On the way back from the taekwondo gym.

The evening has become dark.

We followed the streetlights that had been laid out ahead as landmarks and chatted about this and that.

“So I decided to do it with the teacher. I felt proud because he was unexpectedly looking forward to it.”

The conversation was mostly about the Taekwondo gym and the kind of business Yu Ah-rin would be starting in the future.

The teacher said he liked it, but from what I’ve seen so far, having spent a long time with Yu Ah-rin.

She also got permission, looking very excited.

“I feel like my horizons have broadened to a slightly new field.”

Of course, Yua Rin didn’t hide it either. It’s not often that you feel like you’re developing yourself.

Because the feeling I was having right now seemed pretty good.

Riding the night air, I asked softly.

“Shall we eat dinner?”

“Are you flirting?”

Yoo Ah-rin asked with a ‘foot’ smile. I don’t know what the right answer is in a situation like this.

Isn’t it because I’ve always lived honestly that I’ve gotten to where I am today?

“Yeah, I’m flirting.”

“Heh.”

A strange breathing sound burst out.

But looking at the corners of his lips that were stretched out as he frowned, it seemed like it was the right answer.

“What do you want to eat?”

I can already sense the excitement in his voice.

I continued with a little more confidence.

“Um, is there anything nearby? Something like kimbap or tteokbokki would be good, right? Or just convenience store ramen would be fine.”

“The menu is a bit cramped.”

He added while gently holding Yoo Ah-rin’s hand, who was mumbling as if she had just cooled down.

“I want to eat quickly and move on to the next one.”

Yoo Ah-rin, who had been staring at me, let go of my hand and slowly linked arms with me.

“Anyway, when I see things like this, I think you’re secretly smart.”

It doesn’t look too bad.

The flow was good, and our steps became lighter.

As expected, it is the courageous man who wins the beauty.

Okay, let’s be a little more courageous.

“Arin, did you bring your taekwondo uniform?”

“Yeah, I brought it.”

I heard that they bought a new one because the old one was too worn out. When I look at it, it seems like it’s not a regular taekwondo uniform, but a fancy performance taekwondo uniform with a little bit of color.

I asked Yoo Ah-rin, who was looking around the nearby restaurants with a smile.

“Can I wear a dobok?”

“This fucking bastard always ends up getting the last one!”

She immediately uncrossed her arms and leaned back. At the same time, she kicked him in the stomach.

I heard later that it was a technique called a jumping roundhouse kick in Taekwondo.

“Ouch!”

Whatever it was, once I got hit in the stomach, my body fell forward.

Bam!

“Come on, you little shit. There’s a pizza place over there.”

I was dragged to a pizza place with my hair still held.

“You pay for it. It’s a punishment for making me feel like shit.”

“I can pay!”

Looking at the floor, I try to muster up my courage again.

“But I want to take off the dobok!”

“Shut up! What the heck is this Dobok?! It’s a new Dobok that I haven’t even worn yet, so I have to break it in!”

“You can tame it with me!”

“No, what’s so good about the uniform?”

“It’s new!”

Ahn Hyun-ho said he likes new women, but I’m happy with Yoo Ah-rin in new clothes.

“Sigh, my head hurts. Okay, let’s go get some pizza.”

“… … But when are you going to let this go?”

I went inside with my hair held. I heard the clerk’s surprised scream, but my hair was held until I finally sat down.

The place we entered wasn’t just a simple pizza place. It was a place that sold Western food, and the prices themselves weren’t that expensive.

I wonder if he came in with some consideration.

“Pizza and… …pilaf or risotto? You like rice in it, right?”

The problem is that kids these days know me too well.

“Pilaf. Risotto is a bit like porridge, so it’s a bit like that.”

“So last time, Lee Seo made pilaf for you.”

“… … .”

While I was too embarrassed to say anything, Yu Ah-rin quickly ordered the food and rested her chin on her hand, staring at me intently.

“Are you feeling a little better now?”

“Arin, I’ve always been calm.”

“It would have been better if you said that because you were excited.”

Well then what should we do?

I’ve been thinking about this ever since I entered the Taekwondo gym.

“But I think you’ll look really pretty in a Taekwondo uniform.”

As I spoke in a gloomy tone, Yu Ah-rin bit her lips.

“Haa, this won’t work. If I stay like this with you, I might actually end up wearing it.”

Yoo Ah-rin, who had been slapping her cheeks hard, took a deep breath and declared firmly.

“No. Absolutely not. Got it?”

It’s unfortunate, but I guess there’s nothing I can do if you say it so firmly.

“Okay, I got it. I won’t do anything you don’t like.”

The clerk hands the cup of water he brought to Yu Ah-rin and pours her some water while speaking.

Yu Ah-rin’s expression wasn’t bad as she drank water, perhaps feeling a little better.

at that time.

“No, why is this failing?”

“It’s because you guys made a slip of the tongue.”

“Ha, this sucks, really. Who made the reservation here in the first place? How long has it been since you ate and you’re coming here for dinner again? You should go to a bar.”

“Huh? I did it.”

Familiar voices were heard from the entrance. I turned my head in that direction without realizing it, and our eyes met unintentionally.

In order, they were Kang Han-gang, Ahn Hyeon-ho, Pyo Jin-ho, and Jeong Chan-woo.

“Oh, shit.”

I tried to pretend I didn’t know them right away, but the moment they saw me with Arin, they came over to me.

“Wow, Woojin. Where’s Yerin?”

Han Kang, who started spewing out remarks that made Yua Rin feel dirty from the start.

“… … Didn’t you say you were studying?”

Hyunho Ahn, who spoke to me earlier.

“Ah, ah, Arianna, hello.”

Pyo Jin-ho is still afraid because of the trauma he suffered as a child.

“You two are dating? I’m jealous.”

Even Jung Chan-woo, who now seems completely unfazed.

As I sighed deeply at the thought of having to meet the four of them here, Kang Han-gang smiled and placed a hand on my shoulder.

“Hey, it’s a coincidence that we met like this. What do you think? Should we join?”

“Go fuck yourself. If you don’t want to get beat up, get out.”

Even though I clenched my teeth and warned him with a gesture, Kang Han-gang did not back down.

It seems like he wants to ruin my success somehow.

“Get out.”

At Yoo Ah-rin’s eerie words, Han Kang glanced around and carefully moved to another seat.

“That’s why I told you to go if you don’t want to lose to Yoo Ah-rin.”

First, I kicked one out.

“Isn’t it delicious here? I came here with my girlfriend and we liked it.”

As Han River disappeared, Chanwoo smiled and took over the baton.

“Didn’t you say you had a meeting today? With another school’s dance department?”

I deliberately emphasized the meeting with the dance department. It was to appeal to Yu Ah-rin that I didn’t go.

“Yeah, but I accidentally told my hyungs that they were going to the military soon, so it all ended.”

“Sigh.”

Well then, that’s right.

Just as I was about to add that they might not be all that good, Yu Ah-rin intervened.

“Hey, but are you planning on having dinner with the girls you’re meeting today at the place you went to with your ex-girlfriend?”

“Yeah, my ex-girlfriend said it was delicious here too. I was going to recommend what I ate there then.”

“… … Kim Woojin, have you ever been here with other girls?”

When Yoo Ah-rin asked me a question, I immediately raised both hands and declared my innocence.

“No? Absolutely not! It was the place you chose in the first place.”

“Right? You would have lost if you had come here with another bitch first.”

It’s spine-chilling.

Jung Chan-woo still had an expression on his face as if he didn’t know what he had done wrong.

“Eat well. Arin, among the pastas here-.”

“Go, I already ordered it.”

I was trying to recommend a menu, but I got kicked out. Pyo Jin-ho also ran away, following Jeong Chan-woo.

Finally, Hyunho Ahn, who was left, looked at us two in turn and clicked his tongue.

“What’s good about this?”

Ahn Hyun-ho asks Yoo Ah-rin, saying he is genuinely curious.

I was going to say something because it was really embarrassing to ask that in front of the person involved.

“You guys are shit, he’s an idiot.”

Yoo Ah-rin responded with a sneer, and eventually Ahn Hyun-ho pouts and grumbles.

“Hey, Kim Woojin. Give me the notebook you promised me last time. You promised to show it to me before the test.”

“I said I’d trade it if you brought me the family tree.”

“Haa, I really need to get a B on this test.”

As Ahn Hyun-ho left, grumbling like that, I felt a moment of worry settle on my chest as I looked at his back.

That’s right.

‘I have to study.’

If I eat this and spend a day with Arin, won’t time be a bit tight?

Just as that thought occurred to me, the food arrived.

Yoo Ah-rin put a pizza right on my plate. Then she stared at my expression and said.

“Should I go and study?”

“Huh? Why?”

“It’s exam period. Come to think of it, I feel like I wasted too much time.”

“No, but… … .”

I want to go to a hotel with Arin too.

Perhaps realizing that such words were on her lips, Yoo Ah-rin smiled softly and replied.

“You can do it anytime.”

It felt really strange to hear him say that. It felt so good to hear him say that he would do it whenever I asked.

“Okay, let’s go and study.”

A one-night stand may feel good, but it would be better to study for the exam for the sake of the future.

Sex is enough even if you do it next time.

Dinner was over quickly.

After saying I was going to the bathroom and finishing paying, I went back to my seat.

“… … Hmm?”

Surprisingly, Pyo Jin-ho and Yoo Ah-rin were talking together.

It was Yu Ah-rin who went to the other table first and started talking.

‘what?’

What’s the situation?

I don’t think the two of you should be talking separately.

I was blankly looking at that while finishing the rest of my cola.

I felt strangely dirty.

“Huh? You’re back already?”

After finishing the story, Yoo Ah-rin came back and sat down across from me with a slightly surprised expression.

“Shall we go? Let’s go Dutch.”

I replied curtly as I watched her pack her bag with an awkward smile.

“I did the calculation.”

“What, you really did that? You said you were going to the bathroom.”

“It hasn’t been that long.”

Yoo Ah-rin, who had been staring at me as I gave a short answer, sighed deeply and explained before I could even ask.

“This time, I’m doing a Taekwondo performance team. I’m gathering team members, so I asked if they could join me before I go into the military. He has a pretty good network of male connections. That’s all.”

“Brother Jin-ho?”

“Even if you can’t compete, your appearance isn’t bad. And since you’re big and strong, you’ll be good at things like lifting and throwing from below, right?”

Arin is being picked up and thrown by Pyo Jin-ho?

“I feel worse.”

As I bit my lip and expressed my annoyance, Yoo Ah-rin, who had been blankly looking at me, let out a hollow laugh.

“, you have two other women, what are you… … .”

“It’s not that I don’t love you. I’m just jealous. I’m so jealous right now.”

To be honest, Yoo Ah-rin had a dumbfounded expression. Then she looked around carefully and took something out of her bag.

That was a belt.

Yoo Ah-rin’s black belt in Taekwondo.

I wondered why she had suddenly taken it out, but Yua Rin grabbed the end and wrapped it around her neck before handing the other end to me.

A shape similar to a leash.

“It’s yours.”

Look at her slyly smiling and flirting. Under the table, she has been stroking my calves with her toes, longing for affection.

It’s a neck leash made of a taekwondo belt.

This is a bit novel.

My heart suddenly relaxed and my lower body felt so tense that I almost fell on him without realizing it.

“Relax, let’s go.”

“Is it supposed to be simple so I like it?”

Yoo Ah-rin, who was speechless, took the belt back.

We went out without even saying goodbye to the idiots, and it was time to go back now that we had had a good dinner.

“Should I call you a taxi? Is there a bus that goes from here?”

“Huh?”

When I ask with a smile, Yu Ah-rin makes a surprised sound.

“Why? The taxi fare is a bit expensive? Pay it?”

“Ah, no… … that’s not it.”

She hesitated for a moment, then tied the black belt around her neck again and held out the end to me.

Another smile appears on her face as if she is pleading for something.

“Hey, are you all done with your anger?”

But I still held on to the string I had received.

“Always like that. You fucking piece of shit!”

Yua Rin grabbed my hair again and started to drag me somewhere with brisk strides.

“Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!”

“Shut up and find the nearest hotel!”

“Oh, you said you weren’t doing it today?!”

“If you put a leash on a woman, shouldn’t you show that you’re prepared for it?”

“You put the leash on yourself?!”

“Let’s go, I’ll wear a taekwondo uniform or something!”

anyway.

I was holding the leash, but Yua Rin was dragging me by the hair.

In a strange way we entered the hotel.
