weekend.

The day I promised to go to Jeong Ye-eun’s house.

I wake up early in the morning, prepare a meal at my grandfather’s restaurant, and check out the closet.

Today, instead of the comfortable, slightly rough ripped jeans and black short-sleeved combination that I usually wear, I wore something a little more neat.

This is what it looks like, so you should at least dress calmly.

If a survey were conducted to rank the men adults dislike as sons-in-law, he would be at least in the top five.

It may be okay if it’s a relationship, but it’s bound to be at a disadvantage in the marriage market, which requires permission from both parents.

Um… appropriate clothes…

{Leather jacket, the symbol of the golden sun}

{Under Armor short sleeves that cannot be worn by those below 3:500}

{Thom Browne cardigan worn when hanging out with good people (from Dongdaemun)}

As a part-time worker… Oh, I saw a closet filled with only the most exquisite clothes.

You were a friend with strong tastes, our Dohyun.

“AC… Is there anything else?”

I looked around the closet to see if there was anything.

“Uh, is this…?”

Fortunately, I was able to find some decent slacks in a corner of the closet.

If you combine that with a solid color and short sleeves, you can create an outfit that’s pretty decent but doesn’t stand out.

There were no wrinkles, and there was no strange smell.

I was fortunate that the clothes were in good washing condition.

I immediately changed my clothes and left on time.

The plan is to arrive in the afternoon, spend some time, have dinner together, and then return.

The members will be me, Jeong Ye-eun, Moon Jeong-woo, and Jeong Ye-rin… plus Ye-eun’s parents, so 6 people will be eating together.

What I have to do today is to bring Ye-eun’s parents’ hearts.

Basically, Moon Jung-woo and Jeong Ye-eun are childhood friends, but their families are also very close.

Even if I sow endless suspicion and fights between the two, the relationship may actually get better after reconciliation thanks to the intervention of the parents… that could be the result.

Of course, Moon Jeong-woo and Ye-eun’s parents have also known each other for a very long time.

Ye-eun’s parents probably think of Moon Jeong-woo as if they were their adopted son.

Just as Jeong Ye-eun and Moon Jeong-woo are not people who easily become distant after a single fight, the relationship between Moon Jeong-woo and Ye-eun’s parents is also not something that can be broken off all at once.

The key is to gradually change the weight of the scale.

Gently, gently, gently tilting the scales toward Moon Jeong-woo.

Slowly tilt it towards me.

Someday, when all the weights on the scale will tip towards me.

Moon Jeong-woo will be completely abandoned by both Jeong Ye-eun and her family.

**

Jeong Ye-eun washed her body.

Wow, a stream of warm water fell from the shower hose and drenched her body.

She slowly started applying the body wash to her soft and smooth skin.

It was longer than usual.

The process of washing my hair with shampoo and taking care of my hair with conditioner was also the same.

Today I wanted to wash even more thoroughly than usual.

I wish there was only a scent coming from my body, and I wish my hair was flowing.

Because it was Choi Do-hyun’s first day entering her private space?

‘No… it’s not just because it’s Dohyeon! Yes, of course it’s good manners to look clean when someone comes to the house…!’

She braced herself.

I myself did not know what the rationalization was from or for.

After finishing her shower, she dried her body with a towel.

Every time the moisture disappeared, the pure white skin glowed.

She came out of the bathroom and headed to her room.

What kind of clothes should I wear?

‘one piece..? No, is it going to look too decorated? But, those dolphin pants look so comfortable… Should I just wear shorts?’

Shorts that were not too long and not too short, about 5 inches long, caught my eye.

Since it comes to just above the knees, it’s not too burdensome, it’s comfortable, and it doesn’t feel too fancy, nor does it feel like something you would wear at home.

‘It’s appropriate.’

She took out her gray shorts and put them on.

The top attire was neat and short-sleeved.

I looked at the clock and it was already past 1 o’clock.

‘Is it coming slowly…?’

Today, we reconciled with Jeongwoo when we had a fight last time, and took Dohyun to see the house.

I think it would be good if the three of us could hang out and clear up some of Jeongwoo’s misunderstandings…

“Hmm…”

She sat down on the chair and started using her phone.

‘Why, why am I so nervous…’

It’s common to invite other people to have dinner together.

Like Jeongwoo, or my sister’s boyfriend, Haram.

‘It’s just the same…’

We were close friends at school, and we often hung out together even after school.

It’s just that the place changed from a karaoke bar or arcade to a home.

Let’s relax.

-Ding dong

At that time, the doorbell rang.

Suddenly, Jeong Ye-eun’s legs reacted before her.

Arriving at the front door, her white, soft hand turned the doorknob.

“ too…!”

“Yes, Yeeun.. Hello..!”

And, what he saw in his eyes was Jeongwoo.

“Ah.. Yes, Jeongwoo. Come in.”

It was different from what I had in mind, but it was actually better.

At this point, we just need to make up completely before Dohyun arrives.

After a day, our feelings for each other calmed down, and we were able to have a more rational conversation than before.

However, there was still an awkwardness between them.

At the sound of conversation, Yerin Jeong came out of the room.

“Uh, is Jungwoo here?”

“Hello, sister.”

“Okay. Rest comfortably.”

After a brief greeting,

“Well, first.. come this way.”

She took Moon Jeong-woo to her room.

The door closed, and the necklace hit the door with a clicking sound.

“…That necklace is still hanging.”

Moon Jeong-woo mentioned the necklace.

“Yes.”

There was an awkward atmosphere.

“..I was sorry yesterday, Yeeun.”

And, Moon Jeong-woo first expressed his intention to apologize.

He didn’t want to be far away from his childhood friend, especially with this… uninvited guest involved.

A sense of crisis moved his mouth.

“..yeah!”

And, she also happily accepted his apology.

That’s enough, Moon Jeong-woo thought.

Isn’t it originally said that the ground hardens after it rains?

Although there was a small conflict, their relationship will become stronger.

So much so that someone named Choi Do-hyun, who cannot even guess their bond, dares to intervene.

….I was sure Jeong Ye-eun would think so too.

No matter what she thought, at least Moon Jeong-woo was sure of that.

“What were you doing, Yeeun?”

he said with a smile.

They had seen each other for over 10 years.

Apologies were exchanged, and the atmosphere soon relaxed.

“Yes, you know Dohyeon is coming later, right? I was wondering what to do.”

“Do you want to play a game? There are a lot of board games, or you can connect them to a monitor and play them…”

.

.

At that time, after briefly greeting Moon Jeong-woo, Jeong Ye-rin returned to her room and lay face down on the bed.

Choi Do-hyun, who brings new fun these days, was on her mind.

He talked to her every time she went to school.

It was annoying at first, but as we talked, I realized that it was quite interesting.

Giving and receiving tiki-taka is fun, and the hitting feels good.

-What is it? I thought we had become friends, but what would be the difference if I welcomed you a little more?

A voice came to mind that brought some fun to his boring morning hours.

Jeong Ye-rin had become quite accustomed to morning conversations with him.

As she let out a giggling laugh, a new sentence sounded in her ears.

-Uh, I didn’t want to come here empty-handed, so I bought it.

Yes, Choi Do-hyun has exactly that voice –

‘what?’

Does the original flashback sound this real?

‘That can’t be possible.’

She opened the door again and went out.

Standing in front of the front door was her younger brother and the person she had been thinking about just a moment ago.

“Uh, senior. Hello.”

“What is it, Choi Do-hyeon? Yeeun, why is she here?”

She asked her younger brother, who was holding a plastic bag filled with fruit, who was greeting Choi Do-hyeon.

“Huh? Didn’t I tell you? Dohyun is going to have dinner today too.”

“What, wasn’t only Jungwoo coming?”

“Yeah.. I think I said that back then? Isn’t it… Dohyun, go to my room for now! That’s the door.”

After Choi Do-hyun entered her room, Jeong Ye-rin approached Jeong Ye-eun.

“Just call Jungwoo like usual…”

“It happens again… Why do you two not get along so well? Try becoming friends with Dohyeon too. How good is it..”

“You know that I hate scoundrels like that.”

“You’re not a bully? It was Dohyun who helped us last time.”

“Phew… First of all, I understand. I’ll go back to my room.”

“Yes. See you later at dinner, sister!”

“Okay.”

-Quang.

She went into the room and locked the door.

‘I didn’t even change my clothes or put on any makeup…!’

Moon Jeong-woo, whatever.

It doesn’t really matter because we’re almost like family.

I seemed overly comfortable with someone I wasn’t that close to.

“Ugh…”

A fever filled with shame rose up.

It was comforting to know that I had at least taken a shower.

After checking once more that the door was properly locked, she began to change clothes.
