I woke up early and left the house to attend morning classes.
When I opened the door and came out, the person I saw yesterday was in front of the elevator.
"Hello?"
"Hello. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to school..."
"Ah... I'm going to clean up the store."
It just so happened that we were going the same way, so we ended up going together.
"Come to think of it, I didn't even ask your name..."
"Oh, I'm Kim ○○."
"I'm Kim Yohan. If you're going to school, are you a college student?"
"Yes. You... don't look that old..."
"Oh, I didn't go to college and opened a store right away, so I'm 20."
"Huh? We're the same age? Haha"
"Really? Then should we just talk?"
"good!"
As we talked like that, the path to parting ways with the school came up.
"Bye. See you later when I go to work~"
"Hey... if I take you there... would that be too much?"
"Oh... I'm sorry. I think my boyfriend will hate it..."
"So you have a boyfriend after all..."
"I'm sorry...ㅠ See you later"
"huh!.."

When I arrived at school and went into the classroom, Lee Ji-hoon, who was also taking the lecture, was already there. He was with my bubble tea and his Americano.
I used to ask people to buy me bubble tea every day, and now it's automatic.
"How do you really eat that bitter thing...?"
"It's so delicious... why are you eating that weird round thing..."
"Hey! Are you ignoring the bubbles? They're so delicious..."
"Let's live together respecting each other."
"okay"
I just remembered my friends calling Lee Ji-hoon "Mom." I stared at him for a while, dumbfounded, and then he took a look and spoke up.
"Uh, why...what.."
"Hey. How come you're my mom?"
"What did I say... I've been like this since the first time I met you?"
"I think we need to put some distance between us."
"...Now? It's only going to get stranger."
"madam!...."
"Why? Kids used to call me that in high school too."
"????what?..."
"Didn't you know? The kids all asked me if I was raising you."
"Hey! If I could have raised it, I would have raised it. Why did you raise it?"
"This is ridiculous... ha... I took such good care of you."
Then, Kwon Soon-young came in and said hello.
But he felt that it was not the right time to say goodbye to us, so he immediately put on the crouching mode.
"...What...did you two fight?"
"Hey... Even back in high school, didn't the kids tell Lee Ji-hoon that they would raise him?"
"Huh?...Huh..."
"See? I told you, you were the only one who didn't know."
"This is ridiculous...it's shocking."
"Is that all...?"
"I was taken care of by that idiot..."
"Ah, ○○. Now that I think about it, I saw you on my way here earlier. Who was that next to you? Your friend?"
On the way here...? Next to me... ah, Kim Yohan
"The owner of the store next to our cafe"
"Wow. You're the boss? You look so young..."
"He's the same age as us. He didn't go to college."
"Seungcheol doesn't hate you?"
"Oh, I haven't told you yet."
"You'd better hurry up and say it. Senior, you're causing trouble."
"It's okay. I already told you that I have a boyfriend."
"Just in case~"
We might make eye contact while our bodies are far apart lol
Lee Ji-hoon is going crazy, trying to kill himself by cursing.
When I glared at him with the intent to kill him, he quickly apologized.
"You're really going to die..."
"sorry.."
After class, I was about to go to a cafe with Soonyoung and Lee Jihoon, but there was someone in front of the school gate.
"Huh? ○○~"
"Kim Yohan? Why are you here?"
"Ah... My older brother lives here. I was going to give him something..."
"Really? Are you on your way to the store now?"
"Yeah. Do you want to go together?"
"Okay~ Ah. These are my friends."
"Ah...hello"
"Is this Kim Yohan?"
"Yeah. This is Lee Ji-hoon."
"Hello! I'm Kwon Soon-young!"
Somehow, four people ended up going together.
Maybe because Kwon Soon-young wasn't shy, she quickly became friends with Kim Yo-han... but Lee Ji-hoon didn't say a word on the way there...
I've always been shy, but...this is getting worse..
"Ji-Hoon over there!"
"huh?"
"You play volleyball too?"
"Ah...uh..."
"Can I come see you next time?"
"...That's what you want."
"Ah.. I see..^^;;"
...This is seriously serious. This kid is speechless right now.
Fortunately, Kwon Soon-young helps out in the middle...
"Ah! Lee Ji-hoon. Didn't you have any clothes to buy?"
"Huh? Really? Come to our store from now on.."
"Ah... I have a separate place to buy clothes..."
"Oh, I see.."
"...Would you like to have dinner together sometime?"
"Good! How is it, Jihoon?"
"..Because our practice ended late.."
"..Oh, I see..."
It's ruined... This can't be saved...
"...Lee Ji-hoon, Seung-cheol oppa, what time does it finish?"
"I think he'll finish quickly today?"
"Even if it doesn't end quickly, something like that happened to you yesterday, so you'll come quickly."
"Who is Seungcheol?"
"My boyfriend who I spoke to this morning haha"
"Hey.. isn't that Seungcheol hyung over there?"
I followed Lee Ji-hoon's finger and looked towards the cafe, and there was my real brother standing there...
Wow...is that handsome guy really my boyfriend..?
"Huh? ○○ah~haha"
"Brother! Why are you here?"
"I finished practice early today... I told Lee Ji-hoon, but he didn't hear?"
"No, I just heard it."
"There's a friend next to me I haven't seen before..."
"Ah... Yohan is the owner of the store next door and also lives next door to us."
"Oh, hello..."
"..Hello, you're next door?.."
"Yeah. He's handsome!"
"No...don't do that,○○"
"..I see. He's handsome^^"
You're so refreshing that your popularity is skyrocketing haha
My brother said with a forced smile.
The more he said that, the more Yohann didn't know what to do and just said no.
"Haha... thank you. I heard that ○○ has a boyfriend."
Oppa, look at your clothes going up. Haha, you must be feeling good.
At that moment, I saw senior Jeonghan coming out of the store, whom I had been hearing about for some time.
"Don't give me credit~ I'm more handsome^^"
"Oh, that's surprising..."
"○○ came to work early? Is this your friend?"
"yes!"
"Oh...you're handsome...want to work at a cafe...?"
"Ah..I..I'm working at the store next door.."
"The store next door? It was empty..."
"It will open tomorrow."
"The boss chose good employees. I'm sure there will be lots of customers."
"...That senior..."
"huh?"
"Yohan is the CEO haha..."
Senior Jeonghan was already surprised at Yohan, who was running the store.
"Wow... Really???"
"Hey. You're doing business at your age too."
"Well, it's only a one year difference.."
The two decided to help each other and live together from now on.
In a way, it's a rival store, but... well... it's just how it is...
"Ah, ○○. Can you get some new coffee beans from the warehouse?"
"yes~"
"I'll take a look around the store while I'm here. It's okay since there aren't any customers."
"Brother. What about us?"
"You guys will come even if I don't tell you."
Seungcheol followed me in, saying he would help me.
I could hear the sound of people chattering in front of the store.
I searched for coffee beans with Seungcheol oppa.
There were so many similar handles that it was hard to find.
"Huh? ○○. Isn't this it?"
"That's right! Good job, oppa haha"
"What... am I a puppy?"
"Cute like a puppy~"
"You did that on purpose..."
"..? What about me.."
"You were praising another man on purpose, right?"
Did you really care that much? Haha. I guess I had some intention in it, but... I just wanted to tease you more.
"No, really? Yohan is really handsome. The girls in front of the school were asking if I knew him earlier~"
"...Really?...Better than me?"
How cute are those teary eyes...ㅠㅠ
If I add more, I'll cry... haha
"Just kidding~ My brother is more handsome."
"really?"
"Yeah! You don't believe me?"
"...If you do that one more time, I'll be nice to the girls too."
"Let's try it"
"I just bought my juniors a meal..."
"Try it, tell me. I'll do it too."
"...sorry"
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋAnyway, you're so cute, oppa.."
"Seriously, don't do that... I'm so anxious..."
"I'm a good guard. I'm a person who might run off somewhere."
"...I'll work hard"
When I came out of the window, everyone in the cafe was chatting away.
Somehow, it seems like we've all become close friends...
Ah...except for Lee Ji-hoon...
The next day and the day after that, we had many chance encounters...
These two were always awkward...
When Lee Ji-hoon and Kim Yo-han met at a convenience store
"Oh... you're Jihoon, right?"
"...Ah..uh..Kim Yohan, right..?"
"The other kids..."
"Because I'm listening to a lecture..."
"Oh, I see... See you next time."
"okay..;;"
※Materials are running out...what should I do^^;;
