20 minutes until the fireworks start.

Since Hyukjin always showed up earlier than his appointment time, I thought he would have arrived before me, but contrary to my expectations, he did not show up at the meeting place.

It didn’t seem like there was anything to prepare, so why was it late? Is it possible that it comes with a matching wig?

For a moment, I thought of Hyukjin wearing a wig, but I quickly shook my head.

It’s late evening now.

Since most stores were closed, I wouldn’t be able to get a wig anywhere.

Although Hyukjin can do anything, he still thought it would be too much to prepare a custom wig within an hour.

I smiled at the increasingly certain victory.

There is no way you will lose.

Not only did he get help from the fox god, but he even brought out his favorite furry ears and a soft, cuddly tail to win, so how could he lose?

It’s clear that he will fall in love with me as soon as he sees me.

He approached me with long strides, caressing me with his pot-lid-like hand, and finally, when the fireworks exploded…

“Ugh… Ugh…”

My face gets hot as I imagine what happens next.

I need to stop imagining it. If I keep imagining it like this, I might get excited and end up confessing first.

The more I thought of Hyukjin in my head, the more my heart pounded and I couldn’t control my excitement, so I shook my head to shake off my thoughts about him.

I prepared so hard, but I can’t lose sloppily.

No matter how he prepares, he won’t fall in love with you first.

I made a strong promise, but at that moment, a question arose.

What happens if I fall in love first?

It’s unlikely, but what if I fall in love with him before he falls in love with me?

It’s not out of the question.

Right now, I have strong offense, but my defense is poor.

Just thinking about Hyukjin for a moment makes me feel hot, but is he even decorating it to my liking?

It is certain that it will be captured immediately.

If I lose the bet, will I be able to confess to Hyukjin?

I think about it.

Me confessing my love to Hyukjin before the fireworks explode.

And as the fireworks explode, I lust after his lips.

…I think it would be impossible.

I’m so embarrassed that when that time comes, I think my mouth and body will all freeze up.

Should I buy a can of beer right now?

I ended up in a relationship using the power of alcohol, but there’s nothing I can’t confess, right?

I thought for a moment as I looked at the nearby convenience store, but I quickly shook my head.

No, if I have to confess, I want to do so while I am still in my right mind.

If you confess after drinking, they will say you were out of your mind and cowardly run away.

You can do it. no? I have to do it.

It’s about telling what’s on your mind and solidifying your relationship.

No longer friends, but lovers.

As I finish thinking, the fear rooted in my heart slowly disappears.

As I gained confidence that I could confess, my nervousness also disappeared.

Now I’m starting to look forward to it.

If I confessed first, how would Hyukjin react?

Are you going to show an uncharacteristically shy side? Or should I hit back and forth? Either that or that.

“Should you take me to the accommodation before the fireworks even start?”

No matter what you choose, tonight will be really fun. Whether it’s emotional or physical.

Was he laughing happily while thinking about the pleasure that was to come?

From afar, I noticed a person presumed to be Hyukjin approaching the meeting place.

…isn’t it?

There’s no way Hyukjin has hair? I’m not a kid who dresses up like that.

You got the wrong person.

But I think I would definitely fall in love if she looked like that.

Feeling embarrassed that I was mistaken, I checked the time and found that there was only one minute left until the appointment time.

I stamped my foot and complained.

“A guy who usually keeps his promises like a knife, why is he so late today? Aren’t you coming even after the fireworks are over?”

I suddenly became anxious.

Did something really happen?

Even if monsters or demons come out and exorcise them, they won’t come after the fireworks are over, right?

As I was anxiously looking at the clock on my phone, an alarm rang informing me of my appointment time.

“I’m here. Have you waited long?”

At the same time, Hyukjin’s long-awaited voice was heard.

—–

I’m excited.

When you look back, what does Hyukjin look like?

Are you wearing Under Armor as usual? Or maybe he’s wearing some other cool outfit?

I calm my trembling heart.

You can never fall in love at first sight.

I asked for a relationship first, but I can’t even confess.

After calming down, I slowly turned around and was speechless when I saw Hyukjin’s face.

awesome.

I can clearly see why this guy was so popular when I was in middle school when I still had hair.

The abundant hair transformed the ferocious look into a docile one.

The white dress shirt he wore instead of the unsightly Under Armor removed the bulky feel, and the sophisticated feel of the suit pants neutralized the man’s unique menacing atmosphere.

The scary feeling is gone, but the manly appearance still remains.

Seeing that guy like that, I closed my eyes in silence.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The sound of my heart beating violently reaches my ears.

Is this the sound of Hyukjin’s heart or mine?

In an instant, my peaceful mind was shattered and my thoughts began to become jumbled.

What should I say?

I love you? You like it? Let’s have sex right now?

One thing is certain, I knew defeat as soon as I saw him.

I lowered my head and sighed deeply.

“…Hair is against the rules.”

Even if you look at it, it is not a wig.

Judging by the fact that it didn’t smell artificial at all, it was definitely Hyukjin’s hair.

Rather, what should we do now?

Should I really confess first?

I was confident that I would confess until I saw Hyukjin in front of me. They whispered love and were willing to become lovers.

But once a coward always a coward, when I met him, my head turned white and I couldn’t say anything.

say.

I love you, I like you, I ask you to be my lover.

Why can’t I say everything I could say in 3 seconds at most?

As I push myself out of frustration, I can barely get the first syllable out of my mouth.

“Bu, buy…”

A little bit of confidence regained.

Insert that seed of confidence into the gap of shame and let it sprout.

“Seu-eup, hoo…”

As I took a slow, deep breath, the sprout quickly grew in size, and a large crack appeared in the iron wall of shame.

Just like that, I was able to say the second syllable.

“Love…”

As soon as I say the second syllable, the confidence I have gained completely breaks down the strong iron wall of shame.

And, the confidence of confidently shouting victory on top of the collapsed castle wall gave me the courage to confess.

“I love you.”

A confession of love carefully made with a smile.

I waited for Hyukjin’s answer with a relieved heart, and soon he opened his mouth with a helpless smile.

“I lost.”

“What?”

“It’s a complete defeat. It’s been a long time since I felt this defeated.”

The guy who sighed kept saying strange things.

I finally mustered up the courage to confess my love, but I couldn’t respond, but what kind of sound is this, like banging on a drum in your sleep?

As I looked at him with eyes filled with complex emotions, Hyukjin came closer to me and began to give me an answer.

“Actually, I was excited first. My heart started pounding from the moment I saw it from afar.”

Containing sweet yet sticky affection.

“But I couldn’t really say it. I have to say I love you, but it’s stuck in my throat and I can’t get it out.”

Added self-reproach and regret.

“In the end, I was able to speak only after you made me speak first, so wouldn’t you say it was a complete defeat?”

A confession unique to him that leaves a lasting impression.

The negative emotions that came up for a moment at those words disappear like melting snow.

The corners of my mouth were hanging over my ears and I didn’t want to come down, and my heart was pounding so hard that I was worried it might explode.

I can’t control my emotions at all.

I’m so happy it feels like I’m dreaming.

Come on, tell me the next sentence.

Give me a refreshing scratch on this itchy feeling.

When I looked at him with earnest eyes and urged him, Hyukjin smiled softly and whispered his love to me.

“I love you, Seongha Yoo.”

A truly simple and plain sentence without any rhetoric.

After quietly listening to that confession, I hugged him and burst into laughter.

“Puh, now I see that there are no winners and no losers. If we fell in love with each other as soon as we saw each other, isn’t it actually a draw?”

“That’s right. So should we just call it a draw?”

“No, I’ll still assume I won. If we say it’s a draw, it means 1 draw and 1 loss, right? Then I feel like I’m losing something.”

“Kick… Okay, so it’s 1 win and 1 loss? How will the final winner be decided?”

“Why should I tell you, you already know, right?”

As I secretly looked down and smiled, he also followed me and smiled sinisterly.

Shooo! Paang!!!!!!!

Under the fireworks that began to colorfully decorate the night sky.

Hyukjin and I overlapped our lips.
