As Yeo Woon awkwardly tried to pick them up, Seol Ji Oh collected them first. Then he took one of Yeo Woon’s hands and put it on his arm.
“Hold on.”
“Huh?”
“Hold on and walk. Don’t fall over.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Yeo Woon grasped Seol Ji Oh’s sleeve. As she felt Seol Ji Oh’s sturdy arm under the clothes, even amidst her confusion, she tensed up and bit her lip.
No, I have to regain my senses…!
They soon arrived at the shower room. Upon opening the shower room door, there was a communal wash area, with the men’s and women’s showers separated on either side.
Seol Ji Oh, who had quickly finished washing his face, entered the shower room and said.
“It’s dangerous, so don’t go alone. Wait, let’s go together.”
“Okay.”
Yeo Woon also entered the shower room. It was a space that could accommodate 34 people, with the changing room and the shower room attached.
Yeo Woon undressed and washed briefly. As it was an outdoor facility, the wind was blowing in and it was cold.
“Ugh, it’s cold.”
But it felt good to be under the warm water. It seemed like the alcohol was wearing off a bit too.
Yeo Woon, who had finished her shower quickly, was getting dressed with a refreshing feeling when she heard Seol Ji Oh’s voice outside.
“Yeo Woon. Are you in there?”
“Yes! I’m done. Just a moment!”
Seol Ji Oh seemed to have already finished his shower. As she thought she needed to get out quickly, she hurriedly picked up her tshirt and was about to put her arms through the sleeves, when her gaze fell on something.
Something long and black…with a lot of legs…!
“Ahhh!”
Yeo Woon’s piercing scream echoed through the shower room.
Surprised, Seol Ji Oh kicked open the shower room door and rushed in.
Then, Yeo Woon ran towards him, hugged him, and stomped her feet while screaming.
“Ah!”
Seol Ji Oh was momentarily confused, not understanding the situation.
“What’s going on? What’s wrong?!”
“A bug! A centipede! There, a centipede!”
When he followed where Yeo Woon was pointing, he finally understood the situation. Swallowing hard, Seol Ji Oh moved Yeo Woon, who was clinging tightly to him, behind his back.
“Just close your eyes for a moment.”
Although it wasn’t a pleasant task for Seol Ji Oh, it wasn’t difficult either. After safely dealing with the bug, he turned to look at Yeo Woon, and then he noticed her outfit.
She was halfdressed, having only threaded her arms through her tshirt over her slip.
Seol Ji Oh, momentarily lost for words, turned away to maintain his composure, and then spoke to Yeo Woon.
“Put on your clothes first.”
At Seol Ji Oh’s words, Yeo Woon finally noticed her attire and gasped as if she was about to suffocate.
“Eeek!”
Seol Ji Oh turned his back on Yeo Woon and walked out of the shower room.
Closing the door firmly, Seol Ji Oh stood as if guarding it, suddenly bursting into a hollow laugh. One hand was touching near his temple.
Really, you…
Whether it was her rushing over, screaming and clinging like a child, or the halfworn tshirt hanging awkwardly on her arm.
She was a woman who was impossible to take your eyes off for even a moment. But if the person standing outside during all this thought it was fortunate it was him, was he crazy?
A sighlike laughter escaped Seol Ji Oh’s lips. He thought it was fortunate that the blowing wind was cold, as it cooled his heat.

Shortly after, Yeo Woon came out of the shower room with a flushed face.
“Let’s go.”
Seol Ji Oh walked ahead first. Yeo Woon was trailing behind him when she realized she needed to stop him.
“Seol Ji Oh…”
He turned around.
“Thank you. And about earlier…”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.”
Yeo Woon lifted her eyes to look at Seol Ji Oh.
The streetlamp’s light was dim so Seol Ji Oh’s face was not clearly visible, but his expression was calm. She felt rather strange for being the one to feel embarrassed.
“Uh…”
Yeo Woon scrutinized Seol Ji Oh’s seemingly nonchalant face and then suddenly lowered her gaze to her feet.
She felt too embarrassed to even lift her head after showing him such a sight of herself. Seeing Seol Ji Oh acting as usual made her feel somewhat wronged.
Maybe he doesn’t even see me as a woman…
As she walked, stomping her feet on the pavement, suddenly Seol Ji Oh pointed at the ground beneath her and spoke.
“There’s a bug there!”
“Eek!”
Yeo Woon jumped in surprise and clung onto Seol Ji Oh’s arm. She then studied the ground with wide eyes, and Seol Ji Oh burst into laughter next to her.
“Pfft.”
While clinging onto Seol Ji Oh’s arm, Yeo Woon blanked out for a moment before looking up at him. Her gaze sharpened without her realizing it.
“Did you just play a joke?! I was scared!”
Embarrassed about the fuss she had made in that short amount of time, she quickly let go of his arm and took a step away from Seol Ji Oh.
“That’s why you shouldn’t just look at the ground while walking. I was wondering what was on the ground.”
“Well, that…”
It’s because she was embarrassed.
Even if she only showed him her best, it wasn’t enough. The only thing she ever seemed to show him was…
A sigh escaped her lips. She wanted to show the person she liked a prettier and more mature side of herself, but why was it so difficult?
“You used to tell me you were mischievous when you were younger. Was that a lie?”
With his hands in his pockets, Seol Ji Oh looked down at Yeo Woon with a smile.
“You sure are mischievous, Yeo Woon.”
“I’m sorry for being a nuis…”
“That’s why I like it. It’s fun.”
“Huh?”
“It’s very interesting. Feels like something’s going to happen when I’m with you.”
Do… you like it?
Did he just say he likes it?
Yeo Woon’s eyes widened. She didn’t understand anything else he said, but the moment she heard ‘I like it,’ her entire focus shifted towards Seol Ji Oh.
Watching Yeo Woon’s eyes blink in surprise, Seol Ji Oh narrowed his eyes into a bright smile. Then, he lifted both hands, made a rectangle shape with his thumbs and index fingers, and captured Yeo Woon’s face as if taking a picture.
One of Seol Ji Oh’s eyes squinted slightly.
“I wish I could show you that expression just now.”
Yeo Woon soon became gloomy. She felt that Seol Ji Oh was mocking her again, which soured her mood. She muttered in a sullen voice.
“Is that an insult?”
“No, it’s a compliment?”
With her eyes slightly open, Yeo Woon came to the conclusion that she was indeed upset, and turned away abruptly. She started to walk away leaving Seol Ji Oh behind when suddenly, he followed her and casually draped an arm over her shoulder.
The classic friendly shoulder hug pose.
As Yeo Woon turned her head in surprise, Seol Ji Oh, who had moved his face close to hers, gave a small chuckle. This made her heart drop to her stomach.
Why is he doing this to me?!
Her heart was beating so fast that she was out of breath.
“Why are you sulking? It’s just a joke.”
“Hey! Move away! You’re heavy!”
“If you promise not to sulk, I’ll move. You’re not going to sulk, right?”
“Ye, yes! I won’t sulk! So move!”
Only then did Seol Ji Oh move away from Yeo Woon. However, her neck and ears were already flushed red.
When Yeo Woon returned to the tent, she dived into her blanket with only a lantern lit by her bedside. Her body felt heavy like a watersoaked cotton but her mind was wide awake.
It was all because of Seol Ji Oh.
“I like it. It’s fun.”
“Feels like something’s going to happen when I’m with you.”
When he says that, it makes her anticipate more.
What a thoughtlessly affectionate brat.
Just then, she heard the sound of the tent zipper opening. Wondering who it was, she sat up to see a familiar face entering. It was Seol Ji Oh.
“What’s the matter?”
“I think you’re misunderstanding something.”
Misunderstanding?
With a puzzled look, she got up from her seat. Seol Ji Oh suddenly pulled Yeo Woon closer and whispered.
“I’m only affectionate towards you. It’s because it’s you.”
“What?”
The moment Yeo Woon’s lips parted in surprise, Seol Ji Oh’s warm breath covered her lips.
