Si-Woo tilted his head in strange awkwardness.

The beautiful girl he was in love with still called him by her nickname.

They made us laugh and we talked in a friendly way.

However, something was different.

‘what…?’

The physical distance was greater than before.

She used to play mischievous pranks whenever she got the chance, but today she didn’t do anything.

Previously, when the three of us were playing a game together in a room.

The distance between Yoo Ji-min and Choi Do-hyeon, who seemed closer than before, was a bonus.

The four people visited several tourist attractions in Jeju Island and enjoyed the island.

Just by walking along the beach, I could see picturesque scenery and feel the fresh breeze.

And just like that, the first day’s schedule was over.

The room was prepared for two people.

Choi Do-hyun is a total wow.

Jeong Ye-eun shared the same room as Yoo Ji-min.

Jeong Ye-eun and Yoo Ji-min weren’t that close, but…

Anyway, we walk around together.

On the contrary, it was strange to even have to share a room with someone else.

Choi Do-hyeon and Si-woo Si-woo entered the room to find their luggage.

“Do you want to wash first?”

“Yes, I will.”

Choi Do-hyeon lay down on the sofa in the room.

I walked quite a bit.

I feel the fatigue that I had forgotten during the day come rushing back.

Both legs and feet were tired.

When I turned on my phone, a message arrived.

The senders are Jeong Ye-rin and Lim Chae-won.

They each expressed their greetings and expressed their desire to see each other.

The person I called first was Yerin Jeong.

Video calls, not voice calls.

-Dohyun! Is traveling fun?

I saw her face smiling.

“Yes. Sister, are you okay?”

-I miss you already… It’s the first day of the trip.

“You’re watching, right now?”

-It feels different watching it in video. I can’t even hold hands. I can’t even hug him.

“Haha, just wait a few more days. I’ll send you a lot of photos.”

– Exactly?

“Of course. Sister, I have to call Chaewon too…”

-okay. Contact me again later!

“Yes.”

-Oh, before I go!

“Why?”

-Please give me a kiss…

“…What, suddenly?”

-Quickly, okay? I thought it would be okay since I almost always followed him around… but what can I do if I miss him even though I haven’t seen him in a day? hurry.

“Okay.”

On the other hand, an empty kiss that echoes in the air.

She seemed happy enough with that alone.

-..Did you say it was 2 nights and 3 days?

“uh.”

-I hope you come quickly… You said you called Chaewon too, right? Be sure to send me a photo!

“Okay. I’ll hang up.”

-huh!

It was a short but intense call.

Next, I immediately called Chaewon Lim.

She also received a call not long after.

-Dohyun! How about Jeju Island? Pretty? Playing with kids! Is Ye-eun okay? I’m jealous… I wish I was born just one year later…

Pababag, the voices came rushing in at once.

It was like…a remote dog care service came to mind.

A new technology that connects to a webcam and allows you to watch from afar.

When you hear the owner’s voice there, run to the webcam and lick it. Barking into the speakers.

A bit like that… It might be a bit of a rude analogy, but that kind of scene came to mind.

-…Are you listening to me?

“Of course.”

-What did I just say?

“..Did you ask if the trip was fun?”

-I asked who I was sharing the room with.

“….”

-……

“…I’m sorry. I guess I was just staring at it because it was cute.

-uh? Hehe, did you? Then I’ll take a look.

As if embarrassed, she fanned her face with her hand.

Because it was a video call, I couldn’t see the change in facial color as clearly as I could see in person, but I was able to be somewhat satisfied by seeing other reactions.

-I-I didn’t do anything… but does it look cute?

”Yes. He’s cute just by staying still. You don’t have to do anything. Just stay next to me like that.“

-Hi-Hi..

Seeing her face with a big smile that seemed to tear the corners of her mouth, I also laughed.

Haha, hehe.

My laughter made her laugh.

So, for a while we looked at each other and laughed.

If a third party had seen it, they would have clicked their tongues wondering what that was doing.

It was fortunate in its own way that Si-Woo’s shower time was long.

So, after a happy phone call with my two girlfriends, I waited for Si-woo to come out.

**

Si-woo Si-woo went into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

When I looked in the mirror, I saw my own body reflected.

‘It’s normal.’

If all the men in Korea were lined up, this is the face that would be the dividing line between the bottom 50% and the top 50%.

I don’t exercise, but I don’t have a broken eating habit either. I have a normal body.

Grades and athleticism.

Everything was ordinary itself.

The fact that Yoo Ji-min approached him would be the greatest luck and a kind of miracle.

She was such a shining person to him.

On the contrary, because of that, my confidence kept disappearing.

He tried hard to ignore what kind of feelings she had toward him when she played such pranks on him.

If your thoughts lean towards that, and you answer that it is not true.

If you get the answer that it’s just your illusion…

You will completely miss out on the small, everyday happiness that changes your daily life.

Wouldn’t it be like becoming a farmer who kills the goose that lays golden eggs?

‘…I, too, want to gain courage.’

However, it was impossible to stay in this relationship forever.

In the end, if things continue to go smoothly between friends, she will one day find a better man, date him, and even get married.

You will also have a happy family.

Unlike him, who was ordinary in everything, she was perfect in almost every way.

Face too.

Body too.

His personality is charming and kind.

Even though he seems mischievous, he is very considerate, and even amidst the fox-like charm, innocence is visible.

It is like a passionate fire, yet like a forest that heals the heart.

How could a man not be tempted by such a multifaceted yet attractive woman?

‘That doesn’t make sense.’

He shook his head and shook off the distracting thoughts.

More than anything, the reason I decided to be courageous was the presence of Choi Do-hyun.

From what I heard, it seemed like he was dating Jeong Ye-eun…

The human mind cannot be controlled by reason.

He was attractive, even to a man like him.

I realized that beyond his tough appearance, he had a pleasant personality.

He was both tough and soft, and his face and body were close to perfection.

He’s good-looking, and he works out so his body is toned.

I was almost jealous.

He didn’t flinch when other handsome men approached him, and he felt a little complacent as he watched her constantly come to his room.

I even felt a sense of superiority.

However, recently I have started to feel that she has changed somehow…

I couldn’t just relax like before.

If things continue like this, she will fawn over another man. Also, you have to wait and see what happens with that man.

‘…I’ll have to work hard too.’

During that time, she came to him without stopping.

Now, it was his turn to respond to her.

**

Yoo Ji-min unpacked his luggage in his room.

There was a cold atmosphere somewhere in the room.

Yoo Ji-min was sociable and knew how to be a little shameless, but in the current situation, it was not easy to talk to him.

‘…At times like this…’

When your heart is hard and your mood is frozen, you need a key to unlock the lock.

The most outstanding key to the heart that mankind has developed is alcohol.

Because it was not a field trip for high school students, there were no restrictions on alcohol.

Of course, it could be a problem if you get drunk and act out the truth, but it’s just a matter of having a drink or two quietly in your room…

It couldn’t have been a problem.

“Yeun-ah. Do you want to have a drink with the boys?”

“Boys…?”

“Oh, not the strange kids! Dohyun and Siwoo.”

“..Why?”

“I just thought it would be fun and good if we all played together! How about…?”

The awkward atmosphere was something Jeong Ye-eun also felt.

On the other hand… I was also curious about what would happen if Choi Do-hyun got drunk.

“..Like that.”

Like that, she also nodded.

There is a convenience store on the first floor of the accommodation, where you can purchase light snacks and alcohol.

“You’re going to wear it like that? Aren’t you wearing it too lightly?”

“Huh? Why is this?”

Jeong Ye-eun criticized Yoo Ji-min.

A thin cardigan over a tank top, and dolphin pants as bottoms.

It was a fairly comfortable outfit that could only be worn at home with family.

“Aren’t you cold?”

“Comfortable and good.”

A spark flashed in her eyes.

She also wore the clothes she wears to sleep after taking a shower, but she wasn’t dressed that lightly.

I stopped at a convenience store and bought a few cans of beer and a couple of bottles of soju.

On the way out, Yoo Ji-min bumped into someone.

“Oh, sorry.”

“Ugh, yes. It’s okay..”

Huge body, sweat flowing.

It looked like he had taken a shower, but new sweat was streaming down his face.

His face was covered in terrible acne, and every time he breathed, there was a foul odor of unknown origin.

Yoo Ji-min could not bear the unpleasant feeling of being human-to-human that suddenly arose, and frowned slightly.

“Jimin Yoo, let’s go!”

“Ah, yes.”

Eventually, she walked away from him.

For a split second, he saw the contempt in her eyes.

‘….’

Huh, huh.

Beyond her harsh breathing, her sparkling eyes followed her back.

Anyway, he knew it too.

The world we live in is different, and we are in a position where it is difficult to even talk to each other.

The only revenge I can take on the contemptuous gaze is something that happens in my own delusions.

Yes, unless some miracle happens.
