The night became dark, and people began to disperse one by one to their respective places.

Couples looking for a hot night looked for lodgings to stay for the night.

After having a good time outside with their friends, the youth headed to their simple but cozy rooms.

Students who have not yet become independent and are preparing for the future will head to their parents’ homes.

And… the most notable among them are Choi Do-hyun and Jeong Ye-rin.

A visual that seems straight out of a cartoon.

The men gave him jealous looks, but none of them could look at him directly and only glanced at him.

They say bad men are popular among women these days, but are they talking about men who are that bad?

A combination that makes you think.

However, contrary to the thoughts of the passers-by, Jeong Ye-rin’s mind was extremely disturbed.

As time passed and my mind began to gradually stabilize, I slowly began to realize what kind of situation I was in.

1. I met another man over the weekend,

2. He went to an escape room cafe and created a controversial situation.

3. There was no significant rejection after that.

‘uh…?’

A feeling of intense guilt.

However, emotions do not operate through reason.

Rationally speaking, it could have been an accident, but her brain started to protect itself.

‘Yes, it was an accident… I don’t have any special feelings for him. Yeah, it’ll be okay…? No, should I be angry even now…?’

When she, who was confused, finally decided to say something to Choi Do-hyeon and turned her head.

“Why?”

I made eye contact with him and faced him with a grin and a natural question.

For a moment, the thought of questioning her disappeared.

‘Well, it’s strange to be angry now… Let’s say something next time something like this happens again.’

She passed that thought aside.

…I don’t know if I’ll really be able to say anything when that ‘next’ time comes.

For now, I decided to pass it on.

“How was today?”

“Well, well…”

She thought for a moment and spoke softly.

“..there was.”

“What?”

In a mumbling tone, Choi Do-hyeon asked back with a mischievous smile.

I found it ironic that he asked that question even though I clearly sensed that he was embarrassed to talk.

“..It was fun.”

“I can’t hear you well?”

However, I didn’t dislike it.

The most blunt conversation I had with him wasn’t bad.

“Ah, that was fun!”

“Quukkeut…”

Finally, after I shouted, I burst out laughing as if I had been waiting for a response from him.

When his reaction makes her laugh, or when his reaction makes her laugh.

Both were moments she enjoyed.

In particular, these small joys stood out even more because Kim Ha-ram and I had been maintaining an awkward atmosphere recently.

“Then, would you like to come again next time? The two of us.”

“Huh?”

“Why, you can come out with friends.”

She closed her eyes for a moment.

‘…friend.’

Yes, maybe we could come out to have some fun with friends.

If you agree with that statement, you two will be able to hang out in the future.

Of course, there is no rational attraction at all.

Not at all, not at all.

It’s fun to play together, and we seem to agree when we talk.

“..Like that.”

“Okay, I’ll contact you again next time. I won’t disturb your date, so don’t worry.”

I don’t even have to worry about interfering with my relationship with Haram.

‘If it’s like this, I guess it’s really okay…?’

Before they knew it, they were in a familiar neighborhood.

“This is my first time walking here with my senior. I always walked with Yeeun.”

“Is that so?”

For a moment, there was a slight blemish on my happy mood.

‘It seems like Ye-eun likes him…’

She saw her sister blush at the thought of him.

Before greeting Choi Do-hyun, she fixes her makeup several times and thinks about what clothes to wear.

More than anything, the sweet look in her eyes as she looked at him was clear evidence.

Likewise, the smile that reminded me of the time I walked here with her gave rise to an inexplicable feeling of displeasure.

“Yes. Originally, Ye-eun and I broke up around that time, but we are slowly splitting up as well.”

“Okay. Goodbye.”

“See you next time.”

“Because I saw what you were doing.”

“It’s like that until the end. I heard it was fun.”

“Noisy. I’ll go.”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

“Why, again?”

When he caught her turning around, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.

“Let’s take a picture.”

“Photo…?”

“Yes. Just like I filmed at the movie theater last time.”

“I don’t like it.”

“Good. Give me your cell phone.”

She followed his words.

Strangely, I wanted to listen to his words after he said them every once in a while.

Is it because the reaction was so intense?

“Let’s join hands.”

“Can’t you just take the picture from a bit further away?”

“Yes. Look at the camera.”

He pulled her reluctant shoulder.

‘..You’re strong.’

Even though I applied some force to keep from being pulled, it was pulled helplessly and ended up in his arms.

“Ja, kimchi.”

He looked at the camera screen and smiled.

After a while, a smile appeared on her face.

“Send me a photo.”

“I don’t like it.”

“If you want to keep it alone for a long time, you can do that.”

“Ugh, I’ll send it to you.”

“Just send it all at once.”

The photo shoot was over, and the conversation between the two was not very friendly.

However, the smile she had when taking the picture still remained on her lips.

She didn’t even try to hide it.

She was… thoroughly enjoying this time.

.

.

After breaking up with him.

When her younger sister asked her what she was doing, she gave an appropriate answer and returned to the room.

It was a moment when it clearly occurred to me that my younger sister had been meeting the man she liked, secretly from her boyfriend.

Between sisters who usually do not lie to each other, lies were thrown around.

Something that looked like a heavy rock was caught.

And, there was the pleasure of squeezing out of that rock.

‘Whoa….’

Of course, hanging out with ‘friends’ is not something to be reprimanded for.

However… I don’t want our relationship to fall apart due to a needless misunderstanding.

‘Let’s write a diary…’

Writing a diary at night can help you deal with your excited or depressed emotions.

She wrote in her diary only when she was happy, so she just had to control her excitement.

Sararak, Sararak.

The pages of the diary turned.

The diary I looked through was full of memories with Kim Ha-ram.

She took the pen and paused for a moment.

I was reluctant to write another man’s story in a diary full of memories with Kim Ha-ram.

‘…no. It’s just a record book. Yeah, it was fun, right? ‘Let’s not attach too much meaning to it.’

The worry was short-lived.

Anyway, there is no doubt that it was fun.

Slowly, today was engraved one letter at a time on the blank paper.

Don’t go into too much detail…

Just about who I went with and where I went. Briefly describe how you felt today.

She wrote down today’s diary and read it again from the top.

‘..Yeeun won’t see this, right?’

She kept the diary somewhere on a bookshelf, not on the desk where she usually kept the diary.

To prevent the unfortunate incident of Ye-eun coming in and opening the diary out of curiosity.

Of course, it can be said with certainty that there is absolutely no rational attraction…!

However, they had no intention of spreading their secret relationship to others.

‘Yeeun… this is for you…’

Yes, to find out if her sister likes strange people.

It is not an affair or a betrayal.

She was just doing her duty as a sister and family member.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed like it fit the rules.

My heart felt a little lighter.

Squeaking, I opened the door and went out to the water purifier.

-Dohyun, what did you do today?

A voice came from my brother’s slightly open room.

The man she called every night with a happy smile on her face had been in close contact with her until a few hours ago, and had even taken a picture of her in his arms just moments before.

‘ha…’

The pleasure that felt like an addiction grew a little more. I felt like the chains of my mind that were bound by the rules were being released.

-Oh… you were just at home? I did that too…

Fortunately, he also didn’t seem to have any intention of talking about what happened with her.

She felt relieved and started moving again.

Suddenly, cold water flowed into the cup.

The freshly poured cold water went down my esophagus, quenching my thirst and giving me a feeling of refreshment.

While drinking water, she looked again at the photo she had taken earlier.

“…Huh.”

Proud? satisfaction?

The emotion is somewhere there.

Unlike the last photo, this time it was better to see both of them smiling.

“Sister, what are you enjoying so much?”

‘omg..!’

After a short phone call, her younger brother approached her.

She quickly covered her phone screen.

“Ah.. just shorts.”

“Aha.”

Fortunately, Jeong Ye-eun didn’t show much interest and headed to the bathroom.
