“…Do you have a girlfriend now?”

I just wanted to ask.

Maybe today’s memory was similar to a daily date.

If Taemin oppa had a girlfriend, it was clear that I had done something bad today.

I was so scared that it wasn’t enough that I hugged her, and even after leaving the booth, she asked me to hold her hand.

It was never something I would do to someone with a lover.

So, this gentle trembling that I still feel in my heart, lost its place and waited only for his words.

Is it difficult to answer?

Taemin oppa looked into the distance through the window with his chin resting on his chin.

“…no.”

It was a really sad face.

An expression that seems to be pathetic somewhere, but also bitter.

What is your brother thinking?

-weiying

“I will bring it.”

When the vibrating bell rang, my brother jumped up from his chair and brought me a hamburger, probably wanting to avoid my curiosity.

Before I could say a word, my brother picked up a knife and sliced each burger in exactly half.

“ruler.”

My brother shows me a cross-section of mushrooms.

The savory scent tickled the nostrils.

“thank you.”

I decided to cut myself, so I accepted the half hamburger.

I was really hungry, so I took a big bite.

“Five.”

A taste that exudes elasticity.

It wasn’t that I was making a fuss on the Internet for nothing.

The meat was moist and the bread had a flavor that could not be tasted in franchises.

I glanced sideways to see if my brother was enjoying it too…

“…Have you already eaten?”

“ah. I was hungry too.”

It must have been a lie when he said outside that he was not very hungry.

I hadn’t even eaten a few bites, but my brother was already finishing the second half of the burger.

“I eat a lot of french fries.”

I had a short mouth anyway, so if I ate all the hamburgers, I would feel full.

I was able to concede that much to my brother who suffered.

“Nope. it’s okay.”

He said that, but his body seemed to be honest. My brother’s hand dipped a lot of cheese into the fries and put it in his mouth.

“Is this delicious?”

At least when I realized that I wasn’t doing this with someone who owned it, I felt a little more at ease and asked my brother.

“I know. It’s delicious.”

“Of the two burgers, which one did you like better?”

Personally, I liked both, but I thought the one with mushrooms was a little better.

“I’m just basic? Mushrooms aren’t bad, but I think the basics are better when you can feel the taste of meat.”

“okay?”

If I had told you that I liked the addition of mushrooms, I would have smiled and sympathized with you.

After all, people who are not meant to be are not from this point.

“you?”

“I am a mushroom.”

“…don’t know the taste.”

write…

I also felt it when playing games during the day, but when Taemin oppa spat out words, there was a corner that strangely pissed people off.

“What does it taste like?”

“It is originally a signature, original, and there is a reason why it becomes the signboard menu of the house.”

Wow. How could you say such bullshit with that handsome face?

Some superior appearance seemed to have the effect of appearing more impudent.

“Each person’s taste is different.”

“The chef objectively says it’s the most delicious and sells well, so what can I do?”

This feels very familiar…

That shoulder shrug pose is perfect…

It felt like I took one of the fucking Pingtuks offline.

I never thought I would feel the emotions I feel when broadcasting to Taemin oppa.

It was something familiar, yet annoying.

But, conversely, I was a pro at responding to that kind of attitude.

I’ve dealt with hundreds, even thousands of people a day.

This wasn’t even a thing.

“Ah~ yes~ that’s right~”

The voice tone for broadcasting is naturally installed.

It would be perfect if you hit a temporary block for just 10 minutes here.

Unfortunately, such a convenient function does not exist in reality.

“It can be~”

But why did my brother look at me with a blank face as if he was surprised.

what. Did I make a mistake?

Depending on what I’ve heard, I thought that maybe I could have acted a bit carelessly, but it wasn’t my brother who opened the initiation first…?

“Why… why are you looking at me like that?”

They looked at me so intently that I couldn’t win my gaze and asked.

“Ah… uh… uh…?”

On the contrary, it was her older brother who parented her more.

I jumped up from my seat, struggling with the suddenly awkward air.

“My brother brought it, so I’ll clean it up!”

In fact, all that was left was crumbs of french fries, so it would have been okay to clean it up.

I quickly took the tray and went to the exit area, cleaned up the trash and returned to my seat.

“Aren’t you leaving anything?”

After getting ready to go out first, my older brother held out my cell phone to me.

“I don’t think there is.”

I nodded after checking my pockets for a wallet and earphones.

After leaving the store, we walked towards the bus stop without saying a word.

“I’m riding across from you, what about you?”

“Me too.”

“How many times do you ride?”

“No. 8765.”

“You ride the same thing as me.”

I lived near the school, so the destination was similar.

About 10 minutes until the bus arrives.

“Doah.”

“yes?”

Inadvertently thinking that it was regrettable that today was coming to an end, I came to my senses at my brother’s call.

“Well… I came there for an assignment, but…”

“yes.”

“Today…wasn’t it fun?”

…kill it.

where is this

I couldn’t understand the signal my brother was sending.

Why do you talk like a guy who asks after you on a blind date?

From my point of view as a car, I wondered if they were doing this to make me angry.

“It was fun.”

I couldn’t cry, so I laughed and agreed with my brother’s words.

Still, there won’t be another one.

He said he didn’t like a kid like me.

“Then I’m glad.”

Taemin oppa smiles widely.

Being really good looking is filthy good looking.

Wouldn’t it be too difficult for me to not be thrilled by that laugh that seemed to come straight out of a cartoon?

If it was a broadcast, ‘I think he’s using hacks.’ I would have made the same comment.

Soon the bus arrived and we sat side by side, each plugging in our earphones.

I wished the day would end like this…

* * *

During the time I sat on the bus, I couldn’t move at all, like a petrified statue.

The cause wasn’t mine.

Just the girl next door…

I didn’t think it was such a comfortable environment to fall asleep, but Doa did well.

It would have been fine if I had just slept on my own, but the moment her head lost its balance and reached my shoulder, my shoulder no longer completely belonged to me.

You must be tired.

I could understand Luca’s behavior after hearing on the air how tired she was when she came back from going out.

Even the fear experience would have consumed considerable mental power in the wind.

Sleeping on your back is good, but the important thing is not knowing where to wake up.

As we got closer to the school, I gently shook Doa’s shoulder.

“Doaya. Doaya.”

Doa’s forehead twitched as if she didn’t want to wake up.

“Now we’re all going to school.”

“ah. Already?”

Doa, who opened her eyes lightly, rubbed her eyes with her small hand.

“Where does my brother get off?”

“In front of Shina Elementary School.”

“Me too.”

Unexpectedly, Doa seemed to live near my house.

If this is the case, we should just meet at the bus stop.

When Shina Elementary School appeared on the screen, we got off the bus and went out into the street.

“Uhh…”

Doa keeps stretching.

“You worked hard today.”

“Nope. What. The words are a task, but it feels like I just came here for entertainment.”

“Then I’ll go in first.”

As Doa bowed her head, I nodded to mean that I knew.

“okay. See you at school.”

“yes!”

I thought we broke up like that…

Embarrassed to say hello, we were walking in the same direction.

“Uh… are you here too?”

“yes.”

Doa smiled awkwardly, as if embarrassed.

“Where are you going?”

“Take that alley and turn left.”

“…Me?”

It turned out that Lucatan really seemed to live nearby.

As I said, I went all the way…

“Does your brother live there?”

“Do you live there?”

It wasn’t like a nonsensical love comedy, ‘I lived next door like a miracle’, but Doa was living in the building right next to my one-room studio.

It’s strange that we haven’t met before.

is not it. Because the buildings are different, there is no chance of encountering them.

After thinking about it, a lightbulb went on in my head.

…You both stay out of the house!

this is it!

Even if we run into each other, we have to go back and forth often to create a number of cases.

I don’t know who lives in the next room, but the odds of running into another building, Doa, are very slim.

“Then I’ll really go in now.”

After watching Doa open the door and enter the building, I stood still for a moment.

…Lukatan was really close.

It was a moment when the words close yet far came to mind.
