The day Jeong Ye-eun invited me to her house.

In other words, it’s her birthday.

I packed up the gifts I had prepared last time and headed out of the house.

‘I told you to come by 12:30, so… that would be appropriate.’

Perhaps due to global warming, the weather was quite hot even though it was not yet mid-summer.

The sun was heating the ground strongly.

In the original, her birthday was one of the important events.

In addition to Jeong Ye-eun and her family, Moon Jeong-woo and Kim Ha-ram also gathered to congratulate her.

In this episode, the parents went out for a while after the meal, creating a situation like a double date.

Where originally only six people gathered, now seven people, including me, will gather.

Ding dong, I put my finger on the doorbell button that I had pressed several times and pushed it.

-Chiek… Yerin, is there anyone else coming?

An unpleasant voice was heard.

No, it would be correct to say that it is the voice of a person in a bad mood.

It seems that Kim Haram arrived first.

Since I was out of sight of the intercom camera, he didn’t know who I was.

-uh! Open it. One more person decided to come.

-okay…?

After a while, the door lock was opened.

“Come on… What is it, Choi Do-hyun? Why are you here?”

As soon as Kim Haram saw me, he frowned.

“I came because I was invited by Yeeun.”

I waved the paper bag containing the gift.

“Ye-eun wants a girl like you?”

He looked me up and down, then continued talking while maintaining a dumb expression.

‘A boy like you’… is a pretty way to say something.

“Why..?”

“Why… Is there a reason why I need to explain that to my senior?”

I said with a grin.

For a moment, he froze. It seemed like he didn’t expect me to come out like this.

“What did you just say?”

“Didn’t you hear? Get out of the way. Let’s go in.”

Anyway, there are only two of us in the entrance hall right now.

No matter what I say, only the two of us can hear it anyway.

No matter what we do, it will only remain in our memories.

A good image has been planted for Jeong Ye-rin and Jeong Ye-eun, as well as their parents.

Of course, Kim Haram’s public image is also good… but at least, he

‘This bastard is spoiled-‘

Even if he tries to play politics, he will not be easily stopped.

As I entered the front door, I tapped his shoulder.

“Hey. Choi Do-hyeon.”

“Oh, sorry.”

After saying that, I tapped the person who bumped into me on the shoulder a couple of times.

‘Ah, it’s thrilling.’

In the early days of Possession, it was almost when I first talked to Kim Ha-ram.

He tapped me on the shoulder and walked past.

At that time, I felt like I had to pay it back, but now I’m finally doing it.

I felt like my stomach was being relieved.

Starting from today, Haram Kim will become more and more uncomfortable and I will become more and more comfortable.

Jeong Ye-rin’s scales began to tip, and the time for him to fall away was approaching.

“You…”

When he gets angry,

“Yeeun! I’m here!”

“Ah, Dohyeon!”

I called Jeong Ye-eun.

I heard her approaching footsteps.

“Senior. You have to laugh, right? There are other people too.”

“You…”

He glared at me.

I smiled at him and headed inside.

I look forward to it, senior.

Because unimaginable things will continue to happen in the future…

“Are you here? It was hot on the way there! Come here and get some fresh air from the air conditioner.”

She welcomed me like a wife taking care of her husband when he came home from work.

Now that summer had come, she was wearing quite cool clothes.

The top was a boxy short-sleeved T-shirt, and the bottoms were short shorts.

I could see long white legs stretching out from under the pants.

I could see his smooth skin without any blemishes, and I liked the smile on his face as soon as he saw me.

“Huh? What is this?”

“Your gift.”

“Uh…?”

Her eyes widened.

He invited me without telling me what day it was, but he seemed surprised that I had prepared a gift.

“It’s your birthday. Take it.”

“Oh, no… it’s okay…”

“If you don’t accept it, where can I use it? Take it.”

“Huh…? Is this… cosmetics..?”

“uh.”

She carefully held the cosmetics box she took out of the paper bag with both hands and smiled at me.

“Thank you, Dohyun! I just happened to need it… I’ll put it to good use!”

“Okay.”

“Ah, sit over there and wait a little while with Jungwoo! Lunch will be ready soon.”

“Okay.”

She hummed, picked up the box, and headed to her room.

Kim Ha-ram was also seen entering Jeong Ye-rin’s room.

After briefly saying hello to Jeong Ye-eun and Jeong Ye-rin’s parents, I turned to Moon Jeong-woo, who was sitting on the sofa.

“Hey, Moon Jeong-woo.”

“You, you are here too… Hello.”

And, he quietly added a word.

“Ye-eun is nice so I told her to come once… but she really came without me noticing… ”

However, I heard it in my ears.

“What, you bastard?”

“Ah, I didn’t say anything… Is this the first time Ye-eun has come to my birthday..?”

“But?”

“I, I was with Yeeun every year on her birthday…”

He said in a hushed voice.

‘…whatever?’

How should I react?

He was emphasizing his relationship with her, as he had done before.

There’s a wall between me and him that I can’t jump over.

It seemed to be shouting that there was a solid wall built by time.

‘Then what are you doing…’

You’re almost done already.

I just felt sorry for him who was holding out hope alone without knowing that fact.

I looked at him with pity.

When I didn’t say anything, he squared his shoulders as if he thought he had won.

Even though he had narrow shoulders, he seemed proud of the conversation we had just had.

He was satisfied with it by his own standards, just as extremely timid people are proud of having achieved what they wanted by talking to a restaurant clerk.

“..As expected… Ye-eun… suits me better…”

He turned his head and muttered to himself.

Geumtaeyang’s excellent hearing caught it.

Right now, he must be thinking that he is a really cool person.

A hero who proudly stands up to evildoers and saves his woman.

A superman on a white horse who rides through the vast wilderness against oppression.

It may be an image of himself drawn in his mind.

In reality, he is a man who runs the happiness circuit alone while maintaining checks that do not work.

After a brief greeting with him, we were told that lunch was ready and we sat down around the table.

If the shape of the table is a rectangle with long horizontal sides, Jeong Ye-eun sat on the vertical side.

Jeongwoo Moon and I were sitting right next to each other, facing each other.

Kim Ha-ram and Jeong Ye-rin faced each other, Jeong Ye-rin sat next to me, and Kim Ha-ram sat next to Moon Jeong-woo.

Jeong Ye-eun’s parents filled the remaining seats.

However, there was no rice bowl in front of them.

This is because originally they only said hello and went out separately to eat.

It was a kind of consideration to spend time with children of similar age.

“Well, thank you all for coming to celebrate our Yeeun’s birthday.”

Her mother spoke.

A cake was placed in front of Jeong Ye-eun, and two large candles were placed on it.

Although we sat down together, there were some awkward moments… and the atmosphere wasn’t easy.

I smiled and said to Jeong Ye-eun.

“Hey. Shall I sing a song?”

“Ah, that’s enough. I’m now 20, what kind of song is…”

She was embarrassed, but I didn’t care and started singing happy birthday.

In a situation like this where everyone can’t talk easily, it’s important to get a start.

“Happy birthday~”

As soon as I started singing, the rest of the people immediately started singing along.

“Dear Yeeun, happy birthday!”

Last lyrics.

I put special emphasis on ‘dear’ so she could hear me better.

Part of the build-up through minor hints.

When the song ended, she blew out the candle, closed her eyes lightly, and made a wish.

“What did you wish for?”

“Hehe, secret.”

“So.”

She also spoke to me with the corners of her mouth raised.

“Okay, I haven’t prepared anything, but everyone eat deliciously and have fun! We’ll be leaving in a bit, so don’t worry.”

Starting with my mother’s words, the dining area began to become active in earnest.

Kim Ha-ram and Moon Jeong-woo looked at me with hostile eyes.

**

Today is without a doubt the happiest day among the many birthdays I have had.

‘Dohyeon…’

I called his name in my heart.

Even before he came, I spent a long time in front of the mirror.

Did the clothes I wore match well and did my makeup fall off?

And after he arrived, I couldn’t help but regret my decision to invite him.

I didn’t intentionally mention that it was my birthday, but they prepared a gift for me and sang me a happy birthday song first.

No, just the fact that I saw his face and received his congratulations on a good day was enough.

While singing.

I think the words ‘I love Ye-eun’ were especially loud from Do-hyeon.

Is it because I was focused?

Of all the birthday greetings and songs I’ve heard, this was the one I liked the most.

It was definitely the best day.

My precious older sister and close childhood friend since childhood.

And, it’s a day when the man I like is with me.
