Sigh, swoosh.

Choi Do-hyun continued to rub his solar plexus as he walked next to Lim Chae-won.

Every time that happened, a feeling of guilt rose in Lim Chae-won’s heart.

‘Does it hurt a lot…? Well, it hurts even when I get hit, but I got hit there with my elbow… Ugh, so why did you make such a joke…!’

Obviously, the cause was Choi Do-hyun’s prank, but I couldn’t help but feel sorry for hurting the other person.

She was restless and kept glancing to the side, like a puppy whining after destroying the house while its owner was away.

“Sorry…”

“Yes?”

“Ah, no.. it looks like it hurts a lot… Do you want to hit me too..?”

Choi Do-hyeon, who chuckled at her words, opened his mouth again.

“That’s it. There is nowhere to hit.”

“Hey, you’re making fun of me because I’m short.”

“No.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s not really.”

“Okay….?”

When she was clearing up her doubts at his words.

“But, senior. Do you know that I am so jealous of my senior?”

“Huh?”

“If there is a fire, smoke comes out, right?”

“But?”

“Smoke rises upward, so you have to duck down.”

“So?”

Lim Chae-won tilted his head at the strange remark.

“So… my senior has a higher chance of survival than me. Envy you. Below.”

And at his continued words, she clenched both fists.

“Hey. Do you want to rummage?”

“Quukkeut…”

Choi Do-hyun burst into laughter at that reaction.

At his prank, which did not seem particularly angry, she also seemed at ease, even though she pretended to be angry.

The two continued walking down the road.

It wasn’t like anyone suggested we should walk together, but somehow it ended up that way.

It was cloudy today, so even though it was closer to summer, it wasn’t too hot.

That time when I was walking in front of a shopping mall.

The appetizing smell of hot dogs wafted through the air.

Lim Chae-won’s nose immediately caught the scent.

“..I want to eat a hot dog.”

“Would you like some?”

“Yes. I’ll buy it for you. Let’s go eat that.”

“Yes.”

He decided to follow her opinion. It was a welcome offer, as he always had a tight budget.

“What do you want to eat?”

“For me… just a basic hot dog.”

“Can I eat something more expensive?”

This was not an empty remark made out of politeness.

Anyway, for her, it was the basic hot dog or the expensive menu.

To Lim Chae-won, the difference of a few hundred won or a few thousand won was not that big.

“It’s okay.”

“Really? Then… I would like a mozzarella hot dog over there.”

After a while.

The clerk handed them two hot dogs, and they headed out again.

“..But where were you going?”

“Huh? Just take a walk. What about you?”

“Me too. Let’s wander around for 15 more minutes and then part ways.”

“Okay. It would be appropriate.”

Plop, plod.

The sound of two people’s footsteps added to the street full of various noises.

The weight of two people was added to the sidewalk block that was already full of people.

“Do you usually eat a lot of snacks?”

“Yes. I tend to do it a lot.”

“But why am I not gaining weight?”

“That’s because I usually exercise. Aren’t you the type of person who doesn’t gain weight easily?”

“That’s right. Oh right. Would you like to come here?”

“Why? What are you trying to do?”

She complied with his request and stood before him.

-wickedness

Choi Do-hyeon’s hand parted Lim Chae-won’s hair.

“Thank you for buying me a hot dog.”

“Hey.. I told you not to do this. This bastard is an enemy of grace…!”

Choi Do-hyeon’s large hand covered her small head.

The size was clearly different from her hand, and the warmth of a warm person was added to it.

Seeing him up close was definitely different from what I had felt before.

When I was exercising or something like that, I was less concerned, but when I faced him in this static state, I felt like my heart was tickling for no reason.

When a black shadow completely covered my head, I felt overwhelmed.

Thump, thump.

My heart starts beating much louder.

“What should I do with this cute thing?”

“Gwi, don’t even call me cute! I told you I hate that kind of thing…!”

“Was it like that..? I don’t really remember.”

She said in disgust.

However, Lim Chae-won was not aware of it.

Earlier, when he stroked her head at the concession stand.

He was showing a much harsher reaction than when he threw his hand away and reacted violently.

The fact that her heart was honestly speeding up.

“Why. Can I pet my cute senior just one more time?”

“Oh, no! Am I really angry?”

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it next time.”

“Yes..! I think I understand now.”

Of course, there was absolutely no will in Choi Do-hyeon’s mind to stop doing that.

The sight of him being disgusted was cute, and he also showed his resistance gradually weakening.

There was no reason to quit.

Choi Do-hyeon smiled at her once and started walking again.

Because his legs were longer than Lim Chae-won’s, he quickly moved away, and she had to run to catch up with him.

After a while, he slowed down his steps and they were able to walk together.

.

After breaking up with Choi Do-hyun.

She slowly headed home.

The meeting with him was floating around in my head.

Even when I was talking to Min Ji-seong, my heart was pounding somewhere.

However, it could not be compared to the pounding feeling of being stroked by Choi Do-hyun.

It was Choi Do-hyun who kept treating her like a child and repeatedly calling her cute.

Obviously, it’s normal to dislike it, and you’re reacting that way, but…

Gradually, I started to get confused.

Is it really true that I hate this?

Did you feel this way when you originally hated it?

When she returned home, she decided to take a shower first.

Take off your clothes one by one and put them in the basket.

When I looked in the mirror, my white and firm naked body caught my eye.

‘Ssi…’

And, in her mind, Jeong Ye-eun, who came last time with cookies, came to mind.

Suddenly, I looked down and saw two feet very clearly.

Her view would be obstructed by the bulge in the middle. However, Lim Chae-won’s own vision was very clear.

‘Well, I think I have prettier legs though…? ‘Maybe he has some belly fat because he doesn’t exercise?’

After comparing herself to Jeong Ye-eun in her head for a while, she sighed as if a sense of self-destruction struck her and started spraying water.

I thought it was so funny to spend so long in front of the mirror thinking about useless things.

‘Becoming a senior, I’m jealous of a kid who’s one year younger than me… What am I doing?’

One after another, the image of Choi Do-hyun smiling as she walked alongside her as if she was close to her came to mind.

‘I don’t know.’

She began washing her hair roughly as if trying to shake off distracting thoughts.

Water of the appropriate temperature flowed down, washing away the shampoo.

After taking a shower, she lay down on the bed feeling much refreshed.

…And, my thoughts about Choi Do-hyun haven’t gone away yet.

The good news is that he was able to stop thinking about Jeong Ye-eun.

-why. Can I pet my cute senior just one more time?

His deep voice came to mind.

Bang, bang!

The top of her foot hit the mattress of the bed hard.

‘Ugh… isn’t he embarrassed to say something like that…?’

The word cute and his touch were floating in her mind, and her mind showed no signs of calming down.

‘It seems okay…?’

Originally, she hated being loved or treated that way by others.

But, there was something… different about being loved by him.

It didn’t feel as bad as other people looking at her like that, but rather it made me feel excited.

‘Cute… hehe, other people see it that way too…’

Suddenly, it was her looking in the mirror.

‘I don’t know… Well, if he feels that way…’

I felt like I was starting to like my appearance, which I had never liked since I was born.

‘Next time… do you want to pet me again…?’

Right after I thought that.

-Paba room!

“Ugh! You must be crazy…!”

She buried her face in the pillow, screamed, and kicked the bed harder than before.

“This is for your senior, huh? Just say it’s cute. He’s a year younger than me… He just said that to a woman. I was petting him even though I didn’t ask for permission. Even though he has a handsome face and a nice voice to listen to, you can’t just believe that and act like that…!”

Perhaps to hide the thoughts she heard at the moment, she poured out words like a rapid fire even though no one was listening.

After spitting out a single word, she immediately lay down looking at the ceiling.

I hugged a pillow with both arms and hit the bed with my heels a few times for no reason.

If a third spectator saw the scene,

-You finally came to your senses..?

It was an appearance that made the words come out spontaneously.

However, she was the only one in the house anyway.

There was no one to notice, so it was okay to just focus on letting out your emotions.

‘Should I contact you…?’

When we joined the club, we exchanged all our contact information.

‘No, what did I say?’

At best, he’s just a senior in the club, so why would he contact me?

If we could become closer… I don’t know.
