But weren’t they going into an alley? I was the only one who quietly poked my head out and looked inside.
chu- chu-
"Gasp...!"
"Why? What, what is it?"
I covered Sanghyuk's eyes, trying to look inside, and pushed him away.
"D-don't look...!"
After dragging Sanghyuk back out to a crowded place, I finally let out the breath I’d been holding.
"No, what was it..."
"You can’t look..."
"Not even a hint?"
"Um... a guy...?"
Maybe our homeroom teacher and the homeroom teacher from the class next door are having a secret office romance...
'Ugh, I’m seriously going crazy...! Why did I even follow themㅠㅠ... '
Leaving behind a hint I couldn’t even understand myself, I looked around again.
"Look, there’s a cafe over there! You like dessert, so let’s go eat."
"Oh, yeah!"
By the time we’d ordered every kind of dessert, the table was already piled with five or six plates of nothing but dessert.
"Thanks for the meal~"
The sponge cake that vanished softly in my mouth after one bite, and the chocolate cake that lingered thickly on my tongue... so delicious.
Before I knew it, two plates had been cleared after one bite after another. But Sanghyuk just kept staring at me.
"...? What are you looking at."
"Ah, I just... because you were eating so well..."
"Why don’t you eat a little too?"
"No way. I’m going to wear a crop top for the talent show."
"You’re not gonna undo all that exercise over this, are you? Just eat it."
I held out a slice of cake, and Sanghyuk casually took a bite. Seeming to like it, he smiled, and a smile bloomed at the corners of my mouth too.
"Taeri, look at me."
"Huh?"
swoosh-
He brought his finger to my lips. Then, after pulling it away, to his own mouth.
"Ah, that... something got on it..."
Wait... then that must’ve touched my lips... an indirect kiss...?!
"You could’ve just used a tissue, you idiot..."
Sanghyuk seemed to realize what he’d done too, and the tips of his ears were bright red.
...What is he thinking about right now.

It’s kind of like... yeah... not great...
