“What’s your phone number?”
When I asked a question about Yunseol’s sudden remark, Yunseol hurriedly continued speaking as if making an excuse.
“Oh, I was treated to dinner today, and the villains are dangerous these days, and it’s good to contact you when something like this happens… ”
Yunseol covers her face with her hands.
Through the gap between their hands, a voice leaked out along with a sigh filled with hot heat.
“… You don’t like it?”
“Oh, no way!”
A loud noise came out without me knowing.
Yunseol smiles bashfully at the sight of me like that.
‘… What should I do? It’s a tree I can’t climb.’
The flowers on that tree are so pretty.
Enough to make you lose your mind without even realizing it.
“That, that… I, I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just that I don’t have many friends.”
She then added, “Be my friend.”
Yunseol’s face was flushed red enough to be visible from the apartment hallway below.
“… .”
To be honest, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited.
I can feel my heart pounding right now.
‘Friend. We’re friends. Come to your senses.’
If someone saw me, they’d think I’d gotten a confession.
I tried to regain my composure as much as possible and spoke to Yunseol.
“Can I give you my number?”
“… Yes.”
Yunseol nods his head faintly at my words.
After that, I took the cell phone she handed me and entered my phone number with trembling hands.
“Thank you. Okay, then. Get some rest.”
When I returned the phone, she quietly thanked me.
And then Yunseol turned her back on me and ran down the apartment stairs.
“Hoo… .”
I’m going crazy. Really.
.
After exchanging numbers with Yunseol, what greeted me when I returned home was…
“… .”
… Gia looked like she was in a bad mood.
“Jia, what’s wrong?”
“… Just.”
Zia turns her head away from my eyes.
Then, Jia’s mouth, which had been closed for a while, opened slightly.
“You like Yoonseol that much? Your mouth is completely covered with your eyes.”
“Huh?”
Is that it? By the way. Is that why you were a little upset?
‘… .’
Of course it’s not jealousy. If so, then surely…
‘You don’t think I’m offended, do you?’
Let’s think about it objectively.
He looks a little better, but he still has a haggard look to him. His hair is still messy.
In addition, a twenty-eight-year-old man comes into the house with a big smile on his face.
‘… Are you feeling bad?’
“Huh, huh? Sir. What’s wrong all of a sudden? Are you dizzy?”
“No.”
As I held my head with my hands in self-loathing, Jia came towards me, thinking I was dizzy.
The sight was so striking that I absentmindedly placed my hand on Zia’s head.
“…Suddenly, what are you doing?”
“Just because I’m curious.”
Zia flinches slightly when my hand touches her.
But soon, she gently placed her head in my hands.
“… .”
As I was feeling a strange emotion upon seeing that sight, Jia spoke in a slightly blunt tone.
“Really, what if you touch a girl’s hair without permission? Girls don’t like that kind of thing.”
“… Sorry.”
“I didn’t tell you to apologize… I told you not to do that to other women. They’d hate it.”
Seeing Jia twitching slightly, I snickered and stroked her head a little more vigorously.
“Oh, my hair is messy!”
I finally got divorced.

Meanwhile, Yun Seol.
“♫ ”
After exchanging numbers with Dohan and just leaving the apartment complex, she was very excited.
To what extent?
‘… The moon is pretty.’
The moon floating quietly in the night sky,
So much so that it felt like a spotlight was shining on me.
Why am I so excited?
Just by getting the phone number of Dohan, who is the object of your ‘interest’?
Or maybe it’s your first time having dinner with Dohan?
Or maybe because you saw Dohan’s face slightly red as he gave you his phone number?
“Hehehe.”
A, Deux, Three, One, Two, Three.
Yunseol, unable to control his excitement, walks forward with brisk steps to the rhythm.
Of course, the movements are messy.
If you look down on it, it’s a dead end.
But if someone saw such a mess of movements, they would have thought that even such a messy movement was like a ballet movement.
“♫♩♬~”
Her golden hair flutters. One, two. In time with the steps.
The moonlight also shatters brilliantly, like gold dust sparkling on the riverbank.
The most romantic night ever. At least it was for her.
’You’re friends with the boss.’
Yunseol was walking down the street, holding the cell phone containing Dohan’s contact information in her arms.
‘What should I send as my first text?’
Since it’s a feature phone, I guess she won’t do things like Instagram. She does have a store account though─She was thinking the same thing, but she couldn’t help but look around…
Bam.
… I ended up not seeing the person coming from the other side and ended up bumping into his shoulder.
Unlike Yunseol, who lost her balance slightly, the opponent fell so hard that he fell on his butt.
“Uh, uh… Sorry! I walked without seeing ahead… .”
Yunseol immediately bowed and apologized, then helped her stand up again.
“It’s okay… I couldn’t see ahead either. Ouch… .”
The other person, who should have been angry, gladly took Yunseol’s extended hand, saying it was okay.
She then got up with Yunseol’s help and shook the dust off her clothes.
“… I’m so sorry.”
“Ah. That could be true. Don’t be so sorry… Hmm?”
The other person stares at Yunseol’s face without saying a word.
In accordance with that, Yunseol also faced the other person,
‘… You have purple hair, you’re pretty.’
In her heart, such a sentiment blossomed naturally.
Her face illuminated under the dim light of the streetlight.
The piercing is a little scary, but… even aside from that, he doesn’t look like a normal person.
‘I wonder if I can become a model.’
Around the time when Yunseol was having such feelings,
“… By any chance, Hero Yunseol?”
The person whose eyes had been wide open at the sight of her slowly opened his mouth.
“Ah.”
Yunseol let out a small exclamation as she realized that she was not wearing the hood that usually covered her face, but rather her everyday clothes.
‘What should I do?’
Actually, it’s not a big deal that she was caught being a prostitute.
She’s human too. She didn’t really commit a crime.
but…
‘Did you happen to see me dancing?’
Yunseol, whose thoughts had reached that point, glanced at the woman in front of him.
“Oh my god. Your face is so small. Your eyelashes are long, and you look like a doll… .”
A woman muttering something as if she has lost her mind.
‘You haven’t seen it… right?’
While Yunseol was feeling relieved, the woman took out her cell phone from her pocket and said.
“Could you please take a picture with me?”
“Ah. Yes. If that’s the case… .”
After a while, a woman holding a cell phone approached Yunseol.
The faces of two people appear side by side on the screen.
Yunseol, who was looking at her own face on the screen with a slightly awkward smile, suddenly…
‘Oh.’
…he noticed that the scent of the woman facing him sounded slightly familiar.
The faint scent of blueberries wafts from her hair.
‘It’s the same as the boss…’
Hey. No way.
“Thank you! Then, take care!”
After that, she greets Yunseol and walks away leisurely.
…She soon entered the apartment complex where Yunseol had just left.
‘Blueberry flavor seems to be popular these days.’
In that way, Yunseol pushed the uneasiness that had been lingering in her chest to a far corner.
“♩♬ ♫~”
…she began to take brisk steps again.

“Jia, calm down.”
“… I’m not angry. I’ll watch TV.”
Is it because I stroked his head too much?
Jia is still in a sharp state.
At that time, I was kneeling next to Gia and watching TV.
Beep. Beep.
I heard the sound of someone pressing the door lock password from the front door,
“Oppa! Jia! I’m here!”
Minah’s voice, slightly reminded of the above, was heard.
Thud thud.
After that, Mina quickly came to where Jia and I were.
“Jia… Hey. What’s with your expression? Did you miss me a lot, Unnie?”
“Sister… .”
“By the way, oppa. How are you feeling… Hmm? Why are you kneeling?”
I spoke while avoiding Jia’s eyes, who was glaring at me, while hugging Minah.
“Just… . By the way, isn’t it a little late?”
Mina frowns slightly at my question.
“… People kept bothering me there. So I had no choice but to just eat dinner and come back. Of course, I declined the after-party. ”
“Ahh.”
“Sister. I can’t breathe… .”
Min-ah, who had been holding onto Jia for a long time despite her pleas, suddenly opened her eyes as if something had come to mind.
“Oh right. Oppa, Ji-ah. I saw Hero Yoon-seol on my way here?! Look at this.”
Min-ah eventually takes out her cell phone from her pocket and shows him a picture she took with him.
‘Come to think of it, Min-ah has never met Yun-seol.’
Last time when Jia was kidnapped, I kept it a secret from Min-ah that Yoon-seol and Hwa-young helped her.
If that happens, I’ll have to tell Jia what happened to her… but Jia doesn’t want that.
“Huh? Why are you both reacting like that? Isn’t it strange?”
“Actually… ”
I told Minah what happened this evening,
“… That’s too much.”
After that, Ji-ah and I had to sweat profusely trying to calm down Min-ah, who was upset and asked why we didn’t tell her.
.
And that night.
After taking a quick shower to cool down, I lay down on the bed and stared at my feature phone.
Looking at the phone number I received from Yunseol earlier this evening.
‘… Should I text first?’
What if it becomes too burdensome?
No. What. We’re friends. It’s texting between friends.
I don’t even know what to send in the first place.
Thank you for coming today? Or, is it an honor to have you as my friend?
“… Let’s close it.”
I placed my feature phone on the bedside table and closed my eyes again.
Of course, I couldn’t sleep.
I slept all day, and when I thought about what happened that evening, I would feel a little excited and open my eyes on my own.
“I’m not a teenager or anything. Phew.”
At that moment, while I was mocking myself and trying to force myself to fall asleep,
Tiring
─The alarm on the feature phone that was left on the bedside rang.
I reached out and picked up my feature phone, then checked who had sent the text.
It was Yun Seol.
[Thank you for inviting me to dinner tonight. Get well soon, boss.]
‘What did you expect, Dohan?’
Looking at the content of the message, which was written in somewhat formal language, I was a little disappointed…
“… But who did it first?”
I sent a short reply saying, “Thank you,” and closed my eyes again.
“… .”
It was a summer night, and my heart was somewhat excited.
