episode_0042

First, I decided to leave Jiwon and Jijon alone.

I don’t know why I’m following them.

Originally, I was going to tell them to just talk and leave myself.

Somehow, I found myself listening to their conversation by their side.

And why is the brat here?

As I contemplated interrupting their girl talk and wanting to escape immediately, all I could think of was getting out of there.

Why should I get involved in this conversation?

“So, in the next episode, are you leaving Yas?”

“Probably… it wouldn’t work because of the story.”

The topic of the conversation was vulgar gossip.

Why talk about this in a public park where everyone can hear?

Even though I wanted to suggest changing the subject right away, I didn’t know anything about these two, so I decided to stay quiet in the end.

While listening to their conversation for a while…

“So, why have you been pretending to be a guy all this time?”

Finally, the topic seemed to shift.

Jiwon looked slightly flustered but said, “I… just did it for fun. There aren’t many girls in that game, so I thought pretending to be a guy would help me fit in.”

Although it was a strange reason, since it wasn’t entirely implausible, I decided to stay silent.

Then Jijon nodded in understanding and said, “I see.”

After that, Jiwon and Jijon chatted some more.

“I have to go back now. Let’s meet up again next time and have some real fun.”

Saying that, Jijon bid me farewell.

I nodded in return, and as Jijon held Jiwon’s hand, he said, “Next time, it’ll just be the two of us having fun~ See you later~”

With those words, Jijon said goodbye and left.

Watching Jijon walk away, Jiwon breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been anxious.

“That was so scary.”

Jiwon said it was scary and then grabbed my hand.

“Was there anything weird about what I said today?”

I replied that there was nothing strange.

I patted Jiwon on the head and suggested we go back home.

Jiwon blushed slightly and nodded.

After everything was over, we returned home.

When we got back, Jiwon said she was tired and went into her room.

Feeling exhausted myself, I didn’t say anything and went straight to my room to sleep.

Today has been… quite tiring.

**

Waking up from sleep, I found Jiwon staring at me intently.

Why is she looking at me like that?

I was about to ask her why she was doing that when she said, “Hey, what are you doing?”

Surprised by my question, she replied, “Oh… I came to see what you were up to because it was too quiet.”

I looked at her and realized that was the reason.

Thinking so, I told her, “If you’ve checked everything, now leave.”

I was already exhausted, so why was she bothering me like this?

In an annoyed tone, I told her to leave, and she immediately got up.

My head was hurting, and I just wanted to wash my face and go to the bathroom.

“Hey! Where are you going?”

Jiwon started to prevent me from going to the bathroom.

Why is she doing this? After thinking for a while, I ignored her and tried to enter the bathroom.

She came closer and hugged me, pleading, “Please… don’t go.”

Why is she suddenly acting like this?

At first, I was confused.

Why is she stopping me from going to the bathroom all of a sudden?

First Section:

I wanted to go first, is that why? That thought crossed my mind.

In response to Jiwon’s actions, I thought there must be some reason behind it.

I lifted my smartphone as it was and turned on the camera app in selfie mode.

And there it was.

The poop drawing on my cheek and Dooly sticking out his tongue.

“Hey hey. Don’t run away, come here.”

I grabbed Jiwon right away and spoke.

Let’s ask if you know about this drawing.

“Hahaha.. I don’t really know~ Ah.. I’m so tired today from going out. I’ll go to bed now.”

Saying that, in a leisurely manner trying to leave,

I held onto Jiwon and got angry.

Today has been really stressful…

After nagging for a while, I scribbled on Jiwon’s face.

“I’m really sorry. Want to let off some steam?”

Is this the attitude of someone apologizing?

It was hard to erase since it was written with a ballpoint pen, showing such a shameless behavior was truly unbelievable.

Enough… And now I see it’s almost time to eat dinner.

Should I grab a bite before coming back? I thought about going outside but.

“Where are you going?”

Jiwon looked at me and asked where I was going.

Although I wanted to snap back, seeing their gloomy face and repentant look, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything like that.

“Sigh… I’m going to eat, come with me.”

Saying that, I told Jiwon to come along.

Jiwon smiled brightly and quickly changed clothes.

With Jiwon all dressed up, we went outside.

As we were looking for a place to eat,

I asked Jiwon what they wanted to eat.

“I eat everything, I’m an omnivore.”

They started saying such a ridiculous thing as “anything.”

It made it even harder to choose a menu… Saying the most annoying thing in the world.

While looking at the menu on my phone,

“Do you want to have shabu-shabu?”

I asked Jiwon if they wanted to have shabu-shabu.

Jiwon blinked at the mention of shabu-shabu.

“Why, is this your first time having shabu-shabu?”

Jiwon nodded.

Is this for real…? Did I never buy it for them?

I used to eat it often before, but not so much now.

So I suggested having shabu-shabu with Jiwon and headed to the restaurant.

**

A teddy bear caught my eye.

I was about to buy that teddy bear as it is and give it, but I still couldn’t forgive the act of doodling on my face from today.

Isn’t it okay for me to play a little prank too?

Thinking that way, I cautiously spoke into the teddy bear with a recording function and went to hand it over to Jiwon.

**

“Hey, Kim Ji-won, I picked this up for you.”

“Where on earth do you find stuff like this?”

After telling Ji-won that I picked it up for her and handing her the teddy bear, she asked where I found it.

Since she didn’t seem to dislike it, I just told her to take it.

Jiwon looked at the teddy bear and started hugging it right away.

“Did you buy this because of me?”

Jiwon asked me if I bought the teddy bear because of her with a smile.

“No, I really picked it up.”

I said I picked it up.

She simply said “Okay” to my words and hugged the teddy bear tightly.

Then I mentioned that the teddy bear had a recording function.

Jiwon asked if I had recorded something in it.

I nodded slightly.

Upon that, Jiwon excitedly found the button on the teddy bear and pressed it.

[“Do you want to die? Do you want to die?”]

My pre-recorded voice echoed from the teddy bear.

Seeing that, she snorted and burst out laughing.

I intended to tease her a bit, but she slowly approached me.

Thwack–!

“Cough!!”

She began hitting my abdomen.

It seems like she’s quite angry…
