“Mr. Garam, you are about to die. Don’t do it carelessly. I hate that word.”

He speaks clearly and warns her.

“Then, please help me not to do that.”

Although she is somewhat passive, she does not back down.

“Huh…”

I scratched my head in frustration rising from the Danjeon.

My scalp felt sore rather than cool due to the nails I hadn’t cut yet.

“Ha… Anyway, Mr. Garam is responsible for remodeling the center, so please send me an estimate. Please let me know when making payment.”

“Thank you.”

Mr. Garam gives a 90-degree bow.

If you look at it like this, it’s Mr. Garam as usual, but his recent appearance is a bit unfamiliar.

After a rough traffic stop, we looked at each other blankly, having nothing to say.

Mr. Garam looked at me and tilted his head to see what I liked, then smiled.

When I looked at her with a blunt face, she smiled and clasped her hands and put her arms on the desk.

“So, what should we do now?”

“Would you like to do a little cleaning here first? It’s too miserable to leave it like this.”

I think we should at least clean up the broken glass.

“What next? Do you have any schedule?”

What should we play? What should we play?

He looks at me with this face.

“No. Go home and rest. It’s not good for exercising.”

When I pointed to the surroundings as if to take a look at this situation, she scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

“Hehe… But you can’t necessarily exercise only at the center, right?”

Where do they sell this drug?

“Shall we go out and do it? A place like a park?”

“You can go out. Indoor exercise is also good. Something like bowling. There are many exercises you can do while playing.”

Personally, I think climbing is fun, but it’s still a bit…

She slurred her words.

I also refuse climbing.

“Is there time for that? I have to clean up here, eat lunch, and find a remodeling company…”

“I will take care of the company. It takes time to select a company.”

When I expressed a slightly negative opinion, she waved her hand and rushed over, carrying a broom and dustpan.

“Now! Should I clean it? Ah… you can take a break, boss. I can do it all.”

Twirling her arms, she appealed to her health and vitality.

Please erase those dark circles.

“Then, I will just summarize the simple things.”

Because so many things were destroyed. I swallowed my words.

Cleaning was finished earlier than expected.

Mr. Garam must have become an expert at cleaning, so he swung a broom at an invisible speed and even brought a gunny sack to clean the floor until it was shiny and shiny.

In fact, I was slower in cleaning up the messy paper on the desk.

After cleaning, she compiled a list of remodeling companies in the presence of me, who was obviously worried.

-You can do it alone.

What she didn’t like so much was that she kept her mouth shut the entire time she was looking for a company.

What was a bit surprising, though, was that she, who had seemed so immature for a while, was quite skilled in this area.

I reflected for a moment on whether I had underestimated her too much.

Then we decided to have an early lunch.

Mr. Garam emphasized that since he ate something high in calories for breakfast, he should stick to his diet for lunch.

So I chose Salad Cafe.

As I barely managed to shove the tasteless green grass into my mouth, I decided that I would order chicken at home tonight.

To be honest, I was planning to relax and eat delicious food at the hotel, but I think this level of compensation is good.

“Hmm… It’s delicious here.”

Mr. Garam, whether he knew what I was feeling or not, gave his review while eating chicken breast.

He seems to be in a particularly good mood today, and I think it’s because I’m next to him.

Please, I hope you don’t become more obsessed than I think.

Looking at the situation so far, it seems like a switch is triggered by direct rejection, so I think it would be a good idea to express rejection as nonverbally as possible.

“Don’t you eat it?”

As I was looking at her face with unfocused eyes, Mr. Garam tilted his head and asked me.

“You have to eat it.”

I put bitter chicory in my mouth and chewed it back.

Life is truly bitter.

***

After putting the tasteless salad on top, I went to a nearby bowling alley.

Perhaps because it was a time when there were no people, we were the only people there except for the enthusiastic club members.

We were led to a lane in the most remote corner.

I don’t know if it was the owner’s consideration, but the place I was assigned was far away from the club members.

“Bowling will also be a good exercise. Of course, the fun aspect is stronger. Oh, have you ever tried bowling?”

Mr. Garam said, bringing a 14-pound ball.

“Yes. But not many.”

Bowling. All I did was throw it at a company dinner a few times.

“It’s okay. Just throw it straight. How much ball will you use?”

“One… 12?”

If I throw at 13 or 14, my arm will hurt a lot the next day.

“Then I’ll throw it first.”

Mr. Garam, who had already changed his shoes, said as he brought a heavy 12-pound ball.

“Here we go.”

After taking the stance, Mr. Garam slowly steps forward and puts his arms back.

– Huung

Swinging forward, he threw the ball.

Okay, I didn’t roll it, I threw it.

– Boom!! Kugugugugu wachaaachaaachaangaa!

Bowling pins bounce around.

The pin that was clearly placed on the right flies to the left.

At the sound of the bomb exploding, the club members on the other side look this way.

After counting for a while, an X appears on the screen.

“Oh yes! Strike!”

She is jumping up and down with a big smile and holds out her hand to me.

“??”

“It’s a strike! High five!”

“Yes? Ah yes. High five.”

I held out my palm with a confused expression, and she mate! I made a sound and put my palms together.

“Did you see it? Bowling is easy.”

Will I ever be able to physically escape this woman?

The foundation of my plan is shaking.
