1. An atmosphere of awkwardness
" ... "
" ... "
" ... "
Yes. The three of us are walking together. We've met for the first time, and we're walking home from school together. But it's so awkward I could die... Ugh, why is Kwon Soon-young so quiet all of a sudden...
at that time -
"Uh... Since when have you guys been meeting?"
"Us..? In the first semester of my second year of high school, he said he liked me and followed me around.. Then in the second semester, I started liking him too and we started dating from then on..?"
Just thinking about that time makes me tremble even now, but Kwon Soon-young really liked me for a long time... What a special kid...
past -
"Hey lady~!!"
" ..? why? "
"Just! Because I miss you"
"..what are you saying"
Tak -
"Hey, follow me for a second. I told you I found a really good place! "
"Just try not to do it..."
The place that Kwon Soon-young took me to at that time was the flower garden where I had a big disagreement with her before, and there were so many pretty things there. There were flowers, clouds, and most of all, there was Kwon Soon-young who had a pretty smile.
" he.. "
"What~ What did you think of me?"
"Oh..no?!..//"
I think it's because I had Kwon Soon-young, who always said nice things to me and looked after me, that I was able to live a good life as a high school sophomore without any problems.
"You two really suit each other...Linda"
"Is that so in your eyes too? I told you that the heroine and I are a match made in heaven?"
"Kwon Soon-young, really..!!"
"Hey, don't you have a crush?"
"There was one time in middle school... but not anymore."
"Really? It must have been incredibly popular."
"I don't know how this will sound... No, it could be creepy. But that girl didn't give me any attention...? There's something about that... That feeling when you say, "You're the first girl to treat me like this that day..."
"I know what it is. Because Kwon Soon-young said it to me."
" .. Anyway, it was like that, but now it's a situation where I can't like him, so he"
"..?! No way.. you have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah. It happened."
"Wow... this is awesome"
"I'm home. Haha, everyone, go home safely."
"Okay! See you tomorrow Jimin~"
"..hello~"
So after Jimin went home, Kwon Soonyoung threw a tantrum and said she would take me home, and I had no choice but to allow it(?).
"Wow... It feels like it's been a really long time since I've been alone with you..."
"Really? No, but I saw it last time..ㅅ"
"What was it last time?"
"No! "
The infirmary has become a taboo word... Ha, my face turns red whenever I think about it... It's all because of Kwon Soon-young
"Just looking at it... it's the face I'm thinking of."
" ..?! No..? That's absolutely not the case..?"
"Is that right? As expected, the female lead becomes cute when she's embarrassed."
"...you know what I just felt?"
"Tch.. this is really too much"
"Ahem.. We're all here now. Go home quickly."
"I don't want to~ I want to go play at your house!"
"No. My mom and dad are here..ㄱ"
"I heard your parents went on a trip for a month last time."
"What?! Who said that..?"
"Your mother asked me to take care of you~ Then why don't you guide me home~"
..Why do all the people around me seem to end my life..Bang bang bang!! Oh..I think I've seen this somewhere..
So, in the end, Kwon Soon-young and I went to my house. After telling Kwon Soon-young to turn around, I quickly unlocked the door and ran to lock my room door. Phew... It's done now.
"Oh.. I came here once before, but it feels different now."
"Nothing has changed... Anyway, do you want to go get some dinner?"
"Um.. I'm.. "
bean -
"Ugh... If you talk nonsense, you'll die...? You could lose all your hair before that girl."
"..I'll keep quiet"
"Okay. First, tell me what's for dinner and then shut up."
"I usually just buy whatever I want at the convenience store."
"Continue? You said so?"
"Yeah. After my mom passed away, there was no one to cook for me... and even when I went home, there was no warmth from people, so the food didn't really taste good."
"..wait"
This kimchi is coming out.. First, take out the side dishes that mom made.. Oh, Kwon Soon-young, I like the soybean paste stew that my mom made.. Should I ask?
I picked up the phone next to me and called my mom, and she answered with a very happy voice.
"Hey, what's wrong, honey? I called because I missed you, mom..."
"I called because I wanted to see the recipe for soybean paste stew."
" Hahaha... This guy too... But why soybean paste stew? You like kimchi stew, right?"
".. Soonyoung came to visit.. She didn't eat dinner properly, so I was going to make her dinner while the two of you went to visit."
"Ah~ Well, Sunyoung likes soybean paste stew. The ingredients for it should be in the fridge. •••"
"Oh, yes~ Thank you."
So, after learning my mother's secret recipe, I headed to the kitchen and grabbed the knife with nervousness.
It went surprisingly smoothly and the taste seemed similar. Oh... it was good.
After a while -
"Kwon Soon-young! Serve the rice!"
"Okay~"
I told Kwon Soon-young, who was watching the dance on TV again, to serve rice. Kwon Soon-young said she understood and ran to the kitchen to fill two bowls with rice.
"Hey, do you want to eat meat too?"
"Huh? It's me... what"
"Then... wait."
I tried to get the grill on the slightly higher shelf to feed them, but it wasn't enough. Ugh... My height is really...
at that time -
Swish -
"Okay, okay?"
"Ah..oh, thank you..//"
Kwon Soon-young easily took out the grill and our distance became really close. .. My face must be red again.. Ugh, it's hot.
"Hey, why is your face turning red~ Our heroine?"
"..Shut up and eat. Aren't you going to give me meat?"
"Okay, I got it. Be careful when grilling the meat."
"Then you wash the vegetables. Can you do that?"
"Of course. Do you think I can't even do that?"
"Yeah. Haha, that seems plausible."
"..it's a horse"
So, I plugged in the grill, Kwon Soon-young washed the lettuce, and through a precise division of labor, we prepared dinner.
"Okay, then I'll eat well!"
"From now on, you should eat dinner at my house. If you finish late, you can sleep in and go home. Convenience store food is not good for you."
"Okay. Haha, but dad..."
"..? Why my dad?"
"Every time I come to your house to play... I feel like you look at me in a bad light..."
"Phew hahaha what? hahaha"
"..I'm serious..!! "
"What... My dad really likes you."
"Uh... Really?"
In the past, the day we had dinner together at Sunyoung's house -
"Hello! Mother~!"
"Oh my... you're Sunyoung~ You're handsome~"
" Haha, thank you! Oh, hello to you too, father!"
".. Are you our female protagonist's boyfriend?"
"Yes? Ah..yes!"
"Let's break up."
"Huh? "
"Dad..!! He knows it's real..! Stop joking around."
"..he stole you.. "
"Ugh...I"
"Stolen... Oh my, Dad is so weird."
"That's right. You should be very grateful that Soonyoung took Yeoju with her. Apologize to Soonyoung quickly."
" ... no! "
After eating dinner like that and going home to Sunyoung -
".. cute kid"
" ..?!! what? "
"Why? Because you're cute."
" .. dirty ugh.. "
"Anyway, you really have a good boyfriend. When he looks at you, it's like I used to look at your mom..ㅇ"
bean -
"You didn't see it like that? Sunyoung is sweet... Ugh, really, just play a prank on her."
"No..! The reaction is funny.. "
"Is this your dad?"
"Are you the kid?"
" .. Sorry.. "
today -
"That's right.. haha so don't worry. My dad likes you very much"
"That's good then.. haha"
"I don't know if it's a good idea to ask this question right now..."
" ..? "
".. No. I'll ask later, but I think it's best to leave it like this for now."
Maybe because of the question I askI'll ask you later because you might be sad.
So after we finished eating, Kwon Soon-young decided to do the dishes, and I went into the bathroom and washed up right away. Oh my... It feels so refreshing...
After showering, I went straight to the TV and turned on a variety show featuring Seventeen, the group I've been watching the most lately. Seventeen... Now that I think about it, our DanDong's name is Seventeen too. The main character here is Hoshi, but who would be the main character there? If it's Kwon Soonyoung, is it some twist of fate?
"Oh my...so cute..."
" ..who are you looking at?"
"Seventeen. Handsome, cute, and do it all."
" .. I am? "
"You're just guys"
"Women..."
"You also get goosebumps when you see girl idols! What about guys... sigh"
"..who is the main dancer over there?"
" Hoshi. Isn't my favorite so cute..? When he smiles, his eyes go up to 10:10.. and when he dances, he's so cool.. and he looks like a hamster.. and he's cute, cool, and sexy all by himself! And most of all, he looks like you.. huh...? What did I just say..?"
"So you liked Hoshi because he resembled me~ If that's what it was"
"No..! That's not it..!! "
Hook -
"..What, why are you laughing..!"
"It's just that we're this close... I was definitely the one who approached first, but I think I'm more nervous now haha. And this atmosphere is so good right now."
"You're the darkest on the inside, you punk..."
"Even if it's black. Even if it's black, you'll change it back to white."
"..Aren't you going home?"
"Yeah. I decided to sleep in today."
"Why is he like this today?"
Hug -
"Because our heroine is so good~"
"Heh.. You haven't changed either?"
" of course. "
" ..don't change? No matter what happens.. I like that too."
"Don't worry~"
2. When you are alone with a gangster
" .. That's what I was going to ask earlier.. "
"Oh, right. What is it?"
I lay down on the sofa and Kwon Soon-young on the floor, sleeping separately, and asked the question I was going to ask earlier.
"..How did your mother pass away?"
" ... "
"If you're having trouble, you don't have to answer.. "
"When I was young. When I was really young.. my father was in a car accident overseas. My mother had a really hard time at that time.. "
" .. huh "
"I thought my mom was the strongest and that she could do anything. But... when I was in 3rd grade of middle school, I suddenly got sick and went to the hospital.. "
" ... "
"My mom also had epilepsy. But it had already become so severe that it was difficult to treat. After that, my mom kept holding on until she finally got a call from her place of work to the school. She said she had collapsed. But she said she wasn't breathing."
" .. I see "
"I knew right then. I thought it was the end, and at that moment, my world was really falling apart. As soon as I got that call, I went to the hospital, but my mom was already..."
" ..it must have been hard"
"My mom... was really pretty, and when she smiled, she looked just like me."
" .. You must have been pretty. You really look pretty when you smile too."
".. haha it's okay now."
Pat -
"It's okay to cry in times like this. What's okay about crying when you're sad? Just cry."
"Then come down."
I went down under the sofa and although it wasn't dark, something heavy was leaning on my shoulder and I knew it was Kwon Soon-young. It had that familiar peach scent.
" .. It's not bad to lean on the heroine's shoulder"
"Really?.. That's good."
"I wonder if my mom is doing well?"
"Of course. They worked hard for you until the very end. And you've grown up so well, what could be more meaningful to parents than that?"
"I wish that were the case... with my mom and dad..."
"But you still don't cry. You're amazing."
" ... there's nothing particularly good about crying."
"When I was alone with you, everything was just great. Whether you were crying, laughing, throwing a tantrum, or talking excitedly... I cried."
"It's really touching.. haha. Then just wait a minute.. "
" okay.. "
Then I heard a quiet sob, and I felt my shoulders growing increasingly clammy. The sobs grew louder, and I could only hold her quietly and comfort her. She was still a child, and even when she was really young, she had never received the touch of someone other than her mother.
Soon the sobbing became quiet and only the loud breathing could be heard, as if she was asleep.
" .. You must have been really hurt.. But thank you for telling me."
" ... "
"It must have been really hard, but thank you so much for taking the time to tell me."
" ... "
"I love you. Kwon Soon-young."
Then, Kwon Soon-young suddenly kissed me, and I was flustered and didn't know what to do. But for now, I just wanted to be in this atmosphere.
"You didn't sleep..?"
"I slept but our heroine was so sweet. Haha"
"Go to sleep. You must be tired from crying."
" .. I guess so. My eyes are getting closer and closer.. "
"Good night. Kwon Soon-young."
"If you could just say Sunyoung once... wouldn't that be okay..?"
"..Good night, Sunyoung"
" ... "
This time, it's Kwon Soon-young who is really asleep and doesn't respond at all. Haha, I saw her sleeping at the hospital, but she's really pretty.. I watched her for a while and then tried to climb up onto the sofa, and then...
Whoosh -
" ..!! what "
Is it a sleeping habit or is it intentional? He suddenly locks me in his arms.
Because of Kwon Soon-young, I couldn't do anything and just stared at Kwon Soon-young's face while holding my pounding heart.
"..he's handsome"
I eventually fell asleep in that state.
Anything feels good and exciting when I'm alone with the gangster.
