As time passed, we naturally did not bring up that incident again.

    The time when Shin Yu-jin was held in my arms due to trauma and I held her hand.

    It’s not to the point of saying it’s a dark story, but when I say it, I feel embarrassed because it reminds me of the moment when we were serious with each other.

    Aside from this, there is one more thing that catches me off guard.

    “Hey, why aren’t we dating yet?”

    This is Kim Ye-rim and Ho-jin’s incredibly evil actions.

    Since it’s been a month since they got to know each other a little more and said they were dating, maybe the evil things these two are doing are natural.

    Still, I didn’t know that we would ask questions like that every time we took the same class or did something together.

    For reference, it is said that Shin Yu-jin is also being asked the same questions by Kim Ye-rim.

    “I told you. I want to know more about each other.”

    “A month has passed since I said that. How long are you going to know?”

    I’m sure I could have gotten over the situation by saying this just a month ago, but now there’s no way around it.

    Kim Ye-rim and Ho-jin, as well, seem to be a couple as they try to get along in any way possible.

    We got along so well that even after marriage, we looked the same as we do now.

    “He even slept with you at your house.”

    “ He slept, but he really only slept. Because Eugene gets lonely being alone.”

    “… Are you, by any chance, a eunuch?”

    Now I’m living and living and saying crazy things.

    From their point of view, they slept in the same house with each other feeling good about each other, but nothing happened.

    You might think it’s strange.

    No, but isn’t being a eunuch a bit of a problem?

    “What are you saying, you crazy bastard?”

    “Honestly, I have no choice but to have reasonable doubt.”

    As I was walking out of the classroom, ignoring Hojin who was saying strange things, I bumped into Shin Yujin again today.

    Of course, next to Shin Yujin was Kim Yerim.

    Sure enough, as soon as this damn couple saw each other, they rushed over and hugged each other.

    Maybe it’s because I saw him like this while he was single, I want to make a hedgehog out of a bamboo spear.

    “Oppa!! I had a lecture this afternoon, but it was canceled.”

    “Really? My brother doesn’t have an afternoon lecture either.”

    “Huh?! Then, I want to go to my brother’s house and have lunch.”

    “Is that so? Oppa will cook you something delicious.”

    “And… ”

    Kim Ye-rim hesitated for a moment and then whispered something in Ho-jin’s ear.

    Ho-jin, who heard the whisper, smiled sinisterly and kissed Ye-rim Kim on the cheek. Even if I didn’t hear what was whispered, I felt like I knew what was being said.

    Damn couple bastards.

    “Then we will go. You two have a good time.”

    “Oppa, maybe that’s the case? They’re already dating, but they’re keeping it a secret from us.”

    “Oh, that could be so.”

    “No, brother. We’re not really dating yet.”

    “Hmm, when on earth are these two going to date?”

    “That’s right. I hope we date soon.”

    I’m sorry, but you couples will never get the picture you want. Even if there are two sides to the sky.

    “Couples should go out together.”

    “I pity you who don’t know the happiness of a couple.”

    Kim Ye-rim left those words and the two slowly disappeared from our sight.

    Kim Ye-rim’s last words were really.

    If I had been a little closer to Kim Ye-rim, I would have put a dangsu on the top of my head and made two copies.

    It was a moment when I realized how evil Kim Ye-rim was.

    “Ah, the couples are gone now.”

    “He’s really my friend, but I’m so tired of having a good night.”

    Shin Yu-jin was seen clenching his fists as he said that.

    This is a behavior and way of speaking that you will never see from the 20-year-old Shin Yujin. So it feels more disconnected and unfamiliar.

    “What are you doing now?”

    “I went to work on the same schedule as Yerim, so I also have nothing to do in the afternoon.”

    “I also don’t have classes in the afternoon because I’m with Hojin.”

    “Let’s just go home. There’s nothing to do.”

    “Yes. I guess I should go and have lunch.”

    “Don’t eat ramen.”

    “It’s annoying to make and eat.”

    After a short conversation, I parted ways with Shin Yujin.

    I came into town to buy a book to read before going home.

    Even though it was 14 years ago, it was quite new as I didn’t travel around the city much.

    Although most of the items had an old-fashioned feel, there was something to see since it was my first time wandering around the city alone.

    As I was walking through the city, I came across a fancy store selling various things, including dolls.

    Among the numerous types of products, this one particularly caught my eye.

    It was a small keyring panda doll holding a bamboo stick in its arms.

    The reason it caught my attention is simple. It was Shin Yu-jin’s favorite doll when she was a college student.

    Shin Yu-jin said that it was a character, so she bought it in various sizes and designs and decorated it in her room.

    “Eujin, do you like that doll?”

    “Yes!! It’s my favorite doll.”

    “Then, should I buy you one?”

    “Uh, really?!”

    “Yes, our Eugene likes it. Of course I should buy it.”

    “Thank you, oppa!!”

    Come to think of it, something like that happened. Every time I see a panda doll, I think of Shin Yujin, so I buy it and give it as a gift.

    Thanks to this, Shin Yu-jin’s room was filled with more panda dolls than usual.

    I’m about to stop reminiscing and go home…

    “What is this?”

    For some reason, the keyring panda doll I had just seen was held in my hand.

    Obviously, I don’t remember paying the bills or picking up this panda doll.

    Still, why on earth do I have this panda doll in my hand?

    I thought I couldn’t do anything more since it was already in my hands, so I returned home with the panda doll.

    Just as I was about to cook ramen and eat it.

    -Dang!! Dang!! Dang!! Tiriring!!

    Suddenly, the sound of the door lock being opened was heard.

    I was embarrassed because no one knew the door lock password, but Shin Yu-jin opened the front door and came in.

    “Hey. Don’t you know the doorbell?”

    “I know the password, so why bother ringing the doorbell?”

    “I thought you were a thief.”

    “Even if a thief comes, I will curse and leave, saying I have nothing to steal.”

    “Why did you come?”

    “I came to bring you lunch.”

    After listening to Shin Yujin, the envelope in his hand caught my eye.

    I wonder what kind of wind was blowing that made him suddenly come to my house and say he would make lunch for me.

    “Did you eat the wrong breakfast?”

    “What does this guy talk like? Don’t you think about the person who takes care of you?”

    “They suddenly break into the house and say they will make lunch for you. Who doesn’t react like this?”

    “Oh, is that so? I was going to make you your favorite tteokgalbi, but I guess I should just go home.”

    “Sorry. I, a humble person, did not know Shin Yu-jin’s meaning.”

    If it’s not enough that it’s a dish that Shin Yu-jin makes herself, then my favorite menu item is tteokgalbi.

    There is no reason to refuse.

    “I didn’t think about the people who came to volunteer for the elderly living alone.”

    “So you said you were sorry. But I didn’t know you would take care of me this much.”

    “There’s something really strange about this. I’m sure there are only bad feelings, right? But still, I’m worried for no reason.”

    “Do you like me?”

    “Fuck. Don’t cross the line.”

    The moment I heard the first swear word I heard, I put aside any thoughts of what might have been.

    Over the past 14 years, I’ve heard Shin Yu-jin swear that he’s the best, but I never thought I’d hear it now.

    “Seriously, if you say something like that one more time, nothing will be given to you.”

    “Yes, I understand. I made a mistake.”

    “Sit down. Because I’m going to make it right away.”

    “Call me if you need to.”

    “Because I’m not so bad at cooking that I need help from a cook.”

    “… Just today, I was called a eunuch twice.”

    “En? I heard it from someone. Hojin oppa?”

    After class, I told Shin Yujin everything that happened in the classroom.

    Shin Yu-jin, who heard the whole story…

    “Puhahaha!! That’s so funny!!”

    He started laughing so loudly that the house rang.

    “Well, in Hojin’s eyes, you probably look like a eunuch.”

    “I just listened to that three times. Sit arms.”

    “It’s okay. Because I confirmed that she is not a eunuch.”

    “Huh? When did you?”

    “Don’t you remember? A month ago.”

    “… You crazy bitch!!”

    “Well, that’s right. Standing upright.”

    Without realizing it, I wrapped my groin with both hands and glared at Shin Yujin strongly.

    I don’t know anything else, but I’ve never seen Shin Yu-jin drip like this before, so I’m just embarrassed.

    In the data accumulated over 14 years, there was no Shin Yujin like this.

    “Rather, don’t you like me?”

    “I will say the same thing you just said. Don’t cross the line.”

    “Oh, sorry. Even if I saw what you just bet, you crossed the line.”

    “Give me food. Buck, buck.”

    “Are you crazy? wait. Because I’m going to make it now.”

    After exchanging a somewhat interesting conversation, Shin Yujin went to the kitchen and started making lunch.

    I’m sure he came to my house and made lunch like this many times, but it feels like something is different from those many memories.

    Even if a similar picture is being drawn as it was 14 years ago.

    It doesn’t seem to change that it’s not the same as it was then.
