...

Oh Yeo-ju's point of view

...

오여주

"Ha... I'm really tired."

I don't even know how I got back home.

It seemed like it took half a day just to clean up, set up the tent, and get in the car.

In the car I barely got in, I had to repeat I Am Ground and 3, 6, 9 over and over again without even having time to get tired, and I even had to suddenly go back to the wireless microphone and sing.

I ran so hard that I didn't even know if I was breathing or if my breathing was breathing me.

It wasn't until I finally got home and lay down that I realized it was over.

오여주

"Still, it was really fun..."

It seemed like it was just hard work, but as my body became more comfortable, my mind seemed to have forgotten the hardships and only brought back good memories to tickle my mind.

I was lying there for a while, weakly spitting out laughter that kept coming out...

Jiying-

Hearing a short vibration, I got up from my seat and looked for my phone, which I had roughly thrown somewhere on the bed.

I open the screen to check the notifications...

최연준

-ruler?

A text message from Yeonjun.

I read it unconsciously, thought about it for a while, and then typed on the keyboard with difficulty.

오여주

-No...not yet

A reply that comes back immediately after sending a text.

최연준

-Is this yours?

A photo arrived with a short sentence.

오여주

"Wow, my pouch!"

It was a picture of a pouch containing my cosmetics and feminine products.

I immediately jumped up from my seat, walked towards the window, and started replying.

오여주

-That's mine! I need that...

최연준

-Can you come out for a moment?

As I was opening the curtains in front of the window, I saw Yeonjun's reply and immediately turned around.

오여주

"I almost asked you to throw it through the window"

I was about to walk out of the room...

My steps froze in front of the mirror that I almost passed by.

When I saw my disheveled hair and unkempt appearance reflected in the mirror, I couldn't bring myself to move.

오여주

"Oh...shit"

I quickly went to the mirror and started roughly fixing my hair with my hands and also applied some pink lip balm.

Only after I had a slightly more tolerable face was I able to run out to the front door.

'... But why did I decorate it?'

I was going to get a pouch for a moment, but I became aware of something I didn't know about.

.

Squeak-

The back of a large man is seen as you open the front door and step out.

오여주

"Yeonjun"

"You came out quickly."

오여주

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to rest."

I reached out to take the pouch and apologized to Yeonjun for not being able to rest right away because of me.

Then Yeonjun smiled faintly and placed something on my hand.

최연준

"If you're sorry, why don't you play with me for a bit?"

What I had in my hand was not a pouch, but chocolate milk.

After pondering Yeonjun's sudden suggestion for a moment, I slowly walked out the front door.

오여주

"What are you... doing at this hour?"

I walked out stiffly and stood in front of Yeonjun, and all I could do was roll my eyes.

Then, Yeonjun pretended to be thinking along with them and then took a step forward and started walking somewhere.

최연준

"Shall we do I Am Ground?"

오여주

"..."

최연준

"Or Samyuk-gu?"

Puss- I finally burst out laughing and started following Yeonjun, starting a natural conversation.

...

오여주

"Right, I was wondering something."

최연준

"What is it?"

오여주

"Why are you being so cold to Yeongseo?"

최연준

"ah..."

오여주

"You don't have to say anything if you're uncomfortable!"

I couldn't hold back my sudden curiosity and started talking, but when I saw Yeonjun struggling to answer, I was shocked.

Just when I was about to let it go...

"I just feel like it keeps making me look forward to it."

오여주

"What?"

최연준

"I feel like I keep... giving them room."

Seeing Yeonjun answer in a slightly calmer voice, I calmed down and after a long period of thought, I carefully opened my mouth.

오여주

"I don't want to give you any room... why do you insist on hanging out with me?"

Even after saying it, I still had concerns.

For a moment, I felt a deep sense of guilt, wondering if I had asked too much, and I wanted to gather what I had just said and put it back in my mouth.

At that moment, the Fed stood still.

'It's ruined'

It was when I couldn't even look up at Yeonjun because I thought I had asked a pointless question and was just staring into space.

Suddenly, Yeonjun took the chocolate milk I was holding and put a straw in the milk for me. I looked up at Yeonjun and found myself face to face with him, who was making an unreadable expression.

"That's because you still don't know Yeongseo."

오여주

"...what is that"

최연준

"Don't try too hard to please Youngseo."

오여주

"..."

최연준

"Then you'll really get hurt."

With that said, Yeonjun walks away.

I feel like I just heard something very important.

It seemed like a very important story, something I should never forget and keep thinking about.

"Let's just go in."

자까

How much do you know about the English alphabet?

오여주

Author, you have to tell me... I haven't seen Youngseo in ages...

자까

admit!
