필요한 역

Well then, that's all for today's lecture.

필요한 역

Thank you to all the students for your hard work.

Finally...! The lecture is over.

송보경

Hey, do you want to have lunch together today?

김여주

You know that, so why are you doing that? I told you I'm eating with guests.

송보경

Didn't you say it was a holiday earlier?

김여주

But he said he'd come over to have lunch with me.

I got up from my seat, packed my bag and books, said goodbye to Bo-kyung, and left.

김여주

Let's eat together next time!

송보경

You've done that before, haven't you?

김여주

Really! Really next time!

김여주

I'll go!

I said a quick hello to Bokyeong and came out to the front of the school.

Now the weather is slowly getting closer to summer, so I was wearing short sleeves and shorts.

The trees that had lost their flowers had been replaced by green leaves, and the sound of the cool breeze that occasionally blew through the trees was really nice.

Instead of spring ending, summer was coming.

I stood there for a while waiting for the guests.

I was staring blankly at the blue sky for a moment when a man with handsome hair came down the stairs.

The man greeted me warmly when he saw me.

김태형

Kim Yeo-ju!

Instead of answering, I ran to the guest and hugged him. He embraced me with his wide, warm arms and wrapped them around me with his long arms.

김여주

You came out today even though it's a holiday?

김태형

Yeah, I came to see the heroine.

As I was hugging and talking to the guest, I heard my stomach growling.

김여주

Huh...!

I was so surprised that I quickly pushed the guest away.

김태형

Are you hungry, heroine?

김여주

Have you heard...?

김태형

What? I didn't hear anything?

김여주

...Don't lie... Did you hear the growling sound?

김태형

Did you hear a growling sound? I don't know.

김여주

Then why did you ask me if I was hungry?

김태형

Well... well... ah, we were meeting to have lunch!

김여주

You really didn't hear that, right?

김태형

I said I didn't hear anything

김태형

Why can't you believe it?

김여주

Then let's go eat quickly

김여주

hungry

김태형

Is today the day I decide where to eat?

김여주

Yeah! Choose wisely.

The guest and I take turns choosing the lunch menu, and today is the guest's choice day.

김태형

Just trust me and follow me

I followed the guest with a pleasant smile without saying anything.

The place the customer chose was a tonkatsu restaurant.

김태형

Okay... Are you okay?

김여주

We really need to think about this

김태형

What... what..?

When I answered the customer with a serious expression and tone of voice, their reaction was so cute.

김여주

Isn't this telepathy?

김여주

How did you know that I wanted to eat pork cutlet?

A smile appeared on the guest's face after hearing what I said.

김태형

Did you choose the right pork cutlet?

김여주

Perfect

김여주

I was hungry but I didn't know what to eat.

김여주

But now I get it

김여주

I wanted to eat pork cutlet

김태형

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is that it?

김여주

of course

True to its name, the pork cutlet restaurant was filled with the smell of pork cutlets.

김여주

Ah, I'm hungry...

As if in response to my words, my stomach growled really loudly.

I was so surprised that I looked at the customer and it seemed like he was holding back laughter.

김여주

I heard it again

김태형

What? I didn't hear anything?

김여주

You didn't hear it, or you're pretending not to hear it.

김태형

I didn't hear anything!

김여주

Then why are you laughing?

김태형

four faces

김태형

I laughed because it was cute

김여주

What the heck is that...!

While we were bickering with the customer about the rumbling sound, the tonkatsu was able to arrive at the table where we were sitting.

김여주

thank you for this food!

김태형

Eat lots and enjoy

The guest had cheese pork cutlet, and I had regular sirloin pork cutlet.

We each shared one

김여주

Cheese really stretches! Look at this!

The customer smiled as he watched me admire the cheese stretching between my fork and my mouth.

김태형

Now you won't hear any growling sounds, will you?

김여주

...That's what I heard!

김태형

No? Is that why you keep saying things like that?

김여주

What is that, really?

The customer looked at me with a sullen expression, smiled again without saying anything, and took a bite of the pork cutlet.

Time passed quickly, and there was no pork cutlet left on either the customer's plate or mine.

He said he had finished eating, but he also said he had to leave soon.

With a heavy heart, I slowly drank the water from the blue plastic cup.

김태형

I'll pick you up when it's over

김태형

Contact me when you're done

김여주

Aren't you tired? Since there's no class today, I'm resting as much as I can...

김태형

You should rest when you rest

김태형

What am I doing resting alone?

김여주

I'm so touched, Mr. Guest.

김태형

Not Mr. Guest, Mr. Taehyung

김여주

Do you like that better, Taehyung?

김여주

Okay, then! I'll call you Taehyung.

We had a quick flirtation with the guest and held hands tightly before parting ways.

김여주

Ugh...! I wish the lecture would end soon.

김태형

Listen carefully! If you don't, you'll get in trouble.

김여주

We are waiting for you at home or at your guest house.

김여주

Aren't you always sitting in front of your phone?

김태형

I should be doing that

김태형

Instead, you study hard

After a sad farewell to the guest, I entered the classroom.

I think it might be a little more boring from now on since I won't have any close friends in the classroom.

Still, I sat up straight, gripped the fan so tightly that the bones in my wrists were pounding, and started listening to the lecture.

I was able to listen to all the lectures that I had been holding onto, overcoming my sleepiness.

김여주

Ugh... It's finally over...!

I packed my bag faster than anyone else and contacted the customer.

I called and stood in front of the school for a while, and the customer came right away.

As soon as the guest arrived, I opened the passenger door and sat down.

김여주

Ta-da! I bought two cups of Americano!

김여주

Thank you for your hard work all day!

I put a cold Americano in the guest's hand and left for home.

김태형

Did you pay attention and listen well during the lecture?

김여주

Perfect

김여주

If I do this right, I'll meet customers! If I keep this in mind, it'll happen quickly, right?

김태형

Was that so?

I answered yes and sipped the Americano I bought.

I don't know why this is so delicious

I checked to see if the customer was eating well, and there was still coffee in the cup that I bought.

김여주

Uh... Is the coffee not tasty?

김태형

Huh? Oh, I was driving

김태형

I really want to eat it right now, but I can't.

김여주

Ah...! Then don't speak!

I took the coffee from the holder on the guest's side and brought it close to the guest's mouth.

김여주

How about this, can I drink it like this?

김태형

It's so refreshing and delicious

김태형

It tastes better because you gave it to me

김태형

Don't your arms hurt if you keep holding them like this?

김여주

It's okay! I'm surprisingly strong.

I served coffee to the guests and went home.

김여주

Just drop me off here!

김태형

I'll drop you off in front of your house.

김태형

What if something happens on the way?

The guest dropped me off right in front of my house.

김여주

Oh, you're here already?

김여주

Can I have coffee on the go?

I said something else because I felt sorry for nothing

김태형

I'll go eat well

김태형

It gets dark the later you go

김태형

I'll go after seeing what happens

김여주

Guests are welcome too...!

김여주

I'll call you as soon as I get home.

I gave the guest a kiss on the cheek and waved.

김태형

Good morning!

김여주

Be sure to contact me when you go!

김태형

Then, I will definitely do it.

I greeted the guest with difficulty and went inside the house.

I kept looking back with regret, and he was looking through the open window.

Every time our eyes met, I waved my hand repeatedly.

I really waved my hand one last time and went into the house.

The guest is arriving home quickly and I want to talk to him.

Then I'll talk until I fall asleep, until my phone battery runs out.
