Chapter 505 – Alone With Minah

“Then I’ll leave the luggage now.”

“Have a good date.”

The demon king and Sehee were together until the hotel entrance. The girls walked to the opposite side of the road from us, having conversations such as “Wouldn’t you like to go to the maid cafe today?” And “I don’t like it.”

“Jiheon.”

“Ah, yes.”

I stared blankly at her sister, then turned my attention to Mina who had called me. She called me and looked down at me from a slightly higher eye level than me.

“We will leave now.”

The brown eyes looking down at me seemed to have no emotion. However, if you look closely, Mina’s gaze at me clearly shows emotion, such as the fact that her right eye is darker.

“So, would you arm in with me?”

“Okay. Ruler.”

“Thank you, Jiheon.”

“I am more grateful. Let’s go now.”

“Yes, I understand.”

I walked down the street with Minah arm in arm. Then, unlike her usual couples, she looked up at her, her woman, and asked.

“However,”

“Jiheon.”

Before that, Minah called me and stopped her steps.

“Uh? Why?”

Her arms were not untied and she stood in her place like hers. Mina apologized to me.

“First, I apologize. Sorry.”

“Uh? Why? For what?”

“It could be an excuse, but I couldn’t prepare any special event because I was in a hurry to prepare for the trip. Sorry.”

“Oh, no. Are you okay.”

To be honest, it was a bit disappointing. It wasn’t that disappointing. Even if I paid it back later, Mina was paying for my trip. Besides, the most important thing right now wasn’t the restaurant.

“Are you okay. I like you more than that.”

“Thank you, Jiheon.”

At my words, Mina slightly raised the corner of her mouth. And then he said something I couldn’t miss.

“If I had time, I would have rented a limousine, which is a pity.”

Oh, that’s good.

“I wanted to eat at a 5-star hotel restaurant.”

I never thought I’d think I was lucky to go to the army.

“Even so, Jiheon.”

Mina, who was expressing regret, raised her head, which had been bowed down while she apologized. So she communicated her feelings without averting her eyes from me.

“I will do my best to serve you wholeheartedly.”

“No it’s okay.”

I gripped my crossed arms tighter.

“Wherever you go, I will enjoy being with you.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Huh? What do you want to know?

“All day at the motel today,”

“There won’t be!”

“Yes, I knew you would say that.”

“By the way, the motels we know in Japan are love hotels.”

“Thank you. But why did you say that?”

“Are you going to ask me to go someday?”

“Hey.”

Mina, who told her joke, smiled again and moved on.

“Then we will depart now.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

We walked down the street and looked around. Until yesterday, I had only been to the places where Mawang and Se-hee were heading, so this was the first street I had visited.

Anyway, it’s Japan after all…

Every time I turned my head, an unfamiliar Japanese sign caught my eye. It was also noticeable that the lane was on the opposite side of Korea, and the language heard everywhere was the same.

As I looked around curiously, Minah gave me a suggestion.

“Jiheon.”

“Huh?”

“Are you so excited to come to Japan?”

“Ah, what. Yes? It’s the first time I’ve been to a foreign country.”

“You didn’t even arrive today, did you?”

“It’s your first time coming here.”

While talking this far, I remembered a fact about Minah.

“But you said you came to Japan, didn’t you?”

“Yes that’s right. I came here on a business trip a few times while learning work.”

“That’s why you made fun of me when I rode the plane. They said I had to take my shoes off.”

“I’m sorry, Jiheon. Instead, I will tell you this.”

“What.”

“When you get on the plane to Korea, you have to lift her arms up when taking off,”

“Are you fooling me again! I cheated on it again!”

“Originally, you have to do that on a plane returning home. It’s my first time with Jiheon, so I don’t know.”

“I know what I know, this!”

To stop talking nonsense, he briefly waved his folded arms. Then the top of her elbow touched her chest.

“Oh, hey. Sorry.”

“No, Jiheon.”

Minah shook her head briefly and encouraged me.

“Jiheon. If you want to do it, say you want to do it.”

“Ah!”

“You know that, Jiheon. It seems more delicious to be so shy.”

“Let’s just go on a date. Huh? No?”

“Why not, Jiheon? We’re on our way to a date right now, aren’t we?”

As if it was always like that, it was cute while hating the way it pretended. I secretly laughed and waited until the laughter stopped before asking Mina.

“But where are we going now?”

“Didn’t Jiheon know?”

“Uh?”

“Yes?”

We stopped at the same time and looked at each other. Then, when I started to laugh first, Minah told me that it was a joke.

“Ah, what is it? Really.”

“I was joking, Jiheon.”

As we walked forward again, Minah told us what our plans were for today.

“The current destination is Osaka Castle. Take the subway to see Osaka Castle from about 9:00 am to 10:30 am, then move to the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living until 11:00 am. Rent a kimono there,”

“Uh uh, wait a minute.”

“Why are you like this, Jiheon? Was the explanation insufficient?”

“No, enough. It’s not enough, it’s overflowing.”

“It is an honour.”

It’s not really a compliment.

I muttered to myself, putting together what I had heard so far.

“You mean we’re going to Osaka Castle first, right? That, what kind of museum is going next.”

“Yes that’s right. Osaka Castle is followed by the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, followed by lunch. The afternoon schedule is,”

“Uh, no. Are you okay.”

“Are you saying you want to rest in a love hotel?”

“Why are you talking like that? Just let me know your afternoon schedule in the afternoon.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After being told where we were going, we walked to the nearby subway station in silence. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to talk about it, it was just because it was fun just walking together.

“Jiheon.”

“Huh?”

“Would you like to stop crossing your arms?”

It was after we arrived at the subway station that we started talking again. I went downstairs to avoid the hot sun of early July, but not a single wind blew on my forearms, which had been straining ever since I set off.

“Is that so?”

It was a little disappointing, but hot was hot. We slowly removed our arms, revealing our sweaty skin.

But, shining in the light is definitely…

“Aren’t you supposed to be together after having sex?”

“Oh little. Hey.”

“Didn’t Jiheon think so too? You can see everything.”

“No it’s not?”

“I can see you all smiling, Jiheon.”

“Oh, can you see everything?”

“Yes, I can see everything.”

It was a really useless conversation. But rather, that’s why I really liked having these conversations with Minah.

While we were talking, Mina pointed to a convenience store in the station and asked.

“Jiheon. Why don’t you buy something over there?”

“What? Do you have anything to buy?”

“The weather is hot and humid, so we expect to lose a lot of moisture. You might get heat stroke, so why don’t you buy a drink?”

“Okay? Shall we go and buy some water then?”

“Yes, that would be nice.”

I was about to go to the convenience store with Min-ah, who nodded her head saying it was good. But she didn’t go and stood still.

“What? What’s the matter?”

“Jiheon.”

Minah looked at me without moving and asked.

“Jiheon. I have a favor to ask of you. I will be fine.”

“Oh, it’s okay. What.”

“Will you listen?”

“It’s okay. What is it?”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I am serious. What.”

I was scared for nothing because Mina, who is a fast-paced person, was hesitant.

“You said you were serious, Jiheon.”

Minah, who spoke to me as if to promise me, approached me slowly. Then she told me in my ear that it was her own request.

“I’m Jiheon’s Oh instead of water.”

“Oh, get off!”

“No,” She exclaimed before she could finish her sentence. Seeing me like that, Minah looked at me and said.

“I haven’t said anything yet.”

“You listen to the end, but it’s still the same! No, did you come all the way here?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to be here? Isn’t it the country of castles, the country of seongjin?”

“That’s how it is!”

Minah, who is already serious, asked more seriously than usual, so I thought it was something big. But it was all the more absurd because the request was just that.

“Then why not?”

“Can you?”

“Yes, I understand. I will postpone it until later.”

“Don’t procrastinate!”

“Do you mean to do it now and not delay?”

“No, don’t!”

“At the love hotel?”

“… No.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Mina nodded her head saying that she understood. I stared at her like that, waited for her to come, and went into her convenience store with her.

We each bought something to drink at the convenience store, passed the ticket machine, and got off to the platform. While waiting for the subway there, we crossed our arms again.

-Rurrrr

“Jiheon. Coming.”

“Huh.”

Shortly after waiting, the train arrived. Unlike Korea, Japanese subways, which do not have screen doors, brought strong winds to the platforms.

Whiying

The wind blew Minah standing on the platform and passed me. Then she gave off her unique scent. Her cool scent was masculine, but it was a sweet scent that only women can have.

The fast-running subway slowly slowed down as it entered the platform, finally coming to a complete stop. Then the train door opened and more people than expected came out.

I looked inside the train waiting for them to get out. There are many people who get off, but there are many more who do not get off. Thinking that there would be no empty seats, I talked to Mina.

“But there are a lot of people. I don’t think it was like this when I came here.”

“It was a weekday then, right? Since it is the weekend, it is a day with a large number of people on the move, including locals.”

“I see. Oh, it’s all down hitter.”

While we were talking, the line of people getting off was cut. The train was still a bit crowded, but we got on regardless. Immediately after that, the doors closed and the train departed.

Inside the train, as seen from the outside, there seemed to be no empty seats. Besides, there were quite a few people standing, so it seemed a bit difficult to stand with Mina and her arms crossed.

“Jiheon. Please come this way.”

At this time, Mina led her by the arms folded in front of her and took her somewhere. Carrying me to the closed doorway, she untied her arms and was considerate of allowing me to lean against the door.

“Jiheon. Lean on it. Leaning on it will be a little more comfortable than just standing.”

“Oh, no. You do it.”

“No. I like Jiheon standing here.”

“Because it’s okay.”

I moved Mina so that she could stand here instead. But before that, she undid her arms and wrapped her arms around my waist.

Malkan

“!”

No, I grabbed my ass while pretending to put her arms around her waist. Then, in surprise, she stiffened her body and repeated what she said earlier to me.

“I like Jiheon standing here.”
