How to love your blue
#10. The aftertaste of the first kiss is playful


“I’m bored”



김여주
Are there any snacks?


한동민
…her;


한동민
Are you starting to resemble Kim Dong-hyun?


김여주
lol


한동민
ruler

Dongmin took a piece of candy and handed it to Yeoju.


김여주
oh?


김여주
What~, do you have candy at home?

The heroine opened the candy she received from Dongmin and put the inside in her mouth, mumbling.


김여주
Oh, it tastes like cola!

The heroine's eyes sparkle as if the candy suits her taste.


한동민
…is it delicious?


김여주
Huh


한동민
…lol

I didn't know that the candy Kim Dong-hyun gave me would be used like this.

Kim Dong-hyun would often leave candy and jelly-like things at our house…

Dongmin doesn't like sweets, so he laughed at the use of candy, which had never shown any signs of decreasing.



김여주
Aren't you eating?


한동민
I'm done


한동민
I don't really like sweets


김여주
okay?

The heroine rolled the candy in her mouth as if she was embarrassed to eat it alone.


Thump.- Thump thump..-

Sitting side by side under the bed, the sound of raindrops falling outside the window brought silence.

I bit the cola-flavored candy in my mouth and looked away.

Han Dong-min also finds himself unable to meet the silence that has come.

Somehow, the atmosphere is strange.

It was a little ticklish and my stomach was churning, I felt like I couldn't even breathe.


김여주
…


한동민
…

The two of them just looked at the floor with their clumsy eyes.


김여주
…rain,


김여주
…when will the rain stop?

The first one to speak in the silence was the female protagonist.


한동민
..I know


한동민
I don't think it's going to rain


김여주
Can I go home?


한동민
…


한동민
… Then, should I lend you an umbrella?

Dongmin glanced at the female lead.


김여주
ah,


김여주
Oh, no...


김여주
I'll wait until it stops..

Actually, I wanted to stay longer.

I was greedy for this seat next to Han Dong-min under the bed.

The female protagonist's face, which answered that she would wait for him to stop because she wanted to stay with him a little longer, was full of shyness, unlike her courage.

It is obvious that Han Dong-min also vaguely felt that feeling.

He's a quick-witted guy


한동민
okay

Han Dong-min responds coolly to Yeo-ju's courage

Inside, I was reeling from the mental state that was swirling around me.

Obviously, you'll like it.

The present moment when Kim Yeo-ju is by his side



김여주
…

Well well

The silence had been so long that the candy in my mouth had gradually dwindled.

The bitter aftertaste of cola lingered in my mouth, licking my lips.

The candy, now a kernel, was chewed and broken into pieces.


김여주
Wow, I already ate it all-


김여주
This is delicious..!


한동민
okay..?


김여주
Can you give me just one more?


한동민
…

Did you really come here just to eat candy?

A hollow smile spread across my face at your bright request for one more candy.

Somehow I feel like I'm addicted to that candy.

Does that matter now..?



한동민
Is that tasty?


김여주
Yeah, it's delicious?


한동민
…


한동민
Give it to me too

Han Dong-min picked up the bed mattress with one arm and turned towards Yeo-ju.


김여주
?

As I turned back, my eyes met Han Dong-min's.

Han Dong-min's face, which had suddenly become very close, made her body stiff.

After a brief three-second eye contact, our lips touched something soft.

And then it fell.

ah..

When he realized that those lips were Han Dong-min's, his hardened face flinched in surprise.


김여주
…uh?


한동민
…

As they kissed and parted ways, Kim Yeo-ju's surprised face was revealed.

It was a face I had never expected.

I was a bit grumpy for no reason, but I feel embarrassed when I see the dazed female lead's face.

Dongmin avoided eye contact and only touched the lips that had touched his.

The scent of cola-flavored candy lingered on my lips.

It's a playful, vibrant scent.

The ending is a little bittersweet.


한동민
…


한동민
It's delicious..

Why does candy taste so ticklish?

I kept licking the scent on my lips.

Thump.-

It was raining outside, and my stomach was churning noisily in the humid air.

My first kiss was a cola-flavored candy.

It tickled my lips sweetly and bitterly.

This playful kiss is too funny to be called a kiss

Only the scent of cola-flavored candy remained.

…

..

…

After what happened last night

Kim Yeo-ju left Dong-min's house in a hurry, saying something had happened at home.

Dongmin stroked his lips for a long time after the female protagonist left.

You must have been so distracted by whether it was a dream or reality.

The face that went out without me knowing, the lips that eventually touched

It must still be vivid and lingering like an aftertaste.

As the image of the heroine running away in a hurry overlapped, a slight feeling of regret began to creep up on me.

He must have hated it so much that he dug a tunnel by himself.

Han Dong-min was worried about whether he should apologize tomorrow morning.

however…


선생님
"Is the female protagonist absent?"


한동민
…?

The next day, Kim Yeo-ju did not come to school.

It was a variable that even Han Dong-min did not anticipate.


선생님
The weather has gotten chilly lately

선생님
Is the cold going around again?


한동민
…

The reason for absence is a cold

Why did it have to happen after something like that happened last night?

I felt a strange sense of guilt at the thought that I might be the cause of my cold.

what…

Just one touch of lips…

…

..

.




In the end, I was worried and came all the way to your house

Han Dong-min put his hand on his heart and repeated to himself, “This is my own conscience.”



한동민
…


한동민
…are you in a lot of pain?

Ding dong.-

Dongmin rang the bell in front of Yeoju's house.

As soon as I pressed it, I heard the voice of an unfamiliar middle-aged woman.


가사도우미
who are you?


한동민
Oh, that... he's a classmate of the female protagonist.

가사도우미
Ah, did you come to visit the sick lady?


한동민
Oh, yes

miss?

I knew to some extent that the house was well-off because it was a single-family home with a yard.

Miss, your family even had a housekeeper?

I felt that Sesam Kim Yeo-ju's environment was different from mine.


가사도우미
Come in first~


한동민
yes

…

..

.




The house is even more amazing than I thought.

A staircase leading to what appears to be the second floor in a spacious living room

The floor is covered in expensive-looking carpets, and the ceiling is dazzlingly lit with chandeliers.


가사도우미
The lady's room is on the second floor.

가사도우미
You must be up by now


한동민
Oh, yes

가사도우미
You should take your medicine when you wake up, but by any chance…


한동민
Oh, I'll pass it on to you.

Dongmin took the envelope of medicine from the woman and headed to the second floor.

Knock knock.-

Knock..-



김여주
…uh?


한동민
..are you awake?


김여주
Why are you...

The heroine suddenly sat up in bed.


한동민
You said you had a cold


한동민
Danim said that


김여주
ah..


김여주
Yeah..


한동민
…


한동민
…is your body originally that weak?

Dongmin put the envelope of medicine down in front of Yeoju.


김여주
ah..


한동민
… or is it because of me? (mumbles)


김여주
…!!


김여주
no!!


김여주
I usually live with a cold..!!!

Yeoju responded startled to Han Dong-min's muttering.

I don't know if his face was red from the fever or from what happened last night,

I was sure I remembered what happened that day.

I can see that the pupils are shaking, so those eyes cannot lie.



한동민
…

I can't be honest in times like this...



김여주
…


김여주
…Why are you here?


한동민
I wondered if he didn't come to school to avoid me.


김여주
..why am I avoiding you..! (stinging)

Actually, there is a tendency to do that, but…

It's true that I have a cold..



한동민
No, not that


김여주
…

What the hell does this guy want in return?

Every time you ask me meaningful questions,

It shook my heart.

I'm going crazy because I keep remembering that day that I tried so hard to forget.

I am..

I... that was my first kiss...

…
