Chapter 166 – #166. Symptom
Unable to check the model at Huimin’s house, I went into a nearby subway bathroom and opened the box.
I was feeling really weird.
How many people on earth have checked out a model that imitates their own things in a public bathroom?
Still, I was satisfied that it came out of better quality than I thought, so I put the items in the bag after restoring the packaging again.
The next stop is the department store.
When I think of the fan art that Naeun gave me as a gift, I never thought to take care of it roughly.
It was Naeun who completed the painting while staying up all night without receiving a single penny.
That’s all, I made a great contribution to the completion, but it was impossible for me to take care of her birthday.
Of course, the basic mindset of having to take care of the birthday of the girlfriend I dated for the first time also played a role.
After getting off the subway and going up to the ground, I went straight to the first floor of a department store where I was full of anger.
“So where do we go…”
I arrived, but I didn’t know where to go was the wisest choice.
I think it would be better to just ask me to buy something I want on a regular basis at times like this.
Naeun was the wife who always asked if she had anything she wanted, and asked her to hand over some peppers.
I thought that there would be no income even if I glanced at it alone for a hundred days, so I went to the luxury brand company C.
“Welcome. Sir.”
Last time, I wasn’t immune to the overly friendly female staff, but this time it’s the second round.
Of course, I had never come to buy anything of mine, but I felt much more comfortable than the first time.
“Yes. Hello.”
“Yes. Is there any item or model you are looking for?”
“I want to make a bag for my girlfriend.”
“Ah, it must be an anniversary~”
You guess like a ghost.
“Yes yes. Because this is my birthday.”
“I wonder if your girlfriend’s age is…”
“Ah. I am in my mid 20s.”
“I see. Then would you like to see it from this side?”
The clerk who took me to the stall showed me the bags lined up one by one.
“In the case of this model, a lot of young people are looking for it now.”
“Okay.”
“And this…”
He continued to explain, but to be honest, it all sounded like there.
After scanning the stalls, I pointed out a bag that caught my eye even though the staff didn’t show it to me.
“How much is he?”
“Uh… Now, the price range seems to go up a lot from the Go line.”
Ah. It’s too expensive for kids to carry around. What is that?
“How are you? This?”
“Wait a minute.”
The staff who confirmed the bag model kindly called the price.
“It’s 8.2 million won.”
Oh man… That’s really expensive.
The two I just showed you were affordable prices.
But even so, I was greedy for that bag.
It was because the visuals were overwhelming just by looking at them with the naked eye.
“Write… Wait a minute.”
Accessing the bank app, I checked how much cash I have now.
It’s not like I can’t live…
But I thought Naeun would faint if I told her the price.
That you have a lot of money, why did you buy something so expensive?
But hesitating for a while.
“Just give me this one.”
“Can I help you pay right away?”
“Yes. Please.”
It was an employee whose pupils were dilated, perhaps a little surprised, but watching them smile right away made me think that the service industry is hard.
Of course, the reaction could have been a little unpleasant, but it did not mean that the employee’s feelings were not understood.
Yes, because I was wearing sweatpants right now.
It was a bit Eva’s outfit for the booties to come out.
The other day, I dressed up for no reason, and after hearing Naeun ask if I was going to meet a girl, I tended to dress casually.
“How would you like to pay in installments?”
“Um… Six months, please.”
…Still, the 800 was a bit scary.
“Thank you~”
Isn’t the bag envelope to contain the bag so gorgeous?
After thinking that expensive things are worth the money, I moved on to my next destination without hesitation.
To be honest, I knew that a dildo, a special gift, in a bag at this price would be enough, but from here on out, I was greedy.
Stopped by the flower shop, I told the staff to ask for a bouquet of flowers for my girlfriend.
“Ah~ Then, are you the type to pay attention to the language of flowers?”
The language of flowers… Well… I came without much thought.
“If you tell me, I will pick one.”
Perhaps the explanation was often done, but the staff recited the language of flowers to me one by one in turn.
“In the case of the most common rose, it means passionate love or passionate love.”
“This yellow freesia means cheering for the start.”
“Lily means unchanging love.”
“Tulips mean a confession of love.”
What is so much
It only had good meanings, so I didn’t know what to choose, so in the end I burst out with an awkward laugh.
“Ah. It’s difficult. I think you can put in roses and tulips first, and match the colors with the rest.”
“I think the composition will be a little different depending on the price range. How would you like it?”
“Can it be possible for about 50,000 won?”
“Sure. Then I’ll have it ready by tomorrow morning.”
“Yes yes. I look forward to.”
I bring this in the morning before Naeun wakes up.
Last thing to do.
After entering the cafe, I ordered an iced americano and opened the bag.
Stationery and ballpoint pen prepared in advance.
I couldn’t forget the impression of the handwritten letter I received from Naeun, so I wanted to present the same heartfelt message.
I’m a writer, but I can’t write a single letter.
If it was a girlfriend who didn’t know my identity, I think she would have written it without any hesitation.
I took a sip of my cool coffee and grabbed my pen.
It reminded me of the face of the woman who had scolded me for writing badly on a fictional day.
“Hannah. Get ready to vomit.”
Having made up my mind that I would write a letter so moving that even a pervert like Naeun couldn’t hold back her tears, I started moving my pen.
[To my dear Naeun.]
* * *
Huimin said she was going to meet her brother, so I asked her to have a good trip and I opened the refrigerator.
The green tea flavored ice cream I bought before.
Did the ice cream taste really weird the day I went to Namsan?
If not, is something wrong with my tongue?
Opening the package, I slowly put the ice cream into my mouth.
A feeling so cold that your teeth ache.
And what follows…
“Oooh…!”
Obviously, the smell I remembered was right, but I couldn’t stand the nausea that rose up.
I didn’t want to eat it, so I threw the ice cream in the sink.
Apparently, the ice cream wasn’t the problem.
If so, then the problem is on my side…
Sitting in front of the computer, I searched the Internet for the symptoms I was experiencing.
[Sudden change of appetite]
If you search like this, you will see several articles.
And most of the stories…
[Early Pregnancy Symptoms]
Write…
Hmm…
The probability wasn’t 0, but I’m currently getting an injection.
It was a time when it was safe to say that she was in a state of immunity to pregnancy.
I got an injection in January. It’s still April, so it’s not too late to get hit again.
Still, just in case, I entered through the link called “Early pregnancy symptoms” And began to suffer from more and more anxiety.
There were explanations for various symptoms, but two things apply to me.
It’s that I’ve been feeling very tired lately.
Strangely, there were many times when I was tired even though I got enough sleep.
I thought it was because I mixed my body with my brother, but it’s true that there are many times when I don’t sleep.
Another thing is that even smelling the green tea scent is disgusting.
It was definitely my favorite flavor, but now I can’t even swallow a bite.
But if this is true…
A… It can’t be true.
Still, I seemed to need to check properly, so I put on my slippers and left the house.
I bought a pregnancy test kit from a nearby pharmacy and read the instructions.
When I calculated my menstrual period, I thought it would be okay to do it right now, but after seeing on the Internet that the first morning urine secreted the most hormones, I decided to try it tomorrow morning.
What if… Really, if I were pregnant…
What are we supposed to do
I also need to delete…
Unbeknownst to me, my hands were wrapped around my stomach.
At the beginning of our relationship, I took the morning-after pill to prevent accidents, but now I couldn’t possibly do that if it was confirmed that I had a child.
…I needed my brother.
I picked up my cell phone and immediately called my brother.
[Hello?]
[Huh. Where are you?]
[I’m in a cafe with Hwimin.]
[Can you come in soon?]
[Why. What happened?]
[No. It’s not like that… I just want to see it.]
[Umm… Then I’ll go inside an hour.]
[All right. Come quickly.]
[Do you have anything to buy on the way?]
After shutting my mouth for a moment, I spit out the fruit that came to my mind.
[…I want to eat strawberries.]
