Last night, after having a really close mont with Han-gyeol, I felt incredibly happy.
And the fact that he wants to be completely imrsed in him...!
Just thinking about it makes so joyful.
He’s already made think of nothing but him, yet he’s still so greedy.
I have a feeling today is going to be a great day.
“Hehe…”
“Eun-ha, you look especially happy today~! Did sothing good happen?”
It seems others can tell I’m in a good mood too. Chae Jiyoung noticed my expression and asked.
“Huh? Do I really look that way? Well, sothing nice did happen~.”
“Oh? What is it?! Co on, tell ~ I’m curious. Please? Tell quickly~.”
Jiyoung started poking in the side, urging to spill the details.
“Well, I just had a fun ti with my boyfriend~.”
“Eun-ha, do you really enjoy hanging out with your boyfriend that much?”
“Yeah, it’s super fun and exciting. Next week is the cherry blossom festival, so we’re planning to go see the blossoms.”
I’m already looking forward to our second cherry blossom festival together with Han-gyeol.
This ti, I’ll pack a nice lunchbox too.
“Oh, right. Yoori, you ntioned you’re eting your boyfriend this weekend, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, it’s been almost a month, so I’m really looking forward to it too.”
Yoori smiled brightly, clearly as eager for the weekend as I am.
“Do you and your boyfriends ever fight? You both seem so happy all the ti.”
“Han-gyeol and I? Hmm, I don’t think we’ve ever really fought. What about you, Yoori?”
“Well… we do fight a bit. Not all the ti, but yeah… we have our monts~.”
“Yoori, that’s more typical. Eun-ha, have you really never had a fight?”
“Umm… Nothing cos to mind. If we have, I guess I’ve forgotten?”
Fighting with Han-gyeol… No matter how hard I try to recall, nothing cos up.
We’re both pretty good at expressing any dissatisfaction right away, and we take care of each other well.
“What do you usually fight about with your boyfriend, Yoori?”
“Well… if he doesn’t contact often or if there’s an issue with female or male friends?”
We’re together so much that honestly, I’m not sure.
Neither I nor Han-gyeol have any female or male friends that would be an issue.
If anything, there’s Harim or Choi Jiyoung, but that’s about it.
And I don’t have any male friends to speak of.
“I see. I’ll keep that in mind and be careful.”
“You two must be really compatible as a couple… Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for so long, but these days it feels like…”
“Does it really change a lot after being together for a long ti?”
“Yeah… I think so. There’s almost nothing we don’t know about each other, and we’ve done just about everything when it cos to dates. So, I guess that’s why we fight more often. We try to mix things up sotis, but given our situation, it’s not easy~.”
“I see.”
“You and Han-gyeol are coming up on one year, right? Try to change things up every now and then~. It’s natural to get too comfortable as ti passes.”
Even though I listened to Yoori’s advice, nothing specific ca to mind.
“Change things up?”
“Yeah. Before things get too routine, it might be a good idea to introduce so changes every now and then.”
“Change, huh… I’m not really sure what that would look like.”
Seeing deep in thought, Jiyoung chid in from the side.
“What about changing your hairstyle?”
“My hair? Hmm… I’ve always had long straight hair. Maybe I should try dyeing it? Or go for a bob cut?”
“That could be nice! The difference between long hair and a bob is huge. Guys would definitely notice a big change!”
“Really?”
Sothing Sparked in
I was intrigued.
Even though Han-gyeol seems to prefer long hair.
I rember having short hair when I was very young, but I never thought it suited much.
Short hair is definitely more convenient… Should I give it a try this ti? But, I do feel a bit hesitant.
“Eun-ha, I think you’d look adorable with short hair. What do you think, Yoori?”
“She’d be super cute. Eun-ha has this pure vibe with long hair, but with short hair, she’d be, like, incredibly cute, you know?”
“Right? Eun-ha, co over here for a second.”
“Huh? Why?”
Before I knew it, the girls ca up to and started tying up my hair.
They pulled my long hair up as high as possible and tied it securely, instantly shortening its length.
“Wow...”
Jiyoung and Yoori both stared at , speechless.
“So cute…”
“Right? Even cuter than I imagined. It’s like you’ve gone all-in on cuteness, leaving the pure look behind.”
“Wow, that’s such a perfect description. Eun-ha, have you ever shown your boyfriend how you look with short hair?”
“No… I think I’ve only shown him when I’ve loosely tied it up.”
“You should totally show him! I bet he’d love it!”
Their complints made a little shy, but I hope Han-gyeol finds it cute too.
I’ll take a look in the mirror when I get ho and show him later tonight.
Maybe I should even try so different hairstyles while I’m at it.
“Okay! I’ll show him tonight!”
“Yeah~! Let us know how it goes!”
“Sure! Thanks!”
****
After all my classes were done, I t up with Han-gyeol for a bit.
“Eun-ha, you’re heading ho now, right? I’ve got a three-hour class, so don’t wait for . Just go ho first.”
“Okay! Got it. Then I’ll stop by the market on my way ho.”
“If you have a lot to buy, we could go together later in the evening.”
“It’s fine~ I don’t need to buy much. I can carry it all on my own.”
“Alright then. I’ll see you at ho later. I’ve got to head to class now.”
“Yep! See you later~.”
“Be careful. Watch out for cars.”
“Will do~.”
After waving goodbye to Han-gyeol, I headed straight to the supermarket near ho.
I’ve set a budget for my living expenses, so I can’t afford luxurious als every day.
“Hmm… maybe I’ll just make a simple kimchi stew today.”
I put a pack of pork shoulder into my shopping basket.
Then I wandered around the store, looking at seaweed and various vegetables.
I wanted to make sothing with salmon, which Han-gyeol loves, but my budget is tight this month.
Maybe I should start looking for a part-ti job starting in April.
It’s probably still too early to make money from video editing, right?
I think Han-gyeol has been browsing part-ti job sites occasionally.
“Oh—right, I need to buy eggs too…!”
With an eco-bag in one hand and a carton of eggs in the other, I headed ho.
After arriving, I imdiately put the groceries away in the fridge.
As I started to casually tie up my hair, the girls’ words suddenly popped into my mind.
“Should I tie it up now…?”
I stood in front of the wall mirror in the living room and tied up my hair the way I wanted to show Han-gyeol.
I think I showed him a ponytail once before… Maybe braiding my hair would be a good idea.
As I played around with my hair, I decided to split it into two braids.
Hmm... Pigtails Might Be Too Much, Right?
Pigtails at twenty years old? Yeah, it does feel a bit much.
But still, reminiscing about childhood mories with my mom, I decided to try it out for old ti’s sake.
Since no one else was ho anyway, I carefully tied my hair into two pigtails and looked into the mirror.
As expected, doing this at twenty feels a little embarrassing.
“It’s a bit awkward to pull this off as an adult.”
Just as I was about to untie my hair, I suddenly heard the door click open.
“Eun-ha, you ho?!”
My heart nearly stopped.
But as soon as I saw Han-gyeol coming out of the computer room, I felt both relief and utter dread.
“Oh? You tied your hair…?”
Han-gyeol paused for a split second when he saw .
That pause told everything.
“Why is Han-gyeol… coming out of there…?”
It felt like the world was crashing down around .
“Answer . Why is Han-gyeol… coming out of there? What about your class?”
“Uh… well… The professor suddenly canceled, so I ca ho.”
“You could’ve called…”
“My phone died…! Haha…! I saw you coming up from the window, so I thought I’d surprise you by hiding in the computer room…!”
“Oh. I see. You did…”
As Han-gyeol was about to comnt on my hair, I quickly shouted out.
“Don’t say anything—!! Absolutely—! Please…! The only thing you should do right now is go back into the computer room as if nothing happened. Got it…? Just erase what you saw from your mory… And co out in ten minutes like nothing ever happened. Got it…?”
A twenty-year-old girl tying her hair into pigtails at ho, admiring herself in the mirror—
No matter how much Han-gyeol cares for , this might be a bit much for him to handle.
I’m dood.
Of all people, to be caught by the last person I wanted to see this…
I collapsed onto the sofa, utterly defeated.
Seeing like that, Han-gyeol offered so comforting words.
“Eun-ha, you look cute with pigtails.”
As soon as his words reached my ears, my face started to flush rapidly, starting from my neck.
In the end, unable to bear the embarrassnt, I scread and dashed into the bedroom.
“Ughhhh—! Han-gyeol, I hate you—! I told you not to ntion it—!”
I locked the door, sothing I’d never done before, and slumped down against it.
“Ugh—! Eun-ha! You really looked cute! I’m serious—!”
Han-gyeol kept knocking on the door, trying to talk to .
“I don’t care—! Everything’s ruined—! Just leave alone—!”
“Eun-ha, you were seriously the cutest—! Honestly, the cutest in the world—!”
“I don’t care—! Stop calling cute! Please forget it ever happened—!”
