chapter 38
<Ep 38> CC
The dinner menu that day was tomato spaghetti with garlic bread.
Perhaps it was a joke to say that I would make eel rice bowl, Si-eun skillfully prepared the ingredients for spaghetti as soon as she entered the mart.
I go to the various corners and put the ingredients. Even so, I thoroughly checked the price and nutrition facts label. It was truly terrific.
Even though it took a long time to get used to shopping, it was only possible to learn where and what was in this mart.
It has been three months since Si-eun came to our house.
Should I say he came to my house? Since Si-eun started working as a housekeeper right after moving in, it feels awkward without Si-eun at home.
Looking back, it wasn’t that long ago. In the meantime, the distance has been shortened rapidly, and they have developed to a mutual liking. It was surprising.
I look at Si-eun with that thought.
Si-eun rolled up the spaghetti on a fork and brought it to her mouth. It’s a happy face He looked like a child, enjoying the tomato sauce on his lips without even knowing it.
asked with a smile.
“Is it that tasty?”
“Of course not.”
“Because you made it?”
“of course.”
Open your chest and speak out. Now I’ve come to the point where I can’t even hear it.
Raising the corners of my mouth, I also ate spaghetti. It was cumbersome to roll, so I sucked it up like I was eating ramen.
Then, something suddenly came to mind and I opened my mouth.
“I see.”
“yes.”
“At that time, when we went out together.”
“When we went out together, the day we went to the arcade to see a movie?”
“right.”
When she answered, Si-eun put down her fork and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
“Why then?”
Likewise, after wiping his mouth, he said.
“I heard later that there were a lot of kids from our school roaming there.”
“yes. right.”
“Did you know?”
“Understand. It is a famous place.”
Si-eun snorted as if to ask something like that, and then raised the fork again.
But the question is not over yet.
“If you knew, why did you just follow me?”
As soon as she asked that question, Si-eun clenched her fork while rolling the spaghetti and stopped.
Waiting for an answer in an ambiguous silence, Si-eun answered quietly.
“… … I thought it wouldn’t matter if I got caught.”
“What?”
It was like he didn’t know. When asked the question, Si-eun put down her fork again and answered by stroking the cute spots on her lips.
“Until then, you didn’t seem interested in me… … . So, if there is a rumor about the school, will I be interested in it? … I also want to.”
“Foot.”
Hearingly, as he continued to speak, laughter flowed out without me even realizing it.
Si-eun frowned and frowned.
“Do not laugh.”
“sorry.”
After apologizing politely, I covered my mouth and smiled.
The way he fanned his hands as if he was unfamiliar seems to be utterly embarrassed. Now that we’re dating, there’s no need to be shy about this.
Anyway, the plot was a success. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the gaze of other people. My friend even asked me about my relationship with Si-eun.
“Then, did you already have a crush on me?”
“Well, I didn’t think you liked it. Still, I had a feeling that it would be nice to see me as a love object.”
“Isn’t it greed to want to be loved even if you don’t like it?”
“That’s a woman’s heart. Because you don’t know.”
That’s natural. How do I know a woman’s heart? I’ve never been a woman before.
Anyway, pass it on.
“Isn’t it a good thing for you to be rumored about me?”
Wasn’t this the reason for creating an excuse for living next door? With that in mind, I asked, but Si-eun shook her head.
“It doesn’t really matter.”
“Then why did you decide to excuse yourself as the person next door?”
“I didn’t want to be found out that I was working as a housekeeper in this house. Living together even though we are not dating is not good for other people to see.”
“Ugh.”
“Besides, if that were the case, we wouldn’t have walked together on the way home today.”
Si-eun said that as if it was nothing special and started to inhale the spaghetti again.
It was then that the worries that had ended earlier came to mind.
“Seeing that. From tomorrow onwards, you will ask me again. What’s your relationship with you?”
It was once blocked by Sohye’s super save, but the fact that they walked home together is a fact that Sohye cannot shield.
Would it work if I made excuses for being the person next door? But what if there were students from our school at the mart we just went to? The way they go shopping together is not an excuse.
what to do with this I’ve been digging through the spaghetti side of things like that.
“You just have to admit it.”
‘ said Si-eun with a snort.
“What?”
“I can tell you that we are dating. shouldn’t it? Then we will be able to go to school together openly.”
You say it without making eye contact with me. In a way that doesn’t sound like a big deal.
However, Si-eun’s cheeks looked a bit red when she took a peek.
“Well, it is.”
“right? lets think. Up until now, even if we met at school, we pretended not to know each time. How do you think I must have been at that time?”
“How did you feel?”
“Tonight, I have a snack and I have to go back and bother.”
“It’s a very timid revenge.”
I never dreamed that there would be such a relationship with the frequency of coming with snacks.
As she smiled and moved her mouth to eat spaghetti, Si-eun continued as if muttering.
“Because there are many trails in our school… … . It could be that we walk together during public class, when it is difficult to go home, or something like that… … there will be.”
Hesitating, sparse words followed.
Apparently, Si-eun didn’t want to hide her relationship with me.
Of course, there was no reason for me to have to hide it. It is said that big things happen when the publicly dating CC breaks. It’s only been a few days since we started dating, and I don’t want to worry about that.
“Then what?”
With this in mind, I replied with a smile.
“Let’s not hide it.”
◎
That said, there is no chance that a reporter will come to the door of our house or the paparazzi will secretly take pictures of us.
To answer a friend’s question, “Well, we’re dating.” All he could do was feel the glances of people walking around.
That is why Si-eun must have been a popular person. Thinking that I must have always received the attention I feel now, I even felt that it was amazing.
and Wednesday.
Today was the day when Si Eun and Lecture overlapped.
As usual, I walked into the lecture room, but there was something different about it.
Si-eun, who should be in the front row, is nowhere to be seen.
In the rearmost row, there was a silhouette that was not normally seen.
When I arrived at the last seat by the window in the back row, like my reserved seat, the silhouette raised my hand and greeted me.
“hi.”
“Well.”
And next to it, the little girl she had always seen waved her arms and waved goodbye.
“Hello, Hwimin-senpai!”
“yes. hi.”
After saying goodbye, take a seat.
Then I heard a soft knock on the desk from the seat next to me.
“Why don’t you say hi to me?”
Si-eun asked with a frown on her face.
“I wanted to see something in vain.”
“What are you talking about. We were going to go together openly.”
“I didn’t know we were going to be together so openly.”
To give up the seat for honor students you used to sit on and come next to me. It’s so much fun, but I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
“I have one more colleague in the back seat.”
Seeing us having a small quarrel, Sohye grinned.
Did you hear the rumor that they started dating? Well, even if you didn’t hear it, you would know. It wasn’t that it wasn’t, but the fact that he confessed was found out, so he wouldn’t be able to know if he didn’t know.
“Thanks, I couldn’t sleep.”
“You shouldn’t sleep during class.”
“You can’t do anything else. Are you going to be scolded by Si-eun senior?”
“Are you going to scold me?”
When I asked Si-eun, Si-eun smiled and said.
“I’m going to throw my laptop away.”
“yep.”
That being said, there was no point.
After all, I have been listening to the professor’s lectures for a long time.
… … But, of course, I don’t have the chin to listen with concentration. Half of the lecture time was spent thinking about miscellaneous thoughts. Half of the other half survived by writing down miscellaneous things in their notebooks.
The remaining 25% could not stand their drowsiness, so they decided to look at Si-eun sitting next to her.
But Si-eun, who was sitting next to him, looked uncomfortable for some reason.
With his eyes closed, his head tilted forward. As I watched the scene, wanting to do something, a thought suddenly ran through my head.
After writing the words in a notebook, I push it towards Si-eun.
Si-eun, who had been concentrating on the lecture, read down her notebook as if she felt a presence.
[Isn’t it because I can’t see it?]
Si-eun looked up at me from her notebook and immediately picked up a ballpoint pen and wrote a reply.
[it’s okay. Because we are recording and recording.]
what is ok I guess it’s not right
He always sits in the front seat, so I thought he was trying to look good to the professor. Maybe my eyesight wasn’t that good?
I’ve never seen Si-eun wearing glasses. Had I put on my lenses, there would have been a bottle of cleaning solution in the room. He didn’t even remember seeing it.
He was good at sharpening, and he never hit furniture. It’s not that noticeable in my daily life, so it wouldn’t be too bad for my eyes.
However, I don’t think it’s good enough to see the blackboard from the back seat.
Maybe he didn’t fit his glasses or lenses to save money.
He was a boyfriend who was indifferent. I write down with a little sense of responsibility.
[sorry. I should have been interested.]
After reading what I had written, Si-eun was startled and shook her head with her lips closed. Then, I quickly write down the letters.
[I’m just sitting here on my own terms. And since I’ve never even talked about snow, it’s natural that I don’t know.]
You don’t want to feel burdened?
Even if I never talked about the eyes, I would have known if I had paid more attention. I can’t deny my fault for being so indifferent to living in the same house with the person I like.
[From now on, I will sit in the front seat.]
After I wrote it down and showed it, Si-eun wrote the answer in a pretty font.
[Thanks, but aren’t you good here? Because I’m sitting next to Sohye.]
[It’s not good to be next to him.]
Why am I selling an absurd trap all of a sudden?
Anyway, Si-eun seemed to be thinking of me. Whether you do something else or sit next to Sohye, you must not change the seat you used to sit in.
then.
[Shall we go get some glasses together?]
After reading this, Si-eun quietly closed her eyes.
Si-eun then caressed her chin and caressed her chin.
[That’s fine. With my own money, of course.]
I wrote down the answer and showed it.
Well, I think it’s okay to just accept this amount of money. Si-eun is still feeling a sense of debt to me. What made it even more burdensome?
[okay.]
So, I decided to organize it in this line. It might make your eyes worse, so it’d be best to get some glasses right now.
I thought the story was over like this, but Si-eun started writing again. For quite a long time, with the ball.
As I waited to write something, Si-eun immediately handed me my notebook and started taking classes again.
Read the text at the end of the notebook.
[I’ll go on a date for the first time after dating.]
Next to the text was a picture of a rabbit-like character rejoicing.
After all, is it your first date?
I had no idea it was a date. Si-eun seemed to catch and accept it quickly.
This is so… … .
Because of that short text, a tickling sensation that is difficult to describe is blooming.
I kept my head down and just smiled for a while.
