burst of laughter, and then he dropped the fork. Thanks to this, there was a commotion while groping under the dark table and finding the fork.
While Eun-hyung, who managed to find it, asked the employee for a new fork, the owner and Eun Ji-ho were constantly tucking.
"Wow, you said you wouldn't let me do it because it would make you feel bad if you let me do it, but what is 'Let's be close'? 'Let's be close'? Is that a toast to this place where middle and high school classmates gather?"
"Ji-ho, everyone is laughing, why are you the only one? Don't you know that your attitude like this makes the atmosphere cheaper? It's four big things, right now."
"You know that 'work' is the person I've known you for the longest time here, right?"
"Why are you so squishy today? Let's stop breaking up."
"I have a dan, you crazy man..."
Then all of a sudden, my eyes were focused on me.
I rolled my eyes while I was drinking alone.
What should I do to respond properly to the role of 'girlfriend who found out that my boyfriend had another lover'?
In the end, I powerfully put down my chin and declared.
"Gora. Is it me or him?"
"What? Dan, do you call such nonsense a question now?"
I replied with my chin stiff at Eun Ji-ho's question.
"What? What I'm saying is ridiculous?"
"No, that's..."
While Eun Ji-ho was washing his dry face over and over again with a pale face, the owner and Yeo-ryeong were excited and slept. They grinned and took a high five, then stretched out their palms to me as well.
I thought as I hit my palms with them with a mate sound.
Well, the peace of the drinking party was preserved by Eun Ji-ho's sacrifice today. I don't have anything to say to my boyfriend, but I'm always having a hard time. Good job in the future, Eun Ji-ho.
And I tilted the glass all the way. Maybe because I drank it after laughing, it tasted better than usual.
The atmosphere became even softer with alcohol in it. Originally, the owner and Yeo-ryeong, who were talkative, were good at each other, and I sometimes interrupted or laughed.
Eun-hyung, like a parent watching a fun party, he smiled and watched us like that.
Lastly, Yoo Cheon-young still didn't say much, but he could see that his eyebrows and mouth were loosened, which definitely made him feel better than before.
It was around the time when the military topic came out that I was able to talk to him.
I asked for a snooping my head.
"Yoo Cheon-young, do you have to go to the army? I thought you were dual-national."
Yoo Cheon-young replied with a glass.
"Regardless of that, you have to go to the army. That way, you can freely enter and leave the country even after you have decided on your nationality."
"Ah, I see. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I replied blankly. I was slow on my question, but when I heard the answer that came back in detail, I was always relieved. Because I feel like the relationship between him and me is no different from before.
At that time, I heard Eun Ji-ho's voice again. I turned my head
"Yoo Cheon-young...... The life that the two brothers have done everything for so far...... But I couldn't do it for you as much as going to the army."
"Shut up, Eun Ji-ho..."
Yoo Cheon-young's voice became lower and more bloody. Eventually, he lifted the bottleneck of the liquor in front of him, then repeated it for a long time, and finally chose to lift the torso part.
The owner, who grinned at the sight, said.
"Cheonyoung just chose the latter while comparing the value of killing Eunjiho with the rest of her life. Thank you, Jiho."
Yeo-ryeong said as if he had waited.
"That's right, Eun Ji-ho. You, Yu Cheon-young saved your life as much as you can, so from today, you will have 2 times in your life, think it's a new life and live with gratitude."
Despite the serious opinions of the two, Eun Ji-ho was still talking nonsense.
"What? Yoo Cheon-young, think again. Where am I worth less than the rest of your life?"
"I know you'd be grateful if you saved what you were going to kill..."
Yoo Cheon-young responded with a very tired voice.
When I laughed frantically at the sight, I thought it was watering alcohol, so I drank it and almost caught it. There was another commotion because of me like that.
After some commotion was over, we also drank and exchanged a lot of things.
It was around the time we were discussing jokes that only worked within each department that happened again.
The most dowr was the jokes within the mechanical engineering department that the owner brought out.
He seriously explained to us with an expression that he didn't know what he was talking about.
"No, so listen to it. I was in the car with the people of the invention club......."
Even though Eun Ji-ho made a face next to me that he was blatantly in interest, he said something steadfast.
"One senior keeps getting motion sickness, 'Oh, why am I so motion sickness these days?' So, all of a sudden, another senior is doing this. 'I guess your native frequency has changed.' Then the senior who said he was going to get motion sickness got angry, and we laughed a lot."
"......."
Silence raged on the table.
After a while, Yeo-ryeong, who frowned at her eyebrows, asked carefully.
"So what does that mean?"
Even though it was the first place in the country in the world, there seemed to be something I didn't know. Well, it was an expression that not only her but also Eun Ji-ho didn't know in her life.
the owner answered
"What does that mean, when the resonant frequency of the car and the intrinsic frequency of our body coincide, we feel a severe shaking?"
"Eh-huh......?"
"By the way, the intrinsic frequency is the K of the root M, where M is the weight and the K is the styrene, but the styrene hardly changes. ."
"Ahhh."
Only then did you look like Yeo-ryeong understood. I nodded too
So, in other words, the owner's senior's remarks are an elegant roundabout expression of 'I guess you've changed your weight'.......
But do I have to bypass it that much? As I thought, suddenly Eun Ji-ho poured the leftovers of his glass into the glass of water.
Yoo Cheon-young asked annoyed.
"What are you doing?"
"No, it didn't taste like alcohol..."
"That's my glass."
"What? why is it here Anyway, I'm sorry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
While Eun Ji-ho made an apology that didn't sound very sincere, the owner, who took the glass of water containing the liquor and emptied it clean, smiled and said again.
"There's also this one. We all went to the front of the vending machine to pick up a drink during the break, and the drink that was usually 1,000 won was marked as 800 won. So a senior asked what kind of rice cake it was, and an 800 won drink came out. The senior was futile, and we laughed, saying, 'The law of energy conservation.' As expected, Input and Output should be the same. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Okay, let's stop. It's painful to be listening more."
You really lost your sense after attending engineering. The astronauts responded with a smile when he was added by Eun Ji-ho. I still have a vivid feeling when I make fun of you.
Meanwhile, I was touching a drinking glass and thinking about what to bring up.
It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together like this, so if you have something to say, you should do it now, but what was there?
Suddenly, I remembered the promise I made last week. I thought as I looked into my eyes on the half-hearted table.
Yeah, if you tell me that Eun Ji-ho and I are dating at the club MT, it's impossible not to have a aftermath even for those who have hidden that fact until now. That's right. I'd rather say it now.......
After making up my mind, I slowly opened my mouth.
"Hey."
"Yeah?"
As my eyes gathered, I looked at Eun Ji-ho as if asking for permission.
He seemed to have noticed what I was trying to do with just my eyes.
He brought it up before me.
"We're going to reveal that we're dating at this club MT."
There was silence on the table for a moment. It was a more trembling silence than when the owner brought up the so-called engineering joke.
After a while, a female spirit shouted as he jumped up from his seat.
"What?! How can you do that... Are you going to stamp Dane in front of you?"
"If you say so, I think I'm doing something very unfair, but this is exactly what Hamdan allowed me to do?"
right is it Dan I nodded at the words he asked me in a more subtle way than usual. No, technically it's something I suggested first.
Then Yeo-ryeong, who made a crying, said it was ridiculous.
"Well, but...... Dan, think about it. In fact, there may be a lot of hidden problems in Eun Ji-ho. In addition to personality."
"Why do you say that I already prove that I have a problem with my personality?"
Yeo-ryeong, who ignored Eun Ji-ho's objection, said, smping down the table.
"He, yeah, for example...... How do you know? I wonder if the hair loss gene that is latent in him is looking for an opportunity to be active right now!"
"You just spit out what's been saying from a long time ago, really? And first of all, we don't have that kind of gene in our family?"
Eun Ji-ho, who was lowly sarcastic, said again.
"And it's not that women don't have hair loss, do you know? You too, too, to show up with Hamdan's flashing head in front of you in decades."
"Eun Ji-ho, aren't you too much of leaps? I didn't even say I was bald!"
"Hair or bald, that's it."
"Are you like a sprout and a tree?"
It was then that Eun-hyung, who had been tilting the glass silently for a while, raised his head. I wanted him to mediate the two as usual, I saw him with expectant eyes.
But coming back was the opposite of expectations.
Eun-hyung spoke slowly with a drowsy and looser than usual.
"Jiho. Don't frame Yeo-ryeong."
"What? framed ?
I didn't know that Eun-hyung would show up like this and side with Yeo-ryeong, but Eun Ji-ho reacted that it was absurd.
On the other hand, I also opened my eyes wide and saw Eun-hyung in a different way than I expected.
Eun-hyung blinked his eyes from time to time as if he was sleepy and answered.
"Jiho, hair loss is...... Testosterone, the male hormone, is caused by meeting the 5 alpha-reducing enzyme in our body. It is hair loss that is caused by the combination of DHT, the metabolic substance produced at that time, with the hair follicular cells."
"I don't know about that, but I think you're a little drunk."
Eun Ji-ho said as if he was tired of it. Yoo Cheon-young watched tremblingly, and Eun-hyung spoke while the owner was smirking and knocking on the table.
"Although male hormones exist in women, most people have rest-to-life loss, unlike men, are caused by environmental factors rather than genetic factors. If the cause of hair loss is removed, it will return to normal in a few months. I know......."
His head, which had been ticking as if he was joked the whole time he spoke, crawled down.
"You just have to cheer up, Jiho. cheer up."
The last time he said it, he fell down on the table.
There was silence for a moment.
In time, Eun Ji-ho swept up his hair and sighed deeply, and at the same time, a burst of laughter.
I'm sorry, but there was also my laughter in it. No, but Eun-hyung, who doesn't think so at all, is like that, so I can't stand laughing.
I grabbed Eun Ji-ho's shoulder and asked.
"Wow, Eun-hyung is drunk now, right? It's the first time I've seen Eun-hyung drunk. Isn't Eun-hyung drinking so much?"
"Not so far, about two or three bottles of soju? That's more than normal people, right?"
And he said to Yeo-ryeong.
"Why did he get drunk so quickly today? Did you drink fast or too much?"
"I don't think it's both? I drank slowly as usual......."
Yeo-ryeong, who was pondering something, suddenly said.
"Oh, Eun-hyung, I feel like I'm getting heavy because I'm sitting and studying these days, so I skip dinner and go to the gym. We're meeting in the evening today, so I think we came to bed as soon as we finished the gym."
Oh, I replied with my tongue.
"I'll go right away if I drink alcohol in my empty stomach after exercising...... I'll stop by the convenience store and buy some milk."
"You know Eun-hyung's personality, I think he's going to be late, so he must have run anywhere."
Saying that, Yeo-ryeong reached across the table and stroked Eun-hyung's cheek. Even if the words did so, the hand gesture was full of affection.
As if he felt the hand gesture at that time, Eun-hyung overlapped Ye-ryeong's hand and mumbled. When I heard it in detail, I was repeating that I should rest assured by saying something in some medical terms again this time.
Looking at the figure, the owner said.
"Let's take a video, a video. We can't just pass Eun-hyung's historic first drinking."
Yeo-ryeong said to run in like a lot of effort and say.
The two of them are struggling to find the best place to hold both Eun-hyung's appearance and voice, and suddenly I heard Eun Ji-ho's murmur from the side.
"The king of the end of the drinking habit is also our Dan."
"What?"
When I asked, Eun Ji-ho's expression when he looked back at me became strange.
He hesitated to ask.
"Don't you remember the day we all went to the academy together when you were a good-taken? I heard that we were okay at that time, but you had to drink, so I felt so sorry that you couldn't do anything......."
"Eh? Why me that day? I don't remember well. Didn't you drink well and go well?"
Eun Ji-ho's expression became even more strange.
oh wait I frowned at his eyebrows as he looked like he had dug my grave and brushed his hair.
Shall we just move on? But to do that, my intuition, which was triggered earlier, was ringing a alarm.
Eventually, I asked again.
"What is it?"
"That's..."
Eunjiho, who blurred the horse's tail, glanced at Yeo-ryeong behind me as if he was ordering a menu of the spleen.
Yeo-ryeong, who just put the screen of Eun-hyung, who had been filming Eun-hyung, played a video.
In the anxiously swaying screen, there was a drinker in a cup alone with his head bowed. Someone wanted to see it, and it was me.
It was noisy all around. It was clear that it was the day when not only Yeo-ryeong and the Four Great Heavenly Kings came, but also Yoon Jung-in and Lee Min-ah.
Suddenly, when I looked closely at the screen, I frowned. No, if it's not my eye-of-eye, the lid of the bottle tilting to the glass was clearly...... closed.
I didn't know that, and I was pouring the bottle over and over again, so when there was nothing coming out, I put down the bottle down and fell down and wept.
[There's nothing in the world that can't be done on my own way.......]
The video was cut off there.
I looked back because I wanted to hear a small smile in the midst of the cold atmosphere, and it was Yoo Cheon-young. He hurriedly turned his head away from my gaze, but he had already seen it all.
While I opened my eyes, Eun Ji-ho hesitated.
"No, I already thought we showed you this..."
"You told me to show you."
The person who Yeo-ryeong said that and pointed out was the owner. The owner shrugged his shoulders and answered.
"I don't want to see my mom screaming, so I told you to show me the person who lost because of the rock paper scissors."
"In the first place, the person who loses by rock-scissors falls, but what is it that you're going to fall out and start by yourself from the beginning?"
While Eun Ji-ho raised an extremely common-sense objection, I slowly opened my mouth. everyone looked at me
With five pairs of eyes focused on me, I declared.
"You're all a break from school."
This was the reason why I suddenly went to the club MT alone.
* * *
Even though I said it was a break, I didn't mean it very serious. Because 'abseverity' was actually a very common word among us.
Every time classmates in class 8 get together at the end of the year or the new year, Shin Seo-hyun and Lee Ji-han look at Yoon Jung-in with smug eyes and say, 'I will definitely break up next year.......' While mumbling, if they go on a trip by themselves, they write 'not cut off' to their travel goals, or Eun Ji-ho and the owner look at each other whenever they have time and say, 'When are we going to cut off?' While asking, it was in a similar context to having been best friends for decades.
Just like that, I was a little torn apart, so I just said that to mean not to touch it for a few days, but I wasn't that angry. well maybe
But if there was a problem, it was to find someone to hang out with when MT.
Our club was quite a lot of people, even though it wasn't a coalition club, but there were few people attending all the meetings, and now, most of all, it's been about a month and a half since the semester started. In addition, everyone would have believed like Cheol-seok that I would act with the Four Heavenly Kings and Ban Yeo-ryeong during MT.
In the end, I made a strategic reconciliation with Ye-ryeong for MT. Of course, Yeo-ryeong, who was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take a picture with me and MT, actively accepted my suggestion.
Because of me, I thought it was harsh not to get along with Ye-ryeong during MT, and I didn't think he would have been involved in such a reckless thing, so I quickly came into contact with Eun-hyung.
That way, on the day of the meeting just before MT, I was attended by half-ryeong with my arms crossed.
Eun-hyung laughed a bit, somewhat embarrassed, and took a step away from us and looked at the situation. To be honest, he seemed to have a little bit of fun in this situation, too.
The other three people, that is, Eun Ji-ho and Yoo Cheon-young, were each sitting in the corner with a ridiculous, dissatisfied, or a bumpy look.
The classroom in the evening was full of noise, and soon Kim Hyung-cheol, the president of the club 'Point', class 8, came in.
"Hey, our club, we get along well with each other once every two weeks. I heard a sound from the hallway, and I thought it was a market."
Everyone burst out laughing as he held a meeting with a big joke as usual. They were mainly the same first graders as me.
Meanwhile, as he was looking around the classroom, he came to our side, opened his eyes wide and asked.
"What, but why are the guys who always got along with you? Yeo-ryeong and you guys, what happened?"
"Sir, we decided to split up."
It was Yeo-ryeong who raised his hand and spoke in a hard tone. Senior Kim Hyung-cheol asked.
"Do you think so?"
"Yes, we decided not to talk to each other even during MT."
"No, when?"
Eun Ji-ho, who was angry, quickly shut up again because it wasn't necessarily because of Yeo-ryeong. It was because I felt my cool eyes towards him.
Senior Kim Hyung-cheol still asked with a smiling face.
"What the hell? Joe has already been attached by yourselves?"
"It's okay! Even if you're in one place, you can pretend you don't know."
"Hey, Ban Yeo-ryeong. You really......."
Eun Ji-ho, who was gurgling in a public position, eventually shut up again. To us like that, 'Oh, 7 years of friendship go like this.' And the sound of teasing became darker.
In the middle, senior Kim Hyung-cheol clapping his hands and said.
"Well, they're going to make up soon, so don't make fun of them too much. They are cutting water with a knife, but let's think we cut a radish, so let's interrupt and don't let's see blood for nothing."
He spoke again after speaking with a boney horse.
"You remember that you said you were going to show up and guide you to MT today, right? Originally, I was going to do it in advance, but I'm sorry that I couldn't guide you in advance because it caused a setback to the accommodation rental. From now on, Minwoo, the vice president, will give a presentation instead of me."
"Hello."
As soon as Kim Hyung-cheol's words were over, the senior who suddenly came up on the podium greeted him. He was a senior with a normal and nice impression with a normal physique and glasses in middle height. Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung were once instructed to be close to Hyung-cheol in the club.
Hmm, that's Minwoo senior. I took a chin and looked closely at him.
Min-woo couldn't speak out of his words and scratched his back for a while, and people seemed to have suddenly played a playful move. As he cheered for a long time, he laughed as if he was embarrassed for a moment and pretended to turn off the light.
When the light went out, he introduced himself before the presentation.
"Oh, there aren't many things in our club, so I think some of you've seen me for the first time today, so I'll introduce it first. I'm Kim Min-woo, the 10th class of history."
"Wow!"
When the reaction of teasing me saying it was cool and handsome was pouring in one after another, Min-woo smiled and hit his hand.
"I have been the vice president of Point for 2 years. thank you very much ......Oh, stop it."
When he said that to the unstoppted and continued pouring cheers, the cheers finally subsided a little.
Only then did Minwoo start the presentation with a presentation. As he turned the screen, the first thing that appeared was a green carpet under the vast sky, a meadow and a herd of sheep leisurely grazing in the meadow. As a club with thick bones, someone raised his hand and shouted.
"Gangwon-do Daegwallyeong!"
"The answer."
Minwoo, who turned the screen again, spoke.
"We are going to Daegwallyeong, Gangwon-do for the job this semester. I thought a lot about the vote in the last two areas of Gangneung Andaldaegi and Daegwallyeong, Gangwon-do, but the accommodation in Andalnagi was unilaterally canceled. It's a bit ridiculous, but there's a good place in Daegwallyeong, so I decided to go there."
Listening to him, I quickly took notes on the preparations on the screen. Only those who want to bring toiletries, clothes, tripods and extra lenses can be taken with them...... In the meantime, Minwoo's voice followed.
"I was thinking a lot about what to choose as the theme of the filming, but there were so many people who didn't submit a picture with the theme of 'love', which was the last assignment, so I decided to go to the topic as it is. So those who have already submitted it should take a free topic, and those who have not submitted should submit it this time."
There was a word of backlash from someone.
"The theme is 'love', but the place is Daegwallyeong Ranch, can I go and fall in love with a cow? Or with premium first-class milk that only Daegwallyeong can make?"
It was a word that was right. How on earth are you supposed to take a love-themed photo at Daegwallyeong Ranch? If I knew it would be like this, I'd rather take a picture of Jeonju and submit it in advance.
To me who is thinking about my belated regret, I said, 'Oh, take care of it. Yeah, who wants to unsubmit it?' Hyung-cheol's relenting answer came back.
After the sound of clamoring with him stopped, senior Min-woo said again.
"Now, this is the schedule and MT group, so please refer to the part to refer to it, and if you have any questions, please ask me now."
I quickly looked at the schedule, listening to his words with one ear.
Departing from Seoul at 10 o'clock, arriving at Daegwallyeong's accommodation at 13:00, lunch until 14:00, free shooting from 14:00 to 17:00, Critic from 17:00 to 19 o'clock (criticism)....... Oops, Critic. My heart was pounding loudly at the word.
Critic literally means a criticism that shows the photos he took and listens to his appreciation and advice. Of course, our club doesn't go as critical as much as a hobby club, but he was always nervous. Besides, this is a critique of the first appearance.
At that time, one person raised his hand and asked a question.
"I have a question. Does the film camera have to do the film phenomenon on the same day?"
"Of course not. The film camera will have a separate critique time at the regular meeting of MT Da next week. You don't have to worry about going there and developing it."
"Ah...... yes."
I thought about it as I heard the answer in a deeply relieved voice.
That's a bit okay? Should I ask Eun Ji-ho to borrow a film camera, too? It's a film camera that doesn't suit him to use normally, and he has several models.
Instead, I came back to my senses. Oh, I decided not to talk to him for now....... It's so scary to grow up. In the meantime, it's like a four-dimensional pocket is always within reach.
At that time, Minwoo's senior said, 'The ppt I just showed you will be uploaded to the chat room after the final revision later.' Please check it.' I heard something to say.
Oh, I wrote it down for nothing. While I was a wasteful time watching my hard notes, he said again, coming down from the podium.
"Now, let's go to a get-together. I need to check the number of people, so if you can't come, please tell me in advance here now."
Some students flocked to senior Ur Minu, and those who expected the hallways and elevators to get crowded soon tried to leave in advance.
I'm about to get out of the back door with Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung, and Eun Ji-ho grabbed my sleeve.
I was so surprised that I looked back.
It was evening, so most of the building went out, so only his silver hair was in the dark.
He twisted his eyebrows and said low.
"Isn't it a joke that Hamdan wants to break up? Don't talk until MT is over? for real ?
I broke and answered coldly.
"Di't you say until MT is over?"
Of course, I didn't mean to break up with each other forever, but that didn't mean he was a little difficult to think about this completely lightly and move on.
No, if it's so funny that I'm drinking, I can just remember it and talk about it, is it time to even take a video? No, of course, when you see Eun-hyung doing that even when he's drunk, it's not like that for a day or two.......
I stared at Eun Ji-ho with resentful eyes.
At least you can tell me that there is such a thing. How can you keep it for almost a year without me knowing it? If it wasn't for this time, I wouldn't have lived without knowing that there was such a thing for the rest of my life.
Through my reaction, Eun Ji-ho seemed to realize that my heart wouldn't be relieved if I hold on to it for a while and talk here.
And he hesitated to open his mouth.
"No, but we..."
He seemed embarrassed, and he said again even when he lowered his eyes.
"What I decided to say during MT is..."
"It's not just that day."
"Oh, Dan. wait a minute."
Eun Ji-ho tried to hold me at the end, but I ignored his hand and swung around and moved on.
It was fortunate that no one came because the place where we were standing was close to the emergency exit. Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung were waiting a few steps away.
Yeo-ryeong looked at me and asked.
"What did Eun Ji-ho say?"
I answered bluntly.
"When we were MT, didn't we have decided to say something."
"Ah. . . . .
Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung exchanged glances for a while. Then Eun-hyung asked carefully.
"Dah, are you really okay?"
"Then, of course. What's wrong with you?"
I answered with a keen answer on purpose.
Just an hour after that, I began to regret the answer.
First of all, it was a known fact that Yoo Cheon-young and the owner were solo in the whole university, and Eun Ji-ho didn't want to reveal that I was dating, so there was no one to officially dating.
But the official couple, Yeeryeong and Eun-hyung, are stuck to this side, so they didn't want to leave those three. The male seniors called, the female seniors called, the male students called the male students, and the female students called.
Maybe because there was an official couple, we could drink relatively quietly and peacefully near us.
So to speak, if our drinking party is close to tea time, it was literally a fighting party.
I just heard Eun Ji-ho at the table right across the street. I held my ears tightly without realizing it.
"I didn't know it was the first time I've talked to you so much, but I'm a little surprised about your personality."
It was a female senior in the same age as me and a sophomore like Eun Ji-ho who said that.
The owner answered with a grin.
"That's right? He looks like he's unnecessarily cold."
"It's not me who looks cold that doesn't look suitable, but Yoo Cheon-young."
I heard Eun Ji-ho's voice.
He mumbled again.
"Everyone should know that he is a subtlely sloppy person."
I heard an answer from somewhere else.
"Real? He didn't have a poor game score, did he?"
"That's right, what kind of game score is all number one? I've never won the first place because of him."
And the sound of a grin, followed by Yoo Cheon-young, heard someone talking.
"Are you Hyun-ji? You don't do it, do you? It's obvious that the characters and items aren't all done."
"Wow, then can you help me just once? I'm so bad at this stage. I can't wait to wake up and show off to other kids."
Soon after, people flocked to the side where Yoo Cheon-young was.
Yoo Cheon-young, who was suddenly asked by people, received her cell phone while making a difficult face.
Meanwhile, the question came to Eun Ji-ho again. I turned my head
"Do you have any other club other than this club? I want to bring something that can help me with my resume, but I don't know anywhere. I'm thinking of getting a recommendation."
It was the girl earlier.
By the way, the reason is solid, but in the end, it's not that I want to do other club activities with Eun Ji-ho. I sprained my mouth
Am I taking it too sharply right now? No, but it's suspicious that the owner who accepts the words well has been away from a while ago, and keeps talking to Eun Ji-ho.
Eun Ji-ho responded in a way.
"No, I don't have any other clubs other than this. I'm busy just to build credits and do volunteer work."
"Oh, if it's volunteer work, are you aiming for overseas? I have a question about that, too......."
The owner interrupted with a smiling voice.
"If it's a club, there's also an invention club that I'm active in. If you work hard, you can graduate with a few patents by the time you graduate, and it's an atmosphere that helps each other well, so it will be a lot of help to your career?"
"Oh, is that so?"
She replied like that, but she didn't seem to be very interested.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho said it again.
"Don't think about going to your club. Because almost all of their clubs are gathered by engineering students. I heard you're a liberal arts college."
"Uh, uh..."
"Then it's hard to keep up. I don't know if I graduate with a few patents, if I graduate with only a few neurosis. Do you know the jokes about the club? I heard it a while ago, and it only made me laugh."
Eun Ji-ho, the K of the courtesy root M... Anyway, when he brought up the correlation between the intrinsic frequency and the car sickness, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
I frowned It's weird, I definitely didn't have that reaction when we talked to each other. Was that such a funny joke? Or is it the problem with the person who speaks?
In time, while everyone sneered at the owner that there was such a joke, I drank the beer all the way.
I, who put down the glass, mumbled again inside. No, but to be honest, Eun Ji-ho's attitude is a bit ridiculous.
You definitely didn't have that reaction when I approached you when I was in the third year of high school. Far from being that, I didn't know what to do if I could see all my black heart... But that senior doesn't feel anything like that at all, what?
Have you ever ever hated me on such a topic? It's funny.......
So enthusiastic about thinking, I didn't even know someone was coming up to me and sitting next to me.
I was surprised by the voice that flew from the side.
"Dana, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes?"
ugh that's a surprise When I hurriedly turned my head, there was Hyeongcheol, the president of this club, who was smiling.
"Oh, hello......."
Of course, there was a difference in school number between Kim Hyung-cheol, who was in class of class 08, and me in class 14, so that he couldn't go beyond it, but Kim Hyung-cheol was such a so lure to not to care about it.
Of course, it was difficult to deal with, and it should be difficult, but it was rather considered closer than the majority of people in the club. Even though we have a lot of opportunities to talk separately because we're the president of the club.
Kim Hyung-cheol said again to me as I bowed my head.
"Is it hard to live because of the assignment with the professor? Or because of the part-time boss or colleagues? which way is it ?
"Oh, no."
"Real? Usually, if newcomers are worried about it, it's around there."
"No, I just...... I thought this was water."
I didn't look around casually and shut my mouths together. no what's this You look like a drinker while trying to pretend to be calm.
Hyung-chul, who heard what I said, burst into laughter.
"Hey, Dan is scary. I already thought beer was water. How much did you go out to drink?"
"That, it's not like that."
"Drink slowly, no matter how much you have friends. Three out of five of my friends have left now."
I was upset by his mischievous teasing me.
oh senior When I cried, he finally stopped making fun of me and gave his seat to the person next to me.
When I saw the new person sitting next to me, I opened my eyes wide.
"Did you hear the introduction earlier? This is Kim Min-woo, the vice president of our club."
"Oh, hello."
I bowed my head awkwardly. Meanwhile, the senior next to me also smiled clumsily and only waved his hand.
The appearance of having no hand seemed to be more embarrassing than me, who is a junior.
Senior Hyung-cheol said behind him, who kept rubbing his back of his neck.
"Strangely, I don't have a lot of time, so there are quite a few people in the club who couldn't start the class and say hello. I'm going around with M.T. I'm telling you to say hello in advance and don't be shy. Oh, Minwoo. This is the 14th class. I entered the school a year late, so I'm the same age as Yeo-ryeong. do you remember ?
Min-woo, who was still squeaking his back neck, responded with a slightly bumpy voice.
"Of course I remember, it was last month that Yeo-ryeong came hand in hand and asked me to join."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Brother, I remember all the kids' faces and names. It's even more awkward to say hello like this."
"Oh, that, I'm all trying to help you. That's too much......."
Somehow, Hyung-cheol, who seemed to be really upset, grumbled, and then he was surprised and disappeared.
After he left for another table, Minwoo somehow leaned his back on the sofa with a tired expression.
Ye-ryeong, who saw it, asked, saying that.
"Are you going to stop wandering around and settle down here?"
"Uh, I'm already going around seven tables and I'm dying....... Now there is no more wandering in my dictionary. I did everything with the person I was going to say hello."
Then Minwoo looked at me and asked.
"Don't you remember me? I only saw it once when I entered the club, and I probably didn't see it anymore."
Suddenly, the arrow came back to me, so I was embarrassed.
"Oh, what? yes."
"I had to take a look at it earlier before I went to MT, but as Hyung-cheol said, I didn't have time...... I went to the army as soon as I finished my first grade and returned to school last year, so I'm in the third grade now."
I admired myself. Wow, then this senior went to the army as soon as he finished his first grade.
When is Eun Ji-ho going to be there? 3rd grade? 4th grade? I think it would have been okay if I had gone there right after the first grade like this senior. Then we could have been together comfortably for two years after going there. No, I'm going to prepare for studying abroad again at that time. What's wrong with me, so I was hectic like that?
I was thinking about this and that alone, and I suddenly asked.
"I heard that the third grade is the year of death, is that really?"
"It's different from department to department, but it's usually like that, isn't it?"
The atmosphere of this table was unusually quiet, or Min-woo was a quiet person, even though I met him for the first time, the atmosphere was quite comfortable.
I keep asking questions to predict Eun Ji-ho's life next year, and my phone suddenly rang.
yeah ? Isn't it Min-ah? what's up I took out my phone and told people.
"I'll go out for a while."
"Okay."
Leaving people's see-off behind, I left the bar.
I was about to come out and answer the phone, but I was in front of my eyes.
I wrapped my forehead with a lot of heat. I must have drank too fast. Eun Ji-ho was pissed off watching the amount at the table next to him...... Of all things, the phone call he called was not voice but a video call.
I hurriedly checked my face on the screen. Fortunately, it was dark, so I didn't seem to see the red complexion. Then I answered the phone.
"Hello?"
[Dan! Where are you! What are you doing now!]
Minah answered in an excited voice. Yoon Jung-in's shadow was reflected next to her.
At that time, familiar shadows that just couldn't pass were also captured.
I said
"I have a club get-together. what are you guys doing Not only Yoon Jung-in but also Shin Seo-hyun are with you right?"
[Yeah, me, Yoon Jung-in, and Shin Seo-hyun...... Jung Se-yeon and Ban Hwi-hyeol are also here.]
"Sore Seyeon and half-bloom?"
[You said we were going to get together a few days ago! I don't even reply.]
Following Min-ah's sloppy answer, I heard Yoon Jung-in's answer.
[No, baby. Hamdan replied at that time. Even then, you said you couldn't come to the club because of something.]
Then, Mina, who was sleepy and stared in his eyes, said again.
[Oh, did you? So, can't you come by taxi now? This is Sinchon.......]
I answered in a difficult time.
"Oh, I don't have to go, but I have to get back to school to take the bus by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. From tomorrow, I will go to Daegwallyeong and go to MT. What's the appearance is that, he's taking pictures outdoors......."
[Oh, what! Then I can't help it. OK bye.]
I hurriedly shouted when Minah, who raised one hand and said hello coolly, tried to hang up the phone.
"No! Shin Seo-hyun and Se-yeon, please change the half-brilliance. It's been a long time since I've seen them."
[Oh, them? Wait a minute, guys.......]
In time, I saw Shin Seo-hyun, Se-yeon, and half-brilliance on the screen. All three had the impression that they seemed to be doing much better than when they were in the first grade. Whether you've finally adapted to college life, or just your style has developed.
When I told him exactly what I felt, Shin Seo-hyun answered with a smile.
[No, to put it bluntly, I realized and accepted my own limitations.]
"What are you talking about? Did you write a philosophy class report?"
[The assignment you won't be able to do this week is just giving up and getting used to delaying.]
"Ah."
was that it I've been paying for it that week somehow, but I'm afraid I'll get used to it more in the second grade.
And I was about to talk to Seyeon and Banhwi-hyeol, but suddenly Banhwi-hyeol asked.
[What is that next to you?]
"What?"
I was surprised when I looked around at the solemn tone of Ban Hwi-hyeol.
A white spirit buried in the dark was staring at me with blue eyes. It wasn't until a while later that I realized that it was Yoo Cheon-young.
oh I'm surprised I made an impression and patted his arm.
"You were surprised. I'll give you some sign."
"I just came out, too."
Yoo Cheon-young said calmly without any resentful sign. Then Seyeon shouted cheerfully from beyond the screen. Oh, it's Yoo Cheon-young! hi !
As soon as that, the other side became noisy once again. what ? Yoo Cheon-young? where are you really
In time, Min-ah and Yoon Jung-in greeted each other with their faces on the screen.
[Wow, how did you become more handsome! Do you have a girlfriend?]
[Yeah, Cheon Young-ah. Do you have a girlfriend?]
Even though he doesn't have any expression like this, it was one of the amazing things about Yoo Cheon-young to bring out a loud response.
When Yoo Cheon-young raised her head, Mina-ah shouted again.
[Cheonyoung, please conquer Asia with that face! Can do it, Asian star!]
[Honey, I'm very drunk. What is the star of Cheonyoung? Let's go to the black hole of deadly charm!]
[Let's go!]
I think both of them are unusually drunk, so no, Yoon Jung-in is a person who can spit out such a line with a bare mind, but I don't think it's Mina, so I decided to hang up the phone for her the next day who might be embarrassed.
In addition, the surroundings became more noisy, so I could hardly hear what you were talking about.
After switching video calls to voice calls, I hung up the phone with a word to see you in the near future.
Then he raised his head, and Yoo Cheon-young was still lingering nearby, like a lost person.
I asked
"Why did you come out here? I don't think you came out to smoke."
you don't smoke Yoo Cheon-young nodded at what I said.
"Just to get some fresh air. And you went out alone."
"Ahhh."
"So there's something that followed."
I see . I was drunk and my head was still dizzy. I sat down and was dazed for a moment, looking at the convenience store light across the street. Then Yoo Cheon-young also stood still looking at the same place as me.
At that time, some college students who were talking about peeling ice cream in front of a convenience store found us. I wondered if there was a low murmur, and then one of them crossed the road and came here.
"Hey, can you give me the number?"
"There's someone who's in the company."
Yoo Cheon-young lied without blinking a blink of an eye. This aspect was also the part where I felt Yoo Cheon-young's growth the most. In the past, I couldn't lie, so I would have turned my head away without saying a word.
You don't know that it won't solve it anymore. Or that you realize that a drunk person can't be so innocent.
At Yoo Cheon-young's resolute answer, the person who stepped down with a dissatisfied face suddenly stared at me.
No, why me? Whether I'm ridiculous or not, he went back to his party and disappeared after a while.
As they left, I glanced alone on the stairs leading to the bar.
It's time for Eun Ji-ho to come out.
Because I was keeping dating a secret, Eun Ji-ho couldn't follow me right away even when I came out. I'd rather be a simple friend like Yoo Cheon-young, but it's not, so my feet are numb. I think it's better to be careful than to be care.
well no I realized
In the situation of fighting like this, if you're outside like this, the only sign that the two of you can talk, should I go in first before Eun Ji-ho comes out? OK that would be good I haven't thought about it until now.
When I got up from the seat where I was crouched, I was about to tell him to go in with the dust, and Yoo Cheon-young suddenly opened her mouth.
I raised my head
"Celing, release it."
"Yeah?"
Are you saying what you want me to break up as if you want me to release the knot? When I blinked at the absurdity, he said again.
"I didn't even know it happened because I was as drunk as you that day. You remember, the conversation we had because we were so drunk that day."
I lifted the tip of my eyebrows. I asked in doubt.
"Really? But you've never seen a drunken video."
"No."
"Really?"
"Yes. We don't have any group chat rooms without you. What you see is all about the conversation between us."
That's right...... I was doing a good job, but why didn't you make a separate group chat room?
But it felt good that they didn't have a conversation without knowing me. Besides, it was a lot of fun to read the delayed conversations every time I came out of the Jae-soo academy. There were too many cases where I couldn't read it all.
At that time, Yoo Cheon-young suddenly said.
"Oh, no. There is one."
"Hey. Are you going to change your words right away like this?"
"But when I picked your birthday present, it was not to overlapped... After your birthday, the chat room died right away."
Oh, that's the case.
When I shut up again, there was silence. As the motorcycle passed by us with a loud noise, Yoo Cheon-young grabbed my arm and made me get out of the way to the side of the road.
After the loud exhaustion moved away, he spoke again.
"So, please let me go."
"Well, to be honest, there's no problem with what I just heard."
I rolled my eyes for a moment, I held my head forward and whispered.
"I can see the owner and Eun Ji-ho."
Then he frowned and asked tremblingly at me.
"Why do you tie me up with them? I'm a childhood friend with Kwon Eun-hyung."
"Oh, that's true, but..."
At that time, Yoo Cheon-young suddenly said it again.
"And I...... no more. You, no, I'm going to travel with you."
"Yeah? Where are you leaving?"
"No, it's not that."
Yoo Cheon-young, who was trying to explain something, closed her mouth as if she was embarrassed.
What the hell does that mean? I was about to ask like that, I soon realized.
By the way, both Yeo-ryeong and I have a boyfriend named Eun-hyung and Eun Ji-ho, so it may be considerably reduced to travel together.
Of course, we will take the time to travel together at least once a year, but it will be different from a trip between lovers. Then, one day you may have to give up one side's trip.
As I lowered my eyes, Yoo Cheon-young said again.
"We might go on a trip together again, but it's harsh not to talk at all."
"That's..."
At that time, Yoo Cheon-young suddenly had a distracted look on her face. He sighed, smating his nose with his long fingers and added.
"No, forget about it."
"What?"
"All the things I just said..."
it was then Someone came up with the sound of footsteps standing next to me.
it was Eun Ji-ho
"Did you blow the wind enough?"
Obviously, the 'wind' he's referring to is literally meant, but I was uncomfortable because of the atmosphere that just went to and from this alley.
Yoo Cheon-young blinked indifferently a few times like a threfoot-fall doll and replied.
"Since you're here, I'm going."
"No, you don't have to go in such a hurry... Are you avoiding me now?"
Despite the question that Eun Ji-ho seemed ridiculous, Yoo Cheon-young turned around and went down the stairs to the bar.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared, and Eun Ji-ho, who had been standing there for a while, looked back at me. The distinctive black eyes were as hard as the skin overturned, so I couldn't read anything.
A damp wind passed through us. Only then did he take off his lips.
"While I was away, nothing happened, right?"
Are you telling me what kind of conversation just happened between me and Yoo Cheon-young? After ponding for a moment, I realized that he was simply asking for my safety, I barely answered.
"Yes. There's no problem other than the person in front of the convenience store and asking for Yoo Cheon-young's number."
"Is that so?"
"Haha, what are you worried about. No one knows if it's you or Yoo Cheon-young, they're not interested in me. Didn't you hear from Kim Hye-woo how peaceful my life at the academy was?"
I suddenly realized that I was talking with a big smile. Oops, I was upset by Eun Ji-ho right now. But I was talking so comfortably that I drank.
I was about to tell him to pat my legs and go in, Eun Ji-ho mumbled.
"I don't think so."
And he said it again before I even asked him.
"What time are you going to go home later? Let the car wait in advance."
"Yeah?"
"You're going to drive with me, aren't you?"
I stood blankly for a while because I didn't know what to answer for a while because of Eun Ji-ho asked for granted.
I mumbled, I guess it's not only me that I forgot what happened before, but this one too.
and I said
"I'm not going with you today."
This is an answer that should have been expected enough, but Eun Ji-ho said, frowning his eyebrows as if he had encountered something absurd.
"You're late. It's already past ten."
"Oh, I see. I should wake up in an hour longer. If you want to take the subway to go home."
When I checked the watch and said so calmly, Eun Ji-ho frowned again.
"Why aren't you going with me?"
Then I looked at him. I thought that conversation would have conveyed enough of my feelings a while ago, wasn't it? I scratched my head in a difficult mind and opened my mouth again.
"I'm not serious about preaching, but it's true that I'm quite disappointed with that. So I don't want to talk for a while."
Eun Ji-ho was ready to say something, so I stopped talking with a hand gesture and said it again.
"I know, that's not a big deal between us. It was also posted on the group chat room of Eun-hyung's drunk video yesterday this morning. But that's it, and I've been filming that video and I've been unaware of anything for a year and a half where I can't have a cell phone."
"......."
"And most of all, I hate that you haven't said anything to me before. You don't have to expect it from other people, you can only expect it from you."
because he's a boyfriend
Even with my words, Eun Ji-ho still didn't say anything. As I was looking at him weakly, I slowly looked down and wrapped my face with both hands.
Oh, most of all, it's originally in the group chat room, 'When you get married, you put it on at the wedding hall.', 'If you have a boyfriend, I'll show you this.' It's coming up with the same threat. But he's already been watching it for a year and a half, so I'm most angry that he can't even touch it.
And I said when I looked up again.
"Now I know that it's no use telling you not to come and tell you that, or if you're angry, it's no use. But I'm not confident that I'm going to move on casually when this topic comes back to me later. So let's keep a distance for a while until the disappointment is resolved. Is that so difficult?."
"......I am."
Even though I said it quite a bit, Eun Ji-ho's voice was still low.
I frowned and looked at him with a puzzle.
He was staring at somewhere in a dark alley and spoke slowly.
"To me, how important it is to take you. I think I explained it enough before."
I couldn't tell if his voice was strangely low because he was angry, or if it contained a warning.
I frowned even more. The electronic woman was also a problem, but it was even more problematic for the latter. Because that means he's putting pressure on me now that I'm not going the way I want.
I answered
"I know that...... But, your anxiety is about a threat that doesn't exist anymore. But even now that existence doesn't matter anymore, I have to take the same car as you regardless of my feelings...... I don't think it's a bit."
I wanted to say it as hard as I could, but I couldn't help it because my voice sank as I ended up.
Hey, your lover doesn't respect your feelings properly, and there's no one who won't be angry even subt. Am I making a request that I can't do right now? I thought for a moment. No, I don't think so.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho said again.
"Three times that I almost lost you right in front of my nose, three times. By the way......."
As if to get rid of the emotion, he spoke with a beat.
"My anxiety is about a threat that no longer exists, it's just a rain...... How can I guarantee it?"
Oops, I frowned.
This is a bit...... It's very degrading. It's just taking me, but it's about what almost lost me.
But it still hasn't changed that the work has nothing to do with the present.
I opened my mouth and replied.
"At that time, there was a definite risk factor. not now But don't try to persuade me while talking about the old days. I can really go home by myself. If you arrive at the station and are scared, you can call your dad."
"How did your last year happen in the old days?"
Eun Ji-ho raised his voice. No matter what, when I wasn't persuaded, the stuffiness of the gear seemed to soar.
When he raised his voice first, I cried as well. I said inadvertently.
"In that case, it's not the old days that you weren't interested in me either."
Just like what others said, my words were delivered to my ears a beat late. Lately, my complexion became pale.
what to do ? made a mistake No matter how drunk you are, there's nothing else to be questioned. Even if Eun Ji-ho got nervous and brought up the past, I shouldn't have done that too.......
I raised my head nervously. Eun Ji-ho, standing in front of me, had a look as if he had been stabbed by a knife.
He frowned and asked.
"What......?"
I had to stop, I thought so, but I couldn't stop the words that were stuck in one side of my head from flowing out.
I didn't stop stuttering and spoke.
"You said you never didn't care about me, never liked me, but...... how do I believe that? You......".
The attitude and tone you just said to others.......
"The way you treat people you don't know now is many times more kind than you were when you were."
After a short silence, Eun Ji-ho sighed as if it was ridiculous and swept his hair. He seemed to really didn't know what to do with my words.
In time, he asked with a grin.
"Hamdan. You mean that, seriously?"
I didn't answer Then Eun Ji-ho, who kept straping through his hair, said again.
"Dah. You said you were rude to me earlier, but you know you were rude."
"......."
"If you say it with my attitude at that time, you know I have no choice but to lose to you."
Of course I knew.
But first of all, I'm going to mention work, and I can't believe that I'm safe, so isn't it Eun Ji-ho who told me to get in his car calmly?
I was frowning and listening, so I opened my mouth.
"That just said...... was a mistake. I'm sorry But you, too, I don't understand doing this because of last year's work. I know you're anxious, but that's true......."
I couldn't clear my thoughts in my head, so I stopped talking for a while, and Eun Ji-ho looked at me silently.
A little while later, I added.
"You're forcing me not for my safety right now, but for your peace of mind. We can't be like this every time we fight in the future."
Then Eun Ji-ho cut his hair again with a look of disappointment.
There has been a fairly long silence between the alleys where we stand. Then it seemed that a certain determination finally entered Eun Ji-ho's head. Or you barely regained your reason when you left home for a while because of anxiety.
In time, Eun Ji-ho, who raised his head, resigned and said.
"Okay. I understand what you mean But...... no, no. First of all, I'm going back in now."
"Yes."
"Let's go together."
I nodded calmly. I don't know if we were going to get in the car together like he said for the first time, that kind of companionship was not burdensome for me.
Besides, I don't know if we came out together from the beginning and went in together, and if we ran into each other in front of us and talked about it, and then we wouldn't seem strange. Also, because of Ban Yeo-ryeong's active attitude, Eun Ji-ho and Ban Yeo-ryeong all fought, and I misunderstood that I was just embroiled.
When I silently went down the stairs first, Eun Ji-ho followed me at intervals. The names of couples with sparsely engraved on the dirty wall were somehow strongly stuck in my eyes.
Are those people still getting along well? Or did we break up? Have you ever seen that graffiti even after we broke up? What did you think after seeing it? Wouldn't you regret engraving that? After all, they are completely unrelated to us, but it's a useless idea. I sighed lightly.
I came down and looked at the table, and fortunately my seat was still there. However, the owner was bored when Eunjiho disappeared, and Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung were sitting at the table and asking them to pour a drink, and thanks to that, there were quite a lot of people around. Min-woo also said he didn't like the noise, so he kept his seat.
You can't see Yoo Cheon-young, right? While I was wandering around, the owner who made eye contact with me smiled and went back to his seat.
Well, you fought with me, not with Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung. The three of us are going to play, but I can't stop them. I shrugged and squeated into my slightly narrowed seat.
I asked Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung.
"Where did Yoo Cheon-young go? I can't see it now?"
It was Eun-hyung who answered.
"Oh, I went home. I heard that Shin-hyun is nearby and is coming to pick him up."
"Oh, I see."
I thought to myself. Yoo Cheon-young's family, who have already boasted of free-wayism since she was in high school, couldn't have put a curfew now, and they went on my feet.
why is it because it's awkward That's worth it....... I scratched my head, and Minwoo asked next to me.
"You haven't been here for a long time, where have you been?"
"Yes? Oh, I just went out in front and ran into my friends."
"Real? You're not already drunk, are you? When I think about it, I sat at the same table as you, but I never did it."
Saying that, he lifted the glass. Oh, by the way. I hurriedly followed him and picked up the glass. On the other side, Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung also raised the glass.
We were about to bump into a glass, and a conversation came from another table.
Everyone was toasting and just starting to drink, so the sound of speech was even better as the surroundings became relatively quiet.
"So...... Honestly, do you have a girlfriend, don't you? It's time to tell you."
The opponent of a male senior's question was not Eun Ji-ho. Then she said to me, a senior and a motive to Eun Ji-ho.
"That's right, humanly tell me now! My children keep asking me. I heard I've never talked to you before. Everyone is, I'm also curious for nothing."
Despite being anxious around him, Eun Ji-ho was calm. On the other hand, if you think I're going to say it as me, I thought you were using the expression that your heart was burning.
How on earth are you going to answer? Even if you point out me by saying that you actually have it, I didn't care much about what I decided to reveal at this MT anyway.
But in the situation of fighting with me, Eun Ji-ho couldn't do such a thing. Anyway, he tried to put my doctor first the whole time we were dating.
When I thought about it, I remembered the conversation we had exchanged earlier, and my head was pounding again. But why can't I just do that about the way I go home?
As I quietly pressed the temple, Eun Ji-ho replied.
"There is."
"What? really ?
There was a mess around. My speed was that much of a mess.
Eun Ji-ho, the cause of the commotion, still spoke with an indifferent face.
"I was keeping it a secret around because it was CC, but it's already been a month since the class started, so it's troublesome to hide it, so I was trying to reveal it soon."
Finally, he glanced down and added with an unknowable voice.
"But I got a fight just before I went to MT, so I don't know what will happen."
"Wow......."
Everyone was at the unexclaimed concrete information.
In time, other questions poured out. Did you fight because you're going to MT? don't go If it's a secret, and CC?
To those questions, Eun Ji-ho only laughed, saying, 'Know and think.'
Meanwhile, I made an impression without realizing it and slapped their table. I hope it's my illusion that the facial expressions of some people, including the female student, have become noticeable.
I'm usually polite, but I'm good at speaking in a way that doesn't give me thoroughly, but what do you mean?
That must, I'm going to be single soon, so if you want to dash, it means now is an opportunity....... No, of course I wouldn't have said it with that intention. There will be people who really think so and aim for it.
I finally jumped up from my seat. With the embarrassed eyes of Yeo-ryong, Eun-hyung, and Min-woo senior, and the people sitting at the same table, I declared as calmly as possible.
"Oh, I don't even know that time has already been like this, so I'll go in before the car hangs off."
"Oh, that's right. Dan lives in Gyeonggi-do, right? Be careful on your way in."
Reclointing my head while being greeted by some people, I just left the bar. Fortunately, Eun Ji-ho didn't hold on to me like before, acting like he was ridiculously stubborn.
Walking to the station with only my shadow, I mumbled. I don't know what the hell I'm doing or what I want to do. I really don't know.
Of course, I got home safely. I was going to let Eun Ji-ho know that, but I just put up with it because I thought I would fight again if I did something wrong.
In the tumult of filling the whole room, I struggled and stayed up all night, and when I came to my senses, the sunlight was seeping through the curtains.
I murmured when I opened the curtains, saw the sky that was completely bright.
"Oh, it's really screwed..."
* * *
I felt very upset when I was going to school to take the bus to Daegwallyeong early on Saturday morning.
If I hadn't had happened yesterday, I would have been excited to go to MT and play. But this situation is like the drama I watched yesterday was cut off when the conflict reached its peak, but suddenly a special broadcast was organized and it was closed for a week.
I can't sleep because I can't sleep yesterday because I keep thinking nonsense. I don't think I slept at all, did you sleep for about three hours? two hours ? I was about to stand at the meeting place, rubbing my eyes, and a familiar face greeted me.
Unfortunately, they haven't even memorized their names yet, so they barely made a statement and exchanged numbers. After that, one person said they were buying a drink, so they all flocked to the convenience store together.
I chose a vitamin drink to survive. When each person took a drink in his mouth and left the convenience store again, more than half of the people had already gathered at the meeting place.
Among them, Yeo-ryeong, Eun-hyung, and Yoo Cheon-young were also involved. Yoo Cheon-young, who still loses her mind in the morning, was lying down as if she had been buried on the bench.
When I saw that, I applauded and said.
"Wow, Eun-hyung's power is great. I can't believe you brought Yu Cheon-young, who hasn't even opened her eyes yet, 10 minutes before the meeting time."
"Haha, Cheonyoung woke up well, well."
Even though he said that, Eun-hyung looked proud of his face.
Yeo-ryeong waved her hand at Yoo Cheon-young's nose, saying that she would test whether she really can see anything.
While looking at the figure, I suddenly looked around and asked.
"What about Eun Ji-ho?"
Eun-hyung made a surprised look on his face.
"Uh? Jiho, haven't you come yet? It usually comes in ten minutes before the latest, but it's weird."
Ye-ryeong also looked back this way and said.
"I know. You keep your time promise like a knife, Eun Ji-ho."
At the words of the two people, I couldn't understand English even more. is it ? But he's not coming yet because he's doing something somewhere?
I've already been looking at the chat room that hasn't been to a new message for three days, and I was wondering whether I should send a message or not. At that time, I saw a familiar Inyoung across the road.
"Uh."
Someone who had been watching you all the time exclaimed.
I was also impressed. Indeed, the silver hair is amazing in the explicitness. I can recognize it no matter how many people there are.
Eun Ji-ho, who came across the crowd on Saturday morning, bowed his head.
"I'm sorry for being late."
Hyung-cheol, who just arrived at him, burst into laughter. He shook his hand and said.
"What's late? If you're late, there are a lot of late people here. More than ten people haven't come yet."
"Yes...... Do you have anything for me?"
"No, the world is getting better these days, so I put heavy luggage in advance in the accommodation. All you have to do is go and get it. The car is here, get on quickly."
Indeed, a huge bus spiraled towards us and stopped.
For a moment, the smell of smoke mixed with dust, the smell of oil, etc. mixed up and then calmed down. With a small cough, I fixed my backpack and headed to the bus door.
Just before getting on the bus, I slapped Eun Ji-ho. Were you angry because I didn't drive with him yesterday? Or because he said he didn't like me in the past? That was definitely an angry word. No matter how much I apologized right after.
Does Eun Ji-ho want to sit side by side with me on the bus? Then it reminded me that I didn't even decide who to sit with.
Of course, I thought I should sit with Yeo-ryeong, but after all, Yeo-ryeong went with Eun-hyung for a year without me. I don't feel good because I think it's going to be a rolled stone that pulls out a stuck stone.......
But if you don't sit with Yeo-ryeong, who will you sit with instead? the owner ? If that happens, Yoo Cheon-young and Eun Ji-ho should sit together, but I don't think it's a good thing for each other... But it doesn't make sense to sit with Eun Ji-young with Eun Ji-ho.
My concern is that Yeo-ryeong, who ran first and settled down, said, 'Dah! come here ! Come on!' And it was simply solved by shouting.
I sighed with relief and sat down next to me.
Ye-ryeong was so excited that I asked.
"Dane, have you seen Yang? I've never seen a sheep, even if I've ever seen a horse."
"Me too. Wait, have you ever been to experience learning when you were young? When I was in elementary school...... Oh, is that a goat?"
"That was a goat. When we went to our farmhouse experience learning. If you look at it, I think it's hard to see the sheep. There were more opportunities to see rare animals than that."
Then Yeo-ryeong suddenly turned an arrow to Yoo Cheon-young, who was sitting in the back seat.
"Yu Cheon-young, how far have you seen the animals? You traveled abroad often."
"Dinosaur. . . . .
"Dinosaur?!"
To me and Yeo-ryeong, who were shocked and couldn't say anything, Eun-hyung, who smiled embarrassed, said.
"That's probably talking about the model dinosaurs I saw at the dinosaur fair when I was young."
"Ahhh."
"And what is certain is that Cheonyoung still wakes up less. come on Cheon Young-ah Sleep with a pillow on your neck."
As Eun-hyung took out the neck pillow from the top of the backpack as if he was used to it, Yoo Cheon-young, who put it in her neck, leaned against her back and immediately fell asleep.
The owner said to me and Yeo-ryeong, who were laughing at the sight.
"I've been to the dinosaur fair, too."
"Is there such a thing? Even though I've heard of science fairs, it's the first time I've heard of dinosaur fairs."
When I answered obediently, the owner said this and that with a more relieved face.
And yet, while we were in the midst of talking, Eun Ji-ho never interrupted.
I looked at his eyes in the middle of speaking. At this point, I can't even interrupt you, but why are you so quiet?
Oh, I'm not serious about the break from school yesterday, but it's true that I'm disappointed, so don't talk to me for a while? But I'm not the only one talking right now, it's natural to talk to the owner or Yeo-ryeong... Even if you look at my attitude, you'll know that you've been relieved to some extent.
Or is the reason you keep your mouth shut because you're not because I was angry with me yesterday, but because you were angry with me? Then even if I talk to you first, it may sound like you're using your own heart, and you might feel bad.
so what do you say 'You were embarrassed today, right? I'm sorry for being so angry.' Changing your attitude in one day is like proof that I was swept away by my mood yesterday and said it impulsively.
But it wasn't necessarily impulsive.
Even though I expressed my feelings of disappointment, it was a part to point out once that I raised my voice that we couldn't go back together because of my own anxiety.......
While I was biting my lips thinking like that, the singing contest suddenly started on the bus.
The whole club was not forced unless they voluntarily stepped forward, so the cheerful people took the initiative to set the atmosphere. Thanks to this, I was able to have fun without thinking while going to Daegwallyeong.
For a while, I arrived at the accommodation, put down my luggage, and while I was getting ready for the shoot, I gradually got dark clouds in my heart.
I took out the camera and hung it around my neck and sighed. oh what should I do That's a big deal...... I think this fight will last quite a long time if I don't reconcile with Eun Ji-ho during this MT.
But I still didn't think of the number I deserved.
I packed my equipment with a heavy heart and headed outside.
* * *
A sensitive person said that he could feel the difference between the sky seen on land and the sky seen from the island, and the difference between sunlight and wind, but unfortunately I didn't.
I think it's similar to Jeju Island, this was the only impression I got when I came to Daegwallyeong. Maybe it's because there's an ocean not far from here.
A mountain with a mountain facing the sky, a wide open meadow, and a sparsely standing wind direction. There were a lot of ranches around, and sometimes the wind smelled unknown.
But when I had a chance, the wind that wrapped my hair up and the straight sunlight made me feel good.
Also, most of all, the weather was so nice. Everyone looked at the sky without clouds and said, 'If it rains, it's a real disaster, but you don't have to worry about the rain.' and rejoiced
The easiest mistake for a beginner to make is to quickly capture the scene in front of him, so he doesn't adjust the setting value of the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc., but I know it with my head, but it was so hard to adjust each cut separately.
Most of all, it was especially because I decided to take a butterfly with the theme of 'love'.
why butterfly is good The moment I felt the friendliest, I moved away, and now I'm barely going to leave.
No matter how carefully I tried to take a picture from a distance, the butterfly flew away if it was enough to take a picture, and if it was enough to take a picture, it flew away.
Maybe even that was really similar. I sighed deeply with my sense of distortion and disappointment.
At that time, I heard the voices of my seniors and other classmates not far away.
"Sejeong, I'm going to re-adjust the setting value before filming. Even if you didn't move a few steps, the light and environment have changed. And the angle you take."
"But if you don't take a picture now, the butterfly will fly away."
"It's okay. If a butterfly sits unexpectedly once, it doesn't fly so easily......."
"Oh, what is it! You flew away! Because of my senior's nose."
"No, what a runny nose! Ji's heart...... He flew away from his heart!"
To the fluttering senior, other seniors said, 'Jaewon's nose was wrong.', 'Yes.' I made fun of it.
Haha while smiling, I quietly moved my seat. I think other kids have decided on the theme butterfly. I should just do something else.
But since there are only grass and fences everywhere, the problem was that the theme was limited. If you're a true master, you can draw dozens or hundreds of compositions in one topic, so you won't worry about this.
Hmm, what are you filming? fence ? 'Love is a redemption.......' It's like a copy of the drama and it's okay. No, but if you announce something like that, you won't be able to tell this club that you're going out with Eun Ji-ho until you graduate.
Then I suddenly remembered someone's words that I could see the sea somewhere here. It seems like that because the area here is quite high.
I took a tripod and walked again. It would be better than being dead here, so I thought I'd go there first. Actually, looking at the sea won't make any idea come to mind, but at least you'll feel better.
I asked a few people and I barely found the location of the hill where I could see the sea.
When I went there, there were surprisingly few people, and only one person was sitting in the wind blowing.
As if he had no intention of taking pictures, the camera was left on the nearby grass.
Just by looking at the silver hair swaying in the dazzling sunlight, I could tell who he was.
I laughed in my heart. Really, I think I'm a difficult person to get confused with anyone else.
and I asked
"Eun Ji-ho?"
"Yes."
I didn't even call my name. Just answering briefly, he turned his head again and looked at the sea.
My heart cramped in an instant, as if someone had put it on her neck. You're angry, I thought so, but I got closer to him.
Silence embraced both of us. After a while, I asked carefully.
"Did you take a picture?"
"Yes."
The answer without much concern came back.
I took courage and asked again.
"What did you take?"
"Can you teach me?"
"What?"
Is this an extension of revenge by any chance? I frowned on my eyebrows.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho, who suddenly looked back at me, raised the corner of one of his mouth and smiled.
I suddenly stopped breathing. The blue sky, the sea overlooking the hill, and his kneeling on the hill and smiling, he looks so perfect to say it's a reality.
Why shouldn't I take a picture of a person in a subject? I thought so at that moment.
Obviously, for me, there can be no more analogy than this.
Then I came to my senses when I heard Eun Ji-ho, who flew back.
"You've already given enough hints, right?"
"What?"
"Think about it."
Even if I said that, I couldn't think of anything. I was thinking about it while stinging my eyebrows, and Eun Ji-ho suddenly shook his pants and woke up.
He picked up the camera and said to me, looking up blankly.
"Then I'll go first."
"What?"
It's not Eunjiho who usually leaves me alone, but he said that and walked down the hill slowly.
Standing blankly for a while, I shouted in a hurry.
"Wait a minute, let's talk."
Then he looked back at me again.
"Are you angry because of what I said yesterday?"
"Hwa? No, I've never been angry."
Eun Ji-ho answered as if he was a bit surprised, but it seemed to me that his attitude was rather an end to anger. Or, after analyzing your feelings for too long, you move on to the next step, disappointment.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho said it again.
"This is just...... I know, I just. I need some time to think. Just like you did."
"Yeah......."
"It's not that I'm angry at all, so don't worry."
Eun Ji-ho said in a soothingly soft tone, but I couldn't calm down at all.
When he saw me with a strange expression on his face, Eun Ji-ho made a difficult face, but at the end, he left me and went down the hill first.
I was standing alone on the hill in the wind for a while.
The whole time I came back to my accommodation, there was only confusion in my mind. what is it what the hell What is the perfect and distant smile that seemed to be about 0.5 dimensions away in an instant, and what does it mean you need time to think about it?
I asked to keep my distance until my disappointment subsided, but I didn't ask for time to think. That's what the brigade brother said just before he broke up with me...... Depending on the outcome of your thoughts, the direction between us will be different, so do you mean to wait calmly until the conclusion comes out? isn't it Am I thinking too much like a previous relationship?
Did Eun Ji-ho also accept my words with the same meaning before? But which of the two words, 'Give me time to think' and 'Let's keep a distance until the annoyed sink' sound more ominous, isn't it usually an electronic?
oh it's hard I'd like someone to give me a lover language translator. It's a state-of-the-art era, and it's worth doing something like that. But isn't it useless because everyone's database is different?
So I wish I could know if Eun Ji-ho's 'Give me time to think' means the same thing as when he was a brigade brother, or if it means something different. I held the neck of the T-shirt and stretched it with a feeling of frustration.
At that time, the senior who was in the room in advance found me at the entrance instead of coming out. She said, 'Uh.' I pretended to know.
I lowered my eyes. Because he was the person I didn't want to run into the most right now.
It was the girl who kept talking to Eun Ji-ho yesterday.
I don't know my pace, she spoke with a bright face.
"Is it hot? do you want some water I put it in the refrigerator. Or I have mine, too."
I was so embarrassed that I looked up at her blankly.
I didn't know yesterday because the bar lights were dark and there was a table away, but it was a very good and friendly impression. Something like a positive brilliance seemed to flow through her face.
I thought it would be hard for anyone to be harsh on her. Eun Ji-ho wasn't particularly sweet to her.
And I answered with my head raised.
"Yes? no it's OK It's not hot, it's just a bit cramped."
"Oh, that's right. The camera is heavier than I thought, so my throat hurts, right? I'm sweating on the necklace, so it's hot."
She looked at me with the eyes of a soft match waiting for an answer. But I really didn't want to mix words with her. It was good to say that it was qualified.
As she said, I made an excuse for the camera, and barely wandered into the room by saying I should take a rest.
The room was a structure where the pasture could be seen at a glance through the terrace. Three or four schoolgirls were leaning against the wall, as if they were missing their own. They don't seem to have the strength to touch a finger, but even in the meantime, they looked at me and pretended to know me.
Another senior looked at me and asked.
"Did Dan take a lot of pictures? You took a picture of a butterfly."
"Oh, how did you know?"
When I opened my eyes round and asked, she smiled a little and answered.
"You, Sejeong, and I were chasing something with a camera. So I looked it up right away. Did you get even one sheet?"
"No."
"That's right? Originally, outdoor shooting is difficult. We don't often take pictures only indoors in our daily life, so it's unfamiliar to adjust the setting value. But if you want to take a picture of something alive, the difficulty will run twice as much."
"Wow."
If I thought it was that difficult, I wouldn't even try. It was already good to see how disappointed Hyung-cheol would look at me in Critic time.
Everyone laughed a lot when they saw me with their shoulders down.
"One or two newcomers who couldn't get a single sheet of them while trying to take a picture of a creature in the outdoor shoot they were the first time. This is also an experience, well. I've done the most difficult thing first, so it'll be easier next time, think positively."
"Yes."
"Did you take some pictures of Sejeong?"
A schoolgirl called Sejeong answered with a camera out.
"Oh, Jaewon senior keeps helping me by my side..."
"Isn't he interested in you?"
Sejeong jumped.
"It's no way! And I have a boyfriend."
"That's too bad. Poor Jaewon."
The atmosphere that flowed with teasing was a sudden person who said, 'Oh, that's right!' And it changed with a pair of claps.
Then everyone's attention was focused on me.
"Dan, did we have something to ask you? But in some cases, you might feel a little bad, so just tell me you can't answer."
"Yes? yes what is it
I asked even though I was a little embarrassed.
There's a high probability that question is because of something rumor, but if so, it was better to know the content than not knowing it. I thought it was not a big deal, so I left it still, but sometimes it spreads so much that I can't hold it. Of course, I'll get some stress.
Then they told me again.
"That's because I thought it would be better to ask the university where the rumors are already spread, but in fact, we don't have the right to know this. So I think it would be better to ask you first."
My heart was pounding. The fact that there are rumors in the whole university is that you were in the university town with Eun Ji-ho last weekend. Did you see your acquaintances? I didn't think there was no possibility at all, I just didn't care because MT would reveal it soon anyway.
But if that's true, can I tell you that I'm dating Eun Ji-ho? As expected, would it be better to just mess up and ask Eun Ji-ho for a doctor? because he did too
By the time I came to that conclusion in my heart, I finally got a question.
"Is it true that Eun Ji-ho's secret relationship partner, Kim Hye-Hill in the same department?"
"......yes?"
I asked late. Really, where did such a ridiculous rumor come from? Above all, these people don't have any contact with Kim Hye-Hill, but where on earth did the name come from?
Sejeong, who was standing next to her, tilted her head. She asked in a puzzled way.
"By the way, who is Kim Hye-Hill? I have no idea who it is even if I hear the name. are you famous Or rich?"
"Don't you know Kim Hye-hill? Part-time job at the cafe 'Mizerere' at the back door. I often do it on weekday afternoons."
"I always go to the school cafe or the front door..."
"Oh, yeah. Sejeong's family is far from the back door."
One senior spoke as if he was convinced, and then another senior said.
"Wot, I was a little nervous about it, but I think I know who it is. He, it's him, right? It's a black short hair and very white skin, so it looks a bit like Snow White, and the white shirt and black apron look really good on you."
"That's right, that person."
"Wow, I thought I wanted to get a real number while looking at him. Just seeing him a little makes me excited, and there's something that makes me want to be close to him. why ?
I interrupted at that time.
It's good for these people to know Kim Hye-Hill's charm, but I thought it would have to correct that the wrong information was going up and down anyway. Above all, you must hate Kim Hye-Hill a lot. Even Eun Ji-ho would.
I asked
"Why did you say something like that? No, I mean, I think the reason would have turned around when such a rumor came out......."
"Uh? Uh, that's......."
While one senior couldn't talk, another senior interrupted.
"Oh, that was the reason. Even if Kim Hye-Hill and Eun Ji-ho didn't sit together, they did the class together on purpose."
"Yes?"
"I don't know much about the business administration curriculum, but finance...... What? Anyway, I heard that they only listen to three or four subjects that are almost a book of memorizing? Including advanced subjects that you don't usually listen to when you're in the second grade. But this time, Eun Ji-ho said he was in a secret relationship, so I thought the rumor was true."
"Wow, but that's really questionable. There are three or four subjects in which the exam is one book."
Sejeong was impressed. It was certainly a rumor with enough probability that I would admire what I heard, but.......
I thought about it for a while. Eun Ji-ho doesn't want to avoid the object being specific by using Kim Hye-heil as a smoke screen, right? No, more than that, I like Hye-hil's face to leave the rumors unattended like this.
In the end, I opened my mouth.
"That rumor is...... it's not true."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes. It's still hard to tell you why, but..."
I added calmly. The first reason I know the rumor is not true is because Eun Ji-ho's secret relationship is old, so I couldn't make an excuse.
Most of all, I didn't want to be in the club after the secret relationship was revealed. But it's quite fun, people are good, and at least I want to keep working until I'm busy.
"It would be better not to ask Eun Ji-ho. I can assure you that it's not even in my line."
"Oh, I see."
The senior who asked the most actively seemed to be out of steam for some reason.
At that time, another senior mumbled.
"I thought it looked very good on you. It's like an elite couple."
"That's right. I thought about that, too."
"I think he's quite caught up when he sees what his lover decided until the time when Eun Ji-ho accepted a secret relationship without saying a word, but he has that kind of image. Just looking at it, it looks broken, and I don't think I'll make any mistakes. I don't think it will be pushed back at all by logic."
"That's right, that's right."
My heart tingled when I heard that. I quickly bowed my head.
I thought that I was interested in these people, rumors, but I was making ordinary people bad people who would never say rude things in front of the person. I suggested that we have a secret relationship.
No, but I really didn't want to go through my name and personal information to the university that had a bad evasion of interpersonal evasion even though I was a good life.
But wouldn't it be necessary to endure such a thing in order to go out with Eun Ji-ho? Isn't it like I'm taking only the inside part of the bread and throwing away the corners? I should have prepared that if you have the advantages of dating someone, you will have that much inconvenience.
A long time ago, Kim Hye-hill spoke to me. "It's a pity that you're not Kwon Eun-hyung's favorite."
I answered him with a smile.
'That's because Eun-hyung is actually a good person to get along with anyone.'
'That's it.'
But in fact, Hye-Heel was the same as a good person.
The person Eun Ji-ho needs and the one who fits perfectly, and the person who goes well with everyone.
I don't belong to all three at all, is it really okay if I go out with him like this? Although he told me that I don't have to change anything that is accomplishing me to go out with him.
I squeezed my fist that was coming down on both sides. However, even if you show your sad heart a little, it will soon become like this. But how on earth will the day come when we treat each other comfortably without any guilt or awkwardness? like other lovers
Then I came to my senses and the people in the room were staring at me bewildered. It was worth it because I suddenly fell into a depressed contemplation by myself.
I quickly picked up the camera and said.
"Critic, you're in big trouble. I didn't really take anything, so what do I say."
"Oh, don't worry about that. If you say you didn't take a picture because you were stocking up to burn your body in recreation, you'll like Hyung-chul. No, everyone will like it."
"That's a bit..."
When I cried, the seniors burst into laughter. I'm glad that the atmosphere was released quickly.
Returning from the position, I finally caught my eye on the face of the senior who talked to Eun Ji-ho yesterday. It was still a face full of positive brilliance. Once again, I raised my head in my heart that I didn't know whether it was inferiority or self-introctive.
And I left the room as it is.
* * *
According to the schedule, I had a critical time at 7 o'clock. It was a little tight to eat dinner and even recreation, but I ate lunch late anyway, and above all, I could explain the feelings in it more vividly right after taking the picture. Don't write a diary, but it's the same as the best thing to write on the day.
In the darkened living room, when the lights were turned off, a mini-beam projector, a school artifact, projected a table on a white wall.
Nam Hak-woo, who was the first hitter, came out in front of him.
"Hello, I'm Young-cheol Kim, class 11. The picture I took is..."
Fortunately, the surrounding scenery was monotonous, so the ones taken were similar.
There were some amazing places in the photos of seniors who are in high school or who specialize in this kind of activity, but it was fortunate that most of them were ordinary.
But even though the photos looked simple, each one had a different meaning. There were many cases where photos taken rather clunky because there was no technology, and I often admired them after hearing the truth.
"Hello, I'm Ban Yeo-ryeong, the 13th class. I will present a photo I took on the theme of 'love'."
When a familiar name came out, I raised my head with a thump. Yeo-ryeong, who stood in front of the screen, looked at the audience with a clear gaze and continued to explain.
"What I wanted to put in the picture is 'shade'. The sun is likened to a blessing to all things, but it also feels like violence on terribly hot days. Also, it feels like the gaze of an absolute, and sometimes it's cramped like being watched all the time. So...... I wanted to express some kind of shelter-like love."
"Good, good."
Senior Hyung-chul applauded as if he was very satisfied. Even though I heard it, it was the best 1st and 2nd grade presentations so far.
The next person who came out was Eun-hyung. He stood in front of the wall with a smiling face as usual. In time, I blinked my eyes to the picture behind him. yeah ?
Coincidentally, the picture taken by Eun-hyung was almost the same as the picture of Yeo-ryeong. However, if Yeoryeong's photo focused on the shade, Eun-hyung's photo was focused on the flowers blooming on the trees and trees.
Eun-hyung spoke.
"The picture I'm going to present is 'trees and flowers'. Originally, I didn't want to match the topic with Yeo-ryeong, so I took it separately on purpose, but it's embarrassing that the results overlap like this."
"It's okay, it could be. it's common keep going."
Senior Hyung-cheol encouraged me.
Eun-hyung, who nodded his head, looked at the picture again.
"I found a flower blooming in this tree, and I said, 'Why is this blooming here?' and I came to think. Because similar flowers couldn't be found around."
The people who looked around the picture said. I see, really. You're in full bloom alone. It's unique?
Eun-hyung spoke.
"That's why I expected this flower to fall here alone because the flower seed blew the wrong wind. It's also a shade that doesn't get much sunlight. Then this flower couldn't help but think about its own destiny."
His voice slowly lowered.
"But on the other hand, trees and flowers seem to be the only ones that sustain each other in a field with only grass around them."
The audience nodded.
"So I think no matter what process the flower went through, it would have accepted its own destiny and loved it. Everything came down to meeting the tree. I'm not close to religion, but I think fate determinism helps when you take some aspects of life. So I saw these two as 'love'."
Finally, when Eun-hyung's presentation was over, everyone applauded. On the other hand, I even felt a little moved. It was because Eun-hyung knows so well who each refers to, the trees and flowers he compared to.
It seemed quite obvious to the people of the club, 'Marry!' The sound of it came out with a lingering aftertaste. In the end, the sound is 'Yes, it's your destiny!' It has developed to Ro.
While everyone bent their backs and burst into laughter, only Eun-hyung and Ye-ryeong stared at each other with fresh and serious eyes. It was a look of trust in each other just by looking at it.
How much time does it have to go to build that kind of trust? I remembered the thought that I had been trying to forget, and a corner of my heart became complicated again. At that time, it was finally my turn.
I hurried out in front of the tounding. At the same time, I didn't forget to see Eun Ji-ho with regretful eyes. I hope you have a film camera. I envy you, film camera. I didn't make a presentation today because of the current time.
Suddenly he looked at me, he seemed embarrassed, but in time he lifted his fist as if to cheer up.
But when I saw that, I felt a little energized. I released the picture with a sigh.
The silence that had flowed for a while soon turned into a seizure-like laugh.
Actually, that was natural. All behind my back, I was trying to be taken, but it was full of pictures of butterflies.
A picture of only one wing, a picture that can't be seen well because the light is smeared, the butterfly can't be seen because the focus is wrong, the picture can only be seen well seen in front of the flower in front of the nose, the picture of the white mass presumed butterfly looks almost like a psychic photo because it blocks the front of the lens, it was very colorful.
After letting everyone laugh to their heart's content, when they calmed down to some extent, I opened my mouth.
"My theme is, of course, 'love' just like everyone else, and what I wanted to express in the picture is... 'No matter what it is, there's no way I can be taken by me less than two months since I came in the photo department.'."
The sound of laughter that I barely used to do was louder again.
Hyung-cheol, who literally laughed until tears, asked.
"No, but it is. Did you come to the outdoor shoot and get a picture? What should I do, really. You shouldn't have given up moderately and even stopped."
"Actually, I was going to take a fence and say something like 'Love is a redemption', but I quit because I thought it was going too much. ..."
A senior raised his hand and shouted at the words I brought out with a grin. 'I already took that!' There was an explosive laugh again.
At that time, Min-woo, who was standing in one corner, clap his hands and shouted. it's OK ! Then everyone else followed and started shouting.
"It's okay! It's okay!"
"Thank you...... I'll show you more advanced next time..."
With everyone's cheers and encouragement, I returned to the turtle seat.
Looking around, Eun-hyung and Yeo-ryeong are trying to endure laughter, and the owner, no, is he even crying now? for real ?
And Yoo Cheon-young...... Oh, he's also covered his face with both hands and fell down slightly. It looks very sad. Of course, it will be a lot of fun inside. Two seniors sitting nearby were poking at each other and pointing fingers at him.
Finally, I saw Eun Ji-ho. He was bowing his head with one hand on his forehead, and he couldn't figure out what emotion it was.
anguish ? embarrassing ? But honestly, my picture was a bit harsh even though I saw it. Is it something like empathy?
While thinking about that, the owner's presentation began. He said cheerfully, showing me a picture of a spider web with dew.
"I think love is like dew caught in a spider web! It's not what the spider wanted, and it doesn't fit the use of the spider's web, but it's beautiful, and it's because it can't be shaken off by itself."
When he said, 'It doesn't fit the purpose of the spider', the owner would have really wanted to say it to be 'useless.' I was strongly felt that way of speaking and tone.
Someone in the middle of it smiled and asked.
"Does it even include disappearing in the morning?"
"Of course."
The owner answered with a bright smile, but it didn't look very pleasant to me.
Unlike usual, after the presentation of the owner, who was quite sincere, the next order was the 'he' senior of courtesy. I've been paying a lot of attention to Eun Ji-ho, who I've been most concerned about since yesterday.
But it's just my rain, right? yeah what I'm not even the female protagonist of 'my boyfriend's girlfriend'...... At that time, she said with a bang.
"I will start the statement. I'm Hee-soo Lee, class of 13 in the Department of Korean Language Education."
I opened my eyes wide. That person was in the Department of Korean Language Education. Then do you usually become a teacher when you graduate? It looks good on you, I think it will be popular with kids.
Senior Hee-soo pointed to the picture behind his back and spoke. It was a big tree similar to the one taken by Ye-ryeong or Eun-hyung.
"What I wanted to express was 'the tree that gives generously'. It may be a little simple, but I think it's a good story."
She still laughed and spoke.
"I think love has something that does for self-satisfaction to some extent. But when you feel sad for the other person, or when you want to ask for something, you often wrap up what you do for self-satisfaction as if it were for the other person. 'I did this for you, so you do this for me, too.' It's like this."
She said with her arms crossed.
"I do that myself, and I know it because I've been hit, and then the feeling of love loses its light very easily. The feeling that once was like a glazing jewel, like it was rolling out of the mud."
Speaking of personal affairs, she was still a bright face.
"So I thought this attitude was the most important thing to keep love for a long time, above all. It's not that you want me to generously spread anything, at least don't waste what you've already done for the other person. From the fact that you're rethinking the value of what you gave, it means that you're already calculating how important the other person is to you."
That was a lot of room to think about for sure. Many people, including me, became quiet as they stroked their chins.
I thought But Mina once told me, 'Your heart may not be as broad as you think, so observe yourself so that you don't get caught in the limit.' I said If that's the right thing to say, is that wrong?
In the midst of that, senior Hee-soo, who laughed, finished the presentation.
"So let's all grow a pretty love like this tree. That's all!"
"Lee Hee-soo! Lee Hee-soo!"
The thunder-like shout broke out. It was a similar reaction to when Eun-hyung announced it. If his presentation stimulated the emotional part, Hee-soo's presentation made him think about the extremely realistic part.
A male senior applauded loudly and said.
"Wow, Hee-soo is like a love master. Jung-hyun, make sure you get a consultation from Hee-soo."
"Brother, I'm crying, really."
"Hee-soo is so good at talking? Don't you have to set up a fortune shop instead of roting your talent?"
The girl who was right next to me answered someone's question, holding her throat.
"I played Hee-soo's senior at the last year's festival. Thanks to senior Hee-soo, he must have ranked first in the Korean Language Education Department."
"Really? Wow, that's awesome."
"Take a look at my love affair, Hee-soo. You can just lose the card as an excuse."
As everyone was floating like a real festival, I still opened my eyes wide as I was looking at the picture.
Oh, isn't that the hill where Eun Ji-ho was sitting on earlier? Did you go and take a picture before Eun Ji-ho went? But wait...... I think I can see the camera on the floor in a short distance.
I got on my chin and got into trouble. Then, isn't Eun Ji-ho covered by a tree and didn't appear in the picture?
hidden ? hidden....... I was redrawing the word in my mouth, and Hyung-cheol said.
"Come on, everyone, let's go out now. You should eat meat."
With those words, people ran out in an instant.
When the senior who was in charge of device management turned off the projector, I couldn't see any more pictures of Hee-soo.
I followed everyone out with a sense of embold in the corner of my heart.
Min-woo, who was known to have worked as a cook in the army and worked part-time at a meat restaurant, baked meat.
Hyung-cheol said, 'I made him the vice president because of this.' He said, 'Brother, I'm really nice, so I'm staying with you.' Senior Minwoo replied. Still, his hands diligently went up and down the fire.
Sometimes when the fire burns over the plate, most of them marveled, and some burst into a sad clamity. Still, it was pretty good to watch the grilling scenery under the yellow, round lights against the black sky.
No, maybe it's better to just grill the meat. First of all, I'm very hungry because I've been chasing butterflies all day long. I took my chin and looked happily at the side where Hyung-cheol and Min-woo were.
At that time, someone hit me next to me. Looking back, Eun Ji-ho was standing right behind me and looking at me.
Surely you weren't sitting across from me? So I thought you were going to keep saying that you need time to think about it.
I asked
"Why?"
Then I realized that I was setting up the table in the middle, I said.
"Oh, is it not enough paper cups? do you want to bring or what plate ? chopsticks ?
"No. There's something on your head."
"What?!"
I jumped I was sitting on the wooden deck outdoors, so I was very worried about what to do when a bug came out.
When I held Eun Ji-ho's arm in tears, he said.
"Stay still."
"Are you going to take it away?"
"Uh."
"K, how about the size? is big ? is it small Oh, but can you touch it with your bare hands? Don't you have to wear gloves? Oh, I really...... No, just take it off quickly."
that was the time While I was holding Eun Ji-ho's sleeve like a lifeline, the half-female leader who glanced at me from the side made an impression and said.
"Hey, Eun Ji-ho, don't bother your baby. What does Dan have on his head?"
"Uh?"
As I opened my eyes round and looked at it, Eun Ji-ho gently took his hand off my head and stepped back a couple of steps.
He spoke in a brazen, calm voice.
"Oh, no. there was real I guess it flew away."
"I've never seen anything fly close, but what's flying!"
I shouted out. No, I thought my heart was really falling.
I pressed my smounding heart, and Eun Ji-ho said again.
"I guess it was a butterfly, well. I think I came back because I was sad that you took a picture like that earlier."
"Hey!"
"The butterfly is originally a tribe without a tribe that carries this flower and that flower."
Eun Ji-ho used to say that, so he had a long way to go.
I sat blankly and thought alone. What the hell does that mean?
Eun Ji-ho is good at making silly jokes when we're together, but I also knew that sometimes they mix bones in a silly joke. And now I managed to distinguish the tone of when the bones were mixed.
It's clear that's a metaphor for something, what does that mean? I frowned
No way...... Like a butterfly following this flower without a flower, I'm going to play in earnest now? no that's not Eun Ji-ho is a great man who doesn't want to be in a relationship at all.
huh ? But come to think of it, wasn't he there a period like that when he was in middle school? Just before graduation....... Then really?
I couldn't eat a lot of meat in a broken barrel because I was imagining it.
Nevertheless, the meat kept piling up in front of me, so I wanted to see something, and everyone was only spreading meat to me with one mind. no what the real
The owner said with his eyes rattling.
"Mom, it's okay. You may not be able to take pictures of your love. We are too young and lack experience to deal with heavy and huge notions like love in the first place. isn't it
"Lord, why is there a saying that if you stay still, you'll go even half way?"
The owner calmly shut up at my question. I sighed and got up with a plate in the center.
and I said
"No matter how much I don't eat it, what if you spread all your food to me. I'll ask you for a little more."
"I'm closer! I am......."
As Yeo-ryeong said, I was already carrying a plate and walking.
Every time I walked, the long grass tickled my ankles exposed over my socks. My heart tightened because I thought a bug would pop out of it soon.
I pressed my chest on my chest, which started pounding quickly again. Eun Ji-ho, so, why are you talking about bugs right before eating? Is it really revenge? Thinking like that, I made an impression, and Minwoo, who was grilling meat, found me.
But even after he found me, he didn't call his name for a while, and suddenly he bowed his head and burst into laughter.
yeah ? I was hardened by the behavior of a senior who didn't know the meaning, and he raised his head again and said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. When I see you, I keep thinking of that presentation earlier......."
"Senior Minwoo."
I called it with disappointment. that's too much
At that time, Hyung-cheol, who was turning off the chair next to him, pointed to Min-woo and said.
"Dan laughed the most when you gave your presentation. It's about half of the laughter that rang in the living room earlier."
"Really?"
"Is that so? I even cried there. Isn't it really too much? I can't take it seriously when a new junior is giving a presentation."
I played with Hyung-cheol for fun and sent a resentful look at Min-woo.
Then he answered with one hand.
"No, I did it because it was cute. Because it's cute."
"What are you saying?! Minwoo, Dan's junior is cute, right?!"
It was Sol, who was drinking the nearest senior, who shouted like that. I seemed to be close to Min-woo after Hyung-cheol.
she shouted again
"I want to have a flirt with Dan, right?!"
"I'll give you this, please shut up."
Saying that, Minwoo handed over the baked sausage. Surely the sausage was less than the number of people, so it must have received quite a big bribe. But Sol's senior's words were already spreading everywhere.
"What? Minwoo, is Dan cute? I can't make Dan cute to Minwoo alone."
"Now let's all love Dani together. The name is 'cute' and the nickname is...... How about Yomi."
oh it's out Get drunk when you're at MT and just give it a nickname. I heard there are quite a few victims, but...... I don't think the results will be such a mess.
My complexion has become pale. Shouldn't the nickname be just a single name? Consistent, not confused, how good.
Despite my wishes, the atmosphere was going the exact opposite. In the end, I shouted that I couldn't do it like this.
"That, but!"
everyone looked at me I spit out a word in my head without being wrong.
"Just because Eun Ji-ho is handsome, he doesn't call him 'handsome', and he doesn't call his nickname 'good-looking'!"
For a moment, the atmosphere of the table became cheap. In time, everyone tapped on the table and burst into laughter.
Senior Hyung-cheol raised his thumbs up right next to him.
"Wow, Dan, you're really awesome. You haven't drunk much yet."
"Yes? yes."
"I'm looking forward to it more after drinking. Wow, what about your relationship. It's fun, really......."
Only then did I realize the point of people's laughter. When the smooth humans, who seemed to be able to see a flaw even if they looked at it with a microscope, they kept creaking and creaking and irrecontiousness, so it seemed to be interesting.
Meanwhile, Ban Yeo-ryeong said indifferently as he took a glass.
"Eun Ji-ho has a lot of things to do in the future..."
"Hey, Ban Yeo-ryeong."
Eun Ji-ho said with a warning. Whether it was or not, the people around me who heard Yeo-ryeong's murmur were busy laughing.
Meanwhile, Hee-soo, who was sitting close to the table next to Eun Ji-ho, smiled and shouted at me.
"Yomiya!"
"Yes?"
I answered in a sudden and closed my mouth. oh what should I do Now this is a tease for at least a week. Unsurprisingly, the seniors laughed and pointed their fingers at me.
At that time, Hee-soo, who patted his chin, tilted his head at an angle and said in a more subtle tone than before.
"Birth~"
"Stop it, please?"
Eun Ji-ho's reply was harsh, but Hee-soo laughed without caring about it. And in fact, I knew very well that Eun Ji-ho's attitude comes out when he started to get close to his opponent.
Senior Hee-soo smiled and said again.
"Why, I'm kind and nice now. It looks like."
"Ha..."
"You should call me differently, too. How about 'tree'? 'It's a tree~' This is also friendly."
"Yours isn't weird. You have to have a conscience."
"What do you say? You want to pick me from 'beautiful' and call me 'beautiful'? Jiho, if you want to do that, I can't help it."
"That's it, I shouldn't talk, really."
For some reason, I turned my head because it was awkward to hear more of their conversations. Fortunately, the conversation was cut off by Eun Ji-ho's words 'not to talk'.
At that time, I found a senior Minwoo who almost curled up on the lawn behind the fire.
I asked
"What are you doing now? I think it's going to get into the snow."
"Oh, no. Wow, Dan, I'm real."
Only then did he get up with his knees stretched out and looked at me with his eyes that were still smiling.
"I think that kind of joke is right. It's so good, really."
"Yes?"
No matter how much it was about the tone of speech, it was burdensome to hear the words 'too good' in my face.
He, but you shouldn't be embarrassed here, right? Then you're going to show off a new person, right?
While I was about to snow silently, senior Minwoo said, picking up a handful of meat with tongs.
"I'll give you a lot, eat a lot. OK ?
"Yes? Yes, thank you."
"Okay."
Min-woo, who smiled happily, waved his hand. I awkwardly bowed my head and turned around. Oh, it really doesn't mean much. But why do you feel so weird?
I came back to my seat and put the meat plate down in the middle of the table, and Yoo Cheon-young said.
"Hamdan."
"Yeah?"
"Good job."
what did you do well Yoo Cheon-young said to me who was puzzled.
"You must tell this to your first brother."
"Just say it, Yoo Cheon-young. I'll also carefully expose your private life one by one."
When Eun Ji-ho growled like that, Yoo Cheon-young replied without blinking a blink of an eye.
"I don't have anything to hide from my family."
"What?"
"I think you have a lot of things to hide."
I need to refer to it Across from Yoo Cheon-young, who added without changing his expression, the owner fell on the table.
Looking at it, I picked my chin and laughed. It's a peaceful mess as usual.
Then I looked at Eun Ji-ho's side face, which looked warm at first glance under the yellow light.
I'd like to ask the meaning of that word and the meaning of saying that I need time to think about it, but isn't it time yet? If you wait, until when?
The hand I put on the table had an unknowingly energized. The wind kept blowing as if I didn't know my heart.
It was a cool April night.
* * *
Recreation has dominated famous games, such as 'Speak with your body' or 'Cries in the Cry'.'
Originally, this kind of game was ruined, but I was a little worried that the image of the Four Great Heavenly Kings would collapse too much, but fortunately, that didn't happen.
Unluckily, Eun-hyung and the owner, who received animal-related keywords, were able to pass directly with just one cute move, and Yoo Cheon-young, who received the keyword 'Soju', showed a short and vivid acting as well as a mainstream advertising model and passed right away.
While everyone was clapping, I also applauded and thought. As expected, even if you choose another way, your natural talent won't go anywhere. If you had a heart, you could walk the path of an actor even now. Everyone seems to have thought the same thing as me, 'Cheon Young, make your debut!' A cry poured out.
The most unlucky thing was Eun Ji-ho. His keyword was the male protagonist of a real-time public drama called 'Namhaewon', which recently exceeded a whopping 30 percent viewership. Of course, Eun Ji-ho, who did not encounter mass media except for the news, could not know that.
However, looking at the back of the living room, our group yelled at Eun Ji-ho, who had hardened up, saying, 'What do you say,' and when the time was over, he checked the keywords and was shocked.
A senior asked.
"How come you don't know that? Jiho, don't you watch TV?"
"Yes. There's no one in my family to see me, and it's a habit not to see either. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Wow, but how come you don't know that? These days in Korea, Yoo Ji-hye, Nam Hae-won, and Sung Mi-ri are spies if they don't know. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Wuck, that's right. Isn't it time to do that now? Turn on the TV, come on!"
When someone shouted, one person snatched the remote and quickly turned on the television. Indeed, Nam Hae-won and Sung Mi-ri stood facing each other with faint eyes full of the screen.
"What is it? Why are they doing that all of a sudden? It was cut off because I tried to reveal Yoo Ji-hye's evil deeds last week. I waited a week to see it."
I agreed with them inwardly. In fact, what was most illuminated in that drama was 'Yoo Ji-hye', not the male protagonist 'Nam Hae-won' or 'Sung Mi-ri', but the role of the villain, and it was not an exaggeration to say that everyone was half admiring her because she was so good at acting, and half of her heart waiting for when Yoo Ji-hye's bad deeds would be revealed. me ? Well, I'm watching the live broadcast with my mom every week.
Another senior said.
"That's right. But actually, I don't think Yoo Ji-hye will collapse this time. Isn't he a bit of a phoenix? Even if it collapses, it will continue to live."
"But honestly, what kind of fun do you watch the drama if he doesn't come out? This drama Yoo Ji-hye did it all."
"That's really true. I hope the next work goes well."
After saying that, everyone took a seat next to the sofa of Juseomju Island, and someone turned off the light in the living room. As a result, the living room has entered the atmosphere of a movie theater.
Suddenly, when the recreation ended and there was a wave atmosphere, Eun Ji-ho stood with a somewhat bewildered face that didn't suit him. Well, it's not like you're going to do it because you're unintentionally provided the cause of the wave.
It was funny to stand far away, so I tried to beckoned him to come here. But before that, someone sat down next to him.
It was senior Hee-soo. Embrace the cushion that she didn't know where it came from, she bowed her head toward Eun Ji-ho and smiled mischily.
"How can you make it wrong, you look. It was a matter of giving it for free."
Starting with Hee-soo's words, booing words poured out once again towards Eun Ji-ho. Everyone seemed to be trying to make fun of him somehow at an unusual opportunity.
Eun Ji-ho, who sighed deeply, swept her head and answered.
"That's probably the case based on the person who watches TV."
Then he suddenly added.
"Did you solve that problem?"
Some people, including senior Hee-soo, did not participate in the recreational game. The reason was that they knew all the answers because they wrote the contents of the sketchbook.
Hee-soo smiled and replied.
"I really paid it out to give it for free."
"Hey."
"No, though. Don't you hear something naturally when you talk to your friends even if you don't watch that drama?"
When I heard that, I laughed in my heart. I know that Eun Ji-ho doesn't watch TV at all, so when we were together, we didn't talk about the topic well. I don't know if it's about celebrities themselves, but if you go into the drama content that is just virtual, it's because you know that Eun Ji-ho can't stand it because it's boring.
Hee-soo said it again.
"I think you've definitely heard of Namhaewon's line, right? I didn't know he was a line and went over...... Oh, yeah. I'll let you know what I'm most famous."
When senior Hee-soo suddenly got up on his knees and groomed his clothes, others cheered. In an untimely fuss, senior Hyung-cheol looked back and said, 'What's going on?' When I asked, someone shouted. 'Hee-soo is acting!'
And when he lowered his voice, senior Hee-soo said.
"'I really don't understand. Mr. Miri, do you have any greed for excavation? Even so, why do you have to use it to choose a relationship partner?'"
"Lee Hee-soo is so versatile!"
"That's right!"
Not only her facial expressions and eyes, but even her accent were quite plausible, so I understood everyone's admiration.
But I couldn't just laugh.
He will do that too. First, Hee-soo's eyes were completely directed at Eunjiho, and second, I've been watching the drama, so I knew all the next lines.
Hee-soo said it again.
"'Chocolate wrapped in high-grade packaging and chocolate in a zipper bag, can't you guess which one tastes better? But why do dating partners have to choose only those who look bad in good condition and take a long time to find their strengths? Can't you trust people who can see their strengths well even if they don't invest their time? It looks poisonous, but?'"
"'Mr. Haewon, it's not that.......'"
When a senior hit Sung Mi-ri's line, laughter swept through the whole living room. Among them, senior Hee-soo spoke.
"'I know, I couldn't be so reliable at the first meeting. But other than that time, I really did my best. It's after you like Mr. Miri, not to mention. Nevertheless, I only give opportunities to other people, who don't have the energy or sincerity to see well, because I'm so upset.'"
"'That's.......'"
"'Miri, you've only treated me unilaterally until now. Now I'm going to have a relationship with someone who is treated. If you feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable, you can quit right away. So give me a chance just once.'"
While it was quiet everywhere, senior Hee-soo spoke in a soft voice.
"'Mirly, you're a worthy person.'"
There was a moment of silence, and once again cheered. Everyone smiled, applauded, or looked moved, and some praised, 'You're better at acting than Namhaewon.'
There weren't many people who were interested in the drama that had been played. Although there may be things like that because Yoo Ji-hye didn't come out.
In the midst of it, the only one who still kept his sour expression was Eun Ji-ho.
Hee-soo said it again.
"Don't you have a deep thought? I thought it would look good on you, so I really wanted to give it to you."
"That's right! Jiho looks good on you for some reason, such a line like Namhaewon."
In fact, everyone knows the reason, but for Eun Ji-ho's mind, he added the expression 'wough'. But the person in fact was just a stingy face.
someone asked
"What's wrong?"
"I don't understand well by my standards."
"Real? I thought you looked a little like Namhaewon."
and someone said 'Namju, an advanced packaging paper.' 'That's right, it's a bit of a luxurious bitch.' Eun Ji-ho's keen gaze turned to someone who said 'cheap'.
For a moment, too, he sighed and said.
"The advantage is that it should be seen as an advantage from the other person's point of view. Do you even have to say that it doesn't match my standards."
"Oh, what. That's true."
"That's the same, and you're looking for a reason why you don't accept yourself, not from the other person. Anyway, isn't it your side that's regrettable now?"
While everyone was quiet, Eun Ji-ho, who slaed her chin, spoke softly.
"You don't have the saying, 'What you like first is to lose.' I've already lost, and if what I want is still with the other person, I have to crawl. I'm not being that stiff."
"Wow, I didn't know you would say that if you love more, you have to crawl. The remarks of a mysterious lover......."
"I know, Jiho is really a lover. Why didn't you know that?"
The people of the club had a surprising face, and Eun Ji-ho was still calm.
then someone said
"But it's not just a way to get it. If, as you said, it leads to any sphere of power, it's not a good attitude to be honest about showing all your regrets. It means you have to give everything the other person calls you."
"I wouldn't do that if it was just a deal. But that's what you're saying to someone you like."
Eun Ji-ho still said with his chin.
"Then I don't think you have to pretend to like it less. I'm not saying I'm going to take advantage of him."
"Jiho's girlfriend would be really nice."
"That's right."
In the midst of the smover, I saw him with a little doured eyes.
If it's really a value of his love, I don't think there's any reason for me to be afraid like this right now.
By the way, he never hesitated to show his heart while dating me. never .
Unlike me, who was often afraid that Eun Ji-ho would feel burdened if he liked it too much, or that he would be teased.
Now I felt like I could talk to him openly without any fear.
But before I reached him in the dark, I suddenly lit up in the living room.
People were ready to play a drink, turning off the television and pushing the couch back. So I couldn't hope for a chance anymore.
I rolled my hand into my pocket and mumbled. Take a chance again.
By the end of today.
* * *
But even after that, the opportunity didn't come easily. For some reason, there was a concentrated attack only at me.
I thought while crying. What kind of mistake did I make without realizing it? Was it actually taken secretly by people? From the time the sound of that 'cutey' came out?
Yoo Cheon-young or the owner drank it for me, but it was once or twice, and Yeo-ryeong tried to take the glass several times, but I refused it. Strangely, Yeo-ryeong is good at singing and dancing, but she got caught playing alcohol games.
"Random game, random game. Dan's favorite random game."
When I came to college, I listened to the phrase that seemed to have heard a thousand times more, chose a game, got caught and drank it, and if the person next to me got caught, I liked it and followed it, and then I got caught again because of causal retribution, and I got a cup of drinks that it was as much as I love.......
When I came back to my senses, it was a room on the second floor. The light pouring through the cracks in the door was carving a thin vertical line on the wall. There was someone sleeping crouching next to me, so I looked at him and it was Sejeong. The cell phone clock was pointing to 2 a.m.
I got up and sat down, and I organized what I had done so far in my head. Well, we all watched the drama together and organized it at 10 o'clock, and it was around 10:30 when we started drinking. It's already been four hours since then...... It was time for everyone to take a break after the game.
But Eun Ji-ho must be awake, right? I tend to have no sleep even at this age.
Now is my chance, so I got up from my seat.
When I went down the stairs carefully, there were only about six people left in the living room. Seeing the owner in it, I realized that this was the only league of the strong.
The owner asked with a face that was not visible to be drunk.
"Mom, did you wake up? Do you want to come and play more?"
"No, I'm done. Uh...... Rather, where are the other kids?"
Just by referring to me as 'other kids', the owner seemed to realize who I was really looking for. He answered, folding his fingers one by one.
"Cheonyoung went to bed earlier, and Yeo-ryeong and Eun-hyung must be outside for a walk, and Eun Ji-ho? Maybe I didn't go far. Look it up."
"Yes, okay. thank you ."
I responded lightly, so I turned around and put my foot on the sneakers. Then, the owner's voice flew back from behind his back.
"Mom."
"Yeah?"
"Whatever it is, don't be too anxious. I don't think it's okay."
"What?"
When I turned around and asked, the owner just smiled and froze.
what the hell I was opening my eyes for nothing, and I said, 'Thank you.' I said and turned around again. Maybe I knew the true meaning of what he said.
The yellow lights were brightly lit everywhere, so it wasn't very dark outside. The air was clear, so I could see the stars well, the yard was quite wide, and there were many places to hide because of the structure of the building.
This would be pretty good for hide-and-seek or a secret meeting. Couples who are in secret love in the club, wouldn't there be more than us? Public dating is also burdensome, and it's said to be a pretty old club.
Instead, I came to my senses. Oh my god, I really need to find Eun Ji-ho now. I can't find it until the sun rises and I'm ready to go back.
Someone called me as I was walking through the leaves of the dewful grass.
"Uh, Dan-ah!"
"Senior Minwoo?"
When I looked up, I looked at Minwoo and Hyung-cheol sitting on the wooden deck where they ate meat in the evening.
Between their fingers, there was a red cigarette burning.
I didn't mean to get very close because of the cigarette, but when I approached it to a certain extent, Minwoo pressed the cigarette and turned it off.
Senior Hyung-cheol quickly rubbed the cigarette on the floor and turned it off.
And they asked at me.
"Why did you come out when you went to bed early?"
"Oh, I'm going to look for those kids."
"The female spirit? Maybe you're on a date?"
"Ah. . . . .
Actually, I wasn't trying to find Yeo-ryeong, but I only swept down my face because I thought it would look suspicious if I said I was going to find Eun Ji-ho at this time.
My senior Minwoo suddenly asked if I didn't look well.
"Are you okay?"
I raised my head again and asked bewildered.
"Yes?"
"I think it takes a long time ago."
"Oh, haha."
I laughed through my lips. As expected, that wasn't my illusion, was it? Then is there really some kind of huge collusion going on against me? why the hell I think it would be a hundred times more fun to see other kids drunk than me.
At that time, Minwoo said it again.
"Don't feel too resentful. It's all because the kids want to be close to you guys."
huh ? I tilted my head what are you guys
"Di't Yeo-ryeong and other kids have already been active in this club for over a year?"
"By the way, Eun Ji-ho and Yoo Cheon-young's activities were almost at the level of visiting members. It's the owner, it comes out well when you call him, but he usually says it comes out when he calls anywhere. I heard that there are already a few clubs that he thinks he is his member of."
"Huh."
Master, have you been like that? If you don't know anything, you'll see, 'You're having a very enjoyable and fruitful college days!' I would have done it, but it seemed like a longing for something I couldn't find.
No matter how much you get lost, you know you can't even find it, let alone find it, so it's like that the echo just made you travel through all kinds of places and kill time.
No, but that's just a premature guess from my point of view. I quickly shook my head and looked ahead again.
Senior Hyung-cheol spoke.
"But there weren't many people who worked like that from the beginning, and everyone was busy with building specs. There were things that made them loose the rules to catch a breath, so they thought they were going to do that until they graduated. But the kids have changed a bit since you came."
I, who was listening silently, asked.
"If you've changed, what..."
"Everyone started to come out well at the meeting, but apart from that, what should I say... Do you feel like there's a real person in the place where there was only a sign until now?"
Senior Hyung-cheol shook his hand.
"Until now, I've never felt like I'm getting along well even if I'm in the same place as them? Interaction between people...... Interaction...... What do you say about this...... Anyway. But if you're there, do you feel like you can get along with something like the one between them and us?"
"Ah."
I pondered while looking at the air.
By the way, it seemed that some people said that to me when I was in my 3rd year of high school. I've never felt like I'm in harmony even if it's the same class as the Four Great Heavenly Kings, but thanks to you, I feel that way for the first time.
I interpreted it as 'I think we're all getting close to you as we solve a lot of accidents because of you, but maybe it was literally meant.
Senior Hyung-cheol suddenly reached out his hand as if he was about to shake hands with me.
"Anyway, please continue to unite our club in the future. Even when I graduate, everyone gets closer and I want to make a club that goes well together."
"Oh, yes, yes."
I also hurriedly held his hand.
After that, the topic suddenly flowed to another place.
"Then, Dan must have had a hard time dating you. You said you've been friends with them since high school, right?"
yes yes .
"Did you have someone to do it? If it were like me, I would never have done it because I was scared."
"Haha."
I just smiled and froze. After hearing that, I said, 'Maybe there was someone who couldn't confess because I was afraid of Iru, Yoo Cheon-young, and Eun Ji-ho, and secretly liked me?' I thought about it, but I didn't think there would have been anyone like that.
I'm just that, a peculiar constitution that is popular only for people with big titles....... If not, the three couldn't have liked me at the same time. Including the confession from the brigade's brother and dating.
At that time, senior Hyung-cheol asked again.
"But college is a bit better because it's wider than high school, right? Is there anyone who flirts these days?"
I couldn't continue the conversation with this topic anymore. I looked at my phone and stepped back.
"Oh, I'm looking for other friends...... I'll go now. Good night!"
"Yes, yes."
Contrary to my expectation that I would be a little embarrassed, they sent me easily.
Turning around the back of the pension, I thought.
Then, if you can't see it, you can call me, but you've forgotten about it until now, right? I thought I woke up after waking up to some extent, but maybe it was all an illusion.
And I tried to press the shortened number 1.
But my plan has not been put into practice. Because the moment I crossed the corner, I saw two people sitting under the streetlights in my eyes.
It was Eun Ji-ho and Hee-soo.
To be precise, Eun Ji-ho was not sitting. He stood up right near senior Hee-soo, who sat on the stone wall and hit his feet with one leg overlapping on the other.
She looked very comfortable, and Eun Ji-ho didn't see a facial expression either, but she looked pretty comfortable.
If I didn't have any prior information, I might have misunderstood the relationship between the two. So, if I didn't know that Eun Ji-ho and I were dating.
I've been standing there nailed in that place for a while.
I hated the yellow light that felt sweet until just now.
I hated the sky with a piece of glass-like stars, and I hated the indigo atmosphere that wrapped around me. Whatever it's a romantic color between the two.
Then I barely came to my senses. Nothing has been revealed yet, and Eun Ji-ho and Hee-soo are just talking for a moment.
And, I can call Eun Ji-ho now and tell him to come here if he wants.
that was my right Like the heroine in the cartoon who was taken away by a crush on a man, I'm not just biting my lips here.
The time I had to watch for nothing in the event that came to my eyes was too long, and the shock at that time was so great that if something similar happened, my mind often turns white.
With a sigh, I picked up my phone with trembling hands.
But then, the sound of words came out.
"......The more we talk about poetry, the more I understand. When I first saw you, Jiho, the first impression I got was right."
Eun Ji-ho hasn't said anything yet. Senior Hee-soo added with a smile.
"I have a good eye for people. Is it because you saw the taro? It's not that I have some mysterious ability, but when I look at it, I look at the card at first and read the person, and then I look at the person and read the card."
She spoke with her chin.
"So when I first saw you, I knew right away that you would be very good to the person who was in the line. Of course, to my girlfriend."
Then she laughed a little.
"Or maybe it's because I'm a similar person to you."
I remembered the picture she had announced earlier in my head.
A huge tree standing on a meadow and receiving a lot of sunlight.......
But if it becomes a 'tree that gives generously', there will be nothing left in a few years. I gave the rest of it to someone else.
In that imagination, one side of my chest became heavy as if it was a stone.
At that time, senior Hee-soo said again.
"The presentation was just the one that made me think, but I told you to listen to it. The story of the 'a tree that gives generously', you also said it was my experience, right? Then I know very well that the person who played the role of the tree is too tired."
Senior Hee-soo lowered his eyes and spoke.
"That's right. Devoting unilaterally, consuming unilaterally...... But the other person doesn't know it at all or takes it for granted."
She lowered her voice.
"I said earlier that the solution was, 'Don't be sorry for calculating what you gave to your other person,' but that's not really not a fundamental solution. you are right The best solution is to meet someone who doesn't make me feel sorry for me. So it's a similar person."
"......."
"The tree has to meet with the trees, and the boy has to meet with the boy...... Otherwise, the boy may be fine, but the ending left for the tree is to slowly dying with only the bottom left. But when I listen to what you say, I don't think you're meeting that kind of person."
I gave strength to the hand that was against the wall without realizing it. The fingertips, which were hard-studded to the squeaky surface, complained of pain, but I didn't have the heart to feel it.
I just rewinded in my mouth. The only ending allowed to the tree is slowly dying.......
At that time, Eun Ji-ho finally opened his mouth.
I suddenly raised my head again.
"The announcement was actually told me to listen to it, but the nickname you told me to call you was 'tree'. And now, in order not to get a miserable ending, we have to meet similar people."
Eun Ji-ho's voice was just calm.
Senior Hee-soo laughed a little embarrassed. She still spoke in a fresh manner.
"I've never said anything weird, so why do you say it that way? Then I become a very strange person."
"Real? Then should I say something that sounds strange to me?"
At the words that followed, I stopped breathing.
"I also told you that I had a fight with my girlfriend yesterday, but I told you to listen to it."
"What?"
I was embarrassed by Hee-soo's voice. In time, she smiled slightly and said again.
"That sounds really weird."
When I came to my senses, I was running in the opposite direction from where the two people were.
* * *
"That sounds really weird."
Having said that, I could clearly see some kind of anticipation that shimmered weakly in her eyes.
Eun Ji-ho sighed inside and thought. Why on earth did I develop my attention in this way? I have a personality that has nothing to do with romantic feelings in the first place. I can't believe it, I've never missed it until now.
At that time, Lee Hee-soo asked again.
"Why did you tell me about your girlfriend's fight?"
Eun Ji-ho, who slowly shook his head, answered.
"No, not that part."
"Then?"
"The part where I have a girlfriend."
Lee Hee-soo looked up at this side with the same eyes.
Eun Ji-ho said again.
"Thank you for trying to be close to me, but I don't want to make a new girlfriend not only in this club, but anywhere else. Even if he doesn't mind, I don't want to make him anxious for nothing."
Embarrassedly, he nailed the last nail into his big eyes.
"So, from now on, I don't want to ask questions about identity, including questions such as other club activities or volunteer activities. Also, call it out and have a conversation like now."
Because I came out with the thought that this was the last time. When I said that, Lee Hee-soo's eyes shook violently as if they were caught in the rain.
In time, she said, pulling up the corner of one of her mouth as if it was ridiculous.
"Yeah...... I think it's good for club friends to be close to everyone regardless of that, but I don't have anything more to say because you say that. Still, I remember my old experience, so I'll say one more word."
She spoke as she swept her hair.
"I said earlier that if I'm going to be so dedicated, I should at least meet similar people, right? But you don't understand that you have a close friend, how can you be a understanding and dedicated girlfriend? It's actually a devoted and not, aside from being a normal person. isn't it Such a romantic partner is the main culprit who ruins all human relationships."
Eun Ji-ho frowned. Of course, the real reason he decided not to get close to Lee Hee-soo was because he guessed her true intention, but if he said it openly, it would be this way to ruin his reputation.
Even so, you don't have to listen to those words calmly because he refused to be friends with Lee Hee-soo.
What's more, the target is Hamdan.
Eun Ji-ho, who lowered his voice, said.
"I didn't tell him not to make friends, he didn't do it because I didn't want to make him anxious. I don't know why you're so sure it's a 'tree that gives me so much' in the first place. How I'm in a relationship, you haven't seen it in person."
Eun Ji-ho deliberately mixed sarcasm at the end of his words. I wonder if I read it, Lee Hee-soo, whose face is harder than before, answered.
"But I know what you usually say."
"That's what you're saying in front of others. We all wrap ourselves up to some extent in front of others, because there is a social life."
"And I know a person called you."
"I can't say I've known you for that long."
"......."
Eun Ji-ho, who was looking down at Lee Hee-soo, who was finally quiet, said.
"......Decidatively, you don't even know who I'm dating yet."
Lee Hee-soo bit his lips as if he had lost his words.
Eun Ji-ho looked at the figure and said again.
"In the first place, I'm not like a 'giving tree' to him. It's like a very beneficial being. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
He was talking without much thought, and he suddenly closed his mouth.
As I thought about the past, I thought a lot, and I almost said something that I didn't have to say here. No matter what he says, in Lee Hee-soo's head, he will only change into a reason to put him down and blame him.
And even if the moment comes when you have to tell the thoughts in your head, the opponent was already fixed.
When Eun Ji-ho stopped talking, Lee Hee-soo seemed to wait for a moment, but soon he seemed to notice that he had no sign of saying anything more.
Lee Hee-soo got up from her seat with a face engulfed in anger.
Eun Ji-ho didn't say any greetings to her, who walked into the darkness.
However, he was left alone and thought for a moment.
The tree that was generously given must have been able to be alive even when the boy returned, only because he gave the part except the roots. Because you can stay alive for years as long as you don't dig into the roots.
But what should I do if I see an opponent who asks for the root?
If Lee Hee-soo had heard it, he would have answered right away.
'Then that's really not right. We have to break up right now.'
But what if we can't break up?
Eun Ji-ho looked down at the ground with his hands in his pocket. A stalk of grass was casting a long shadow over the streetlight.
he mumbled
Actually, what I was asked for was not the root, but even the root to be changed. Because what Hamdan asked for was a flower that didn't grow at all in my branch.
I've never thought of hitting myself to others in the first place.
It was once a philosophy that Eun Han-soo supported, not to make me a person who could be matched by others, and that Eun Ji-ho followed as it was.
The eye that observed others was not to understand them, but just to make thorough use of them.
It couldn't have been so difficult for him to have the virtues that Hamdan demanded.
Nevertheless, I had to do it somehow. Even if you graft the branches that have been broken from others, and the roots that were grown in the soil are transferred into the water and planted to live the life of Bupyeongcho.
Because other trees with the flowers she wanted were always branching toward her and waiting to be chosen.
In time, Eun Ji-ho, who twisted the corner of one mouth, mumbled.
"What's the tree that gives generously... It's a good thing if it's a cat that slapping with its tail to be loved while hovering around."
Despite so much effort, the dan still has doubts, alert, and sometimes anxious because he still doesn't believe in himself completely, but even that, it's not even unfair because all the actions were not for her in the first place, but for herself who should not be without her.
Eun Ji-ho, who kept looking at the grass on the floor, murmured.
"I also think I'm quite aware of my topic."
and he turned around
I've finally solved what I've been having to do since MT came, so now all I have to do is to find Hamdan and talk.
After looking at this side a few times, I was sure I had something to say, but I didn't talk to him until this time.
I went to bed earlier, but I'm going to wake up by this point. When you're drunk and fall asleep, it's Hamdan's drinking habit to wake up once, drink water, and get some air.
I did the first kiss like that. Suddenly, it reminded me of that incident, so Eun Ji-ho laughed a little.
Just as I read the regret of how I could sleep without anything under the roof even though we were in a relationship at most, Hamdan appeared in his pajamas like a lie on the veranda where he was.
I shouldn't have eaten seasoned chicken for Hamdan. It was noisy around. Anyway, but in fact, he had nothing to do with that.
Maybe even if I did it in a less romantic and less quiet place than that, I wouldn't have cared much.
The two of you are together, how can you care about anything else.
You didn't take the word 'Give me time to think' seriously, did you? Eun Ji-ho suddenly thought.
That wasn't what Hamdan was trying to scare, but rather not to scratch her anymore.
I think she somehow got halfway up with the right answer she wanted by cutting and pasting it here and there, but it was often the case that she still couldn't be the wrong answer and came up with something close to a bomb.
Eun Ji-ho thought, looking at Hamdan's face, which became a mess, every time.
Oh, you shouldn't make mistakes anymore. more .
Anyway, I was already starting with more deductions than others.
But when Hamdan came up to Seoul after his return life, he had to see her every day without time to review the wrong answer, and that was the problem.
So in the end, there was a situation of fighting every day like these days...... In order not to make this a habit, it was necessary to have time to be self-sufficient.
But if Hamdan accepts his words as something like an ambust and is so restless, I'm a little sorry, but it's still cute.
When Eun Ji-ho was smiling a little, I heard the sound of words from nearby. With a slight impression on the sound, he paused in the spot.
It was Kim Min-woo and Kim Hyung-chul. Maybe even your last name is the same, 'Actually, isn't it your cousin?' It makes me think. It might be true if you see the two are in mutual aid.
It hasn't been long since Eun Ji-ho unilaterally disliked the two. This is all.......
At that time, I heard Kim Min-woo's voice.
"......I think it's okay if I stop. He seems very cute, nice, and has a good personality."
Then I heard Kim Hyung-cheol's sloppy voice.
"You must have had a hard time with them since high school. Even if he had a tough personality, he would have had no choice but to wear out on his own."
"I don't think that's the case. Do you feel like you just have a personality that accepts you from the beginning? Did Dan say he was an only one? You said you didn't have a younger brother, right?"
Why are you curious about other people's family relationships? Kim Hyung-cheol answered, when Eun Ji-ho was sarcastically inside.
"Di't you say it's an outside? I don't know, I haven't talked to you a lot either."
Then he said it again.
"Ask about that next time, when you ask again if there's anyone who flirts."
"That should be. Oh, I really wish there wasn't."
The moment he heard that, Eun Ji-ho took a quick step that had stopped.
Then he thought. Did you just talk to Hamdan? Then it means that she is also around here.
That's why Eun Ji-ho came to hate Kim Min-woo recently. Because the tee he liked Hamdan was quite noticeable.
Just as he recognized Lee Hee-soo's heart faster than anyone else, Eun Ji-ho also noticed Kim Min-woo's favorable personality towards Hamdan sooner than anyone else.
What was even more ridiculous was the fact that Kim Min-woo liked Ban Yeo-ryeong a month ago. So I was going to give advice to Hamdan about that, but I guess I understood it well.......
Then Eun Ji-ho finally found a familiar back. For some reason, I saw Hamdan standing alone in the dark and bowing his head.
There are a lot of street lights, so why do you have to do it here? Thinking like that, Eun Ji-ho took a step closer.
Maybe because of last year's work, he used to feel very disgusted by Hamdan when he was alone in a dark place. Before we talk, we should take him to a bright place.......
At that time, Hamdan looked back this way as if he felt popular.
Eun Ji-ho saw her two cheeks wet with tears.
I thought it was like this because the fuse was cut off.
* * *
"Dan, let's go to the club."
It was the first word that Eun Ji-ho, who made eye contact with me from the backyard of the accommodation, came out.
I forgot the situation at the moment and blinked blankly. You and I, let's leave the club? Isn't it you and Hee-soo?
In the meantime, a hand came up on my shoulder. The touch itself was quite cautious, but the fingertips were trembling. I couldn't tell if the feelings in it were fear or anger.
I heard Eun Ji-ho's words again in my ears, which is still blinking.
"No, shall we go out? I'm not trying to force you, I...... No, let's hear why you cry and then think about it again. So what the hell is going on?"
I asked him to think about it after hearing it, but there was already some conviction in his eyes.
He asked again before I even opened my mouth.
"Is it Kim Min-woo?"
"What?"
"Or Kim Hyung-cheol? Who was he trying to hook up with you? I'm going to force you to do well with Kim Min-woo. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"What the hell are you talking about?"
I refuted that I couldn't hear his bullshit anymore. You've been flirting with other people until just now, who the hell is gossiping.......
When I thought about it that way, the vision that had barely become clearer began to blur again. I put out his hand as I felt the eyes burning.
I said
"I don't even want to talk to you."
"What? Why all of a sudden......."
Eun Ji-ho had a look on his face that he didn't know why I was doing this.
He spoke in a hurry.
"Is it because I'm only here now? Or because you said you need time to think about it? If that's the case, I don't want to make more mistakes with you......."
I stared at Eun Ji-ho's face, who said that.
On what basis does he think I just didn't see the scene? It's not that the two of us came on a trip alone, it's a club MT, and they even stay in the same accommodation.......
Did you hold on to Hee-soo and say something like that because you believed that you would never see me? When I thought about it that way, I cried again.
As I started dripping my tears, he held my shoulder with a frustrated expression. he said quickly
"Why are you crying? please tell me I have no idea what's going on, so I'm really... Is it because I asked you to go to the club?"
"......."
"If that was the case, I was short-thinking. The university is small in the first place, but it was my mistake to try to overturn the club. You still don't want to get attention, but you shouldn't do that even if you think about our reputation. OK I got it I know......."
Eun Ji-ho constantly said something, but his ears were crouching and he couldn't even hear well. But I murmured, stealing tears.
It was like that before, but before.......
The moment you believe that you will never evaluate me, you will evaluate me, and the moment you believe that you will never hurt me.
Then I came back at the very moment when I thought I couldn't come back again...... and made me unable to even get angry about what I've done so far.
What I've always doubted was 'Hee-soo must have been interested in Eun Ji-ho', but 'Heon Ji-ho will be interested in Hee-soo'.
The fact that made me nervous was that 'Eun Ji-ho might be better to like someone else', not 'Eun Ji-ho might like someone else'.
But why again this time...... I raised my hands and wrapped my eyes. If you're going to do this, don't make me believe it in the first place, why do you make people believe and make people more miserable?
When I didn't show my face at all, Eun Ji-ho seemed to be more nervous.
He groped my hand and tried to drop it.
"Ah...... Please, Hamdan. Look here."
"Don't hold my hand."
"Why..."
"Don't grab it."
I looked back and stood it, but he didn't look like he was going to let go easily. In the end, when I raised my head, I was surprised that his expression was more miserable than I imagined.
If you look at it, 'Shall we go out of the club?' From the sudden question to now, he has never used that way of speaking.
If he's cold in blood rather than being hasty when he gets angry, he shouldn't have asked me to go out of the club, but I should have thought about me through the circumstances until now.
What does it all matter? I suddenly thought like that.
In the end, I failed to repel Eun Ji-ho, so I opened my mouth crying.
"Is it so wrong that I... like you?"
"What?"
Eun Ji-ho couldn't imagine that this would come out of my mouth.
In time, he groped.
"What are you talking about, that. We're in a relationship, but what's wrong with liking each other... Who says that?"
"I think I go through all the negative emotions I can experience when I like someone because I like you."
I said without answering his question. Then his expression was distorted even more.
When he finally let go of my hand, I stepped back and curled down.
While he looked down silently, I mumbled with my hands covering my eyes.
"You...... I think you're the harshest to me out of the many people who like you."
"......."
"I think I'm the only one being punished for liking you. what's wrong with you Even then and now, I'll only be hard on me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I managed to swallow the last word back. I was just talking about the last year and then fighting, but it won't be any fun if I bring it out in this situation.
No, but what will be different if I try to solve it well here?
When I just listened to the conversation between Eun Ji-ho and Hee-soo, it was clear that he had a crush on Hee-soo, and that he felt the need to meet someone other than me, even if it wasn's not.
It was more likely that it was just a friend's heart or habits than as a lover that I'm trying to soothe me like this. Someone can't stand touching their own people for a long time.
And I curled up even more and buried my face deep in my palms.
Your heart has already left me, so why do you have to hide it? If I try to hide it, it would make me feel uncomfortable, but why did you endure it?
Because I know that I made so many sacrifices to make it happen, because I don't think I can afford to find someone else anymore? Or he also thought it was a waste to go back because there were so many things he had thrown away.
aren't you stupid Even if it's true, I can't want to sink with you. Even if you'd rather sink alone, you can't want to do that with you. Rather than because of love, it was a kind of moral that Eunjiho talked about so much.
I thought that if he couldn't make a decision, I had no choice but to do it. It was better to escape with empty hands rather than sink with heavy loads.
Thinking about it, I finally opened my mouth.
"We, hair..."
But I couldn't even spit out two words and closed my mouth again.
In front of me, who closed his mouth and swallowed my crying, Eunjiho, who had stood still until then, asked with a pale face.
"What? What did you just say, Hamdan?"
"......."
When I didn't answer, Eun Ji-ho said again.
"No...... I'll just do something I didn't hear. If I leave pretending that I didn't see you cry even now, is that okay? Then what you just said, didn't you have?"
I shook my head, biting my lips. Then I sat on one knee in front of me with a deep sigh as if Eun Ji-ho had pulled up from the floor.
He said, smating my cheeks.
"You...... It's because of me that you're crying now."
"......."
I was about to shake my head, but I just nodded.
"Why are you doing that, can't you tell me?"
It was a gentle voice that didn't go well with the situation, but I couldn't easily take my mouth off.
In the first place, the conversation between Eun Ji-ho and Hee-soo was completely out of my imagination, so when I said I heard it, I couldn't even guess Eun Ji-ho's reaction.
Whatever the reason, as long as he has already decided to hide the facts, he will stick to that posture thoroughly. I was silent for a moment and then smiled leisurely and said, 'What are you talking about? Did you wake up less?' I asked, or with amazing acting skills, 'I've never said that. Didn't you hear it wrong?' and take it out
The most frightening imagination is that he looks at me with strange eyes and smiles, 'So, do you want to break up because you heard it?' was to ask And I'm giving a reason why I can't be satisfied with one.
It was most scary that even though it was a ridiculous logic when I listened to him, I could really be persuaded.
In that case, I'd rather... I bit my lips and was ready, so I suddenly raised my head to the flying call.
"Dah."
"......."
"You know I did pretty hard on reputation management even when I came to college."
I forgot that it was serious and I looked at him with a puzzle.
reputation ? If it's your reputation, it seems to be ruined according to what Kim Hye-Hill has already told me.
I didn't care about my expression like that, and Eun Ji-ho spoke.
"Pyeongpan is quite convenient. It's the same thing as someone else has some fantasy about me."
"......."
"What this means is, even if I act out of common sense, I say, 'He's not that kind of thing easily. Would you have done that if you were so?' It means there are a lot of people to do it. They don't even fit me into their fantasies, so they want to be recognized as 'a familiar' with me."
what the hell....... I looked at him smuggly. Eun Ji-ho, who smiled at me like that, said again.
"When I thought of dozens of things I could do using my reputation, when I didn't know you were crying because of me."
"So......?"
"Even if I knew it was because of me, I don't think I shouldn't do it."
I blinked blankly. what ?
Eun Ji-ho, who slapsed one knee and got up from his seat, said again.
"You say you're crying because of me, but the fact that it just explodes now doesn't mean it has anything to do with this club anyway."
"......."
"So, if you open this club as soon as possible, it will solve anything...... Even if it doesn't solve, if the club is dissolved anyway, we will come out, so whatever the cause will disappear naturally."
"Hey, you, that's a threat..."
That was all I could say. Even that was so surprised that I got hiccups, so the end of my words became strange.
Eun Ji-ho grabbed my nose and shook my nose, which suddenly started hiccups.
He said lightly as if he was shrugated.
"The threat is that you asked me to break up first."
"......."
"Suddenly, I was tied to a rope and pushed in front of the sea, where is the person who will be calm? No matter what anyone says, this is not a threat, it's a struggle."
I'm going to break up the club with the answer to break up, but it was a threat over there and it was ridiculous, but I couldn't answer because of the hiccups.
When I could hardly stop the hiccups, he sighed and swept my back with one hand.
It was a very sweet touch for the innocence who just declared that he would blow up the club.
* * *
In the end, Eun Ji-ho's threat, no, I, who couldn't win the struggle, confided in Eun Ji-ho that I overheard the conversation between him and Hee-soo.
His response was completely different from my expectations. He replied with a frown, no sign of embarrassment or a look of disappointment.
"If you're going to listen, I'd rather listen to it till the end."
"What?"
Is this something to say so light, now? He explained his own way to me, who was ridiculous. In other words, Hee-soo had been in mind about Eun Ji-ho before MT, and Eun Ji-ho, who had noticed it earlier, just went out for a while with the intention of organizing it clearly this opportunity. I'm sure it's the last time this conversation is the last time.
I frowned and asked.
"'I told you to listen to me that I had a fight with my girlfriend.' What is it?"
Where the hell is there, 'I don't want to get close to you, so don't come near me.' Do you mean that it contains the meaning? I don't know if it's the other way around. No, it's the opposite no matter where you look.
Then Eun Ji-ho, who shrugged his shoulders, answered.
"If that's the case, what I was going to say wasn't 'I had a fight with my girlfriend', but 'the fact that I have a girlfriend', I definitely nailed it. Lee Hee-soo is not a normal bet, so I couldn't help but check my mind one more time."
It's funny to declare that you don't approach someone who doesn't like me. I tilted my head at the words that Eun Ji-ho added. It's not a normal bet?
"Why isn't that senior a normal bet?"
"Don't you know? Lee Hee-soo, it's a similar kind to me."
He hurriedly added that he looked at my attention.
"It's not about the tree that gives generously, he's a natural kid in terms of reputation management. The reason why he called me first before he called me that 'bea' funny nickname, what do you think it is?"
I frowned late as I thought about the meaning of his words.
"Then don't tell me that..."
Did you deliberately use me to avoid the accusation of pretending to be too close to Eun Ji-ho?
After all, what Kim Hyung-cheol said to me was a big deal that the people in the club were friendly to me in order to get along with them, but I couldn't avoid the feeling of being overly critical when it came out of Eun Ji-ho's mouth.
I said it again
"Isn't that just because I want to be close to you? I talked to you a lot at a drinking party before I came to MT, and I'm more of a motive with you than me......."
"In that case, I'm the same sex with you, and I think I'm the same age because I'm the only student number? Besides, you called me so friendly and didn't talk to me at all when you came back. Even when I got back to the accommodation."
"......."
Even when I heard that, it was still confusing. When I was still making an expression that I still don't know, Eun Ji-ho sighed and said, 'If you don't see it, I can't help it.' and said
And he spoke.
"Because each person has a different standard of view. Maybe I'm the one who calculates and acts on them all, so the process is different, but the result is that I'm numb to see the same Lee Hee-soo. I know, he's really nice to be a person, and it's natural to be a military man from the beginning."
But I'll doubt it. I sent a ridiculous look at him, adding like that.
This somehow solved the misunderstanding between him and me, but there was a bit of an unfair side to move on like this. If you really knew in advance that Hee-soo likes you, shouldn't you give him a message before you go out?
Your boyfriend is going out to talk to another woman alone in the middle of the night, but where is your girlfriend you won't care about? And even the content of the conversation is like that, so of course I have no choice but to misunderstand.
At that time, I heard Eun Ji-ho's small murmur.
I lifted my head.
"So...... you asked me to break up because of that."
"No, that's."
To me in embarrassment, he said with a bitter smile.
"You said earlier that you seem to be the most painful among the people who like me, but I think you don't believe in me the least among the people who like you."
"......."
The air surrounding us suddenly became heavy. The sky, which was full of stars, became cloudy as if it had been watered in an instant. When I blinked without saying anything, Eun Ji-ho smiled lightly and seemed to be trying to turn the topic around.
I caught him like that.
"No, wait a minute. It's wrong for me to conclude and break up alone, but it's not necessarily a matter of trust. isn't it The situation itself was a situation that had no choice but to be misunderstood."
I spoke in a hurry.
"For example, yeah, I told Minwoo, 'Well, everyone said earlier that they had a fight with their boyfriend, actually, I told them to listen to them.' Say what you're saying. What would you do?"
"What would you do if I were you?"
Eun Ji-ho made a face that he had never imagined such a thing.
As he folded his arms for a moment and rolled his eyes, he said with his sunken eyes.
"To interrupt and bring you in right now...... I'm sure it will ruin the reputation of both you and me, so I can't."
"Yeah, that's right."
I responded immediately.
"But I'm hiding and listening to it... I can't do that because there's a thousand dollars inside."
"Yeah, I did that."
But, 'If you're going to listen to it, I'll listen to it until the end.' Make an insensitive sound.
When I slapped him in a minor way, Eun Ji-ho stepped back with a poking look on his face.
And while looking down for a moment, he added.
"I thought about what happened later and stepped back, but if you came to me later and treat me with the expression that nothing happened..."
I saw it with anticipation.
Yeah, there's 'What just happened?' There's no way it's possible to ask. If so, 'How far did you hear it?' In addition, 'Do we want to break up?' There might even be a story.
In time, I laughed bitterly. In fact, the fact that he was reluctant to bring it out of his mouth even after the thing got to that point, is proof that I didn't want to break up with him even though I was sure that his heart had left. Even though I was more determined than anyone else that I should cut him off in my head, this contradictory words and actions.
Then Eun Ji-ho's answer finally came back.
"You'd better not cheat on you as much as possible."
When I raised my head, I saw Eun Ji-ho's complexion so dark that it couldn't be compared to what I just now, and it hardened.
He laughed and spoke.
"Because I almost did something sorry just thinking about that senior's life."
I, who had hardened for a while, barely regained my mind and replied with a frown in my eyes.
"You, this is a threat, too."
Eun Ji-ho said it bluntly.
"No, I'm struggling."
"You keep using it because it works once, right?"
Even in my threness, Eun Ji-ho kept laughing. For a moment, too, he stretched out his arms and wrapped around my waist.
what is it Embarrassed and looking at his face, I was surprised to find his pale complexion. Are you still anxious?
In the end, I accepted his hug calmly.
I mumbled, leaning gently in Eun Ji-ho's arms and stuck my nose on his shoulder. Look, you're so anxious just by imagining it, and you should have kept listening to me.
But I was trying to prevent the problem, and I definitely refused, so I'll just take care of it. Thinking like that, I hugged his waist even more.
After a long time, he let me go and he opened his mouth again.
He looked into my eyes very close and said.
"But you don't usually ask me to break up without explaining anything to me. why did you do that ?
I made eye contact with him and hesitated to answer.
"That's it...... You kept saying meaningful things before and after MT. At the get-together the day before the MT, everyone said, 'I had a fight with that girlfriend.' And so what I said."
"And?"
"Even when you were eating, you suddenly came to me and told me that the butterfly was originally a tribe that carries this flower and that flower. So I think it's of course......."
He cut my words and asked.
"Wait, what the hell did you accept it?"
"Di't you compare yourself to a butterfly?"
Eun Ji-ho sighed deeply at my question and swept his hair.
He muttered as if he was ridiculous.
"I'm going crazy. Do you think I'm going to make a propaganda blow? That's not me, it's what Kim Min-woo said. The senior liked Ban Yeo-ryeong until last month, but I think he likes you this time, so be careful."
I replied with a frown.
"What? Why does the senior like me? You are a creative misunderstanding, that. The senior is just taking care of his newbie as a vice president......."
"Yes, in your eyes, Lee Hee-soo's doing to me is good, and Kim Min-woo's doing to you is just good-minded. So what has humanity survived, not love, until now?"
Eun Ji-ho, who cut my words, said sarcasticly with his unique tone. Oh, I've said many times that I don't like it.
As I shot it lightly, he was coughing and immediately rolled up his tail.
"Yes, that's right... But if Minwoo asks you to meet alone, be sure to tell me before that. Let's meet near where I can go right away."
I answered with a pouting.
"You've been talking alone, and you just told me."
"I went to refuse."
"If I'm going to refuse, can we just meet together?"
"No."
"Look."
As the conversation seemed to be getting longer, I wandered around and found a stone wall at the height of my waist and sat on it.
Eun Ji-ho groped over the stone wall, took off the vertical stripe of the southern part that was wearing on top of his short sleeves and wrapped it around my shoulder.
I looked at his face as he approached and said suddenly as he was getting closer and distant.
"You know, I'm a little scared when you say, 'I need time to think.'"
My voice slowly scattered over the wet air at night dew.
Eun Ji-ho, who took off the south and took a step back, looked at me. Long eyelashes cast a shadow over his cheeks.
He asked in a puzzled way.
"Why? I told you I'm not angry. Aren't you relieved with that?"
I hesitated for a moment. Should I say that's what I heard just before I broke up with my brother?
No, you don't have to do that. I shook my head Above all, there is a reason why I am more afraid of Eun Ji-ho's words more than anyone else.
and I said
"If you say you're going to think about something by yourself, then something terrifying happens."
"'It's smless'?"
Eun Ji-ho frowned and imitated my expression.
I nodded and said
"Okay. Because look, when I was kidnapped after the party you invited me in 1st grade, as soon as you met me, you said, 'Do you want me to break up?' You said that first."
"......."
Eun Ji-ho frowned without saying a word.
"Okay, you thought you couldn't compensate for the shock I received no matter what you did because you worried too much. That's why I came to the conclusion that I should cut off the year with me. That's right, does it make sense to break up with a friend who just got kidnapped?"
"......."
"And in my senior year of high school, when I was 'again' kidnapped by Choi Yu-ri, when you suddenly regained all your memories and showed up in the hospital."
When I said that, I secretly squeezed my fist a little.
"What I was thinking while waiting for you at the time was...... I had to hear an excuse or apologize for the things so far, and then vowed never to do it in the future. But you chose to find your memory even while putting yourself in danger."
"......."
"So I didn't have any chance to ask you about the things that were going on. Because you've already paid more on yourself."
"......Do you hate that way?"
When my words were finally over, Eun Ji-ho asked cautiously.
I shook my head small.
"That's not the case, but I'm afraid of what other conclusions you're going to come with, what kind of sacrifices you're going to make."
"......."
"That's it, but I don't know what you're thinking these days. After dating, you didn't really tell me what you thought."
When I changed the subject, Eun Ji-ho stared at me with black eyes as if there was no floor.
I put my hands on my lap and added.
"Anyway, I'll say what I don't like or what I'm sad about on Kakao Talk later. Then I make a mistake like last time, but..."
I scratched my cheeks without talking.
"But you always say I'm sorry for that, I know, I'm going to fix it, so I don't know what you're actually thinking about me."
Only then did Eun Ji-ho open his mouth.
Contrary to usual, he said in a slow tone.
"Why are you thinking about what I'm thinking? as it looks If you tell me what you're sad about, reflect that you feel that way, promise you'll fix it, and type it in your head. That's it."
"Isn't it frustrating? I mean you're one-sidedly matching me. You also have your standards or values."
"There's no such thing."
"What are you talking about?"
I became more and more frustrated. If it was a brigade brother who was really vague compared to others, there couldn't be such a thing for Eun Ji-ho. Because in most classes, he was a rational, quick brain-rotator, fair and sober critic. He can't help but feel any discomfort with my usual demands.
But I keep saying something different from the truth, so I don't want to fight, so I want to do this.
Eun Ji-ho said again with a woman's vore.
"I'm good at following you without thinking."
"What?"
"I'm like a sample of nurturing active talents, I am."
what are you talking about I soon realized that I was frowning at his fat words. He's sarcastic about his father's way of education that he wants to grow up to be an active person without giving him time to breathe.
And I sighed. Indeed, considering the environment in which he grew up, I understand that it is rather easy to follow without thinking. but.......
"I want you to talk to me and walk rather than follow me without saying anything. That way, we feel like we're walking together."
"......."
"That way, you don't get tired."
I sighed deeply and mumbled again.
"The reason I'm sad or angry with you is that most of the time you don't explain why you're acting wrong. Like the Timber gun before."
"......."
it was then Eun Ji-ho, who had been silent for a while, finally opened his mouth.
"What do I usually think, should I say that?"
"Uh? uh."
Unexpected words, I answered with a little embarrassment.
Then Eun Ji-ho, who was looking down with dark eyes, said.
"It shouldn't be wrong anymore, but I think so. always . always."
I opened my eyes wide at that word. wrong what the hell I've never asked him any problems.......
He spoke in a sinking voice.
"For the other thing, if you get five questions wrong, I feel like I've already got yours wrong on the test you fall. But there are still a lot of problems left before me, and I must be on to this test."
"......."
"So I thought I'd rather go back to the front and calmly look back on the wrong answers so far. Then I was wondering if I wouldn't be wrong anymore. I was wondering if I could at least suspend the period until I was eliminated."
I finally called him in a trembling voice.
"Jiho, you..."
I asked
"Did you feel like I was testing you? Every hour, every moment that was with me."
"That's not it. This is just......."
He said in a sighing voice as he swept over his hair.
"......It's my qualification."
I couldn't believe that the word 'qualification' came out of Eun Ji-ho's mouth.
He sighed at me as I blinked, and he said again.
"When I said earlier that you seem to be suffering the most because of me, I replied that you didn't trust me the most, but I know the truth. I...... of the many people who appeared in front of you, the thing that might not be the most suitable for you."
"......."
"I took a test paper full of incorrect answers for the first time in my life, and I thought I wanted to steal someone else's score. How reassuring they can reassure you, how they can make you happy."
Finally, he made a statement.
"Unlike them, I don't have the wisdom to choose the right answer you want in advance, so I thought I should give you a choice at all. Because it's much better for me to follow it if you choose."
I opened my mouth for a long time when I was looking at him with eyes that looked like I was going to cry.
"Eun Ji-ho, why do you think this is like a test? I know you have very different thoughts and values from me, and I don't hate you that much just because you bump into it."
"I know, me too. with the head."
Then why...... I was about to say that, but I soon shut up.
In fact, the idea Eun Ji-ho had almost the same as what I had. As we've been together for a long time, we know too much about each other's over-choices, so I can't help but doubt that I'm trying to be the best of the other person's but trying to be the top priority.
After a long time, I opened my mouth again.
I said, holding his hand by reaching out his hand under the slightly flowing southern sleeve.
"Eun Ji-ho, you...... The way you resolve conflicts with ordinary people is a little different. I usually think of all kinds of miscellaneous things, so I bought them, and I hug them, and if you do something wrong, you suddenly hang up."
"......."
I smiled lightly at him, who blinked his eyes like a child.
"It's not normal, I don't usually give it well, but if I do something wrong, I'll give it while paying attention."
Only then did he turn his head and respond.
"He seems like he's trying to solve it with money if you give him something wrong, and it's like a bribe."
Do you want me not to do that? I quickly shook my head at his cautious question.
"No, I have no complaints because I guess that's why you do that. But you...... If you think you've made an irreversible mistake, so, like the things I said earlier, I feel like I've been very clumsy since then."
He grabbed his unanswered sleeve and leaned his upper body forward and I spoke.
"Think about it, whether the fault you did to me is an irreversible or not, all I want from you is an explanation of it."
"......."
"But I think you think I can be forgiven only if I fully compensate for the damage I suffered. And if I can't make up for the damage I've been hit by you, at least you have to take that much damage."
I sighed lightly instead of talking.
"You said you wanted to give me a choice, but don't you think that way would rather take away the choice from me?"
Eun Ji-ho's hardened gaze turned to me.
I was talking
"In the kidnapping case, you asked me, 'Do you want me to cut off?' I was so sorry to say that I would give up on being forgiven, but that's why I had to forgive you, or lose you completely, or choose between the two."
"......."
"That's what happens after that. Because you take such an extreme sacrifice, I...... I just forgive you, I couldn't argue about the actions at the time, nor could I ask for an explanation. That's how we pass by without saying anything about those days, so it pops out suddenly only when I'm so emotional......."
I said it again, frowning at the thought that it was rarely delivered easily.
"I mean, you accidentally hurt me and hit me because it makes me bleed."
It was only then that he raised his head and refuted.
"Why do you take such an example? ominously."
"Oh, anyway, listen to it. What I want at that time is as usual, 'I'm so sorry. it was a mistake I will never do that again. Does it hurt a lot?' But you hurt the same part by yourself, and then you saw the blood, 'I'm so sorry that I made the same wound. But I can't help it if you don't get better. It's better to hurt more. Instead, you have to forgive me.' and I'm saying Don't you really know what the problem with this method is?"
"......."
I asked him again, who still didn't say anything.
"Why don't you want to explain or apologize for that? It's much easier on the other side, too. isn't it ?
I don't think Eun Ji-ho, who was so desperate for me, will set up something like pride again. Eun Ji-ho opened his mouth for a moment in front of me thinking like that.
"What's wrong?"
He hesitated a little more and finally got the answer.
"......'I'm sorry' is something you can say even if you don't have it in your heart, and 'It was a mistake.' is just an excuse, 'I'll never do that again.' It's a promise that has no basis or promise, and 'Do you hurt a lot?' It's a meaningless question. Listening to it doesn't relieve your pain."
"What?"
"How can you be compensated for something like that?"
No, what the hell are you talking about? I asked, saying that I was ridiculous.
"It's just like that, why do you ignore the pinnacle of human communication development? The words people say the most in their lives are 'thank you' and 'sorry'."
"If I hadn't done anything wrong in the first place, you wouldn't have to hear that. Apology is a natural reward and the price you have to pay is even greater than that, so why do you get angry with that?"
"What I want is not to lose less than you, but just know what you think? Actions are already enough, so I want words, not actions."
"Even if that's just an excuse?"
"Can't you let me judge whether it's an explanation or an explanation?"
Even when I said something frustrated, Eun Ji-ho didn't answer at the end.
I suddenly said as I was staring at him, avoiding my eyes, and keeping silent for unnaturally long.
"Jiho, you...... The reason why you, who are usually so tactful, are so clumsy only in front of me."
"......."
"You, that's also anxious after all, right? Just like I said earlier."
Eun Ji-ho didn't answer even to me.
I bowed my head with a sigh.
In fact, Eun Ji-ho could have done it in words. As I said earlier, he was always logical and quick-witted in discussion classes, and in fact, it meant that he was not only strong in most quarrels, but also good at making up words in his own favor. Reputation management is also not an easy task unless such an ability is based.
Nevertheless, he decided to sacrifice himself instead of persuading me with words, because he didn't want to leave any anxiety about me alone. In other words, rather than apologizing with words, examining my reaction, and figuring my success or failure, I thought I would rather choose a way to be forgiven for sure. Let's make sure I don't have to forgive him.
The fact that he asked me to break up with me right after the kidnapping, and the fact that I had regained my memory until I was in danger of losing myself...... I covered my forehead and sighed.
No matter how much Eun Ji-ho's clumstingness was attributed to his anxiety, it didn't change the need to change the way he had to do it.
If it were like this, I wouldn't be able to argue about anything about what happened to me, and the feelings between us wouldn't be resolved, and it would remain like a sediment, and every time the feelings between us soared like a wave, it would suddenly come to my mind.
At that time, Eun Ji-ho's voice flew again. I stopped worrying and looked up.
He looked at me with still sunken eyes and said.
"You are right. I actually understood that I might put precipitation first for the reason you said, that it might rather limit your options."
"Yeah......."
He said to me, nodding his head.
"I know I have a problem with my way, and I have to fix it. But...... I want you to know that it's not necessarily just for that reason."
"Then?"
He pricked his eyes slightly and brought it out.
"I, one of the habits you have is that you like and feel sorry for...... when you're sad, you laugh it off."
all of a sudden ? I asked with a puzzle.
"When am I?"
"It's often like that. Even when I was presenting the ruined photos earlier."
"Is that something you have to do to be sad?"
"I went to take pictures for hours and I couldn't get anything, so I'm glad it's sad?"
"......."
He kept me quiet with a few words, and he lowered his eyes and spoke.
"But you say it with a smile, and you, as well as others, make it careless. I think it's great, but on the one hand, I feel a little sorry. I think it has become a habit for you to take your sadness lightly."
"......."
"I mean, you know, I've been wielding my pride to the fullest. Maybe that's why people put more weight on my emotions as well. When I express my gratitude or apologizing, people who hated me also say, 'There's no need for this,' with a sloppy face. That's funny."
I listened to him without even breathing.
"But you've been in an environment for a long time where no one takes it seriously even if you say you're having a hard time. In an environment where your sadness doesn't weigh a star."
Eun Ji-ho, who sighed, reached out and held my hand.
"So, I hope that at least the weight of the emotion that goes back and forth between you and me will be the same."
He spoke calmly to me in silence.
"I can say sorry to people I don't like, and I can say sorry to people I don't have anything to. It's much easier than it's to compensate with something else material. But I don't want to do that only for you. I don't want to benefit from you that way."
"......."
"I want you to be rewarded for your worthless grief with something else, rather than my worthless words. That's why I'm trying to reward with the most valuable thing I've ever had."
It was only then that I opened my mouth and asked.
"Is that yourself?"
"Why, is it wrong?"
Only then did Eun Ji-ho, who had a usual open smile, added.
"At least for myself, I can't hurt anyone unless I want to."
That point was actually the most different thing between him and me.
I sometimes felt like a gravel being helplessly swept away by the waves on the beach, and sometimes I felt like a flyer rolling around in the pouring rain or the scorching sunshine.
I hated that feeling the most. I feel like I don't have control over myself.
But Eun Ji-ho was different. He has always lived in confidence that no one can hurt him but himself, and he didn't actually allow anyone to hurt him carelessly. Maybe that point won't change in the future.
by the way.......
He pulled my hand and put it on his cheek.
"I only gave you the right to hurt me."
"......."
"So please save it."
When I heard that, I bowed my head for a moment.
His words were still far from what I asked for.
All I want is for him to explain to me why he had no choice but to do so, apologize, and soothe my feelings, because the way he wants was the exact opposite of what I wanted.
Indeed, I guessed that he would have been reluctant to explain his feelings because it wasn't right like this.
But, nevertheless...... I suddenly stretched out my two legs that were playing under.
When I put my feet behind Eun Ji-ho's calf and pulled them toward me, he floundered and fell toward me.
He didn't balance for a while, barely holding my shoulder with both hands and standing right.
He said in panic.
"What are you doing all of a sudden? Hey, if I just fell, you got hurt."
I hugged his back without giving him more room to talk.
With a very embarrassed frozen breath in my ears, I said.
"It's so good, Eun Ji-ho."
"......."
How on earth is it possible to love someone else in the environment, personality, values, everything that has been growing up perfectly? I'm only looking for the answer to him now.
Eun Ji-ho, who was hugged by me in a panic, was hardened like a mannequin. Then I kept hugging his neck and didn't let go, and finally he moved.
He said, smating his lips on the hair that covered my temples.
"I don't know anymore... What about the club, what about the outside."
"Oh, wait a minute, Eun Ji-ho, hey!"
I exclaimed that I had a premonition that things would get bigger, but he didn't have the trouble hugging me and kissing me. He put his mouth on my eyebrows, on my cheekbones, and he hugged me eagerly, with his arms behind my neck.
At that very moment, there was a sound of a branch breaking by someone's weight from the back. I hurriedly ripped off Eun Ji-ho, who pretended not to hear it at all even though my ears were brighter than me.
"Hey, wait a minute, Eun Ji-ho. Come to your senses."
Eun Ji-ho pretended not to be listening to me, but when I kept avoiding kissing, I finally looked at him. In his eyes, 'Do you have any for it?' I felt the meaning was intense.
When I looked around the place that turned popular, I laughed awkwardly.
There, not only senior Hyung-cheol and senior Min-woo were standing side by side.
Minwoo's mouth was smuttered as if he couldn't get any more.
"You, you guys..."
"Wait a minute, then the person who said he was secretly dating Eun Ji-ho..."
On behalf of Min-woo, who can't talk, Hyung-cheol spoke.
I smated my back of the head and laughed awkwardly.
"Haha, yes...... what. I'm sorry for hiding it."
It turned out to the whole world that Eun Ji-ho and I were dating. I was fortunate to be able to reveal it on the club MT day as promised somehow.
* * *
The next day, I woke up in a hangover and headache like any MT morning. It was comforting to feel refreshed because I made up with Eun Ji-ho safely yesterday.
After washing my face and brushing my teeth waiting for someone else to come out of the bathroom, I realized that people in the same room were throshing my eyes.
Oh, by any chance...... I said before one of them even opened his mouth.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You heard, yesterday's work......."
At dawn, they said to each other, 'What? really ? Oh my god, awesome.', 'I'm going to wake him up, let's go out and talk.' I remember hearing you talking.
It's not that I didn't feel the need for clarification, but I couldn't get up because I was so sleepy. Also, I thought it would be a cushion for them to talk to each other in advance before I could reveal it with my mouth.
When I looked at me with a sorry face, I didn't seem to have a negative conclusion.
I said again that I tied my hair.
"Actually, I was going to reveal it in this MT, but as you heard from Eun Ji-ho, he and I will fight on the day before MT comes. We don't even talk to each other, but I go and say, 'Hey, do you tell the club that I'm dating you?' It's a bit hard to do, so......"
"Ah, that's what happened. no ! You don't have to be sorry at all. We heard that you're dating Eun Ji-ho in the morning, what should we do, why did we ask you about the rumors, and we were in trouble. Didn't you feel bad that we asked yesterday?"
"Yes, it is a widely known fact that Eun Ji-ho and I are middle and high school classmates, and after hearing the rumors, it was very probable. I'm really fine."
"Fortunately."
The seniors and classmates who sighed with relief naturally changed the topic. 'So why did you fight with Eunjiho before you came to MT?' Well, we can talk about this tidy. To put it bluntly, it's a more black history for me than Eun Ji-ho.
I'm talking about the historical tradition of our group chat room (as everyone is like that) about filming black history, but I suddenly remembered that I couldn't see a person.
It's the same that I can't see Yeo-ryeong, but she must have gone for a walk earlier because she doesn't have a nap in the morning, and is Hee-soo the type of senior?
I asked
"Oh, but where did Hee-soo go? I don't think I can even see the luggage."
"Hee-soo took a taxi as soon as it was bright. They say you have a bad stomach. I guess I ate something wrong yesterday."
"Ah."
And I asked again.
"Isn't it dangerous even in the morning? It's in the mountains, and I don't drive much."
"Minwoo went with me. Min-woo is also not feeling well."
"Ahhh."
I nodded and smiled awkwardly.
I think I know why Minwoo's body is not so good. Maybe Hee-soo is a similar reason.......
I don't know, they have nothing to do with me anymore. Even if Hee-soo likes Eun Ji-ho, he can't be shaken, so I'm not nervous at all... And Eun Ji-ho won't be anxious anymore because of Min-woo, right?
When I remembered yesterday's conversation, my shoulders shook again and I felt like I was going to laugh. oh no I'm hearing the sad story that the two of them went to the hospital in a taxi because they were not feeling well, but if they suddenly laugh.
I barely endured laughter with desperate efforts, and I talked about what happened the day before yesterday.
"What, Dan, you, drinking is so funny."
We were all about to come down the stairs together, and I saw Eun Ji-ho sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. In fact, other people gathered in the living room or in the yard, so there was no one around it.
Eun Ji-ho, who is sitting alone without anyone around, is it unusual? I asked when I ran.
"Eun Ji-ho, what are you doing alone here?"
Only then did he look up and look at me and he said calmly.
"Oh, I was exiled."
"What?"
"I had a girlfriend in the same university, even in the same club, and I pretended not to be in a relationship with anyone, pretended to be noble, and pretended to be lonely, so I told you not to come down from the couch. The moment you hit the floor, you'd be sentenced to death."
I told you to sit still and watch TV and fill in the knowledge of the mass media that I lack. I grinned as I listened to him adding a little depressed.
Eun Ji-ho looked at me with such a puzzle.
"Why don't you get any punishment?"
"Me? I was congratulated?"
"What? congratulations ?"
I've just been hit by a lot of headlocks in my room, but it's unfair, this. I looked closely at Eun Ji-ho, who was grumbling like that, and even when I woke up, my hair, which was usually neat, was messy.
I said with a sorry expression on my face.
"Oh, do you want me to carry it for you?"
"What?"
I thought while Eun Ji-ho was visibly embarrassed. oh wait At first, I was just trying to make fun of you, but this is okay? By the way, I've never carried Eun Ji-ho.
I said with my eyes shining.
"Eun Ji-ho, since you're talking, can't I really carry you once?"
"What? how do you carry me If you fall, you will die and I will die, too."
"Oh, why. You don't look that heavy. You know I'm strong."
As I kept begging, he looked embarrassed because he didn't know I was sincere.
He replied with the idea that it was ridiculous.
"Hey, since when did you start to be energized? Isn't you confused for a moment because everyone around you are strong? Like a sheep who grows up among wolves and mistakenly thinks he's a wolf. And I'm not that light. If you're bored, you can sit next to me and watch a drama."
He said heartlessly, but I stubbornly pulled his arm. It was to prove that I was never weak.
But somehow, even though I did my best, his body didn't move.
Then he suddenly sighed and pulled me.
"Kya."
"You really seem to be confused with half of you, but each person has a different field that they are good at, so don't be too heartbroken and watch a drama."
He pulled me and sat next to him, hugged me with one arm and said.
No, whether it hurts or comforts, I only do it. I'm afraid someone isn't the male protagonist of an Internet novel, so he does everything that is harsh and affectionate.
I was pouting, and I suddenly looked at the side again. I thought that this composition, where he sat on the sofa with one arm on me and watched TV, was a composition that I had seen a lot of.
Indeed, there was something that came to my mind when I was looking at the side face that came to my mind in the dim light that came through the curtains. A long time ago, I remembered watching TV together in the morning when I went to Yoon Jung-in's villa.
He, who wasn't in a relationship yet, stroked my hair and made a naughty prank, and I.......
When I was faint for a moment, Eun Ji-ho, who suddenly kissed my side of my head, whispered a little.
"I wish there were just the two of us here."
By the way, he said something similar at that time. To be precise, 'Can't we just go on a trip next time?' was it
I blushed quietly. No, if you look at it, you didn't even have a relationship at that time, but in what spirit did you say that? What am I saying that I was good.
Of course, it was because he had a heart at that time.
But somehow I couldn't get rid of the feeling that I was moving in a huge net with Eun Jiho woven.
When I was in a bad mood in an instant, I tried to get out of Eun Ji-ho's side, and Eun Ji-ho hugged my waist with both arms and didn't let me go.
Hyung-chul, who entered the living room at the same time, said.
"Guys, it looks really good, but please keep in mind that we are here, too."
"Oh, yes."
Eun Ji-ho, who immediately took his arm off my waist, said politely, holding both hands on his lap. 'I'm sorry.' I don't know who the child is, but one way to apologize was like he had learned it properly.
Hyung-cheol, who lightly shook his head, said.
"No, what. I'll be back soon, so make sure you don't have any missing luggage, and Jiho, you can get off the couch now."
"Yes."
When I saw Eun Ji-ho coming down from the sofa at once, I made an absurd expression on my face. No, you mean it wasn't a joke that you were being punished?
Eun Ji-ho, who pinched my cheek lightly just before laughter burst, turned around. After that, 'What happened to them more than Ban Yeo-ryeong and Kwon Eun-hyung.......' I heard Hyung-cheol's vague murmurs. Haha, laughing awkwardly, I quickly turned around and ran away.
A peaceful morning passed like any MT, and on the return bus, I leaned against Yeo-ryeong and slept. After getting off the bus, I rubbed my still sleepy eyes and greeted everyone.
"Goodbye. Be careful on your way, you guys."
"Yes, Dan. See you on Monday."
As usual, the woman who popped out from behind Eun-hyung, who smiled calmly and spoke, hugged me as if I would never see it again. In fact, the two of them were about to go on a date on Sunday from now on.
The owner stretched out and said.
"Whhhh, I'm so sleepy that I can't do anything. It's amazing that you're going to play more even if you play like that."
"Anyway, shall we just have your heart to play at school all day and go home and play again."
Eun Ji-ho intervened and became sarcastic, and the owner looked at Eun Ji-ho with strange eyes and said, 'Leave it.' And somewhere, he left an ominous warning and disappeared. Lastly, Yoo Cheon-young said.
"Goodbye."
I was already half asleep, so I was so nervous to spend it alone.
I said with a face that I was worried.
"Yoo Cheon-young's brothers are coming to pick you up, right?"
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry. I'll go after seeing Cheonyoung go."
"Please, master."
I was willing to leave Yoo Cheon-young's see-off to the owner who spoke cheerfully, and turned around, holding Eun Ji-ho's hand. As we couldn't have time for the two of us because we've been fighting since the day before MT, we were about to go on a date even today.
I said with a grunt.
"Eun Ji-ho, where shall we go? You don't have a car today, so should we take the subway and go near the school? Now that it's been announced in the club, you can go there as much as you want."
I used to be so afraid that I would be looked at, but now I think it doesn't matter if I can keep looking at it with this feeling.
Eun Ji-ho, who smiled at him, said awkwardly.
"Uh, that's it."
"Yeah?"
In time, when I found a familiar body over the corner, I frowned and looked back at Eun Ji-ho. He still said with a smile.
"We made up, so I want to go to a place with no people and a good atmosphere..."
"Oh, what."
Honestly, what caught my mind was not that I was riding a car, it was something else.
The place where I got on the bus and the place where I got off are different, so there's no way the car was parked here from the beginning, and I'm saying that I made the driver have a hard time on the weekend and leave the car here.
I put my hand, which was sighing lightly, on my cheek, and Eun Ji-ho said as if pampering.
"Instead, I'll go to the place where everyone has a parking lot. that's right yeah ?
As expected, Eun Ji-ho, I was also going through the reason why I didn't like to drag him out when he was dating.
Well, as long as the car is already here, there's nothing we can do. If we say we don't ride this, the driver will only have a hard time taking it back twice.
I answered with a sigh.
"Instead, we have to break up early today. In time for the subway to be cut off on the weekend. If you come in late until Sunday, your parents will be suspicious."
"Of course. It's the day MT is over anyway, so I can't stay that late either."
it is then When I put my hands on his hand again, he became relieved and turned to a relieved face and headed for the car.
The date that followed was the same as usual. We had brunch at an outdoor cafe in the middle of the mountain with a good view, and as it was the flower season, we couldn't beat the bee's attack and moved indoors. After that, I talked for a long time and finally moved to dinner.
The atmosphere of the restaurant that Eun Ji-ho chose because he was careful was really good. The fake candles lit on each wall burned orange as if trying to assist the interior that wasn't bright, and there were no partitions between the tables, but there were enough space, so I was able to talk comfortably.
Above all, there were no obstacles, so I could see the sky slowly changing its color over the rounded walls made of glass. When the sunset flashed and fell, people who were busy talking to each other bumped into each other's glasses, often looked at it and were mesmerized.
As the sunset fell, the sky changed from orange to purple, and then changed its color to purple, the blinds that were half-covering the window completely disappeared and the slit star-like lights were turned on around the bar in the middle. By that time, Eun Ji-ho stopped me when I was about to empty a bottle of red wine and order a new one.
"I'd rather drink white wine, it's subtly three degrees."
"Oh, is that so? I don't usually drink red wine, but the one here is delicious."
"Isn't it because of the atmosphere?"
"Is that so?"
I tucked on the slightly sgrained cheeks. Eun Ji-ho, who was looking at me like that, said.
"I think you really like it here."
"Yeah? yeah . It's good to see the scenery outside, the lighting inside is good, and the wide table space is also good. I like it because everyone is quiet. The food is delicious, too."
"If I knew I would like it like this, I should have brought it earlier."
Looking at Eun Ji-ho, who said that and smiled a little, I said, 'And you too.......' I quit while trying to say. He tilted his head slightly and asked.
"Yeah?"
"No, nothing."
And I thought with my eyes down again. In fact, the reason why it made me excited more than anything else was that the food in this restaurant was delicious, not because the atmosphere was good, but because the conversation with Eun Ji-ho was fun today.
It was like that even before the alcohol went in. From having lunch in the bright outdoors to talking at a cafe, there has never been a silence like when we said something that shouldn't be said between us.
I felt like I was talking to someone in the world who knew each other's hearts best, and even a joke or a hand gesture kept bursting out laughing.
Maybe this is also because I brushed off the accumulated sediment while talking with Eun Ji-ho yesterday? I looked at Eun Ji-ho with a more generous heart because I got a drink. Because through yesterday's conversation, he and I got to know each other's hearts better.
There was something I was avoiding all the time for fearing that it would explode if we touched each other, but only after we got rid of it, I realized once again that it was possible to face each other completely.
Eun Ji-ho touched my cheek, which was spinning around thinking like that.
"You're sleepy right now."
"Yes, a little bit. how did you know ?
"Because you feel sleepy when you drink."
And he pushed the chair and got up from his seat.
"If you drink more, you can't go home. let's get up I'll take you there."
"Yes."
I got up from my seat without rebuttal. I was conflicted with the idea that I wanted to drink more and sleep here if I drank more.
When I came outside and got a cold wind, I woke up a little. And I felt like I woke up together.
Eun Ji-ho waited for me for a while to get some fresh air.
"Did you wake up a little?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you go for a drive with me for a while before you get home? The place I wanted to go was around here."
all of a sudden ? I was puzzled, but I nodded obediently. If Eun Ji-ho, who has a difficult taste, wants to go with me, it couldn't be a bad place anywhere.
When I got in the passenger seat, he put a seat belt. Then he started to turn back cautiously, turning the steering wheel.
By the time he ran off the parking lot on the sloping road, he opened the roof of the car. I laughed a little as I grabbed Nabuki's hair. I said
"Wow, it's been a long time since I opened the roof of your car. I forgot that this is a convertible."
"Because I don't open it well either. Especially in this season, the pollen falls off."
"But why did you open it all of a sudden?"
Not long after, I realized the answer to the question by myself, so I kept my mouth shut.
Cherry trees were filling both sides of the narrow two-lane road. The sight of the white petals with the street lamp light gradually scattering was so unrealistic that it was as if I was dreaming with my eyes open.
I've been so sentimental all day today that I felt like I was going to cry for some reason.
I, who had been watching the scenery for a while, spit it out blankly.
"It's so pretty."
"This is the cherry blossom road that I told you to come before."
"Ah."
When he saw me who had lost his words for a moment, he smiled and said again.
"I thought you'd like it, too."
Seeing him say that, he had already come this way more than once.
oh yeah He took me there, and he went around here a lot while picking me up again. I can't recommend this place just because he saw it on the Internet in the first place.
And I got a frown on the tip of my nose again. Nevertheless, it was because I remembered the reason why I was fiercely opposed to him coming here.
I was wearing a jaw and looking at the scenery, so I suddenly called it.
"Eun Ji-ho."
"Yeah?"
"We decided to do it together with Timber, do you want to do it alone?"
"I don't care. If only you're okay."
It would be funny that I even got annoyed about the problem and suddenly changed my words, but Eun Ji-ho answered without any such a sign.
Then, suddenly, as if he noticed that my voice was trembling, he glanced at me.
I couldn't see it openly because I was driving, and I kept squinting with my eyes and he asked.
"What's wrong all of a sudden? do you cry ?
"No? It can't be like that."
When I said that, I hid my expression and buried my face in the hand that was holding my chin. But it seemed to have brought some conviction to Eun Ji-ho.
He spoke again in a softened voice.
"Tell me, why are you crying all of a sudden."
"No. for real ."
"It's not something. Oh......."
With a sense of shame, he sighed, he just found the shoulder, and stopped the car. He was freed from driving and looked me straight and asked.
"What's wrong?"
I couldn't run away anymore, so I hesitated.
"The day I went to see the flowers with you, I just thought it would have been nice if I had come here as you said."
Then Eun Ji-ho, who had a trembling expression, answered.
"Is that something that even makes you cry?"
"No, actually, I secretly looked for you that day...... It didn't rain here."
"Ah. . . . .
I touched the seat belt with two hands and spoke.
"But I was stubborn to go to the Ttukseom for nothing, so I thought of the clothes getting wet, and I was afraid that there was someone I knew, and I walked around the street every day, and I went to the room cafe and even hit you... If I had done what you said, I would have been able to see pretty cherry blossoms in the car like
"Why do you care so much about what has already passed. I already told you that it was all good that day."
"Still."
"What did you say earlier, Timber, to do it alone? It has something to do with this, right?"
I couldn't easily keep my mouth off his words of conviction.
I, who was so sweet on my lips, said it after a long time.
"You're always right, but I think I'm always wrong."
"What are you talking about?"
I spoke with my head down.
"Actually, as you said, I'm not confident that I can do well with Timberf while I'm busy. But I want to do it, so I thought I should do it again, so I said I would do it because I was stubborn."
"......."
"But if you're right this time, I'll ruin what you could have done better by yourself and make damage for nothing. ..."
What scares me more than I can't be with him was the imagination that it might have been better if I wasn't with him.
I mumbled as I rubbed the area of my eyes spread with the back of my hand.
"Eun Ji-ho, just like you're afraid that someone else could have been a better option for me, so am I. I'm afraid I'm going to ruin the right decisions you made. So I think it would be better if I wasn't by your side......."
Then I listened to Eun Ji-ho and raised my head.
"Hamdan, I told you. I always don't think of anything else, I just think about whether my answer is right or not, by your standards."
He kept saying in a satience that he didn't look like him to me, wide open his eyes and look up at him.
"My answer is right if I like you, and I'm wrong if I don't. I asked to come here, that I just said I would do it alone, because I thought you would all like it. But you said you didn't like everything. Then I couldn't get the right answer."
"...... Wouldn't you be really sad?"
I asked as I was still looking at him with wet eyes.
"I might have to go back to the road that I could easily go because of me, maybe I'll get lost, so I might have to see other people who are not better than you going ahead. Are you really okay with that? It's not the one who chooses the same answer as you or listens to you, even if I'm next to you."
Then the answer with conviction came back.
"I'm okay to get lost and wander a little with you."
"......."
"It's okay to get rained, it's okay to eat unsavory food, and it's okay if there's nothing going as planned. Everything was good with you."
When Eun Ji-ho, who said that, dropped a kiss in the palm of my hand, I couldn't stand it anymore and bowed my head.
Eun Ji-ho, who looked at me with such a soft eye, said again.
"You're not going to cry anymore."
"Yes."
"Everything that didn't have a good time has been solved."
"Yes."
"Then let's get in the car again."
I got into the passenger seat as he led without a word.
As I stared as I watched him brush off the tangled petals on the side mirror, I suddenly asked.
"Ji-ho."
"Why?"
"Can you see me while driving?"
Then he looked back at me and answered with a smile as if he was making an unknown sound.
"How do you think I see the rearview mirror?"
"Ah."
It was literally an answer that made me speechless.
While I was squeaking silently, he came into the driver's seat and started.
I only looked at his side face the whole time he was driving the car.
His face smeared in the light of the street lamp and white petals flying like snow in the back, so his face looks even more like a fantasy.
Then I suddenly mumbled.
The reason I wanted to walk side by side instead of seeing the flowers in the car with you is because I wanted you to remember me in the flowers as much as I remember you in the flowers.
So that even if you see cherry blossoms with other people, you can't help but think of me on it.
I might want to have a memory of all your things and places. So just like when you're trying to take a new footprint on top of an already-s-s-printed-print that aren't fully engraved, just like you can never erase the presence of an already-s-s-s-s-s-printed footprint, even if you want to prevent you from meeting someone new.
I don't want to take it away anymore even though I want to give you everything, and I don't want to take it anymore even though I want to have everything.
Can I really call this heart of love that you think you should send you to someone else if you want, but that you will never be free from the memories with me?
I closed my eyes and opened my eyes. At that time, I caught my eye on the film camera, which was quietly placed in the back seat with a rear mirror. A long leash was winding around the camera as if it were a snake.
I said as I was looking at it.
"Ji-ho, I have another question."
"You have a lot of questions today."
Even though he said that, Eun Ji-ho said, 'What is it?' I asked
I chinped the camera in the back seat.
"You didn't tell me what you took in the end. What did you take?"
"Oh, that?"
And at his reant reply, I held my breath for a moment.
"Of course I didn't take any pictures."
"......."
"You said you can't think of anything other than you on that topic. But I'm about to fight with you because I secretly took a picture of you, but I can't take a picture again and submit it and pay four months....... Moreover, it was uncertain whether to reveal our relationship to the club or not."
I, who had hardened for a while, barely answered without showing it.
"Then let's just take another one. The scenery was good and the weather was nice, so it would have been good to take any picture."
"Why do I have to leave you and take another picture?"
When Eun Ji-ho didn't even look back at me, I only bit my lips.
At that time, he spoke again in a low voice, as if he had read my mind.
"And that's what you just said. You're not really someone else, I asked if it would be okay if you were by my side."
He still looked ahead and said.
"Now that you're next to me, why can I imagine myself being with someone else at a different time, in a different place."
"......."
Once again, the street lamp flashed by our side and the white light quickly glanced through his forehead, nose and cheeks and disappeared.
Once again, the wind blew and the petals fluttered.
I said as I was looking at it.
"Eun Ji-ho."
"Yes."
"I want to go to your house like this."
I was pretty prepared and thrown something else, but there was no answer.
I was looking at the side with my bag and looked at it, asking carefully, because I was looking at what was wrong.
"Eun Ji-ho......?"
"If I hadn't just been on the straight road, I would have bought it."
"Ah. . . . .
"Don't say anything for a moment for our safety."
As he said, I held my bag and stayed calm like still water.
After a long time, he barely opened his mouth.
Like a person on a big hurdle, he sighed after a long time and asked.
"Would you like to regret it?"
"I don't."
Even with the willing reply, he looked like he couldn't believe it.
I looked at his side face and said with strength.
"You never made me regret it after we started dating."
"......yeah."
After a silence, Eun Ji-ho replied heavily.
And he changed the direction of the car. Looking at his side face, which had hardened with tension, I leaned my cheeks on the window again and closed my eyes.

As a club assignment, I took a film and submitted it. Someone asked me the meaning, so I said, 'Love is a memory.' I looked around, but I was the only one who knew the film was actually empty.
I'm a selfish person who calls his heart of love that he won't make memories with anyone other than me, but I'm so thirsty that I have to have all of his films.
But I think my film is already all his, so I thought it was okay with that.
And we won't find a new film.
