55 – Episode 55
It’s vacation and we’re living our normal daily lives.
I wake up in the morning, wash, eat, talk to Seo-ah, eat, watch TV, play games, talk on the phone with friends, and then in the evening, my parents come and I eat with Seo-ah.
If I were to write this as a novel, it was such an ordinary time that I would run out of things to write about after just one or two episodes.
“hehehehe it’s tomorrow”

I put the auxiliary battery and water in my bag.
“Hmm.. Is there anything else I can take?”
“I forgot this”
Seo Ah gave sunscreen by her side.
“Ah, thank you”
“And I have to take him too.”
“But I should take Seo-ah too.”
It may seem surprising, but I have learned a lot over the years, and one of them is that no matter what happens, Seo-ah will be fine as long as I am by her side.
“hehehe, where are you this time?”
“If there is an event selling goods in Ilsan, I will go there.”
Before meeting Seo-ah, she was a person who played games and read animation web novels, and she valued those things more than dating.
Now that I’m an adult and working at a company, I can’t do a proper job, so I only go and look around briefly when I have time. But after having Seo-ah, she didn’t have time for my hobbies because she spent all her time dating Seo-ah.
“It reminds me of the old days, right?”
“Oh.. I was really surprised at that time.”
I looked at Seo-ah while thinking about that time.
“hehehe, you liked it too, right?”
“Well, it was good, no, there’s no way it was bad in the first place.”
She cosplayed for me
[So… Are you busy tomorrow?]
[Yeah… Sorry, I have a place I need to go urgently tomorrow]
I felt uneasy while sending Ms. Seo her message.
[Is this company work?]
[Oh, that’s not… It’s a bit of a personal matter]
Well, buying goods is a personal thing in a way.
I spoke and prepared as if I couldn’t say anything, but
[Well… If it’s difficult for you, I’ll help you]
[I can do this because I am always supported and helped by Jihoon]
“Uh..”
No, I just want to hide my hobby in a normal way?!
I didn’t know what to do with the difficult answer.
Tiriri
“Oh.. That.. Phone”
I received a call from Seo-ah.
“Hello?”
“Ah.. Hello Jihoon”
“Uh.. That hello”
“Maybe I was worried for no reason?”
Seo-ah suddenly asked that question.
The reason is, of course, that I can’t make it tomorrow.
“Well.. Sorry, I had a schedule.”
“Is that so? I was worried that I might be too bothersome.”
“Oh…No! “It’s not bothersome at all.”
Rather, I am in a situation where I am feeling sorry for Seo-ah, but she actually spoke in a tone that made it sound like she was feeling sorry for herself.
“Well.. When I heard that I had a personal appointment tomorrow.. I suddenly thought that I didn’t want to meet or something like that.”
“Ah..”
“Oh…No, I’m just going to the event venue. That’s why I can’t meet you.”
I told the truth because I didn’t want to worry Seo-ah anymore.
“Ah.. Then.. I can’t go to that event?”
“..Yes?”
“If it was an event venue, I thought I could go in with just a ticket. So I wanted to go with that.”
“Uh… But it’s the kind of place that Seo-ah isn’t really interested in.”
She sometimes liked women, but that was only a minority.
In the first place, there was no way that a busy modern person like Seo-ah would know or like this kind of thing.
“No! Jihoon likes her, so I’m going to check it out too.”
“Uh.. That?”
“Yes! What kind of event venue is this?”
Bill… She doesn’t want to take a popular and pretty employee to a place like that.
“It’s just… A place about pictures.”
I didn’t lie. Actually, products like goods are drawn by artists themselves.
“Is that so?”
“Then I’m even more curious. What kind of picture would you like?”
…
“Is it okay if I follow you?”
“Uh..”
“If it seems like a nuisance, I will stay.”
That pricked my heart even more.
“…Okay, you can follow me, but… No matter what happens, you can’t say you don’t like me.”
“Yes..? Umm.. Yes”
So we arrived at the event venue with Seo-ah.
“Wow! “There are a lot of people.”
“Really?”
We’re still awkward, so we use a mix of formal and formal language, but there hasn’t been much inconvenience.
“Is this place always open?”
“No, that’s not true, but it’s held about two or three times a year.”
“Aha! “Seeing everyone walking around smiling makes me feel good. Does everyone think this event is fun?”
Yeah… Well, that’s right.
I walked to a place where there were less people, but anyway, when I got to the ticket checking area, there were people I couldn’t help but see.
“Huh? “The people over there have unusual clothes. Is this the event concept?”
A woman wearing knightly armor was being photographed by people
“Uh..Well, I’m just playing a game or following a character like that.”
“Aha, so this is the gaming event venue?”
“Uh… That’s not it, it’s just an event venue where animation and cartoon characters are sold and viewed.”
I said I thought it would be better to tell the truth rather than having them follow me all the way here and not saying anything properly.
“Oh, I know, it’s like that pirate cartoon in Japan, right?”
I entered the venue with a little more nervousness as Seo-Ah mentioned an animation that even ordinary people have seen at least once.
There were a lot of people and a few cosplayers visible among them.
“Well… Actually, everyone here dresses like this because they like the character.”
“Ugh.. That Jihoon”
“…Yes”
I prepared my mind a little. I was a little worried about what I would hear, and I looked at Seo-ah and said…
“Jihoon, do you have a favorite character?”
“Yes?”
“Jihoon, it seems like everyone has a favorite character?”
“Uh.. That’s um”
I thought it would be better to show rather than tell, so I took out my phone and sent the character.
“Well, wait a minute.”
Seo Ah touched her cell phone for a moment and began to look at something about her.
“We’re done, Jihoon. How long will this place be open?”
“..Huh?”
Why suddenly..
“It’s open until tomorrow..”
“Hmm.. I think it will be close.”
“Uh.. What is it?”
“hehehe, I’ll tell you about that tomorrow. First, could you please introduce yourself here?”
I couldn’t ask what she was thinking and just guided Seo-ah.
I told you about each and every character in the various booths, from my favorite characters to the ones I just knew.
“Really? “What about the story?”
“Uh.. That”
“What is it?”
“That harem… no, it’s an animation where you date multiple people.”
“..Several people?”
“That’s the original animation. It’s better to have a lot of female protagonists. That’s the mindset.”
“Huh.. How are you, Jihoon?”
“What..What is it?”
“Do you like dating multiple people?”
“Oh no!? Absolutely. I just read it because it’s a novel.”
“Right?”
I saw the event venue with Seo-ah and left shortly after.
“Is it okay if I don’t look around anymore?”
“Yes, I didn’t really want anything.”
Actually, there were a lot, but I held back.
“Is that so?”
“Yes, we met like this, but now I do what Seo-ah wants.”
“My..Me?”
“Yes, I did what I wanted to do today.”
Seo Ah thought for a moment and held out her hand.
“Let’s start by holding hands.”
“…”
Seo-ah and I walked away with slightly red faces.
“Namsan Tower?”
“Yes”
Seo-ah and I said we wanted to go to other places since we had already come this far, so we went to Namsan Tower.
“I’ve arrived”
“Yes!”
Seo-ah looked so excited that she held my hand and went to the cable car.
“Two adults”
Seo-ah sitting in the cable car and looking outside
“Has Seo-ah been here?”
“Here? No, this is my first time.”
“Is that so?”
I thought I would have come at least once, but I guess I didn’t.
“Originally, I had no intention of doing it for the rest of my life, but after Jihoon was born, something I really wanted to do came to be.”
This is something I definitely want to do at Namsan Tower.
I looked at Seo-ah, and she looked at Namsan Tower with an expectant expression.
“Jihoon, hurry up.”
Seo-ah went ahead first, holding her lock in one hand.
“It’s fascinating…”
She was smarter than everyone else, but she didn’t know much about the world.
I didn’t know anything about where people were talking or what people were talking about.
Just a blank page
That day, when she was drinking with Seo-ah and the two of them became close, and the stories she sometimes told me, I felt like a newborn who knew nothing about Seo-ah.
“Is that why?”
When I went to such otaku events, everyone didn’t look at me favorably.
Of course, things have improved a lot now, so people don’t look at it negatively, but there are still people who ask why they see things like that.
So I was a little afraid. What if Seo-ah doesn’t like it?
But that was unfounded
“Jihoon, what should I write here?”
“Hmm..”
There were so many things she didn’t know yet, and she learned them all from me.
“I think it would be better to write ‘We will be happily ever after'”
“What is that? It’s kind of boring.”
I smiled slightly and said
“I think something ordinary like that is better for you.”
“Really?”
Seo-ah smiled brightly and liked what I said.
We ended the day by climbing Namsan Tower and looking around other places, and the next day.
“Uh… Seo… Seo-ah? “What is that?”
“Uh… How do you feel? Do I look like that character?”
In front of me was my favorite girlfriend and character.
