My date with Yuri Lee went very smoothly.

Yuri Yoo obediently came under my umbrella and muttered things like ‘Why do I have the same umbrella as you…’ but as soon as she arrived at the arcade, her attitude changed.

We sang excitedly at the coin karaoke room, and afterwards, we sweated it out by playing air hockey and DDR.

When Lee Yu-ri started singing and exercising her body in the arcade, it was noticeable that she became quite excited.

“Shoot! iced coffee! Why can’t I keep adding it?”

Lee Yu-ri, who was playing a mini-basketball game, stamped her feet and got angry when the ball repeatedly did not go in.

Lee Yu-ri, who had better academic skills than anyone else but poor athletic skills, missed everything she did, and I, who was worse than her, helped her to give her a sense of accomplishment.

“Aren’t you throwing with too much force? Wouldn’t it make a difference if I just changed my posture a little bit? Now, like this.”

As if giving a back hug, I went behind Yuri, placed my chest on her back, and held her arms from behind.

Yuri Lee’s shoulders shook in surprise and she rolled her eyes and turned her head back.

“You… are you doing this now, not so subtly, but so openly?”

“Did you hate it?”

“……”

Yuri Lee bit her lip and turned her head forward again without answering.

This guy is almost over it now.

I moved Yu-ri Lee’s wrist, which was holding the basketball, to help her position herself, and then took my body away.

“Throw while thinking that only your left wrist is moving. like this. You know the line that the left hand is only for the girdle?”

After I demonstrated it in the air, Yuri Lee followed suit, but once again, the ball fell without even hitting the goal post.

I used that as an excuse to continue to engage in skinship, and Yuri only glanced at me each time but did not stop me.

After several attempts, Yuri Lee managed to score a goal, and as soon as she scored, she jumped up and down in excitement.

“I finally put it in! Oh, I thought I was going to die of frustration!”

“Congratulations, high five for victory?”

Wow!

Yuri Lee touched her palm with mine without resistance.

Anyone can see that we are a couple who gets along well.

Perhaps conscious of that, Yuri Lee immediately withdrew her hand after giving me a high five, averted my gaze here and there, and then lightly tapped my chest with her fist.

“But why have you been groping my body since a while ago? I didn’t even give permission.”

“I didn’t even say I didn’t like it.”

“Oh, no, that’s not it! What I meant was to just teach you the movements. Just like that, I…”

“You?”

“If you stick to my back like that, your breath will hit my ear… ahhh! I don’t know! Anyway, don’t touch my body like that! If anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m a really light person! Aren’t I that kind of girl?!”

Yuri Lee got angry.

However, when we finished our date at the arcade and went outside in the rain, she stood in front of the arcade entrance blankly, even though she had her own umbrella, and waited for me to open it.

It’s cute.

We walked away, clinging to each other under my umbrella with Yuri Lee.

“It’s raining like this so it doesn’t seem like a good idea to take a walk in the park. Should we go to a cafe?”

“Then. Why did it rain today…”

“Why? Aren’t you secretly waiting to go on a date with me?”

“Oh, no, it’s just that the weather is bad for me…!”

“Yes, yes, everything Yuri said is correct.”

I stroked Yuri’s head, and even though Yuri was shaking, she didn’t move my hand away from touching her head.

“You’re so annoying…”

We moved to a nearby cafe and talked about various things while drinking coffee.

From stories about our weekday rumors to Yuri Lee’s student council work, etc.

In particular, what exactly Lee Yu-ri does in the student council was never described in detail in the original work, so it was fun to listen to in its own way.

“Then what do you do during sports day?”

When one of the things that the student council does is to prepare a budget for the sports day in May, I suddenly became curious.

Even though there was a big event called a sports day in the original work, Yuri Lee never appeared at that event.

At that time, the only talk at the sports day centered on Choi Soo-yeon and Jeong Eun-ji.

“Me? I have to work with the student council members to check if there are any problems at the sports day and submit a report on the results.”

In short, it meant that she couldn’t attend the sports day because of work.

Although the student council president of this world is different from the high school student council president, he has a lot of real power and a lot of work to do, but it’s a bit pitiful that he can’t participate in the sports day that only happens once a year because he’s working.

“Then you can’t participate at all. Is that okay?”

“Someone has to do it anyway. The student council president has such great authority that he even prepares the budget. And I’m really bad at using my body.”

“Uh, I could understand that just by watching him play basketball with DDR.”

“Hey!”

“But it’s disappointing. Whether you do well or not, it would have been nice if you participated too.”

“… Why?”

“No, just. I thought it would be nice to run a sports team with you. I wanted to try something like 2-person 3-way.”

“2, what is a 3-way angle for 2 people… Why am I doing that with you… ”

“Or is sexy cheerleader Lee Yu-ri giving me loving support?”

“Hey!!! Do you really want to keep saying strange things?!”

Lee Yu-ri, who shouted angrily, drank a cup of coffee with a red face and then changed the subject.

“Hmm, hmm. Isn’t there something you need to take care of before that? Isn’t it a sports day that won’t happen until May?”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Note test!”

When the word “mock test” came up, I quietly averted my gaze.

However, Yu-ri Lee moved to sit next to me as if she had just found out about her stage and started nagging me.

” When I thought about it, just playing around like this wasn’t important. Do you know that there is a mock exam next week in April?”

“You know…”

“Studying?”

“…… Do you want to go and play another round of DDR?”

“I did not.”

“I couldn’t do it.”

Yu-ri Lee sighed deeply at my answer.

“I’m always interested in dozing off during class and playing around with other things. You start studying with me next week. Until then, no dates or anything.”

“Oh, so you’re acknowledging that what we’re doing now is a date?”

“…!!!”

Yuri Yuri averted her gaze and answered as if nothing had happened.

“You, I’m just hanging out with you! Since I’ve hung out with you this much, promise me you’ll do your duty and study properly! Or, I’ll lend you a workbook today, so we can go to a study cafe later in the evening-”

“Oh, I’m sorry, but not today. I have a place to go later in the evening.”

“Ah… really?”

Yu-ri Lee’s expression becomes noticeably glum.

I want to kiss you.

“Uh. You have to go around 5 o’clock or before. Don’t worry, I’ll be with you until then.”

“I see… Then, shall we talk more about studying in preparation for the written exam?”

“Can I just go now?”

#####

As I was chatting with Yuri Lee about various things, time passed by and it was already past 4:30.

While I was talking, I occasionally looked at my phone to check text messages.

‘I think it’s about time…’

When I had free time between cafe dates with Lee Yu-ri, I was encouraging Choi Soo-yeon to follow my date course with Gong Young-bae.

He tells us where we went last weekend and also tells us that the cafe we are currently in has a great atmosphere and is a place where many couples come.

While I was anxiously waiting to see when they would arrive, I saw a man and woman folding an umbrella through the glass door of the cafe.

The man was a good-looking handsome man, but his style was ordinary, and the woman was dressed much more flashily than the man, and had blonde hair with an amazing body.

‘come!’

They were Choi Su-yeon and Gong Young-bae.

The moment I saw the two of them entering the cafe, I sat down next to Yuri and blocked her view of the entrance so she wouldn’t see them.

“What, what is it?”

Yu-ri Lee, unaware of the situation, saw me suddenly narrowing the distance and tilted her upper body back slightly.

“Just because you looked prettier while we were dating.”

“Again, you’re saying something strange! Do you really want to keep doing this?!”

“But I’m not kidding.”

“…Huh?”

……

Yu-ri Lee’s heart started pounding again as if it would explode at Han Seong-jin’s words.

I wanted to push him away, telling him to stop talking nonsense, but the distance to Han Seong-jin was too close for that to happen.

And while I was moving today, the feeling of snuggling next to him and holding an umbrella with him… wasn’t that bad.

He was a man with a sturdy physique and massive muscles, and there were many rumors that he was an unreasonable bully, but when I actually talked to him, he turned out to be much more sane and softer than I thought, and he also had a manly face.

Last week, after hearing Han Seong-jin openly say, ‘Because I like you,’ Yu-ri Lee herself felt that her heart was being shaken severely.

It wasn’t a bad feeling of being protected.

It felt really good to be treated as a precious woman by someone.

It was the first time I felt that my position and situation were taken into consideration.

When I looked at Han Seong-jin’s black eyes, I felt like my heart was going to jump out.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and in the end, Lee Yu-ri asked Han Seong-jin in a voice that seemed to be possessed.

“… Hey, Han Seongjin. Let’s ask something…”

“What is it?”

“You know what you said last time. Do you… really like me?”

“What did you do last time…? Did you by any chance remember that? Aren’t you drunk?”

“Even if I was drunk, I still remember everything. So please answer me. Do you… like me?”

The silence that fell between the two felt like an eternity to Lee Yu-ri.

Lee Yu-ri was feeling relieved and regretting saying those words in her mind at the same time.

I resented Han Seong-jin for not answering right away, and at the same time, I hoped he would just say something.

And instead of answering, Han Seongjin extended his hand first.

He caressed Yuri’s cheek with one hand and placed his rough hand on Yuri’s small, soft hand.

“Then let me tell you one more time. I like you.”

This time, Lee Yu-ri confessed while completely sober and completely sober.
