The exams are over... You have no idea how hard these past three days were...
The exams are over T_T
"Wow... I think I got the last one wrong. What should I do?"
"Isn't that number 3...?"
"You idiot, it's number 5."
"...It's number 1, you guys"
I felt so sorry for Moon Jun-hui and Lee Ji-hoon, arguing back and forth over the wrong answers... No, wait! The exams are over, so let's not think about them. Now that the exams are over, let's just go all out...
You're going out today, right?
Isn't that obvious?
"..."
"Where do you want to go, ○○?"
I just want to rest at home.^^ I can't bring myself to tell those guys who are expecting it... what excuse should I make? Everyone knows Seungchul is going to visit Mingyu in the hospital... Ah... I was planning to rest at home today...
Just then, someone put their arm around my shoulder. Thinking, "What the hell, who the hell is this guy?" I was about to punch him when... damn it, Jisu sunbae.
"What should I do? I have a prior engagement with ○○ today, haha."
"We..."
I tried to retort by asking if we had a prior commitment, but he casually cut me off, said he was going to use me today, and quickly left the school. The kids called out to me from behind, but it was Hong Ji-soo's way. Who could stop him? He completely ignored them and left without looking back.
Did we have an appointment?
"Yeah. I didn't tell you, though, haha."
"...I'm speechless lol"
"You don't like it? I was going to do everything you wanted today."
"My plan was to rest at home today..."
"But I can't exactly go to your house, lie in your bed, and sleep while holding you... Come to think of it, that might actually be better, haha."
"...Senior, you're kind of a pervert."
"No way!
Since things have turned out this way, you take responsibility and play with me, senior.
I can always take responsibility for you somehow, haha.
I really wonder where people come up with comments like that... I hesitated for a moment after my senior asked where I wanted to go, and ended up walking down the street without looking where I was going.
Where should I go... I heard a new cat cafe opened, and I also want to go to an arcade for the first time in a while. I've also gotten interested in makeup lately, so I want to go look at cosmetics... Just then, a motorcycle came up in front of me.
The moment I whizzed past, Jisu pulled me inside. Thanks to that, I ended up being hugged by her.
"What's with that motorcycle... Are you okay?"
As the motorcycle passed, my senior looked back, glared at it once, and with a worried look on his face, asked about my safety.
"Yes... and what about you, Senior?"
"I'm fine, but are you really okay?"
Thanks to you, senior? More importantly, please let go now.
"You never know, maybe I'll be doing this today? Haha."
"...Are third-year students usually that sly?"
"Which other bastard did this besides me?"
Everyone does that... I was worried they might not be my friend lol
"Oh... Choi Seung-chul, Yoon Jeong-han..."
Are they really friends? I wonder how they are all so naturally gifted at making a line.
Do all third-year students act like that?
"Huh? What's all this in your hands? Haha."
"Ah... I must have gotten some pencil lead on my hand while solving problems."
"Ugh~ Give me your hand haha"
My senior took a wet wipe out of their bag and wiped my hand as if it were a familiar routine.
"How hard did you work to get it this dirty?"
The last exam was science, you know... it was difficult, so I tried to solve it somehow.
Good job, good job haha
My senior wiped off all the stains and took a handkerchief from their pocket to dry me. Smiling, they said it was all gone and stroked my head.
He seems like the kind of person who would treat his girlfriend well once he gets one.
Since you always take such good care of me, I suppose I might feel a little left out if you get a girlfriend... As I stared at my senior, imagining him getting a girlfriend, he also adjusted his height to match mine and stared back at me intently.
Why are you looking at me like that? Haha.
I'm a little jealous of the person who will become your senior's girlfriend.
"Uh, uh?..."
I'll treat you really well, senior.
"...Are you saying that knowing everything?"
What?..
I said that purely and literally because I thought you would be really nice to me, but I don't know how you heard it, and you kept clearing your throat in embarrassment, asking if I knew everything before I said it. Seeing that, I asked how a third-year student could be just like me, interpreting what I say on their own.
"You're the idiot~ Ugh..."
"...? What did I do?"
So, where do you want to go?
"Hmm... an arcade? I want to go for the first time in a while!"
"Okay, let's go! Haha"
We went straight to the arcade. It had been a while since I'd been there, so I was actually looking forward to it.
"Okay, what should we try first?"
"Huh? Senior. Are you good at claw machines?"
Me? Totally awesome lol
"Eh~~ really?"
My senior stood in front of the machine, telling me to wait a moment and promising to win a doll for me. Once, twice, three times...
"Senior, stop it... haha"
"No, I think it will work..."
Let's do something else, something different lol
"sorry..."
"Haha, huh? Senior, do you want to try that?"
I taught a shooting game.
"Ah, that would be finished if I did it..."
Huh? lol
"No, take a look. I can really do this well!"
Saying that... Hong Ji-soo, you can't get a single one right... just how on earth... haha. The senior went back into timid mode. The man giving out the dolls, who was watching from the side, also chuckled, saying it was the first time he'd seen a young man this incompetent.
I'd like to give it a try!
"That's difficult!..."
I know~ I'm just giving it a try lol
But what a surprise that I just tried on a whim.
I was able to easily receive a large doll.
"Wow! It's huge!"
"...Haha...Congratulations"
Even after that, my senior was slumped over....
Did I get too excited? Haha.
"Hey, senior, what's wrong?"
"...I wanted to win a doll for you..."
"Haha, really?"
My senior's face, looking as if the world had collapsed, seemed even more childlike than I had imagined. I took a keychain with a doll attached from my pocket and gave it to my senior.
"what's this...?"
What else could it be? It's a keychain.
When did you get it?
"Hmm... I saw my senior being the fourth to try the claw machine, so I played next to him for a bit and got this, haha."
Are you giving this to me?
"yes"
My senior hung the doll you gave him on his bag with a smile of pure bliss, as if he had never been sad. After that, we continued to enjoy the arcade, playing various games. As we played, the outside gradually grew darker.
Shall we go now?
Yes! Come again next time.
"Let's do that lol"
I was walking ahead excitedly when I didn't see a rock hanging near the arcade entrance and almost tripped. It's a good thing my senior caught me...
"Ugh... I told you to be careful, but you're always so disobedient."
"Isn't it fine since you didn't get hurt? Haha."
That's funny lol
"But you really take good care of me, senior. Even more than my mom..."
That's it...
My senior stopped walking mid-sentence.
"...I'm only looking out for you because it's you"
"Is that so? I think I'm super special lol"
"Sigh... what could I expect from you?"
After that, my senior took me home with a bitter smile.
