1.

Seung-gi’s neighborhood was definitely uncomfortable.

How can it be so gloomy and eerie from the entrance of the neighborhood?

Despite the sunny weather, this neighborhood has a lot of melancholy.

Sometimes the word “Kunning City” Comes to mind.

It might be rude to say such things in Seung-gi’s neighborhood, but Seung-gi isn’t someone who has to live in a place like this.

A kind person like that should live in a good environment.

Is there no such thing as a house left for mom?

If there is such a thing, it wouldn’t be bad to send Seung-gi there.

Or not. There is one spare room in our house that we use as a storage room, so from there… ….

No, this isn’t the time to be thinking about these trivial thoughts.

You acted rude yesterday, and today you’re thinking rude again.

… ….

But I think it would be really nice to live with Seunggi.

Eating together, going to school holding hands.

Mmm. Please. Stop it

Anyway, I continued walking towards Seung-gi’s house. After about 5 minutes, his villa started to come into view.

I stood near the villa and prepared myself.

Because I kept walking with bruises, I didn’t have the confidence to go in blindly to see the victory.

What should I say first when I run into Seung-gi?

How should I lead the conversation?

From noble mtl dot com

And by the way, my visit must have been quite sudden. Was it the right thing to do like this?

Since I was thinking about that, I started to worry again for no reason.

I’ve seen such articles on the Internet before.

A woman heard the news that a man she thought was a nice guy was sick, bought medicine and went to his house, but was kicked out.

The writer even cursed at me in the comments, asking why he forced himself to work when he was not ready to meet someone.

Isn’t that what I am?

Coming to think of it, if he was going to come like this, wouldn’t he have had to contact the school in advance?

Although it’s a bit awkward to contact Seung-gi first.

I walked around the side of the villa feeling such regret.

By the way, after a while, I heard a cat’s cry from somewhere.

When I turned my head, I saw a cat eating in a narrow space between the buildings.

Somehow, seeing cute creatures made me feel healed.

The memory of seeing a cat with Seung-gi in PE class in the past also came to my mind.

At that time, I think I just thought of him as an unusual guy. Our relationship, which was completely different from now, also came to mind.

I turned toward the cat.

A cute life is always right.

You should calm down a bit while playing with that friend, and prepare properly before going to meet Seung-gi.

The cat was eating human-made food from a human-given food bowl, and seemed surprisingly wary.

Seeing that, he covered his face and head with the hooded zip-up hat he was wearing.

My hair is yellow and long. It’s because he’s such a stranger to that friend.

Wouldn’t it be better to lower your vigilance by doing this?

Although it still looks a bit like an alien.

“Meow….Nyang….”

I imitated the sound of a cat and approached it. I was able to prove that my choice was right.

As expected, cats are gods.

I don’t think these guys have survived until now because of their cuteness rather than their ability to survive.

Peace began to come to my heart as I stroked that soft fur.

The body of a stray cat must be dirty, but…….

Because I have one wet tissue in my bag. I might as well use it for once.

By the way.

As I was petting the cat and playing, the wind blew and I could smell the acrid smell of cigarettes.

I instantly frowned.

Who else is making other people’s health worse by smoking like this?

I really hate smokers.

I furrowed my brow and slightly turned my head to the side.

… ….

I checked something and turned my head to the front again.

At the end of this space, in that corner, someone was standing.

Someone was smoking among the garbage bags and miscellaneous garbage.

Since when have you been there?

Even if it’s an alley between buildings. There’s so much garbage over there, so you’d have to pass me by all means to get in there, right?

Then…….

Did you already come in and see me?

Cigarette smoke, I guess I didn’t know because the wind was blowing in the opposite direction.

No. I even wore a hooded hat, so it must be a very suspicious visual.

I imitated a cat a lot, and even tried to talk to the cat in Korean.

I just muttered a little louder when the smell of cigarettes came in.

I only saw him briefly, but his visuals were not ordinary.

I think it was probably a man, but he was big.

The pockets were swollen as if something had been forced into them.

He had a cigarette in one hand and a bottle of soju in the other.

I got goosebumps.

If it hadn’t been for the bottle of soju, I would have mistaken it for a ghost.

Why are you standing there like that?

… ….

I was looking at the cat and slowly turned towards the entrance of the alley.

You shouldn’t associate with a crazy person.

From daylight. No, it’s five o’clock, but anyway.

There’s no way a person holding a soju bottle like that and smoking while the sun hasn’t even set can’t lead a normal life.

At a glance, his behavior is bizarre. Why do you smoke like that over there?

I turned my steps slowly like that.

Naturally, like someone who didn’t see anything, like parting with a cat because of something personal.

However, my perfect plan soon fell apart.

“Hey there.”

A voice that sounds like something boiling phlegm, yet sweet.

My hands in my pockets began to tremble.

I think this is f*cked up.

2.

I stuffed the things I bought at the convenience store into my pocket, and I didn’t think there was enough space to put a bottle of soju, so I just smoked while holding it in my hand.

I was smoking a cigarette when a strange person entered the alley.

Even wearing a hoodie’s hat wasn’t enough, so he had an alien-like visual as if he pulled the string of his hat.

Then I saw a stray cat over there meow meowing and trying to talk…….

The bag and pants were obviously student’s, but I couldn’t bear to pretend to be.

It was as if a properly insane person had entered the street.

I didn’t have the strength to fight a crazy person like last time because my physical condition was strange.

Fortunately, the wind was blowing away all the smell of cigarettes.

But what…….

Omit the intermediate process.

That person also noticed me.

After he noticed my presence, he made some shy gestures, but he didn’t seem crazy.

Looks like he was just a student who really liked cats.

The person looked at me and then slowly turned around and started to leave the alley.

If you think about it, my visuals must have been tough.

However, he saw the wallet fall out of the person’s pocket. I opened my mouth to return it.

The condition of his neck was terrible, but he managed to sing.

Maybe that person misunderstood me too, he stopped at my voice and moved his feet out of the alley again.

No, he’s not a weirdo.

I can’t believe it even when I see it.

I don’t hold a cigarette in my hand.

After picking up his wallet with the hand holding the soju bottle, I called the person.

“Hey. You dropped your wallet…”

“Ah…. Yes, yes…!”

I shuddered when I heard that answer.

I felt my instincts send me a warning.

I could feel that something was seriously wrong.

There’s no way I can’t understand this voice.

But, before I could do anything, she turned her body around.

As she took off her hood and her hat, I met her eyes as she approached me.

The cigarette I was holding in my hand fell to the floor.

3.

“Seung… Giya…?”

“…….”

I am a man in an alley.

A man with a strange visual who smoked while holding a bottle in one hand.

I met eyes with Seunggi.

The hand that received the wallet was trembling terribly.

I couldn’t even feel the smell of cigarettes wafting nearby.

We didn’t say anything.

I couldn’t.

They avoided looking at each other, and a frightening awkwardness settled down.

I unzipped the bag with trembling hands.

I took out the family correspondence that I had folded in half in my bag and held it out to Seung-gi.

“This…”

“Ah…, Yes…”

“Ugh…, You said you had to pay it by tomorrow… The teacher told you to bring it to you… So…”

“Uh… Thank you…”

“Ugh…”

Seung-gi’s voice was definitely strange.

If I had calmed down a little more, I would have doubted his health.

I didn’t have the mental capacity to do that.

Even standing upright now was a miracle.

What else was I going to do?

…… Face talk. I was going to apologize for peeping at Seung-gi’s shower scene while doing Face Talk.

No matter what happened now, it was right to hand over an apology quickly.

By the way. My mouth wouldn’t open.

My body was so stiff that I couldn’t even open my mouth.

The awkwardness continued.

Time passed without anyone opening their mouths.

Just like that, 30 seconds that felt like 30 minutes passed.

“Yeah… I-I’m going…”

“Uh… yes…”

I chose to evade again today.

It didn’t come until the word to see you tomorrow.
