The next morning, I woke up at 8 am for the first time in a while and got ready.
I usually skipped breakfast before coming down. Just as I was about to leave the house, thinking it was a good idea to come, I got a phone call.
" hello? "
" where are you? "
“Huh? It’s not even 9 o’clock yet?”
"What are you talking about? It's almost 10 o'clock."
The moment I looked at my watch, thinking that Choi Beom-gyu was talking nonsense, my heart seemed to stop.
I immediately hung up the phone and continued running along the dirt road without stopping.
Just before arriving at his house, I saw Choi Beom-gyu standing in the field with his arms crossed and a pitiful expression on his face.
“..haha..hello..?”
“..who is late on the first day? Huh?”
"Hey... I guess I can let that slide!"
"Okay... I'll go early next time."
" .. yes. "
Then a bright idea occurred to me. Should I pretend to be upset?
I was so curious about this kid's reaction that I was going crazy.
“But it might be a little late.”
“..? But you promised not to be late.. Are you mad?”
" .. no. "
“It all shows that I’m upset.”
“..I said no..!!”
“ㅋㅋㅋYou shouldn’t lie. I’m sorry, so let’s sit down and talk.”
Hey, he's sweeter than I thought. I thought he'd be more assertive and push me to get things done quickly. But the more I think about it, the more I like him.
"First of all, we're going to pick peaches today. Peach season is just around the corner, so we have to do it quickly."
"But what about food...? I didn't eat anything."
“Let’s work first and then have lunch together.”
" .. okay! "
After working like that for a while, about an hour and a half passed.
I was starting to feel hungry, and suddenly I felt really irritable.
“Beomgyu.. It’s almost 12 o’clock, let’s eat.”
“Are you hungry? Okay. Let’s eat!”
I went into Beomgyu's house, lay down on the sofa, and after a while, I ate the fried rice that Choi Beomgyu had made.
“Wow, this is really delicious!”
“Right? Thank you for enjoying the food.”
What, why are you suddenly being so kind? I wondered.
Maybe it's because I'm a little used to it now, but it felt incredibly strange.
After dinner, we sat on the sofa and chatted. He was the kind of person I could confide in, someone I felt comfortable with.
They laugh at each other's trivial stories and share their worries without hesitation. I've never seen a child like this.
This guy, I really wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, whether as friends or lovers.
“What are you thinking?”
“Huh? Oh, no.”
“Really..? Then shall we go shopping together?”
“Oh, really!”
