118 – A Thankful Friend
When I wake up in the morning, I see my brother’s face next to me.
These days, whenever I see my brother, I feel my heart pounding hard and my body heating up, but this time it felt different.
How should I say… The feeling of fullness in the chest?
It just makes me smile, and I feel more happiness than excitement.
Well, considering my pervert-like pathetic nature, I think now is a special case, but…… , That is not particularly important.
Anyway, by the way.
As I always say, I am not a blind person.
And I always say this, like the last time I met Shijun, and I also know that my brother is with me for the recent dark days.
To be honest, these past few days have been very happy days.
I didn’t see Iljin, who kept bothering me at school, and I had a lot of time to study peacefully.
Above all, it’s really rare in the past year that we’ve had so many opportunities to meet each other.
From Friday with my brother until now, until Sunday morning. My happiness was at its peak.
Even though Yuhan couldn’t sleep well because of his brother’s characteristic insensitive behavior, so fatigue accumulated a lot.
Is that why? Yesterday, I even thought about it.
To increase the time with my brother, let’s pretend to be a little harder…… Doing.
To the extent that I have such unanswerable, selfish, and unbecoming thoughts, I think it’s true that my time with my brother is affecting me in many ways.
Anyway, what I want to say is of course. I want to be with you for a longer period of time.
Still. Having said that, I plan to return to the nursery school sometime today.
Your brother will need some alone time too. Because I, who is still only a precious ‘younger brother’ to try, can’t be left without an answer.
Summer vacation starts sometime next week anyway.
Because even then I will be able to see you a lot.
The current time is 8:00 in the morning. My brother woke up at around 10 o’clock yesterday.
It must have been because I accidentally turned off the alarm, but it must also have been because of the accumulated fatigue.
I wonder if I will wake up at the same time today…….
Today, wouldn’t it be okay for me to prepare a meal myself?
###
I said this…… , In fact, I don’t have anything to call cooking skills.
In the first place, I had almost no cooking experience.
My brother’s refrigerator was full of all sorts of ingredients, but his head was literally chaos.
Um……. Still, I want to do something…….
I’ve cooked vegetable porridge for my brother in the past, but that experience doesn’t seem to be of any help right now.
I searched for ‘breakfast’ on the Internet, but all I found was useless texts full of strange emoticons.
I wish I had someone to ask.
With that thought in mind, I picked up my phone again and looked at the contact list and saw several names.
Actually, not many people would be okay with calling from 8:00 in the morning.
Should it be collimated?
By the way, I’ve never heard of Si-Jun having ever cooked, but…….
Still, it would be more likely to ask Si-jun, who is a man, rather than other female friends.
After thinking about it for such a long time, a name caught my eye. Seongmin Jeong.
A model student who sits in front of me in the classroom and has good grades in all schools.
Because I talked to him a lot about studying, he’s a male student I’m quite close with.
Well, I think we’re pretty close, but would it be okay if I called you in the morning?
First of all, I opened the chat application and sent KakaoTalk to Jung Sung-min.
After that, the reply came back in less than a minute.
-Me: Seongmin, is the time okay?
-Jeong Seong-min: Hmm!! What’s the matter???
It’s Sunday morning, so you don’t sleep late. Also diligent
Anyway, after chatting for a while, I got to the point.
-Me: Are you doing some cooking?
-Me: I have something to cook…
-Jeong Seong-min: I am confident in cooking!!
-Me: Oh, yes?
-Me: Then can I help you a bit now?
As he said, his reaction seemed quite confident.
I think I can prepare a decent meal for my brother.

Sae-hee sent me a pre-talk!
At first I was so sleepy that I thought I had seen something strange.
The final exams were pretty perfect, and vacation was about to begin, so I was debating whether or not to sleep after reading a romance fantasy novel all night.
“Big… big!”
I cleared my throat.
To be honest, I’d be lying if I said I’ve never been a bit disappointed.
I used to talk to Sehee from time to time at school, but most of the conversations were related to studying.
Besides, there were many times when Park Si-joon would take that brief moment of time.
I think we can get closer by talking to Sehee…… I had only a vague belief that…… !
That Sae-hee has been sending me pre-talk since this morning!
Besides, it’s not about studying, it’s chatting! After that, cooking, not studying! My specialty!
-Han Se-hee: Then I’ll call you right away?
-Me: Yes!!!!!
The drowsiness disappeared in an instant.
The person who awakened my love cells that always spent time reading romance fantasy novels.
I’ve never felt like liking someone because I’ve been obsessed with pretty and cool female characters.
Iljin, who never crosses the line even though he deviate, doesn’t have many friends nearby, so he goes around alone, and his personality is fierce…… Visible!
A woman who seems to have come out of a webcomic like that is friendly with me and calls me on a Sunday morning!
Wasn’t the female lead in the novel that I was reading all morning feel just like that!
Of course, that character was in charge of the Northern Duke, not Iljin, but…… !
Thinking back, Sehee seems to have changed little by little since she started getting study advice from me…… , I started talking to other students little by little.
No, this went too far. But it is true that Sehee is still closer to Park Sijun…….
Still.
What.
As long as we can chat and make phone calls on weekend mornings…… , Is this level of delusion okay?
Just as I was about to do so, my cell phone started ringing. The sender of the call is, of course, Se-hee.
Um…… I saved it as Han Se-hee, so it looks very hard, but I’ll have to change it later.
I cleared my throat once more before answering the phone.
“Uh~ Sehee~!”
And then again. A little talk time follows.
Now it’s time to start talking about cooking. I suddenly became curious and opened my mouth.
“But why suddenly cook? Who wants to cook?”
I didn’t say it because I had a different idea.
“Ah… that… um.”
Still.
“Just. I’m going to try making it myself today.”
For some reason, I felt better when I said that I wasn’t cooking for someone else.

Monday, the day before vacation is still short.
My steps upon entering the classroom were quite light.
Actually, the steps themselves were light all day yesterday.
Because the dish I made with Seongmin’s advice was quite successful.
Yuhani’s brother praised it, comparing it to the vegetable porridge I made for his older brother during his back injury.
Did it taste that bad? It’s unfortunate…… , That’s why I can say that this success is all the more valuable.
When I open the classroom door and enter, the seat next to me, Shi-jun, is empty, and the seat in front of me, Seong-min, is chatting with his friends.
“Sungmin, thank you so much yesterday. I made it really well and ate it.”
“Uh, uh?! Ah! That…, Yeah?! I’ll help you again next time if it’s okay!!”
“Thank you. I’ll ask you again when I get a chance.”
“Oh, yes!!”
I thanked him and sat down.
After putting down the bag and properly organizing the desk drawers.
I wish I had nothing to do, so I would have opened the math problem book right away without worrying…….
Today, I turned on my cell phone screen first.
When you enter the gallery, you will see a picture you took with your brother after eating yesterday’s food.
I was staring at it blankly for a while when I heard a voice.
“Sehee, was that really okay yesterday…?”
I just said it was fine, but actually, it’s normal to want to be confirmed again when you’ve done a good job.
Besides, you helped me with that, how many times can I say thank you?
“I loved it so much. Other good things happened because of it.”
“Ugh~ I’m sorry. I just want to get checked again… I really like cooking…”
When I heard that, I smiled and told him it was okay.
Again, I turned on my cell phone that I had turned off for a while and checked the picture with my brother.
Even if I just asked for a picture, they would have taken a picture, but the fact that the picture was taken after eating the food I made made it more special.
Besides, something special happened.
With the desire to keep seeing my brother……. Using the excuse of cooking for her, Yuhan asked her brother if it would be okay if he continued to visit her during vacation. I even heard a confirmation that it was okay to come to me without saying anything.
I’m just grateful to Sungmin no matter what.
After a while, I put my cell phone in and was about to take out the workbook. This time, Shijun opened the classroom door and came in.
“Sehee~ Did you have a good weekend?”
“Uh, well, I had a good time. Did you have any problems?”
We started chatting with a simple greeting.
My head was full of expectations for vacation.
Poor dude get friendzoned lmao
