“You look better than yesterday. Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah, I feel really refreshed today. I woke up earlier than usual and didn’t feel like going back to bed.”

“Huh, you must have slept like a log. How boring was the drama I recommended if you slept that soundly?”

“…Sorry, I couldn’t help but fall asleep once I lay down on the bed. I tried to resist, but it didn’t work out as I wanted.”

After a tiring and boring day passed, we welcomed the early evening feeling refreshed.

Enjoying a light dinner, Hyuk and I engaged in lively conversation unlike yesterday.

“When you rest, you should rest. Oh, by the way… did you wake up in the middle of the night?”

“Why? Did I do something weird again?”

“No, it’s fine if you didn’t wake up.”

“…It makes me anxious when you say that.”

Did I wake up when we kissed goodnight?

I threw the question with worry, but judging by his bewildered reaction, it seemed like he didn’t wake up after all.

I inwardly sighed in relief and then asked Hyuk about our plans after dinner.

“You seem energetic today, so going out should be fine. How about we go to the city as you suggested yesterday?”

“Well, haven’t we been going to the city too often? I want to go somewhere different today.”

“Where to?”

“There’s an amusement park near the city. Let’s go there. The reviews aren’t bad when I checked.”

“Hmm… okay?”

…An amusement park.

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I last went.

The last time was during my 2nd year of middle school on a field trip.

Apart from the limited time to enjoy the rides, there was no reason not to choose it.

With no other options in mind, I nodded with a bright smile.

“Great, let’s go! I’ll get ready as soon as I finish eating. By the way, did you search diligently while I was sleeping?”

“What for?”

“I didn’t expect you to suggest going to the amusement park. Hey, Yoon Jaehyuk! You’ve really improved a lot! Now all you need is a girlfriend, right?”

“Yeah, whoever it may be, I’ll be really happy. Right?”

I teased him playfully, but once again, Hyuk evaded the confession without responding. Frustrated and annoyed, I forced a smile and got up from my seat.

“Aren’t you eating more?”

“Yeah… I don’t have much of an appetite today. I’ll go get ready first.”

“Okay, take your time getting ready. We still have plenty of time. I should finish eating quickly and get ready too.”

Hyuk, who was obliviously laughing, focused on his meal again, while I quietly entered the room, leaving him behind.

And then.

“Ik…!”

I pounded the pillow in frustration, letting out my pent-up anger silently.

I really mustered up the courage to say it!

I threw the most direct hint I could, meaning confess to me, and yet why can’t he understand it?!

“Hehe… is this how you’re going to play it?”

After tempting him several times without him confessing, a petty grudge arose within me.

Now that it’s come to this, I’ll do whatever it takes to get that confession.

I alternated between looking at the closet and the dressing table, then a sly smile crept onto my face.

“Where… let’s see if you can handle this.”

As friends for 8 years, I know his taste like the back of my hand.

How could I not? We’ve had countless fights over it in the past.

You might wonder how friends could fight over something like that.

But in reality, fights due to ‘difference in taste’ happen all the time.

As I look at the communities I frequently visit…

It’s definitely not normal for those with a rice cake-like mentality to criticize those with a bread-like mentality…

If you’re a “female,” shouldn’t you have a fertile pelvis and a full baby belly…?

…Haven’t we always divided into two factions due to differences in taste?

That’s not important right now, anyway.

Wearing clothes that hit the mark with my taste, I slowly started changing my outfit while reminiscing about the conversations I had with him.

“I wonder what delicious reaction I’ll get this time…”

Despite feeling embarrassed by the revealing outfit, I can’t help but smile as I imagine how he’ll react.

I’m really looking forward to it.

His face turning bright red.

His mouth gaping open in surprise.

And his excited, unsure demeanor.

“Ha…”

Lost in my imagination, I let out a sweet sigh without realizing it.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, I quickly shut my mouth and began checking my outfit.

“…Is this enough?”

Although I wanted to spend more time perfecting my look to match my mood, I checked the clock and realized it was time to leave.

Feeling a bit regretful for the time that passed too quickly, I quietly left the room.

And as soon as I stepped outside, I eagerly awaited Hyuk’s reaction.

“Hey, do you think this outfit suits me well?”

Pretending not to know anything, he turns his head towards me in a vulnerable state.

After staring at me blankly for about 3 seconds…

“…Wait, I need to go to the bathroom.”

And just like that, he ran off to the bathroom as if fleeing.

Is that a delicacy, or is something else a delicacy?

I burst into laughter as I watched him disappear.

—–

The clothes worn by young mothers in a certain city in a certain country.

My grand plan to seduce Hyuk with those clothes unfortunately ended in failure.

As soon as he returned from the bathroom, he begged me to please change into a different outfit.

“I thought you liked this kind of thing?”

Thinking I had failed to hit the mark with his taste, I felt my energy drain.

I thought he would like it, but without me realizing, his taste had changed…

I changed back into my usual clothes, feeling dejected, and walked out of the apartment with him, heading towards the subway station.

“Hey.”

“…What.”

“Did you really want to wear that outfit? You seem so disappointed…”

“I’m not that disappointed, don’t worry about it.”

“How can I not worry when your face is covered in marks.”

From the moment he stepped outside with a gloomy expression, Jae-hyuk cautiously approached me.

I let out a deep sigh and then, in a small voice that crawled like ants, I asked him a question.

“You don’t like those clothes… right?”

“What?”

“I remember you used to like them back in the day… did you not like them when you tried them on?”

As soon as I finished speaking, a flood of embarrassment washed over him.

Avoiding my gaze, he fidgeted with his fingers, and then, with a deep sigh, Jae-hyuk slowly opened his mouth.

“…They were pretty.”

“But?”

“Well, um, is it right for me to say this…”

Jae-hyuk looked puzzled as he touched his forehead.

Then, as if he had made a decision, he turned his gaze towards me and uttered an embarrassed confession.

“I didn’t like them because I didn’t want other guys to see you like that.”

“…”

A weak, moist, and sticky obsession could be felt in his voice.

Feeling that, I could only quietly close my mouth.

My face felt hot as if it would burn, my heart was beating too fast, and due to the excitement that seemed to have no intention of subsiding, I couldn’t think of anything at all.

Maybe, if I were to open my mouth now, I would only be able to say ‘Ah, um, oh’ like a fool?

After a while, my true emotions and heartbeat finally calmed down.

I took a deep breath and started to act as if I hadn’t heard anything.

I felt sorry for Jae-hyuk, but it was unavoidable.

…Thinking back to what I had just heard, my mind and body kept malfunctioning.

“W-when we arrive at the amusement park, what should we ride first? Roller coaster, as expected?”

“Let’s decide when we get there. If the line is long, our plans will be meaningless, right?”

“That’s a valid point.”

To break the awkward atmosphere, we calmly chatted and before we knew it, we had arrived at the entrance of the amusement park.

Looking inside the fence, which seemed quite deserted probably due to the late hour, I started to make plans.

“…Today, for sure.”

It wasn’t so important to enjoy the rides.

As a vampire, it was obvious that I wouldn’t feel the same excitement I felt in my human days.

What I needed to think about was how to conquer Jae-hyuk while riding the rides.

“Two adult, free access tickets, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

With the closing time at 23:00, we had 3 hours and 30 minutes left.

I vowed to confess my feelings within that time frame.

And so, I walked into the amusement park with Jae-hyuk by my side.
