My date with Yu-ri Lee went very smoothly. Yu-ri Lee obediently came under my umbrella and left her own behind, muttering things like, "Why do I have the same umbrella as you…?" But as soon as she arrived at the arcade, her attitude changed. We sang excitedly at the coin karaoke room, and afterward, we sweated it out by playing air hockey and DDR. When Yu-ri Lee started singing and using her body in the arcade, it was obvious that she got quite excited.
"Shoot! Ah! Why can't I just keep shooting!"
Yu-ri Lee, who was playing a mini-basketball game, got angry and stamped her foot when her ball kept missing. Although her academic ability was better than anyone else's, her athletic ability was poor, and she missed everything she did. I, who was worse than her, helped her to give her a sense of accomplishment.
"Aren't you throwing with too much force? It would be a bit different if you just changed your posture a little. Like this."
As if giving her a back hug, I went behind Yu-ri and placed my chest against her back. I held her arms from behind. Yu-ri shook her shoulders in shock and turned her head back, rolling her eyes.
"You… Are you doing this now, not so subtly, but so openly?"
"You didn't like it?"
"…"
Yu-ri bit her lip and turned her head forward again without answering. This girl is almost over it now. I moved Yu-ri Lee's wrist, which was holding the basketball, to help her maintain her posture, and then took my body away.
"In that situation, think about moving only your left wrist and throw it like this. You know the line that the left hand is only the girdle?"
After I showed a demonstration in the air, Yu-ri Lee followed suit, but once again, the ball fell without even hitting the goalpost. I used that as an excuse to continue the skinship, and Yu-ri only glanced at me each time but did not stop me. After several attempts, Yu-ri Lee managed to score a goal. As soon as she scored, she jumped up and down in excitement.
"I finally put it in! Oh, I was so annoyed I thought I was going to die!"
"Congratulations, high five for victory?"
Wow!
Yu-ri Lee touched her palm with mine without resistance. Anyone can see that we are a couple who gets along well. Perhaps conscious of that, after giving a high five, Yu-ri Lee immediately withdrew her hand, looked away, and lightly tapped my chest with his fist.
"But why have you been groping my body for a while? I didn't even give you permission."
"I didn't even say I didn't like it."
"Oh, no, that's it! I just meant to teach you the movements. Just make me do that…"
"You?"
"If you stick to my back like that, your breath will be in my ear… Ah! I don't know! Anyway, don't touch my body like that! If anyone sees me, they'll think I'm a really cheap person! I'm not that kind of girl, right?!"
Yu-ri Lee gets angry. However, when we finished her date at the arcade and went outside in the rain, she stood in front of the arcade entrance, even though she had her own umbrella, and waited for me to open it. It's cute. We walked away, clinging to each other inside my umbrella with Yu-ri Lee.
"It's raining like this, so taking a walk in the park doesn't seem like a good idea. Shall we go to a café?"
"Then. Why did it rain today…"
"Why? Aren't you secretly waiting to go on a date with me?"
"Oh, no, it's just because the weather is bad…!"
"Yeah, yeah, everything Yu-ri said is true."
I stroked Yu-ri's head, and even though Yu-ri's hair was soft, she didn't move my hand away from touching her hair.
"You're really annoying…"
We moved to a nearby café and talked about various things while drinking coffee. From stories about our weekday rumors to Yu-ri Lee's student council work, etc. In particular, what exactly Yu-ri Lee does in the student council was never described in detail in the original work, so it was fun to listen to in its own way.
"Then what do you do during sports day?"
When one of the things that the student council does is to prepare a budget for the sports day in May, I suddenly became curious. Even though there was a big event called a sports day in the original work, Yu-ri Lee never appeared at that event. At that time, the only talk at the sports day centered on Choi Soo-yeon and Jeong Eun-ji.
"Me? I have to work with the student council members to check if there are any problems at the sports day and submit a report on the results."
In short, it meant that she could not attend the sports day because of work. It's said that the student council president in this world has a lot of real power and a lot of work to do, unlike the high school student council president, but it's a bit pitiful that she can't participate in the sports festival that only happens once a year because she's working.
"Then you can't participate at all. Is that okay?"
"Someone has to do it anyway. The student council president has such great authority that he even prepares the budget. And I'm terrible at using my body."
"Oh, I could understand that just by watching you play basketball with DDR."
"Hey!"
"But it's a pity. Whether you do well or not, it would have been nice if you had participated, too."
"…Why?"
"No, just. I thought it would be nice to run a sports team with you. I wanted to try something like 2-person 3-legs."
"Two, two people and three angles… Why am I doing that with you…"
"Or sexy cheerleader Yu-ri Lee, giving me her love and support?"
"Hey!!! Do you really want to keep saying strange things?!"
Yu-ri Lee, who shouted angrily, drank her cup of coffee with a blush on her face and then changed her subject.
"Hmm, hmm. Isn't there something you need to take care of before then? It's not the sports day until May."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Mock test!"
When the word 'mock test' came up, I quietly averted my gaze. However, Yu-ri Lee moved her seat next to me and started nagging me, as if she had just found her new stage.
"When I thought about it, it wasn't important to just hang out like this. Do you know that there is a mock paper test in April next week?"
"I know…"
"How about studying?"
"…Would you like to go and play another round of DDR?"
"I did it, I didn't."
"I couldn't do it."
Yu-ri Lee sighed deeply at my answer.
"You're always interested in dozing off in class and doing other things and having fun. You start studying with me next week. There's no dating or anything else until then."
"Oh, so you're acknowledging that what we're doing now is a date?"
"…!!!"
Yu-ri averted her gaze and answered as if nothing had happened.
"You, I'm just hanging out with you! Since I've been hanging out with you this much, promise me you'll do your best and study properly! Or, I'll lend you a workbook today, so you can go to a study café later in the evening and—"
"Oh, I'm sorry, but not today. I have somewhere to go later in the evening."
"Oh… Really?"
Yu-ri Lee's expression becomes noticeably glum.
I want to kiss you.
"Yeah. I have to leave around 5 o'clock or earlier. Don't worry, I'll be with you until then."
"I see… Then shall we talk more about studying in preparation for the written test?"
"Can I just go now?"
While I was chatting with Yu-ri Lee about various things, time passed by, and it was already past 4:30. While I was talking, I occasionally looked at my phone and checked text messages.
'I think it's about time…'
When I had free time between café dates with Yu-ri Lee, I was encouraging Su-yeon Choi to follow my date course with Young-bae Gong. It tells us where we went last weekend and at the same time tells us that the café we are currently in has a great atmosphere and is a place where many couples come. While I was anxiously waiting to see when it would arrive, I saw a man and a woman folding an umbrella through the glass door of the café. The man was a handsome man, but his style was ordinary, and the woman was dressed much more extravagantly than the man and had blonde hair and a great body.
'It's here!'
It was Choi Su-yeon and Gong Young-bae. The moment I saw the two entering the café, I sat down next to her and blocked her view of the entrance so she wouldn't see them.
"What, what?"
Yu-ri Lee, unaware of her situation, suddenly saw me closing the distance between us and tilted her upper body back slightly.
"It's just that you looked prettier while we were dating."
"You're saying something strange again! Do you really want to keep doing this?!"
"But I'm not kidding."
"…Huh?"
…
Yu-ri Lee's heart started pounding again as if it would explode at Han Seong-jin's words. I wanted to push him away, telling him to stop talking nonsense, but the distance to Han Seong-jin was too close for that. And while I was moving today, the feeling of snuggling next to him and holding an umbrella with him… wasn't bad. He was a man with a sturdy physique and massive muscles. He was rumored to be an unreasonable gangster, but when I actually talked to him, he turned out to be much more normal and gentle than I expected. In addition, he had a manly face.
Last week, after hearing Han Seong-jin openly say, "Because I like you," Yu-ri Lee herself felt that her heart was being shaken severely. The feeling of being protected wasn't bad. It felt perfect to be treated as a precious woman by someone. It was the first time that I felt that my position and situation were taken into consideration with great care. When I looked at Han Seong-jin's black eyes, I felt like my heart was going to jump out.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and in the end, Yu-ri Lee asked Han Seong-jin in a crawling voice as if she was possessed.
"…Hey, Han Seong-jin. Let me ask you something."
"What is it?"
"You know what you said last time. Do you… Really like me?"
"What did you say last time…? Did you remember that? Weren't you drunk?"
"Even though I was drunk, I still remember everything. So answer me. Do you… Like me?"
The silence that fell between the two felt like an eternity to Yu-ri Lee. Yu-ri Lee felt relieved and regretted saying those words from her heart. She blamed Han Seong-jin for not answering right away, and at the same time, she hoped he would just say something.
And instead of answering, Han Seong-jin extended her hand first. He caressed Yu-ri's cheek with one hand and folded his rough hand on Yu-ri's small, soft hand.
"Then let me say it one more time. I like you."
Yu-ri Lee confessed this time while completely sober and completely sober.
