I kept my mouth shut the whole way back to the lodging.
I’m still awkward about what happened earlier.
Just because we held hands for a second...
Because the tide comes in and out, we couldn’t stay long, and by the time we got back, the sun was still up.
At this rate, I have to stay trapped at the lodging without being able to move.
"Should we sneak out..."
I’d been watching Reels all day, and I got sick of it, so I muttered to myself.
"I’ll tell the teacher."
Why are your ears so sharp?
After saying I wasn’t going out, I turned my back on Sanghyuk and lay down.
... It’s way too quiet.
The only sound was Sanghyuk playing a game.
"Why did you pat my head yesterday?"
"... Dunno."
I glanced at Sanghyuk.
Sanghyuk’s ears were slowly turning red.
"Lose!"
An effect sound came from the game Sanghyuk was playing, announcing that he’d lost.
He didn’t lose just because we talked for a bit, did he?
He’s so serious about games that I couldn’t help feeling awkward.
Then dinner time came around. Today, we were eating at the hotel buffet. I waited for Haru to come out in front of Haru’s room.
"Hey."
"Ah!!"
Someone came up from behind and startled me by putting a hand on my shoulder. When I turned around, it was Taesan.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you trying to eat with Gu Haru?"
"If not, why else would I be here?"
"Then I guess I have to eat with Sanghyuk."
Taesan headed toward our room.
You idiot, Han Taesan. Lee Sanghyuk is already by the elevator.
clack-
"Oh, Taeri?"
"I wanted to eat together today. Han Taesan is eating with Lee Sanghyuk."
"Okay!"
We immediately started chatting and headed to the buffet.

Ririn, you’ve really lost your touch...
