    A Date That’s Not a Date (3

    A Date That’s Not a Date (3)

    “Welcome.”

    “I came to look at some underwear, do you happen to know where the D-cup sizes are…?”

    “Ah, please come this way. I’ll guide you.”

    Third floor, a women’s clothing store named M.CAT.

    Arriving at the huge women’s clothing store that takes up half of the third floor, I feel a strange sensation.

    It’s not just because I’m not a woman, but the fact that I’m even here…

    ‘If I said I came along to buy my sister’s clothes, they’d probably look at me weird.’

    I should just be grateful that the employees aren’t talking to me.

    If even one person spoke to me, it would be hard to act confidently.

    More than being embarrassed, it’s hard to explain?

    It’s hard for me to confidently make up a lie that I’m her boyfriend and came with her because she said she was buying clothes.

    Since we’re not exactly in a confident relationship to begin with, no, we are in a confident relationship but we’ve formed an unconfident bond.

    I feel anew that the distance with Ji-hye is both close and far.

    Looking at her browsing around the underwear section, she looks exactly like a young girl.

    I can feel her energy even from afar, I wonder how fun it is for her.

    Of course, I’m not having any fun for even a minute or second here. I’m just standing here because I have to pay for the meal.

    “Can I try this on for a moment?”

    “Of course, please use the fitting room over there.”

    I hear the conversation with the employee. You can try on underwear too?

    You can try on men’s underwear too, but I feel like it’s a bit of a different feeling.

    While she’s in the fitting room, I briefly looked around at the clothes nearby.

    The store employees are walking around and checking things, but they didn’t pay attention to me.

    The embarrassment of a man being here, they must know it well and it’s the minimum of manners to turn a blind eye?

    Thanks to that, I was able to look around without much hesitation. It feels new that there are so many clothes, and I’m reminded of Ji-hye’s clothes, who occasionally gives me pocket money.

    ‘…Instead of occasionally throwing me 50,000 or 100,000 won, she should buy her own clothes.’

    It’s new. A bum who has been earning money on his own, receiving pocket money, or getting money from his sister suddenly worries about his sister’s clothes?

    If she heard it, she’d tell me to stop talking bullshit and curse at me, but it’s over as long as I don’t say it.

    Even if I can’t buy her clothes right now, there will be an opportunity to buy her clothes… I’ll gift her an outfit then.

    “Oh my, it suits you so well, customer-nim. But… the size seems a little small, would you like me to get you one size bigger?”

    “Hmm… Would you? It does feel too small…”

    Can you wear a bigger size for women’s underwear too? The conversation with the employee tickles my ears.

    Clothes have sizes, but if you increase the size of women’s underwear by one size, doesn’t that increase the cup size?

    Then E? What, what did she do to get bigger. What is Ji-hye eating?

    “Excuse me, but if women’s underwear gets one size bigger, does that mean the cup gets bigger?”

    Unable to withstand my curiosity, I asked the employee next to me, and the employee laughs.

    She laughed as if she were looking at a young boy, and cleared her throat for a moment.

    “Ahem, ahem. No, women’s underwear also has sizes, and we’re giving you one that’s a little bigger than that size.”

    Listening to her, it was no different from clothes. What, so it’s just clothes.

    Ah, underwear is also clothes. Thinking about it simply, it’s really simple.

    She’s just saying that the underwear she’s wearing now is too small and doesn’t fit, so please give her a bigger one.

    ‘Is there a reason to get bigger?’

    What, didn’t they say the clothes were small or anything?

    Usually, if clothes are small or large, the employee tells you that this outfit is a little big or small.

    It’s a pretty important factor that they even tell you at men’s clothing stores.

    Even if you don’t think it’s a big deal, how important is it to know the slight difference instead of fitting exactly into 260mm?

    Even if you use shoes as an example, the perceived difference between 270mm being a little big or small is significant.

    Women’s underwear is a more cautious matter, so it’s hard to say she doesn’t know that. She might have forgotten.

    [Shibal, it’s because you fondled my breasts at night that they’re swollen.]

    Looking at the KakaoTalk that suddenly rang, Ji-hye suddenly gets angry.

    [Why are you blaming me here? I only sucked on them.]

    [That’s why they’re swollen! That’s why the size doesn’t fit now, so I asked for one size bigger.]

    [What’s your usual size?]

    [70D, I asked for 75E now.]

    [You’re bigger than I thought]

    I sent her a picture of an angry expression instead of a photo, and she flinched slightly.

    Why does she keep blaming me, she allowed it too.

    But this isn’t because I hate it, but something…

    ‘Is she trying to cover up her embarrassment?’

    There’s that kind of thing. That kind of thing.

    When I was young, when I was teased that I was hanging out with girls, I would get angry at the girl for no reason to cover it up.

    It feels strangely like that. It’s a problem that I get annoyed even though I know it.

    [Isn’t it a benefit since they got bigger thanks to me?]

    [I’m already having a hard time finding underwear, why don’t you just tell me to buy it overseas?]

    [Sounds good, let’s buy it overseas.]

    [I hope you fucking die.]

    The finishing photo is a picture of her raising her middle finger, ah, the usual Ji-hye.

    I can’t put the clothes on her, so I sat down on a chair in the corner.

    It’s a corner of the store, but the traffic is okay and it’s a place visible from anywhere in the store.

    The more I look around, the more it seems like a place made for men to rest here.

    If you go somewhere else for no reason, you’ll get scolded, so if you rest here, women won’t worry because they can see you well!

    That’s what my head is telling me so clearly. Otherwise, there’s no reason for a chair to be in this location.

    ‘Still, it’s good that there’s a chair…’

    I spend time surfing the internet on my phone.

    I look around the humor bulletin board and the game gallery to pass the time, but KakaoTalk keeps ringing.

    [Hey]

    [Heyheyheyhey]

    [Heyheyheyhey answer me]

    [Hey, are you looking at something weird again]

    It’s Ji-hye. Why does she keep calling me while she’s wearing underwear?

    [Why do you keep calling me.]

    [Just a moment]

    She says just a moment and then there’s no word.

    Did she get a call or something? Or what, did she just call me because she’s bored while changing clothes?

    I can’t try them on for her, what more can I do here!

    [Which one is the best?]

    Ah, shibal, you scared me.

    I was just staring blankly, and suddenly she sends me three shots of her wearing underwear.

    Each one is different.

    I wondered if that much time had passed. Doesn’t it take a while to put on underwear?

    ‘The first one… is completely black.’

    A completely black bra with a little lace.

    It’s so completely black that Ji-hye’s skin looks white.

    It wasn’t bad. The only thing I’m a little disappointed about is that the color is too dark, so the arousal is only medium.

    Thinking from the perspective of what I want to see, this is a no-go. Yeah.

    ‘The second one, reddish-brown? Or is it wine-colored?’

    The last one was just a picture taken in the mirror, but this one was taken from above, showing her cleavage.

    Hmm, cleavage is the truth after all. No, shibal, this isn’t the time for this. Let’s look at the underwear, the underwear.

    ‘This isn’t that good either? This one is too plain.’

    If the first one is flashy but the color is not good, this one has a good color but is plain.

    It’s the first time I’ve seen one with no patterns or lace at all. Just fabric?

    It’s a design that could be called a breast cover. It’s really plain, but it’s not pretty.

    ‘The third one… what is this?’

    Warmmaemmae, I can’t help but say shibal.

    Is this even underwear? You can see everything.

    You might say what nonsense am I talking about after seeing everything so far, but this…

    ‘Is this perhaps, that so-called, victory underwear?’

    It’s a bra with nipples openly visible and lace dangling all over it.

    Also, looking at the smiling face deliberately sticking out her tongue, she’s trying to tease me.

    How is it wearing something like this? That kind of feeling?

    ‘Then I can’t lose either.’

    [Hey, the third one is good, buy the third one. So hot.]

    [I already bought something else? Don’t talk nonsense and wait quietly.]

    [What are you trying to buy again? Is there more to buy?]

    [Of course, I’m buying a swimsuit, you know? You should go buy one now too]

    Ah, the weekend…

    I thought she canceled it, but she’s going to send me anyway.

    Seeing her going this far, it seems meaningless to refuse any further.

    She knows I hate it, but if it’s a secret mission, it means she’ll definitely send me, she knows my temper better than I do.

    Because there’s a saying that others know your temper better than you do.

    Even if I say I’m like this? It could be that it’s not when others see it.

    [I’m going to the upper floor. Then, you’ll buy it yourself, right?]

    [I’m looking at the designs now, so don’t worry]

    Looking up and around, I can see her talking to an employee and taking out clothes.

    Is that the swimsuit section? What kind of swimsuit is she going to wear, is she going to take a picture and show me this time too?

    ‘Swimsuits are supposed to be bikinis.’

    Ah, of course, that’s just my opinion. I didn’t know that this thought would change a little later.

    “Thank you!”

    After buying a swimsuit on the 4th floor, I went down on the escalator.

    Buying clothes as a man is like, if I feel like this is it! Then I buy it.

    10 minutes to look around, 10 minutes to try it on and look at the design.

    I bought a pair of shorts-type swim trunks in 20 minutes and went down, and she’s still choosing.

    “Still choosing?”

    “Ah, shibal, you scared me. Can’t you please make some noise when you come?”

    When I asked from behind, she was startled and looked at me slightly.

    Then she started choosing clothes again. No, in my opinion, they’re all the same, what is she choosing so much.

    There were quite a lot of types of swimsuits.

    Starting with bikinis, there were also swimsuits with designs that looked like they were wrapped in cloth.

    There were so many swimsuits that filled one side, I don’t think men’s swimsuits were like this.

    “This, this, this… hmm… is it a bit like that.”

    Ji-hye mutters and takes out a swimsuit.

    Peeking from behind, it’s more ordinary than I thought.

    If you’re going to expose, then expose, and if you’re not going to, then don’t, she’s really trying to miss both.

    “Bikini.”

    “What?”

    I’m telling you seriously, Ji-hye-yang. Women are bikinis.

    Based on what? I’m saying this as one man. That’s what I mean.

    When I told her confidently, she answers with a flustered expression.

    “You want me to wear a bikini to the swimming pool? Are you crazy?”

    “Is there a law that says you can’t wear a bikini to the swimming pool?”

    “No, who am I supposed to show off to at the swimming pool that I should wear a bikini?”

    “Huh? Weren’t you going to show it to me?”

    She answers very confidently with her middle finger.

    You’re not going to show it to me? That’s a bit shocking in its own way.

    Then I need to find out who she’s going to show it to instead.

    “If you’re not going to show it to me, who are you going to show it to, do you have a hidden boyfriend or something?”

    “Are you indirectly saying you want to get hit?”

    She glares at me with a face full of annoyance.

    Her voice is still calm. Her expression tells me that she’s a little annoyed.

    I haven’t heard the answer yet.

    I scratched my chin and answered her.

    “Hitting or whatever, if you’re not going to show it to me, is there even a reason for me to live with you?”

    “That… that’s true.”

    “Then I’m going to leave.”

    “What?”

    “No, it’s true, you said you’re not buying it to show me, right? Then it’s more tiring to live together, you buy it and come. I’ll have a coffee or something on the first floor.”

    As I turned around nonchalantly, I felt her grab my wrist right away.

    “…You shibal bastard… you’re doing this knowing, right…?”

    With a flushed face, she grabs my wrist and doesn’t think about letting go.

    I can feel her gripping it so hard that my wrist is a little sore.

    It’s rare for Ji-hye’s grip to hurt, I usually just wonder what she’s doing, but this one wasn’t like that.

    Her flushed face and the flushed hand giving strength go very well together. Yeah, I’ll only know if you say it with your own mouth.

    “What do I know, let go. Let me go have a cup of coffee.”

    “…I’m buying it to show you, you son of a bitch…”

    I can feel the trembling in her wrist. Judging from the trembling in her voice, she’s speaking through gritted teeth.

    Yeah, I can only enjoy living together if you say it like this, right?

    It’s good to look at to eat, and it’s a chore to ask me to look at clothes that aren’t pretty.

    Ah, of course, Ji-hye isn’t ugly. That’s for sure.

    But at this point where we’ve seen everything, it’s impossible to appeal with just her face.

    “Then you should say it honestly, why are you lying?”

    “You want me to say everything here… and be embarrassed? Do you really want to die?”

    She trembles and raises her fist, but I replace my answer with a chuckle.

    If I’m going to see it anyway, I want to see a pretty swimsuit too, or a sexy swimsuit.

    “I like bikinis, or those one-piece swimsuits are pretty too.”

    “…Wait a little. I’ll choose something appropriate and try it on.”

    After hesitating for a moment, she started choosing a swimsuit again, so I sat down on a nearby chair and watched.

    Her expression was so serious that I felt a little sorry, but I had one thing clearly written in my head.

    ‘Swimsuits have to be either pretty or sexy.’

    Is that the kind of thought a beast would have?

    So what, I’m a beast. It’s not a sin for a beast to think like a beast.
