“… … .”

I was just staring blankly at the ceiling, with no particular thoughts in my mind.

Life really sucks, that’s all.

Anyway, I wanted to curse today with all the curses inside me.

It was great to set off on a bike trip.

For lunch today, I planned to go to a jajangmyeon restaurant and order jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk to eat alone.

It must be incredibly luxurious.

Right now, I’m just hungry because I can’t even eat lunch properly, let alone indulge myself.

“Oh, shit.”

I actually liked the time I talked to the kids earlier.

Even though I had to repeat the same explanation of what happened three times, I still felt good just hearing the kids’ voices.

The accident itself wasn’t a big deal.

It wasn’t that bad of an injury.

I just had a crack in my leg and had to wear a cast.

The doctor said I could be discharged, but in case there were any aftereffects, he told me to stay in the hospital for a day and then go, so I’m just lying there blankly.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Then the cell phone rang again.

I was bored so I quickly took it, and I heard my older brother’s slightly agitated voice.

– I heard there was an accident.

“Yeah, it happened, but it’s nothing.”

Perhaps feeling a little relieved by my calm voice, my older brother hesitated for a moment and then asked in a slightly irritated tone.

– What happened?

“As I was passing by an elementary school, a soccer ball that the kids had kicked flew at me.”

– … … .

“So I was falling, and just then a car came out of the alley. I hit it.”

– after.

“I’ve already talked to the parents of the kids who kicked the soccer ball and the car owner. The parents have decided to pay for things like bike and car repairs and medical expenses.”

– okay.

“Actually, it’s more regrettable that I can’t go on a trip than that.”

– … … .

Perhaps because of the light-hearted tone of explanation, the older brother seemed somewhat relieved.

– How long will you be hospitalized?

“One day. I’m going to stay in the dorm starting tomorrow.”

– Come down to your hometown.

Those words immediately make me frown.

“Ah, I don’t like it.”

– Come down and stay. Your leg is cracked, so you’ll need someone next to you.

“I’ll take care of it. And I have a lot of friends in the dorm, so just ask them.”

– Phew… … Mom will be worried. And Dad too.

Father too?

Well, that could be possible.

I think it will fill in the nitty-gritty of what we are worried about.

“I’ll try it out. If I really can’t live like this, I’ll go down.”

– … … .

The older brother didn’t answer separately.

However, after a long silence, the call was abruptly hung up.

It made me strangely uneasy, but I just ignored it for now and looked around the bamboo forest.

Now that the vacation has started.

Even in the bamboo forest, writings are not uploaded properly.

Maybe that’s why.

“… … I’m bored.”

Feeling a sense of emptiness, I put my phone in my pocket.

* * *

“Hey, what do you want to eat?”

“… … .”

“Are you there?”

Yua Rin, who was wearing an apron, was irritated and questioning me.

I wondered why he was suddenly getting annoyed by himself, but I thought it might be because he wasn’t very confident in his cooking skills.

“… … Kimchi fried rice?”

I answered with a heavy heart.

Yoo Ah-rin gritted her teeth and expressed her dissatisfaction with the menu selection.

“Still, it seems like the conclusion was that this girl could make something like this?”

How did you know?

“Just stay still. I’ll make you something really delicious.”

If that’s the case, why did you ask me for the menu?

“Do you have ramen at home?”

When I asked cautiously, Yu Ah-rin raised her hand.

“There’s nothing in your mouth.”

Oh man, you’re so ill-tempered.

I quickly sent a text message to Seo Ye-rin, who had decided to come to Yoo Ah-rin’s house.

– Kim Woo-jin: Buy some ramen when you come.

– Seo Ye-rin: ? Is this a sex appeal?

Oh, I feel dizzy.

– Kim Woo-jin: No, just buy me some ramen to eat. Because Yoo Ah-rin will cook.

– Seo Ye-rin: Huh?

After saying that, I sit on the sofa and close my eyes for a moment.

Why am I at Yuarin’s house?

Of course, it was because Yu Ah-rin brought it.

I was admitted to the hospital yesterday and am discharged today.

Yoo Ah-rin, who came to pick me up as I was leaving for the dormitory, brought me straight to her house.

I’ve been here before.

Just like that time, the house is empty, so it seems like my parents have gone out.

‘Because I said I don’t have any brothers or sisters.’

Maybe that’s why the spacious house felt a bit empty.

“If you’re bored, watch TV.”

At Yua Rin’s suggestion to create something, my eyes were drawn to the large TV in the living room, but I didn’t feel like watching it.

“… … Where is your room?”

Rather than that, I wanted to see Yu Ah-rin’s room, but she glanced at me and pointed to the room closest to the entrance with her hand.

“There. But even if you go in, there’s nothing to see.”

Then does that mean I can come in?

I get up and head to Yua Rin’s room. Now that I think about it, I didn’t get to see the room last time.

I quickly turn the doorknob and step inside.

I’ve seen Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo, but what will it be like to see Yoo Ah-rin?

“… … What is this.”

For a moment, I was confused as to whether I had entered a girl’s room or some kind of weapons storage room.

There were swords, staffs, nunchakus, spears, and even what appeared to be guns hanging out there.

“Huh.”

Before I knew it, Yu Ah-rin, who was standing behind me, was giggling. Then, she picked up a knife that was leaning next to the door and stabbed me in the body.

“It’s awesome. I think we’ll need it when we film our videos, so the teacher bought it for us this time.”

“Aha, you bought it because of YouTube?”

I just found out.

Yoo Ah-rin, who said she would create a taekwondo performance team.

But how could a performance group without a name get on stage from the beginning?

I heard that you first made yourself known on YouTube as part of your marketing and as another source of income.

So I heard they’ve been choreographing recently. The weapons here are probably the ones they’ll be using then.

“It’s not just about showing Taekwondo. Yoonji said that things like the story and directing are also quite important.”

“Oh, that’s true.”

It’s good to have a flashy performance, but it wouldn’t be so bad to have a story.

“But why is this in your room?”

I thought she should be at the Taekwondo gym, but Yu Ah-rin sighs and grumbles.

“There are a lot of kids in the Taekwondo gym. From kindergarteners to elementary school kids. If there’s something like this, they’ll try to touch it and play with it.”

“Well, elementary school kids are scary.”

This time, elementary school kids got hit by a soccer ball and ended up like this, so their innocent behavior was something to be wary of.

“Take it only when you need it.”

“Take it alone? It’ll be hard.”

“There are some seniors and juniors who decided to do it together this time. They will come and get it.”

“Hmm.”

I lifted up a window standing next to me. I wanted to say something cool, but I didn’t know much about historical dramas, so I didn’t have anything specific to say.

“Don’t play with it and break it. Come out.”

“Yep.”

It was a refreshing sight, more refreshing than I expected.

As I was going outside, the doorbell rang.

Seo Ye-rin was here.

“Woojina! Woojina! Are you okay? Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? Can you go to the bathroom by yourself?”

Seo Ye-rin came inside in a flustered manner. She was carrying something in her hand, and upon closer inspection, she saw that it was something like clothes or toiletries.

“What, you’re going to sleep here?”

I thought it was natural that Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin would be like that since they were friends from the beginning.

“Are you going to sleep too?”

Seo Ye-rin came to me and asked what I was talking about.

Huh? Me?

When I glance at Yu Ah-rin, who is stir-frying something, the boy avoids my gaze as if he feels awkward for no reason.

“My parents went on a trip this time. So the house will be empty for about a week. Since you’re hurt, it would be good if you stayed with me.”

“Your parents are really happy together.”

I heard you went on a trip the last time I visited, and now you’re going again.

“Anyway! That’s why I decided to stay here too! Mom said she’d let me stay at Arin’s house!”

“… …Your mother?”

Maybe he gave me permission because he didn’t know I was there.

Seo Ye-rin probably didn’t say anything either.

It was a bit of an awkward situation, but anyway, in conclusion.

“Woojin’s single-faced harem sex x life?”

Let’s give this week’s time a name of my own. A fake knife flew by.

It was Yoo Ah-rin who stabbed me earlier.

You said you couldn’t break it, but you’re the one who’s handling it the most.

“Keep that kid’s mouth shut. Oh, shit.”

Grumbling Yoo Ah-rin.

“Ugh, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

On the other hand, Seo Ye-rin clings to me and whispers softly to me.

finally.

“What about this?”

Since we had a falling out before because of the last incident, I thought she wouldn’t just let something like this happen.

“I said I’d come too! I’m going to stop by your room to get your stuff and clothes so I’ll be late.”

“Aha.”

It’s a bit surprising that Lee Seo accepted this situation.

I wonder if the last incident had any impact.

No, wait, so that means you’re going to the dorm?

I immediately took out my cell phone and called Seo.

– Hello? Why?

“Hey, are you in my room now?”

– I’m just about to go in? Why? Is there something I shouldn’t show you?

Choi Yi-seo asks if there is such a thing while smiling.

I said with a sigh of relief.

“Can you bring me all the stuff in the drawer next to the bed?”

– … … It’s not difficult. What is it? Is it important?

“Yeah, really.”

– okay.

Stop.

As soon as I hung up the phone, the food was ready.

“Hey, done. Bring me a spoon.”

Seo Ye-rin let out an exclamation of admiration as she watched Yoo Ah-rin set the food on the table.

“Is this Orion? He made Choco Pies.”

“… … Frozen tteokgalbi, you fucking bitch.”

“What’s that next to it? It looks like some kind of roasted bug.”

“Pilaf.”

pilau?

Did you realize that last time, Choi Yi-seo made samgyeopsal pilaf and got praised by our mother?

Cute guy.

“Yerin, how can you say something like that when you gave me sincerity too?”

I took a bite of the pilaf with a spoon and gave it a thumbs up.

“Choi Yi-seo wins.”

“You son of a bitch! You’re the worst! You eat it all!”

“… … Isn’t this usually when you say not to eat it?”

Why has eating pilaf become a punishment? Was it even cooked correctly in the first place?

It’s like they just make fried rice and call it pilaf.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

– Choi Yi-seo –

“Hey, Seo-ya. Is there anything you want to eat? I think we’ll order some.”

As I said that with a smile, Yu Ah-rin started to whine again.

– Hey, can you bring me what’s in the drawer?

“Yeah, please bring that.”

Choi Yi-seo asks back indifferently.

– It’s a box of condoms.

“Yeah, that’s right. Bring the one on the lower floor too.”

– Is this an adult product?

“That’s right, that’s right. Be sure to bring that.”

– Wow, I’m glad I bought the pay-as-you-go envelope.

“Huh? Iseoya? Iseoya, wait a minute?!”

Stop.

After hanging up, Lee Seo didn’t answer my calls for a while.
