41 – Chapter 41: Tree

“Okay – that’s all for today’s class. Newton and Newton’s girlfriend, sit down together from next class. Let’s date beautifully. That’s it. Class is over.”
“Thank you for your hard work~”
“Yes.”
Even though the math teacher left the classroom and class ended…
All the classmates didn’t get up from their seats.
It was as if he was silently observing how we were doing by alternately looking at me and the galaxy.
There were children who looked at me with envious eyes, and there were also people who lamented softly, saying, “Is this me?”
I got up from my seat thinking that the kids would do their job only if one of Eunha and I moved.
“Eunha. Let’s go to the canteen.”
“Ah-yeah!”
Eunha jumped up from her seat as if she had the same thoughts as me.
I hurriedly left the classroom with Eunha, who ran next to me.
Eunha couldn’t look me in the eyes, probably because she was very embarrassed about the current situation.
“Did you do something very bold?”
At my words, Eunha stopped her steps and held my face in her own hands.
“Eunha. Even her ears turned red. Are you okay. I was very happy.”
“Ugh…! I didn’t know the kids would react like this! Was I that bold?”
“You actually said you wanted to stick with me all day.”
“I’m not wrong…!”
“What?!”
I was also startled by Eunha’s remark.
Because we’re dating, it really beats my heart without mercy.
“Isn’t it Hangyeol? Is it just me?”
It was a galaxy quietly looking at me through the gap between her fingers.
I looked at him with expectant eyes, but I couldn’t bear to lie.
“So am I…”
“Are you shy?”
“Aren’t you ashamed?”
“You must have just been shy?!”
“Eunha. This break will be over. Let’s go to the store quickly.”
As I ran, Eunha immediately blocked my way.
I demanded an answer, blocking the direction I was moving with my whole body.
“I have to answer properly.”
“Um…!”
“Answer me. Were you ashamed?”
When I gave up and nodded, Eunha smiled very happily.
Maybe Eunha expresses her feelings better than me.
Only then did she come to my side and walk in line with her feet.
As I passed the hallway full of children, Eunha carefully held my hand.
It was a galaxy looking up at me with a smile.
“Are you embarrassed if I said the same thing as before?”
“If you say something embarrassing, of course it’s embarrassing.”
“I really like Han Kyul’s shy expression.”
“It’s not the expression I want to show, so why do you like it?”
“That’s right… I am the only one who knows Han Kyul’s shy expression. And-“
Eunha shyly continued talking.
Bitting my lips lightly, I prepared for what the next Eunha would say.
It must be a statement that will strike my heart…!
“I feel like I have a monopoly on Han Kyul’s shy expression, so I’m very happy.”
As expected…I tried biting my lip harder, but it was impossible.
No matter how many walls I built up, Eunha broke them down with just one word.
A smile naturally bloomed on her face at that word.
“Eunha. You really…!”
“Why? Did I say something embarrassing again?”
“No. Please keep expressing your feelings honestly like that.”
“Then are you going to keep showing that shy expression?”
“I’ll show you as much as you want.”
“Yes. I like you.”
I don’t think I can say that Eunha is a child with poor expressions anymore.
How can you say such a thing when you express your feelings honestly like this?
“Yes. I like Eunha too. I love you so much.”
At my words, Eunha’s face instantly heated up.
I became good at expressing myself, but I still felt embarrassed about accepting my expressions.
Looking at this, it was indeed a galaxy I knew.
“Why? Are you ashamed of me?”
“Ah-! That store will be closed! Let’s go!”
“Eunha. You have to answer properly.”
I smiled and returned exactly what Eunha had said.
Eunha twisted left and right and tried to escape, but I blocked it with my body.
Only then did he speak in a low voice.
“I’m ashamed…”
“Yes. You can tell by the look on your face.”
“Ah-! Don’t make fun of me!”
“I should go to the store and eat fresh cream bread, which Eunha likes.”
“Ah-! That is already in the past!”
“It was so cute back then.”
“Are you listening to me?! Forget it!”

“Okay! Let’s go, whipped cream!”
“Don’t call your girlfriend weird! What is whipped cream!”
I’m so happy I’m dying.
I also wanted to monopolize Eunha’s embarrassing expression.

I was on my way home from dinner with Eunha.
The galaxy was eating the orange-flavored candy I gave you for dessert.
“Eunha. What are you going to do when you go home?”
“Shouldn’t I study? Midterm exams are in a few weeks.”
“Last week, Eunha was sick, and I went to see cherry blossoms on the weekend and couldn’t tell.”
“Yes. Why?”
“Should I just study with Eunha whenever I have free time? I don’t really know the academy.”
His face blushed as if he was happy with my suggestion.
Just by looking at his real expression, you can clearly see what he’s thinking.
“Okay. Is Han Kyul okay?”
“I like studying with Eunha too.”
“Shall we buy something to drink on the way home then?”
“Yes. Is there a cafe on the way?”
“Oh, there is a cafe in our apartment complex. Let’s buy it there.”
“Today, I should follow what Eunha drinks.”
What I did after following the menu was that Eunha was slightly happy.
He smiled brightly and asked me.
“Even if I order something very tasteless?”
“Yes. Even if you order something very tasteless.”
“Really~ stop liking me.”
“How do you do that?”
“Can’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Then keep liking it.”
“I will.”
I arrived at the cafe with a smile on my face.
“Two Hallabong Ades, please.”
“Yes. I’ll prepare it soon. Please wait for a moment.”
Eunha finished her order and stood next to me.
“I ordered Hallabong Ade, is it okay?”
“Yes. I like it too. But Eun-ha seems to have a particular fondness for citrus fruits.”
“I also like oranges, Hallabong, Cheon Hye-hyang and tangerines.”
“Is there any particular reason why you like it?”
“Um… Is that so? I don’t remember it well, but I think I ate it often after I ate it in Jeju Island.”
It seemed that there was no particular reason.
“What kind of fruit does Hangyul like?”
“I just like apples normally.”
“I’ll remember.”
“Later, when I’m old, I want to plant a tangerine tree for Eunha and an apple tree for me.”
I wanted to see Eunha’s shy expression.
That’s what I said…
Unexpectedly, Eunha answered with a smile rather than shyness.
“Sure. I really want to do that.”
“Um-?”
“I think it will be okay if I die after living like that.”
Of course, I also wanted that kind of life.
But the weight of what I said now was light even when I thought about it myself.
It was a word without even a vague plan, but Eunha took it very seriously.
You could have thought that was irresponsible…
On the contrary, Eunha smiled as she pictured the future with me in her head.
If I knew you would take it this way, I would have said it in a more serious tone.
She couldn’t contain her words, so she hastily apologized.
“I’m sorry.”
“Huh? Why are you suddenly apologizing?”
“I think I said it too lightly.”
“Huh? I said it jokingly, but I know it’s not empty, so don’t apologize.”
“Will you believe everything I say?”
“Of course not. Isn’t it strange that you don’t believe Han Kyul when you see him?”
It was a galaxy that spoke as if it were natural.
“Is that so…? It’s a question. What do you see and believe in me?”
“Seeing that you tell me honestly and accept it as it is?”
“Huh? Isn’t that nothing?”
“It’s my personal opinion, but I think that’s the hardest thing? Hangyul does the things that I find most difficult and difficult for me to do without any hesitation. So I’m envious, but also cool. I guess that’s why I want to resemble Han Kyul. I want to be the same person.”
I was thrilled, but expressing my excitement was not enough.
How can I say it… It was a very happy, embarrassing, and thankful feeling.
It felt like affirming the person who is ‘me’ and ‘my life’.
“I really like Han Kyul like that. Of course, there are countless other reasons why I like Hangyul.”
In my opinion, I’m not as great a person as Eunha thinks.
However, I strongly hoped that Eunha would continue to look at me like that.
“I will try. So that the galaxy can continue to think that way.”
“Huh? Why are you trying? Han Kyul is already that kind of person?”
“I’ll try anyway.”
As I clenched my fists and said, Eunha smiled brightly and stroked my hair.
“It’s wonderful.”
“Let’s live by planting tangerine trees and apple trees.”
“Is that so? Ah- Then should I live in the countryside?”
“Where should I plant one tree at a time?”
“Isn’t that illegal? Or is it not possible to buy only one or three pyeong of land?”
“How can I look around real estate?”
“Shall we go back together after the exam?”
When I said it playfully, Eunha smiled and replied.
“First of all, let’s study and think carefully. We still have plenty of time.”
“Yes! Then. Ah- I want to quickly become an adult with Gyul.”
“What do you want to do when you grow up?”
“Hmm- I want to do everything I can with Hankyul as an adult.”
“Yes. Then.”
There is still a long way until next year, but I wanted to quickly become an adult.
There are so many things I want to do.
kyaaaa softly
