Exists, but does not exist
Episode 31



윤정한
If you don't have any plans after that...


윤정한
Do you want to go out and play with me?


강여주
.. uh?


강여주
With me?


윤정한
huh!


강여주
...the two of us?


윤정한
huh

Jeonghan smiled.

The eyes of the students packing their bags all turned to us.


강여주
Well... let's leave the classroom first.

Feeling embarrassed, I quickly took Jeonghan out of the classroom.

The hallway was crowded with students coming out of their exams.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, as if they were all excited.


윤정한
Will you play with me?

I nodded silently.

Then, Jeonghan smiled faintly.


윤정한
Okay, then I'll put my bag down and go straight to that alley!


강여주
okay

???
Heroine~!

Someone came running from behind me, calling my name.


고하율
What~?


강여주
Ugh..!


고하율
What are you so surprised about~


고하율
What's with Yoon Jung-han?


고하율
Are you dating?

Ha-Yul approached me with a meaningful smile.


강여주
... No~

I laughed awkwardly.


고하율
No, really haha


고하율
The atmosphere is definitely one where we'll start dating soon, right?

Ha-Yul tapped my shoulder.


고하율
to be honest..


강여주
huh?


고하율
At first, I didn't really like Yoon Jung-han...


고하율
As I looked...


고하율
He seems like a good kid.


고하율
therefore,


고하율
Good luck!

Ha-Yul looked at me and smiled.


강여주
.. what..

Me... dating Jeonghan...

Besides, I'm an adult..?


고하율
Are you going out to play with Yoon Jeong-han today?


강여주
... huh


고하율
It's a shame, I wanted to ask you to go out and play with me.


강여주
Oh... I'm sorry...


고하율
What are you sorry for~


고하율
Isn't supporting your friend's love a true friend?


고하율
Don't worry about me and have fun~

Ha-Yul smiled.


강여주
.. thank you


고하율
Then I'll go first!

Ha-Yul waved at me.


강여주
Oh... see you next week!


강여주
Ugh... I'm going out with a guy...

Originally, I was a shy student who was always the outcast in class, so it was my first time going out with a guy.

I steeled myself and started putting on makeup.

Since I usually don't wear makeup to school, it felt very awkward to wear it after such a long time.

.

..

...


강여주
.. end!

I finished getting ready, even putting on all my clothes.


강여주
Should I go out now?

-Clang,


강여주
Hmm... Phew...


강여주
I'm feeling nervous for no reason...

I left the house with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.


강여주
Is he already here..?

I entered the alley and looked around.


윤정한
Sister!


강여주
Ah, Jeonghan!


강여주
Have you been waiting long?


윤정한
.. No, I just got here too!

Jeonghan smiled.


윤정한
Should we start with lunch?


강여주
Yeah, good


강여주
..but where to go?


윤정한
I know everything!

Jeonghan made a confident expression.

Jeonghan looked so cute that I chuckled to myself.


윤정한
What, why are you laughing..!


강여주
No.. haha because it's cute.

Oh, what did I just say...


윤정한
Cute.. why..?

At that moment, I could see Jeonghan's ears turning red.


윤정한
.. Go quickly!!


강여주
..is this a place I have to take the subway to get to?


윤정한
sure!


윤정한
After the exam, everyone goes out to play in different areas!


강여주
iced coffee..


윤정한
It's not that far away, so don't worry.

Jeonghan smiled brightly.


강여주
Don't worry~


강여주
There are a lot of people...


윤정한
Yeah, that's right.

Because there were so many people in the subway, the two of us ended up getting close to each other.


강여주
...


윤정한
..close..

I could hear Jeonghan muttering to himself.

I stood there awkwardly, waiting for the train to reach its destination.

And at that moment, I felt something on my waist.


강여주
....!!
