Love Made Possible by Ginkgo Leaves {Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period} - Love made possible by ginkgo leaves

With this...we really became a couple...

They're not even close friends yet, but they're a couple... If this relationship continues, they might end up like a cautious landlord and tenant.

I was exhausted again today, with all sorts of thoughts, but I couldn't sleep. Suddenly, Bae Jin-young barged in without knocking. It was a bit contradictory that he kept urging me to knock, yet came in without knocking.

Even though he was dressed in casual clothes, he deliberately pulled the blanket close to his body to tease her a little.

배진영

..sorry, I'll be out..ma'am..

박다빈

Phew. Just kidding.

Bae Jin-young, who had been fidgeting and not knowing what to do at those words, suddenly changed his expression and strode towards the bed.

He leaned in close and began to examine my face, as if examining a museum relic. He was so close that I could see my reflection in Bae Jin-young's doe-like eyes. When Bae Jin-young sighed and tilted his head back, I realized just how close we had become.

배진영

Does white clothes suit you well?

박다빈

Huh? What?

배진영

No. Don't interrupt my monologue. Go to sleep.

He turned off the light and left. Even though he was friendly all day, he would always turn cold like this once, and I would worry that I had done something wrong.

07:14 AM

I'm usually an early riser, but I've been waking up a bit later lately. I couldn't tell if my room was dark or not. Bae Jin-young's house was gloomy and dark overall. Maybe it's because the house is so big.

07:20 AM

박다빈

Hey! What the heck, I woke up this late?!

Since I brought it home, I was so out of it that I frantically searched through the carrier I had been using.

박다빈

Pouch..my pouch ughㅠㅠ

박다빈

I found it! Oh reallyㅠㅠUgh (sob)

I was getting ready in five minutes, the fastest I'd ever done in my life, and was coming down the stairs when Bae Jin-young was eating alone. There was another plate next to his. Avoiding Bae Jin-young's gaze, I put on my pumps (low-heeled women's shoes), hesitated, then opened the door and went out.

박다빈

Haha - it wasn't too late...

박다빈

Hello, senior.

승완선배

I'm always the first one to come out, what's wrong?

박다빈

Because I moved house...and I slept in late today...

승완선배

Oh, that devil? That's right, that's right...

Then the professor came in and the conversation was cut off. Bae Jin-young was talking back and forth throughout the class, so I couldn't concentrate properly.

박다빈

What should I do... I'm going to get upset...

승완선배

Okay, here. Books about demons and mythology.

박다빈

Senior... I'm really grateful every time...

승완선배

No, well. But I read it too, and the devil... seems to have different opinions.

박다빈

Yes? What's your opinion?

승완선배

It just seems like humans have a lot of arbitrarily assumed demons. I don't know if this will help.

박다빈

Your presence has already been a great help to me, so I am grateful.

승완선배

Oh, why don't you call me at night these days?

박다빈

Maybe it's because I moved house... And I...

승완선배

Oh, right! You have a husband now! Oh, but it's good in a way. You have a great face, and the person—no, the devil—isn't bad.

박다빈

Yes... but still...

승완선배

I don't know if it's because I'm superstitious or something, but I don't think he's a bad person. If anything happens, I'm here, so don't worry. Oh, then you won't have to take medicine? That's great!!

박다빈

Yes.. the symptoms are gradually becoming less visible..

승완선배

Dabin, that's great. I'll buy you some food. Let's go.

박다빈

No, sir, I'm going to go into that house.

승완선배

Does your husband already have a curfew?

박다빈

No, I woke up late this morning and couldn't eat breakfast with you.

승완선배

You're dripping with honey... You love me, right? Your husband.

박다빈

Ehhhhh?! No! It's a political marriage... What about love...

승완선배

Really? Got it. But they say that even if you fight, you become close. Be careful. Haha. Okay, I'll go!

박다빈

Goodbye, senior!

Oh, here... On my way home, I saw a familiar cafe. The cafe where I first met Bae Jin-young. At the time, I thought he was just a middle schooler with a lot of iron plate syndrome. I was surprised to see how much my attitude toward Bae Jin-young had changed since our first meeting.

박다빈

Should I apologize to Bae Jin-young by buying him coffee?

I was excited to go into the cafe and talk about when we first met, thinking that I could ease the awkwardness.

박다빈

What did Bae Jin-young drink back then?

박다빈

One espresso and one caramel macchiato, please. Lots of whipped cream, please. Hehe.

For some reason, I was so excited that I even hummed a tune and went to the corner to sit in the same seat I'd been sitting in before. The coffee came out quickly, so I was really excited and sat down. But someone was sitting there. I was about to leave, embarrassed, when the person grabbed me.

윤태현

Park Da-bin

박다빈

?

윤태현

I found it. Where was it?

박다빈

!!!!....

윤태현

Was it a mistake or were you avoiding me?

윤태현

Ha, I'm so nice. I've been giving this bitch a chance for months.

The strength in my hand suddenly gave out, and the coffee I was holding fell to the floor, splashing everywhere with a loud noise. Everyone in the cafe turned their attention to me.

He laughed at me as I trembled like a tree in fear, then forcibly grabbed my chin and lifted my head.

박다빈

Aaaah!

윤태현

Be quiet. People are looking at me weird.

He grabbed my wrist tightly and pulled me out of the cafe. Tears streamed down my face. I was going to tell Bae Jinyoung that I bought him coffee. But Bae Jinyoung might still be upset.
