Lim Chae-won and Choi Do-hyeon walked together at night.

The moon gave off a soft white light,

They took the subway, returned to their area, and were in the final stage of their date.

‘I don’t want to let it go like this…’

Although the night has become quite late, Lim Chae-won doesn’t want to break up with Choi Do-hyun.

“Hey, Dohyun.”

“Yes?”

“My sister will take you today! You always did it for me.”

It was a sudden offer, but I believed he would accept it.

He always noticed what I wanted and did it.

“Ah… that’s a bit… sorry.”

However, the answer that came back from him was rejection.

She freezes for a moment.

“Huh? Why..?”

I couldn’t figure out why.

He also reflected on whether there was something that made him uncomfortable.

“Ah… Well, I don’t want to show you the neighborhood I live in…”

He, who was always confident, looked slightly withdrawn.

‘why…?’

She looked at him with questioning eyes.

“..Really not possible?”

“Phew.. Okay. Instead… after watching it… Ha, no.”

Following his lead, she walked forward.

The closer I got to the neighborhood where he lived, the more I could understand what he meant.

Slums, slums.

It was a neighborhood that could be defined in those words.

From the beginning, it was different from her neighborhood.

There was a foul smell that I had never smelled before.

“This is…”

Under the telephone pole, there was dried vomit that could have been made by someone.

Various trash was seen near the sewer where the water should drain, and cigarette butts were scattered on the floor.

There was a musty atmosphere in the neighborhood itself.

Clink.

There was the sound of a plate breaking somewhere.

After that, a woman wrote something evil.

“…This is why I didn’t want to bring him.”

He muttered quietly.

Lim Chae-won looked at him quietly.

When our eyes met, he smiled and said as if he was embarrassed.

“I’m sorry.”

“What?”

“I showed you something like this… kinda, right?”

“…….”

She didn’t answer anything.

His eyes were trembling as he smiled bitterly.

I didn’t like the idea of rashly talking to him and ending up saying something worse than not saying anything.

Calmly, she chose her words.

“How do you feel? Still… you want to be close to me. Do you still have that feeling?”

It was a question I was afraid of breaking the relationship.

Perhaps, the question stems from his experience.

If I had other friends, they would have experienced this and stayed away from him.

She thought about it.

Just because he lives in a bad neighborhood, does it make you want to get away from him?

‘No way.’

All I can think of is,

‘It will be dangerous.’

‘Should I ask him to move near my house?’

‘As for money… if you ask your mom to help you with your future son-in-law… hehe.’

It was just the same things.

I liked him too much to stay away due to economic factors.

Even that was something she could solve, so I didn’t feel like I wanted to move away from her at all.

She smiled and opened her mouth.

“Yes, I have no intention of going away from you.”

“…”

“I hang out with you because it’s fun. It’s not like you suddenly treat me badly when you find out you don’t have a lot of money.”

“That’s right…”

“So, it doesn’t matter. Whether you have a lot of money or not. I’ll be by your side.”

After speaking, she looked at his reaction.

Maybe I said something presumptuous.

‘Now, wait a minute. Isn’t this almost a confession…?’

I’ll continue to be by your side…? This comment…

Isn’t this almost a proposal-like sentence?

‘I didn’t mean it that way… but what if I feel burdened? Did I say this for no reason? ‘Ugh, can I cancel?’

In an instant, her mind became confused.

-pook

“Uh…?”

What broke her thoughts was Choi Do-hyun’s hug.

“Thank you.”

He warmly hugged her with both arms and whispered to her with all his emotions.

Seeing how he behaved naturally, fortunately, it didn’t seem like he took it as a confession.

“There were really only a few people who said that after seeing this…”

After a while.

He got off her.

An unexpected blow… no, after receiving an unexpected hug, her face had an indescribable expression.

“Do you want to go to dinner?”

“Dinner?”

“This is the restaurant run by the grandfather who raised me.”

He pointed with his finger to the glass door next to it.

“Well, you should say that quickly..!”

She quickly took out her phone and looked at herself.

A similar reaction to Jeong Ye-eun.

“I’m here!”

“Okay, dinner… who is over there?”

As the old man came out from inside the restaurant, he saw Lim Chae-won, who had just finished remodeling.

“Oh, I’m a senior from the academy club.”

“Hello! My name is Do-hyeon’s senior Lim Chae-won!”

After answering that, he took a step closer to the old man and whispered.

“I told you so. I’m popular. Are you going to bring four girlfriends each?”

“…was it real?”

“Well, I can’t trust people.”

“But… you are a senior, right? Why did you come here because you lured a child…”

“Be careful. That sister really hates saying things like that.”

“Hmm…”

He tilted his head and disappeared into the kitchen.

After a while, a meal for two was served to them as they sat on the chairs.

Beef radish soup, kimchi, and various vegetables.

The main dish was decent Korean food, including stir-fried pork.

“I will eat well..!”

“Hehe, enjoy it.”

After serving the food, he went straight into the room prepared in the restaurant.

“Please eat.”

“Yes.”

So, they had dinner alone.

There was no fancy food. There was no romantic atmosphere with wine.

It was a place where there were no restaurants overlooking the city on high rises and no burning candles.

However, those things were not important to Lim Chae-won.

As long as it was Choi Do-hyun who was eating food facing her, it seemed like she wouldn’t have any regrets even if she only drank a glass of water.

After breaking up with Choi Do-hyun.

Lim Chae-won returned to his home.

No matter how much I exercised, I was afraid of the neighborhood atmosphere because I was alone, but fortunately I didn’t encounter any dangerous-looking people.

She leaves the dark alley and returns to her safe neighborhood.

After pressing the password for the common entrance and unlocking the front door, I was able to enter my comfortable home.

‘You gained some points, right…?’

Judging by Choi Do-hyun’s positive reaction, it seemed clear that he had left a good impression.

If we move closer like this, one day…

**

Jeong Ye-rin started preparing for her date with Choi Do-hyun early in the morning.

I showered carefully and washed my hair.

I also added a light spray of perfume to add scent.

What should I wear, what kind of face should I face?

I don’t think I’ve ever been as worried as I am now.

Maybe it was because I was fighting with Kim Haram, but I actually felt more at ease.

I even felt like I was preparing for a date with Kim Haram.

The excitement and tension at that time enveloped my heart.

What should I do so that my partner looks at me favorably?

What should I do… to make him blush while looking at me?

The more time I spent with Kim Ha-ram, the more my liking for Choi Do-hyun grew.

There is no need to say anything when spending time with Choi Do-hyun.

‘I shouldn’t do this… Ye-eun likes him…’

I was thinking about it, but my heart didn’t follow.

Instead of her brother, she herself wanted to stand by his side.

It had been a long time since her diary gradually began to be filled with Choi Do-hyeon, and so did her photo album.

Now, there is no longer any need to look at Kim Ha-ram’s face.

I keep looking at the photo I took with Choi Do-hyun.

I think back and think I should have smiled a little more.

Even though I was with Kim Haram now, I wasn’t excited.

Lately, we’ve been fighting, and even though we tried to resolve things positively, it didn’t work out.

What if I’m with Choi Do-hyun?

My heart was pounding constantly and I became nervous.

You wish his hands could touch your body.

At times like that, I loved the warmth against my skin, and the feeling of him wanting me was addictive.

I tried to reduce the ticking behavior, but it wasn’t easy.

Rather, that was why I was happy about his proactive approach.

While I wanted time to pass quickly and the time for my appointment with Choi Do-hyun arrived, I also wanted to be given more time to prepare.

I put a little more effort into putting on makeup that I normally wouldn’t.

Remove even the smallest dust from clothes.

I debated for a long time in front of the mirror whether I should let my hair down or tie it up.

‘Ask Ye-eun which is better… no… that’s a bit…’

She tied her hair up. She held her long black hair with one hand and tied it with a hair tie.

The white neck was reflected in the mirror.

It was hot in the summer, and there were quite a few posts on the Internet saying ponytails were good.

As I went outside and walked a little, I was able to quickly spot him.

As soon as we met, my heart started pounding.

“Are you here?”

“Uh, yes…”

She hurried to his side.

The sight of her smiling brightly as she glanced to the side showed that she was a woman in love.
