19. Confession and After (2)

” Haam, I slept too late last night… ”

I stretched and thought back to last night.

As soon as I entered the room with Yeonseo after breaking up with Hyunsuk, Yeonseo grabbed my hand and kept asking me how things were.

At first, I didn’t want to tell him, wondering why he was suddenly asking me that, but after hearing Yeonseo’s advice, I gained the courage to listen to his confession, so I told him.

One by one, slowly going up to the rooftop with him, slowly confessing my feelings to him while talking alone, and… kissing him.

I told him everything. Of course, I was embarrassed at first, so I spoke little by little, but gradually I accepted his feelings and became aware of my own.

Before I knew it, my embarrassment had disappeared and I was happy and joyful as I spoke to Yeonseo.

” See~ Am I right? You like Hyunseok. ”

” Oh, that… Back then, I thought there was no way I could do that..! ”

” Haha, the person who said that is now clinging to me like that~ ”

” Now… you know my heart… ”

I said, hiding my flushed face with my hair.

With a click, Yeonseo took another picture of me and showed it to me.

” Yes, now she really is the image of a girl in love. What do you think? Do you think so too? ”

I could tell for sure after seeing the picture Yeonseo showed me.

I really fell for him…

When I recalled the scene where I had a conversation with Yeonseo yesterday, my heart started pounding.

I wanted to see him quickly, so I took a quick shower and put on the clothes that Haneul had made for me.

” Is this… the right way to wear it…? ”

I remember it being called a three-button long one-piece dress that was integrated with a vest.

The collar and short sleeves were light beige, and the vest and skirt were sky blue, which was quite beautiful.

The skirt was neither too long nor too short, just enough to slightly cover her knees.

As the weather is getting warmer, the material seems to have been designed with that in mind and is quite thin, giving a cool feel.

” Hoo, it suits you well~ ”

” Huh? Are you awake? ”

” So you’re dressed like that to go meet Hyunseok now? ”

” Yeah. Is that… okay? Isn’t there something strange? ”

Yeonseo got up from the bed, slowly approached me, and neatly adjusted her skirt.

” By the way, this is the first time I’ve seen you wear a skirt. Okay, let’s straighten it out like this. ”

” Okay, thanks. Then I’ll go out first. ”

” Okay, go quickly~ ”

I opened the door forcefully and headed to Hyunseok’s room.

‘What kind of expression would you make if you saw me now? Or rather, would you be awake right now?’

My heart started pounding again as I waited for his reaction.

*****

” Ah, what should I do… Should I go in? No, but still… ”

How many minutes had passed since I arrived in front of his room?

I haven’t met him yet.

To be exact, I was so nervous that I kept putting my hand on the door and then pulling it back, hesitating even to knock on his door.

If you saw me decorated like this for the first time, wouldn’t you think it was strange?

It’s only been a day since I confessed to you, but I wonder if I’m the only one who’s excited.

Thinking about that made me afraid to meet him.

Before I knew his heart, before I knew my heart, I definitely… went to see him simply.

It was so hard for me to just stand in front of the room he was in, my heart felt like it was going to burst.

But I miss him so much that I can’t keep doing this, so the moment I try to grab his doorknob

As the door opened, I was quickly dragged inside by a hand that grabbed me.

” Why didn’t you come in and stayed outside? ”

The moment I was dragged away, I closed my eyes, but when I heard his voice, I opened my eyes and looked, and his face was right in front of me.

” Oh, that’s why… ”

My heart started beating faster and faster as I realized his hands were wrapped around my waist and my body was pressed against his, and my face started to feel hot.

I feel so good being in his arms right now.

I want to stay like this a little longer.

The moment I thought that, I buried my face in his arms and took a deep breath.

The moment I breathed in his warm yet strong scent, I was so ecstatic that my legs gave out to the point where I almost collapsed, but he held onto my waist, so I was barely able to stand.

” Charlotte? ”

” Hehe, Hyunseok’s scent… I like it… Ah..! ”

I tried to fall out of his arms, but he held my waist tightly, so I couldn’t fall.

” Oh, so that was just now, uh… ”

” Do you want to stay like this a little longer? ”

” Yeah… ”

I just held him in my arms and headed to bed.

And I sat next to him, holding his hand, feeling his warmth.

‘I… can’t stand it any longer…! ‘

I was so happy to be sitting next to him and touching his hand, but since we had already kissed, it was too hard to hold back any longer, so I stopped touching his hand.

She held his face and their lips overlapped each other.

I lightly kissed his lips with a smacking sound before pushing him away and laying him down on the bed.

” Sha… Charlotte?! ”

” Hyunseok… is bad… because he made me unable to tolerate it anymore…! ”

I placed my lips on his again,

” Okay. ”

They shared a deep kiss, so deep that they could feel each other’s lust, with sounds like saliva mixing together, such as ‘Churup, bueh’.

While kissing him like that, the tickling sensation in my lower abdomen was so ticklish that I wanted to touch him, but I had my hand interlocked with his.

I had no choice but to keep kissing him.

‘Ugh, my lower abdomen feels hot… It tickles, but I don’t want to let go…! ‘

Hyunseok and I continued kissing, not realizing how much time had passed, to confirm our feelings for each other.

” Are you okay now? ”

” Sigh. I’m sorry… ”

” No, it was too good. ”

Hyunseok said that and pulled my head into his arms.

The sound of his heart beating in his chest was just as fast as mine.

” That… right? ”

” Yeah. ”

I just got out of his arms and stood in front of him, turning my body slightly.

” What do you think…? This is my first time wearing it like this, isn’t it weird…? ”

At my words, Hyunseok opened his eyes wide and smiled brightly.

” No, it’s really pretty. It suits you well. ”

” Really? Hehe, that’s a relief. ”

” Let’s go outside instead. The weather isn’t that hot and we’ll have to leave soon, so let’s look around a bit more. ”

” Yeah! ”

I was so excited to go out with Hyunseok.

My heart raced at the thought of walking down the street with him, as if we were lovers on a date in a novel.

‘Huh…? Wait… Wait?! Is this… a date? ‘

The thought of going on a date with him made me feel nervous.

‘Uh…what should I do? I’m so nervous thinking about a date…’

He came up to me, ready to go out, and held out his hand.

” Shall we go? ”

” Oh, yeah. ”

*****

The weather was nice for a walk with him, just as he said.

” Hmm, Charlotte. Is there anywhere you want to go? ”

” Huh? Well, ah! I’m a little hungry, so do you want to eat something simple? ”

” Yeah, I think they sell sandwiches over there. Should we go there? ”

” Yeah. ”

Let’s hold hands and go to the sandwich place. There is…

” Hoo, it’s Charlotte and Hyunseok. ”

” Huh~ So that’s how they were? ”

There was Ms. Elina and Unnie Minhee.

” Two… Why are you two here…! ”

” Huh? I just came to have a quick breakfast. ”

” Right, but I didn’t know I’d see such a rare scene? ”

” You two were eating here too? ”

” Right, so you were the one who sent the message? ”

” Haha, yes. ”

” Oh! I heard that too. I was surprised that you suddenly brought that up. Normally, you wouldn’t even accept stories like that. ”

” Well, I guess you could call it my own kind of service. That’s why I was able to see such a great scene. ”

” That’s right~ Rather than that, both of you come here! There are a lot of stories I want to hear. ”

” Yes, let’s go. Charlotte! ”

” Huh? Hey… Wait…! ”

I felt a little embarrassed that those two had caught us in our current situation, but Hyunseok didn’t seem to feel that way.

” So who confessed first? ”

” Yes?! That… That is… ”

” I did it first. I sent the story too. ”

” Huh~ Yeah, that’s right? That’s more surprising than that. ”

At Minhee’s words as she looked at me and said that

” Surprising? ”

” Yeah! I didn’t think Charlotte would accept it so quickly. Hmm, what should I say? I thought she’d bounce once. ”

” Ah, definitely… at first… I think I thought that too… ”

” Uh… Really? ”

” Oh, that’s just what I thought at first. It’s not that I don’t like it…! ”

” Haha, that’s a good reaction. Judging from what you said, it looks like you followed my advice and just gave in to your emotions at the time. ”

” Yes, Yeonseo said that too. That was the best way… ”

” But that’s strange. Even if you give in to your emotions like Minhee said, I didn’t think it would continue this quickly. Did you eat something strange? ”

‘Did you eat something strange…? Come to think of it… back then…! ‘

” Ah… I think I drank that alcohol back then. What was it…? ”

” It was a craft beer made on Nodeul Island. ”

” Ah! That. Yeah. Hyunseok brought it, so I drank some. No, I was so nervous that I drank it all before I knew it. Hehe… ”

” Aha! So that’s what Charlotte was. She was drunk and couldn’t hide her feelings and showed her true feelings. Right? ”

” Hmm, maybe… I don’t know. But I don’t… regret it. Right now, it’s so good to be like this… ”

” Charlotte…! ”

” Whoa! Hey… Wait a minute, everyone’s watching…! ”

I was so embarrassed to show this side of myself in front of the two of them because Hyunseok was hugging me like that.

But the two of them smiled and said that they were a good bunch, and I laughed at their reaction.

While we were all eating together and chatting about this and that, Elina asked us with a serious expression.

” By the way, I heard from Dohee. You’re joining the raid team? ”

” Yes. I had to go to the Blue House anyway. ”

” I see. Then when do you plan on leaving? ”

” I’m planning to eat lunch before leaving. ”

Hyunseok answered Elina’s questions one by one, and I was caught by Minhee and was talking about the day that Hyunseok and I had together.

” Whee~ Charlotte. So you’re the kind of kid who pretends not to know but is bright? ”

” Oh, don’t say that… ”

” Okay~ Oh… This is a really good time. ”

While we were chatting over breakfast, we were suddenly called out by Dohee.

There was Yeonseo looking at the map with a serious expression.
