Ep. 54
Not only that, but she seemed to have read the other scenes with great interest, showing them to me one by one.
Seeing her excitedly explaining to me, saying things like, “This would be good, that would be good,” I felt like I absolutely had to do it.
The thought of trying to block her with a Pepero [a popular Korean chocolate-covered biscuit stick] in my mouth flashed through my mind, but it was a futile effort since I would end up doing it anyway.
In the end, I decided to leave tomorrow’s problems to tomorrow’s me. I grabbed Heena’s hand, who was chattering away beside me, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
-Chu [kissing sound effect]
“What? Are you doing it already?”
Heena said, her eyes sparkling.
Was this also from the comic book? I just did it on her hand because it felt weird to do it on her lips while we were talking.
Still, I acted as if I knew all along and said nonchalantly.
“How is it? Do you like it?”
“I love it so much!”
“Then close your eyes this time.”
“Huh?”
“Hurry.”
As Heena obediently closed her eyes at my words, I tucked her side hair behind her ear and bit her small earlobe.
“Hiyak!!”
She trembled as if she was having a seizure.
“Is there something like this?”
“The..there is..”
There’s even something like this? What the heck is that comic?
Anyway, she kept her eyes closed while trembling. As I tucked her hair back again, I brought my mouth close to her ear and whispered.
“From this point on, tomorrow at this time.”
“What do you mean there’s something like that!”
She flinched slightly, perhaps because my breath tickled her ear, and then frowned and protested at those words.
The way she clenched her fists and spoke, seemingly angry, was quite cute, but. That’s that. This is this.
“You said you’d use the wish ticket tomorrow, right?”
“Then just do it for me!”
“Esteemed customer, the next service is scheduled for tomorrow..”
“Do it~ Please?”
She clung to my arm and acted cute, but I refused firmly today.
Honestly, we did so much with the Pepero today. To the point where my lips were a little chapped.
After acting cute for a while, she opened her mouth, seemingly sulking when I didn’t give in.
“Just you wait until tomorrow.”
“Let’s not do that already, since we’re going to do a lot tomorrow..”
“It would be nice to do it today and tomorrow too!”
“Hmm…”
To be honest, I wouldn’t mind doing more if she wanted it that much, but it’s a bit awkward to change my mind.
Still, there were endless ways to appease her.
Because Heena is easy.
“We did a lot today, so I just want to hug you. Is that not okay?”
As I said that and opened my arms, she quickly came into my embrace.
“If that’s the case, then I can’t help it…”
I wrapped my arms around Heena, who was saying that as if she was letting me off the hook, and gently stroked her hair.
It’s about time Heesung hyung [older brother or male friend] comes back. He said he’d buy us dinner, I wonder what we’ll eat. I think I can eat a little more.
“Should we give the remaining Pepero to Heesung hyung?”
“Okay~”
After that, Heesung hyung came back, and we laughed for a long time at his disgusted reaction to the Pepero we gave him. There were a lot of Pepero with rather unique flavors left.
Then, the three of us talked and played, ate the chicken that hyung bought, and came back home.
Leaving Heena, who asked if she could sleep over. Sleeping over is one thing, but letting her sleep in my room is a bit…
I convinced her that she needed to prepare the couple outfits for tomorrow and slipped away.
I couldn’t let my guard down for a moment.

The next day, Sunday morning. I met Heena early and arrived at the subway station.
Today, we met wearing the couple outfits we had matched during our date last week. It wasn’t anything grand, Heena was wearing a black skirt that came above her knees and a white oversized sweatshirt, and I was wearing black slacks and a white oversized sweatshirt as well.
The design on the chest was the same, so if we were walking hand in hand, anyone could tell we were a couple.
However, it was a bit revealing from below Heena’s skirt to above her crew socks, so I was a little worried she might be cold, but. Fortunately, the weather was fairly cool today, so it seemed like it would be okay.
Anyway, it would have been nice if we had met at the subway station and immediately taken the subway.
“Let’s do it on the next, next timing. Why are there so many people?”
As soon as we got down to the subway platform, Heena led me to the wall as if urging me. And I was hesitating in front of Heena, who was standing against the platform wall.
Because there were quite a few people waiting for the subway than I thought.
“I’ll take the pictures.”
“I just need to focus on this, right?”
“Yeah~”
Saying that, Heena was holding her phone with the camera turned on, and I watched the people getting on the subway that had just arrived for a moment.
Soon after the subway left, I checked that the surroundings were deserted.
I put one arm against the wall and made eye contact with Heena. As I watched her slowly close her eyes, I gradually approached and touched my lips to hers.
-Click, click, click
As soon as our lips touched, I heard the sound of pictures being taken from the side. It seemed like it was set to continuous shooting, as it continued in succession.
In fact, the photos were more important than the kiss at that moment. Perhaps that’s why, as soon as we parted our lips, Heena immediately checked the photos.
“They came out well~ I have to make this my profile picture!”
“Heena, that’s a bit… a bit embarrassing..”
A wall kiss profile picture.
“No. I’m going to do it. You have to do it too, Yeonhoo!”
“Really?”
“Really!”
She turned her head away and said that as if she wouldn’t tolerate any back talk.
I sighed at that sight and glanced at the picture. Heena, leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, and me, kissing her with my eyes closed, were captured very clearly.
I closed my eyes at the moment of the kiss, but the shaking of my eyelids wasn’t visible, and it was captured properly, so the picture definitely came out well, but.
I was afraid of the aftermath.
“Yeonhoo, phone.”
“We’re going to take more later, so can’t we just look at them all together? There might be a better picture.”
“Phone.”
“Your current profile picture is really good too. You look so pretty, Heena..”
“Phone.”
“Here you go.”
I couldn’t resist her, as she said that with a smile that didn’t waver in the slightest.
In the end, I had to watch as even my profile picture was changed to the wall kiss photo from earlier.
“Shall we go now?”
“Let’s do that..”
I shouldn’t open Tok [Korean messaging app] today.

Perhaps because it was the weekend that included Pepero Day, the station connected to the amusement park was very crowded.
For fear of getting separated, I held Heena’s hand tightly and entered after purchasing our day passes.
The amusement park, which I was visiting for the first time this year, had something that made my heart flutter just by being there.
In fact, I do ride the rides, but I’m a bit scared, but. These kinds of places are originally about enjoying the atmosphere.
“Heena, what do you want to do? Is there anything you want to ride?”
“It’ll be hard to ride a lot of things because there are so many people, so let’s take our time and look around.”
“Okay. Then let’s do that.. Are you going to buy that?”
“Ear headband? Of course!”
The first place we stopped after entering was none other than the souvenir shop.
Heena had wanted to wear headbands together for a while. But it’s a bit much to wear them on regular dates, so we had only promised to do it if we ever came to an amusement park.
Heena was holding a white cat ear headband and a brown dog ear headband with the ears folded in half.
I wanted to pay for this, but when she told me that she had used hyung’s card to buy our day passes, she insisted on buying everything today.
I had said that I would do it since she had bought a lot of Pepero yesterday, but she wouldn’t listen at all.
In the end, I couldn’t break Heena’s stubbornness and ended up wearing the headband she bought.
“Yeonhoo, look over here!”
“Does it look good?”
“So cute!”
I made a V-shape with my hands while wearing the headband and rested my chin on top of it. Heena was constantly saying it was cute and taking pictures of me.
And then, I also took pictures of Heena, the heart-attack-inducing cat, wearing the cat ears.
“Meow for me!!”
“Meow…meow..”
I also tried making Heena do things like that after switching to video recording.
The key point of this video is that Heena is embarrassed. Heena’s appearance, wearing a cat ear headband and meowing with a flushed face, was truly precious enough to be priceless.
She seemed very nonchalant in the video she took and sent me last time, but it seemed like doing it live right in front of me was embarrassing.
After having a photoshoot like that for a while, we moved on to the next mission.
The second photo shoot scene is.
“A two-shot with animal headbands? Not a kiss?”
“It’s okay if you want to kiss, Yeonhoo!”
“This is fine too.”
I thought she only wanted kiss scenes, but it seems like she wanted to do these ordinary situations too.
We moved the location a bit to take pictures, came outside, and stood side by side with a building that looked like a castle in the background.
Because there were so many people passing by, we took a few selfies in the corner of the street, with the screen showing only our faces and the castle in the background.
We both took pictures with our thumbs and index fingers spread out and resting on our chins.
Heena winked in the middle, so I tried to follow along, but it wasn’t easy.
Heena was very happy looking at a picture that failed because of that.
“Pfft, what is this~ You can’t wink?”
“It’s a bit difficult? I can do it, but the other side also gets scrunched up.”
“I can just do it, so it’s hard to teach you.”
She winked at me again. I looked at her cute face for a moment, and then gently pulled her back when I saw someone coming from behind her.
There are too many people passing by.
“Should we go back inside for now? Is there anything you want to ride?”
“That! The one that goes around attached to the ceiling.”
“Ah~ What was the name. Balloon..what was it.”
This is an amusement park that is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. What Heena was talking about was probably the ride inside, hanging from the high ceiling and spinning around.
Anyway, I seemed to know what she was talking about, so I went back inside and looked at the pamphlet I had picked up at the entrance and found the ride. When we arrived, there weren’t many people waiting, perhaps because it wasn’t very popular, even on a day like this.
Thanks to that, we were able to board one together not long after.
“Wait, this is a bit scarier than I thought..?”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, it’s not to the point where I can’t ride it.. Just a moment.”
“We’re about to depart! Please do not lean your body too far out!”
Before I could finish preparing myself, it started moving slowly with the employee’s words.
I was so scared of the ride moving in a place that felt much higher than I had seen from below that I was holding Heena’s hand tightly.
And as we started to move further and further away from the starting point, I felt my legs stiffen.
Rides like roller coasters were scary, but they passed by in an instant, so it was okay. But this one was moving slowly at this height for quite a long time, which further stimulated my fear.
“I shouldn’t look down…”
“Just look at things far away. Then it’ll be a little better.”
I was a little embarrassed to show this side of me in front of my girlfriend, but honestly, scary is scary.
It was still okay as long as I was looking in a direction far away instead of down. Still, while I was standing there awkwardly, Heena suddenly grabbed my face and turned it towards her.
Then, she opened her mouth as she brought her face close as if she was kissing me.
“If you’re scared, just look at me.”
At a distance where we could feel each other’s breath, I really couldn’t see anything but Heena’s face in my eyes.
Her big eyes and small, sharp nose. Flawless, porcelain-like smooth and clean skin. Red lips that I had kissed countless times, to the point where I thought they were really mine.
As my vision was filled only with the face of my beautiful girlfriend, I felt the trembling in my chest, which had been trembling with fear, calm down surprisingly.
“Are you okay now?”
“Yeah.”
I felt like I could look at her all day long and never get tired of it. Heena was so pretty after all.
Her face is a panacea.
