44 – A refreshing weekend, an unexpected meeting

Exactly four days have passed since I heard the first clue about the stalker from Choi Min-seong. If you ask me if there have been any clear results in the meantime, I would say no.

The man who was said to have appeared after school has never appeared around me or Hanyu. Or maybe he’s already showing up and we don’t notice.

Anyway, as of right now, I can’t come up with a sharp number even if I go through my troubles alone, so I decided to spend the long-awaited weekend leisurely, and I was just rolling around in bed.

“Son, would you like to throw away some food waste?”

Until our lady, who unexpectedly opened the door and asked me to run errands.

“Yes.”

To be honest, it was a bit annoying, but my conscience was also stabbed by the fact that I was shutting myself in the house, eating only rice on this golden weekend. She immediately nodded and used the recoil of her body to rise from her seat as she stood up, a smile on her mother’s lips.

“On the weekends, you have to ask someone to play, don’t you?”

“Is there a possibility?”

She smiled at her mother, who seemed very happy that she had a job to do for her son, and took over the card and a heavy black envelope.

He forgot that he had left his phone, so he went back to his room, took his phone, put on his slippers, and walked out the front door.

Knock.

At that moment, the door of the house opposite opened with a heavy sound.

“Huh? Park Si-yoon, where are you going? Would you like to meet Choi Min-seong?”

The one who appeared on the other side was Yuna Han, wearing a sports bag.

Although he has been taken care of at my house for the past few days, it is only for sleeping, so most of the time he is at his house as he is now. Even when there is no one home and I feel anxious, I come over to my house.

Anyway, the guy tilted his head as if he couldn’t infer the destination even after looking at my shabby clothes and the envelope in my hand. How on earth did he think he would go out of the apartment complex in this outfit?

“No, take out the trash. Are you going to practice?”

“Yeah, if I go now, I think I won’t be here until after 9 o’clock. There are many lessons today.”

“I must express my condolences in advance.”

It’s not even 2 o’clock yet, but I left now and came after 9 o’clock. There is a saying that there are no weekends or vacations for high school seniors, but I think I will have to give up on that in front of Han Yu-na.

When I clicked my tongue during the shockingly long lesson, Hanyu I stuck out my tongue and smiled bitterly, as if she thought so too.

Well, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t that hard.

“Can you take me to work? After I throw this away, there’s nothing to do.”

Getting on her elevator, Hanyu As I glanced at my main sports bag on my shoulder, I made a sneaky suggestion out of a well-founded concern. She didn’t even think that the madman would be hanging around in the middle of the day, but she thought it was because she didn’t know.

“Ool, what are you doing? Are you that worried about me?”

“Then don’t you worry? You have to say something that makes sense.”

However, I didn’t even know what she was thinking, and she was just trying to make fun of me by talking nonsense. She’s afraid of stalkers, so the guy who shed her tears a while ago pretended to be strong.

“It would be nice if you took me. But are you going to dress like that?”

“I’m not an idol trainee like you, so what does it matter?”

I was the one who just said that she wouldn’t be able to go out of the apartment complex wearing this outfit, but when she was pointed out by me about her outfit, she went out brazenly.

She honestly doesn’t look bad with a white T-shirt and sweatpants. These slippers are also a branded item that my aunt gave me before.

“Sweeup, no matter how much it is, the coordination is a bit lacking to stand next to Han Yuna….”

“Surely, anyone who sees you will know that you are very pretty.”

She tries to rationalize her own way of dressing in her own way and gives a favorable review, but Hanyu I was busy looking at her blade from top to bottom, noticing that she was not happy with her.

To be honest, even though she herself is wearing clothes that are not too different from each other, she was rude about criticizing her coordination, so when I said a word, she got angry.

“Hey, is this what you mean? Even if it looks like a normal training suit from the outside, how much did you care about this!”

“Yes, it looks the same to me. There is no difference at all.”

“Cee, I’m afraid someone isn’t Park Si-yoon, who knows nothing.”

It’s rude to say that you don’t know how to do it in front of people. It’s just that I don’t have to be interested in clothes in the first place.

I just wear whatever I have at home, and when I run into Hanyu, I take her to an outlet on the weekend and even coordinate her hand-made outfits. There is no custom system more convenient than this.

I’ve heard somewhere that men get tired of hanging out with women shopping, but I’ve never really felt anything like that.

“Anyway, what…. If you’re going, go with me, I won’t stop you.”

“Okay then wait a minute. I’ll just throw this away and take you.”

“Yes.”

Although there was some resistance, in the end we decided to go together and got off the elevator that arrived on the first floor before we knew it and headed for the garbage dump.

Beep.

When I took the card out of my pocket and brought it to the reader next to the food waste bin, the entrance of the bin opened with an electronic sound. After pouring the excellent water and food waste into it, I finished the tidying up. Of course, don’t forget to wash your hands.

“Hey!?”

From noble mtl dot com

When I flicked my wet fingers and fired at Han Yuna, a pretty cute scream came out of the cold water-soaked mouth. The reaction is good.

“This is revenge for daring to call me a loser.”

“The man is small… !”

Yeah, I’m so f*cking petty.

Of course, I’m not good enough, but I can’t forgive people teasing me because I’m not good enough. Especially if the opponent is Han Yuna. I’d rather my mother say she doesn’t know, but she’ll laugh it off.

Like that, Hanyuna followed her water attack on me and chased the guy as he ran away from the apartment complex. Then, before we knew it, we arrived at the front of the shopping mall.

“How are you? A friendly service that goes to the end in case the precious next idol will be hot.”

“Heh, heh…. It’s the worst….”

“Thank you, customer. Please give us a 5-star rating and a review.”

Without forgetting the last comment to the customer who gave out favorable reviews while breathing heavily, I wiped the remaining moisture off my pants appropriately. Sharp Hanyu My eyes turned to me, but she ignored me.

Shortly after that, the road to Hanyunane’s company in a calm atmosphere again.

“Hey, where are you going? I have to go over there.”

Suddenly, as Hanyuna veered to her right, waiting for the traffic light to her left, her voice filled with perplexity escaped from my mouth.

Looking at me like that, Hanyu smiled brightly as she pointed in the direction she was heading. She seemed to be able to find some treasure if she went that way.

“I have a place to stop by. It’s a place I sometimes go to heal, and I’ll introduce you to it.”

“Healing?”

I wonder what kind of healing it is in the middle of this city, but I wonder if I’ve found something good, so I put my doubts aside for a while and moved on together. It was in a completely different direction from the street corner I walked to pick up Han Yuna.

At this rate, I think it will end up going round and round. More than anything else, there are fewer and fewer buildings around, so what the hell is going on here?

That question was soon resolved.

“… A flower shop?”

Even though there are hardly any residential areas or apartments around, I inadvertently spit out my doubtful words to myself at one of the flower shops.

I must have heard that small voice, but she looked up at me with her eyes shining like an excited child.

“Yes, isn’t it really pretty? The boss decorated it very well.”

“That’s right.”

Just as Han Yuna said, the flower shop boasted a neat exterior that made it feel bright from the outside. Even though she looks so outlandish, it would have been impossible for Yuna Han, who can’t be bothered with flowers, to just pass by.

Hanyu, who was staring at the flower pots placed around her shop with her mouth open, looked around the shop with her palm spread out and placed on her forehead to see if she remembered something.

“The boss doesn’t seem to be here today.”

“Isn’t that the boss?”

“Yes, that person is a part-timer.”

There was a young-looking man wandering around inside. I pointed and asked, and Han Yuna shook her head. She sure thought she looked a bit young for a flower shop owner, but she was a part-time student.

By the way, since when did you know about this place? Looking at the exterior of the store, it doesn’t seem like a very recent place.

“How did you know a place like this existed?”

“Just by chance? Sometimes when I go to work alone, I turn around and go this way to change my mood. But around the end of last year, this store opened. From then on, she used to come to heal me whenever she thought of me.”

Hanyu jokingly added that she didn’t tell me because it was like her own secret place. Then she wanted to ask why did you tell me today, but she didn’t want to disturb her as she was wandering around the flower garden in front of her eyes.

Come to think of it, there was a lady in my house who really liked flowers. While she was thinking about it, should I buy a flower and give it to her as a gift? I think she will be delighted.

Dreuk.

When I opened the sliding door with the thought of putting it into practice, the gaze of the male employee walking around inside turned to me. But those eyes were a little strange. Rather than the feeling of welcoming a visitor, it should be said that I feel a strange sense of hostility.

“I’m going to give my parents a present. Can you recommend just one flower?”

“… Are you talking about flowers? Are you looking for something made of flower pots?”

“Yes, preferably a species that blooms a little more frequently.”

A fairly skinny male employee headed outside at my words, looked at the potted plants in front of him, and put on a contemplative look on what to recommend.

“Are you going to present it to your aunt? You will love it.”

“Yes. My mom likes flowers just as much as you do.”

In the meantime, Yuna Han and I were killing time by chatting with each other. In the meantime,

“How about this one? It does not need to be watered very often, and it blooms frequently, so it is a species that many people are looking for.”

An employee who stood up suddenly, as if to get in between us, smiled as he showed off the potted plant in his hand. But I’m not the one trying to buy the flowers, my eyes are on Han Yuna.

“Wow, it’s pretty. Park Si-yoon, how is this? I think my aunt would like it too.”

“… Well, that’s fine Then I will live with this.”

While answering Han Yuna’s words with my mouth, I kept looking at the flower shop employee because of a sudden sense of difference.

When Hanyuna called my name just now, she felt agitated. Is it because of her mood? It seemed that his eyebrows were twitching for a moment.

“It’s 23,000 won.”

“Yes, here.”

No, let’s not put on a mystery play that doesn’t work for nothing. Because of the recent incident involving Han Yuna, her sense of touch was sharpened, and things she would not normally have paid attention to were caught in her eyes for no reason.

Shaking my head, I handed over my phone to pay.

Beep.

Soon after, the clerk handed me an envelope with flowers along with the receipt from the card reader. It was the moment when I leaned a little in front of the counter to receive it.

“…… !?”

I don’t know if it’s the scent of a flower or what it is, but at least it’s not the scent of perfume, so it’s assumed that it’s a scent that wrapped my nose.

But strangely, as soon as he smelled the smell, which wasn’t particularly unpleasant, he unconsciously distanced himself from it. It felt like an alarm bell was ringing somewhere in my head.

Come to think of it, what was the impression and singularity of the man Choi Min-seong met a while ago?

His face was not visible because he was wearing a hat, but he was quite skinny. As he got closer, he smelled a fragrant scent that seemed not to come from perfume. His voice seemed timid, as if he was crawling.

Besides, this store, Han Yuna said, was opened at the end of last year. I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, but it was at the end of last year that Han Yuna first felt like someone was following her.

Could this really be a coincidence?

“Hey, Siyoon Park. What’s the matter? Because let’s go fast I’m late like this.”

“Uh, uh…. Gotta go Sorry, I was looking around for some flowers.”

“Really? Are you interested in flowers too? What’s up It must have been nice to show you around today.”

Hanyu followed me beside her and smiled broadly. After looking at me, she turned her head behind her as carefully as she could and looked at her flower shop.

There was a male employee from a while ago standing at the door and looking this way. The other person, who must have noticed that our eyes met, quickly turned his back and went back into the store.

I tried not to miss it, watching her back until the end.
