How to love your blue
#04. The stars in the night sky eavesdrop on the sound of firewood.


"ha.."


한동민
It's hot;

Han Dong-min walked in holding an envelope in both hands.

It's a small town, so there's only one neighborhood supermarket, so you have to go far and come back.

The bag contained mostly snacks, like ramen, drinks, and snacks.


Finally, the fence in front of the house began to come into view.

The figures of Kim Dong-hyun and Kim Yeo-joo were clearly visible beyond the wall.

In Han Dong-min's view, Kim Yeo-ju and Kim Dong-hyun were seen chatting and laughing.


한동민
…


한동민
He makes me do all the chores, and the two of us are very peaceful.

Han Dong-min felt a bit concerned about the two of them.

It kept bothering me that it didn't take that long for Kim Yeo-ju and Kim Dong-hyun to become close.

Well, both of them are the type of people who talk to anyone no matter where they go.

He passed it on, saying:


“No, so”


김여주
huh?


김동현
Why do you like Han Dong-min?

Kim Dong-hyun's question leaked out from in front of the wall.


한동민
…?

What are you two talking about?

"secret."


김동현
ah,


김여주
That's a secret

The heroine smiled bashfully.

A little shyly



한동민
What's the secret

At that time, Han Dong-min appeared.



김동현
what?


김동현
Why did you come now? Did you crawl here?


한동민
I came walking


김여주
Why did you buy so much??


한동민
Just while I'm at it


한동민
… But, what’s the secret?


김여주
uh?


한동민
You two were keeping a secret or something

Han Dong-min was curious.

What is the secret?

The question that Kim Dong-hyun asked earlier, “Why do you like Han Dong-min?” was a question that Han Dong-min also wanted to ask.



김동현
Han Dong-min's back talk


한동민
her?


김동현
That's why it's a secret


한동민
What is that..


김동현
Let's boil some ramen first

Kim Dong-hyun changed the subject of conversation.

I said this out of consideration in case Kim Yeo-ju felt embarrassed…




The long summer days have passed and the sky has become dark.

Kim Dong-hyun received firewood and briquettes from his aunt and lit a fire.

He looked excited as he said he was going to roast marshmallows.




김여주
Wow, this is my first time roasting marshmallows.


김동현
You have to turn it while baking it.

Dong-hyun picked up the marshmallow skewer that Yeo-ju was holding and slowly spun it around.


김여주
Oh, like this?


김동현
Oh, good job


김여주
lol


한동민
…

Since when have the two of you been so close together?

Neither of them were shy at all, so it makes sense that they became close quickly.

For some reason, I feel uncomfortable.



한동민
Okay, eat this.

Han Dong-min put the marshmallow he had roasted into Yeo-ju's hand.


김여주
huh?


김여주
you?


한동민
I give it to you

Donghyun spoke while taking turns roasting marshmallow skewers next to him.


김여주
I rode it for a little while..!


한동민
I like riding it

It was a lie, but I put the marshmallow in my mouth without thinking about it.


김여주
You have unique tastes


김여주
I like tanned memo memo

Yeoju had Han Dong-min's tastes in her head. She may not know that it is a lie.


한동민
…everything,,

Han Dong-min finds that Kim Yeo-ju a little funny.

I couldn't help but let out a faint smile.



김동현
Yeah yeah..

Meanwhile, Kim Dong-hyun was thinking that he had come to a place where he shouldn't be.

…

..

.





한동민
It's late now, let's go to sleep


김여주
okay


김동현
Since there are two rooms, Yeoju can use the one over there.


김여주
okay!


김여주
Good night everyone~





“Wow… a silk quilt”


김여주
I saw it at my grandmother's house when I was young


김여주
They use silk blankets here too

The heroine spread a silk quilt on the floor and lay down on the mat.


김여주
Ugh. Tea.-


김여주
It's so fluffy~

Because it was a country house, the floor was warm and soft, and my eyes slowly closed.

…

..

.




How many hours have passed?

The heroine woke up from a light sleep.


김여주
… Ugh,,

"Tap tap tap..."

A tapping sound could be heard beyond the window paper.


김여주
?

what,

…the sound of firewood?




“What are you doing here?”



한동민
You didn't sleep?


김여주
I woke up for a moment


김여주
But, what are you doing instead of sleeping?


한동민
just


한동민
I can't sleep...


김여주
So you burned firewood too?


한동민
No lol


한동민
The remaining fire didn't go out yet


한동민
I was just listening to the sound of firewood


김여주
How is it, does it sound good?

Yeoju sat down close to Dongmin.



한동민
What, it's hot, don't stick to me

He turned his head away, avoiding Kim Yeo-ju's eyes.


김여주
…tooth-


김여주
It's going to stick, what should I do~

Then, Yeoju ran towards Han Dong-min even more.

He pressed his shoulders against mine and brought his face close to mine.


한동민
Ah..really;


한동민
What kind of girl is that...

Han Dong-min is disgusted and cries out.

Even though Han Dong-min is so disgusted

Actually, it's more embarrassing



김여주
lol

Kim Yeo-ju likes Han Dong-min's disgusted face.

Does bullying feel good when it hits you?



한동민
…hey,


김여주
?



한동민
Look at that


Han Dong-min pointed to the sky.


The night sky that Han Dong-min pointed out was filled with stars.


김여주
Wow, are those all stars??


한동민
Isn't it pretty?

Dongmin smiled faintly.

The smile on her eyes that seemed to want to show this sparkled beautifully.


김여주
… Yeah,


김여주
… Yeah, it’s pretty,,

How beautiful is that smile, more beautiful than the countless stars in the sky.

I couldn't take my eyes off Han Dong-min.

The dawn breeze is cool

For some reason, I feel like my face is getting hot



한동민
…


한동민
…what are you staring at like that

Dongmin asks, feeling embarrassed at the gaze of the female protagonist staring at him.


김여주
…uh?


한동민
What are you staring at so intently?


김여주
Oh, uh..!


김여주
that is..!


한동민
…?


김여주
…good


김여주
… I like it,,

Of course, I said that because I like your smile.

I feel like I've confessed something.


한동민
…

I made eye contact with Han Dong-min.

At this point, Han Dong-min should have avoided eye contact first.

For some reason, our eyes kept going back and forth.

The two of them didn't say anything

Just the crackling sound of burning firewood...

Our shoulders touching each other felt hot.

Han Dong-min's face gradually came closer to Yeo-ju.


한동민
…

In the meantime, his serious face without a hint of a smile moved its eyes towards Kim Yeo-ju.

When his fallen eyes reached the corners of his lips

Time passed slowly.

I vaguely felt his face getting closer

My eyes slowly closed.

Han Dong-min looked at Kim Yeo-ju's closed eyelashes and placed his hand on her cheek.

I felt he was getting closer.

And then it seemed like the tips of our noses slightly touched.

My body trembled with tension at the distance of less than three centimeters between our lips.

I thought I had reached you like that

“Oh my, you’re still awake?”

Someone was walking towards them over the wall.


한동민
!


김여주
… Oh, yes?

The two of them flinched in surprise and turned their heads toward the wall following the voice.

이모
Oh my, you're young, you're young~

이모
What time is it? You're playing until dawn?

The owner of the voice was my aunt.

The aunt approached the two with a pleasant face.


김여주
Oh, hello!


김여주
Aren't you asleep yet??

이모
Oh, I can't sleep~


김여주
Haha, I see haha


한동민
We weren't making any noise, were we..?

이모
Okay~


한동민
lol..

The two of them stood apart as if nothing had happened and smiled awkwardly at their aunt.


이모
Oh, that's right!

이모
I brought this for you to try, but I almost forgot about it~

The aunt said, handing them a jug as big as their upper bodies.


김여주
Oh my god, what is all this??

이모
Ah~ It's nothing~

이모
This is homemade Omija tea, try it~


한동민
Oh, thank you..!


김여주
Wow.. it looks really delicious.. thank you!!

이모
If you have any leftovers, take them with you when you go to Seoul~


김여주
yes..!


한동민
thank you for this food

이모
Yeah~

이모
It's late, so go to sleep quickly~

So my aunt gave me some omija tea and went back across the path.


This situation where only the two of us are left after my aunt passed away

The two of them stood there awkwardly, looking around.


김여주
… This looks delicious! Right?

The heroine quickly found a topic.

Pointing to Omija Cheong


김여주
Should we try this??


한동민
..Oh, okay

The two awkwardly sat down on the table and drank the omija tea that their aunt had brought them.



김여주
Oh, it's delicious!?


한동민
Yeah, is that because you soaked it yourself?

So the two of them have a drink, two drinks

I drank Omija-cheong without knowing how many glasses I had.





김여주
..Bammina..-


한동민
..?


김여주
Why is the weather so hot…


한동민
I know..,


한동민
It seems a little hot...

For some reason, my body feels hot.

The weather doesn't feel hot

A heat spread through my body.



김여주
Ugh..., it's hot


한동민
Is it very hot..?


김여주
..Yeah, and I'm sleepy

Yeoju leaned her head on Pick Dongmin's shoulder.

My body feels heavy and my eyelids are closing



한동민
Hey hey, go in and sleep..;;


김여주
Yeah.., I don't like it... It's annoying... ..

The heroine is drooping.



한동민
iced coffee;;


한동민
Hey, hey..!

Han Dong-min, feeling helpless, helped Kim Yeo-ju up, who was already tired.


김여주
Ugh..-


한동민
… What kind of hardship is this?

…

..

.

“Oh my, what should I do with this?”


이모
I gave it to the kids

이모
It wasn't omija-cheong, it was pickled liquor.

이모
Look at my mind..ugh..

이모
I'll have to bring it back tomorrow~

…
