Chapter 73 – Be My Boyfriend Just for Today
I lost 7 kg of weight.
In fact, these days, it is because there is no desire or hope to live anymore.
Life without a mistress was just so empty.
-Wheein…
However, I start my daily routine today.
Clean the bed that was messed up by the sex between the master and Hee-yeon.
I roll up the bed sheets and put them all in a cylinder, and vacuum up the pubic hair scattered on the floor. It also wipes away the liquid and semen scattered all over the place.
“Whoa…”
This is the end of cleaning the room.
Now all you have to do is toss your bed sheets in the washing machine-.
“…”
But my body stiffens as it is.
It’s because of Heeyeon’s cold expression looking at me in front of the door.
“… Heeyeon-ah.”
She doesn’t answer even when I call her name.
She was glaring at me with an ice-cold face.
After staring at him for a long time, the words he finally uttered were also chilled.
“Tomorrow. Know?”
Tomorrow.
The day when Hee-yeon completely falls for her master.
If I accept Hee-yeon, if I connect with her, Hee-yeon will be able to live with her sanity to some extent.
However, I am just silent.
“Really, you don’t love me at all.”
However, like her conclusion, my conclusion is the same.
I don’t love Heeyeon.
You can’t force something that doesn’t work.
“Is it okay for me… To go over to the master like this? What about your life?”
I just hung my head.
Whatever you say, it’s all just an excuse.
“… Then, Seongmin.”
However, in an instant, her voice became friendly as if spring had arrived.
I looked at her
Tears were pouring out of her eyes.
Still, she was smiling.
“Then, will you do me one last favor?”
Her expression seems to have given up on everything.
In an instant, my heart ached so much.
As I hold her words in my heart, I feel a pain as if my heart is being torn apart.
“Just for today, be my boyfriend.”
***
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this feeling.
Sunny sunshine and cool breeze.
The daily noise of laughing and talking.
Me holding someone’s hand and walking in it.
And us
“Hey. Let’s go there for a long time. Do you remember the author?”
Where Heeyeon’s fingertips point.
Our reserved seats at the ‘Bonnie and Cloud’ cafe.
The place where I used to do my homework every night.
“Keuk. Long time no see. I stayed up all night because of you.”
Heeyeon’s cheeks puffed up at my playful words.
She said as she poked me in the side.
“Because you’re researching data, that’s right! How hard is it to make a PPT! Would you like some help!”
“Then why do you lose in misfortune? Is it the fortune you asked me to do?”
“It’s rotten, really.”
“Quack-quick. Then you have to get revenge this time. A call to pay for coffee?”
“… Call.”
We, who were dating in the city, went back to the old days in an instant.
No, maybe he is desperately acting out the image of an old memory that will be the last.
“What sport do you want to play?”
Anyway, we’ve been doing everything from assignments, late-night snacks, errands, cleaning up, etc.
We decided to do one of the sports that we used often, ‘Pressing the teeth’.
The rule of this game is to press 20 crocodile teeth and lose if you get a ‘bang’.
– Tuk-tat-tak-tattak-tak-tak-♬
The BGM that appears when you run the crocodile teeth app.
Listening to this BGM always makes my hamstrings tingle.
Your spine gets chilly, and you swallow dry saliva.
-Widely!
I quickly pressed the crocodile teeth.
Only the crocodile teeth I pressed this time are already the 17th.
Fortunately, I was able to get through safely this time too.
Only 3 crocodile teeth left.
“Aaaaagh!”
Probability reduced to 1/3 in an instant.
Hee-yeon screamed and bit her fingernails.
Then she swallows her dry saliva, then takes a deep breath as if she had set her crocodile teeth on her own.
“Aaaaa!!”
She presses her crocodile teeth with such a strange spirit.
Take it!
– Pook.
But luckily, the crocodile teeth went inside safely.
It’s normal for Heeyeon to lose around this time.
Pretty tough this time.
“Whoa…”
Now the probability is 1/2.
It’s my turn again
But before pressing the crocodile teeth, I looked at Heeyeon and raised the corner of her mouth.
Her shoulders trembled.
“Hey. Coffee with cake, too, Cole?”
“Ke, cake too?”
“Uh. Cake too.”
“… Call. Let’s run for a bit.”
I turned my gaze back to the alligator teeth.
The odds are half and half.
Will you choose the upper teeth or the lower teeth?
Shall I use a magic spell?
‘… Chuck. Chuck. Park. Sa. Nim. Water.Uh.Bo.Si.Da ding.Dong.Dang…Dong!’
The crocodile teeth that I pressed with all my wishes.
Pook-! The sound of being folded in neatly.
I cheered.
“Pu haha!Hee hee!”
One tooth left.
The result of victory or defeat was self-evident even without pressing.
It’s my win
“Heeyeon. What are you doing? Should I press it?”
I put on a playful expression and thrust my face into her trembling Heeyeon.
Then she mocked her, spitting in her ear ‘What are you doing?’, ‘It’s your turn?’, ‘Maybe you won’t get caught?’
“Ah-oh! Really!”
Her face flushed red as she strode towards the cafe.
In the meantime, I pressed the last remaining tooth firmly.
The elimination BGM came out, saying buwang~ buwang~ buwang~ buwang~.
“Oh. This. It was a joke.”
Heeyeon looking back at me.
She was glaring at me with her ax eye.
“Ah! Come fast!”
“Yes, I’m going.”
Hee-yeon turns around and walks to the cafe.
I smiled bitterly at her lively appearance after a long time.
In the past, the three of us hung out often.
“Whoa…”
However, I quickly brushed off my thoughts.
Didn’t I tell you to be faithful to Heeyeon for today?
I followed her into her cafe.
***
A city dyed in red light.
Twilight was setting, announcing that the end of the day was approaching.
Me and Heeyeon were sitting on a bench and talking while looking at each other’s sticker pictures.
“Phehe. What’s this. The photoshop has gone too far?”
The image of Heeyeon giggling while pointing at my face.
I looked at Heeyeon like that.
Her face dyed in the sunset was so pure and beautiful.
A smile broke out.
“I know. What kind of sex couple do you think? Kkeuk.”
Heeyeon’s face hardened slightly when she said the word couple.
But she smiled again and nodded her head.
“Therefore. Even if you take a picture of a sticker, why did you take a picture like this?”
“I know. Let’s take a proper picture next time.”
Again, Heeyeon’s eyes waver at my words, ‘next time’.
She looked up at me cautiously.
I saw the hope in her eyes and smiled bitterly at her.
She immediately lowered her head.
“… Huh. Next time, I would like to take a picture again.”
She just mumbles that to herself.
I put my hand on her shoulder and opened her mouth.
“Would you like to take a walk? The river is pretty.”
The surface of the Han River in the red twilight.
The sparkle entered Heeyeon’s eyes.
She smiled slightly, then pulled herself up.
I also followed her, pulled her body up, and held her hand as she hovered in the air.
No, I grabbed her hand and put it on.
She smiled at me
“Swimming-. He’s like a boyfriend now.”
“It’s been a boyfriend concept all along, right? Don’t you know a relationship like a friend?”
“… I really want to hit him in the back of the head.”
“Ah~ why is that? Let’s take a walk.”
I waved Heeyeon’s hand up and down her and walked in front of her.
She blushed as if she was embarrassed, but soon matched my stride.
“By the way, Heeyeon-ah.”
“Huh.”
“Your singing skills died a lot.”
“Do you want to die too?”
“Keuk. It’s a joke. It was good to hear it after a long time. Your voice.”
“…It’s no use trying to fix it now.”
We stopped by Coin Karaoke.
Heeyeon sings well.
Is it really a natural voice?
Every time she sang, there was a time when Hayoung and I made a fuss about when the hell we were going to debut.
“Well, whatever. What do you want to eat for dinner? Would you like a little drink?”
She continues her thoughts for a while in response to my question.
Then she said, snapping her fingers, as if she had remembered something.
“Let’s go to a restaurant! Fine dining!”
“Hmm. I wanted to be Soju George.”
“No, I have something to do. Today… Is my wish.”
“Uh… Yes. What.”
“I want to receive an event or something. At a restaurant, like a ph-proposal.”
“A proposal? You don’t even have a ring?”
“Go buy it now! A necklace too!”
Heeyeon looks a bit excited.
I smiled and nodded her head.
Because today, I decided to adjust everything to Heeyeon.
“Good. Then I’ll make a restaurant reservation.”
After searching for a high-end restaurant nearby, I made a reservation there.
Then, I took a taxi and went to the department store.
We are now in the jewelry section of a department store.
“Um… I think this is okay?”
“No, that is too plain. How about that instead?”
“Um… The jewel is too big? Do you like mothers? Can you buy me one with pearls on it?”
“What. What kind of mothers like that? It’s just fine.”
I wonder if large jewelry was Heeyeon’s preference.
That’s not a bit
I looked up and asked the employee what the most popular ring was.
The employee asked what purpose the ring was for, and I replied that it was a wedding ring.
Heeyeon’s body trembled.
“Ah~ If you’re a prospective couple~ You’d better look this way~”
Following the staff’s guidance, we started looking around the ring.
Soon we picked the right ring and did the math.
And we went straight to the restaurant we had reserved.
“I want to bow down and bow down, but bow down and bow down.”
A suite in a fine dining restaurant.
As the inadvertently spoken words flowed into Heeyeon’s ears, she gave a tingle and glared at me.
Is it because of her mood that her knife as she cuts the steak shines so sharp?
“It can’t be helped. There is no time. This is the only place to propose while eating.”
“Well, that’s an acknowledgment.”
I answered that while slicing the steak.
We ate a piece of steak at the same time and drank wine.
It was bitter.
“Ah-uh. Why is this so expensive?”
“That’s why it’s soju or George.”
“Proposing while drinking soju isn’t much.”
“Hmm. Admit it.”
“…”
We start cutting our own steaks again.
Before long, I saw a cart coming from afar.
I whispered to Heeyeon as I held her body close to her.
“Hey. Come. That one, that one.”
“Brother. What kind of proposal is this serious?”
“It can’t be helped. Uh? Everything has come.”
Knock-dock- A restaurant employee who knocks on the glass door and politely enters.
We pretended not to know anything and started slicing the steak.
In the meantime, the restaurant staff put candles on the table, adjusted the lighting, and attached balloons to create a proposal atmosphere.
This is a reserved room, so it was possible to decorate it exclusively for a proposal like this.
“…?”
However, we had to endure the strange stares of the restaurant staff.
The room is being decorated in such a way that it would be good for a proposal, but since both of them are slicing steak without any reaction, it must look strange.
“…?”
An employee who checks whether you have come to the wrong room or even visited the room.
Then, as if she had come to her own conclusion, she put the box containing her necklace and ring on her table and stepped away.
‘Oh my god. They must have fought,” The voices of the staff whispered from outside the door.
“Kuhm.”
I cleared my throat as I looked at the box containing the ring.
We had been friends for a while, and it was awkward to suddenly propose.
“I… Should I just not do it?”
At that time, Heeyeon said in a trembling voice.
It was the awkwardness of her cage that made her feel intimidated.
So I got up and picked up the box.
I went behind her and pulled out her necklace from her box.
“Hey, hold your head for a second.”
She said, pulling her long hair together.
Recognizing her intentions, Heeyeon held her own head with one hand.
The white back of her neck was exposed.
– Swoop.
I put the necklace around her neck and put it on her hook.
Then she came back to my seat and looked at her wearing her necklace.
Her cheeks were red.
“It’s pretty. Goes well.”
It was sincere.
Hee-yeon is a beauty because she only thought of her as her friend.
She is the kind of person who deserves to be treated well and live.
“… The bar, the ring.”
She shyly changes the subject.
I smiled and picked up the box again.
I approached her and got her down on one knee.
I deserve her to kneel down on her knees.
-Fault.
Opened the box
Then, taking out the ring inside, he pushed it onto her delicate ring finger.
And I, thinking about what to say for a while, decided to speak the words that were most faithful to my feelings.
“Love you.”
As friends, not as lovers.
I love lee heeyeon
She also looked at me with eyes that seemed to know that.
The smile on her lips looked like it would break at any moment.
“Uhm. Shall we eat it then? Steaks are very expensive.”
She nodded her head without saying a word.
After that, we started slicing the steak, but the meat was strangely tough.
It didn’t slice well, and it didn’t go down my throat well.
Is it because the day is coming to an end?
“Here, Sungmin.”
Then, she calls me.
I looked at her.
Her eyes were slightly bloodshot.
“Can we… Go to bed?”
