Idol’s Childhood Friend

chapter 37



37 – Don’t I smell the same as the scent you give me?

“Please take care of Chaewon.”

“Thank you for your help today.”

“Thank you, sister. “I’ll contact you later.”

I say hello to the manager who walked me home.

My greeting was received warmly, but only after giving Chae-won an unpleasant command to rest and not do anything unnecessary did the car that picked us up turn around and leave the complex.

Children playing hard at the playground even after it gets dark, and parents watching and having a conversation.

Just to find out, Chaewon quickly heads to the common lobby, holding a change of clothes, toiletries, and daily necessities that she hastily bought at Daiso with both hands heavy.

For your information, Chaewon entered the password for the entrance to the common lobby.

“Hey, this isn’t your house.”

Only when Chaewon comes to a space where no one is around does she say something quietly.

Answer calmly to the sullen expression that is clearly visible even without turning your head.

“I am not an abandoned child, so why is my home not my home? In the first place, there is no space for two people to sleep in their own room. “Is someone who knows that asking that?”

“You two can lie in bed together.”

“Every time you say something like that, I go crazy—I want to get better.”

I’m so outrageous that I’m not even upset anymore.

Ignoring you for talking nonsense, I entered the elevator first, and Chaewon pressed the button for me and the door closed.

Okay, you and me? He is legally an adult.

What can I see or not? I’ve seen it all too.

So, even more so, my common sense tells me that sleeping together is not possible at ‘this stage.’

It is like an elementary school student who skips the steps that need to be taken in order and solves the basics of mathematics without solving basic mathematics.

I want to do this step by step.

———But this moth-like Jijibae doesn’t know that.

I’m a kid who only wants to cross the line by saying things like, “You made me like this,” “You made me like this,” “You wanted this,” And so on. I wonder if he’d dig his own grave.

No matter how ridiculous I tried to take the lead, I don’t like it that far.

‘Still, I want to confess in a romantic atmosphere.’

As much as Chaewon has a romance, I also have a romance.

“I guess your aunt and uncle were surprised, right?”

“Oh, that’s right. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.”

“Then you will be very surprised.”

“If you had told me you were coming, it would have been a meat side dish for dinner tonight.”

“… “I have to eat porridge?”

“That’s the point.”

“You, warning.”

Ji Ji-bae stabs his side sharply with his elbow, saying that he has no strength in his fist.

I tried hard to block it with a paper bag containing clothes, and before I knew it, the elevator stopped on the 20th floor.

“I’m hungry. “I want to go quickly and eat.”

Chaewon runs at a brisk pace, holding the package containing her dinner.

I know the password to the common entrance, but I don’t know if it’s the password to my house.

I walked slowly and waited for you to open the door, but you didn’t open the door until the moment I stood right next to you.

I was about to tell you the password because I thought I might have forgotten it.

“Shall I show you something amazing?”

You look at me and smile.

“Amazing?”

I answered without thinking much.

Tiriring-. I belatedly understood the situation when I saw the door open as soon as you touched the door lock.

To be exact, it was as soon as I put my ‘thumb’ on it.

“… Hey. “When did you register your fingerprint on the door lock of my house?”

I changed my mind while I was in the military, so it doesn’t even have my fingerprints on it, so why are you here?

I was so shocked and my nose was clogged that I had a blank expression on my face.

“When I came here to steal your album, I left with about 10 fingers on my head.”

“It wasn’t just about ten fingers, it was all of them. Huh, if you’re going to do that, why don’t you do the toes too?”

“Should we do it now?”

“… ….”

“Aunt, uncle. Cutie Chaewon is here~!”

Awesome Ji-bae quickly entered the house after seeing my expression rotting away in an instant.

I go home, shaking my head at the laughable expectation that soon, it will not be me who will be treated like a child in this family, but that Jijibae.

“The lights are off?”

There was no one in the house.

I went straight into the bathroom, left behind Chaewon, who was washing her hands, and turned on the light in the living room and took out my cell phone.

When I turned on the screen, I immediately saw a missed call and an unread KakaoTalk message.

Both came from mom.

「I suddenly want to go on a trip, so I will go to Suncheon with your dad.」

———Wait a minute. This is a situation that wasn’t in my scenario?

“Did you two go out for a walk?”

Just then, my eyes meet yours as you come out after washing your hands. Without realizing it, I avoid his gaze and quickly put my luggage into the room where you will sleep.

“I want to sleep in your room.”

“Why are you sleeping in my room? “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“I like sleeping in bed.”

“If you lay down two mats, they will be soft.”

“Just give me your room! “He said he would take good care of me today!”

“… “Are you using a cheat key?”

I mutter and lift my luggage again with a sigh.

I slowly opened my room, and Chaewon looked around the room carefully from behind my back.

“Do you want to give me time to clean up?”

“I heard you came in last time too.”

“Uh. “Actually, it is.”

“I’ll bring you a blanket and a pillow, so go and eat.”

“I can just use yours———.”

“Write it.”

“… Okay. “Am I eating first?”

I leave you heading straight to the table and quickly wash your hands in the bathroom.

‘No matter how much I think about it, this isn’t it.’

He lets out a laugh and shakes his head.

To begin with, our main house and the house where Chaewon lives alone are a 20-minute drive away if the road is not blocked.

Chaewon’s family also moved to Yongin, but this place is also less than 30 minutes away from my house if the road is not blocked.

I would like to tell you to just go to your house and get recuperated, but……

“I wonder if that will work….”

I lower my head and mutter.

I sighed and trudged out of the bathroom, motioning for you to come quickly.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had porridge, and it’s really delicious. Min-ah, you too, eat before it gets cold.”

Sit on the chair across from you and lift the spoon. I finished my porridge as I glanced at your deliciously eating face……

“I heard your aunt and uncle are coming in three days?”

Cheolpodeok-. With that one word, the porridge that was on the spoon falls down weakly.

When I lifted my stiff head, the KakaoTalk record of my conversation with her mother was in front of me.

“Minah, are you going to take good care of me?”

Seeing that grinning figure, dry saliva went down my throat.

+++

“Min-ah, can I wash?”

“If I tell you not to wash, then you won’t wash?”

“… No fun.”

You click your tongue and enter the bathroom.

Okay, this is a good response.

I clenched my fists and flopped down on the sofa.

The next 30 minutes will be comfortable, I sighed with relief.

“Minah~.”

As soon as I feel safe, he calls my name.

I try to smooth out my wrinkled eyebrows and answer quietly.

“… Why.”

“Can I use your cleansing foam?”

“If that’s the case, why did you go to Olive Young?”

“Okay. So, can I use it?”

“… Follow your heart.”

Shoo, only then can I hear the sound of water.

Now I can really rest in peace———

“Minah~.”

“…… Why again?”

“Which of the shampoos here is yours?”

“Why? Are you going to use that too?”

“Ugh.”

“… “Dark green barrel.”

“Okay~.”

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

“Body wash is white.”

So please stop asking.

I swallowed my words with difficulty and headed back to the sofa with tired steps.

I only said a few words, but why am I so upset?

“Ah, today’s middle school friends.”

When I think about it, there are more than one reason why I feel discouraged.

I thought I was a person who exercised to some extent, but I sounded like a frog in a well.

“hahahaha.”

When I first marched, I felt like I was losing consciousness.

I tossed my cell phone on the side of the sofa, found it, and turned on the screen.

Surprisingly, there were still two hours left until the day ended.

I turned off my phone, imagining a future where I would be lying in bed tomorrow, not Chaewon, but to my surprise, I got a phone call.

“… “What is this supposed to do?”

Surprisingly, it was the patient Han Chae-won who was recuperating at our home.

-When I was about to take a shower, I was bored.

“If I’m bored, I think about taking a quick shower and coming out.”

-I’m so tired today, so I’ll just take a 20-minute bath in the bathtub. In that sense, I made a call.

“… “I’m really curious, but isn’t there a lot else to do?”

I felt so wronged and moved that my voice became agitated without me even realizing it.

You can watch YouTube, Netflix, music, and at least call other people.

Of course, it was obvious why he chose the option of calling me among so many options.

-You decided to take care of me or not?

If I were to interpret it, it was what you said, and it meant that you should receive the karma you had accumulated.

Look at this guy, he’s using gabulgi again.

“… So, what would you like us to talk about for 20 minutes?”

-What about an old couple’s argument?

“Are we born in Solon?”

-Don’t be too quick.

“… “What is the topic?”

Are you sad or not when your lover says ‘yes’ and hangs up after you said ‘good night’?

Are you disappointed or not when your lover says that a celebrity is prettier than you?

I will omit the following to my lover who said he would risk the 2-hour round trip but told me not to come because it would be difficult for him.

It was a topic of debate that I didn’t understand, to the point where I wondered why we were fighting over something like this……

-No, isn’t it right that they should say that I am prettier than Jang Won-young?

“No, you’re saying you’re sad because there are so many people in the world who can beat Jang Won-young?”

-What is it? So you’re saying I’m uglier than Jang Won-young?!

“… “That’s usually the case, when did I ever say that?”

-What is it? So, if I had an average appearance, were you trying to say that Jang Won-young is prettier?!

“… Why do you make that assumption?”

We fought. It wasn’t just a fight, it was a really big fight.

I must have been so immersed that when I applied my logic thoroughly, I heard the sound of water splashing violently and the constant ‘Are you T?’

20 Minutes? We picked one topic and talked about it for 10 minutes, for a total of 30 minutes.

I will never argue with you again.

“Let me dry my hair.”

What came after an unexpected emotional drain due to a couple’s argument was labor drain.

“… “You’ve never dried a woman’s hair before?”

“This is the time to learn. I know it’s an honor to be able to dry Ever Han Chae-won’s hair like no one else…….”

“Look at her hair falling. What are you folding? “Even grandma’s home-cooked rice is no better than this.”

“You, warning.”

I started drying my hair with two warnings.

Towel dry the scalp and ends in this way, hair dryer in that way, dry essence, warm wind and cold wind, and if you want to add volume while drying, start from the inside……

Anyway, the hairdresser in Cheongdam-dong taught me the same method, and after trying it myself, I thought I knew why hairdressing makes a lot of money.

“Minah. “Don’t I smell the same as you?”

In the meantime, Ji-Bae did not forget to do meticulous flirting.

“We used the same shampoo, body wash, and even lotion, so it’s strange that it doesn’t break out, Chaewon.”

Of course, it was impossible.

After that, I walked around like her servant.

She sits on the sofa in the living room and watches TV, turns on the fan, brings me water to take my medicine, and even brings me snacks if I’m bored.

… What. I didn’t imagine something like this and agreed to it.
