5 – Episode 5: Mac…No Coke!

“No. It is always better to go for dual RAM. I heard that basic coolers are coming out well these days, but since air cooling is not very expensive, I think it would be better to invest in them. And personally, I tend to spend a little more power when setting up my computer. You may want to change the graphics card later. However, this is just my subjective estimate. I think you should ask other people as well. Oh, but these days, there are many complete bodies with good prices, so check it out!”

After hanging up the phone, I returned the phone to Eunha.
“I’m sorry. Did my brother get you in trouble? I’ll go home and get it right.”
“Huh? No! Personally, I enjoy making computer estimates.”
With this, yesterday’s awkwardness seems to have disappeared.
The corner of Eunha’s mouth went up slightly when she received the cell phone.
“Huh…? My brother sent me a gift coupon to eat with you.”
“Oh really? You don’t have to show me.”
Oh- nice.
He’s a man with occasions.
“Hey… when shall we eat?”
“Huh? I don’t mind any time.”
“Isn’t there such a thing as an academy?”
“Huh?”
Come to think of it… You know the academy?
I’m sure you’re not skipping it, are you?
“If you are busy, can you tell me again later?”
“No! I’m free! How are you after school today?”
“Today?”
“Yes. Today.”
I was so happy that I had a dinner date with Eunha, so I ended up smirking throughout class.
It is a pleasant youth.
It was quite different from my youth when I only studied what I didn’t want to do.
Maybe it is only now that I have achieved the life I always dreamed of in high school.
Ha- High school life at the age of twenty-seven.
You should enjoy it while you can.
“Okay, take a seat and hand out the application form, so submit it by tomorrow.”
“Yes~”
What I got in my hand during the morning ordinance was not a document, but an application for night self-study.
“Is the galaxy a palm tree?”
“I’m still thinking about it. I want to sleep, but I don’t like eating dinner alone.”
When I was in 1st and 2nd grade, Seoha Kang and Dolphin ate Eunha every time.
Then you can eat with me, right? No, i would rather
“Oh really? Would you like to eat with me?”
“Huh? Are you going to sleep?”
“I don’t know much about palm trees, but I want to eat dinner. If you say the galaxy palm, should I do that too?”
“Then it’s me, thank you… I sleep only on Thursdays and Fridays. Do you want to?”
“Why don’t you do Monday-Tuesday water?”
“I just want to go home quickly on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and Thursdays and Fridays are weekends, right?”
What is that cute idea?
But I can understand something.
I also used to work overtime just before the weekend.
“Then I have to apply for a job on Thursday and Friday too.”
“Ah- you don’t have to go that far because of me.”
“Huh? No. I have to study too.”
Ah- Is this too much?
I checked Eunha’s expression for a moment, but it wasn’t a strange one.
“Good.”
Rather, seeing the smiling Eunha made my heart throb.
I never thought I would be so happy to apply for nighttime self-study.
I lightly signed the signature line.
“Does Hangyul have an autograph?”
“Uh..?! Oh, how come?”
“It’s amazing… ! It’s like an office worker!”
Hard to believe, but it is.
But I’ll have to be careful next time.
“Something cool.”
My face instantly turned red when I heard from Eunha that he was cool.
Eunha too was surprised by the words she had uttered, and her eyes widened.
After a few seconds of silence, the spiral galaxy waved his hand in the air and protested.
“Ah- no! So that sign! Usually high school students don’t have autographs like this, so I thought it was cool!”
I’m curious. Am I approaching Eunha properly?
But now, when I see you panicking like this, something seems to be alright.
If I approach you little by little like this, will Eunha stay by my side?

After school, I headed straight to a chicken restaurant.
It was an early dinner, but it was okay because I ate a little lunch.
“What would you like to drink?”
“Huh? Yea of course… ! I’ll have a Coke!”
Phew – I almost said it was beer for a moment.
If you wear a school uniform and say beer, you’ll get kicked out, right?
It was really dangerous.
I almost got into trouble.
I almost lost all the images I had built up until now.
Stay calm.
I am a high school student.
I am a high school student.
“Poop-! If I had ordered cider, I would have been in big trouble.”
“Oh, no. I also like cider, but chicken and colaji..Cola!”
“Right. I like Coke more than cider.”
“Really? We have a lot in common.”
“Really? Even though I haven’t seen him very much, Han Kyul is kind of friendly.”
I was ashamed of myself for feeling flutter at the word “Friendly.”
But if you say it with that kind of expression, it’s sure to make anyone’s heart flutter.
Ha- I was a little anxious that my heart would suddenly spill out.
“I’m sorry I said something strange yesterday.”
“Huh? What?”
“I mean, do you know about the relationship between me and Seoha and Jeongyeon?”
“Ah-“
I’m not going to say it’s strange.
“We went together in 1st and 2nd grade, but that… Due to unavoidable circumstances, it has become a situation where we have to keep a little distance. Ah-! Didn’t fight! Seoha and Jeongyeon are very nice kids and they are precious friends to me.”
Before the chicken was served, Eun-ha briefly talked about the two of them.
“Yesterday, I felt that Han Kyul was taking care of me. She seemed to look away from me in the cafeteria, and seemed considerate when I ran into two people in the hallway, so I wondered if Han Kyul knew about my situation. It can’t be. hahahaha.”
Although he said it with a smile, he felt bittersweet somewhere.
But there is no need to ask why here.
I just need to organize my mind and jump into the organized mind.
But my desire to be a little faster must be greed.
From now on, I decided to act a little more carefully.
“I see. It wasn’t my intention, but I’m glad you were taken care of.”
“It may not have been my intention, but thank you. I’ll just be honest from the start.”
“A- It’s difficult. How do you say something like this to someone you met for the first time yesterday?”
After I finished talking, I took a sip of cola.
“The more I see Hangyul, the more mature I become. I can’t believe I’m the same age as her.”
“Yes… ? In what way did you feel that way?”
“Um… It’s not all like that though. You usually wonder when you talk about this, right? I don’t think Han Kyul is like that at all.”
“Is that so? It’s not that Eunha is indifferent to you. It just doesn’t seem like you want to talk.”
“Wow… Han Kyul is pretty quick-witted, isn’t he?”
“Actually, I do some mind reading.”
“hahahaha! What is it!”
Chicken was placed on the table while Eunha and I were laughing and chatting.
I took the chicken off the plate and quietly focused on the chicken.
We didn’t really talk when we ate.
I just quietly ate chicken and filled Eunha’s cup with cola.
Whenever that happened, Eunha laughed bashfully with chicken in her mouth.
I just nodded my head to express my gratitude.
Mumbling is so cute I’m dying.
“Eunha. You eat well.”
“Huh? Oh no! How come!”
The galaxy hurriedly covered its mouth.
“Don’t look at me because it’s embarrassing…”
“Keuk- I understand. Eat yourself.”
I can see why people watch mukbangs, really.
After eating the chicken, I finished paying and left the store.
It was a cold day, but the sunset was pretty.
“Where is Hangyul’s house?”
“Me? I am Blue Village.
“Really? I am Hope Village. Would you like to go with me until the middle?”
“I’m full, so let’s walk slowly.”
“Yes.”
I started walking with Eunha at her feet.
Slowing down a bit, I wanted to talk to Eunha a little more.
I already know most of Eunha, but I wanted to hear her voice.
“What does Eunha usually do on weekends?”
“Me? I have tutoring on weekend mornings.”
“Then I won’t be able to sleep in on the weekend.”
“Ah- that can’t be. Am I going to sleep late too?”
“What time do you get up on the weekend?”
“Eight? Get up before nine.”
“Wherever you look at that, you overslept..?”
“hahahaha! Is it? I wake up later than usual.”
What a sincere kid.
I feel guilty for waking up in the afternoon every weekend.
“Hangyeol? Do you go out and play with your friends on the weekend?”
“What? Not that active. It’s hard to play basketball or soccer without school.”

“Really? So what do you usually do? Game?”
What have I been doing?
I hate to say that I just roll around looking at my phone.
“Did you just watch a movie? Mainly watch movies.”
“What genre do you like?”
“Drama? I like thrillers, but I won’t watch them if they’re too brutal.”
“I like movies too. I was going to see it opening this week.”
“Oh really? Are you going to see it with your family?”
“Huh? No. Are you going alone?”
In this situation, it would be a little like going to see it together, right?
It would be better if you take a little more time and put it into it.
This time hold. Let’s think about it after we get to know each other better.
“What? Isn’t Han Kyul supposed to go that way?”
“Ah! Is that so?”
It was quite a distance, but time passed quickly because I was with Eunha.
After all, Einstein’s theory of relativity is correct.
It’s a pity, but I’m saying goodbye here today.
“I will go here. Go carefully Don’t go after people you don’t know.”
“hahahaha! What is it! I’m not some eight-year-old kid.”
“If I told you to give me something delicious, would you follow me?”
“If it’s beef, it might be a bit tough.”
“Kkeuk-! No. No. Anyway, see you at school tomorrow?”
“Yes. Hangyul, go carefully.”
The day ended with a handshake with Eunha.
Shall I go see a movie on the weekend too? What do you see?
I wonder what a movie released in a novel would be like.
“Then, if you run into Eunha, it’s really destiny.”
I laughed for the first time in a long time on my way back home.
