“That won’t work, huh?”

“Uh…?”
“Who are you…?”
Unhak said.
“Um… someone who’s friends with this kid?”
Hey, kid, quit trying to pull something
go do your homework already.”
“I’m not a kid, a-ny-way!! See you later, unnie…”

“Oh..! Go on.”
“Why are you messing with a kid lol.”
“lol, he’s cute, let’s go.”
“Yeah, but where are we going to do it?”
“Your place.”
“Huh…?”
“Then where are we supposed to do it?”
“At your place d…”
“Let’s go~.”
’Haha, he’s doing whatever he wants.‘
“Excuse me.”
“Come on in, nobody’s here so it’s fine.”
“Excuse me, may I come in?”
“Hey, let’s eat ramen.“
”Huh..? Ramen? All of a sudden?“
“When you go to someone’s house, you eat ramen first.”
”Who says that kind of bullshitㄹ..“
”Hey, where’s the pot?“
He was already holding the ramen, somehow having found it.
”Hey... just sit there. I’ll cook it for you.“
”Nice~ thank you.“
“Hey, eat the ramen.”
“Thanks, thanks, but aren’t you eating?”
“Not really... I’m not in the mood.”
“Then I’ll eat it all.”
Sanghyuk really did eat all the ramen by himself.
“Ah~ so good.
Thank you for the meal.”
“Hey... do you maybe need more...?”
“Nn, it’s fine. Hey, that thing—put some materials in my bag.”
“Here.”
We started our research.
“I’ll do this, and you do that..”

And so we did research until the sun went down.
“Ugh~ done.
”Hey, you worked hard.“
”You worked harder—you’re sick and all..“
”Ah, I’m... mostly better.“
”Aren’t you going?“
”I should go nowㅈ..“
Beeeep-
“I’m here...”

..? Who are you?”
“Uh... hello.. I’m Sanghyuk, Doa’s friend..”
“Oh.. haha, I’m Doa’s oppa.
Is your name Sanghyuk?”
”Yes..“
“Heh, are you good at games?”
“Ah.. haha, I’m decent.”
“Want to play a round?”
“Ah..!! Sure!”
So the two of them played games for an hour.
“Ah...! Hyung!!”
“ㅋㅋㅋ sorry.”
“Can I leave now?”
“Hey, I’m in the middle of something—why are you making a fuss?”
“Ah... hyung, I think I should head out now.
Time...”
The clock had already passed 9.
“Ah..! It’s already this late... I had fun today.”
“Me too. Let’s play again sometime.”
“Sounds good. I didn’t know Han Doa had
a boyfriend like this.. haha.”
“I-I-I’m not your boyfriend!!”
“Haha, hyung, I’ll be going now.”
”Okay, go~
Hey, Han Doa, see him out for me—your boyfriend over there.“
”No.. he’s not my boyfriendㄱ..“
”Goodbye.“
”Hey..! Let’s go together.“
“lol, why is your older brother so funnyㅋㅋ.”
“What are you talking about..”
“Ugh... it’s cold.”
Then suddenly, without saying a word, Sanghyuk
took off his outer jacket and gave it to me.
“.....?”
I looked at Sanghyuk.
“......h
Hey, I’m off. See you at school tomorrow.“

Sanghyuk, embarrassed, went into his house.
He makes my heart race again.
