A few days after going to the beauty salon with Ha Yu-jin.

During that time, Ha Yu-jin’s attitude changed.

In the past, when I sent a KakaoTalk message, it was common for people to just read it and not reply.

It’s a common saying that goes, “read and ignore.”

But these days, that kind of thing rarely happens.

At least if you read it, please send me a reply, even if it’s brief.

It’s certainly a good thing that things have changed in a positive direction, but we can’t just let things continue as they are.

In the first place, it is normal to reply after reading the KakaoTalk message.

I guess we can say that the relationship that Lee Seo-ha ruined has finally been returned to normal.

‘Well, there’s no need to rush.’

In the first place, being impatient in a relationship between a man and a woman is poisonous.

You have to make it happen as slowly and naturally as possible.

I turned my head and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall.

‘In the next three months.’

There are about three months left until admission to the academy.

That should be enough.

Well, since we’ve had fun for a few days, let’s get moving now.

I put down the book I was holding and picked up my cell phone.

And I sent a KakaoTalk message to Ha Yu-jin.

[Hey, what are you doing?]

[Just being]

I received a reply right away from Ha Yu-jin, either because she was looking at her phone or because she was waiting for me to contact her.

I really don’t know why you only pick pretty things like this.

If you keep yapping, you’ll really get in trouble.

[If you have nothing to do, come out]

[If you’re going to be like before, I won’t come out]

It looks like she wasn’t very happy with the one I left in front of the beauty salon before.

But there was nothing I could do about it.

Because it was to inject some tension into my loose childhood friend.

I think it’ll be fun to tell the truth later.

Wouldn’t you be happy if you knew that I went to such lengths to win your heart?

Well, we’ll leave that for another day’s fun.

[Okay then don’t come out]

I left the KakaoTalk message like that and put my phone back on the table.

Not long after, my phone started making loud KakaoTalk notification sounds.

It’s obvious what they sent.

I guess all you’ll see is grumbling.

Ha Yu-jin must realize this.

If you try to flirt with me without permission, you won’t even get your money back.

After leaving my phone alone for a while, the moment I had been waiting for finally arrived.

It was a call from Ha Yu-jin.

I received a call after a short pause.

“Hello.”

━ Hey, what is it? Why aren’t you checking KakaoTalk?

“I was doing something else because you said you weren’t going.”

━ No, that’s what you said last time… Ha, okay. Where are you going?

“I was just trying to look at some clothes. But why? You said you weren’t going.”

━ When did I say I wasn’t going? It was just… last time you… . Oh, that’s okay.

I tried to get angry, then got sullen, then got upset.

Ha Yu-jin’s emotions were fluctuating, and I couldn’t help but snicker.

━ Just give me 30 minutes.

“30 minutes, okay.”

With those words, the call ended.

Since you asked for 30 minutes, I guess you’re trying to prepare something.

Last time, I went out wearing just some baggy tracksuit and no makeup.

How can you see so clearly what you’re doing?

I wish you’d wag your tail a bit more often, but if you keep doing that, it’ll be hard to stay still.

Soon I was up from the sofa.

Then I went back to my room to change my clothes and opened the closet.

Inside the closet, the clothes I bought yesterday were neatly organized.

Lee Seo-ha’s fashion sense was so terrible that I couldn’t bring myself to wear it on a date.

So I bought everything new.

Anyway, I have so much money that it’ll just rot away.

Why are you going to buy clothes again after buying them yesterday?

If you find out Ha Yu-jin’s tastes in advance, it will be of great help in the future.

And more than anything, of course I would be excited if the man I was interested in was wearing clothes that suited my taste.

I plan to make it a little clearer that this isn’t the childhood friend you usually see.

I hummed and started changing into suitable clothes.

* * * * *

Five minutes before the appointed time, I arrived in front of Ha Yu-jin’s house.

Then, not long after, a familiar voice was heard.

“I’ll be back-!”

It was Ha Yu-jin’s voice.

It seemed polite to greet each other loudly every time.

I have a feeling that adults will like it.

Eventually, she came out, faced me, and tilted her head.

“What, you were like that last time too. Why are you here early?”

“Isn’t it normal to show up early for an appointment?”

“I’m saying this because I was in a hurry to get out because the appointment time was almost up.”

Lee Seo-ha, this idiot did something like that.

Ha Yu-jin, who had that guy as her childhood friend, looks like an angel.

Well, now he’s my childhood friend.

By the way.

‘You really came out looking all dressed up.’

Ha Yu-jin was wearing tight jeans and an oversized man-to-man top.

I wanted to decorate it, but I didn’t want it to be obvious.

The same goes for makeup.

I only used natural base makeup to make sure it wasn’t too noticeable.

But if you didn’t like the fact that it was obvious, you should have come out like this last time too.

Or maybe I just want you to know the truth.

Well, no matter what, it was much more pleasing to the eye than last time, so I was just grateful.

What on earth is that that can’t be hidden even with an oversized man-to-man… .

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, just.”

“What the heck? I just saw that it looked good. What do you think? Is it okay?”

Ha Yu-jin said with a playful smile, as if she wanted to show off that they were childhood friends.

And then he turned around as if he was showing off his appearance.

If I had asked you this before, you would have been too embarrassed to say no.

But I’m not your old childhood friend.

“Oh, it suits you well.”

“Huh… ?”

“Why? I said it suits you well.”

“Ah, no, that’s not it here… .”

Ha Yu-jin’s ears were seen slowly turning red as she panicked.

I guess I should stop joking around here since it’ll just be embarrassing if I rush in too suddenly.

“Let’s go now.”

“Oh, yeah.”

As I took the first step, Ha Yu-jin followed me.

The ears sticking out from between the hair were still red.

Eventually we arrived downtown to head to the shopping mall.

While I was walking down the street, Ha Yu-jin suddenly asked me a question.

“Lee Seo-ha, but why are you suddenly wearing clothes?”

“My fashion is just so crappy. So I’m going to buy some clothes.”

“You just realized it now… . Isn’t it a good thing you realized it now?”

Ha Yu-jin tilted her head from side to side.

It was very unfair that I was being treated like this when it was something I didn’t do.

But it wasn’t all bad because it saved the heroines from NTR.

“But you’ve changed a lot lately?”

“Well, there’s a good reason for that.”

“… Really?”

Ha Yu-jin glanced at me from the corner of her eye.

It seemed like he wanted to find out what was on his mind, but unfortunately he couldn’t easily reveal his true feelings.

Easy guys are no fun.

You have to tease them and tease them until they eventually beg.

We walked for a while, chatting casually like that.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at a large shopping mall in the city.

“Hmm-. What would suit me?”

Ha Yu-jin frowned as she looked at the clothes lined up in a heap.

It seemed like she was quite worried even though it wasn’t even her clothes.

Well, I guess I’ll have to choose carefully.

Because I’m going to wear it on a guy I care about.

‘Then can I choose next time?’

I’m so looking forward to that day coming.

“Ah, this is good. Lee Seo-ha, try this on.”

Ha Yu-jin picked one of the many clothes and handed it to me.

It was a plain outfit that didn’t stand out much.

‘Is this your taste?’

I was worried that he might like something unusual, but fortunately that didn’t seem to be the case.

Soon, I changed into the clothes Ha Yu-jin gave me in the locker room and went outside.

Ha Yu-jin, who faced me like that, just blinked blankly and didn’t say anything.

To be exact, it seemed as if he had even forgotten how to speak.

“Hey, what do you think? Say something.”

“Huh? Well, so-so… .”

“Really? Not so good?”

“Oh, no! Let’s buy that! It suits you perfectly!”

Ha Yu-jin, who came to her senses late, hurriedly changed her words.

Anyway, it would be easier if you were honest from the beginning, but you always make it go through my hands.

Well, I decided to look at it favorably since it would only be like that for now.

Later on, she will work hard to seek affection so as not to be pushed out by other heroines.

After that, I paid the bill while wearing the clothes Ha Yu-jin had chosen for me.

And then I left the clothing section and walked around the mall for a bit.

Ha Yu-jin said.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Well, is there anything you want to do?”

“I think I’m starting to get hungry… ?”

“Really? Then let’s go eat.”

Luckily, there were several restaurants inside the large shopping mall, so we headed there.

Before entering the restaurant, I spoke to Ha Yu-jin and stopped by the bathroom for a moment.

It was because my hair, which had been styled while changing clothes, became a little messy.

When I finally came out after fixing my messy hair.

A strange situation was unfolding before my eyes.

“Can you please give it to me just once?”

“Oh, I don’t like it.”

“Can’t it be done somehow?”

“You said you have a boyfriend?”

“Hey, let’s start with friends.”

What are you talking about, you little shit?

I was momentarily taken aback.
