Umm… .

As expected, my concentration wasn’t as good as I thought.

Unless I’m doodling or drawing as a hobby, I usually have a hard time concentrating on my drawing work, but the slight cackle sound I hear from outside still bothers me.

Suddenly, I thought it would have been nice to have Yoo Seol next to me.

I think the moment I drew with her was the moment I concentrated the most on drawing in my life.

Aren’t studying and exercise the same?

Because you can usually get better results by doing something together than by doing it alone.

… Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d like to contact my first painting friend.

I last saw you on Wednesday, and only two days have passed.

I feel like I haven’t met my club members for a long time.

I said it was only two days, but in reality, I spent two days with a packed sports day event… Is it natural to feel that way?

I put down my pen and picked up my phone.

[what are you doing]

I feel like I’m young, but… Still, since he was my senior, I always treated him with respect.

hmm. The space was entered by mistake.

[I’m working on goods. What do you do?]

Perhaps by coincidence, it seems that Yoo Seol was doing the same thing as me.

I felt like I had a friend, which put a smile on my face.

[me too]

[Why are you sending the message like that? And I’m a senior?]

[all right]

“Kkkk… .”

Was it like this originally?

It was a rumor that was somewhat fun to tease.

It was only for a moment, but I was about to pick up the pen again, thinking it was a good refreshing time.

The phone vibrated violently.

“Ike.”

It was a call from Yoo Seol.

I carefully picked up the phone and put it to my ear.

“Keuhum. Hello.”

[Our junior. It’s fun to make fun of your senior, isn’t it?]

It was a voice of speculation quietly arguing.

Still, rather than being angry, I was glad that it felt like something went well in a boring car.

“Me? No way.”

[joy. What happened? So, how far did you go?]

I held the phone against my shoulder and continued the call while drawing.

Even though I was drawing while on the phone, it seemed easier than before when I was working alone in a quiet house.

“I’m only leaving the last illustration.”

[really? I thought you would have already finished everything. I am similar. Last one.]

Unlike me, he drew the picture stitch by stitch, so even though the amount of work was less than mine, it seemed like he wasn’t finished yet.

“I was tired from sports day, and I got hurt yesterday so I didn’t have time to draw.”

After hearing what I said, Yoo Seol said in a voice that made me miss it.

[…] ah! That’s right, I said you were hurt! how is it? Are your legs okay? Do you think it will get better soon?]

“You should try to get better soon.”

[Yes. … … Hmm~ How are you? Would you like me and your sister to visit the hospital? Boys like that, right?]

Yu Seol made a strangely playful voice and laughed.

… I’m not sure what he’s thinking, but visiting the hospital is a no-go here.

“No. I will decline.”

[tooth. what. Is it really possible to reject it so sharply?]

… There are already four people at home.

Well, I didn’t think there was any need to tell him that information, so I changed the topic.

“Anyway, cheer up. I have to finish it within today or tomorrow so I can meet the schedule?”

[That’s right. Cheer up too. It hurts, so don’t push yourself too hard.]

“… It’s just a little broken so it’s okay. At least about drawing.”

[Does a slightly sprained child go to the hospital? Well, that’s enough. Then I’ll hang up.]

“Okay… Yo.”

[You keep doing that… … ]

Pop.

“He’s a fun senior.”

In some ways, it seems like she has a similar personality to the lively Hong Yeon-seo, but the fun-loving aspect is also similar to Seong Yu-rin.

I don’t know for sure, but it was an image of me clutching the disconnected phone and crying.

After a while. I received a message from Yoo Seol, but I didn’t bother to open it because I had a vague idea of what it was about.

“Keuung─cha.“

After gathering all my strength and stretching my body, I started working again.

As if the brief distraction helped, the pen continued to paint the screen without hesitation.

My leg needs to heal quickly, so I should finish it quickly and rest.

* * *

“Ah. It’s hot.”

I had been running the computer in my room with the door closed for quite some time, and when I noticed it, it was so hot that I was sweating.

As it is not strange to call it early summer, I think it is time to clean the air conditioner that I have been putting off.

Now that it is a little cooler, you need to do this in advance so you can cope with the weather suddenly getting warmer.

With only the finishing touches left, I got up from my chair and headed to the tightly closed door.

Still, it seemed like a couple of hours had passed, and although I had no idea what fun things they were doing outside, I was surprised that they hadn’t called me once.

Are you watching a movie or something?

“What are you all doing?”

When I opened the door leading to the living room, the cool air from the living room blew in and I felt the warm air of the room again.

I was in such a hot place.

What greeted me as I came out of the room was Se-ah Lee, who was using a massage chair in the living room.

“Oh. Have you finished everything you were doing?”

“I left a little bit, but it was hot inside. I’m just going to rest and finish at night when you guys go and sleep.”

After answering that and looking around the living room, I felt suspicious that only Ise-ah was there.

“But, did all the other kids go?”

“Huh? no. I’m resting in my room until you come out.“

“Aha.“

Se-ah Lee, who saw me walking out, got up from the massage chair and approached me.

“I will help you.”

“It’s okay… .”

Se-ah Lee spoke firmly and approached me in response to my attitude.

“If you keep walking on those sore feet, it will get worse. I have crutches, so why don’t I use them?”

“That… … .”

Well, because it’s annoying.

“I need to get better quickly. Huh?”

“… Okay.”

At that time, Seong Yu-rin walked out of the master bedroom, probably because she heard a commotion in the living room.

“It came out. hungry? Toilet?”

“… No, it’s just a little hot.”

“Yes. If you need anything, let me know.”

Hey, I am the owner of this house… .

It was strange because I felt like I was a guest.

“Are the other two taking a nap?”

I asked because I was surprised that only Seong Yu-rin came out of the master bedroom.

“Ah. that… Yes.”

Seong Yu-rin’s gaze slowly turned to the door.

There are three rooms in our house, excluding the bathroom.

My room closest to the entrance.

And inside the house past the living room, was the master bedroom that my parents used.

And a small, unoccupied room across from the master bedroom.

As you know, I was the only child in my house, so even though there were three rooms, only two of us were using them.

No, I’m only using one now. Anyway.

So, there are appliances that are not used in that small room… For example, it was being used as a warehouse to store seasonal fans.

If you open the veranda and go out, there is another small storage room in the corner, but the small room is close and comfortable.

The reason I’m suddenly telling this story is…

This is because the place where Seong Yu-rin’s eyes were focused was on the small room being used as a warehouse.

“What is it? You sleep over there? Why leave a perfectly fine master bedroom? It must be dirty because I don’t clean it often.”

“Ah, um. That’s it. Jinah.”

Se-ah Lee spoke from the side.

“We did some cleaning in that room. lol… .“

“Really? Just rest, what did you do to be so tired?”

“Ah… haha. Joe, do you want to be of some help?”

… … But why are you talking like this?

I’m sure they don’t think I’m a bad person for scolding me for cleaning.

If that’s the case, I can’t help but feel hurt.

Hmm. Is there anyone else who is kind and kind like me?

Anyway, I just noticed it now.

There was a fragrant scent that I had smelled for the first time in the living room.

“Huh?”

“Why?”

“No, something. It smells good.”

“… ah! This is it. how is it? Do you like the smell?”

On the table next to the TV, there was something that looked like a straw stuck in an invisible glass bottle.

“Is it an air freshener?”

All I saw was a little bit of spraying.

There is also something like this.

“Yes. While shopping before coming, we all made our choices together, thinking about you. How about it?“

“It’s good. Will this last long?”

“Thank goodness. Since it vaporizes little by little, it will last for a very long time.”

Ohh. It’s fascinating… .

Intoxicated by the scent of newspapers, I sat on the living room sofa, led by Lee Se-ah and Seong Yu-rin.

“Anyway, thank you. They come to visit me and buy me gifts.”

“What. Between us.”

… okay. Between us.

I feel it now, but now I know that those words had a lot of meaning.

In the past, I thought it was simply something that was said between friends.

“Want to watch a movie?”

“Then. I’ll just watch a movie, wake the kids up, and have dinner.”

“… me. There is a movie I want to see.”

Seong Yu-rin, who was still, quietly but clearly expressed her opinion.

“Then, why don’t you look at that.”

… … … As a side note, the movie Seong Yu-rin chose was a theatrical version of a children’s animation.

I knew you liked cute things, but this is your taste.
