309 – EP.11 The End of a Long Puberty-1
***
“Are you not feeling well?”
Kang In-ho returned to her house after his strange meeting with Crown and made dinner.
I put in some special effort today for Seong-ah, who is probably getting more and more tired from preparing for the college entrance exam.
Although she didn’t have much trouble cooking due to her cooking experience, she lived by rotating several types of food, as is the case with most men.
Because the number of foods that could be cooked was significantly limited, I tried to make it as diverse as possible, but I was only able to provide a little variation and could not produce dramatic results.
To make up for that weakness, she looked at cookbooks in her spare time, and today’s dinner was the result.
But a problem arose.
She served her food according to her tastes, but for some reason, the other person’s reaction was not so good.
He thought he didn’t like the food, but seeing as his expression was tense from the moment he entered the house, he thought something must have happened outside.
“It’s okay. Let’s eat.”
She showed a weak smile.
– Clatter rattle rattle rattle
The sound of the spoon hitting the rice bowl filled the table.
He followed her and started eating her meal, scooping a spoonful of rice into her mouth.
“What happened at school?”
I asked, looking at her secretly.
“No, nothing happened.”
“I don’t think so. His face is stiff.”
“Ah…”
Kim Seong-ah touched her face with her free hand and smiled awkwardly.
Kang In-ho’s eyes narrowed.
“Are you having a hard time studying?”
This is a child who has hardly ever studied.
He thought that the time had come when studying would become difficult and boring.

“It’s not really because of my grades. It’s just because my condition suddenly got worse.”
“Really? I need to take care of my condition as well.”
“That’s right. The CSAT is coming soon.”
The two men and women are engrossed in eating again. Kang In-ho must have been bothered by the conversation just now, and cleared his throat twice.
At his signal, Kim Seong-ah’s eyes turned to him. I saw his face with an apologetic expression.
“…Is this too much nagging the test taker?”
“Pfft, I said everything I wanted to say, so what are you worried about? I don’t feel bad, so don’t worry.”
“Then that’s good. How about the food?”
Kang In-ho raised the tone of his voice as he seemed to have regained the previous dining atmosphere.
“It’s always delicious. I guess you found a new recipe?”
“I used some strength.”
“What is it?”
As Kang In-ho puffed out his chest and looked proud, Kim Seong-ah laughed.
Then a cloud appears over my face again.
Kang In-ho just kept an eye on those subtle changes.
“Mister.”
Kim Seong-ah, who had already eaten half of the food, called him out.
“Huh?”
“Um… No.”
“What is it?”
“Is there some kind of secret you’re hiding from me?”
I take a quick look at his thoughts.
“Of course there is. You’re going to be there too, right?”
“I don’t have a secret that I’m worried about getting discovered. At best, I like you, but that’s not a secret anymore.”
“When you say that, I have nothing to say.”
He smiled sheepishly and took another drink.
She looked closely at his face and hands.
“…….”
There is no specific reaction.
But that did not serve as evidence that would resolve all of her doubts.
She sighed inwardly.
“It was a good meal.”
I put down my chopsticks and stand up.
“Aren’t you going to eat any more?”
He asked when he saw about 1/3 of the rice left.
“It’s because I’m not feeling well. It’s not because it doesn’t taste good, so don’t worry too much.”
“Okay. If you’re having a hard time, just tell me.”
“Okay. I’ll study for a bit and then go to sleep.”
Not listening to his answer, Kim Seong-ah walked up the stairs with great strides.
– Boom
The sound of a door closing was heard from afar, and he said, looking at the still large amount of leftover food.
“Oh, I have to eat all of this.”
He thought he might overeat a little today.

Kim Seong-ah was lying on the bed, his head was dizzy and his heart was pounding.
It felt like the conversation between Crown and Kang In-ho was still playing in my ears.
“Mister… What the hell….”
When I look at his face, I smile for no reason.
Time passes quickly when you talk to him.
When you eat with him, even the simple side dishes are delicious.
When I smell his scent, my mind becomes dizzy and my heart races.
It’s the same today.
Her feelings toward him remained the same even after seeing that scene full of questions.
That’s why it’s painful.
“Mister.”
She fears that this happy time that he is giving her is actually a trap set by her evil group.
“Please… Please… Not.”
She prayed to a star.
Now I couldn’t go back to my daily life without him.
So I sincerely hope that it is not the worst case she thinks.
“If… If it’s true… If he’s deceiving me…”
What should I do?
She herself could feel her heart breaking little by little.
