“Should I call you Domi too?”
“… … If you want to kill me, that’s fine.”
“Huh, while doing more things with me in the past. You came and washed a lot with mud.”
“Yeah, that was a long time ago.”
“I’m still fine.”
When she said that, her face was dyed bright red.
A little away from me, she asked me.
“Do, huh?”
I swallowed my saliva involuntarily.
“… … stop joking around I think I’ll run away like this.”
“Not yet?”
The word still pierced my heart.
When Seol-hyang Baek, who had just been the president of the World Returnees Association, returned to her childhood friend Jin Seol-hyang in an instant, he could not come to his senses.
At the same time, ironically, I immediately felt the woman who had just felt so far away right in front of me.
Silver hair and eyelashes that shine in the sunset.
Blue sapphire-like eyes looking only at me.
As if it was not my mistake, the cheeks dyed darker than the sunset and the sweet scent that tickles the tip of the nose that is felt by the wind.
And even the pounding in the tension and anxious emotions that I can feel even from the hand holding my hand.
It all pointed to one thing.
Seolhyang liked me.
Because I was her past and present.
just like i did
It must have been the happiest memory of the past she had lost.
Thinking back on that time, I unintentionally hope to connect with that memory.
“Ha-chan.”
Anxiety could be felt in her hands.
Me and her have already walked different paths for a long time.
I’m sorry for her, but it was a memory I had forgotten to the extent that I only remembered her name today.
“If I can’t get along like I used to, will I be able to get along with Ha-chan again?”
So Seol-hyang must have been anxious.
Maybe I’ve forgotten myself forever.
I thought it might be my only memory.
That must have been the reason why she had endured so far without saying anything.
So I held her hand strongly to shake off her anxiety.
Parr, I said to Seolhyang, who trembled once.
“I can stay. Well, it’s difficult.”
Hearing my words, Seolhyang’s eyes widened.
“Then the company… … .”
“No, that’s not it. President.”
“too bad.”
Seolhyang inflated her cheeks as if dissatisfied.
She was always perfect, but she seemed to have returned to the past when she was Jin Seol-hyang as much as now and this moment.
“How did you change your last name?”
“My mother remarried.”
As a child, I do not know why Seol-hyang transferred to school.
Because I was young, I couldn’t understand what adults were saying.
“The person on my father’s side who remarried was the Baek family. So, I changed my last name. My mother liked him a lot.”
“Now is.”
“You two are doing well. After I returned, my father helped me a lot in setting up the association.”
Seolhyang was the only one involved in the dimensional shift.
Seeing Seol-hyang, who must have survived and returned home after being caught up in a dimensional shift at the age of an elementary school student, broke my heart.
“Sorry. If I had known sooner.”
So I spit it out like a gibberish.
I thought that if I had remembered her and found her, I might have been able to do something for her.
“What are you sorry for?”
Seeing me like that, Seolhyang raised her opposite hand and warmly put my hand on top of it.
Then he put his hand in front of his face and held it as if it were precious.
“You said He said he regained his composure while playing the game. I have always been helping Ha-chan from you.”
“All I did in the game was… … .”
“It was good because you were the same. Because you were the most precious and happiest memory for me.”
I couldn’t say anything.
“At that time, I couldn’t hang out with anyone. My father went to jail after beating me and my mother, and my mother, who divorced me, was busy with work every day to make money to feed me.”
Seolhyang’s eyes closed as if recalling that time.
“There was no power. The place where I was beaten by my father had already healed a long time ago, but I was still sick, and when I returned home, I was always alone.”
Parents are everything to a child.
Seol-hyang’s life without such parents would have been very painful and lonely.
“It was natural for me to be alone. I didn’t know what it was like to make friends, and I couldn’t even complain to my working mom. My mother must have been very worried about me.”
The past was a pain that would never go away for her.
“But by chance, I became friends with a child next door. Actually, it’s a friend, that kid came to me first. He was a very bright child, so I avoided him at first, but he followed me tenaciously.”
“sorry. you should have been pretty Even little ones like pretty things.”
“Huhuhuh, smirk. However, the child who rang the doorbell every day suddenly went to school with me, sat down next to me, played pranks together, ate lunch together after returning from school, and played to the extent that the day might have ended. At night, both of them were together Day after day I fall asleep.”
Seolhyang slowly bowed her head and rested her head on my shoulder.
“Well, that’s so happy. I didn’t know that I was lonely, but without that child, I was lonely, so I waited for that time. Looking forward to tomorrow again.”
That wet voice trembled.
“Every day, every day is different. When I wake up in the morning, I prepare to see that child, and go to school together. For me, it was so precious and so big that it was salvation.”
I raised my hand and patted the back of Seolhyang’s head.
Seolhyang rubbed her cheek with my hand at my actions and let out a small laugh.
“I couldn’t live until now without that day. It was scary, difficult, and exhausting, because just thinking about that day fills me up again.”
I looked up at the sky.
The night sky, where the sun had completely disappeared, caught my eye.
“I like you.”
And I heard Seolhyang’s voice that I had been holding back in my ears.
“I loved you back then, and I still love Ha-chan so much.”
The night wind blew past the two of us.
Suddenly, he met Seolhyang’s two eyes, whose head was raised between the lamps that were turned on one by one.
The emotions in those eyes are so big and precious.
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
Her face approached slowly.
The heat I could feel from Seolhyang’s face, approaching right in front of me, reached me as well.
And just before their lips touch.
Seolhyang stopped there.
“And I know the time is not yet.”
At that moment, I felt a soft touch on my forehead.
When I finally regained consciousness, Seolhyang lifted her lips that had touched my forehead and walked around with a soft smile.
“I don’t want to push my feelings for the past. So I will wait until Ha-chan hears me in his mind.”
As if she was going to put up with this for now, she was making various expressions that I had never seen before today.
“Don’t make me wait too long.”
“… … yes.”
That was all I could say now.
Since she got to know an old childhood friend and knew the feelings she had for me, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
Seolhyang met my eyes and got up from her seat and turned away from me.
“That’s all for today. Because I can’t stand it any longer.”
Seolhyang’s two ears were dyed very bright red.
He seemed to think that if he didn’t show his face, he wouldn’t know how red his face was.
Looking at it, I could see how much courage she had today.
“… … Can I go home and call you again?”
And when she asked me shyly, looking back at me, I had no choice but to nod my head.
“You can do it every day.”
“Huh, aren’t you giving yourself too much room?”
“Now, there are so many stories coming in at once and it’s crazy, so I have a lot of stories I want to tell. From the reason you formed the Returnees Association, how have you been living? I have a lot of questions.”
Even if I couldn’t immediately respond to the feeling of liking me, Seolhyang and I had a lot to talk about.
There are a lot of stories that need to be unraveled one by one.
“So, nice to see you again. Jin Seol-hyang.”
Seolhyang’s eyes widened for a moment, and then a smile filled with tears.
I thought that smile was more beautiful than any smile I had ever seen.
“Yes, Ha-chan.”
My childhood friend whom I met after a long time was still the same as back then.

Seol-hyang, who escaped from Ha-chan, was still sitting in the car with her cheeks dyed bright red.
Jin Seol-hyang.
his old name.
The moment Ha-chan called her name again, the memories of that time long ago filled her again.
‘great. i love it.’
In the car, she started to wrap one hand around the ball and wiggle her arm with the other.
it was good.
That the owner of the only happy memory he had is remembering him.
happy.
That the person in those good memories is the same person as then.
‘I like you.’
Those three letters that felt like my heart would burst just by saying it out of my mouth again disturbed Seolhyang’s mind.
In addition, when Hachan’s expression that she had made when she said “Hard to know” came to mind, she started shaking her legs.
‘It was cute.’
Maybe it was because she had been holding on to her for a long time, so she couldn’t control herself now.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been so happy.
But now the situation still had some problems with some.
Ha-chan will definitely think about his confession for a long time.
If it were Ha-chan’s personality right now, he would have been reluctant to date anyone until he found Kang Mari.
Knowing that fact, he deliberately delayed the answer.
Instead, he threw the numbers to make sure he was conscious of himself.
The problem here is that there are not only two women attached to Ha-chan.
‘Heaven.’
First of all, Cheon Hong-ryun, a game friend and younger sister of Ha-chan.
When he thought of her, Seolhyang’s eyes turned slightly cold.
Although she pretends to be straightforward, she is shy, but she makes the mistake of aggressively dashing towards Ha-chan.
In addition, Ha-chan was unaware of her rational feelings, perhaps because she had been considering her as a younger brother for quite some time.
‘And Hashiho.’
A child who is the opposite of himself with his height and body.
At first, I thought I wouldn’t get involved with Ha-chan at all, but after the uninhabited island incident, I gradually started to approach Ha-chan, and after Kwak Sa-yeon happened, I fell in love.
Because Shiho’s eyes looking at Hachan couldn’t be completely captivated and only looked at him.
As a teenager who was flaming in love, he did a daring thing without any fuss, of course, moving that space was a foul, frankly.
Besides, because of the situation, Ha-chan also has a perception that he is Shi-ho’s protector, so he can’t even throw it away.
But there is a downside.
For Ha-chan, who is going to live well without the law, being a minor is a big disadvantage as a stumbling block.
‘Three months to go.’
As soon as 2031 arrives, Shiho becomes an adult.
If that happens, the rule of being a minor disappears.
So before that, I had to float the number of wins.
Besides these two, there were several other potential characters in Seolhyang’s mind.
“Why is it really so popular?”
She pursed her lips with a slightly sullen expression.
It’s nice for other people to recognize the person she likes, but she’s not the only one who’s worried about the number of competitors.
“I mean, I liked you first.”
She grunted and leaned her head slightly against the window.
Shall I just push it over?
If it was Hachan, he would definitely take responsibility for it until the end.
At that thought, Seolhyang’s face slowly began to heat up.
‘What do I think.’
Still, she glanced at her own body.
Even as a woman herself, she has large breasts and a s*xy looking body.
Ha-chan is also a man after all.
She knew well that her eyes naturally turned this way every time.
Maybe Ha-chan wants it too.
At some point, it’s clear that you want to do this at will.
“Ah, huh.”
Even the breath coming out of her mouth heated up, she screamed once and slapped her in the face.
What would you do with only Ha-chan’s body?
It couldn’t be called a victory unless you got a real heart.
‘First of all, it’s Marie. As long as I can’t solve my sister’s business, I can’t even date Ha-chan.’
She clasped her hands tightly.
It was her true appearance that she was trying to win even love with her own hands.

On the way home after breaking up with Seolhyang.
As I walked, a man approached and stood up.
That was Baeksan.
He just appeared after disappearing earlier and walked next to me and said,
“Is it all over now?”
“Oh, Baeksan, you knew from the beginning.”
“… … okay.”
It is a mountain that returned from the future.
Of course, Seolhyang and I should have known from the beginning.
But the reason I didn’t say it was probably because I wanted the two of us to solve it ourselves.
“thank you. Wait for me.”
“I haven’t done anything to thank you.”
Seeing him tickling, I smiled once.
And at the same time, I decided to ask a question I had.
“Baeksan, can I ask you a question?”
“Well, you probably know a bit, but tell me.”
“Seolhyang’s mother’s remarried surname is Baek. The reaction you showed to Seolhyang is the same.”
This is what I’ve been thinking about all along.
Baeksan’s unusually sensitive reaction to Seolhyang was something that bothered me all the time.
“Is Seolhyang’s stepfather your father?”
When I asked a question, Baeksan stopped walking and then slowly scratched his head.
“okay.”
Was it like that too?
It is only now that I begin to understand why Baeksan reacted.
“I met him for the first time after I got back after I got involved in a dimension shift, but I’ve been coming in through my mother. So, well, it was legally a family. It’s like my birthday is a few months earlier. I was annoyed because I tried to pretend to be noona.”
Although grunting, I could see why Baeksan was unusually closer to Seolhyang.
“Then I guess it was because I was embarrassed that I didn’t call Seolhyang by my first name.”
“Well, no, hey bastard! What a strange misunderstanding you are!”
“Oh, Dom Hwangcha.”
I laughed like that as I heard Baeksan’s screaming voice resounding.
I thought so at the same time.
One day, I want to see Baeksan and Seolhyang fighting with each other and getting along well with my own two eyes.
