A weekend morning with spread white cumulus clouds.
Walking past the trees emitting the chirping of cicadas, announcing the official start of summer, and the dense green grass scent, Yu In’s face was filled with a refreshing energy.
“Ah, the ice is all melted.”
Yu In, who peeked inside, hastened her steps.
The rustling sound from her white wrist was from the sandwich and coffee purchased at a nearby store.
Excited at the thought of facing each other and eating together, the movements of the white sneakers were lively.
Passing through the majestic and elegant entrance, they took the elevator and arrived at Kiyeon’s penthouse.
Ding-dong.
The chime rang, and shortly afterward, the entrance door opened slightly.
Hesitating for a moment, Yu In, who teased herself, was sucked in.
Before passing through the corridor, a slender man in casual attire appeared.
“Did you come, babe?”
Yu In was still adapting to the unfamiliar nickname. She left it alone because it seemed like Kiyeon liked it, but it felt awkward to hear.
“Yes. Let’s have breakfast together.”
As soon as she saw Yu In, Kiyeon, who clung to her behind for a moment, poured energy into her awkward steps, but Kiyeon showed no sign of letting go.
“What did you buy?”
“A sandwich and coffee. Is it okay?”
“Of course. Who bought it?”
The idea of a home date came from Kiyeon.
As the sunlight intensified and the weather got hotter, Yu In was avoiding crowded places due to potential unknown situations, so it seemed like the right time.
Yu In had no objection to it, and Kiyeon’s house was excessively spacious, and, for now, she was with Kiyeon.
“Our Nam Yu In looks like an elementary school student running errands.”
“If I’m an elementary school student, what about you, sir?”
As Yu In took out a coffee mixed with melted ice water, Kiyeon, who was sitting at the dining table, answered seriously after pondering.
“Well… How about childhood friend?”
When Yu In made a strange expression, the man with the gentle smile took off Yu In’s hat and asked with a slightly teasing tone.
“Why. Is it bad that I’m your childhood friend?”
“…No?”
“But why is your face turning red? Did you suddenly catch a fever? Should our Yu In go to the hospital?”
Ignoring everything, the man who pretended not to know anything continued to stroke Yu In’s cheeks like a mischievous teenage boy and laughed heartily.
Even if you told him to stop, he didn’t yield and continued teasing until the end, leaving a loud kissing sound before finally letting go and backing away.
“What should we do after eating? Should we watch a movie?”
“That sounds good.”
“Or should we keep kissing?”
“Sigh. Sir, stop teasing me!”
He was a competent and experienced man, which was already well known, but there was no need for him to go all out when teasing me.
Even if he laughed mischievously and acted like that, in front of others, he became cold and indifferent, which was fascinating and amazing in its own way.
Placing a plate and fork in front of Yu In, the smiling man added again.
“Our Nam Yu In, does the little child need a fork?”
After a simple breakfast, as per Kiyeon’s suggestion, they watched movies one after another on the giant TV.
First, it was a very famous romance movie, followed by a steady action film.
During this time, Kiyeon’s phone rang a total of 15 times, and not once did she answer.
“Have you been getting calls urgently since earlier?”
“No.”
With a piercing gaze, Kiyeon pushed the phone away and gently embraced Yu In’s waist.
Yu In, whose gaze was fixed on the stiff cheek, quietly turned her head. Lips tightly sealed hesitated to release the words that hadn’t come out yet but soon blurted out.
“……Who is it?”
This was the first time Yu In had asked such a question since meeting Kiyeon.
A kind lover, understanding and considerate girlfriend. Although it wasn’t intentional to show only those aspects, even if genuine feelings that couldn’t be revealed were growing, Yu In vaguely believed that it was right.
“Well, it’s nothing.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Children don’t need to know.”
The moment of suspicion was very subtle and fleeting.
Going along with his playful laughter, even behind the name of trust, the roots that had already begun to grow were stained black.
“It seems like it happened continuously last time too.”
“Did it?”
Kiyeon’s tone was as monotone as explaining a pinch of dust, but ironically, that simplicity stirred up an inexplicable whirlwind of turmoil.
On the screen, a loud action scene of the Earth shattering unfolded, and a sound of something going wrong was heard in Yu In’s solitary space.
As her slender waist showed signs of discomfort, Kiyeon, squeezing with strong force, asked, “Why?”
The timing of conversations is truly difficult. Especially if the method of expression is not familiar, it becomes even more challenging.
Yu In was more comfortable swallowing things alone. However, when it came to Kiyeon, occasionally, it became so overwhelming that her breath caught.
“…Because I’m thirsty.”
