I arrived ho, feeling drained, washed up, and imdiately retreated to my room to lie down. The day was overwhelming, and I found it hard to process everything.
The morning joke about Shincheonji turned out to be a real confession, not about Shincheonji. We t again today, and I received another heartfelt confession.
I got a girlfriend.
To my disbelief, it wasn't a dream. We had been deep in conversation until just a mont ago. I got ho later than usual because of our extended chat, and as soon as I walked in, my mom sensed sothing was different and asked about my day.
"......"
Is it like spinning a top that doesn't stop? Maybe I'm in the middle of Inception.
Such thoughts felt so surreal that I even questioned their reality.
But that was just a mont ago.
"We decided to date, but I feel really bad for only asking this now..."
"Yes?"
"What's your na?"
"...Oh, right."
Seemingly surprised by the question herself, she took out her wallet and showed her student ID. That was pretty cute.
Let's see.
"Lee Heena. Heena... from Seonghwa Girls' High."
"Hehe, yes. That's right. But can you say it again?"
"What?"
"My na."
"...Heena?"
"Yes! Yeonho!"
Oh my goodness. Buddha, Allah, God above.
How can I express this peculiar mix of embarrassnt and joy? Seeing Heena put her hands on her cheeks as I called her na made want to shout in excitent.
Is she really my girlfriend?
I suppressed the overflowing happiness, not wanting to co across as too giddy. We continued our conversation.
"Oh? You don't live that far from ?"
"About three bus stops? It's close."
"I'll walk you ho later."
"Can you walk to the bus stop?"
"Of course. By the way, why were you around here?"
Sotis she'd make a curious face at my questions.
"Eh, it was nothing. And for the past few days, I just ca to see you."
"Ah, I see?"
"Your smile is getting bigger."
"I'm naturally smiley."
"I know that... but is that the only reason?"
"Sorry. Honestly, I was happy."
As the conversation deepened,
"You have two older brothers? I heard siblings fight a lot."
"Well, up until last year, we occasionally fought over gas, but not anymore. We hang out well."
"I sotis bicker with my brother too, but we don’t really fight. Maybe it's like that?"
"Probably?"
"I should say hello to them soti."
"...Yeah, you should."
As Heena continued,
"There's a direct bus from over there."
"It should be here in about 10 minutes."
"Thanks for today."
"No, I should be thanking you. I misunderstood sothing earlier."
"No, it's who's grateful. And... can I ask for a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Can we take a photo together?"
"Shouldn't I be the one on my knees begging you for that?"
"Hehe, it's a limited-ti offer! You don't have to kneel!"
"Thank you so much..."
It was a bit embarrassing how direct she was.
Especially when Heena leaned in close to pose for the photo, I could sll her scent, hear her breathing, feel her so close. I just hoped I didn’t look silly in the photo.
Snap!
"I wish we had more ti to take more photos."
"...Let's take more next ti."
"Okay! The number you gave earlier... I see it on my chat now. Should I send the photo?"
"Yes."
"It's a sha there's only one, but it turned out great."
"Indeed. You... I an, it's a really good photo."
"It's because you look great! I'll set this as my profile picture."
"Well, in that case... I will too."
I should also set it as my profile picture...
[ Kim Suhwang: Why hasn't Han Yeonho logged in yet? He lives close by, there should be plenty of ti for a ga. ]
[ Jung Yoonsung: Lol, turns out he wasn't lying. He's supposedly on a date after receiving a confession? ]
[ Kim Jiyoon: Snap out of it! ]
[ Lee Hyunwoo: You know why that bastard has 4 limbs? So he can be torn apart over 4 days.]
[ Kim Suhwang: Excluding the 10 PM study group, everyone has logged in, right? Just this guy missing? Got caught, didn’t he? ]
[ Jung Yoonsung: Maybe Han Yeonho's elder brother took his computer spot... I'd like to think so, but if his brother took it, he'd still be on his phone. Not on the computer and not on the phone? He must be super confident now. ]
[ Shin Uihyun: Sigh... Guys, let's not be too suspicious of Han Yeonho. He wouldn't just ditch us without saying anything, right? ]
[ Kim Suhwang: ??? : Hey, Han Yeonho.. you don't need to go ho? No playing gas with your friends?
[ Bastard: Those lonely nerds can play amongst themselves lol. I have a girlfriend to hang out with now. ]
[ Jung Yoonsung: Detective Kim Suhwang, putting his reputation on the line. ]
[ Jung Yoonsung: Huh? The count decreased. You saw this, didn't you, Mr. Han Yeonho? Why aren't you joining? Are you really on a date? You bitch! ]
Upon opening the chat on his phone, the usual group chat greeted him, filled with these sharp-tongued ssages.
Such sharp-tongued jerks. What should he do? He could've just said he was running late because of so trivial reason, but changing the profile picture...
While hesitating with his phone, Heena gently approached, grabbing the hem of his shirt.
"Han Yeonho, you'll change your profile too, right?"
"Oh, of course. Just checking the group chat for a sec."
That's right. My girlfriend is this cute and pretty, why would I care about those jerks? Instead, I want to proudly show her off to the world.
Changing his profile picture, and even setting his wallpaper to a photo of him and Heena, he quickly put his phone away.
He turned off the group chat notifications.
It was terrifying.
"The bus is here already."
"Next ti, or, I an, tomorrow, I'll co to your place. It must've been hard for you to keep coming here."
"No, not at all! But if you study late, it gets too late."
"You used to co late too."
"Well, that was before we started dating. I know you're busy with studying, so let's et this Saturday?"
"Sure.."
If he just hangs out during study hours instead of studying, wouldn't it seem too casual?
"So, want to et this Saturday?"
"Yes! Anyway, I'll head ho first. Thanks for walking this far."
"You're welco. Get ho safely~"
"You too, Han Yeonho!"
Reflecting on it, those monts still feel so surreal.
Yet, when I turn on my phone, the picture I took with Heena imdiately catches my eye.
"Heh heh heh..."
Looking at it, an uncontrollable joy rises, and a strange chuckle escapes endlessly.
How can I hold back this feeling? It's as if I have the world in my hands.
I bet even winning the lottery wouldn't make happier than this. Who cares about the lottery?
She's my girlfriend!
Ding! Amidst these thoughts, a notification sound prompts to swiftly open the ssage.
Expecting it to be from Heena, I looked at the screen.
[ Heena : Yep, just finished showering~ ]
[ Gaming Groupchat: Looking for this SOB guy!! 300 ]
Hope above, despair below. I can't bear to open that one.
It's a small chat room, but how has it piled up so quickly? They seem like beasts driven by jealousy.
I'll deal with the trivial matters tomorrow, and continue chatting with Heena.
[ Han Yeonho: I just got out too. When do you usually sleep? ]
[ Heena: Around midnight? I usually study for a bit and then sleep~ ]
Wow, she's diligent.
[ Han Yeonho: Woah... you seem studious. ]
[ Heena: Maybe a little? ]
[ Han Yeonho: I should work harder too. ]
[ Heena: Fight on! I'll teach you so stuff next ti! ]
[ Han Yeonho: Really? Wow.. Teacher Heena.. ]
[ Heena: ^_^! Where should we go on Saturday? ]
[ Han Yeonho: Let's see... ]
[ Heena: Since we made plans last minute, how about we just wander around without overthinking it? ]
[ Han Yeonho: Sounds good to ! ]
[ Heena: Let's do that then. How about lunchti, and we can eat outside? ]
[ Han Yeonho: If it's okay with you? ]
[ Heena: Then, let's et up early! Let's aim for 11ish and finalize the ti tomorrow evening? ]
[ Han Yeonho: Sure. ]
While chatting, I realized Heena is very proactive. It's as if she's the type to lead the conversation, leaving no room for to ponder.
As a guy, I do want to take charge, but honestly, having Heena take the lead feels really nice.
Especially since it makes feel she's genuinely interested.
We chatted for about an hour. Astonishingly, the conversation flowed naturally thanks to Heena, and I was impressed.
[ Heena: Goodnight! ]
[ Han Yeonho: Night, Heena~ (sleeping cat emoticon) ]
[ Heena: Hehe, so cute~ (smiling dog emoticon) ]
[ Han Yeonho: (cat fainting from heart-throb emoticon) ]
After saying goodnight, we continued exchanging emoticons for another 10 minutes before ending the chat with the promise of tomorrow.
Is this what love feels like?
Is this what having a girlfriend is all about?
How have I only co to realize this wonderful feeling now?
I thought that the phrase "When you're in love, the whole world looks beautiful" was just a line from the movies. How wrong I was.
The world really looked beautiful.
Thinking about ssaging Heena again tomorrow, I found myself smiling even with my eyes shut.
Tonight, I feel I'll dream the happiest dreams.

The following day,
The mont I woke up, I was elated to see Heena's ssages again. But that blissful morning quickly turned into hell the mont I stepped into the classroom.
"Ha-ha, welco, Yeonho. We've saved a spot for you."
"Excuse , teachers? Should we not converse in a civilized manner─"
"Enough, Yeonho. Just co over here, will you?"
With that, the person I believed was my friend pointed to a corner of the classroom.
...Where LEGOs were scattered.
Damn.
I should've arrived just as the teacher was coming in.
Author's Note:
Thank you for your comnts and recomndations today.
So of you asked about the serialization schedule, and to be honest, I'm uncertain.
For now, I've set it to update 7 days a week...
It might be daily, or it might not.
It's like Schrödinger's serialization, haha. And regarding any NTR drift, let be clear~
There's none.
I aim to provide a story that's light and fun at heart.
A tale to relax your mind.
Also, the sub-title might undergo changes.
It might not, but then again, it might.
;ㅅ;
Thank you.
