44 – 17. Is Spring Is Spring? -2

The flashback of memories begins a while ago, when I returned to the dorm with Lee Tae-hwa.

+++++

“Ugh…I’m tired…”

“Wow… I ate well…”

Noah and Taehwa returned to their lodgings after a tiring day.

“Ha…It’s wide…”

It is not very fancy, but compared to the gosiwon where I usually lived, it is no different from a palace.

I wanted to throw myself straight into the big, soft bed, but I held back for a moment.

“Ugh…It’s fluffy…”

“…”

“Noah, why aren’t you lying down?”

Why aren’t you lying down? Isn’t the reason simple?

“Dad said that if you lie down right away, you will become a cow.”

“Cow?”

“Yes. Eat and lie down, eat and lie down… If you live as a lazy person, you will be punished by turning into a cow.”

“Hmm…”

“If that happens, I’ll have to work for the rest of my life. How can it be good?”

Of course, it was meant as a joke.

Reality is not a fairy tale and a person cannot become a cow.

However, Taehwa grinned when told that he would become a cow.

“Noah, what are you doing? You should lie down quickly too!”

“You say you can become a cow?”

“I have to quickly become a cow.”

“Why?”

“All you have to do is become a dairy cow.”

“…What do you mean!”

Bwaak!

Noah shouted.

“Do you want to keep doing that!?”

“hehehe, it’s all because of Noah. Because Noah openly teases me, I feel like I’m on fire for no reason.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Why is it because of me…”

It was absurd. These days, Taehwa’s drips have been dizzying, but who on earth said he was making fun of them so openly?

‘Me and you…?’

Did it appear that way in the eyes of others? All we did was just get along and feed each other.

‘This is everyday life for you and me.’

I remember the things that happened with my uncle.

He strokes her head, feeds her, goes out with her, sometimes holds her hand and pats her…

‘Huh?’

And today, a kiss in the name of medical practice –

“…Huh?”

When you think about it this way, what could have been seen as flirtatious enough in other people’s eyes?

No, we were already out when we kissed…?

“…How…”

Noah’s cheeks turned red.

It was because I was reminded of a medical practice called kissing that took place at an amusement park.

I had the illusion that it was still there.

The soft touch that pressed against her lips.

And there is no way Taehwa could have missed such a change in Noah’s condition.

“Our Noah~Why are you embarrassed again?”

“Uh…!? Oh, it’s nothing!”

“I don’t think so…I heard you were fiddling with your lips…”

Taehwa approached Noah with a sinister smile.

Gwaaak, giving a firm back hug from behind.

“What? Let go!”

“No way. I need to hear why our Noah is like this, right?”

Noah struggled, but he was unable to win in his pre-transformation state.

Unlike Noah, who was relatively short, Taehwa was on the taller side among women.

Noah, helplessly dragged onto her bed, began to be questioned.

“What did our Noah do to make such an expression?”

“I can’t speak…!”

“Hmm…Did you even do that?”

“That…?”

“Lips to lips-“

Hwaak.

Noah’s cheeks heated up like fire.

Taehwa saw that and said, “aaah!” She walks and smiles.

“Really!? How did it happen!?”

“It wasn’t a kiss…It was a medical procedure…”

“Anyway, it’s true that we kissed!”

Noah nodded her head without saying anything.

Taehwa cackled for a long time and then his eyes lit up.

“So? How did it feel?”

“What…?”

“They say the first kiss is sweet. Is that true!?”

I don’t know how sweet it is.

“…I don’t know, I keep thinking about it.”

It is not forgotten.

“…It won’t work.”

“Why again? I’m tired.”

“I request a more detailed explanation!”

Noah was captured once again.

She was stuck in a situation where she had to remember and explain her first kiss.

The one who saved Noah from such a crisis.

‘Kyu, Noah. ‘Are you sleeping?’

‘Kkyun?’

“Noah, how was it? You put your tongue in-“

“Ah! I got a call from Kkyun, so stay away!”

“Hmph.”

“hehehe…Kyu-kyu-ya, you can say it again.”

Kyukkyun sent telepathy with good timing.

Why telepathy all of a sudden? Is it serious? Noah thought so.

She immediately made a bewildered expression.

‘Noah, put your ear to the door of Shinhyeon’s room and listen carefully. You’ll hear an interesting story.’

‘What?’

‘Definitely! Absolutely!’

It was because Kyunkyu ordered me to do strange things.

Listen to someone else’s visit. So isn’t she a completely crazy person?

‘…But why are you so concerned?’

However, it was difficult to just ignore her.

Even though the things he does and the way he speaks are strange, he does things that are beneficial in the end. Even if something seemed strange, it often worked out well.

‘If I get caught, I’ll be treated like a pervert…’

She’s a pervert A pervert and she’s eavesdropping on what she’s doing?

“…Let’s go.”

After thinking for a moment, Noah helped her up.

Kyunkyang must have something in mind. It was for that reason.

Put on your slippers and go out into the hallway, immediately to the right.

If you see a tightly closed door, that is your room.

So, you’re telling me to put my ear here from now on?

‘…It must look really strange.’

Noah laughed and put his ear to her door.

She couldn’t hear her because of the thick iron door, but when she closed her eyes and concentrated, she could hear something.

Her first words that were heard like that were in the voice of Kyukyu.

“Shinhyun, do you like Noah?”

‘Kyu-kyu-ya!?’

What on earth is that guy talking about!?

What on earth did we talk about that led to such a question?

‘No, I must have heard wrong…’

Despite Noah’s expectations, Kyukkyun made a confirmed kill.

“What I’m asking is whether you have a feeling of love, not like.”

Do you simply like it? Not, do you love me?

Noah, who could not have known the difference, let out a silent cry.

‘Should I just run away…?’

The thought occurred to him for a moment, but Noah’s body rejected it.

I froze as if I had been turned into a stone, making me listen to her voice.

Reason and emotion clashed.

‘Come to your senses! How am I going to see your face starting tomorrow?’

‘But you’re curious, right?’

‘What if I say no? Are you going to cry and scream?’

‘I’d be happy if you said it was good. I’m sure you’ll be happy.’

I’m confused.

While I was lost and hesitating, I heard the man’s voice.

“…It’s probably still close to Like.”

Ah-

I see.

My legs felt weak.

I grabbed the handle and somehow raised the body that looked like it was going to fall down at any moment.

What did you expect?

I am just that person’s younger brother who needs to be protected. At the same time, it is just something that needs to be taken care of.

Let’s go back.

It’s a little heartbreaking, but it can’t be helped.

You can’t threaten someone to love or like me.

“…Haa…”

Noah sighed. As I was about to turn around and go back to the room, a voice passed by my ear.

“Because we don’t know the future.”

I don’t know.

‘Maybe you too…?’

I felt like I was going crazy.

My chest felt tight and painful. It’s getting deeper and deeper.

The man enters his chest, rips through his insides, creates space, and settles there.

Deeply in one corner of my heart.

The voice continued to be heard.

“Well, I know. Noah is still in high school. In the future, he should see a wider world and do more things.”

“…If you still like it, I’m willing to accept it as much as you want.”

And finally, his last words flew like a sharpshooter’s arrow and struck Noah’s heart.

“I like him a lot too, that guy.”

“Ahh… Ugh… Ah…”

Woodangtang!

Noah could no longer control his body and fell down in the hallway.

I couldn’t speak properly and it was difficult to organize my thoughts.

I just thought I had to run away quickly.

“Uncle… Ugh…!”

Noah almost crawled away and threw himself into the bed.

Taehwa was embarrassed to see her like that and asked a question.

“Noah, what’s wrong?”

“…”

“Noah?”

I couldn’t hear Taehwa’s worried voice.

Noah was so focused that he remembered the man’s words.

A word that penetrated her so sweetly that it struck her so strongly that it constricted her heart.

A confession that the uncle likes him, almost loves him.

“The man confessed to me…!”

Noah was almost crazy.

It was something she never imagined. I don’t think he would have thought of himself this way.

…How should I react?

I should have thought about my reaction for times like this!

Should we carry on as usual? If not, should we approach it more actively?

It’s not like I’m being kissed like this time…I approach you first…

No, should I prepare something stronger than that?

Is there no way to tie them up and make them look only at me forever?

A dark part of her heart boiled.

It was Noah’s greed.

Because it was her first time experiencing these feelings, she may have felt even worse.

‘My uncle likes me very much…’

I was so happy.

To the point where even if I just sit still, sadness flows out from all over my body.

However.

‘I hope only you like me.’

At the same time, I felt anxious.

What if you start hating me? What if you start liking someone else? Doing.

In the end, only after reaching that point did Noah admit it.

‘I really like you too…’

She says she likes him.

A little different from what the uncle said, in the sense of love rather than like.

About the time Noah realized his feelings.

Knock knock, a knocking sound was heard.

“Noah, uncle.”

“…!”

I stopped breathing.

‘Ah…Uncle…’

He came to this room.

‘What should I do, what should I do, what should I do…!’

Could it have been noticed?

You were eavesdropping on that entire conversation?

Thump thump thump.

I felt like my heart was going to explode.

When I close my eyes, his face comes to mind, and when I close my ears, the words I heard linger in my head.

I have become aware of my passionate, yet at the same time sinister and twisted heart. He had no idea what kind of face he should make.

“Mister?”

“Taehwa, I came to meet Noah…”

“Oh, yes. Noah is over there.”

“…Yes, thank you.”

The sound of footsteps is heard and soon stops.

The sound stopped right next to the bed. When Noah realized he was next to him, he even forgot how to breathe.

“Noah.”

“…”

“Now?”

Noah did not answer, but instead shook the blanket.

I was afraid that if I spoke now, my voice would come out melting.

After confirming that, Shinhyeon got to the point.

“Well…If it’s okay, Noah.”

“…Yes.”

“I heard there’s a park nearby. Why don’t we go there together? I have something I want to tell you.”

What I want to say.

After hearing that, Noah slowly got out of the blanket.

Noah tries to look as relaxed and casual as possible.

But the girl did not know.

“…Okay. Let’s go together.”

I can’t hide my red cheeks even if I try to hide them.
