It’s been two weeks since I quarreled with Sohee. Until now, Sohee and I did not sit together or even talk.

Conversely, I was able to get closer to Si-hyeon… Maybe it was because he hid his true feelings to the end, and Si-hyeon had been quite wary of me.

‘The feeling of love seems to have disappeared, but if we stay close like this, I will someday…’

I wandered the streets dreaming of a dream that was difficult to come true. Especially when Sihyun walks around the house…

“Oh, Sihyun-ah!”

Once every three days, he succeeds in meeting Si-hyeon. And now that we met, I approached Si-hyeon by pretending to be a coincidence.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s Yerin’s birthday soon, so let’s go buy a present.”

It’s Han Ye-rin’s birthday. It’s an unwelcome anniversary, but thanks to it, it seems like we’ve got an excuse to go together.

“Really? Then I’ll go with you.”

“Why are you…”

“You’re buying a present, so I’m going to buy it too. Can’t you?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Maybe it was because she was going to buy Han Ye-rin’s gift, and Si-hyeon willingly allowed it. After that, we took a bus to the city center.

‘Sihyeon and I alone in the city… It feels like we’re back in our dating days.’

I grabbed Shihyeon’s hand and walked in accordance with her footsteps.

While enjoying his warmth, I asked in a curious voice.

“But what are you going to buy me as a gift?”

“Necklace. There is a store I looked into when I bought a coupling last time.”

“Yeah, that’s right…”

A low, unfamiliar feeling stirred in my heart. But it was because my heart was worn out to the point that I felt no pain, just my stomach churning.

“It has arrived.”

After following Sihyeon, I arrived at a jewelry store.

A shop with a variety of colorful accessories. Thinking that the two of them matched the coupling here, why is it uncomfortable in my stomach?

“Welcome. What are you looking for?”

“I’m trying to find some necklaces.”

“I’ll guide you.”

A smiling female staff led us to the place where the necklace was displayed. Pearl necklace, gold chain necklace, silver necklace, etc. A variety of necklaces filled my vision, making it difficult to even count.

“It’s okay to try it yourself, so choose slowly.”

“thank you.”

The female employee left, and Si-hyeon looked around the necklace while stroking her chin.

“Which necklace would suit Yerin well? It would be easier to find out if you walk by yourself, but I don’t know because I’m not by your side.”

Shihyeon regretted saying that if she had known it would be like this, she would have come with her. Then I invited him by pulling the hem of his robe.

“Then why don’t I walk? It’s the same woman, so it’ll be easy to refer to.”

“to you..?”

I brought the necklace I was holding from Shi-hyeon, who hesitated.

‘It would be great if you walk yourself..’

I hung the necklace on my own with a feeling of regret. I like the design because it was chosen by Shihyeon.

“Now, is this easy to understand?”

I trimmed my hair to make the necklace stand out more. Si-hyeon, who looked at me carefully, handed me another necklace and said:

“Surely so. I think we should compare. Can you give me this too?”

“Yeah, of course.”

I handed the necklace I was wearing and hung the necklace I received. At the sight of Shihyeon looking at only me, her whole body heats up to the point of shivering.

Sihyeon said with a bright smile as her face heated up and she twirled her hair with her fingers.

“I think this one is prettier.”

“Yeah, okay? Then let’s do this.”

Putting the other necklaces back in place, I counted the necklaces I picked. The employee who put the necklace in the case looked at me and smiled brightly.

“I think I’m going to give it to my girlfriend. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

“yes..?”

The bewildered eyes of Sihyun and I met. A situation in which they just stare at each other and blink. Shihyeon waved her hand at the smiling employee.

“No. He and I are just normal friends.

“..that’s right, he has a girlfriend.”

The employee covered his mouth and said sorry. He seemed to feel guilty about the mistake, but I felt rather happy.

‘They look like a couple..’

In the hope that people will misunderstand even more, I grabbed Sihyun’s left hand. Then I asked him to go to the cafe.

“Sihyun-ah, ask for what you always ate.”

“okay.”

Shihyeon ordered iced americano and cheesecake. I still remember what I liked, so the corners of my mouth went up.

click.

I asked as I sat down and took a sip of Iced Americano.

“..How is Yerin these days?”

Shihyeon’s complexion darkened rapidly.

“I don’t know. Lately, I’ve been sleeping more and eating less..”

“Even if you eat less, you eat more than an adult male.”

“That’s right. But compared to the amount I usually eat, it’s a bit too short, so I’m worried.”

“I see..”

Seeing Shihyeon suffer, my heart aches too. I wanted to comfort her by hugging her, but I still had to keep the proper line as a friend.

“It’s okay. Yerin will get better as time goes by.”

“Is that so too?”

Shihyeon’s face brightened slightly, and I nodded to him who said thank you.

While I was eating the cheesecake, this time Sihyun asked a question.

“By the way, did you and Sohee fight? You’ve been going separately lately.”

“Yes..”

Could you please ask me this When I answered, Shihyeon let out a shallow sigh.

“I won’t ask you why, but make up as soon as possible. How much Sohee loves you.”

“I’ll try…”

lied Because I had no intention of trying to reconcile with Sohee. The moment you become friends with her again, you will end your relationship with Sihyun.

While weighing Shihyeon and Sohee, he drank coffee and showed a caring face.

“Yes. If you have any concerns, please consult us anytime.”

“thank you..”

After leaving the cafe, I bought cosmetics as a birthday present. And around the time we parted, I handed the purchased cosmetics to Si-hyun and said:

“Tell me this to Yerin. It’s my birthday, so I should spend it with my lover.”

“Thank you. I’ll be sure to tell you.”

I want to be with you on my birthday, but the time has not come yet.

Since Si-hyeon couldn’t win her heart, interrupting a date just the two of them would be an act of out-of-sight.

***

birthday day.

Shihyeon headed to Yerin’s house early in the morning. He looked at the gift in his hand with delighted eyes and visited his girlfriend’s house hoping that he would be happy to accept it.

“I’m here..?”

It’s my birthday, so why are you making such a haggard face?

Si-hyeon looked at the orange juice bottles scattered around and approached Ye-rin.

“You look weak. Have you eaten?”

“No, not yet…”

“Yes. Then shall we eat together?”

“Later, now I have no appetite…”

Erin laughed helplessly. Then with your head bowed. I asked, tapping with my finger the paper cup filled with orange juice.

“..Sihyun-ah, do you like me?”

“Why are you asking something obvious.. What happened?”

Erin shook her head. She looked at the vision with her trembling pupils, and said cautiously.

“You like me. Can you tell me directly?

Today’s Yerin was somewhat unstable. Si-hyeon hugged her with a heartbreaking feeling. Then he whispered in a friendly voice.

“I like you, Han Yerin.”

“Once more.”

“I like you.”

“more.”

“I like you.”

Shihyeon faithfully fulfilled Yerin’s continued request. Around 20 conversations that looked like macros.

Yerin asked with a trembling voice.

“Then, no matter what, I won’t leave you?”

“Say something that makes sense. It’s not enough to keep you by my side for the rest of my life, so why did I leave you?”

At Shihyeon’s friendly remarks, Yerin started sobbing while holding her in her arms.

What happened to make you so anxious? Shihyeon wiped her back and waited patiently for her to speak.

and.

Yerin escaped from Shihyeon’s arms. Her face was filled with tears and she snorted.

“Sihyun-ah, it’s me.. These days, even just smelling the food makes me feel sick..”

“Yeah.. I haven’t been feeling very well lately. Have you been to the hospital?”

Yerin nodded and continued.

“I went to a nearby internal medicine clinic..”

“What does the doctor say? Is it a serious illness?”

“No, that’s not it…”

Unclean Yerin grabbed Shihyeon’s chest. As if to show her impatience, Yerin’s hands were trembling non-stop.

Shihyeon said, clasping her hands.

“Trust me and tell me honestly. No matter what you say, I will accept it.”

Yerin, who had hesitated, nodded again. She remained still with her mouth open, and continued with a smirk.

“Well, the doctor told me to go see a gynecologist..”

“Obstetrics and gynecology..?”

“Yeah. Recently, menstruation..”

Yerin’s voice gradually became quieter, and Shihyeon realized the sense of incongruity she had felt until now.

I have trouble digesting food, I feel nauseous every time I smell food, and I often crave sour food.

‘This is an early symptom of pregnancy.’

Shi-hyeon’s head goes white. By the time he looked at Yerin’s stomach, who had been frozen in place.

At that moment, Yerin, who was stroking her lower belly, put a wedge in his ear.

“Sihyun-ah.. I think we have a baby between the two of us..”
