Idol’s Childhood Friend - Chapter 39
39 – Naturally planning to date publicly
“Honey, are you awake?”
“… Why am I your baby? “Hasn’t your fever gone?”
“You idiot, you bounce. Cute?”
Should we call it an instinctive rejection?
After being called ‘Yamma’ and ‘Jsasha’ for 15 years, it suddenly changed to ‘Jigi’, so my body and mind rejected it, saying I wasn’t ready.
Of course, she said she didn’t show it to anyone else, but Chaewon must have seen it in her eyes, so she smiled and pulled my cheek.
In the meantime, idols are said to be idols, and even though they woke up together, their skin was as clean as if they had just washed their face, and above all, they were prettier.
Although I usually think she’s pretty, something feels different.
Speaking of that something, of course.
“The day is coming when I really date you.”
The warm sunlight of late morning came brightly through the window.
I stare at your face lying right next to me, brushing my hair away and laughing.
“You have succeeded in life. “I am yours, no one else’s.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“How do you feel? “He became my boyfriend?”
“What about fever? “Did you get off a lot?”
I feel embarrassed when asked persistently, so I say something else.
As if she had read this, you smiled and nodded at her with an expression that said you would take a look. Then, you wiggled inside the blanket and pressed your foreheads together.
It felt like we were approaching a little too quickly, so it would be closer to say we collided rather than touching, but we can do even the smallest of actions like this without hesitation.
I can laugh without hesitation at your actions, calling them cute.
It was definitely a happiness that could not easily be eliminated.
“How are you, doctor?”
“It rained a lot. “It’s definitely easier to go to the hospital.”
Heat that can hardly be felt even when checked with the hand. My hand naturally goes down my forehead and reaches my cheek, and for no reason I rub it with my thumb.
“This feels good.”
I burst out laughing again at the sight of him reacting like a puppy.
“How is your physical condition? “Are you not coughing or having a runny nose?”
“Except for being a little creepy. Ah, it would be nice to have someone give me a warm hug at times like this.”
You wriggled like a caterpillar and came completely into my arms.
In the past, I would have laughed at jokes like this and moved on……
No, I guess we never slept under the same blanket in the first place.
Smile slightly and hold hands.
“Looking at who you said, does that mean it’s okay if it’s not me?”
You look at me intently as if you find this laughable.
“I like it, but there’s no reason to be proud. So give me a hug.”
He stretched out his arms and naturally wrapped them around my shoulders.
I also looked at the ceiling and stretched out my arms to wrap around my body in order to embrace them together……
“Is our Min crazy? “Are you still showing off your talent even though I taught you that yesterday?”
“Tap, tap, tap…” !!!”
I am trapped in the hell of hugs that I have only heard about.
Those who say they can die here should go to the gym and get choked once.
Die, that means I will die.
“Don’t try to push me around like a brat. “Otherwise, you’ll really eat it up.”
“You were the one who pushed and pushed me in the first place… ?!”
“Ah. “I see.”
Mr. Naeronambul Han relaxed his strength as if something had occurred to him only then.
When I look at him with resentful eyes, he puts his hands together and closes one eye cutely.
“Morning kiss?”
“No matter how much I like you, we start with mouthwash in the morning———.”
“Is this something you would say to an idol? What are you going to say to your girlfriend? Die. Just die… !!”
It was summer.
+++
Because I was born and raised in a dual-income family, simple soups and stews were nothing. If you feel like something is lacking, just add MSG.
But aside from that, one of the easiest soups to prepare is seaweed soup, and seaweed soup shows its greatest value when you serve it to others.
It is not difficult to make, but since the past, the image of a dish made with sincerity has been strongly planted, so if the taste is good, it can receive rave reviews.
“Let me eat the soup you made every morning.”
Look, it was highly praised.
… Is it high praise? That would be high praise, right?
Anyway, after eating, we took our medicine together.
It’s not like I have a cold, but I guess I kissed someone with a cold anyway. I don’t even know how many hours it took.
Since I have to tutor next Monday, taking care of my health was also essential.
“Tutoring? “What are you doing?”
That’s how the story began.
“First of all, math and English. “On top of that, they sometimes help me with some of the problems I couldn’t solve in other subjects, and now that I’m a freshman in high school, they also give me consulting on what to do with my life.”
“Oh, you really seem like a first-class instructor?”
“Do you know why these people make so much money? “I’m only teaching two people, but there’s a lot to worry about.”
“Does that mean you can afford to date me?”
As Chaewon nodded with a meaningful smile, she clapped her hands with a satisfied expression.
He immediately took out his cell phone, showed me his wish list of places he wanted to go with, and smiled, saying he was looking forward to it.
“But what about our domestic helper? I’ll put you in the upper mid-level of the industry. Instead, there are always more than 5 side dishes.”
“Possible. “Do you have 4 major insurance policies?”
A leisurely weekday lunch for the first time in a while.
As is the case during this time zone, there isn’t much to watch on TV, so I just turn on the news.
I watch you peeling apples while sitting on the sofa, making silly jokes.
It’s clumsy, but it’s definitely something I’ve done a few times. I saw this somewhere, so I cut it into the shape of a rabbit.
I say thank you and take a bite of the apple given to me.
“How are the kids? “Are you listening well?”
“Luckily. He is sincere and has a clear will to study. And now that I’ve been teaching it for a month, my grades are going to improve quickly because my understanding is so good.”
“I’m glad.”
“I have to look at my 9th grade results next month. “If it comes out okay, you continue, and if you’re not satisfied, bye bye.”
“I can’t see who the teacher is. “It’s not Seohyun High School’s pride, Seoul National University student, Han Chae-won’s boyfriend Kang Yu-min.”
“… “What does the last matter?”
“Self-interest.”
Chaewon smiles and hands me an apple on a fork.
I take a bite of the apple she was holding in my hand and grab the fork she handed me.
“If you do well on the exam, I decided to skip tutoring later. “I’ve never seen anything more motivating than being able to skip studying.”
“It’s the best. “There is nothing better than that.”
“It’s a shame that I missed out on my part, but I don’t do it just for the money. “I feel really happy when the child I teach gets good grades.”
She shrugs and finishes eating the rest.
While she was mindlessly watching the news, her cell phone rang.
He was one of the friends who was being tutored for not being a nobleman.
“Who?”
“Tutor student. I suddenly sent a text message saying something big happened, but you know what, right? “It’s probably a bad reason.”
As the news moved to the sports field, Chaewon, who had lost interest, came next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Then he naturally folded his arms and asked me to play, and I burst out laughing as if I was back in elementary school.
He turns his phone screen slightly to the side so that Chaewon can see it too.
“What a cute friend.”
“Why?”
“I want to give my best friend a surprise birthday party, but that day happens to be the day I get tutoring.”
“But are you sending it like this? “Aren’t you really the devil?”
“If you say you will understand right away, you will become spoiled.”
“But still, what does ‘Are you saying I want to eat raw green onions too?’ “I really hate it~”
Chaewon taps my shoulder with a disgusted expression.
“You want to see this? This guy’s build-up is just like a player, player. “Why am I so good at build-up, but I’m so wrong when it comes to composition?”
“These days, high school friends take pictures with this feeling. “It’s so cute.”
The point is that their interests diverge.
After exchanging messages for a while, we ended our KakaoTalk conversation by agreeing to do it the day after the original class, and just then we got up from the sofa to the sound of the washing machine beeping.
The rain has stopped and the sun shines brightly, making it a perfectly pleasant day to dry the blankets.
That time when I brought the laundry from the balcony and spread out the drying rack in the living room to dry it.
“Minah, first of all, I’m sorry.”
An unexpected apology. I suddenly wondered if I had anything to apologize for, so I spread the blanket and looked towards Chaewon……
“Who is Mr. Autumn?”
Udangtang-! A drying rack that falls over without power.
As soon as the name that had been disappearing from my memory for a while reached my ears, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Why does that name come out..?”
Within even a day of dating, the name of my former blind date came up.
+++
“So, we went on a blind date almost a month ago, and we haven’t met since then?”
“I can assure you”.
“Raise your hands straight up.”
“… Chaewon, but I feel unfair.”
“Chaewon… ?”
“Chaewon. “Please listen to me.”
I gently lower my eyes at the look in my eyes that looks like it could tear me in two at any moment.
For your information, I am also kneeling.
From noble mtl dot com
… This is my house.
“What?”
“No, uh. Yes. It’s nothing.”
A respectful expression that comes out of nowhere.
I looked at Chaewon little by little, paying close attention to her, and then, as if she had decided to listen to me, I gave her permission to put her hand down.
“Try it. “If it even feels like a lie, I’ll die.”
“Nothing really happened.”
“But does it make sense to stay friends?”
“To be exact, I said we should stay as brothers and sisters.”
“So. “Why didn’t I get an after date, so I’m like her brother and sister?”
“I don’t feel like it, but we’re okay with each other as people———.”
“Do you think I’m doing this just to hear that?”
A disgruntled expression and even colder eyes.
In fact, isn’t the legend of Medusa turning people into stone incorrect to say she turned people into ice?
“Answer.”
“Oh, yes.”
It was not the time to think nonsense.
We spent a very long time trying to explain.
I told him everything, including how I ended up going on a blind date, why I went on a blind date, and why I thought it wasn’t right……
“My girlfriend is Han Chae-won, how can I lose sight of her?”
“… Again.”
“Ah, I’m happy to be in a relationship.”
“hehehe, again.”
“… I like you?”
“That’s the correct answer, Kang Yu-min.”
You’re simple even when you’re dating.
In the end, I tried to forget you, but when I tell you the story of how I refused because I couldn’t, the corners of my mouth almost touch my ears.
I use my chest as a backrest and stroke your head that came into my arms.
“Actually, it doesn’t really matter if you have a female friend.”
“Me too.”
“But, when I saw KakaoTalk, I got angry? “Especially when he affectionately calls you my oppa.”
“…That can’t be helped. “It’s strange that you call me Yumin when you’re just a friend.”
“A big problem has occurred. “Aren’t I obsessed?”
Chaewon turns her head to look at me.
I burst out laughing when I saw your face looking at me with a truly worried expression.
“Is that what you’re worried about?”
“Are you okay if I text you every day?”
“I guess you forgot that you sent me a KakaoTalk message every day when I was in the military?”
“…… “Is that so?”
“It’s okay because I don’t think it’s a bother.”
“What do you mean by asking to meet every day on your days off?”
“Isn’t it home anyway? “It would be difficult if I went out to play with you and got caught by the Dispatch teachers.”
Dating is good, but in the end, Chaewon is an idol.
As much as it attracts attention wherever you go, it’s unfortunate that the places you can meet are extremely limited, but that’s reality and isn’t it a responsibility we have to bear?
When he kept gently stroking my head and telling me it was okay.
“Let’s make a plan.”
“Plan?”
“I plan to date openly naturally.”
Chaewon looks into my eyes with her solemn expression.
