Toodoo, toodoo-

“It’s raining, I don’t even want to go outside.”

권순영 image

권순영

“It’s raining, so I think of that day.”

최승철 image

최승철

“That day?”

권순영 image

권순영

“It was a rainy day, and Yeoju hugged her brother-”

최승철 image

최승철

“Right, that’s right, ugh.”

권순영 image

권순영

“Yeah, where are you going, hyung?”

Ugh, I really hate rainy days...

And I didn't even bring an umbrella, so I ended up in the library...

정여주

“Nothing is going well.”

“I think I should go now, it’s closing time.”

정여주

“Oh, yes. Sorry.”

“Don’t slam the door-”

Now, I'm being kicked out.

The rain, which I thought would stop, did not stop for over two hours.

The more it was like that, the more miserable I became.

I had no one to call, so I must have been really lonely.

정여주

“Huh, haa..”

I guess that's why I hate rainy days more.

Because you lose the people around you and realize that you don't exist.

최승철 image

최승철

“Why are you crying?”

When you lower your head and your tears dry up and don't flow well

Perhaps the person I wanted to see the most appeared.

정여주

“Brother?”

최승철 image

최승철

“Did you have a bad thought again?”

정여주

“It was like that, but it’s okay now.”

Because someone came to see me.

최승철 image

최승철

“But you didn’t hug me today?”

정여주

“Oh, that’s..”

최승철 image

최승철

“Phew, but do you know where you’re going now?”

정여주

“Uh... my house?”

최승철 image

최승철

“Hey, are we already like that?”

Answering nonchalantly, without even knowing where you are going

Compared to me, Seungcheol was more excited.

정여주

“Weren’t you supposed to take me home?”

최승철 image

최승철

“No, I’m going to a good place.”

정여주

“Hmm.. I’ll look forward to it-“

After hearing my answer, Seungcheol smiled, seeming satisfied.

최승철 image

최승철

“What do you think? It seems like a nice place.”

That great place was a cat cafe.

정여주

“Wow, totally..”

최승철 image

최승철

“If you look closely, it seems like all the emotions are visible on the face.”

•••

It's been about 20 minutes since I came to the cat cafe.

Seungcheol...

정여주

“Wow, I guess the cats like you-”

최승철 image

최승철

“Ugh..”

I ended up surrounded by cats.

정여주

“But why do you look like that?..”

최승철 image

최승철

“There are so many, it’s scary..”

Seungcheol's words were probably the funniest thing I've heard recently.

The nine-tailed fox is afraid of cats...

정여주

“Phew, what is that lol..”

Seungcheol saw me smiling brightly, showing my teeth.

최승철 image

최승철

“It puts my mind at ease when I see you smiling.”

We laughed together.

정여주

“Wow, I see you came out.”

최승철 image

최승철

“Yeah, I got better as I played.”

As the mood that had been gloomy all day was lifted,

The rain has stopped and the sun has begun to come out.

정여주

“Well, curfew is coming up soon..”

최승철 image

최승철

“Was there a curfew?”

정여주

“Yes, it’s 9 o’clock, but if it’s late, until 10 o’clock?”

최승철 image

최승철

“There’s a curfew, and you’re still a high school student.”

Seungcheol saw me saying that there was a curfew,

At first I was surprised, but then I laughed and said it was like a child.

정여주

“Hey, you’ll be an adult in a few months, right?”

최승철 image

최승철

“Yeah, well, it’s just a big baby.”

정여주

“If someone saw me, would they think I was my dad?”

최승철 image

최승철

“Hey, we’re only six years apart?”

정여주

“Yes, a man older than me.”

While we were talking about such trivial things,

엄마

“Oh, there’s a lot of trash.”

Maybe because it's a neighborhood playground, my mom is nearby

You came to throw away the trash.

정여주

“Oh my god, why are you here?”

And then I pulled Seungcheol's face,

Seungcheol was very embarrassed by that.

최승철 image

최승철

“What, what is it? Why is it like that?”

정여주

“Mom is around here. If we get caught, we’ll both die.”

After hearing what I said, Seungcheol chuckled and laughed.

He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me further.

최승철 image

최승철

“If you’re going to do it, do it properly.”

My face turned red for a moment and I lowered my head.

My mom tried to push me away, saying she was gone.

정여주

“Mom, she’s gone..”

최승철 image

최승철

“Ugh, you’re going to blush with this, aren’t you?”

Unlike me, Seungcheol was able to distance himself skillfully.

I feel so sad..

정여주

“Mr. Lee, I want to go.”

최승철 image

최승철

“What should I do if I take this home? Anyway, it’s Aerani..”

I got off the swing and tried to go home,

Seungcheol teased him as if he was having fun,

side,

I got kicked out first.

정여주

“I won.”

With these words, I quickly headed home.

I saw it earlier, I was surprised but I laughed...

I'm trying to rule over you for making me laugh today.

•••

Seungcheol wakes up in an instant and remains still, unable to open his mouth.

최승철

“I’m an adult now, can I look forward to it..”
