#. Yeosu
I work as a middle school teacher in Incheon.
Then, at the end of July, summer vacation began.
When summer vacation came, I decided to go on a trip to Yeosu with a friend who was my college classmate.
But... the friend who was supposed to go on the trip with me got a summer cold two days before the trip, which he said he wouldn't catch, so I ended up going alone.
It's been two days since I started traveling alone.
After arriving in Yeosu yesterday, I went to a nearby exhibition and rode the cable car.
I finished the bakery tour I planned with my friend in one day, so I have nothing to do today.

'First of all, I'm so hungry, I should go eat first...'
When I was ordering at a restaurant and waiting for the food, I was thinking about what to do today.
A stranger approached me.
전웅
"Excuse me...! You're my ideal type, so could you give me your number?"
여주연
"ah...,"
handsome.
여주연
"It's 010-1×××-8×××! Please contact me."
전웅
"Your name is Yeo Ju-yeon, right?"
여주연
"Huh...? How did you know?"
전웅
"Sister, don't you remember me?"
전웅
"We were in the same club in middle school..."
여주연
"Uh... Are you sure it's Bear...?"
전웅
"Wow... You didn't recognize me...?"
여주연
"No...! Why have you changed so much?"
전웅
"You're still the same, sister."
When I met Woong after a long time, his voice and face had changed so much.
It felt strange to see Woong, who had always seemed so cute, so big.
여주연
"Wow, but I'm really happy to see you."
전웅
"So, do you live here, sister?"
여주연
"No! I'm here on a trip. What about you?"
전웅
"I'm here for a trip too."
전웅
"But, did you come alone, sister?"
여주연
"Uh... yeah, how did it happen...?"
전웅
"I'm here, how long will you be here?"
여주연
"I think I'll probably go tomorrow morning."
전웅
"So, are you free tonight?"
여주연
"About what time?"
전웅
"Oh, it's around 8 o'clock!"
여주연
"Oh, oh, it's time."
전웅
"Then, would you like to go on a cruise with me?"
전웅
"I have two tickets, but I don't have anyone to ride with..."
전웅
"I heard there are fireworks at night, but I don't want to watch them alone."
여주연
"Wow... This is so good!"
After that, Woong and I talked about old times and how we were doing these days, and other various things.
Soon after, the food we had ordered came out, and Woong and I continued to eat together and chat.
전웅
"Oh, right. Where is your room, sister?"
여주연
"I'm staying at a hotel right in front of Dolsandaegyo Bridge... What was the name of the hotel?"
전웅
"Huh...? Is this the Moa Hotel?"
여주연
"Oh, right! Are you there too?"
전웅
"Yes! I heard it had a great view so I made a reservation there."
여주연
"Wow... this is so amazing."
전웅
"Then, after you finish eating, do you want to go back to your accommodations together?"
전웅
"I... I'm preparing to get my driver's license right after the college entrance exam, so I know how to drive...!!"
여주연
"Oh... okay, let's go together."
Why is it, seeing Woong's current appearance, which has changed a lot compared to when I last saw him in middle school,
I feel like my heart is tickling.
After finishing my meal, I got into Woong's car and headed to my lodging.
여주연
"Oh... what? Oh Yeon-ju is in Yeosu too?"
I heard that Yeonju, my college classmate, was also in Yeosu, so I contacted her.
Yeonju also came to Yeosu with her college classmates, and I was quite close with all of the classmates who came to Yeosu with Yeonju.
So, somehow I ended up playing with them.
A few hours later, I returned to my room, washed up, and lay down on the bed. Perhaps because I was tired, I fell into a deep sleep.

여주연
"hello...?"
전웅
"Oh, were you sleeping, sister...?"
여주연
"Ah... I must have dozed off for a bit..."
전웅
"Well, it's just that the cruise reservation time is almost up."
여주연
"Ah, wow...!! I'll get ready and go right away."
전웅
"Come slowly. I'll come down slowly too."
여주연
"Oh, thank you."
After finishing the call with Woong, I hurriedly got ready and went out to the first floor entrance.
As soon as I reached the first floor, Woong turned around, as if he sensed my presence.
전웅
"Wow, sis... Really..."
여주연
"huh?"
전웅
"Ah... um, no, lol"
여주연
"What the heck lol"
전웅
"Haha, shall we go?"
여주연
"Yeah, yeah!"
The night view of Yeosu seen from the cruise was truly amazing.
여주연
"Oww,"
전웅
"yes?"
여주연
"Thank you so much for bringing me here today."
전웅
"Don't worry... I'm the one who's grateful that you came with me."
여주연
"Oh, but, it's really so comfortable to be here like this."
전웅
"Really... so pretty..."
여주연
"uh?"
전웅
"No...! Uh... um... I said it..."
여주연
"Ha, I know. I'm pretty."
전웅
"Oh, you're really unlucky, sister."
여주연
"Ah hahaha this is funny."
After having a great time on the cruise with Woongi and seeing the fireworks, we got off the cruise and returned to our accommodations.
I closed my eyes thinking I would just rest for a moment, but when I opened them because I was so hungry, it was morning.
When I woke up and checked my phone, I saw that I had received a text message from Woong 10 minutes ago.
09:10 AM
전웅
-Sister, do you want to eat breakfast together?
여주연
okay!-
여주연
Would you like to meet around 10:20?
전웅
-great.
여주연
"Ugh... It's 9:20 now, and if I get ready and go out, it'll be 10:20."
여주연
"When do you eat? Around 11:00 or 11:30?"
여주연
"Well... the train I need to take is scheduled to leave at 12 o'clock..."
여주연
"I have to go right after eating."
Since I thought I would have to eat and take the train right away, I packed my bags and got ready.
After I finished preparing, the time for my appointment with Woong was approaching, so I hurriedly went to meet Woong.
전웅
"Sister!"
여주연
"Hey, what do you want to eat?"
전웅
"Sister, do you like crab soup?"
여주연
"Oh, yeah! I really like crabs."
전웅
"Then let's go eat. There's a crab soup restaurant right in front!"
전웅
"But, are you going right after you eat?"
여주연
"Oh, yeah... The train ticket was for 12 o'clock...?"
전웅
"That's too bad."
여주연
"Well... we live on opposite ends of the country, but we both live in Incheon, so let's meet up often."
전웅
"great,"
After finishing my meal, I arrived at the nearby train station.
Thankfully, Woong was waiting with me for the train that was supposed to arrive in about 8 minutes.
For some reason, a long silence flowed between us. And the one who broke that silence was Woong.
전웅
"Me, older sister."
여주연
"huh?"
전웅
"I liked my older sister while we were doing club activities together."
여주연
"uh...?"
전웅
"But, after I entered high school, I was just like the hero I had been foolishly fond of back when I was close to elementary school."
전웅
"I thought I liked you as such a wonderful person, so I forgot about you."
전웅
"Now that I see you again, you're still cool, pretty, and respectable..."
전웅
"Well, when I saw it again, it was so exciting and good."
전웅
"Oh, I'm not asking you to date me right now."
전웅
"I just feel sad at the thought of breaking up."
전웅
"I wanted to tell you to play more later."
전웅
"Why did you say such a long, long... long... thing..."
여주연
"Ah, it's nice to hear something like this after a long time."
여주연
"I also had fun playing with you on this trip,"
여주연
"On the one hand, I was so excited."
여주연
"So, let's meet again soon."
전웅
"Ah... good...!!"
Anyone who saw Woong's blushing face after hearing what I said would have found it quite cute.
여주연
"The train will be here soon. I'll go first."
전웅
"Goodbye, sister."
