"Is that good?"
I was the one who broke the silence first. Pointing at the blueberry cake Sanghyuk had been eating without saying a word.
"Yeah... want some? I'm kind of full now..."
"Thanks!"
Even after I swallowed, the sweet taste lingered in my mouth. A playful flavor, as if mocking my confusing situation right now.
... It's tasty.
"Ugh, I'm so full... I already ate all my lunch at the cafe?"
"Yeah. So where to now?"
"Somewhere to eat doesn't really work... want to go to a karaoke room?"
"I'm not very good at singing..."
"Then at least dance. You're in the dance club."
So we headed to a karaoke room. After paying for an hour, we decided what to sing.
"Actually, I'm really bad at singing haha... so you sing."
I handed the microphone over to Sanghyuk. Sanghyuk seemed flustered, but carefully searched for Taeyang's "Darling".
"You're still such a brat to the very end~ Even the last words as you turn away~"
"Ohhh~"
"Because of you~ everything of mine~ falls apart~"
"Yeah~"
"Darling you~"
Sanghyuk's voice was very unique and good. Refreshing, yet soft, kind of like Milkiss...?
"You're the only one for me~"
"Wow!! You're seriously so good at singing..."
"Ah, no, I mean..."
Sanghyuk scratched the back of his neck. His ears were bright red, and he only avoided my gaze. Wanting to tease him for no reason, I grabbed his face with both hands.
"...!"
His face was flustered and red.
"... Is that an apology or what. Sing me one more."
"L-let me do this one first..."
Sanghyuk pulled my hands away. Then he searched for another song. His hands seemed to be shaking a little.
"Oo-eh-oo-eh-oo-eh-oo~ My first serenade~ Oh why! I don't know, swear you'll like it~Oo-eh-oo-eh-oo-eh-oo~ My first serenade~"
"Wow... I can only be impressed..."
After singing a few songs like that, time flew by.

It feels like it's getting more and more weird^^...
I did register a new work, right?
For now, I've only got it registered...
It's not like I'm going to do all four at once; I'll finish this one and then properly serialize "That Convenience Store Part-Timer"
I'll come back with the short stories once every 3 days or every n days
And I'll come back to the work I registered this time whenever I think of ideas
I love you guys🫶
