''Hey, what are you talking about?''
Yeonjun stared at my question for a long time. He seemed to sense a strange, murderous aura. Only when I cautiously took his hand did he finally come to his senses and smiled brightly as he answered.
"Just kidding, just kidding. I'm fucking you that much..."
"What about me?"
"...No. I care about you that much."
His expression seemed somehow sad, and I found myself reaching out to touch him. He wasn't crying, but it felt like he was, and I wanted to wipe his tears away.
''I'll go. I missed you so much.''
''It was nice meeting you too.''
''Yes... I have never forgotten you or not thought of you for a single day in the 10 years you have been gone.''
Yeonjun smiled at me once, then jumped out the window again. Startled, I hurried to the window and followed Yeonjun's disappearance, but he was nowhere to be seen.
''What the... It disappeared like smoke''
His words, that he hadn't forgotten me once in the past ten years, somehow lingered in my mind. If they had stayed in my head, I would have thought of something else.
I stared blankly out the window for a long time, until someone knocked softly on the door.
dripping-
''I'm Subin''
''Come in, Subin''
Subin's voice was heard outside the door, and the door opened with an apology.
''The room...''
Hearing Soobin's words, I hurriedly looked around. The room was already full of my unorganized belongings, and Yeonjun had taken everything away, making it even more of a mess.
'' Ah... ahahaha... ''
Embarrassed, I just touched the back of my neck and laughed in vain. Subin chuckled, closed the door, and rolled up her arms.
''Can you help me organize it?''
'' Then thank you ''
Subin walked briskly towards the window where I was, with long legs.
''He's... grown a lot.''
''Is that so?''
Subin tilted his head cutely. For a moment, I hadn't noticed, preoccupied with his appearance, but the distance between us had suddenly become shorter. Subin flung open the window behind me, trapping me between his arms.
''Let's get some fresh air.''
''Smell...me?''
''...Choi Yeonjun came and went, right?''
''Huh...?''
''Don't even think about lying. I don't want to hear any plausible excuses.''
''How did you know?''
''It smells like Choi Yeonjun.''
With those words, Subin opened every window. I put on a playful expression and approached her, step by step.
''Uh, why...? ''
"Even if I ventilate the room and the smell of Yeonjun goes away. You're in my room right now. Then won't your smell fill my room?"
At my question, Subin looked at me with a serious expression. His gaze seemed to be searching me, and I unconsciously avoided it. Nevertheless, he stared at me persistently.
'' ...just what I was hoping for ''
''Can I put this here?''
''Yeah! Put it somewhere convenient! ''
Thanks to Subin, unpacking, which could have taken all day, was done in a flash. I collapsed on the bed, and Subin looked down at me, watching me closely.
''Should I go?''
''Oh, no! That's not it...''
''Then lie down next to me''
I said, patting the bed, and Subin lay down next to me without hesitation.
''Can I ask you anything I'm curious about?''
At Subin's question, I turned my head to look at her. Subin had already turned her head toward me and was looking at me.
''Anything.''
''Do you have a boyfriend?''
''No. There isn't any.''
''Have you ever had a boyfriend?''
''There wasn't any.''
''Have you ever confessed?''
''No. Not at all.''
''I've never received it''
''There was one, but I declined. I thought it would be rude to meet the other person lightly.''
'' ...call my name''
The more questions Soobin asked, the lower and sharper her voice became. Her expression was also frowning, as if she was feeling uneasy.
"Hey, I don't even remember your name. What if I tell you my name?"
Subin simply smiled silently. It was a pretty smile, but for some reason, it felt murderous.
'' Ah... ahahahahaha you're not my older brother, you're not Kang-Tyun, what is this? We're just childhood friends. ''
''I think I can do this much?''
''You're overprotective.''
''You can do this much, right? We're childhood friends, just like you said.''
'' Ha... okay ''
As I sighed, Subin began to chew on her nails.
''...I'm sorry, master, I didn't mean to offend you.''
"No, I think it's entirely possible. It's just a joke, isn't it? Sorry, I guess I was overly sensitive."
I held Subin's hand tightly. Then Subin smiled brightly and hugged me tightly.
''I heard you're going to go to school together.''
''That's right, I'll go with you too.''
"Yeah... It really feels like a dream. For the past 10 years, I've thought of you every single day without fail, and I've wanted to share my days with you. So... um... I wanted to go to school with you. I've missed you so much, words can't express it."
''This is my first time going to school in Korea, so please take care of me.''
Subin heard what I said and smiled cutely.
''You said I was overprotective''
''This is just protection''
''Just protection...''
Subin followed my words, chewed on them, then smiled brightly and grabbed my hand.
''Don't worry, master. I'll protect you.''
Subin looked at me and smiled faintly.
''I'll protect you, not Yeonjun or Taehyun. No, only I want to protect you.''
''Are you serious?''
''Yeah! Seriously. If you want, I can make what I said true.''
And he came a little closer to me. I swallowed hard and looked at Subin. We stared at each other in silence until Subin came over and whispered softly in my ear.
''I love you, and I mean it too.''
