“Ugh…”

“Hey, don’t eat too much. Eat as much as you did back then.”

“Kuhhh….”

“Oh, really. It bothers me.”

It was as if a puppy was growling, and Park Ha-eun was just gnawing on the rice, leaving behind the soup in front of her. He seemed to let everyone in the neighborhood know that he was dissatisfied with me, and it was also cute in its own way, so even though he grumbled, it made my dad smile.

“It’s all cooling down, eat it quickly.”

“……Jiwoon is cruel.”

“How shameful.”

“I don’t know. It’s just disgraceful.”

Park Ha-eun was completely upset, so even when her favorite food was served, she was completely upset. Are you trying to go on a hunger strike in front of me? Even so, it would be difficult for you.

“Wow, it tastes sweet. Of course, the soup and rice after school is really delicious.”

“……..”

“Wow, what are kkakdugi?? Is the crunchy texture of eco-friendly organic radish radish real??”

“……..”

“Look at the amount of pork in it. At this level, you can chew 1 piece of meat per spoon, right? The meat and fat mix well together so it melts smoothly, right? Wow.. Is this meat or ice cream??”

“….Chureup.”

It was Park Ha-eun, who pretended to be upset but drooled as she inhaled my soup that was as good as mukbang. Of course, the liquid that came out between my lips quickly returned to its original place, but that did not relieve my hunger.

“Lower pressure…”

“Right, right. Why did you make a fuss when you said you were going to eat well, you little bastard.”

“….I don’t know.”

“I don’t know what I don’t know. When I said I wouldn’t tell you what I talked to Oh Yoon-ah, you were blatantly making a fuss.”

Park Ha-eun shrugged her shoulders for a moment, but still did not stop speaking. It was to the point where I felt like I wouldn’t have to worry about feeling sick if I could chew the food well.

“I told you so. I can’t tell you because I’m a friend with a secret.”

“……Ungh.”

“Another answer is ‘Hung’. If I don’t get out of the sulking mode right away, I’m going home? Did you eat all three bowls by yourself?”

“Ugh…! Oh no! I’m not upset! No, no, everything that was bothering me has been resolved..!!”

It was Park Ha-eun who tried to dissuade me from going home after barely swallowing what was in her mouth. Of course, I really had no intention of going home. This was because my pocket money was not so generous that I could order two bowls of soup and just throw them away.

“Okay then, let’s eat now. Especially this one, I will buy it for you.”

“Oh, no! Because I asked to eat, I…”

“I ordered two bowls, so why are you paying for them? Don’t talk nonsense, just enjoy it when they offer to buy it for you.”

Since I came here with the intention of buying it from the beginning, it didn’t really matter. When I went out strong, Park Ha-eun had no choice but to hold back her words as if she had no choice. The fact that I ordered two bowls of food and was shameless enough to ask that little guy to buy it also played a part.

“Okay.. I’ll buy food next time.”

“Either way.”

“Hee hee. Is that what you promised?”

what. I guess I caught this naturally? In fact, was this the reason why Park Ha-eun immediately refrained from saying anything?

Okay, have you thought about this now and what are you going to do? It’s not like I’m going to die if I eat with him one more time. If it were a relationship that could be properly controlled, it could have happened a hundred times over.

“But erase it… Then, can I ask you just one question?”

“What is it?”

“He… did he confess?”

“Puhak…!!”

It was the moment when half of what I was eating returned to its original home. I coughed a few times as if I was in trouble, and Park Ha-eun, who was embarrassed, came to my side, patted my back, and brought me a tissue.

“Trigram, are you okay!?”

“Cough…! Kellogg..!!”

“Ugh… I guess I asked something pointless… I’m sorry…”

He then wiped the corner of my mouth. It was a very strange feeling as it was my first time experiencing something like this. As soon as the coughing stopped, he gently rubbed my back and looked at me with a concerned face, and there was not a point where I didn’t feel warmth.

However, it seemed like the Virgin Mary couldn’t help but be curious about the story she shared with Oh Yoon-ah. Considering that she had to bring it up, it seemed like the pain in Park Ha-eun’s heart had not been fully resolved yet.

Such a meticulous guy. But still, even this part feels cute.

“It wasn’t like that at all. confession. date. Some. It’s nothing like this, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“G, really!?”

“Then is it real or fake?”

“Wow… I’m really, really glad… Eup!”

After finishing speaking, Ha-eun Park must have felt something strange, so she belatedly covered her mouth.

If I cover my mouth after saying everything, will anything change? If there was anything different other than being cute, that behavior would be understandable.

Well, it’s okay as long as it’s cute. So I decided to pretend not to know.

“You’re better now, so go and eat something. Don’t touch my back for no reason.”

“…Can’t you touch me a little more?”

“Check this.”

“Ugh…! Go, I’ll go…!!”

Did you put honey on my back? Teacher Choi Da-in, too, why are you so upset because you can’t touch my back?

I thought women preferred soft textures, but maybe the data was wrong? Well, even with Hitomi, didn’t everyone give in to something solid in the end? I may have just uncovered a huge secret that all women in the world are hiding.

“Ah, anyway.. it wasn’t a big deal?”

“That’s right. It really wasn’t a big deal, so why do you keep asking so much? Just a happening. It was just a minor incident.”

“Your first meeting with me was just a minor incident…!!?”

This is some kind of auditory hallucination again. Could it be that he hasn’t completely escaped Oh Yoon-ah yet? I picked my ear canal a couple of times for no reason. What on earth are you going to do if you’re only 17 and already suffering from auditory hallucinations, Lee Ji-woon?

“…Something keeps buzzing. Is it because of my mood?”

“Aye, love…!? My pretty voice was treated like a mosquito…? My beautiful voice has even received an offer to be a voice actor…???”

At this point, I really hesitate to look back. Looking at the expression on the face of Park Ha-eun, who was sitting across from me, it seems like it was a real hallucination and not an auditory hallucination.

But even if it wasn’t intentional, it happened to give Oh Yoon-ah a fresh shock. At this point, I was so angry that I might have just stormed out of the soup restaurant. Because he was always a guy who was praised by those around him as an idol.

No, but before that… how on earth did they know my location and come all the way here? When I lived in modern times, there was a conspiracy theory that Bill Gates was planning to implant chips in people’s bodies, and in fact, I even thought that the victim might be me.

“Is my voice really that bad!? When I was in second grade, I participated in a singing contest and won a gold medal!?”

“Ugh, now something is pressing on my shoulder. Is it a ghost?”

“Yes, it’s a ghost! You’re a virgin ghost who won’t move a single step next to you until you listen to what I say!!!”

I want this. Somehow, it seemed like the plot that didn’t involve Oh Yoon-ah was overlooked.

* * *

“Whew.. I’m glad! So, it was all a misunderstanding??”

“Okay, well… let’s leave it at that.”

When I told her that I had treated Oh Yoon-ah as an auditory hallucination, she was our idol who immediately began to interpret it in her own way. He said that his voice was so beautiful that he thought it was an auditory hallucination, and that he was so pretty that he saw it as an illusion.

It was a way of thinking that made it hard to tell whether she was an idol or a princess, but I was worried that the story would get longer if I argued about it, so I decided to just acknowledge it. Because I didn’t really want to have to be sick at the same time like this.

“Anyway, senior! You know what I told you before! That’s it!!”

Growling~

Someone’s belly button ringing as if it had been squeezed. Judging from where the sound was coming from, it was clear that it was coming from Oh Yoon-ah’s seat.

And even if you couldn’t tell by sound, Oh Yoon-ah’s face quickly turned bright red like an apple. She just glanced at me, clutching her stomach.

“Ugh… Is it a secret that my stomach was growling, senior?”

“Everything is a secret.”

“It has to be kept secret! Do you know how many kids in Raon Middle School believe that idols don’t eat or go to the bathroom? Chaam.. I heard this position is really difficult…”

“……Huh.”

Neither the guys who say things like that as a joke nor Oh Yoon-ana, who pays attention to such nonsense, both seem to be normal. So are you a fairy or something? Not eating or pooping?

Look at Park Ha-eun’s expression. That good girl is frowning right now because of you. The taste of the rice has gone down, so I already put down the spoon. Are you going to take responsibility if we lose more weight? Are you going to take responsibility?

“Then you have to satisfy that belief, right?”

“Of course! This is the fate of an idol!”

“Then there’s no need to eat now. Either watch me eat or go home…”

Grrr!!

The belly button ringing even more energetically than before. Now, people around me are starting to pay attention. How can a sound like that come from a person’s stomach?

“….I’m sorry, senior.”

“Say.”

“Ha, can we sit together…?”

“There is no way it could happen.”

Eat at a separate table. You damn idol.
