“So, did you give it to me?”

“Well, what… ”

A neat-looking female student with a teardrop around her right eye. Kwon Yuri sent a sinister look to Seoyeon.

Her face was already red from alcohol.

“Candy. Did you give it to your fiance?”

Baek Seo-yeon turned her head, pretending not to notice, but Kwon Yuri continued to cling persistently and push her.

“There is no way our Seoyeon would have passed up an event like this… ”

There was no way Kwon Yuri, who was no different from her closest associate, was unaware of Seoyeon’s affection for her fiancé.

Although it was full of playfulness, it was also a statement that accurately struck Seo-yeon’s psychology.

It was certainly impossible for her to just skip the Nakseong Day festival.

Although the form is a little different, it is one of the things I have always dreamed of in my life.

“, I gave it to you a few days ago… So stop asking… ?”

“Hmm… ”

However, Kwon Yuri did not intend to fail despite Seoyeon’s poetry.

In fact, a more sinister smile began to appear on his lips.

“Did you like it?”

“Of course I liked it… ”

Seoyeon blushed but nodded slightly.

A gesture that appears timid at first glance but is full of confidence.

She thought back to the hardships of staying up all night making candy over the past few days.

It would be a lie to say that it wasn’t difficult, but the finished result was enough to wash away all the fatigue.

The taste was carefully adjusted to suit his taste, as he does not like things too sweet.

It also adds to the fun of printing cute shapes using various molds.

In addition, the care taken to package each item individually.

I could be confident that if he only tasted one bite, he would quickly fall in love with it.

Although it was very disappointing and unfortunate that he couldn’t show that he made it… When he imagined eating the candy he made, he felt a sense of happiness.

That was enough for now.

She still had to endure a long period of penance.

“But?”

“But what?”

Kwon Yuri still had no intention of letting her go.

“I even made the candy and offered it to you, but they just let you go?”

“Woah, I don’t know what you’re talking about… ”

Seoyeon shook her head violently from side to side.

“Even if you think about it, it’s nonsense, right?”

Kwon Yuri asked almost in a whisper, with a sticky expression that did not match her neat appearance.

“You haven’t applied for a sleepover this week, have you? Then, let’s just get things done quickly… ”

“That… stop… Because I didn’t do that… ”

“Huh? I didn’t say anything? What on earth is that?”

“How… ”

Seoyeon now closed her eyes and lowered her head.

“Glass. Stop bothering Seoyeon. You drank too much.”

Then, a female student wearing glasses sitting in the next row. Choi I-re came up and pulled Kwon Yuri by the back of her neck.

“Ugh… I didn’t drink much… At best, it’s only three glasses… ”

“It’s not three glasses, it’s three bottles… ”

“That’s it… ”

Next to Kwon Yuri and Choi Ire, who were bickering.

Seoyeon’s earlobes, still with her head down, were stained a strange red.

Kwon Yuri’s whispers were so provocative that they awakened a specific imagination in her.

Before she knew it, Seoyeon was daydreaming about him hugging her powerfully and roughly.

This was also a future that was not to be desired.

“Guys. now stop… Huh?”

Seoyeon, who had managed to calm down her heated body, was about to stop her friends.

Suddenly, her eyes catch something across the banquet hall.

Seoyeon immediately stood up.

The expression on his face was as stiff as ever.

“Seoyeon? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“… I think I drank too much. I’ll come back after getting some air… !”

“What? You haven’t even had a drink… ”

Before Choi Ire could even respond, she urgently ran after someone.

***

“Lord, you’re going to give it to me… There is no such thing… ”

Confused by Lee Hyun’s sudden question, Yeon Myeong-ha stuttered.

“I… What did you entrust to me? ? What is that all of a sudden… ”

“… ”

She only realized her mistake after spitting it out.

His slightly drooping shoulders were almost like an answer.

Even if you couldn’t see his face, you could tell for sure.

After groaning in agony for a long time, she finally opens her mouth with difficulty.

“That… in fact… There is one… ”

Yeon Myeong-ha searched through the inside pocket of Juseom Juseom’s jacket and immediately took out a small package and handed it to Lee Hyeon.

Those thin fingers were trembling the whole time.

The male student accepts him without saying a word.

“Rice, it’s not a big deal… I just made it when I had some free time… ”

Even though no one out of pity told me to do it, I made up a series of excuses myself.

“The shape is a bit bad… Well, it’s definitely not something that was done roughly… ”

Lee Hyun continued fiddling with the small package in his palm.

He looked at Yan Yanha again and opened his mouth.

“… Can I open it now?”

“Well, why did you ask me that… Do whatever you want… ”

Then Lee Hyun unwrapped the package as if he had been waiting and gently turned it over in his palm.

Soon two or three ugly, indescribable lumps of some kind tumbled helplessly.

“Ah… ”

Seeing him, Yeon Dong-ha sighed involuntarily and closed her eyes tightly.

I shouldn’t have given it to you either.

The excitement of drinking made me stop working.

Even if you couldn’t see him being embarrassed and disappointed, it was easy to see.

Someone’s well-made snack box comes to mind again, in contrast to her poorly made snack box.

My heart is pounding violently, and even tears seep into my tightly closed eyes.

-Wow!

“Uh… ?”

But the next moment.

A sound in the night air awakens her again.

Yeon Myeong-ha gently opened her closed eyes.

One of the lumps that had been placed on his palm had disappeared without a trace.

Compassionately, he turns his head upward again.

The male student was chewing something with his teeth.

He suddenly felt a look of pity on him and spoke as if he was a little embarrassed.

“I usually bite into candy and eat it. Because it’s been a habit since I was young… ”

“… ”

Yeon Myeong-ha, who was watching Lee Hyun blankly, stammered and opened her lips.

“Well, it’s worth eating… ?”

Before I knew it, I could even feel the anticipation in her voice.

Lee Hyun finished chewing the remaining candy and passed it down his throat.

Then he nodded slowly and said.

“Delicious.”

“Well, it’s a lie… ”

“It’s not a lie. Does it really suit my taste?”

His voice was truly full of satisfaction.

Before I knew it, Yeon Gyeon-ha’s heart was pounding with joy rather than tension.

The one word he added, with some hesitation, eventually reached its final point.

“And actually, I was waiting.”

“What… ?”

“Candy given by my senior.”

“Hmm… ”

In response to the question, which seemed to be rather obvious, a loud groan naturally came out of Yeongyangha’s mouth.

I felt like the sadness I had been holding in was about to burst out, so I lowered my head in pity.

It was clear that he was a person who did not know the feeling of shame.

It could be said to be even more vicious in that it appears to have no awareness.

After remaining blank for a while, he suddenly made a resolute expression on his face that was secretly pitying him.

The night is still in full swing and I haven’t woken up from the strong alcohol.

It was more than enough time for courage to arise without any basis.

Feeling pity, he immediately put his impulse into action.

“… Senior?”

“, stay still… ”

It seemed as if he was pressing his body even closer, but before he knew it, he was feeling pity for him and draped his legs over his lap.

Then, the pure white stockings hidden under the long skirt reveal themselves.

The white skin exposed between the skirt and stockings lifted by gravity reflects the moonlight and shines.

It looked like she was going to climb over his knee, but she stopped herself tall and pressed her thighs closer to him, narrowing the distance.

Unfocused red eyes, lips exhaling thick and warm breath, and even cheeks that were probably flushed from the alcohol.

Lee Hyun could clearly see everything before his eyes.

“What are you doing now… ”

“… Open your mouth… ”

Before he knew it, Yan Yanha snatched a candy from his palm and put it to his mouth.

“I will eat it. And come down… ”

“Quickly… The Nakseong-il festival tradition is that the person who originally made it feeds it… ”

“… ”

Lee Hyun showed an embarrassed look, but Yeon Sang-ha’s spirit remained strong.

Instead, he brought his finger even closer.

Anyway, I have never heard anywhere that the Nakseong Day festival has such a tradition.

It was clear that there was no need to take such an embarrassing stance.

However, those eyes are burning brightly with some kind of passion and stubbornness.

A strong will that makes it impossible to compromise on this much.

Lee Hyun was able to come to a conclusion without difficulty.

Rather, accepting her drunkenness is the fastest and surest way to end this situation.

“Quickly… ”

“… ”

Finally, after thinking about it, he slightly opened his mouth under the mask.

Then, Yeon Myeong-ha gradually moves her trembling finger.

It was possible to quickly drop a piece of candy through the open mouth.

However, the drunk girl chooses an even bolder move.

Soon she shoved the candy into his mouth with her thin fingers.

“Senior? Anyway, this is a bit… Eup.”

His last protest dissipates in vain along with the sweetness that fills his mouth.

The dual texture of soft, thin fingers and hard candy spreads in the boy’s mouth.

Compassionate people do not immediately remove their fingers.

I feel like I can’t put it down.

A playful movement that tickles the tongue slightly, almost like it’s not going to let go.

In the nick of time, just before I got angry, I finally let the candy roll on my tongue.

“Ah… ”

At the sudden sensation of lukewarm mucous membranes, Yeon-sik lets out a sweet moan without realizing it.

This was a series of processes governed by the realm of instinct rather than will.

That’s because when she was drunk, she was more like something on the edge than a person.

With compassion, he pulls his fingers out with a leisurely movement, without rushing.

As she reappears, her thin fingers are covered with a slightly viscous, shiny liquid.

“Uh… ”

Lee Hyun, who was finally freed, let out a slightly embarrassed voice.

And with the subsequent stimulation, her alcohol-soaked brain finally reaches its limit.

Yeon-sik’s body fell forward weakly, but something solid and warm soon wrapped around her.

The sound of someone’s heart pounding lingers in my ears like a lullaby.

In a voice mixed with pity and hesitation, he begins his final confession before falling asleep.

“Next year… I’ll make it prettier… ”

“… I look forward to it.”

“On National Foundation Day… You know it’s your turn… ?”

“Okay.”

“And you… He combed my hair really well… Comb it again… Every day… ”

“I will do so.”

“You… It’s definitely something I promised… ? To always be by my side… Not going anywhere… ”

“… ”

“Cool… ”

The voice, which had become thinner, suddenly stopped.

Lee Hyun only slightly lowered his gaze to check on Yeon Myeong-ha, who was sleeping in his arms.

She was continuously exhaling light, light breaths.

Because I desperately felt the loneliness and sadness disguised as alcohol, I had no choice but to accept her alcohol completely.

Lee Hyun, who was staring at the sleeping girl, stretched out his hand.

Then, he tidied up the hair that had fallen down on Yeon Myeong-ha’s face and moved it to her ear.

Eventually, he stretched out his arms and firmly supported her, then lightly raised his body and walked away into the darkness of the night.

He was held dearly in his arms throughout his pity.

It was the moment when the long banquet finally came to an end.

***

“Ugh… I can’t drink any more… Uh… ?”

Time for the banquet to reach its peak.

Kwon Yuri, who was blowing a bottle, turned her head when she saw someone pretending to be popular.

A female student with black hair was just entering Hwayang Hall with a trudging step.

He lowered his head and held on to the other shoulder with one trembling arm.

“Our Seoyeon… Why did it take so long~”

“… ”

However, there was no answer from Seo-yeon.

She silently headed to her seat and gathered her clothes with limp hands.

“Sorry… I’m not feeling well today… I’ll go in first… ”

Seoyeon said hello, not at Kwon Yuri, but at the empty space next to her.

Then, he took unsteady steps again and headed outside Hwayang Hall.

A terrible chill and loneliness enveloped her.

***

“Huh?”

In the bright blue dawn, Yeon Myeong-ha suddenly opens her eyes.

She reflexively raised her upper body.

Then he turned his head and checked his surroundings.

The bedding that warmly surrounds you, the familiar bed, the familiar ceiling, and even the familiar windows.

However, she soon frowns as a pounding headache comes over her.

“Ugh… It’s the head… What is this… ”

The searing pain was also enough to bring back memories she had forgotten.

She realized something and stopped moving.

“… Wait.”

And memories from not that long ago, just a few hours ago, fill her head.

“Ah… ah… Ahhh… ”

It let out a growl that was more animal-like than pitiful.
