That one word you might have said.

Now that we have finished eating, I heard Da-hye say something that I thought I would just say if speaking was difficult.

I had already decided in my head how I would react.

What did I decide to do?

“Dahye.”

“Yes.”

I’ve seen Da-hye serious and not playful at all a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen her eyelids flutter like they are now.

It must have been the one thing he said to me after all his worries.

How many different thoughts did I have because of that one word?

Because it was a world where men and women were reversed, I had no choice but to remain still, but as a man, I also had a very difficult time.

“Did I tell you before?”

I remembered.

What were you supposed to say?

I like Dahye.

I’m not sure when Da-hye started liking or thinking about me, but I love her so much that she moved from Seoul to Busan for me.

So I have no intention or reason to disappoint Dahye, who had the courage to propose to me.

“What Dahye wants is what I want.”

“…Yes.”

“So, if Dahye wants to marry me…”

Same goes for me.

The fact that Dahye thinks that way means that I also think that way.

“I want to marry you too.”

Since when did it start?

This is the conclusion I came to after thinking about as many stars as there are in the night sky and as the sun repeatedly rises and sets.

I think I will finally be able to say what I wanted to say someday.

“I will ask you a favor. Marry me.”

The reverse proposal line.

It was a word that I had been pondering over for almost three months.

That one word that makes me shiver…

I spoke as if I was pouring out a lot of emotion, and Da-hye’s eyes were blinking and her mouth was trembling.

Was it a little lacking?

I guess I wasn’t as impressed as I thought…

The moment you think.

Suddenly, tears started falling like comets from Dahye’s eyes.

Dahye was clearly a small comet at first, but it grew bigger and became a waterfall like the Milky Way.

I’m just embarrassed because I don’t know how to calm down a woman who cries like that.

Are you moved?

That’s all there is to it, right?

Anyway, I held out a handkerchief to Da-hye, who started crying.

I brought it because I was afraid I would cry, but I had no idea that Da-hye would cry.

“Oppa…”

“Huh?”

“Can’t you wipe it for me?”

“I guess so.”

It looks like he wants to make a fool of himself.

If your girlfriend is a childish fanatic, you should accept it as much as you want.

I folded my handkerchief neatly and sat down next to Dahye.

And when I tried to wipe it slowly…

Dahye grabbed me and placed her lips on mine as if she was headbutting me.

For a moment, I thought it was an attack, so I almost activated a defensive stance.

Let’s let Dahye do whatever she wants.

Anyway, I like kissing too.

We kissed for a while, lusting after each other’s lips.

That is, until an employee knocked on the door to get a plate.

*

After finishing the meal, I went to the front door of the house.

On the right is my house and on the left is Da-hye’s house.

Actually, home has no meaning to us.

Dahye is a family member who sleeps and eats together at our house without any problems.

“Well…then I’ll go in.”

Dahye then bowed her head in greeting and went to the door of her house.

Originally, it would have been natural to let it go like this, but for some reason I didn’t want to let it go, so I approached Dahye and held her hand.

“Are you going?”

“Yes?!”

Da-hye was very surprised, perhaps because I held her hand.

He was sweating profusely and shaking, as if he had seen something scary…

Are you unwell?

When a person suddenly feels weak, he or she breaks into a cold sweat and trembles a lot.

I once almost died from hypocrisy, and I went to the emergency room because I was in so much pain.

The emergency room had no way to resolve my discomfort, so all they did was give me an IV for painkillers, and I felt comfortable for a while.

And about two hours have passed?

When the medicine ran out, I started getting chills and shaking again, and the pain was three times worse than before I came to the hospital, so I thought I was really going to die like this.

Da-hye’s appearance was that of that time.

This is how I looked at that time, when I was shaking so scared that I was really going to die.

“Dahye. You look really bad.”

“Trigram… It’s okay. It’s because I’m very nervous.”

What kind of person shivers in a cold sweat just because he or she is nervous?

Are women any different?

“Don’t do that, let’s go to my house.”

“Oh…oppa….”

“Because it’s okay. Go into warm water…”

“Well…it’s not that…”

He stands still, looking down, hesitant to say anything.

Is there something else you want to say to me?

You said that before too.

“Oh…today….”

“Today?”

“Can you…sleep at my house and leave?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done, right? You sleep often in the first place, right?”

To anyone who sees her, she might look like a girl dating for the first time.

I found it cute because it felt like I was asking a guy if I could go eat ramen.

Pat pat pat.

When I lightly stroked her head, Da-hye jumped up and down.

I held Dahye’s hand and came inside.

As expected, Dahye’s house is minimalist and very empty.

The living room has a TV, table, sofa, and air conditioner.

There is no table, rice cooker, or water purifier in the kitchen, and there is only a small refrigerator.

I need to fill in this and that before I get married.

This is more than just being a minimalist.

“Well…but I decorated the room…”

“That’s right. It was a very high-tech room.”

The kitchen and living room feel minimalist, but strangely, the room is a gorgeous room sparkling with RGB.

Is it correct to say that there is a game room in the house?

However, I was using a monitor that hurt my eyes.

I need a few pats on the butt.

“Dahye.”

“Yes?!”

“Do you think things are a little better now? Not even shivering.”

“Well…I see. Looks like things are getting a little better!”

that’s interesting.

Just now, I was shaking so much and sweating profusely.

Now, even though I feel around here and there and touch it, I can’t find any place that is shaking.

Rather, heart rate also…

Nope.

My heart rate is racing like an athlete who just finished running a marathon.

If you measure your blood pressure now, it might be over 200.

“Then what… shall we wash together?”

“Okay…I’ll get some water.”

“Yes. Make it a little hot.”

I’m jealous of Dahye’s house because it has a bathtub.

My aunt, who lived there before, liked to take a bath, so she demolished a room with a bathroom attached and built an extension.

When I was young, I used to play and take baths with my friend next door, and when I saw that, I was really jealous…

What is that aunt doing after moving?

“Oh…oppa. I turned on the water.”

“Then, should we sit down and talk for a while?”

“Yes!”

what?

I never imagined that it would suddenly become this high-tension.

Isn’t it normal to be quiet after being moved and crying because of the lingering emotions?

As expected, Dahye seems to be a bit far from a typical person.

When I first saw him, he was a strange editor who only wore a suit…

But now I’m a normal, normal woman who wears all kinds of clothes.

Hehe… In a way, you can say that I taught him.

Da-hye must live while being thankful to me.

“Oppa…”

“Huh? Oh, I’m sorry. I was dazed.”

“Oh…no…. I just spoke to you for the first time too.”

“That’s right…”

“Oppa is, after all, oppa.”

Dahye breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was relieved.

I don’t know why, but I’m glad that Da-hye has found peace of mind.

It looked like it was in trouble a while ago.

I was shaking and breaking into a cold sweat…

“But Dahye. If you think about it, our marriage.”

“Yes?”

“If we get married, won’t we have to start with new wallpaper?”

“Painting…?”

Dahye is using the house as it was when her previous owner, her aunt, moved out.

It wasn’t particularly dirty, but it wasn’t in very good condition because it had been wallpapered a long time ago.

“I guess so.”

“Let’s change the interior a bit.”

“Hehe. Good.”

I need to spend a lot of money on the interior design.

Since this is a newlywed house, wouldn’t it be okay to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to decorate it?

Anyway, I have to buy a new one.

“Well…but oppa…”

“Yes. What would you like to do with your room?”

“The room is also a room…well…”

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Marriage… you know?”

“Hmm…”

I’m a little embarrassed to already be talking about marriage.

After all, being a couple is a relationship that requires jumping several steps from a romantic relationship, so it seems inevitable.

“Actually… I told my mom and dad a month ago.”

“Did you?”

“Yes… I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you.”

“No, there is nothing to be sorry about. so? What are you saying?”

“When they heard about it, they really liked it. So I want to see you soon…”

“I see… Then I should go see you.”

“Well…but…”

“What else is there?”

“My parents… told me to register my marriage right away if I like them…”

“….You are great parents.”

“If you lose your daughter-in-law here, you will never talk about marriage again…”

It seems that Da-hye’s parents are very worried about their daughter.

That’s right, there’s no way you wouldn’t be happy when your daughter, who doesn’t have any friends and only wears suits, says she’s going to marry her boyfriend.

But Dahye’s parents…

When I heard it before, I heard that they were both doctors.

Dahye is not a rich person who buys a house for no reason.
