Head bowed low, bangs hanging like a curtain.

Blue eyes peeking through the gap, cheeks open.

Tight lower lip, rough breath leaking out little by little.

At first glance, he looks angry.

If you look closely, you can see Aki’s face filled with shame as he quietly looks down.

I tried to recall the situation.

What’s on my left arm is Aki’s waist.

The thing on my right arm is the condom that Aki bought.

The place is my house, just the two of us.

The outfit consisted of dolphin pants that completely exposed the smooth thighs and calves, and a crop top that showed all the way down to the navel.

… … If I were to judge this situation only with an objective perspective, without reflecting any of my selfish feelings.

At my house, when no one was there, Aki, who had changed into short clothes on purpose, was secretly seducing me by showing me the condom he had secretly bought by pretending it was a coincidence.

Is that kind of situation happening? … ?

“… … .”

gulp.

I passed Mokuldae without even realizing it.

Well, I don’t know if I’ve been through a similar situation or have dating experience.

There really isn’t one, not a single thing like that.

In this situation, I don’t know what to do.

‘Why don’t you try talking to me first? … Or, naturally, start with skinship?’

“… … .”

“… … .”

I never thought not having dating experience would be such a big barrier.

Although their skin is touching enough to clearly feel the good smell coming from Aki’s body.

With the condom in my hand, I couldn’t do anything and just swallowed dry saliva.

‘… … ah.’

Am I really stupid?

In the meantime, time continues to pass… … .

“… … .”

“… … .”

There is only a long silence between us.

If I had been a little more courageous or experienced, something would have already happened.

However, as I just said, I have no experience with mosol.

There is no way that I, who only had my first kiss a few days ago, could naturally lead in this confrontational situation.

‘… … but.’

But we can’t just sit still like this.

Aki did his best to lay the groundwork for me, but if he leaves me out because he has no experience, he isn’t a man… … ?

Even if the knife was not pulled out of my own volition, it is assumed that if a man pulls out a knife, he has to cut something.

I just made up my mind.

And then, I mustered up the courage to open my mouth.

“Hey, Aki… ?”

“… … !”

Aki, startled, raised his head.

‘First of all, put down the condom… .’

I made eye contact with Aki.

“Well, I… . I have no experience with this… .”

“… … Huh?”

“I may not be good at it, but I’ll still try my best. … Are you okay?”

“… … Ugh, eh… Ugh?!”

Grrr—!

Aki’s whole body trembled violently.

I thought Aki was doing this because he was embarrassed, or that he was nervous because it was his first time… … .

“… … Oh no! … No!”

“Huh? What isn’t it?”

“That, that, that, that, that… ! No, raguuut… !”

Aki violently lashed out with a face that looked like it was going to explode at any moment, then pushed me in the chest and took a step back.

‘It’s not like that…’ ?’

What does this mean?

I was dazed for a moment because Aki’s reaction was unexpected and I didn’t really understand why he was like this.

Aki covered her chest with one arm and pointed to the condoms lying on the table.

“Um, that… ! Atashi (me) didn’t buy it… !”

“Huh? Really?”

Then, why is it in the envelope?

When asked with just a look, Aki trembled as if she didn’t know, and then muttered.

“Boo, obviously… . Mama bought it and put it in without Atashi’s knowledge. Yes, definitely… !”

“… … No.”

Does that make sense?

I think I’m just doing this because I’m embarrassed.

The moment I seriously doubted it, what Aki said a moment ago passed through my mind.

‘Ah, now that I think about it… .’

I mentioned earlier that I went grocery shopping with my mother.

I didn’t pay much attention to it because it was just something I said in passing.

‘… … Oh, then.’

As a forgotten memory came back to me, this thought suddenly occurred to me.

Am I, on my own, thinking that Aki is seducing me, so I almost end up taking harsh action? … ?

“… … .”

Creepy.

Goosebumps appeared on my back.

Wow, I almost got into big trouble.

It’s a shame that I elicited a verbal response before moving my hand. I almost mistakenly thought Aki was seducing me, which led to a big accident.

“… … Ah, that was something like that.”

“Ugh, ugh! Like that… … .”

Perhaps thinking that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Aki gently lowers her arms that were covering her chest and begins to look at me.

My childhood friend was strangely shy and quite cute, but I couldn’t afford to pay attention to that because I almost made a big mistake.

Even though Aki was showing off her skin in a crop top and dolphin pants, a part of me thought, ‘I’m glad I didn’t make that mistake…’ All I can think is ‘.’

“… … .”

“… … .”

I am silent because I committed a mistake.

For some reason, Aki is silent while fiddling with one forearm.

There was a slightly awkward atmosphere between us as we remained silent.

“… … .”

“… … Woo, space~chan.”

“… … Uh, huh?”

“Yo, cooking… . Let’s start, shall we?”

“… … Ah.”

That’s right, we haven’t had dinner yet.

After coming back to my senses after being dazed, I cleared my throat a couple of times.

Yes, if you just keep quiet about how embarrassing and awkward it is, it will only get more awkward. I have to force myself to say something.

“Yes, please.”

“Ugh, okay… .”

“… … Can I help you with something?”

“Oh, no! Uju~chan, you can just stay… !”

“Ah, yes… ?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Awkward.

We’re having a conversation, but it’s extremely awkward for both Akina and me.

‘When it’s awkward like this… .’

My father said that everything will be resolved if we have a drink together. Too bad we can’t legally buy alcohol because we’re underage, right?

Well, that’s what it means. Even if I could buy it, I wouldn’t necessarily drink it. anyway… .

“Still, why should I just stay still…? . Um, I’ll set up spoons, drinking water, and drinks.”

Before Aki could reply, I moved my body first.

First, I took out my share and Aki’s cutlery and set them on the table.

Since Aki doesn’t like drinks that are too cold, I took out some bottled water to make it a little lukewarm and looked inside the refrigerator to see if there was anything else.

“Aki, do you like grape-flavored drinks?”

“Ah, yes! I like you, are you at home?”

“Yes, I opened the refrigerator and there were two. Shall I take it out? So you can cook while drinking?”

“Hmm… . No, I’ll drink it later while eating with Wooju~chan. Just leave it inside!”

As Aki likes grape-flavored drinks, his expression brightens as soon as he starts talking.

‘I think the atmosphere has been roughly restored to this extent… .’

Now all I have to do is regain my composure.

“Wooju~chan, can you tie the apron strings?”

Aki, who must have somehow managed to tie her hair up while talking to me, had already changed her hairstyle to a ponytail. She showed her back and spoke.

Touching the erector spinae with your hand seems to mean asking someone to come and help you quickly. I immediately walked closer to Aki.

“Are you done?”

“… … Wait a minute.”

I didn’t notice it when I saw it from afar.

Aki, surprisingly, you have a solid body.

I heard you were going on a diet, so I wondered if you had gained some weight these days… … . Now that I look at it, it doesn’t seem like that.

“That’s enough. Aki, you don’t have to lose weight, right?”

I tied it with a cute butterfly-shaped knot and patted my back to show that it was done.

Aki tilted her head back as if to check if it was tied well, but then turned it around with a satisfied smile.

“Hmph, thank you. But you have to lose a little bit. Compared to last year, I gained 1.5kg… .”

“You’re a little taller too. Isn’t it normal to gain that much weight?”

“Ugh, no. Until last year, even though I grew taller, my weight stayed the same. But this year it has strangely increased… !”

“Um, okay… ?”

There doesn’t seem to be any flab on either the front or the back, so I wonder where I gained weight.

As I was seriously contemplating while observing Aki’s smooth erector muscles, I suddenly lifted my gaze and looked at Aki’s back, humming, ‘Jeyuk, Jeyuk, Uju~-chan’s favorite Jeyuk~’.

Aki is a freshman in high school this year.

Compared to last year, when I was in my third year of middle school, certain body parts became more prominent.

That part of the body is the part that would have nothing to say even if Aki slapped her if she said it out loud.

Aki inherited a lot of French blood from his mother, so he always boasted a confident size, but it wasn’t to that level.

However, this year we may have encountered something unusual… … .

No matter whether you wear an apron or something else, it has grown to the point where things that shouldn’t be visible peek out from behind.

“Heheheung, heheheung~”

“… … .”

The reason why Aki gained weight.

as soon as. Maybe it’s because it’s so embarrassingly large… … ?

“Oh, Uju~chan?”

“… … Huh?”

“Teacher Yoona called me earlier and asked if it would be okay if tomorrow’s tutoring session was moved to this evening? So, Atashi said that Uju~chan got hurt a little at school, and he didn’t think he could do it today, so he asked how about Wednesday instead, so we moved it to Wednesday evening. Are you okay?”

“Ah, uh… .”

‘… … ‘I’m crazy.’

I can’t believe I have strange thoughts about Aki, who is so kind to me.

Let’s really reflect, universe… … .

* * *

“… … Yes, I enjoyed it!”

“I ate well… .”

Dinner is over.

The menu consisted of pork, various side dishes, and rice prepared by Aki herself.

Perhaps because Aki, who lives alone and is a better cook than me, cooked it himself, I ate almost all of it, including the rice and pork, as well as the side dishes consisting of ssam and vegetables.

‘Oh, it’s really delicious…’ .’

It feels really good to eat a proper meal after only eating ramen or half-cooked fried rice.

I cleaned up my seat and slowly got up from my seat.

“Aki, I will do the dishes, so give me the plate.”

“Oh, no. Can Atashi do it?”

“Still, I have to finish it. Just go and rest.”

If you make someone cook and then wash the dishes, that’s a really bad guy.

I strongly discouraged Aki from doing the dishes and made him sit on the sofa in the living room. After soaking the dishes in water, I took out the grape-flavored drink I had saved earlier from the refrigerator and brought it to him.

“Now, here.”

“Hmph, thank you. But Uju~chan doesn’t drink?”

“I’ll drink it after I finish washing the dishes, Aki, drink first.”

“Ugh, then… .”

Chiik-.

Gulp. Gulp.

Aki opened the can and sipped the drink.

“Wow, it’s amazing… .”

“Huh? What’s so amazing?”

“This drink is something different. It has a sharp, spicy scent… ?”

“Really? Is it carbonated… ?”

I glanced at the soda can that Aki was holding.

This is my first time seeing this brand.

It’s not like the commonly known Del Monte, but some kind of Yeongdong… . It seems to be written as follows.

Um, I’m not sure.

‘My parents bought it and left it behind before they went to America… .’

I’m sure your mom or dad knows what that is.

“Yes, it’s delicious… .”

Sip, sip, sip─.

Aki closes his eyes and savors the drink.

I watched from a little distance, then slowly turned around and came to the kitchen.

Let Aki have a drink and rest while I do my thing.

First, put on rubber gloves and then squeeze some detergent onto a green scrub brush.

If you scrub the surface to remove any grease, the dishwasher will take care of all the finishing touches.

‘If I didn’t have a dishwasher, washing dishes would have taken a very long time… ?’

Lately, I’ve been feeling like I have no talent for housework.

Cleaning that others say is done quickly takes a long time, and even simple dishwashing takes a long time.

Not to mention cooking… … .

“… … Let’s finish it quickly.”

Knock knock knock-.

I scrubbed the surface of the plate so hard that it made a noise.

One, two, three.

And now I’m going to scrub the fourth one.

I heard people’s footsteps coming from behind me.

‘… … Is it Aki?’

My hand stopped while scrubbing the plate.

I thought about turning around and pretending I knew, but I deliberately stayed still.

Aki is very playful, so if I pretend not to notice, he will sneak up on me to surprise me.

Then, I will aim for that time and surprise Aki.

‘Well, it’s perfect…’ .’

I came up with it, but it couldn’t be a perfect plan.

I pricked my ears, washed the dishes, and quietly waited for Aki to approach.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Light.

Light.

──It’s just a matter of time.

… … Is it now?

I thought it was time to turn around.

“Wooju~chan… ?”

No, I tried to turn around.

Even if Aki, who approached me without any intention of stopping the sound of my footsteps, didn’t suddenly hug my back, I probably would have succeeded.

‘… … ?!’

Suddenly, I was hugged from behind and given a back hug, so I lost my breath for a moment.

Coo, coo, coo.

“… … Wow.”

Something soft comes and touches my back.

It wasn’t an unfamiliar feeling anymore, but it was a bit of a familiar touch… … .

This soft, soft texture is not something you can endure even if you get used to it.

A docking with an ideal that no man can resist.

I achieved it from behind, so why not from the front… ? Even though I felt regretful, I opened my mouth.

“… … Aki?”

“Yes, Uju~chan… .”

Aki hugs me from behind and whispers to me in a soothing voice.

I was trying to answer while feeling the touch on the hard surface of my muscles with my whole body.

For a moment, I felt something strange.

“Yes, Uju~chan… . … Universe, chan.”

From Aki’s mouth, who keeps calling my name.

This is because I felt sweetness, spicyness, and harshness at the same time that cannot be explained in words.

“… … Aki.”

“Ugh… ?”

“Do you… .”

Oh, no.

I was about to ask, but stopped and took off the rubber gloves I was wearing on both hands.

It’s better to check directly than to ask. Thinking like that, I tapped the back of Aki’s hand with my bare hand.

“Aki, let go of this.”

“Ugh, why… ?”

“… … I want to see your face.”

“Hmph, Arase… .”

Slurp.

Aki let go of his hand.

Only then was I able to turn around and look directly at Aki’s face.

Cheeks are bright red.

“Ah, Uju~chan, where are you going… ?”

“… … Stay.”

The drink Aki drank is still on the table in front of the sofa in the living room.

I walked over to it and looked around the outside of the aluminum can.

[Youngdong Grape Bubble]

[Alcohol content 4%]

[Sales prohibited to minors under 19 years of age]

“… … .”

Prohibited for sale to minors.

That means… … .

“… … What, was this alcohol?”

Meaning it is a drink with added alcohol.

When I realized that, I gaped.

“Oh, was this alcohol~? Hmph, the taste was a bit strange for some reason~”

“… … No, what is this?”

Since my parents just left it behind, I thought it must have been a drink, but it turned out to be actually alcohol?

What a ridiculous situation… … .

“Ah, I’m thirsty… .”

Before I knew it, Aki had followed me and picked up the remaining can of soda.

And then I open the cap and take a sip.

I looked at him blankly, but belatedly came to my senses and grabbed his wrist.

“Now, wait a minute! Why are you drinking that again? ?!”

“Huh? Because I’m thirsty~?”

“Oh, no. Drink something else instead of this. Now, give it to me… .”

“… … No, Aki is going to drink this!”

Aki shook my hand away.

I was shocked by this for two reasons.

First, Aki, who had never done anything like this before, shook me off for the first time.

The other reason is that Aki got so drunk because of my carelessness.

I should have checked carefully before handing it to Aki… .

“… … Gulp, gulp. … Puhaa!”

Aki empties half of the can while he’s idly watching.

He must have quenched his thirst after drinking beer, and he looks at me with his signature bewitching smile.

“Wooju~chan, this is so delicious… . Ah, Uju~chan, do you want to drink together?”

I couldn’t laugh.

Of course, based on my experience during my third year of middle school.

Aki’s drinking capacity is very poor, and once he gets drunk, he cannot handle it on his own.

“What, I don’t drink, Uju~chan… ?”

“No, why did I… .”

“If you’re not going to drink, take off your pants… … !”

“… … .”

A crisis of my chastity.

“… … Eight!”

“Uh, uh… . Aki, why are you like this… ?”

“Atashi told you to take it off, but why didn’t you take it off quickly…? ?”

“No, Akiya, you shouldn’t do this… ouch! Really peeling, huh? It really peels off?!”

“I’m really telling you to take it off, you idiot… … !!”

No, a crisis has just arrived.
