“Wow- Yoo Seon-ah, how did you find out about this place? I live here too, but it was the first time I knew there was a place like this in my neighborhood..!”
“This is basic, well-“
Yoo-jung melted a lot last night, so while I was sleeping, I figured out places to see and delicious restaurants around here on my cell phone.
Because I definitely have a cell phone, it was nice to be able to search on the Internet if I had any questions.
And also- because we were able to know the reviews of people who used it before us and things like that…
Early in the morning, I got out of bed, washed up, ate a simple breakfast, and then went out and took a bus to go somewhere.
I didn’t tell Yu-jeong where to go.
Yoo-jeong followed me on the bus without saying anything and left.
To be honest, I was a little nervous.
I went out with Yoojung confidently.
I was afraid that the places I visited last night might not be as good as I thought, so I was nervous.
When she looked at Yu-jeong, her face brightened, she realized that her worries were unfounded.
We got off at a lake near the university.
Around the lake, there are well-decorated promenades for people to walk around, and there are many benches to sit and rest in the middle.
And there were a lot of cafes and restaurants with high ratings around here, and there were also a lot of buses going around, so there was no inconvenience in going to other places.
“There are a lot of people today because the weather is nice”
Flower spring There was no cold and no yellow dust, so it was the best weather for an outing.
The weather was the right temperature, neither hot nor cold- and the sky was dazzlingly blue, as if a lot of blue paint had been released.
If you think about it, every time you go on vacation, Yoojung stays at home and sleeps, or spends her time doing part-time jobs.
It’s been a long time since I came out so pure and played without thinking about money.
“…Sure! What are we supposed to do here?”
“Let’s go to the cafe over there and talk while drinking something!”
I took Yoojung’s hand and walked to her highly rated cafe.
… Come to think of it, let’s eat jajangmyeon at another Chinese restaurant for today’s dinner to the chef of the Chinese restaurant! It feels like saying
Yoo-jeong seemed to have no idea.
Yu-jeong was smiling, and she was already contemplating what to eat as she settled down in the sunniest place.
Is there a difference between what she makes and eats herself, and what other people make and eats..? I’m not sure.
She each decided on the menu she wanted to eat and sat down to look at the window.
Maybe it’s because the weather is nice today and the cafe view here is good- I feel like my heart is healed naturally just by looking at the outside scenery.
“Wow… Yoo Seon-ah, look over there-“
“It’s a puppy…? It’s cute”
As I was observing a person running round and round along the lakeside with a small poodle- the vibrating bell rang.
Coffee was brought from the checkout counter, and we drank and observed the scenery outside.
I didn’t sleep well yesterday because I was browsing various things on my cell phone, but after drinking coffee, the caffeine seems to clear my mind.
Sitting here and staring at the scenery outside without thinking – just that alone seemed to wash away all my fatigue.
I kept following the person taking the dog for a walk round and round the lake with my eyes, and on the other side I saw a person walking with a slightly larger dog.
Maybe it’s because he’s the owner of a big dog, but he’s tall and he’s already been walking around wearing only short sleeves.
What if a big dog like that touches a cute poodle?
I was worried about that for a while- Seeing them wagging their tails, building a lot, and turning round and round, they seemed friendly to each other.
The dog owners seemed friendly too.
The two owners were standing in the middle of the lake talking about this and that.
When Yoojung and I were sitting, I couldn’t tell what the two of them were talking about, but seeing them smile at each other every time they talked, it seemed like they were talking about something interesting…
“Uh…?”
Suddenly, without talking, the two began to hug each other tightly and share a sticky kiss.
The woman’s hand was placed on the man’s shoulder, and naturally the man’s arm wrapped around the woman’s waist and slowly began to tighten.
… No, in broad daylight… There are so many people, they do that kind of thing…?
My face flushed at the unexpected sight.
“…Uh… Father…!”
Yoo-jung, who was watching the scene with me, also turned very red… We both just looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
“Hey Yoo Seonah…I’m just like them… Huh…?”
“Huh..?”
“…That”
When you say that, I think you mean the one we just saw.
..No, it’s not in the park- it’s on the cafe terrace. …It’s okay to do it inside the building, …Yoo-jung’s lips were smeared with cream.
And I wanted to wipe it off.
I slowly approached Yoo-jung.
Yujeong closed her eyes and waited for me.
I held Yoo-jung’s slim jawline with her hand. Soft. And I was getting closer to Yoojung little by little…
“…?”
“..Why..? Yoo Seon-ah..?”
“No no… Well… I think someone is watching us”
“..Who?”
“…Am I wrong…?”
It seemed like someone was watching us.
When I looked around the cafe, everyone was doing their own thing and no one was looking at us.
… No, first of all, if the man and woman who were on the lakeside looked at us right away, she would have acted, pretending not to care and just doing our own thing.
Isn’t it similar to that? To be honest, kissing in a cafe might look bad to older people.
“…Let’s rest a little longer- Shall we go eat? I think we should have lunch now-“
“Good!”
As I left the house this morning, I remembered what had happened and my head hurt a little.
It wasn’t a serious problem.
As soon as I left the front door on the 1st floor of the apartment with Yoojung today, I felt strongly that someone was watching us.
So even if you look back with a ‘just in case’ mind – only leaflets are blowing in the wind.
There was nothing. These days, there are a lot of things involving Lee Jin-ah. Maybe my nerves are a bit sensitive…
“Today we are going to eat there!”
“…Isn’t that expensive?”
“Lunch sets aren’t that expensive. What I’ve done for you so far, I can do this much.”
There was a restaurant nearby that was good at spaghetti, so when I tried to go there, Yoo-jung hesitated.
That’s also true, because the interior was pretty fancy, so it looked a bit expensive. Actually, the price is a bit high.
That’s why I think you were reluctant to go in and eat something.
I came to play with Yoo-jung after a long time and eat rice- I wanted to feed her something good.
“…It’s okay! It’s okay! I’m hungry..! Let’s go in quickly!”
“…Uh…Yes…”
I grabbed Yoo-jung’s wrist and entered the restaurant.
I gave my phone number because I had made a reservation yesterday, and a waitress in a black uniform guided us to our seats with familiar steps.
Then… They handed us the menu, and Yujeong and I opened it.
From noble mtl dot com
“…30.0 Means 30,000 won?”
“Uh”
“…I.. So.. Yes.. Yoo Seon-i chooses! What should I eat?”
“..Uh..? Uh… Ok! Then let’s have a meeting about what to eat!”
In the past, when I was in high school, I was caught by Jinah Lee and dragged to a restaurant like this.
Could it be that the emotions I felt at that time and the emotions Yoo-jung is feeling now are the same?
Maybe I asked to eat at a place that was too burdensome?
I almost felt apologetic towards Yoo-jung, but when I saw Yoo-jung smiling so brightly, I thought that it was good that she came here.

Lake Park is a bit far from downtown, so we ate and then took a bus to go somewhere else.
Come to think of it, it was the day I decided to buy clothes for myself. After wandering the streets, we entered a SPA brand store.
“…For now, I’m going to buy basic items here! Buy something like a plain T-shirt or cotton pants that I can wear anytime here…! Then let’s decide what to buy!”
Yes. First of all, it is important to increase the number of clothes you are wearing.
Being a human means losing to jeans, but you can’t go around wearing them.
I think Yoojung and I have similar views on clothes in that we don’t need to buy expensive clothes at department stores when we buy hoodies and stuff like that.
“…Would you like to try this on? And try this too!”
After all, since Yoojung is a woman, she has a discerning eye when it comes to choosing clothes.
Come to think of it, when she went to Mirae High School, Yu-jeong also bought her clothes.
In a way, Yoo-jung’s taste has been incorporated to some extent in the style of clothes I’m wearing now and in those areas.
You can wear this like this- You can wear that like that. Because I still used the clothes I learned then.
“…If you wear a white Monty under a gray hoodie… The cotton tee will come out. This is called layering…”
After I changed my clothes, Yoo-jung checked my clothes.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror. She looked much neater now than when she was wearing a light coat.
“…Since it’s like this, it seems like we’re wearing our couple look! Right..?!”
…As Yoo-jung said, Yoo-jung and I in the mirror are in gray tops and jeans. It seemed that the white sneakers were worn on purpose.
Could it be that Yoo-jung was aiming for this and dressed me like this…? Yoo-jung opened her eyes thinly and wondered what was so funny about her.
Covering her mouth with one hand, she spoke to me while laughing.
“…Yoo Seon-ah..! Then I bought clothes..! Let’s go out for a drink now!”
