Peach's Friends
phone number
I heard a sound above my head, so I looked up and saw only a black mask.
피치
Phew, that startled me! Take off your mask.
다니엘
Is that Minhyun? Did you catch a cold?
민현
No. But what were we talking about?
피치
Uh... I was so surprised I forgot... Ah! Daehwi said he'd be sad if he got a girlfriend in a year!
민현
Why are you upset? You can just get a boyfriend too.
피치
If it were as easy as it sounds, it would already be here.
대휘
Noona! Guanlin hyung is here! Huh? Minhyun hyung?
관린
Hehe... I got caught.
성우
So Minhyun was really here?
Seongwoo, Guanlin, and Daehwi returned holding an ice cream each.
대휘
Noona! I was going to the convenience store with this guy... no, I mean, Seong-woo hyung, and I picked up Guanlin hyung!
피치
Did you pick up Guanlin? But why are you calling him 'hyung' while watching Seongwoo's reaction?
성우
I told you to call me 'hyung' because I'd buy you ice cream.
대휘
Sister, if you finish the ice cream, I'm going to call you Mister again.
Daehwi whispered to me.
피치
Lol, yeah. Where did you pick up Guanlin? lol
대휘
I was on my way to the convenience store when I thought someone was behind me, so I turned around and saw Guanlin crouching behind a trash can.
관린
No! I was hiding!
대휘
But I could see everything
관린
It's because my legs are long..
성우
I heard Minhyun and Peach are childhood friends? Why were you hiding?
관린
Minhyun, Daehwi, and Peach were playing tailing games!
다니엘
Stalking game?
피치
But the problem is that I got caught right from the start!
민현
From the beginning?
피치
Yeah. You guys have been following me since the zoo.
민현
I thought you wouldn't notice since you're so clueless...
피치
I have that much common sense, you know? You wanted to hang out with Daehwi but he wouldn't let you join, so you just followed along, right?
민현
You really are clueless.
대휘
Really? You're saying you followed me because you wanted to hang out?
관린
Me too! I followed you because Daehwi is cute!
대휘
Um... then I'll play with the big brothers tomorrow!
When Daehwi said it as if he were doing a favor, everyone burst out laughing because it was cute.
피치
Oh, right. I should introduce them first, shouldn't I? This is Lee Kwan-lin, and he's Minhyun's childhood friend.
피치
These are Kang Daniel and Ong Seongwu, my friends from the same school.
관린
Hi! Nice to meet you!
다니엘
Hi! But you look familiar.
관린
Hmm... I guess I do look pretty average. Anyway, nice to meet you!
성우
I don't think so lol. What school do you go to?
관린
I am a cube!
When the kids are talking
대휘
Noona, I want to ride my skateboard again.
피치
Really? Then shall I pull this time?
As I put Daehwi on the board and pushed him, Daehwi, who was sitting opposite me, smiled cutely.
대휘
As expected, Peach-noona is the best!
피치
Oh my, so cute!
민현
Come out. I'll give you a push.
대휘
Tsk... I prefer it when my older sister supports me.
관린
But why is Daehwi riding while sitting? Try riding standing up!
대휘
..Standing..? Yeah! Daniel hyung! Hold me!
다니엘
Hahaha, yeah!
민현
Hey, why are you calling Daniel when your brother is right next to you?
대휘
Daniel is really good at snowboarding!
민현
What does that have to do with holding it? I can hold it, you know?
대휘
No! Big Brother Daniel!
성우
Daehwi, should I hold it for you? Seongwoo hyung is good at snowboarding too!
대휘
It sounds like a lie...
Seong-woo, who had been holding Dae-hwi's suspicious hand and giving him a ride on the board, suddenly let go of his hand.
성우
Alright! Life is all about the real thing!
대휘
What! Ugh, Hyung! Minhyun Hyung!
Daehwi, having barely managed to stop his board, ran to Minhyun and hugged him.
피치
Still, look at him going straight to Minhyun just because he's his older brother..
Minhyun comforted Daehwi with a look of inward pride.
민현
Aww, aww. Who made our Daehwi cry? Who bullied him?
대휘
Um... *sniff*... Seong-woo hyung... no! The middle-aged man... *sob*
성우
Hey! Why are you calling me an old man again!
대휘
Bad guy! Punish big brother!
민현
okay!
관린
I'll help you!
Minhyun, holding Daehwi, and Guanlin chased after Seongwoo.
피치
Lol, he deserved to be called an old man.
다니엘
Peach, didn't you say you wanted to ride a skateboard before, too?
피치
Yeah! Teach me!
다니엘
Hmm... but it's already past 6, so I don't think I can make it right now... Do you want to meet tomorrow?
피치
Tomorrow? Yeah!
다니엘
Okay! Then give me your phone.
다니엘
This is my number~ I'll save it for you.
Daniel entered the number into my phone and made a call.
다니엘
A call came in. This is the Peach number~ Saved!
My phone that Daniel returned had a number named Daniel saved on it.
다니엘
I'll contact you tonight.
피치
..huh!
The children returned while I was looking at Daniel's number on my phone one more time.
민현
It's time for dinner now, so let's go.
관린
okay!
성우
I need to go to my part-time job now, too.
As I was walking with Guanlin, Minhyun, and Daehwi, I turned around to see Daniel making a phone shape with his hand and shaking it next to his ear.
...I wish I could get a call soon.
