์คํ 11:40
It's pitch black because the lights are off


๊น์ง์ฐ
Ugh... I can't see very well...?

Fumbling


๊น์ง์ฐ
Oh! Are these the stairs..?

The


๊น์ง์ฐ
Aaaargh!!

stairs cloud

Crash!!

Crash!!


์ ์์ฐ
Ah, I was startled!!


์ต์น์ฒ
What's going on?


๊น์ง์ฐ
(Clutching my knee) Ow...


์ต์น์ฒ
Huh? Jiwoo didn't sleep?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Yes... haha


์ ์์ฐ
Approaching Jiwoo and holding out a hand) Are you okay? It must hurt a lot.


๊น์ง์ฐ
(Standing up while holding hands) It's okay..!

(Sitting on the sofa)


๊น์ง์ฐ
But why aren't you two sleeping?


์ ์์ฐ
Oh, we were playing PlayStation. Why weren't you sleeping?


๊น์ง์ฐ
I couldn't sleep... and I was bored, so I was thinking of going out with anyone else who wasn't sleeping yet haha.


์ต์น์ฒ
Lol, were you that bored?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Yes... haha


์ ์์ฐ
Jiwoo, do you like games by any chance?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Yes!! I really like you!!


์ต์น์ฒ
Then do you want to do it together?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Um... no, haha. I don't really want to do it right now. Let's do it together next time!


์ ์์ฐ
Hmm... yeah!


์ ์์ฐ
Then what are you going to do?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Well...? Shall we go for a walk...?


์ต์น์ฒ
Shaking her head) No, going for a walk at this hour would be a little scary. The lights outside are broken, so it's really dark around here. It's hard to see, so it would be dangerous.


๊น์ง์ฐ
Ah... then what should I do...?


์ ์์ฐ
Then, would you like to go to the terrace?


๊น์ง์ฐ
The terrace?


์ ์์ฐ
Yeah. The terrace has soft light coming in and a nice atmosphere, so you'll probably like it too.


๊น์ง์ฐ
Oh! Thank you!


์ต์น์ฒ
The terrace is at the very end of the third-floor hallway.


๊น์ง์ฐ
yes


๊น์ง์ฐ
Ohh.... It's pretty..


๊น์ง์ฐ
Huh...? Is anyone here??


์ด์๋ฏผ
H-Hi?? You weren't sleeping..?


๊น์ง์ฐ
(Surprise) Ah!!


์ด์๋ฏผ
Sorry... Were you surprised?


๊น์ง์ฐ
It's okay!! But what are you doing here??


์ด์๋ฏผ
Ah... I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a bit. What about you?


๊น์ง์ฐ
I came out too because I was bored and couldn't sleep!!


์ด์๋ฏผ
Ohh..!


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
(Rubbing her eyes and waking up) O... huh? Jiwoo is here?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Huh?? There was one more person..!


์ด์๋ฏผ
He was sleeping so deeply I thought I wasn't even there lol


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
I was too tired, so I stopped... lol


์ด์๋ฏผ
(Looking at KakaoTalk) Ah, I wanted to hang out together, but Myungho is calling me..


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Get out of here! Shoo shoo!!


์ด์๋ฏผ
..... That's too much, really too much!!


์ด์๋ฏผ
Hi Jiwoo..๐ฅบ I'm off..


๊น์ง์ฐ
Hahaha, let's hang out together later when I get down there!


์ด์๋ฏผ
Oh, great, great!! See you later!!

Boom!


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
How did Jiwoo know to come here?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Ah, Seungcheol told me!!


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Seungcheol-nim.. lol This is awkward lol


๊น์ง์ฐ
I'm not really sure what to call it either... haha


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Just call me Seungcheol oppa!!


๊น์ง์ฐ
Oppa...?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Uh... um... then what should I call it...?

{ That is how Seungcheolโs creation of nicknames began..! }


๊น์ง์ฐ
Um... Seungcheol?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Uncle Seungcheol?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Saying Mr. Seungcheol is an exaggeration...


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Grandpa Seungcheol...?

Seungcheol: ??????????


๊น์ง์ฐ
Hmm... what should I really call it...?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
I call him Seungcheol hyung...


๊น์ง์ฐ
Oh!! That would be great!! Bro!!


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
brother??


๊น์ง์ฐ
Calling me 'Oppa' feels a bit awkward... and 'Uncle' looks too old, so I think calling me 'Hyung' is the most comfortable!


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Oh!! That would be great!!

Seungcheol's title decided like that: "Hyung"


๊น์ง์ฐ
Ah, but what was your name again..?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
No... lol Is it you this time...?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
My name is Kim Min-kyu haha


๊น์ง์ฐ
Ah!! Mr. Mingyu!!


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Hey... I'm a student too, but Mingyu, that's a bit much...!!


๊น์ง์ฐ
Oh, I'm sorry... Then what should I call you?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Hmm... what could there be?


๊น์ง์ฐ
How is it, senior?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
senior?


๊น์ง์ฐ
Yeah! Hyung feels a bit weird, and Oppa is a bit embarrassing... but I think you'd be the best choice, Senior?


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Um... call me whatever you're comfortable with... lol


๊น์ง์ฐ
Then I'll just call you Mingyu oppa lol


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Feeling good for some reason) Yeah!!


๊น์ง์ฐ
lol

As Jiwoo and Mingyu chatted away, it was already 1 AM.


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
Ah, but what time is it now?

์ค์ 1:00

๊น์ง์ฐ
Oh..! It's already 1 o'clock!!


๊น๋ฏผ๊ท
I'm late... lol Let's hurry inside.


๊น์ง์ฐ
great!

Commenting is good manners.
