male friend
13. The Classic Black Hair
As soon as Jimin finished speaking, Goo Heejin was already excited. Her cheeks were flushed… She was so happy.
구희진
… Ahahaha. I. had a promise, right?
Our Heejin, who has absolutely no talent for acting, lied so clearly that she left this place in a huff.
By the way… I, still under Park Jimin’s arm, carefully turned my body to look at him.
윤여주
Hey… you…
박지민
…don’t you want to see the kid?
Oh, look at that change in tone. Where's that brash guy from a few seconds ago? He's a total idiot now.
윤여주
… Phew.
박지민
…Why are you laughing?
윤여주
Secret.
My cheeks are burning, but Park Jimin is no pushover. He's become a tomato. I tried to run away alone, leaving him like this... but my wrist got grabbed.
박지민
…why.
윤여주
No... haha no.
박지민
No, what is it? I'm the only one laughing.
Anyway, there's something about him that makes people laugh without even intending to. He quickly cleared his throat and opened his mouth. He's cute.
박지민
Who. Me?
"Yes, there's someone else here besides you." He nodded as if agreeing with what I said.
윤여주
Big. Anyway, let's pretend we didn't hear that earlier, right?
It was just an empty promise to avoid the situation…
박지민
I was serious.
윤여주
Yeah, I know you meant it…
윤여주
…?
…?
윤여주
…!
윤여주
ㅁ, what?
Oh my gosh- I was speechless and just rolling my eyes, when suddenly Park Jimin put his hand on my head. He said, "This person is so guilty."
박지민
Let's go, little master.
Guilty, thump thump. After that, he muttered, "What's cuter than that?" and walked ahead. Is my heart alive? Are you okay? ㅠㅠㅠ
I stopped by a nearby convenience store with Park Jimin and bought food for the little one… Since I was starting to feel hungry, I bought a bunch of food(?) that looked like our food and walked up the alley.
윤여주
Let's just open one jelly!
At my words, Park Jimin stopped without saying anything and opened the plastic bag to show me.
As I stirred around, I saw the bag of jelly I'd bought. Oh yeah, it was sweet! I excitedly took it out.
I took a bite first, and then gave a bite to Park Jimin, who was struggling to carry a plastic bag like a shopping cart.
윤여주
Isn't it delicious? It's my favorite jelly.
Teddy bear jelly. I like the green one the best. I muttered to myself too much and felt embarrassed later, so I said, "Oh, yeah, that's just how it is." I felt embarrassed.
Just then, a baby kitten appeared in front of us. My little one~ Don't you want to see your big sister? A magic trick where your little one's tongue is cut off.
When I was so moved by the family reunion(?) that I was on the verge of tears, it was Jimin who opened the can and handed it to the kid.
박지민
bon appetit.
Even though his speech may seem a little cold, his caressing touch is so affectionate. Anyone who sees him would think he's their own child.
After watching the little one lick his food for a few minutes and giving him water, we both collapsed on the floor with cramps in our feet, perhaps because we were squatting down.
윤여주
… Ouch. My legs.
윤여주
Did we buy water?
박지민
Water… yeah.
Park Jimin, who had been rummaging through the bag, soon uncapped a water bottle and offered it to me. Trying to be polite, I took a sip and drank...
윤여주
Phew. Phew-
I've never taken a sip before, so I just slurped it down and fell over like someone with a hole in their chin. Oh, it's embarrassing.
The kid who was watching that wiped my sleeve with a tissue he found somewhere… Wait a minute, why is Park Jimin wiping it?
윤여주
… Oh, sorry. I can do it.
박지민
Here. In your mouth too.
윤여주
…Huh? Huh.
When I was busy wiping the water off with a tissue in a hurry… he would watch me quietly and then open his mouth.
박지민
You can drink it. I won't say anything.
윤여주
…oh.
윤여주
okay.
Only then did I feel at ease and drink the water. Kekeke, it tastes like honey.
Gulp, gulp, then suddenly, as I was looking around and taking in the scenery... something came into my sight.
윤여주
…however,
윤여주
Why did you bleach your hair?
It was sudden. Perhaps it was only now that I noticed his distinctive hair color, which had never felt out of place before.
박지민
Just because black hair doesn't suit you.
윤여주
Huh. Is there something that doesn't suit your face?
Yoon Yeo-ju, who often reveals her true feelings.
Maybe it's because I'm being unnecessarily honest, but I think the reason Park Jimin is snickering is because of me.
박지민
Why should I have black hair?
윤여주
Yeah, do it!
"I miss black hair," he said, popping a teddy bear into his mouth. He fiddled with my hair, then turned his gaze to me and answered.
박지민
If you don't like it.
윤여주
Wow, what the heck. I'm so pissed-
He smiled faintly and added, "I should dye my hair black sometime."
윤여주
Yeah, that's good. That's what happens now.
박지민
I don't think so.
윤여주
…Tch.
윤여주
If that's the case, then why did you ask my opinion?
This is truly absurd. I grabbed a handful of teddy bears and stuffed them into my mouth. Sure enough, they got stuck in my throat and I started choking.
…Yoon Yeo-ju, who can’t have a single day of peace in front of her crush.
Park Jimin, who was surprised by that, hurriedly patted my back. Hahahaha, why is this situation so funny? About six teddy bears came out of his mouth.
Seriously, this situation is so ridiculous that we're both laughing to death.
“Ugh… You can stop knocking now.”
"are you okay?"
“Ugh… It hurts, it hurts. Stop hitting me. I’m fine!”
“I won’t take it away, so eat slowly.”
“Oh, that’s not it…”
…
The next day. The kid who had been making all sorts of fuss about things like he wouldn't do it, that he didn't want to...
A situation where you suddenly appear with black hair.
윤여주
Wow. What is this? Who is this?
윤여주
Seriously, at this point, he must have been born to have black hair… No.
윤여주
… That’s okay, you said you don’t have black hair!
박지민
You told me to do it.
박지민
So I did it.
++ Park Jimin and Yoon Yeo-joo, start dating right now. Right now. No objections accepted.
