I was drinking an iced Americano.

“How is it when you see it in person?”

Suddenly, Yoon Aram asked.

It seemed like a question about seeing the fish earlier.

“It was pretty when I saw it on YouTube, but it’s even prettier in person. I think I know why you like it.”

“Right? I told you it’s really pretty. I’m glad you noticed.”

Yoon Aram smiled brightly, saying, “Hehe.”

Her smile brought a smile to my face too.

What man would hate it when the woman he likes is that happy?

Of course, there may be people out there with such peculiar tastes, but at least not me.

After a while, we drank some coffee and started looking at the fish tank installed in the cafe again.

The tropical fish I had thought of were the guppies and neon tetras I had seen before, but there were surprisingly many different types.

“What are these?”

I asked because there are some really unique creatures in the water that are neither snakes nor lizards.

“These are Polypterus endrichei, one of the commonly called ancient fish. They look sturdy, but they are secretly tricky? They also grow very large.”

Polyp… what? Endree…?

The terms are so unfamiliar that I don’t know a single one.

I think I understand why people call it an ancient language.

“For reference, there are polypterus other than Endrichei, such as Senegals or Albino Senegals. By the way, Albino means melanin pigment… .”

Yoon Aram continued her explanation with sparkling eyes.

What on earth is so fun about it?

Well, as long as she’s happy, that’s fine with me.

By the way, what on earth don’t you know about tropical fish?

If I had to give Yoon A-ram a nickname, I would have to call her a walking fish dictionary.

As she continued explaining, Yoon Aram began to slowly look at me.

It seems like he thinks he’s been talking too much by himself.

I reached out and lightly tapped her head.

“It’s fun to listen to, so keep going.”

“Oh, yeah! Then there are? Aside from this polypterus, there are a ton of ancient species, right? Where would they be? Oh, there they are!”

Yoon Aram grabbed my wrist and dragged me to another fish tank.

I wonder if I have let her off the leash.

I was controlling it in my own way, but when I said it was fun, he lost his mind.

by the way.

‘Why are you so cute?’

I want to drag you somewhere right now and bite you hard.

After that, we wandered around the cafe for a while, and when we came out, two hours had already passed.

“Ahh-! That was fun-!”

Yoon A-ram stretched her arms out towards the sky.

Because of that, her clothes were pulled up and her chest area looked strangely prominent.

Although not as big as Ha Yu-jin, Yoon A-ram also had something quite great.

So much so that I look forward to the day when I can sleep in it.

“Seo Ha-ya.”

At the sound of Yoon Aram’s voice, I quickly turned my gaze elsewhere.

Because I didn’t want to be misunderstood as someone who was staring straight into someone’s heart.

Of course it’s not a misunderstanding, but anyway, that’s how it is.

Fortunately, Yoon Aram didn’t seem to notice my gaze and spoke to me normally.

“Did you have fun too?”

“Of course it was fun. But you seem a little hoarse.”

“Ah-, Ah-, Really? I think I talked too much.”

Yoon Aram scratched her head with an embarrassed smile.

Well, I was so excited that I talked and talked for two hours without stopping, so my throat was probably sore.

So where should we go now?

It was when I was so worried.

Suddenly, the cell phone in my pocket started ringing loudly.

I took out my phone and checked the screen, and there were three large letters that said “Ha Yu-jin.”

I guess my childhood friend wanted to hear my voice.

I’m a little concerned that I’m with Yoon Aram, but I don’t think it really matters.

It’s not like I did anything I couldn’t do.

“Aram, I need to take a call for a moment.”

“Oh, yeah.”

After asking for Yoon A-ram’s understanding, I immediately answered the phone.

Then Ha Yu-jin’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone.

“Lee Seo-ha-.”

The way he was extending his tail seemed like he was trying to be cute.

Did anything change in your mind after having your first relationship?

I like it because it seems like I’m becoming more and more lovable.

“Yeah, Eugene.”

At the word Eugene, Yoon Aram’s gaze suddenly turned to me.

But those eyes were quite harsh.

It’s only natural that you get a call from another woman while on a date.

“It’s nothing special, but I was wondering what to do.”

“I came out for a bit because I had an appointment.”

“Oh, you had plans. Then I didn’t interrupt you?”

I could feel regret and apology at the same time in Ha Yu-jin’s voice.

That was when.

Suddenly, Yoon Aram linked arms with me.

The soft and smooth feel on my elbows is really nice.

Are you trying to brag to Ha Yu-jin?

Or maybe you don’t want to get me stolen?

I was so happy that either way, I was jealous.

By the way, what have I ever done for Yoon Aram?

The only thing I remember is that he lent me a pen when I was taking the exam.

I don’t know what it is about me that makes you fall in love with me.

Well, whatever the reason, what matters is that she likes me.

So much so that I was jealous of other women.

“Why are you stopping me? I don’t think so.”

I feel a little sorry for Yoon A-ram, but I can’t give up on Ha Yu-jin either.

If I hadn’t been planning on carrying everyone in the first place, I wouldn’t have even tried.

“What are you talking about… . Hurry up and hang up and play.”

I only revealed a little bit of my feelings, but Ha Yu-jin responded with her signature tsundere-like ticking response.

Although she may not be as honest as Yoon Aram, she still has her own cuteness.

How can I hate this?

All the heroines have such different charms, so there’s no way I can pick just one.

“Okay, see you tomorrow at the Academy.”

“Okay, I’ll hang up.”

That was my last conversation with Ha Yu-jin.

As I put my phone back in my pocket, I felt Yoon Aram strengthening her arm.

“Seoha, what’s your relationship with Eugene?”

Yoon Aram asked with narrowed eyes.

The time has finally come.

I always thought that one day I would hear this question, but I never dreamed that it would come so soon.

“Why? If I have something to do with Eugene, you’ll hate me?”

I didn’t panic, but rather went out strong.

It’s a memory I hate to recall, but in the original, Yoon A-ram loved Kim Sun-woo until the end, even when he was hanging out with other women.

So even if I come out strong, she won’t be able to abandon me.

But I’m not like those trash guys.

He treated Yoon Aram like cold rice, but I plan to love her just like everyone else.

I can’t make the woman I like unhappy.

“… That’s not it.”

As expected, Yoon Aram couldn’t leave me in the end.

To be honest, it’s so single-minded that you could almost call it foolish.

But that’s the good part.

“If you like me and I like you, isn’t that enough?”

“… Cowardly.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Yoon Aram pouts.

I lightly patted her head like that.

We started walking down the street aimlessly, arm in arm.

The weather was chilly until recently, but now spring has arrived and it is quite warm.

“Does Eugene know you’re doing this?”

Suddenly, Yoon Aram asked.

He didn’t look too upset, either because his emotions had subsided while he was walking or because he was hiding them.

“Well, won’t we find out someday?”

“What? Why are you so clueless? I thought you had some way to go since you spoke so confidently.”

It’s a little different from having no plan.

Because I am confident that something will work out.

Clearly, in the original work, the heroines became Kim Seon-woo’s harem.

Then again, it could be my harem too.

All that remains is up to my own efforts.

So I can say it with confidence.

“Don’t worry, everything will work out somehow.”

Yeah, you can think about it later.

For that purpose, we are in the process of building a tower step by step.

So for now, just enjoy this time purely.

“I can’t believe it… .”

Yoon Aram squinted her eyes and glared at me.

Of course I wasn’t serious, it was a joke.

So I took it as a joke.

“What if you don’t believe me?!”

“Huh?! Isn’t that a bit much?!”

Soon we burst into laughter at the same time.

Absolutely no worries.

How much time has passed like that?

“Then I guess I should go back soon.”

As I was walking aimlessly, the sun was slowly setting.

Even though we were together all day today, I felt sad when we had to part ways.

And it seems I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.

“Something’s a pity.”

Yoon Aram pouts.

Then, as if expressing regret, he held my hand.

There’s nothing we can do about it right now, but if we start living together, everything will be okay.

Until then, I guess I’ll have to endure it for a bit even though it’s regrettable.

Finally, a taxi arrived, and I was about to get into it.

side-.

Yoon Aram kissed my cheek and started running somewhere.

It seems like he’s running away because he’s embarrassed.

For a moment, I was flustered and just blankly stared at her back before bursting into laughter and getting into a taxi.

If you keep wagging your tail, you’ll regret it sooner or later.

Let’s see what happens on the bed.

* * * * *

The next day.

When I arrived at the infirmary to spend time with Chae Yeon-hee,

“Hey, do you want to play a game with me?!”

I got asked out on a date out of the blue.
