I came out of the bar with Han Ji-hyun.

It was quite late in the evening, but as expected from a busy area with many bars, the lights were still on.

After leaving the bar and deciding to do what Han Ji-hyun likes, I looked around the street to see if there was a place that sold hairpins.

“There it is.”

Because it was a busy area, it was easy to find shops selling hairpins on the street.

Ha, you really found it… … .

I was nervous because I thought it was actually going to start.

But it was okay.

Because my love for Han Ji-hyun is much greater than my dislike for that reversal of power play.

You want to do it so badly, but you said you don’t want to do it with me or anyone else, so I have no choice but to do it.

“Whoa… … , Whoa… … .”

As I approached the hairpin shop,

Han Ji-hyun took a deep breath, perhaps even more nervous than I was.

“Why are you shaking?”

“So so.”

Perhaps because she was doing something she had dreamed of her whole life but had never been able to do, Han Ji-hyun was so happy that she was almost hyperventilating.

Yeah, I like it this much, so what’s the big deal?

I held her hand and stood in front of the store.

“What, what’s pretty… … ?”

Han Ji-hyun spoke in a hushed voice, breathing heavily.

“You don’t have to care about me. Do whatever you want.”

From a man’s perspective, if he could do whatever he wanted,

It’s good to buy your girlfriend a hairpin that she likes, but

Wouldn’t you want to buy a hairpin that you think your girlfriend would look pretty wearing and put it on?

“Is that okay… … ?”

She asked with a look of both joy and worry in her eyes.

“Okay, do whatever you want. But next time, let me buy it for you.”

“Of course… … ! You can do anything to me! I’ll do it all!”

Han Ji-hyun nodded quickly and said.

If you just occasionally play the role of a man and woman reversed,

I also thought that it wasn’t a bad relationship because I could do everything I wanted to do with Han Ji-hyun as her boyfriend.

“Then… …, is this okay?”

Han Ji-hyun asked while choosing the most gorgeous and feminine hairpin among those being sold in the store.

I was afraid to choose that one, but somehow I felt like I would choose that one.

“Ah… …, or this?”

When I hesitated at the hairpin she chose, Han Ji-hyun seemed worried that I might be offended.

He said, pointing to another hairpin that looked decent enough.

“Oh, no. Let’s do this.”

I smiled at her and picked up the first hair clip she had chosen.

Then, her breathing became more labored.

“Instead, let’s do it where no one is watching.”

I was a little embarrassed, so I spoke to her quietly.

“Yeah.”

She answered, shaking her head quickly.

Han Ji-hyun calculated the price of hairpins.

For some reason, I felt a little embarrassed by this situation where a woman was calculating the price of hairpins.

“Let’s go… … .”

Han Ji-hyun said with a trembling voice.

Phew… … . Okay. Let’s go… … .

We went to a quiet alley where few people passed by.

“Ugh… … .”

Han Ji-hyun took a deep breath.

“Like it?”

I asked.

“It’s so… … , so good. What should I do?”

Han Ji-hyun answered, stamping her feet.

Is it really that good?

“Well, do whatever you want.”

I bent my knees slightly so she could place the hairpin in my hair.

Her hand touched my hair.

As I felt the metal of the hairpin making a clicking sound, I felt Han Ji-hyun’s hands shaking at the same time.

“Okay, okay… … .”

Han Ji-hyun looked up at my head with eyes filled with excitement and emotion and said:

I felt somehow embarrassed.

“Pretty.”

Han Ji-hyun covered her mouth with both hands and said with pleasure.

I wondered what she was doing, but I felt proud to see her enjoying it so much.

“Do you like it?”

“I love it! I love it so much… … . Oppa, you’re the best.”

It was a bit strange that he thought something like this was the best, but I was glad that Han Ji-hyun liked it so much.

“Did you get your first wish?”

“Yeah!”

She answered happily.

Ugh… … .

It was nice that Han Ji-hyun was happy, but I felt so embarrassed that I thought I would die.

I’m a guy… … . Ugh… … .

“Can I take it out now?”

“Joe, let me enjoy it a little more… … .”

Oh my… … ! Ugh… … !!

“Yeah… … .”

Han Ji-hyun continued to look at me with bright eyes.

It was as if he was looking at a figure he had dreamed of.

In those eyes, I couldn’t help but continue to feel embarrassed.

Ewww… … !

I know I’ll be happy, but please stop taking it out now… … !! Please… … !!!

I’m embarrassed……!

After a while, Han Ji-hyun seemed satisfied enough,

I took the hairpin out of my head.

“It was so good. Thank you so much, oppa.”

Han Ji-hyun spoke to me while hugging me.

Then he gave me a peck on the cheek.

Although it was a bit difficult to hold on, I was so happy that I could continue to be happy with Han Ji-hyun.

Out of the 101 things Han Ji-hyun wanted to do, she has only just crossed 1.

From now on, it could be even more intense than today.

But the more it was like that, the closer it became to getting married to Han Ji-hyun.

Having already accomplished one, my confidence has been boosted.

I thought that if I continued to do as I did today, make her happy, and continue to enjoy her love for me, that would be enough.

After completing the first step that day, we parted ways happily.

* * * * *

I often hung out with Han Ji-hyun at university.

Then, when I met someone I knew, I just introduced them as my club juniors.

No matter how different their appearances were, if they were seniors and juniors in the same club, no one thought it was strange for them to hang out together.

Then today I ran into Junho.

“Hey! Huh… … ?”

Junho found me first in the hallway and tried to talk to me.

I was startled when I saw Han Ji-hyun standing next to me.

“Oh, hello… … ?”

Junho, who ran into the best goddess in school, greeted her with the coolest expression he could muster in order to impress her.

“Do you know each other… … ?”

Junho asked me in surprise, as if I couldn’t possibly know her.

“Yeah. My junior from the film club.”

I answered him.

“Ah… … .”

Junho, who heard my answer, nodded with an expression that said, “Well, that’s right.”

“If I had such a pretty junior in the club, I would introduce him to you.”

Junho spoke to me as if he was blaming me.

I couldn’t figure out why I had to do that.

When I asked him to introduce me to a girl, he said he had never introduced me to a girl of average class.

Am I supposed to introduce you to our university’s best queen bee, Han Ji-hyun?

“We’re not club juniors. We’re just dating.”

While I was feeling offended by his words, Han Ji-hyun suddenly said to Jun-ho.

“Yes… … ?”

Junho asked back, looking bewildered.

“Inho oppa and I, we’re not just seniors and juniors, we’re seeing each other.”

Han Ji-hyun said to Jun-ho.

“Are you kidding…? ”

Junho looked at me and Han Jihyun alternately and asked.

“No kidding.”

Han Ji-hyun answered.

“Yes… … ?”

Junho looked embarrassed and didn’t seem to believe Han Jihyun’s words.

“We’re just seniors and juniors. He’s joking. Then let’s go.”

I spoke to Junho indifferently and then walked past him with Han Jihyun.

“Why don’t you say we’re just friends?”

Han Ji-hyun asked me.

“If I told her I was dating her, she’d be pissed to death. She’s told me ten times that I’m so pretty.”

I told Han Ji-hyun.

Of course, I said it in a sarcastic tone for her.

Originally, it was said that she was ‘so damn pretty’, ‘a goddess’, etc.

It’s a word that men often use without much thought among friends when they want to emphasize something, but it can be unpleasant for women to hear, so I changed it to make it sound more pleasant for her.

“Still, so what if we’re just a little bit friends?”

“That’s because I feel burdened. If I say we’re just a couple, they’ll start asking me a bunch of questions about how I got into a relationship with you.”

I kept talking.

“Not only him, but now that word has spread, a lot of guys at our university who are eyeing you will contact me and ask me about you. That’s going to be really annoying.”

“Ah… … .”

“And what’s even worse is that if they find out that I can flirt with you, they’ll think they can too and try to challenge you. That’s why it’s better to keep it a secret at school.”

“Still… … .”

“Later, when you really get married, you can invite that friend to the wedding.”

I said with a smile.

“Okay. But next time I see that senior again, I’ll tell him that we’re in a relationship again.”

She said with a pretty smile. She was stubborn.

Well, then I could just say I was joking again, so it didn’t matter.

* * * * *

We secretly hugged and kissed each other in the school building, in a hallway where few people passed by.

I enjoyed skinship full of affection and longing, secretly checking to see if other people were coming or not.

This moment, at any time, was so sweet and happy.

I am so happy even to this extent,

Now that I’m dating Han Ji-hyun, if I can have even more intimate skinship with her…

Just imagining it made me feel like the gates of heaven were opening.

“What’s the second thing you want to do?”

I asked, holding Han Ji-hyun in my arms and stroking her head.

“Bracelet, bracelet holder.”

She said this while looking up at me prettily while holding me in her arms.

“Are you bringing the bracelet you want to wear?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay. Then let’s do that next time we go on a date.”

“Thank you so much.”

As I spoke, Han Ji-hyun snuggled deeper into my arms and expressed her sincere gratitude to me.

“It might be a bit much to do it in a cafe or restaurant, so let’s do it in a bar.”

I suggested that we do it at a bar we often frequent, so other people wouldn’t see me wearing a women’s bracelet.

“Yeah. Okay.”

Han Ji-hyun answered me with excitement and a look of great anticipation.
