Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

117 – Fruit is everywhere

Perhaps it was because the memory of the two-shot we saw on the video call was so shocking and vivid. We returned home quickly without even being able to look around the night streets. We were only holding a cup of warm coffee in each of our hands.

Hurup

We came into the room, sat side by side on the bed, leaned our backs against the wall, and savored our coffees. Since they were just a little cold, we didn’t have to worry about burning our tongues. It was just right.

“Are you used to coffee now?”

Meanwhile, the sight of Yuna sipping her latte without even a frown on her face felt quite refreshing.

If it were like before, I would have just bought something like a chocolate latte or a green tea latte. I was so surprised at the cafe when I saw someone ordering the same menu as me.

“Yeah, a little bit. But I still can’t drink without syrup.”

“There’s no rule that says you can’t drink it without syrup. So what?”

Even local Italians put sugar in their espresso, so I guess there’s no need to worry about that.

By the way, it feels strange to watch a stray cat that I just picked up sipping warm milk. It’s a pointless thought that comes to mind sometimes, but I wonder if there are cat ears hidden between Yuna’s hair.

“By the way, are your studies going well?”

As I was having the same silly thoughts again today, Yuna looked up at me with her raised eyes and asked me in a cautious tone. It seemed like she remembered me saying a while ago that I had set my college goals a bit high.

“That’s a rather random question.”

“But I was curious. But I also know that asking such things is a bit burdensome, so I can’t say anything…”

Yuna puffed out her cheeks as she muttered in a curt tone.

Perhaps because he realized that he would feel burdened if he were asked such a question during his busy time studying for exams, he couldn’t bring himself to ask me. There’s no need to worry about such things.

“Yeah, it’s going well. I even reached my target score on the last mock test.”

“Really? How good was your score?”

“That’s a secret.”

“Whoa, what is it?”

It was really cute how he pouts and asks if he can’t even say something like that to his girlfriend, but I don’t plan on falling for that cuteness.

After all, since we don’t know what the results will be on the CSAT day, we shouldn’t let them drink kimchi stew in advance.

“Huh? It’s Soobin.”

“Kim Soo-bin?”

I calmed her down by telling her to wait a month and was about to go back to drinking my coffee when Yuna’s eyes widened as she checked her phone. Then she showed me a chat room screen, and there was a knocking puppy emoticon that Kim Soo-bin had sent.

I checked my phone just in case, and since it was on silent mode, I couldn’t even notice that I had been kidnapped to a group chat. And the same emoticon I had just seen was a bonus.

【Kim Soo-bin – My boyfriend said he was embarrassed and didn’t come.】

【I – ran.】

【Girlfriend★ – Isn’t it better?】

It feels strange that we’re right next to each other, talking in a group chat.

Anyway, the reason Kim Soo-bin sent me a message at this point is probably because of the story I mentioned earlier. At times like this, you need popcorn, but Kkabi.

【Girlfriend★ – So what happened? Tell me the story in detail.】

【Kim Soo-bin – Actually, there’s nothing you can expect. It ended so blandly.】

【Me – That’s for us to decide.】

He firmly advised Kim Soo-bin, who was trying to lower expectations, to just tell the story.

That’s what a love story is like in the first place. From the perspective of the person in question, it may feel somewhat ordinary and bland, but from a third party’s perspective, each and every insignificant part is bound to be enjoyable.

As evidence, the corners of Yuna’s mouth, which is looking at the screen, are already rising. This must mean that she is really looking forward to it.

【Kim Soo-bin – Then let’s loosen up a little.】

【Kim Soo-bin – Actually, I originally called her out to meet her at the playground and confess to her?】

When I think of the playground, I suddenly feel like I have some sweet memories.

But why all the playgrounds? Do the women around me have a penchant for doing things at playgrounds?

“Huh? Why?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

I looked at Yuna without realizing it, and she tilted her head as if she didn’t know anything, so I turned my gaze to my phone. There’s no way she wouldn’t remember, so it would be right to assume she was just unconscious.

【Kim Soo-bin – But when we arrived in front of Minseong’s house, it was a bit cold outside.】

【Me – What time did you go?】

【Kim Soo-bin – When you arrive, around 6 o’clock?】

Well, you arrived later than I thought. When we chatted earlier, it was before noon, so I thought you would have left around that time. Maybe it was because we had to coordinate our schedules.

It’s definitely starting to get chilly around that time. Especially today, the daily temperature difference was particularly large, so it’s understandable that Kim Soo-bin was cold. If he was strong against the cold like Yuna, it might be different, but he’s not like that.

I was fixating my gaze in understanding, but this time, Kim Soo-bin’s chat poured out without any signs of stopping.

【Kim Soo-bin – Besides, I was wearing something a little thin.】

【Kim Soo-bin – I met him at the playground, but I couldn’t say anything and just trembled like an idiot.】

【Kim Soo-bin – Then Min-seong said, ‘If it’s important, come home.’】

What? You told him to come up to your house? That b*stard Choi Min-seong was a player. As expected, his parents weren’t at home…

【Girlfriend★ – What? Are your parents at home?】

【Kim Soo-bin – Are you there?】

… That’s not it. Well, that kid isn’t the type to just go out like that. I believed him.

【Kim Soo-bin – So you said hello to the lady and Min-seong went to his room?】

【Girlfriend★ – Were you two alone in the room from the first day?】

【Me – Isn’t the progress too fast?】

【Kim Soo-bin – What are you all talking about! Listen to what people are saying!】

Oh, isn’t this it? It seems to be far from the picture that Yuna and I were expecting.

“Tch.”

The two of them clicked their tongues at the same time, looked at each other, and smiled awkwardly. You too? Hey, me too.

【Kim Soo-bin – Anyway, that’s why I’m asking why you came here.】

【Kim Soo-bin – I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but Min-seong’s atmosphere was strange.】

【Kim Soo-bin – Feeling like you’re asking with a little bit of knowledge?】

【me – ?】

You ask me even though you already know? Could it be that Choi Min-seong, that b*stard, had already noticed Kim Soo-bin’s feelings? I don’t think he ever showed any signs of it.

【Kim Soo-bin – So I held his hand tightly and tried to leave.】

【Kim Soo-bin – ‘You really don’t know? Are you sure you don’t know?’ Like this.】

【Kim Soo-bin – Then Min-seong’s face turned completely red.】

Thud! Thud!

“Huh, it’s so sweet…!”

As if she had imagined that scene from Kim Soo-bin’s KakaoTalk message, Yuna, who was sitting next to me, kicked my blanket and stomped her feet. I guess there’s nothing more fun than other people’s love stories.

【Kim Soo-bin – That was so cute that I just confessed right away?】

【Kim Soo-bin – As you know, I like you. Like this.】

【Kim Soo-bin – But Min-seong usually treats me a bit harshly.】

【Kim Soo-bin – That’s why I said this. If you see me as just a friend, tell me right now.】

Wow, honestly, I thought you’d just talk to me like that and then be nervous when it came time to confess, but this is a bit unexpected. You act so bluntly in the game, so is it the same in real life? I think that’s pretty cool.

【Kim Soo-bin – Then Min-seong was silent for a while and then said this.】

【Kim Soo-bin – He said he’s not the type of person to bring home a girl he has no feelings for.】

【Kim Soo-bin – But honestly, I don’t really believe it’s real.】

【Kim Soo-bin – I’m asking why a pretty girl like you likes a tough guy like me.】

Wow, a pretty girl? And she even showed off her flirting skills. This little Choi Min-seong, he really is a pro… . aaak!

Thud! Thud!

“Ugh, you’re crazy! You must be crazy!”

“Ugh! Yu, Yuna, wait a minute…!”

As I nodded happily, a punch flew from the side and this time it hit my forearm. In the end, all I could do was scream in pain and desperately beg my girlfriend for mercy.

Just a moment ago, you were hitting the blanket, so why are you changing your target now? If you react two more times, my body won’t survive.

【Girlfriend★ – So what?】

【Kim Soo-bin – So I did that too.】

【Kim Soo-bin – I don’t know why I started liking someone like you.】

【Kim Soo-bin – But I don’t think you need a reason to like something.】

【Kim Soo-bin – So I just said that I wanted you to like me for no reason.】

This is a lethal dose of sweetness. It’s sweeter than watching a romance novel or drama. Wow. I guess I’ll have to neutralize the bitterness with coffee.

【Kim Soo-bin – Is that how we started dating?】

【Kim Soo-bin – Somehow I feel embarrassed after saying this.】

【Girlfriend★ – Teacher, you’re so sweet.】

【Me – Go for a long time.】

For some reason, the image of Kim Soo-bin blushing and avoiding eye contact came to mind, and I sincerely wished him happiness. I hope that not only us, but all couples can stay together for as long as possible and get along well.

Swish.

After finishing the story like that and turning off the screen, Yuna’s hand came up to my thigh without hesitation. Feeling that the atmosphere was somehow tense, Yuna looked up at me with a sly look and asked a question as if she was probing me.

“If we all go on a graduation trip together next year, we can split the rooms and get separate rooms, right?”

“… … .”

I thoroughly exercised my right to remain silent there,

Nod.

He nodded very slightly and calmly.

“Hehehe.”

Then Yuna burst into a shy laugh and placed the hand on my thigh over mine.
