096. It’s already ruined…

“Bam bap bap bap!”

Doa hums the beat with her mouth and spreads her fingers to the fullest.

Was there any old stress?

Doa’s small hands were playing the rhythm game machine as hard as they could.

I am watching the scene from behind.

When the song ended, Doa turned her head towards me.

“…What games don’t you play?”

“Uh… I just want to look around.”

It would have been nice to do something like visiting an arcade, but it didn’t seem like a rhythm game.

She is a stagnant water.

I am an ordinary person.

I thought it would be a bit difficult for the two of us to enjoy it together.

“It’s okay to use easy mode!”

Doah seemed to be aware of my concerns and suggested it again, but she did not change my opinion.

“No. “You do it.”

If rhythm games and VR games have something in common, it is that they look quite ugly to a third party.

People may be so absorbed in it that it’s fun and cool, but from afar, it’s a comedy.

It even had the effect of making it look funnier if you couldn’t do it in the meantime.

Doa, who is not very tall, cleared her next song by lifting her shoulders.

When the S rank appeared on the ending screen, I applauded because it seemed like a good thing.

“You’re good!”

“…Are you kidding me?”

It’s S rank. What are you kidding me about?

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Is this the song you did a full combo on?”

There is no way I would know that. Luca.

I was willing to wait behind her if I put in another coin, but Doa said that was enough and led me outside.

“Did you say marathon soup?”

Today, Doa has two requests for a date.

Maratang and arcade.

I was slowly feeling hungry and checked the time.

“Yes. “I think it would be a good idea to go now, right?”

“Do you know any restaurants around here?”

“I have to walk a bit, is that okay?”

I, who had no problem with just walking, readily accepted her offer.

We left the restaurant area we usually frequent and started walking towards a new area.

“…Is there really a store if you go this way?”

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be near a residential area.

“It’s originally like this, but you know that this hidden place is a really good restaurant.”

“Is that so?”

“But this malatang restaurant is quite famous among the students at our school.”

My girlfriend with a puzzled face looked up at me.

“Have you not been there?”

Look here. Ms. Kim Do-ah.

Are you doing this to me on purpose?

Why do you say something like that when you clearly know it’s a joke?

“…Too much to eat alone.”

Once you get used to eating alone, there are many menu items that you naturally avoid.

Foods that are generally eaten by two or more people, such as malatang or budae stew, are disqualified from being candidates.

It was the same when ordering delivery.

“Do you like it?”

“Um… Just like that?”

Actually, I’ve only tried it once, so it’s hard to give a review.

Because he ate with his senior in the military, there was a high probability that he did not know whether the food was going into his mouth or nose.

“I’ll make it absolutely delicious!”

She smiled and grabbed my hand and pushed the glass door open with her other hand.

“Welcome.”

Inside the not-so-big store.

After taking off my coat, I was ready to put the toppings with Doa.

“Is there anything you don’t eat?”

In response to Doa’s question as she picked up the tongs, I scanned the stand.

“It’s okay as long as it’s not green.”

“…Bok choy?”

“Yes.”

Doa’s eyebrows twitched.

“Is this delicious?”

I burst out laughing at her gesture, like a hamster trying to protect her food.

“Ah. If you want to put it in, put it in. “All you have to do is eat it.”

“But I don’t know if I’m allergic or not…”

“Is there anyone allergic to bok choy?”

I thought there might be something there, but I’ve never actually encountered it.

“Then I’ll just put it in for now. If you have anything else you want to add, just tell me?”

With those words, Doa busily moved her tongs and placed her food.

Heaps of bean sprouts and vermicelli.

I wondered if I could eat all of this in a larger amount than I expected, but Doa persuaded me, saying that boiling it would reduce its volume.

“Ah. “I think it’ll be really delicious!”

Doa smiles brightly and happily even before the food comes out.

“If you say it that way, that’s probably what it is.”

“Yes, yes. “It’s so delicious here, so trust me and try it.”

Perhaps because there were not many customers, cooking did not take as long as expected.

Bright red soup in a black bowl.

It was a color that made me think that if lava flowed in hell, it would be that color.

“Ah.”

Doa picked up a piece of meat dripping with soup and held out her chopsticks toward my mouth.

It was quite embarrassing for other people to see this, so I acted as quickly as possible.

Moving like an eagle aiming for its prey.

“No one will steal it. “You can eat it slowly.”

“Just.”

Her mouth was mumbling and she was chewing the meat.

“How do you feel?”

“I think it’s okay.”

I should say that the aftertaste was a bit bitter and my tongue felt numb, but overall I thought it had a great taste.

“Right! The vermicelli and sujebi are delicious too. “Eat quickly.”

We each took our share in small bowls and started eating properly. We were silent for a while.

“That double date thing.”

“Yes.”

I wondered when I would finish eating the bowl, but before I knew it, it was on the verge of running out.

“Are you saying we’ll do it on the 30th?”

From noble mtl dot com

“If it’s Tuesday, right?”

“Where do you do it?”

“They said they would like to meet at Korea University?”

It’s a complete city.

Young people’s street.

A space overflowing with clubs and entertainment.

It was also called the sanctuary of various personal gram photos.

“What are you doing?”

A date is when two people in a relationship have a good time.

If two strangers get involved, isn’t there a high probability that it won’t be fun?

Why do I have to create an uncomfortable situation?

I thought that no matter what we did, there was a higher chance that it would be boring than if we were together.

“Um… It’s not confirmed yet, so what? “I heard you wanted to go to an escape room cafe like this?”

“Escape room… Um…”

It was a place I wondered if I would ever visit in my lifetime.

A lot of people usually go in groups.

Besides that, I wasn’t really good at mystery stories.

The character I always believed in was actually the culprit, and the people I suspected were all innocent victims.

“…Are you okay?”

As I held the spoon in silence, Doa looked at me as if I was getting nervous.

“Ah. Huh. “Because I agreed to go.”

“I’m glad. Flaw. “Then, shall I tell Muringi to schedule a proper time?”

“Okay.”

But still, one person out of four is probably smart.

Of course, when I saw Luca playing the game, I thought he wouldn’t be able to become a great detective, but wouldn’t the other two be a bit better?

It was because I knew Humuring was better at games than Luca.

After sending the text message and putting down her phone on the table, Doa grabbed my hand.

“Let’s have fun that day!”

* * *

In front of Hankook University subway station on the 30th.

The weather is clear.

There was not a single cloud and the sun was warm, but every time the wind blew, we had to close our coats more tightly.

“Shall we call Muringi?”

Even though it was just past 1 o’clock, the appointed time, the couple did not show up.

“If you don’t come after about 5 minutes, let’s do it.”

Today was an unusual day when Doa personally chose my clothes and put them on.

Of course, these were clothes I pulled out of my closet, so they weren’t anything very unique, but they made me feel stronger than usual.

I don’t usually wear shoes like loafers like these.

Wearing black sneakers felt the most comfortable in the world.

That was the moment when Doa took out her cell phone after seeing their invisible appearance.

“Doa unnie!”

A voice that became familiar due to the unintentional merger.

Both Doa and I instinctively turned our bodies toward the direction from which we heard the sound.

“Ah, sorry~ I’m late~~”

The youngest member of Closer, who falls into the arms of Doa, whom she meets for the first time. Humoring.

But what about her visuals…

The belly button is barely visible through the open padding.

A black leather skirt sat over her boots that reached almost her knees.

Even his height was considerably taller than Doa.

“Ah. Muringi. Hi?”

Doa also had a Luca-like tone rather than her usual voice, probably because she was unfamiliar with her real life.

“No! Sister! “Here, I have to say Gahi!”

“Ah… I’m sorry… Kahi…”

Is that really the visual of the girl who is called the cutie youngest among Closer fans?

She even has a piercing in the middle of her lip…

I thought that Humoring fans would probably be shocked by the conflicting images when they see this.

“Ah! Hang in! Hello~”

The man who appears next to Humuling puts his hand on my shoulder.

Why are you touching?

Why are you touching me? You bastard!

What do you know about me?

But this is ultimately just a cry from deep inside my heart.

I couldn’t help but feel quite intimidated by the tattoo visible on the inside of my wrist.

This man is wearing something similar to a rapper.

There were a lot of accessories that we couldn’t find in our house.

Two rings on my hands.

It looks like he’s wearing a bracelet too.

He was wearing very flashy-looking basketball shoes, so it felt like he was at the opposite end of the spectrum from me.

“I heard a lot about it~ hahahaha”

I awkwardly nodded my head as I saw him smiling brightly.

Doah and I made eye contact for a moment.

Isn’t it said that a lover can tell what a person is thinking just by looking at their facial expressions?

It’s already going to be a rough day.

We have been feeling it since this sunny afternoon.
