Hey, look at the redhead!
I didn't intend to turn my head... but I accidentally turned and saw where Kim Yerin pointed.
김예린
...You're right... I'm a little disappointed.
김여주
...Actually, you're right. I'm sorry.
김예린
Ah, I don't know! I was so happy you said you'd play with me like this! What's so great about that redhead?
김여주
Hey, when did I say I liked you? I didn't say I liked you. I just said we'd eat together.
김예린
No, it's written on your forehead.
김예린
I like red hair!!! And so on.
김여주
Oh, what am I saying? I'm still uncomfortable around him. I don't like him.
김예린
Hehe, really? Okay, I get it for now.
I think I played with Kim Yerin until almost evening.
It felt like it was almost the first time since high school that I had gone out so actively, aside from just sitting and chatting with Kim Yerin.
And so, the evening deepened, having forgotten the promise I had made to Park Woo-jin.
Zing- Zing-
Who on earth is interrupting me while I'm studying..? Is it Kim Yerin?
I unlocked my phone and checked the contents.
For a moment, goosebumps ran all over my body, and I was filled with the thought, "What should I do?"
I received a text message from Park Woo-jin asking if I still hadn't eaten dinner.
I had to reply, but it felt awkward to lie and also awkward to suggest canceling the appointment.
I was just looking at Park Woo-jin's message when Park Woo-jin immediately sent a message.
If it's difficult to meet, it's fine to just meet tomorrow.
Because I kept looking at it and thinking about it, the read status disappeared immediately.
Yeah... let's just suggest meeting tomorrow instead.
I'm sorry, something came up... I forgot to message you. Like you said, I think it would be better to meet tomorrow.
-okay.
Still, since Park Woo-jin sent me a message first, I was able to come up with a suitable excuse. I put down my phone and focused on the studies I was doing.
The time to meet Park Woo-jin arrived. For the first time in a long while, I wore a skirt, styled my hair, and applied makeup to my face, which had previously only had lip tint on it.
I am just dressing up to protect the other person's eyes; I have absolutely no other intentions.
I was on my way to the place where I had promised to meet Park Woo-jin.
I definitely arrived 5 minutes early for the appointment, but Park Woo-jin was standing there.
김여주
Oh, hi? You came early.
박우진
Yeah, you came early too.
김여주
Hey, at least you came earlier. Where should we go? If we don't have anywhere to go, we can just go to the cafe you mentioned.
박우진
She's wearing a skirt.
김여주
Huh? Ah... just, you know summer is slowly approaching, so I wanted to get into the mood.
박우진
It suits them well.
김여주
Ah, yeah. Thank you.
At that moment, I felt uneasy. It felt strange as the bright sunshine gradually faded and the street grew dark.
I hope it's just my imagination. I wish the weather would stay sunny like this.
The place you said you wanted to come to so much...
김여주
Arcade??
박우진
Yeah, why? Is the arcade not very good?
김여주
No, I like entertainment.
I haven't been to an arcade even once since my first year of high school... It's kind of strange to see myself back here again.
박우진
Do you know how to play the claw machine?
김여주
If you just pick a doll, it's a claw machine.
박우진
..No, that's true, but do you know how to pick?
김여주
Me? I know.
박우진
Ah... so you know...
박우진
Yeah... I guess they already knew that...
김여주
what's the matter?
박우진
It's nothing.
김여주
Should I win you a doll? I'm actually pretty lucky.
박우진
Then try picking that one.
What Park Woo-jin pointed to, telling me to pick it, was a big chick doll.
Did they doubt that I'm good at picking? They specifically asked me to pick something that looks difficult.
김여주
Okay, I'll pick you.
I think I picked hard to make him regret provoking me, as a pointless competitive spirit had flared up.
...but
I must have just gotten competitive for no reason; I came back to my senses just as I was about to run out of money.
That's right. I've already spent all the money.
김여주
Ack... I could have pulled it out.
Then, the sound of lightning striking was heard from somewhere, and it began to rain slowly.
Tap- tap-
I'm ruined.
It was my mistake to assume that it wouldn't rain because the weather was sunny today.
Neither Park Woojin nor I brought an umbrella.
