My boyfriend on the volleyball team

42 . You look pretty today, want a kiss?

When she woke up in the morning, the female lead was lying in bed.


"....What...."
"I definitely fell asleep in the living room..."


Then when she turned her head, Yejun, who she’d thought would be sleeping beside her, was nowhere to be seen.


"...Where did Choi Yeonjun go...?"


The female lead opened the room door and went outside.


































Yeonjun was sound asleep on the living room sofa.


The female lead burst out laughing at the sight of Yeonjun.


The female lead sat down on the floor in front of the sofa and looked at Yeonjun, who was sleeping.


And then she muttered to herself.


"Sleeping well...."


The female lead poked Yeonjun’s face, as if he were sleeping so comfortably in her house that it was his own.


Yeonjun slightly scrunched up his eyes once, then kept trying to sleep.


"Pfft...."


The female lead kept prodding Yeonjun’s cheek.


Then, without thinking, she looked at the clock and saw it was already 7:40.


"Damn, what the..."
"Hey, Choi Yeonjun!! Wake up!"


Yeonjun stirred and opened his eyes.


"Hey, it’s almost 8 o’clock....!!"


Yeonjun blinked, as if he still couldn’t make sense of the situation.


Then he looked at the female lead.


"What are you looking at....?!"
"I said hurry up and get up....?"


Yeonjun pulled the female lead into his arms and hugged her tight.


"Hey... what are you doing?!"
"We’re going to be late...!!"


"Did you sleep well?"


"....?!"
"No, the problem isn’t that I slept well....!"











"I slept separately because I was afraid I might jump you while you were asleep."


"......"
"You crazy... bastard...."


The female lead was flustered by Yeonjun’s sudden outrageous remark.


"Even so, why did you sleep in the living room..."
"Weren’t you cold?"


"I was a little cold, but now that I’m hugging Im Yeju, I’m warm."


The female lead could do nothing while being held in Yeonjun’s arms.











Had about 5 minutes passed like that....


"Hey.... We need to get ready now....!"
"Hurry up and let go.. I’m suffocating."


"Just seeing Im Yeju the moment I open my eyes makes me so happy."


"I said okay, hurry up..."








"Let’s definitely get married."
"We look exactly like a newlywed couple right now."
"I want to still be doing this with Im Yeju ten years from now."


"...."
"I said I get it, so let go already...."
"I can’t breathe.."


Only then did Yeonjun let go of the female lead.

























"How the hell did these guys do so badly on this test?"
"I’ll hand out your report cards, so take them and be sure to show your parents~"


Amid the chorus of sighs from their classmates, the female lead finally felt like her first year of high school was almost over.


So she turned her head to look at Choi Yeonjun, but that bastard was sleeping again.


The female lead let out a deep sigh.


So she called out to Siyeon on the other side.


"Lee Siyeon- our first year is already over!ㅠㅠ"


"Wow, nice."


"Whoa."
"I’m so sad...."


"It’s vacation~"
"Hey, should we book a pension and go out together over break, the four of us?!"


"Wow, damn."
"So good!!!!"


"Okay~"
"Tell Choi Yeonjun too-"

"Hey, Im Yeju, but you guys."
"Slept together, right, last night?"


"......"


"The fact that you can’t answer means yes."


"No, we did sleep.... but separately."
"I slept in the room and Choi Yeonjun slept in the living room."


"Those damn kids."
"Tell your mother to come home soon."
"I left the house because I had to work, and one daughter brings a man home and just goes to sleep."


"Hey, come on, we didn’t... what, do anything?!"
"We literally just slept, okay?"
"It was only for the purpose of sleeping!"


"I knew it from the moment you idiots were late together today." (In the end, they were late.)




























On the way home from school






"Choi Yeonjun, Yeju and I and Lee Junghyeok are going to the PC bang, so are you going too?"


"I have to go to my part-time job."


The female lead looked at Yeonjun and deliberately made a pitiful face.


"Aah.... don’t do that-"
"Come on... please?"


Yeonjun looked at her and let out a small, cute chuckle.


Then he patted the female lead’s head.


"No-"
"I need to make money."
"There’s only a week left."
"I have to pay everything back within a week."


"Tch...."
"That doesn’t mean you go straight to your part-time job after school....ㅠ"
"This is the first time we’re hanging out in a while after finals!"


"I’ll text you after work."
"Okay?"


"Yeah....."


The female lead looked disappointed.






















At the PC bang, before she knew it time had flown by, and it was already well past 6 p.m.


The female lead checked her phone to see if Yeonjun had messaged, but he was still dead silent.


Then Siyeon spoke to the female lead.


"Im Yeju, wanna eat before you go?"


"Huh? Oh, no."
"I ate ramen at the PC bang earlier, so I’m full."


"Wow, you ate just one bowl of ramen?"
"And that was over three hours ago now?"


"I didn’t digest it."
"Just go have a date, the two of you, and eat together after a long time~"
"Do you think I wouldn’t notice that much?ㅋㅋ"


"Hah, really."
"Fine then-"
"So our Yeju really misses Yeonjun a lot?"
"Enough to give up dinner with us-"


"Ah, no I don’t..?"
"It’s not because of Choi Yeonjun!"


"It’s written all over your forehead."
"Like, 'I’m so worried about our Yeonjun that I can’t even eat~'"
"I’ve known you for almost 10 years."
"Do you think I wouldn’t know that?"


"Ah, no, that’s not it..."
"By now his part-time shift should be over...."
"He said he’d contact me when he was done...."


"He must be busy~"
"He’ll text you when he’s done, right?"
"Don’t worry and come eat quickly."
"How about your favorite dakbal, Yeju?"


"D-dak... dakbal....?"
".....Then should we...?"


The female lead almost fell for Siyeon’s temptation, but she did not give in.


Siyeon grinned.


"Ah, no."
"What do you mean dakbal."
"You two just eat together."
"I’m leaving, bye~"


"Wow.... You’re not going to cave?"
"Im Yeju would give up dakbal?"




















About two hours had passed since the female lead got home.


It was almost 9 p.m., but there was still not a single message from Yeonjun.


Worried, the female lead couldn’t take a bite of her meal and just stared at her phone.


She had already tried calling him about three times, but he didn’t answer.


"Something’s weird...."
"School ended around 11...." (They had shortened classes.)
"And now it’s 9."
"You mean he’s at his part-time job for 10 hours?"
"What if something happened...?!"


The female lead’s imagination ran wild.


What if he’d been caught by a kidnapper and was being held somewhere?


Or maybe debt collectors had threatened him.


Or maybe.....a traffic accident?!


"Ugh.... I’m seriously so worried."


While worrying by herself, the female lead suddenly turned on her phone and went into ChatGPT instead of calling or texting.


"Um... you know. My boyfriend said he’d go to his part-time job around 11 and text me when he’s done, but I still haven’t heard from him.... Could something have happened?ㅠㅠㅠ"


"Ah.... I get how you feel. If your boyfriend said, 'I’ll text you when I’m done with work,' but now it’s past 9 and there’s still no message, it’s natural for the waiting person to start thinking, 'Did something happen?' That said, there could be a lot of reasons for no contact. The job might have ended later than expected,
he could have been tidying up or eating with coworkers after clocking out, he might have fallen asleep for a bit because he was exhausted, or he might not have been able to text because his phone battery died or he was too busy. Of course, having those possibilities doesn’t make your worry disappear. Since he did promise, 'I’ll contact you,' it makes sense that you’re even more concerned. For now, it’d be fine to send a simple, 부담 없이 message like, 'Did you get off work? Are you okay? I was worried because I hadn’t heard from you.'"


ChatGPT understood the female lead’s feelings and sympathized with her.


Feeling that, the female lead’s eyes started to well up with a drop or two of tears.


"Hngh.... but... what if he got kidnapped or was in a traffic accident...? I’m so worried."


"If there’s been no contact for that long, it’s easy to let your imagination go there. Especially after hearing 'I’ll contact you when I’m done,' the worry can grow a lot as time passes.
But in this situation, it’s hard to say that kidnapping or a major traffic accident is the most likely explanation. When people are anxious, they tend to imagine the worst first, so it can feel much bigger than the actual probability. Right now, the more common possibilities are things like his part-time job ending later than expected, not being able to check his phone because of closing tasks, forgetting to text while heading home or taking a shower and resting, or his phone battery dying. If you’re really worried, it’s best to send one message like, 'Are you done? I’m worried because I haven’t heard from you.'
The female lead kept crying and crying without stopping.


"What if he really was in an accident..."


"He said he had to pay back his debt within a week, so maybe the debt collectors came looking for him first...."
"I should’ve gone and helped him too...."
"No, I should’ve just not sent anything..."
While the female lead kept crying, someone knocked on the door of her house.


The moment the female lead heard it, she abruptly stopped crying and looked toward the front door.


A familiar voice came from the front door.


"Im Yeju-"


"You asleep?"
"You weren’t answering your phone, so I came looking for you."
The female lead stood up right away and opened the front door.


Standing there was Yeonjun, greeting her at the door.


Yeonjun smiled brightly and looked at the female lead.


"Were you crying?"


The female lead threw herself into Yeonjun’s arms.


"Why didn’t you answer my calls!!"


"Sorry..."


"I didn’t know you’d come."
"And yet I still came looking for you~"
"You just show up without even being asked to come."


"You’re so sneaky, seriously-"
"Do you have any idea how worried I was..."
"You cried because you were worried about me?"


Yeonjun stroked the female lead’s hair.


"I’m sorry, Im Yeju."


"Huh?"
"I don’t know."


Yeonjun met the female lead’s eyes and stared at her intently.


"





You look pretty today.""
