My Sunday

Two slender legs ran past many people who were strolling along the canal, admiring the blooming Mukunghwa bushes, some with their families. Some came with a group of friends. And not least the couple accompanied by a lover, white clouds in the blue sky and light pink Mukunghwa petals moving slowly along the gentle breeze.

It is like a still picture because these environments move very little as a backdrop for a young girl who is running without keeping her eyes open until she reaches the canal. She slowly slows her pace due to tiredness but still tries to move forward quickly as if her legs are tangled. Shortness of breath Her long black hair was messy and a little broken. She used her other hand to fix it in place.

Before reaching the destination soon Her face looked frightened. She let out a breath from her mouth, reducing her nervousness and deciding to ring the bell to call the owner of the house ahead.

“Arrived late”

“Sorry, I was about to walk out of the store. Chao Yeo Jin accidentally spilled some of the customer's cocoa and had to quickly apologize. Wipe clean I barely made a new glass in time..” People who arrived late didn't fail to smile, begging for sympathy as the sweat swayed down the front line from the hot weather and the sun was still bright even though it was almost five o'clock.

“Jeon Hee Jin” has been working part-time at a cat cafe for almost a year, except for this summer break when she asked to do it full-time. As for the cause of being late Yeo Jin is a mischievous little kitten who just joined the shop. In fact, being a student, you just have to study hard, that's enough, except for kids like Hee Jin who really don't like studying. who want to have income

Because the plan was to save up some money to travel abroad next year, the girl in front of Hee Jin Slightly taller and slimmer than her, her face was furrowed into a frown that didn't show any signs of loosening. She left the door open and turned back into the house, letting the guests follow in and closing the door herself. It's a small house, but it looks spacious because it's clean and airy.

Heejin walked slowly, peeking at the slender figure who was preparing something in the kitchen. She slowly walked over and hugged the familiar figure tightly. Ready to rest his face on the other person's shoulder, the other person was startled slightly. But when he found out it was Heejin, he remained silent and didn't care and continued preparing snacks.

“Prince Hyunjin.”

Heejin turned his head and called the name of the person he was hugging. Just a few more centimeters and her round nose will collide with that of her best friend, “Kim Hyun Jin.” The owner of the name still has a smooth face. Hee Jin often says that Hyun Jin is like a cat and sometimes treats her like one. Like calling names with ye in front, etc.

"It's a mess. Don't you see what you're doing?"

Hyunjin answered quietly. Heejin saw the grimace on his face and wanted to tease him. He didn't hesitate and quickly rubbed his rounded nose against the other's slender neck until Hyunjin couldn't stand the ticklishness and had to let out a loud giggle. Heejin still held tight and didn't let go. Until Hyunjin had to turn around to face that mischievous smile.

“Disappointed.”

“Oh, all right.”

Hyunjin smiled. No matter how cute the person in front of you was, it didn't take long for him to be stubborn and then be defeated by the look in these little dogs' eyes. Every time Heejin heard it, he had the heart to reach forward and come closer. Staring into Hyunjin's slender eyes, it was as if there was some kind of attraction that made him unable to tear his eyes away from each other. Heejin's eyes became more intense. Hyunjin agreed to let Heejin do what he wanted.

Even though I felt brave, I wanted to feel the feelings Heejin was trying to convey.

The two of them sat opposite each other on the floor, separated by a low coffee table. The orange juice in the glass and the cookies on the plate were almost gone. Heejin lightly tapped the pencil against his forehead, believing it would crack some sort of answer after having been mulling over this English question for nearly ten minutes. It was the one she had left out.

Skip to complete another item in the exercise and come back to having a headache over it again. Hyunjin looked at Heejin without batting an eye. English is the subject Heejin is weakest in. That's why she asks Hyunjin for tutoring every Saturday evening.

“It's all mixed up.”

“Just mess around with principles. You thought it through, right?”

“He hesitated!”

“Count to three. Let me decide. Answer any questions, okay?"

“Uh huh.”

“One… two… three… the answer is…”

Heejin loosened his expression and began to smile. The woman looked up from her exercise book and prepared to confidently voice her answer. Hyunjin waited anxiously to hear the answer, praying that it would be the correct answer between the two questions that Heejin was hesitating about.

"you"

“What?”

“The answer is you.”

Hyunjin's face turned red as the other spoke clearly, without the slightest hint of embarrassment. Hyunjin didn't understand why Heejin kept talking like this to her. She didn't like the way she felt. Gets excited even though he's a consistent person but likes that he feels good about Heejin always doing things like this.

“Don't play yet.”

“I haven't played much.”

“Jeon Hee Jin!” Hee Jin couldn't hold back his laughter when he was called out in full uniform. Hyun Jin was too cute. It was difficult to restrain myself from teasing even though there was no further reaction.

“Alright,” Heejin answered with hesitation in his heart but still acted confident.

“Answer A, right?”

Hyunjin let out a small smile of satisfaction when Heejin's answer was as she expected.

"correct! At first you were hesitant, weren't you? Because these two points seemed to be correct. But if you look at the context of the speaker and the interlocutor's response, then you have to answer A. Because the speaker is in a lower status, it is more appropriate to use sentence A. You can't overlook the little things. You have to read them and observe carefully."

Heejin didn't just like Hyunjin's intelligence. That's why most of her friends in class liked her and often asked to copy her homework, but for Heejin, that was just a small part. There are many things that come together to form Kim Hyun Jin: kindness, gentleness, humility, and neatness in every inch.

A bread fan, naturally affectionate, smiles easily, like a cat but is allergic to cat fur, etc. These are all things Hee Jin likes. The fangs that Hyunjin always complained about that he didn't like and wanted to sharpen were even things that Hyunjin didn't like about himself. Heejin fell in love with everything.

“Mmm.”

Heejin smiles until his face widens while the sweet face is concentrating on explaining, not paying attention at all to following the finger pointing at the explanation as he explains it in an exercise.

“I don't understand what. Please tell me quickly. Otherwise, I'll be even more confused.” Hyunjin raised his head to warn, seeing his watery eyes, he knew that Heejin wasn't listening intently. Or to speak correctly In fact, Heejin didn't have the heart to listen. More importantly, it was like this almost every time Hyunjin got a little irritated. But Heejin continued to stare at her.

“Why don't you listen? If the sentence pattern is like this, it means that the speaker is of a lower status, is that right?” Heejin is a person with a heart, but he doesn't like studying or memorizing much, causing him to be lazy to study often. Hee Jin returned her notebook to her room and said that next time don't let anyone copy it again.

The notebooks were all crumpled and there was an announcement in front of the room that anyone who would copy Hyunjin's homework would have to ask Heejin's permission from room three first. “You know how to do it yourself, you idiots. I don't know how to do it and I still can't see it!” That was the first time Heejin and Hyunjin got to know each other after seeing each other in school for so long.

“That's right..” Even though he didn't seem interested, Heejin listened attentively as always. Hyunjin was relieved. Maybe her feeling uncomfortable wasn't because Heejin didn't seem intent on studying. Or don't care about what she says sometimes, but because.. I'm embarrassed. I don't know if I should like or dislike the strange feeling that arises when Heejin gives me this look.

The sound of waves crashing onto the shore became louder as the sun brightened until only children were left playing happily in the water, while adults came to take shelter from the heat in the shops on the beach in the shade, warm but not too hot because of the sea breeze blowing. It's a lazy day on a Sunday like this. At Byeonsan Beach, it's especially crowded with people. Besides locals, it's also very popular among tourists from neighboring cities or provinces.

Hyunjin looked down at the time on his phone screen. It wouldn't be long before Heejin would arrive at the appointed time. Normally, on Sundays, Hyunjin usually stayed at home studying to prepare for exams. But after getting to know Hee Jin, her Sundays were always spent going anywhere according to Hee Jin's invitation because it was also a day when the cat cafe was closed. Hyunjin took in a deep breath, the sea breeze was stronger than ever and he had to hold onto his long hair.

“Hyunjin!” Heejin waved his hand in greeting from far away before accelerating his steps closer and closer. His heart pounded faster when he saw Hyunjin's face clearly as she gathered her long hair and held it in one hand. Jin was wearing a white one-piece with a light blue cardigan over it. Heejin extended his hand and the person in front of him grabbed it knowingly.

The two of them walked together into the beach area. The large group of male teenagers looked after Heejin and Hyunjin before letting out gossiping sounds that soon turned into cheers. The group pushed out a thin man. He walked over and walked slowly after them. before rushing ahead

“Uh.. what do you say, Heejin?”

Heejin immediately recognized him as Jung Jaehyun, a young athlete in his class.

“Hey Jaehyun, are you coming to visit?”

“Yes, with friends from the football club.” Jaehyun pointed towards the group. Most of the group had seen each other's faces before. In the school, there were both seniors and juniors in the school.

“And this person… is your friend?” Yeonjin squeezed Heejin's hand tightly.

“Yes, Hyunjin, room one.” Hyunjin turned her eyes sharply to see Heejin who had cut her off to introduce her instead.

“Yes, I saw you often when I was at school. But I don't know the name. Hello, I'm Jaehyun, class three."

“Hello..” Hyunjin replied.

"Let's not be subtle. You are.. very cute. Do you have an ID card?"

“……..”Hyunjin squeezed Heejin’s hand again. It seemed like he was sending a signal to Heejin and quickly cut him off.

“Sorry, Jaehyun. We were in a hurry.” Heejin raised his eyebrows and smiled before pulling his female friend to continue walking but was stopped. Hyunjin met Heejin's eyes for a moment. It was the moment when the whole world stopped turning.

"I'm sorry. There's just someone I like."

“Hyunjin.. what do you say?”

Hyunjin politely turned away from Jaehyun and bowed softly to him. apologetic Jaehyun smiled and nodded in response, his expression looking disappointed and not following to bother him again. Hee Jin's brain spun when he heard this. Hyunjin said that he already has someone he likes.

They walked hand in hand for a while and Heejin's hands started to get more and more sweaty. Hyunjin then pulled away, laughing softly until her adorable fangs appeared. She raised Heejin's hand and held it gingerly before taking out a handkerchief from her shoulder bag and carefully wiping the sweat from her palm. and put the handkerchief into the bag as before

“Thank you, darling.”

"Every time, I've never seen my hands sweat so much like this. Are they really hot? Do you want to rest?"

“You can stand here and rest in the shade for a moment.”

“Uh huh.”

“Jaehyun is handsome.”

“Huh, I wasn't interested in Jaehyun at all, and this is taking so long. Until I understand.”

“I thought he might just be interested.”

“What if he copies my homework again?”

“No! I will absolutely not allow anyone to touch Kim Hyun Jin's homework.”

“Ah, protect me like this forever.” Hyunjin grabbed Heejin's arm and hugged him loosely.

“With honor as a Girl Scout”

Heejin doesn't want to think about herself. She has always been the one teasing and being vague with Hyunjin, wanting to be more than friends. But I'm afraid that the other party doesn't think like that. Feeling guilty that he felt innocent, maybe it would be better if Heejin would keep a little distance from Hyunjin even if he didn't want to.

Actions always go faster than thoughts. Heejin's hand gently tucks a stray strand of hair into Hyunjin's. Only this pair of eyes could be attracted to each other like this. Hyunjin smiled. Heejin also smiled.

“Hyun Jin-ah, who is the person you like?” He acted like it was a normal question but was scared to death.

"What? You really don't know?"

“How do you know? They're in the same class, they're the same age. Have I seen your face?”

“Yes.. yes, same age.”

Heejin narrowed his eyes and looked across the sea. He crossed his arms over his chest and thought about the people in his class that Hyunjin might have a crush on. He didn't want to think about it. But if I didn't know, I would definitely die on the beach.

“Think that hard.”

“In case he was the person who used to copy your homework. Do you like fake people?” Heejin smiled sadly and cheekily.

"I don't see it being relevant at all. If you really like it, I'd rather accept it than copy it."

“Kim Hyunjin!”

Hyunjin laughed.

“If you want to know… close your eyes and I will tell you.”

The young woman let out a breath from her mouth, raised her head, eyes flickering, looking at the blue sky. His lips pursed tightly and he swallowed loudly. Two slender hands gripped the hem of his own skirt tightly. When he was ready, he bent his neck slightly to look for someone who was shorter than him. The sea breeze blew through both of their black and silk hair. The first thing Heejin realized was that

The peach scent grew stronger, next to it was a soft texture. It didn't last very long, but it was the most wonderful taste Heejin had ever experienced. It was soft, warm, and gentle.

“Hee Jin-ah.... I just gave him my first kiss.”
