Chapter 49
49. Muddy spoon (3)
1.
Wednesday is usually the day when school ends early, and because of that, it is also a day when students make many appointments.
Among those Wednesdays, today is a special day.
The day when classes end at the 4th period due to school schedule problems.
Few people listened attentively in class, and during break time, the classroom was buzzing with the sound of making all sorts of appointments.
Even in the midst of that, Min A-rin and I maintained a quiet atmosphere.
Even though class ended early, until it was break time. The conversation continued, but not loudly.
Together, we were looking at Min Ah-rin’s notebook with a serious expression and moving her ballpoint pen.
I borrowed Min Ah-rin’s red pen, and Min Ah-rin held her own blue ballpoint pen, and took turns writing something in her notebook.
… ….
We are.
I was in the middle of putting a concave.
“Ah, Min Ah-rin. There aren’t enough seats.”
“That’s right. Just sleep.”
After saying that, Min Ah-rin picked up her sharpie and drew her vertical lines.
Since the horizontal lines were already drawn on the notebook, it was quite convenient to create a checkerboard pattern.
“Um… oh, there were three here.”
“Ah! Did you see that?!”
“Of course you can see it. The board is so small.”
Min Ah-rin drools after hearing her words.
Somehow. It felt funny to see us seriously working on such a cheap concave.
Not that it’s bad. Because it’s fun.
It wasn’t a day when I was so focused.
In my past life, on days when I couldn’t concentrate like this, I would just study until I could concentrate.
Today, of course, I thought so.
I keep feeling like I’m losing my roots these days.
There was a thought that even in this part, we had to find the old image.
But Min Ah-rin’s concave proposal was faster.
I wondered what he was doing because he kept doing strange things to his notes, but he started playing the game without giving me a chance to refuse.
What. Anyway.
Min Ah-rin has a smile on her face today depending on what makes her happy.
Is it because it ended early?
Or maybe her concave has worked in her favor and she’s only laughing like that for now.
“Han Seung-gi, if you give up now, I’ll put up with you overnight. The price… How about a ticket?”
Minah Lin said while touching her own forehead.
Perhaps it was because she had been beaten by me so far, her forehead was red.
I didn’t hit that hard because I adjusted my strength, but it’s like that because I was hit so many times.
Anyway, did you like the wish ticket I gave you that much?
Since the last time, the frequency of talking about the right to wish has been high.
I thought about that and found a number that I could win.
If you make this move, 4 will be connected diagonally and the victory condition will be met.
“No matter where you block now~ I will win~.”
“Really?”
“Of course… uh… um…. Now, wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong? Did you see anything unusual?”
“Ugh…”
The smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
Perhaps she also found the numbers I saw.
But then.
Min Ah-rin sat on a chair next to me.
Her breast touched my body again.
Slightly hot energy rises from your body.
I don’t know why she’s like this these days, but she doesn’t seem to care much about this because she’s a woman from the reverse world.
I also have a hard time losing self-control these days.
Min Ah-rin stretched out her hand and started pointing at her intaglio.
With her hand, she covered the number I saw, pointing only to parts that seemed useless.
“Wouldn’t it be helpful if I put it here… Later? Or here? Can I tell you something?”
If you glance at her side, Min Ah-rin looks like she is expecting something.
You’re doing all sorts of things to beat me.
I was playful with her and put her headlock on her.
Recently, there have been more cases of her body bumping into me, but I’m embarrassed to be alone…… Are you embarrassed?
It’s okay to joke around like this with friends.
Min Ah-rin’s face, surrounded by her arms and armpits, was buried in my chest, and I drew the number I saw earlier.
Of course, the red mark on Min Ah-rin’s forehead got a little darker.
I used a bit of strength this time.
Even though her forehead was hit, her entire face was slightly red and she put on a guilty expression, but she soon returned to her same smile as before.
“Do you have anything fun to do today?”
“Huh? Why?”
“I hope you are smiling today.”
“Me?!”
“Yes.”
Did she not even know?
“After school… I have something to look forward to.”
“Didn’t we go to the mart together after finishing?”
“That’s the case… But can you tell me what it is? Especially if it’s you…”
“No, it’s fine.”
“Huh? That, but…”
“Isn’t it personal? You don’t have to tell me.”
This time with a sullen expression.
He is a very colorful person.
“What is it?”
“That… Later… I was thinking of writing a wish ticket…”
“The one I gave you?”
“Uh! That. That…, Is it okay…?”
“I just gave it to you to use. How about it?”
“That’s a little bit of a wish… I think you might hate it…”
“I don’t care about anything related to my body. I can do anything.”
“Mo, what about the body! It’s not like that! I really do anything though? Is there anything I can do?”
At this point, I’m curious.
The reason I didn’t bother to ask about the wish is because I’ll find out later anyway.
“But, if you say you don’t like me anyway, you won’t.”
“Hmm… It’s not like that…”
“Okay. Feel free to do it. It won’t be a big deal.”

I said that with a smile.
Min Ah-rin is very considerate, and she has some meticulous parts, so she shouldn’t have to worry.
2.
After school, we had to walk for quite some time.
Min Ah-rin asked me for guidance as to whether she had never been to a mart before, and the only mart I knew was the one near her house.
I took her to her department store, which is 20 minutes away from her school, which is not close to her school.
Twenty minutes is too close to me, but not to Min Ah-rin.
It’s a department store. Surprisingly, department stores tend to have cheaper prices than supermarkets.
I think the market is the best option, but it’s almost an hour and twenty minutes from school.
A department store would be very suitable for Min Ah-rin.
That’s how we arrived at the department store.
We went down to the grocery store and pulled out a cart.
“Isn’t it supposed to be about 100 won in a cart? I think it was like that when I was young?”
“Well, I haven’t been to the department store.”
I couldn’t give you an answer because it wasn’t my place to come.
“Oh, I’ll pull the cart!”
“You decided to buy the ingredients.”
“No, well, that’s true, but… No matter how hard it is to make a boy pull it…”
“Do I look underpowered?”
“No. I’m a little bit unaware of others…”
I don’t think it’s just that reason.
But it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand that others noticed.
The two students seem to be the same age, but a man pulling a cart alone might look a little awkward from the perspective of the reverse world.
I decided to concede a little this time.
Since I came to the reverse world, I thought it would be good to know how to step back to some extent in such trivial matters.
Of course.
Very little.
“Is this right…?”
“How are you?”
We decided to just drag it along.
To be honest, I don’t want to have a woman push a cart and go around alone.
It’s a feeling of discomfort stemming from cultural differences.
What.
At places like the tasting corner.
“Oh, Seunggi Han, try one of these. It’s delicious.”
“Um… Well, that’s fine.”
“Isn’t it okay? Ayu… A pretty couple, they taste good too!”
“That… Not a couple…”
“It’s on sale, so buy it if you’re interested! It would be perfect if my boyfriend grilled it deliciously!”
Unfortunately, I also received a misunderstanding.
Min Ah-rin tried to refute it pretty hard, but she didn’t think it was that big of a deal.
People can misunderstand.
I also had to be careful with Min Ah-rin trying to buy useless food.
He kept reaching out for things like tteokgalbi, chicken nuggets, or assorted sashimi in the seafood section.
The reason was also strange.
‘That… , My dad only cooks beef these days….’
‘Isn’t beef good?’
‘I’ve been eating only that for over a week. It’s all different, but….’
Hmm.
I didn’t know because I hadn’t eaten beef in over a week.
In the end, I bought about two bags of frozen tteokgalbi.
She said she wanted to eat it for a snack herself.
There is no reason to stop that.
So, after buying the ingredients, we went out of the department store.
“Min Ah-rin, are you going home now?”
“Um… That’s…”
“It would be better to quickly put the tteokgalbi in the refrigerator.”
“That…”
Min Ah-rin was unable to speak and kept mumbling.
She began to speak her words little by little.
“Han Seung-gi.”
“Yes.”
“Remember what I said…?”
“A while ago? Um…. Ah, is that the wish ticket?”
“Yeah… Um… That…”
“Tell me. Everything is fine.”
“No, this might sound a little strange.”
“Uh.”
“Can I go over to your house?”
“Huh…?”
It was a very embarrassing wish.
To the extent that cold sweats flowed from his back.
I also thought it would be better if I heard it wrong.
“It can be a little burdensome if no one is at home…, I just go to a friend’s house once in a while…”
Min Ah-rin said something, but I didn’t hear that.
Coming over to my house?
There is no way it will end just by showing the house.
It is impossible not to say anything at the sight of our house.
I didn’t want to tell my friends about my circumstances.
At least in this life, I didn’t want to do that, and it was even more so with Min Ah-rin.
I just wanted to be a close friend, not someone who wants pity.
People who found out about my situation kept trying to give me something.
It didn’t end very well with the people who kept giving me something like that.
“If it’s burdensome… I have other wishes…”
“……. What else…?”
“You usually save money. I wonder if there is a special reason.”
I laughed when I heard that.
How can all the wishes be like that?
Anyway.
I need to think about it.
