EP.18

Since I was sitting next to the window, warm sunlight was coming straight in from outside the window.

As a result, the friends in the same class came to the table one by one and continued to introduce themselves with obvious nervousness, but the side of Lee Ji-hoon's face, which was looking out the window with his chin resting as if he was not interested at all, was still shining, but the sunlight was shining. When I received it, it shined even more.

To be honest, even though Nayoung, who was completely in love, didn't have a very handsome face, she looked more handsome than anyone else right now.

'Awesome...'

I glanced at Jihoon's face for a while, but then I found myself staring at him with a dazed look on my face.

"Ah, hello...! I'm Park Garose-ro-ri, who graduated from OO Elementary School. My dream is..."

Even as people from the front row started to introduce themselves one by one, Nayoung's ears had already been closed for a long time.

Because of that, none of the kids who finished introducing themselves could remember their names.

'I want to kiss you...'

I wanted to try the kissing behavior seen between lovers in dramas in a sweet atmosphere with Jihoon.

The easy yet very difficult act of attaching and separating one another's lips.

Beyond kissing, kissing with tongues is also something that Nayoung definitely wants to do with Jihoon.

While browsing the internet, I heard in some communities that everyone's lips taste different. What does Jihoon taste like?

Nayoung looked at her lips seductively and imagined it.

If those bright red lips touch yours and move violently against your lips...!

"Hehehe..."

I was happy just imagining it.

Nayoung is smiling with a relaxed face. She let out a goofy laugh.

"next."

When Jihoon heard the next word, he pushed his chair back and stood up.

oh...! I guess it's Jihoon's turn already!

Then after Jihoon, it was Nayoung.

Even though it was her turn soon, Nayoung didn't feel nervous.

I'm not used to going out in front and introducing myself, so why am I not even nervous?

The answer to this was deceptively simple.

Because I'm just interested in my loved one getting up in front and introducing himself.

"Hello. I'm Jihoon Lee."

"Hawawa!"

He only said his name, but he seemed much cooler than any other man in the world.

Nayoung's face turned bright red and her heart was pounding.

"Please take care of me."

Unlike the kids who finished their self-introductions earlier.

Jihoon tried to end by just saying his name.

"Jihoon. Is it over?"

"yes."

"...."

The teacher closed his mouth with an expression that said, "Well, this kid is all like this."

If it's your first time, you may not know, but it's almost the last time you've already seen everything, so it's inevitable that it's absurd.

The teacher felt like he would be bothered by touching him for no reason, so he nodded and sent him back to his seat.

"next."

Nayoung was looking dreamily at Jihoon, who was radiating charisma.

"next!"

"Yes, yes!"

So I got up at the second call.

This was the children's first day at the new school, and the entrance ceremony had just ended, so no matter how hard they tried to introduce themselves, they just waited for it to end quickly.

However, when Nayoung stepped forward, her eyes sparkled and focused as if she had been waiting for just this moment.

"Hello! My name is Nayoung Han!"

I only said the name, but applause and cheers erupted.

Mainly only for men.

"I went to the same school as Jihoon, and what I like is doing things with Jihoon. What I hate is not being around Jihoon… My hobby is spending time with Jihoon on the weekends… My dream is being with Jihoon…"

Nayoung continued to introduce herself eagerly.

The problem is that the name Jihoon follows every word he says.

As a result, the boys' faces rotted quickly.

Before they even had time to squeeze in, the woman named Han Na-young seemed to have completely fallen for an ordinary-looking boy named Lee Ji-hoon who didn't seem to have much to show off.

Still, Nayoung must be so pretty. The kids, who were confident in her appearance and background, didn't seem to have any intention of giving up.

"Let's be friendly~!"

I finished everything I wanted to say.

"Is there anything you want to ask Nayoung?"

After self-introduction, question time began led by the teacher.

"Me!"

"Here I am!"

"I want to ask you something!"

Earlier, during the other kids' question time, there were at most one or two people, but when it was Nayoung's turn, more than half of them were raising their hands.

Among them, one boy was chosen.

"Are you dating a guy named Jihoon?"

"huh!"

Without a moment of hesitation, he even nodded his head vigorously with a bright face and said yes.

The boy who asked the question sat down in his seat, looking sullen.

"Next question."

"Me!"

"Me! Me! Me!"

What most people wanted to ask was whether Jihoon was dating, but very few people raised their hands this time.

"If you're dating Jihoon, is that a couple ring you're wearing on your left ring finger?!"

"Yes! It's a coupling ring!"

"When and how did you get it?"

"Heehee! Jihoon added it while confessing!"

"and!"

The girl was filled with admiration and envy at the reality that something she only saw in dramas had happened without her knowledge.

"What ring is it?!"

"This? It's an emerald!"

"Puhup!"

The teacher, who was happily listening to the children's love stories, couldn't hold back and gushed while drinking water from a thermos.

"Eh, emerald...?!"

I can't believe it.

"I, Nayoung...! Seo, can the teacher just take a look?"

"A ring?"

"Uh, uhm..."

"Yes! It's okay!"

"Is it really... an emerald?"

The teacher carefully accepted the ring and looked closely at the ring, which had a large, brilliant blue emerald gem embedded in a cubic shape.

"It's quite big and looks like an expensive emerald... but more than anything..."

I took my eyes off the emerald.

Now we are headed towards the part surrounding the ring and emerald.

"This all looks like diamonds..."

The rest was all diamond.

"You...received this?"

"Yes! It's pretty!"

"It's not just about being pretty..."

The teacher also glanced at me with a face full of envy.

"Ugh."

Soon, he sighed deeply and returned to his seat.

"Next question..."

The words of a teacher who strangely lost motivation.

"Me! Me!"

The children, who did not yet have much knowledge about precious metals, did not feel relative deprivation like the teacher did.

*

My first lunch at a new school.

They said that third graders would eat first, so there was quite a bit of time left before we, first graders, could eat.

As soon as lunch time comes, the kids come to Nayoung, who is sitting next to Jihoon, like ghosts.

Nayoung paid no heed to them and lowered her buttocks onto Jihoon's lap and leaned back closely.

"Yes! Yes! Really...?! Hehe!"

Jihoon just quietly looked out the window and occasionally looked at a large, unidentifiable smartphone, as if it was not his interest and he was not curious about the content of the conversation.

So the girls who became friends with Nayoung just treated her like she wasn't there and continued the conversation among themselves.

Somehow, a group was formed, and the center of the group was Nayoung.

So the girls constantly talked only to Nayoung.

When asked what kind of male idol she likes, Nayoung gives a single-minded answer, saying she doesn't know any idols and the only one she likes is Jihoon.

When asked what her favorite food is, Nayoung eats everything without any consideration, but doesn't she say that it tastes better when she eats it with Jihoon?

Nayoung's entire subject became Jihoon.

"Then did you two kiss?"

"..."

"..."

Even if you try to close your ears, you can't close them completely.

Even if I tried to ignore it and looked out the window, I couldn't help but hear it.

Perhaps that's why Jihoon's body trembled slightly when asked if he had ever kissed, and Nayoung's body also stiffened.

"Uh, huh...? You really haven't tried it? You two?"

"Well... I did it... two, two times...?"

"Only twice? Why? I heard you've been together for a long time?"

Every word pierced my heart like a dagger.

Jihoon may only look small on the outside, but his contents are already worn out.

Even if it is worn out, there is a line that must be maintained. Because of that line, I couldn't continue progress with Nayoung. Nayoung didn't show any reaction, wondering if she wanted to go out with Jihoon or if she didn't know.

That was the reason why we ended up dating like that and without making any progress.

"for a moment..."

Nayoung got down from Jihoon's lap.

"Jihoon."

"huh.....?"

"I'll be back before I go to eat!"

With those words, Nayoung left the class with her friends.

We found a space with few people and pushed the kids in, and the kids who had been dragged in joined in as Nayoung led them.

"Have I ever kissed you… no, a lot…"

"But why did you react like that earlier?"

"Well... I only did it secretly when Jihoon was sleeping. He, hehe..."

I smiled awkwardly and scratched my head.

"It's amazing. It looks like we might have had sex, but we couldn't even officially kiss."

"Three, sex!"

I was shocked and blushed bright red at the unhesitatingly obscene words.

"Have you ever had sex?"

"Oh, no..."

The girl who mentioned sex also blushed and avoided her eyes.

"So. Why did you bring us here?"

"Hehe. If that's... dating, what do you do?"

"what.....?"

"This is my first and last time dating, so I don't know what to do. Jihoon doesn't seem to know either. So… I'm going to ask for some advice… hehe."

Part of me was planning to risk my embarrassment and get help from my new friends.

"I want to kiss Jihoon. Kissing, yes, if you can, sex… hehe!"

These kids may help you make your dreams come true!

"Sorry..."

Contrary to expectations, one person apologized profusely.

"I've never been in a relationship before…"

"I don't have one either?"

"Ugh... Don't look at me!"

Nayoung's plan to seek advice and develop a deeper relationship with Jihoon was ruined.
