On the day of the appointment, Riya and I met in the morning and headed to the appointment location together.

The meeting place is a department store nearby. Since I had other things to buy, I decided on a department store rather than a clothing store.

So 10 minutes before the appointment time.

“Everyone gathered together?”

Surprisingly, all 5 of us arrived ahead of time.

And surprisingly, it was Kang Yu-won who arrived here the fastest among them.

“It’s better to be early than late.”

Kang Yu-won is a person who hates causing harm to others more than you might think.

Even in the original novel, he was the type of person who tried to keep most of his promises at all costs.

Regardless of whether the promise is with someone else or with yourself.

“I met Haryeong halfway and came together.”

“Long time no see, seniors.”

In the case of Ho-yeon and Jin Ha-ryeong, it seemed like they came all the way here together.

Either we met from the beginning or we literally met in the middle.

Of course, my thoughts from the beginning were that we had met, but there was no need to say that, so I kept my mouth shut.

“Well, since everyone is gathered, let’s go.”

“I sent you what you need.”

It was a gathering to buy swimsuits, but the intention was not to come all the way here and just buy swimsuits.

There were more things I needed for the school trip than I thought.

For example, simple things like snacks, notes, etc. were the main items.

“…Do you buy that many snacks?”

“It’s better if you buy a lot! Better than nothing.”

“Sihyeon. No pigs…”

It took a while for Hoyeon to pack a lot of snacks, but as he said, it was better than nothing.

After putting all the snacks and shared tools into the cart, the last place we headed was the electronics store.

“Should I buy a watch?”

“Yes, I can’t take my cell phone with me, so I need it.”

Since my cell phone was confiscated, I needed a watch to use there. From the beginning, there was a watch among the essential items.

There are many types of watches, but what we need is a small watch.

I liked a watch that I could carry around and look at at once.

‘This will do.’

What I chose was a digital watch the size of my palm.

It is not particularly expensive and is very portable. Of course, Kim Ho-yeon will be the one to carry it.

I put the watch in the shopping cart and looked around to tell Hoyeon, but Hoyeon didn’t come into sight right away.

The guy came into view at the corner right next to it.

It was a corner that dealt with cameras and microphones.

“What are you doing here?”

Were you interested in this too?

I’ve never seen Hoyeon particularly interested in cameras, so I asked him about it, and he picked up a webcam and opened his mouth.

“Hey, what do you think if I do a broadcast?”

“Broadcast? Internet broadcast?”

“Yes. I’ve developed some interest recently.”

Internet broadcasting. It was a job I had never really thought about.

Neither in my previous life nor in this life did I have any particular connection to that area. But I knew what that job did.

That’s why I said it without any hesitation.

“You will do well.”

He was well-spoken, had a good mentality, was good at paying attention to people’s opinions, and was friendly.

In that sense, he was someone who would be quite good at broadcasting.

He looked at me for a moment at my firm words, then smiled slightly and put the webcam he was holding in his other pocket.

At that moment, another voice came from next to me.

“Then let’s quickly go to the next corner! Now I have to go buy a swimsuit!”

I was curious why it was suddenly on the air, but I didn’t ask.

Well… there must be circumstances. He’ll probably do well too.

‘I wonder what the time will be like.’

It will be difficult.

“Sihyeon, what are you doing here?”

“Just a little thought.”

“Let’s go with a swimsuit.”

Anyway, after purchasing all the supplies we would take for the school trip, we headed to the clothing store to buy swimsuits.

It was mid-April, and it was time to start wearing swimsuits, so it wasn’t that difficult to find a swimsuit store.

“Oh! This is similar to the one I wore before.”

As soon as Hoyeon arrived at the store, what she picked out were loose-length pants that reached her knees.

An orange swimsuit that suits your personality.

After looking at him for a moment, I lifted the black pants next to me.

These pants were exactly what I wanted, not too tight and not too short.

“Sihyeon, are you going to buy a top?”

“…Maybe?”

I wasn’t brave enough to take my top off.

Hoyeon seems to be planning on taking off her clothes.

“What about Yoo Won?”

“I will buy it, unconditionally.”

The pants Kang Yu-won chose were long pants that reached all the way to the knees.

Even in the original work, he didn’t like exposing his body, so it was a natural result.

Of course, you wouldn’t know if you met the original female lead. It was a natural thing now.

“Sihyeon. This.”

“Rash guard?”

What Riya brought to me was a black rash guard.

A rash guard with a zipper in the middle rather than an integrated one. The black and white colors looked quite sophisticated.

“I think you’ll like it.”

As Riya said, she knew my taste very well.

Black, not flashy and not too flashy. It was a swimsuit that matched just that.

“Would you like to try it on?”

“I’ll try it on now.”

The swimsuit was much more comfortable than I thought.

The pants were not made to be sticky to begin with, and the top was a loose rash guard, so there was no discomfort.

As long as it’s a swimsuit, it’s inevitable that some of your body will be exposed.

“Riya. How about it?”

“…Joe, okay. It suits you very well.”

When I showed it to Riya, she suddenly blushed and walked away, but she said it was okay, so it would be okay.

Next to him, Jin Ha-ryeong was handing Ho-yeon a loose orange outerwear.

“Senior. It’s still cold, so wear it.”

“Huh? Ah… okay.”

“I want to go with you too…”

“Let’s go together later, around summer vacation.”

Jin Ha-ryeong, who had been talking for a while while handing the clothes to Ho-yeon, soon came this way.

“Riya senior, let’s choose quickly too.”

“Ah. Yes.”

Jin Ha-ryeong, who had Riya in his arms, took her towards the women’s swimsuit.

‘Boo, I’m embarrassed.’

Riya was not that close to Jin Ha-ryeong yet.

Of course, I tried to become friends with her as much as I liked her, but… there was no way that would be easy due to her personality.

Women’s swimsuit in such situations.

Her face turned red when she received the swimsuit she handed her.

“Senior, try this on!”

“Exposure. There are too many…”

What Jin Ha-ryeong playfully handed over was a bikini. It’s also a fairly small bikini.

Of course, it wasn’t really given to me to wear. Because Jin Ha-ryeong knew Riya’s personality.

“Okay, then I’ll give you something with less exposure.”

What Jin Ha-ryeong brought out this time was a swimsuit with a pareo over a bikini that was wider than before.

Although there was definitely less exposure than before. Objectively speaking, this is a swimsuit that boasts quite a bit of exposure.

“This is okay, right?”

“It’s okay…oh?”

It was for this purpose that I took out a small bikini.

It has a relatively large area! If I say that, wouldn’t they listen?

‘This is strange…?’

Riya also felt this subconsciously, but did not specifically reject it.

The biggest reason was none other than Baek Si-hyeon.

Whenever I meet Sihyeon, I never wear anything revealing.

Wouldn’t it be okay to show it to you this time?

No, I want to show you.

That was the biggest driving force that motivated her.

“Okay.”

After receiving the swimsuit, Riya went straight to the locker room and changed.

My first swimsuit in 5 years.

The first feeling she felt when she put on that swimsuit was shame.

‘Exposure… too much.’

More than anything, I was so embarrassed about my stomach.

I immediately regretted it. Should I just change back and wear something else?

‘…no. At least once…’

Wouldn’t it be okay for Si-hyeon once in a while?

Riya, who had almost brainwashed herself with that thought, soon caught her breath and came out.

Riya said to me who was already waiting for her outside.

“Uh, what do you think?”

Riya, who said that, was beautiful.

It was literally the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Above all, it was the first time I saw her slim waist and stomach while I knew her.

Long, smooth white legs sticking out of the side of the pareo.

Finally, we see Riya’s blushing and embarrassed face.

The first sight of Riya was beautiful and fascinating.

“Sihyeon…?”

“Ah… It suits you very much.”

I came out of my thoughts for a moment and spat out the words that came out of my mouth.

Raw appreciation without any other thoughts.

“Of all the ones I’ve seen so far, it suits me the best.”

“Ahh…”

At my words, Riya crouched down for a moment, covering her bright red face with her hands.

After that, little. In a voice that even I, who was right in front of, couldn’t hear properly.

“Thank goodness…”

Because it’s rewarding.

Riya muttered very softly and immediately jumped up from her seat again.

Then, as if he was embarrassed to see me, he avoided my gaze and headed toward the locker room.

“I will do it. With this swimsuit.”

It ended quickly after that.

Ho-yeon and Kang Yu-won had already finished paying for their swimsuits, and after paying for Riya and my swimsuits, we left the store straight away.

For reference, I even calculated Riya’s. There was still money left in hand.

‘Appreciation value…’

Anyway, that kind of money.

Riya said she would buy it, but I had already paid for it.

“Then let’s go eat. I know a good place nearby.”

After hearing Ho-yeon’s words, it was already 6 o’clock and dinner time. As he said, I was quite hungry.

The other people seemed to agree as well, so we headed to the restaurant Hoyeon mentioned.

‘…It’s a little new.’

I, who was walking a little behind, thought so when I saw the crowded group.

new.

Have I ever had so many friends around me, and have I ever hung out with them like this?

There wasn’t.

So this scene was new to me.

I’m not sure if it’s good yet. Because it was good for me to just have Riya.

But if you asked me if I didn’t like it, I could say it emphatically.

‘I don’t hate it.’

I don’t hate it.

I would definitely say that.
