After Yoo Seo-Eun washed up, it was my turn to take a shower.
As I was washing every inch of my body with a towel, I had a sudden thought.
"I think my breasts have gotten a little bigger."
Lately, my underwear has felt a little tight. I wondered if I'd gained weight, but my belly fat hasn't changed.
In other words, my breasts have gotten bigger.
"They're still growing at this age?"
Usually, your body stops growing in high school. I'm still on the younger side, so maybe they can still get bigger?
I don't know much about girls' bodies.
"...Should I order a new size online again?"
I didn't feel very good about my breasts because there was honestly nothing good about them.
I know most won take pride in their breast size, but I don't understand that notion. It's only been a bother to .
After I got out of the shower, I got dressed and dried my hair. Normally, I would have dried myself naked and then put on my clothes, but with Seo-Eun here, I couldn't.
I guess it's okay for girls to get naked around each other, but to be honest, I'm embarrassed to show my body to others, which is not like .
"Seo-Eun, do you want a beer?"
I asked Yoo Seo-Eun, who was sitting on the living room couch watching TV, as I finished drying my hair.
I had already taken a can of beer out of the fridge for myself.
"I told you to cut back on the alcohol."
"It's only one can; I'll drink just this. How about you?"
I handed the chilled beer to Yoo Seo-Eun, who imdiately took it.
"Yeah. I've been missing beer, too."
We drank beer and watched Netflix dramas. Yoo Seo-Eun said she didn't know what to watch first because there were so many interesting ones.
I recomnded a moderately interesting drama, and we were sipping our beers when I got a call.
It was from Jung Ha-Yeon.
"Yes, Ms. Ha-Yeon. What's up?"
[Ms. Hye-Rim, can you tell where you live?]
"......?"
I pick up the phone, wondering what's going on, and she imdiately asks for my ho address.
I wondered if I had misheard her, so I asked her again and she explained.
[I received a gift of snow crab from soone I know this ti, and the amount was too much, so I thought it would be good to share it with both of you since Hye-Rim lives with Seo-Eun now.]
"Oh, I see, you don't have to do that..."
[I usually receive a lot of things from Hye-Rim, so if sothing like this happens, I should share it with you].
I thanked her and gave her my address.
There's no reason not to accept sothing delicious. I was planning to have Yoo Seo-Eun's cooking for dinner tomorrow, but it looks like I'll just have stead snow crab.
"Thank you, Mr. Ha-Yeon. I'll eat well with Seo-Eun."
[I'm more grateful that you'll eat it well, but... Ms. Hye-Rim, you must have gotten quite close to Ms. Seo-Eun, because you're comfortable calling her casually.]
"What? Well... I guess so?"
I thanked her and was about to hang up the phone when Jung Ha-Yeon asked another question.
[Ms. Hye-Rim's age is 23, isn't it? I'm also 23, so can you talk casually to , too?]
"I can, but...so suddenly?"
[It's not sudden, Ms. Hye-Rim and I have known each other for a while, so it's not strange if you speak to informally.]
'So, would you feel comfortable calling by my first na?'
What is this? I wonder if she's always been like this. She didn't care how anyone called her or treated her.
"Okay... Ha-Yeon, can I call you that?"
[......]
I did what she wanted, but she didn't answer.
I wondered if she didn't hear , so I called her again.
"Ha-Yeon?"
[...Oh, yes. Ms. Hye-Rim, I think it would be nice if you could call that from now on. Rather, this is better.]
"You said this is comfortable, Ha-Yeon, but you're still addressing respectfully, aren't you?"
[That...my heart is not ready for it yet.]
"...?"
I don't know what she's saying, but it sounds like she's still going to talk to respectfully.
It didn't really matter, so I just let her call whatever she felt comfortable with.
[Anyway, please eat well with Ms. Seo-Eun, and by the way, can I visit Ms. Hye-Rim's house soti soon?]
Jung Ha-Yeon said that she would like to visit with Lee Yoon-Seo, and from the sound of it, Lee Yoon-Seo really wanted to see .
She asked what I wanted as a gift while visiting, but I told her it didn't matter.
I could have refused, but they seed to feel more comfortable if they were able to bring one.
[Okay. I'll see you soon.]
"Yeah, okay, see you then."
After I ended the call and hung up the phone, Yoo Seo-Eun, who had been looking at from the side, asked.
"Did that silver-haired hero call you?"
"Yes. She wanted to send us so snow crab."
"Snow crab? That sounds delicious!"
Yoo Seo-Eun's eyes lit up at the thought of eating snow crab.
"And she said she'd co to my house soon?"
"...Ah."
Yoo Seo-Eun's excited face quickly turned sour.
"I think I know why she wants to co. I think it's because of ..."
"What do you an, because of you?"
"No, I an... Sigh. Never mind. It's better for you to not know, Hye-Rim."
"...What do you an?"
She keeps saying things I don't understand, so I ask her what she ans, but she doesn't explain and keeps muttering, "If I do sothing wrong, I could die...?"
What the hell is wrong with her?
After watching the drama, ti flew by, and it was almost 12 o'clock. It's ti to go to bed.
Yoo Seo-Eun and I went to our room. I lay down on the blanket that I had spread out on the floor earlier, and Yoo Seo-Eun lay down on the bed.
"Tomorrow, Hye-Rim, you can sleep in your bed. I'll sleep here only for tonight."
"I said it's fine. If it bothers you so much, we can take turns."
Yoo Seo-Eun looked at to see if I still thought she was stealing the bed. I told her it was okay, but it probably still bothers her.
I told her to go to sleep, and I closed my eyes imdiately. She didn't say anything and decided to go to sleep too.
But five minutes later, she spoke to again.
"...Hye-Rim, are you asleep?"
"I was just about to go to dreamland."
"I must have woken you up. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. What's wrong?"
I asked, sitting up and making eye contact with Yoo Seo-Eun, who was lying on the bed. After locking eyes with , she hesitantly rolled her eyes downward.
"I just... I just wanted to say thank you. Hye-Rim said that if it weren't for you, I'd still be hiding in the academy."
"I've heard enough thank yous; you don't have to."
With a chuckle, I flicked Yoo Seo-Eun in the forehead.
"Ouch!"
"If you say that too much, I'll bleed in my ears. I told you, you just need to decide how you're going to live your life."
"...Okay."
Rubbing her forehead, Yoo Seo-Eun laughed softly. Her face looks wistful, as if she's had a burst of emotion.
"Then I'll say this one last ti, and we won't talk about this anymore."
"What do you an?"
"Hye-Rim, you told to trust you with my life."
"I did."
"I trusted you because I had no other choice at the ti, but...I'm glad I trusted you with my life."
I'll give you all of .
After saying that, Yoo Seo-Eun closed her eyes, saying that she really wanted to sleep.
I looked down at her for a while without saying anything.
The next morning, I woke up to find Yoo Seo-Eun sleeping soundly.
She slept so sweetly once she started sleeping. As if she had slept peacefully for the first ti in years, she didn't wake up when I called her.
I grabbed her shoulders and shook her a few tis, and she finally opened her eyes and looked at .
"Mm....Is it morning already?"
"Yeah. We have to get ready for work."
"Mmm..."
Yoo Seo-Eun stretched her upper body and rubbed her eyes. She still looks like she hasn't woken up and could go back to sleep at any mont.
"This bed is so comfortable. I should get this one next ti I buy a bed."
"It's really good, isn't it? It's worth the money."
"How much did it cost?"
"A little over a million won."
"M-million?"
Yoo Seo-Eun's eyes widened in surprise when she heard the amount. She must have woken up.
"Even if I make money, can I buy this right away?"
"You'll just have to pay it in installnts. Now, get up and get cleaned up."
After getting ready for work and a quick breakfast, we headed straight to the Association.
When we arrived at the office, Park Oh-Jin, who always arrives early, greeted and Yoo Seo-Eun, followed by Lee So-Young and Shin Yu-Sung.
"Now that everyone is here, I'll tell you what we're going to do today. Today, we're going to catch the villains who dared to challenge ."
Normally, our job is to suppress villains after they appear. However, on rare occasions, if we can infer the location of a villain's organization, we may attack them first.
Today, I'm going to wipe out the villainous organization that threatened to take down yesterday.
It's sothing the five of us have always done, but it's Yoo Seo-Eun's first ti. When Yoo Seo-Eun hears that we're going to take down the villains, she looks a little nervous.
"So-Young, did you find their hideout?"
"Yes. I tracked down one of the villains who went on a rampage yesterday by pretending to miss them on purpose."
So-Young has the ability to track the Awakened.
After a stealthy chase, she had already identified the villains' hideout.
"Good, now I'll explain how we're going to capture them."
I raised my index finger as I spoke.
"First, we'll go to this hideout that So-Young found."
I raised my middle finger next.
"Second, we're going to collapse the whole place and take it down."
"...Huh?"
At that, Yoo Seo-Eun tilted her head.
