Yesterday, while he was with Hye-ri, he confessed his love to her over the phone.

Is this guy trying to break my heart on purpose?

Unable to respond to Sarang, who was frozen, Dohan called her again.

Hello? Sarang.

As Sarang was about to say that she would hang up, laughter erupted from her friends who had heard everything.

“I’m sorry, oppa. We heard everything.”

“Anyway, come quickly, hyung. We also want to see you!”

Jiwu and Yunjae, who had been chatting, hung up the phone and handed it back to Sarang.

“Now I understand why Isarang likes this hyung.”

“Me too. Charismatic, Dohan oppa.”

Why have so many people been praising Dohan lately?

Embarrassment seemed to be solely her share. Sarang couldn’t bring herself to lift her red face.

After 30 minutes, as soon as Dohan arrived, the basketball game began immediately.

In Yunjae’s car trunk, there were not only basketballs but also soccer balls, baseballs, and even a shuttlecock, so there was no excuse for not playing.

Sarang and Dohan formed one team, while Jiwu and Yunjae formed the other.

Unlike the men who pressured their opponents with flashy dribbles, Sarang and Jiwu were busy running around as they didn’t know how to handle the ball.

“It’s too hard. Why are we doing this in this heat?”

“Who said it’s hard? Sports are always most fun when you watch them on TV.”

Sarang and Jiwu panted with their hands on their knees.

“Kang Jiwu, catch!”

At that moment, Yunjae passed the ball to Jiwu.

Jiwu bounced the ball on the ground once and then, holding the ball in her hand, ran forward recklessly.

The rule that if you take more than three steps holding the ball, the possession goes to the opposing team didn’t even cross their minds.

They only thought about putting the ball into the goal.

Just a while ago, Jiwu, who wanted to go home quickly, now wanted to win as soon as she got hold of the ball.

She didn’t want to lose in the game after going through all this trouble under the scorching sun.

“Throw it, Jiwu!”

Yunjae shouted, blocking Dohan.

Boosted by her male friend’s cheers, Jiwu threw the ball with all her might toward the goal.

The ball, soaring high, hit the backboard and circled around the rim.

The ball that seemed like it might go in or might not finally dropped into the net, and Jiwu couldn’t hide her excitement.

“Yay! I made it, Yunjae!”

Jiwu ran to Yunjae, hugged him, and jumped around.

“Well done, well done. Now, with one minute left, we’ll win like this.”

Yunjae was confident of victory.

For the sake of the girls who had lost interest, he had promised Dohan to give them a chance to shoot.

They had agreed to finish the game as it was after considering the girls who hadn’t scored a goal in the tied situation. Unexpectedly, Jiwu scored.

It was impossible for the exhausted Sarang, who had no athletic skills in the remaining one minute, to score a goal.

Unless Dohan himself abandoned loyalty and shot directly, victory belonged to them.

Seeing Dohan’s narrowed eyes full of competitiveness, Yunjae stifled a laugh.

While bouncing the ball slowly, Dohan, who was approaching, passed the ball to Sarang as if he had no choice.

Checking the time remaining, about 20 seconds, Yunjae, knowing that the game would end soon, did nothing and just watched Sarang.

“Isarang, we’re running out of time. Just throw it!”

Holding the ball, Sarang stood still, not knowing what to do, and Yunjae shouted at her.

But at that moment, Dohan rushed in and lifted her up.

“W-What are you doing!?”

“Don’t drop the ball. Hold it tight.”

“What?”

Suspended in mid-air with both feet off the ground, Sarang felt scared that Dohan might drop her but gave strength to the hand holding the ball as he said.

Dohan dashed toward the goalpost.

“Ahh!”

Due to the rapid speed, Sarang screamed.

And soon, they reached the goalpost.

“Now throw it.”
As he instructed, Dohan released the ball from Sarang’s hands.

Right in front of her, the hoop was visible, and she could easily put the ball into the net.

Unintentionally, it turned into a dunk shot.

“Wow! It went in.”

With the first goal she made, Sarang felt like she was flying in the sky. In reality, she was in the air, which made it even more thrilling.

As soon as she landed on the ground, unable to control her joy, Dohan was embraced.

“It’s so much fun. Let’s do it again next time!”

Dohan, looking up at her with a bright smile, found Sarang’s beauty charming and gave her a brief kiss.

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

Lost in the sense of accomplishment of achieving something together while sweating, the two didn’t notice the warm gazes directed at them.

“Anyone watching would think we won.”

“That’s right. Aren’t there students around? Keep a little distance.”

Yunjae and Jiwu frowned, and only then did Sarang suddenly snap to attention. She didn’t realize they were in front of friends and had kissed Dohan so closely. Not knowing what to do, she felt embarrassed.

“Oh, sorry…”

Embarrassment struck her belatedly, and she tried to move away from Dohan, but he didn’t let her go.

“It’s nothing. Nowadays, kids kiss on the streets.”

Uttering words that were unclear to whom they were directed, Dohan lowered his head towards her. Surprised, Sarang quickly covered his lips with her hand.

“I’m not one of those kids nowadays.”

She forcefully freed Dohan’s arm wrapped around her waist and stepped back, feeling hot on her face due to either the hot weather or his fiery gaze.

“Let’s go, enough. Let’s go, Jiwu.”

Grabbing Jiwu, Sarang fled the basketball court as if running away.

Yunjae picked up the basketball that had fallen to the ground and approached Dohan.

“Hyung, really…”

Yunjae’s expression was quite serious, making Dohan nervous. It seemed like he might say something absurd about love affairs now after causing hurt to Sarang. However, Yunjae opened his mouth.

“I sincerely respect you.”

“…What?”

“You’re good at every sport, bold with your girlfriend. I learned a lot from you today.”

Not hesitating to express his desire to see him, kissing without caring about the surroundings. Yunjae, who found it difficult to honestly express his feelings, felt a bit envious of Dohan.

“Next time, let’s play soccer. I bragged about hyung to my friends.”

In response to Yunjae’s unexpected reaction, Dohan smiled happily. Indeed, there were only good people around this Sarang.

“Feel free to contact me anytime.”

In response to his positive answer, Yunjae also smiled brightly.

Sarang rode in Dohan’s car and headed to the amusement park. After stopping by her house for a shower, the sun had already set. Since she had told Dohan to bring a change of clothes in advance, he didn’t have to borrow Yunjae’s clothes.

The more Sarang thought about it, the more she laughed. Dohan knew how to take a shower at Yunjae’s house. Everything happened because of Jung Yunjae.

“Stop it. Let’s go, Jiwu. The amusement park can wait. You must be tired.”
Dohan knows how to shower at Yunjae’s house.

Because of Jeong Yunjae, various things happen.

“Let’s go to the amusement park next time. You must be tired.”

Dohan was worried about Sarang, who usually doesn’t exercise much.

Even at the age of twenty, after going to the night opening, he immediately caught the flu, so he couldn’t relax.

Since then, every spring, he suffered from severe body aches.

Now it’s summer, and the temperature difference between day and night isn’t significant, so it should be okay, but he was still concerned.

“I’m a little tired, but I really want to go today.”

“Why does it have to be today?”

“It’s a very important day for me.”

Her significant words made Dohan’s mind busy.

It’s not her birthday.

Could it be an anniversary?

How long have we been together? Is today our 100th day?

He couldn’t readily open his mouth, fearing she might resent him for pretending to know or not knowing what day it is.

Should I say, “Every day with you is an anniversary,” or would that be too cheesy?

I wonder. Why is today an important day?

Dohan couldn’t loosen the tension until they arrived at the amusement park.
