Should I tell her?
About that little red spot on her white skin…
At first, I figured that she’d wipe it on her own as she ate, that was why I didn’t tell her about it… Guess I was wrong…
Even though I had been waiting for about three minutes, Doah didn’t show any sign of wiping her mouth, so I made up my mind.
“Doah.”
Wasn’t there a saying if you hate the heat, get out of the kitchen?
Since I was the only one bothered by sothing Doah found no trouble with, I should just deal with it.
It wasn’t like I was doing sothing bad or anything.
“Yes?”
“Wait.”
After pulling out so tissues, I wiped her mouth with my hand.
Ah! That felt so fucking good!
I felt a thrill of excitent as I felt the urge go away.
“Sorry. It’s been bothering since earlier.”
Well, I apologized in case I offended her, but for so reason, she…
…Was glaring at …? Why though…?
Doah pursed her cherry-like lips.
“…Are you angry?”
She wore such an intense frown that I thought I’d made an irreparable mistake.
However, as if to show that it wasn’t the case, Doah shook her head instead of answering.
Phew… That was great…
She picked up her glass of water and gulped it down before taking a deep breath.
“Oppa.”
“Yeah.”
“In the future, just tell .”
I felt relieved for a mont, but then realized I actually made her upset.
“Sorry, sorry. Did that make you upset? You’re right though, I should have just told you about it.”
“No. I’m not upset. It’s just…”
She pinched the bridge of her nose with her thumb and forefinger, as if in distress.
“Just tell next ti.”
“Okay.”
Feeling like I’d been scolded, I figured I’d just eat and forked a piece of sundae offal.
“Oppa.”
Perhaps already full, Doah used her chopsticks to scrape the bowl of her tteokbokki, which now had nothing but seasoning on it.
“Do you like to play gas?”
“I do.”
There wasn’t a ga I hadn’t played, from the mainstream ones that everyone else played in PC Bangs to the gal gas that otaku were obsessed with.
And, if we were talking about gacha gas, I whaled on them.
“Which one do you play the most?”
“Um…”
To answer that, I had to consider the aning of ‘playing a lot’ first.
Like, was it a ga that I played for a long period of ti, or the ones I usually play for a long ti in one sitting?
Or it could be the gacha gas I’d play every now and then so that I’d get so freebies.
While I was thinking about what to say for a mont.
I figured I didn’t need to reveal my tastes that deeply.
“I play League of Legends often.”
This was all I had to say.
This was because in general, mainstream picks tend to be easy as pie.
In fact, I often went to PC Bangs with my friends in high school to play it.
“Which lane do you play?”
“I’m either adc or top.”
“Then, do you want to duo bot with later?”
Hearing her offer, my heart started to pound.
I’m… I’m going to duo bottom lane with Luka-tan…?
So many tis… I had tried this… I watched her live, I donated to her, but I had never been selected…
I, who hadn’t been chosen for ladder climbing, roulette, or anything else, got a chance like this…!
The opportunity ca so quickly and easily that I was dumbstruck.
“…You don’t want to?”
While I was crying out in joy in my heart, it seed like Doah thought that I was about to reject her offer.
“No, no. Let’s do it! We can just play! I’ll carry you!”
“What rank are you?”
“I used to be Gold.”
“Does that an you’re not gold now?”
There was no way that I could say I had deranked myself because I wanted to play with her, a Bronze player.
It was hard to purposely lose without getting banned.
“I may be Silver now, but I swear I’m better than your average gold players.”
“Oh. So you’re a little bit like ?”
A question mark was stamped in my head.
“You? As ?”
Hey, Luka. What were you on about?
Why were you putting on the sa level as you?
Yeah, Gold wasn’t a high rank or anything like that, but that was still rude of her.
“Why? You haven’t even seen play.”
No. I’ve seen it. A lot of fucking tis.
You suck at it.
Like, you keep flashing into a wall, why were you talking as if you were so big shot?
“Even if I look like this, I’m an all-arounder.”
– Pfft.
Eventually, I failed to hold back my laughter.
To be fair, this was way too funny.
It was like she was trying to block the sun with her own palm.1T/N: Idiom for trying to hide from the obvious truth
All the Pink Army knew she was shit at League.
Even though I was pretending to not know her identity, that was all I could do.
“…Why are you laughing?”
Doah pouted her lips as if she was offended.
“No, no. I wasn’t laughing.”
“You were clearly laughing. What do you an no?”
Isn’t it unfair to tell not to laugh when you made laugh?
“But you are Bronze.”
I stabbed her with the fact, and her pupils shook as if she’d been struck by a fatal blow.
“…How do you know that?”
“You ntioned it to Junseok during our first eting for the group project.”
“Oh. Right.”
It seed that Doah had forgotten what she had said.
I stood up from my seat as we finished the food we had ordered.
“Aunty. I’d like to pay the bill, please.”
“Oppa, give your account and I’ll—”
“No, no. Let’s just count in addition to the drinks.”
Considering that a coffee costed 5,000 won these days, it was no different than the portion of a al.
“…Is that okay?”
“It’s only 1000 won extra, so just count it as tuition fee or sothing.”
When we walked out with our stomachs full, the sun had already set.
“Ti passed quickly.”
“It did.”
In front of the slope leading up to her house.
Doah stopped in front of an unattended ice cream shop.
“Oppa, do you want so ice cream?”
“Are you treating ?”
“Oh. Sure.”
Maybe she felt bad for having pay for her al, so she readily answered my question.
“Hmmm…”
Unattended ice cream shops were all well and good, but this was the problem.
There were too many options.
While it was great that it was so much cheaper than convenience stores, too many options was practically poison to a person incapable of making decisions like .
Worse was that I wasn’t the only one who had this dilemma.
Standing next to , Doah only rolled her eyes, showing no sign of opening the freezer.
“Are you going to pick sothing?”
“What about you?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“Sa.”
Having watched Luka’s random facts segnts over and over again, I was well aware of Doah’s ice cream tastes.
“How about that one with the milk flavor?”
Doah reached out her hand as I suggested, and I thought she would open the freezer.
“Sigh… It’s good, but… Hmmm…”
The extended hand returned without even reaching the destination.
“I’ll just eat this.”
I grabbed the lon-flavored ice cream and stood in front of the register.
“Oppa, why are you so quick? I haven’t made up my mind yet.”
What were you on about? You would just choose milk-flavor or cherry-flavor anyway.
「When it cos to popsicles, I like milk-flavored ones the best, but sotis I get cherry.」
「Why, you ask? It’s just because I like them, chat!」
Since there were short clips of it as well, I had almost all of the lines morized.
“What are the options?”
“The one you said earlier and the cherry-flavored one.”
“Then let’s just play rock, paper, scissors and if I win, milk. If you win, cherry.”
“Sounds good.”
Doah intertwined her hands and stretched.
“Rock paper scissors!”
n should always pick rock.
I coolly thrust my fist forward.
“Alright!”
Doah, who showed paper, looked to be in a happy mood.
She was just choosing between two of her favorite flavors, so why would she be happy?
“What was it if I won?”
Wow, she didn’t even rember that…
“Cherry.”
Upon hearing my answer, Doah pulled out a cherry-flavored ice cream and paid for mine as well at once.
“Soon, it’ll be too cold to eat ice cream.”
“Yeah.”
Also, since it was October, the midterms would soon begin.
The thought of having to take a test when I felt like I hadn’t got anything done was depressing.
As we walked up the alley, we found ourselves in front of Doah’s house.
“I had fun today.”
She grinned widely.
“ too.”
Visiting the arcade with Luca.
It was a special experience you couldn’t get no matter how much money you donated to her.
“Do you want to go again soti?”
“Sure, just call .”
“Okay, then.”
Doah awkwardly raised her right hand.
“I’m going in now? See you at school?”
“Ah, uh, go ahead. Do your best on our group project. Tell if you have any problems with it.”
Obviously I knew that she wouldn’t be having any problems. I just said it out of courtesy.
“Oh, right. By the way, Oppa.”
Doah, who pushed the door to get in, called and stopped .
“What’s your League of Legends userna?”
“My—”
Ah, wait. I’m screwed.
Doah tilted her head when I didn’t answer her question.
“I thought I’d add you as a friend since we’re going to play League of Legends together.”
A chill ran down my spine.
The thing was, I couldn’t tell her my userna so nonchalantly like that.
Because my userna was…
