The first thing I do after coming out is to take a deep breath of fresh air.

I took a deep breath, puffing out my chest, and the clean, cool air typical of the upper zone filled my lungs.

“Hey, Jeff…”

“Huh?”

I looked back at Rain’s words.

Rain, who followed me, was looking at me with an anxious look on his face and biting his lip.

What’s the problem this time?

“Is it really okay for the two of us to come out?”

I tilted my head at Rain’s words.

Why on earth would you ask such a thing when just a few days ago, the two of you were just wandering around here and there?

As I was thinking like that, I was able to find my reflection in the glass of a large building.

A girl of about the same height as Rain stood with a manly expression.

It looks pretty no matter when I see it.

I nodded.

No problem.

“If you’re anxious, try Rain first.”

I started to move, leaving Rain, who was shaking with anxiety, alone.

As I walked for a while, moving my short legs hard, I heard Rain’s small footsteps behind me.

Rain, who had come running, clung to me tightly.

The first place Lane and I headed was a large sandwich shop nearby.

Rain licked his tongue as if he was already thinking of the delicious sandwich.

Maybe it was because it overlapped with lunch time.

I pouted my lips as I looked at the long line stretching before my eyes.

Still, it was fortunate that I didn’t have to wait in line for a long time since it was a sandwich with a fast turnover rate.

As I started waiting in line alongside Rain, people’s eyes started to gather.

I flinched at the sudden increase in gaze.

How did this not receive this much attention just a few days ago?

The only thing that’s changed is that I’ve gotten a little smaller.

“Huh.”

I shook my head and thrust my chest forward.

What if there are a lot of eyes?

I was confident.

As a proud adult, I just stood in line to get a sandwich.

How much time has passed like that?

The line gradually got shorter and it was Lane and I’s turn.

The moment I approached the counter, I realized something big.

If we stand this close, the staff won’t be able to see me or Lane.

I jumped up from my spot and hung on the counter.

My legs were dangling without touching the ground.

“Gasp…”

The employee who had been standing there blankly opened his eyes wide and stepped back, looking quite surprised at my sudden appearance.

I rapped the counter with my palm and focused his gaze.

“This. Give me this.”

Extend your finger and point to the most popular menu items.

Even looking at the sample photos, it looks so delicious that my mouth is already watering.

Rain, who was next to me, saw me and jumped up and hung on the counter just like me.

The staff’s gaze turned to Lane next to me.

“This is me.”

Lane chose the spicy sandwich.

“Hey, hey. Where are your parents? Did you two come here alone?”

“Is Mom at home?”

I answered the staff’s questions confidently.

Why are my parents looking for me?

I looked up at him, tilting my head, and the employee nodded with a look of relief on his face.

I continued to hang on the counter, waiting for my sandwich to come out.

Not long after, my sandwich and Rain’s were brought forward, wrapped in a pretty package.

I handed over my card and finished paying.

After accepting our sandwiches, Lane and I jumped down from the counter and ran outside.

I came out, carefully removed the packaging, and looked at the sandwich.

The delicious ingredients sandwiched between the large pieces of bread stimulated my taste buds.

Slightly melted cheese, ham sticking out of the side, and fresh vegetables filling it all up.

It was a truly perfect sight.

The moment I was about to take a big bite of the sandwich, I discovered one problem.

The mouth just got smaller.

Even though I opened my mouth wide, I couldn’t eat the whole sandwich in one bite.

This way, I wouldn’t be able to eat while walking.

If you walk around eating with a small mouth, the contents inside will definitely spill out.

“Rain.”

“Huh?”

“Let’s go to the park and eat.”

“Okay.”

Rain nodded to my words.

So Rain and I headed to a large park nearby.

The spacious park with a large fountain in between was a wonderful place that was just as good as the model park Jin had created.

I sat down on a nearby bench with Rain and started eating my sandwich.

Merge – Even if you open your mouth as wide as you can, the amount you can eat at once is very limited.

How did Rain survive for so long with such a small body?

I have come to respect Rain all over again.

After eating delicious food, I started to feel excited.

He hums a little tune and rocks his feet back and forth.

“You like it that much?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded to Rain’s question.

Is it because I solved Shine’s problem?

I felt relieved as if a huge burden that had been weighing on my mind had been lifted.

It was so light, I felt like I could fly.

The huge sandwich disappeared in an instant.

As I was licking the sauce left on my fingers, Rain came closer and licked my cheek with his tongue.

At the feeling of the soft and smooth tongue, I frowned slightly and Rain smiled slightly and said.

“Because it was on my cheek…”

Still, I lick it and eat it.

If you had told me, I would have wiped it with a handkerchief.

I wiped my cheek, which was damp from Rain’s spit, with my hand.

At that moment, I could see the red sauce on Lane’s cheek.

It was so funny how he could easily find the thing on my cheek, but couldn’t find the thing on his own cheek.

I reached out with a handkerchief to wipe her cheek, then leaned forward.

Lane, who was neatly folding the sandwich wrapper, stepped back, looking greatly embarrassed at my approaching figure.

Why is this chick doing this?

I frowned and grabbed Lane’s shoulder.

“Okay, wait! Jeff…! Everyone’s watching…”

As I got closer, the corners of Rain’s mouth twitched.

At the sight of her, not knowing what on earth she was imagining, he stuck out his tongue and licked her cheek.

The wet, smooth tongue licked up Rain’s soft cheek, and Rain blinked.

“You got it on your cheek too.”

“Oops…”

Did you think I would kiss you in front of everyone?

I opened my mouth wide and bit her cheek, seeing Rain having such a mischievous thought.

The soft and smooth cheeks are long and stretched out.

At the sight of it, which resembles cheese, a snicker escapes.

“Ahhh… It hurts…”

Lane touched her swollen cheek and made a sad face.

I looked at the red mark on Rain’s cheek and felt a strange sense of emotion.

I think I finally understand why Shine keeps leaving teeth marks on my body.

After finishing lunch, I started feeling sleepy.

With a deep yawn and stretching out her legs, Lane jumped down from the bench.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll buy you ice cream!”

Is it time for dessert now?

Rain’s words reminded me of the ice cream shop near the park entrance.

It seemed like he was trying to buy it there.

Rain ran away without even listening to my answer.

You know what flavor I like, so don’t worry, right?

I crossed my arms, watching the back of Rain as he walked away.

And so Rain disappears from sight.

I felt an inexplicable sense of unease at the sight of Rain’s disappearance.

No. Even though he looks like that, Rain is a fully grown adult.

You’re older than me.

I nodded my head while thinking to myself, but as expected, I couldn’t hide my anxiety.

Eventually I jumped off the chair.

As I walked slowly and arrived at the entrance of the park, I was able to find Lane sitting on the ground with a tearful face.

I saw two large ice cream cones lying on the floor, and it seemed like they had dropped them while running excitedly.

I approached Lane and patted her head.

“Jeff?”

“You can just buy it again.”

“Ugh…”

I helped Lane up from her slumped position, took her hand, and led her to the ice cream shop.

The sweet smell wafting from the entrance of the store once again stimulates the appetite.

I licked my tongue and headed inside the store with Rain.

As I entered the store, I squinted at the height of the counter.

The counter was high here too.

I felt like I had no choice but to hang up there to place my order.

I jumped up from my seat and spoke confidently.

“Strawberry cone! Vanilla cone! Two of the biggest ones!”

The employee who had been sitting there blankly blinked at my words, smiled slightly, and then got up from his seat.

This time, they didn’t ask if I came with my parents.

I thought it would be okay to leave a compliment sticker at this store.

After receiving my ice cream and paying the bill, I took out my notebook, wrote down the name and location of the ice cream shop, and put a compliment sticker on it.

I planned to come back again the next time I passed by here.

Eat ice cream while walking.

It was a huge ice cream cone, but I couldn’t hold it in my mouth.

Rain looked at his empty hands with regret, as if he had already eaten all the ice cream.

“Hey Jeff. Where are you going this time?”

I put the rest of the ice cream in my mouth and munched on it at Rain’s words.

I ate rice and dessert.

To be honest, I wanted to take a nap.

I extended my finger and pointed to a building.

“Over there.”

“Gasp…”

Rain looked where I was pointing and took a deep breath.

What he is thinking is clearly shown on his facial expression.

I quickly added before Lane could start talking nonsense.

“I’m going to take a nap.”

“Me, just taking a nap…?”

“Yeah.”

The place I pointed to was a hotel.

A large, well-equipped hotel.

When I was out and about alone, I often used it for napping purposes.

I headed to the hotel with Rain.

Rain looked at me with a strange look of anticipation, as if he still hadn’t let go of his foolishness.

Even if you look at it that way, I won’t do it.

I shook my head and entered the hotel.

The lobby gets passing marks for its clean appearance.

As I nodded and headed toward the counter, the hotel staff’s eyes turned to me.

“Please give me a room.”

I said confidently.

Just like before, when you use other places, you just hold out your card.

The employee who had been blankly staring at me leaned away from the counter and looked around me and Lane.

I looked at him with my arms crossed.

“Are you two here?”

I nodded to the staff member’s question and took out my citizenship card from my bosom.

Two documents, a card and citizenship certificate, were sufficient for identification.

The employee who was looking closely at my citizenship looked at Lane next to me with a look of incredulity.

Rain also proudly presented his citizenship.
