Chapter 54 – Date

Next day. Seo Jin-ah and I were in the club room.

This is because there was a call from senior Hong Se-rin to make sure to come today.

“Ruler. Now, let’s introduce a new member! “Everyone applaud!”

A male senior is standing blankly in the middle of the eastern room. We who surround him.

Seo Jin-ah clapped with her eyes shining, and while I was trying to stay still, I couldn’t overcome senior Hong Se-rin’s stinging gaze, so I reluctantly clapped for her.

Since he was doing this without any members, it was a bit embarrassing to see. I wonder if I feel sorry for the new senior standing in front of me.

“What about the members? “Is this it?”

“All the other kids went underwater.”

“∙∙∙I think I understand why you’re disbanding.”

Half pity. Eyes half filled with worry.

And the senior male sighs as he looks at us with eyes that say he regrets coming here.

“Nice to meet you. “My name is Yunho Choi, and to put it simply, I’m a high school friend of his.”

Senior Choi Yun-ho pointing to Hong Se-rin.

I think this person is the person who is good at coding that Senior Serin was talking about.

The only savior who can save the game development club that cannot make games.

“Yunho will be our club’s development team leader from now on.”

“∙∙∙Today is my first day of joining the company?”

“They are just like me anyway. “I don’t know how to code.”

“No∙∙∙∙∙∙”

Senior Choi Yun-ho is shocked when he discovers the true nature of this club.

I guess it’s that person. I feel like I won’t be here tomorrow.

To be honest, I also wanted to run away.

Because I couldn’t escape the feeling that I was being used by the manager.

‘If you’re going to ride underwater, ride it underwater until the end∙∙∙’

For no reason, I wonder what this is.

I was skeptical about this half-baked game development project, but Seo Jin-ah sitting next to me didn’t seem to be so.

They just seem excited to have a new member join. He was looking at senior Choi Yunho with bright eyes.

Do you have a desire to develop games?

“So! Now that all the people have gathered. From now on, we will begin game development in earnest!”

Serin Hong jumped up from her desk and confidently announced the start of her project.

“According to that. Let’s all decide on a role. Of course, I’m in charge of the pictures. Yunho will be in charge of game coding, graphics, design, sound, and bug fixing.”

“∙∙∙Hey. For a moment. “Why am I doing everything?”

“And you two.”

Hong Se-rin ignores Choi Yun-ho’s unfair question and points to Seo Jin-ah.

“You two. Please take charge of the story and directing. I have to do that at least. Have you ever written anything like a novel?”

“No.”

“∙∙∙I don’t have one.”

Because I usually don’t even look at books other than my major. I had no connection to writing.

The only novels I read recently were the erotic stories I read at the library with Seo Jin-ah.

“Because we are making it anyway. Most of it is dialogue, so it doesn’t have to be particularly difficult to write. “Just think of the two of you as dating and make up a rough story.”

“∙∙∙∙∙∙.”

“What. “You’re not throwing a fit today because it’s not like that, are you?”

“∙∙∙Yes?”

“Is there really something between you two?”

Hong Se-rin looks at the two of us with an expression that says, look at these.

That strange, eerie smile pierced my heart as I even proposed to him yesterday.

How can I even recognize this amazing feeling?

“What did you do after we went to school together last time?”

“∙∙∙It’s not like that.”

“No, it doesn’t matter. That’s good. “Let’s write a story about your relationship.”

“∙∙∙No.”

Unlike me, who shook my head and denied it, Seo Jin-ah remained stiff.

Seo Jin-ah also remembers what happened last night. It seemed like she was so heartbroken that she couldn’t do anything.

Seo Jin-ah’s firm body language suggests to anyone that our relationship has changed. Hong Se-rin’s strange laughter becomes worse.

“Okay. What. Take care of your love life. Anyway, you have to write the story?”

“∙∙∙∙∙∙.”

“So, what do you mean? “I’ll ask you guys for a photo this time too.”

“What picture?”

“The game we make is about experiencing indirect love. And what is something you must do when you are dating?”

“∙∙∙Seok.”

“Sex?”

I was about to say sex without thinking, but immediately came to my senses.

“∙∙∙No. “A date?”

“Yeah, that one. “It’s an unreleased show, so of course there has to be a date scene.”

“Then no way∙∙∙”

“You two. “Let’s take some pictures while we’re on our date.”

“∙∙∙With him?”

When I asked, pointing to Seo Jin-ah, Hong Se-rin nodded as if it was obvious.

“I feel like I want to film it myself. “I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“You can go with the new senior.”

“Are you crazy? “I’m not in that kind of relationship with Yunho, am I?”

“I’m not in that kind of relationship with him either.”

“Shut up. Where is the answer? I’m the manager? “Listen to me.”

Hong Se-rin abuses her power when it seems like she will be at a disadvantage.

I wanted to confront that comment, but I felt sorry for myself for not attending the club often, so I decided to just endure it and accept it.

And what. If it’s a date with Seo Jin-ah∙∙∙

‘It’s not that bad now.’

It was almost as if we had made a promise to get married. What’s so great about dating?

It was an event that had to be done anyway.

While I’m at it. Let’s think about doing it a little earlier.

“Anyway. The roles have been decided, so you can go now. “I have to draw pictures, so go to the date bar this weekend and take pictures.”

“I just need to take a picture of the background, right?”

“No. This time, please take a picture of yourself together.”

“Why do we look like we do?”

“This time, I’m going to include illustrations of people inside. It’s easier to draw something that has real people in it. So, take a lot of pictures of the two of you messing around.”

“∙∙∙What kind of flirting is that?”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s fake. When taking pictures, pretend to be a couple. Because that makes it easier to draw. Got it?”

Hong Se-rin only said what she had to say, and she waved her hand as if to tell us to leave.

As we had no choice but to leave the club room at that gesture, senior Choi Yun-ho looked at us as if begging us to save him.

Although it was a pity, I left the club room, ignoring the look in the senior’s eyes asking for help.

I didn’t know that if I didn’t escape now, I would end up coding instead of that senior.

I don’t even know how to do it. It was clear that there would be pressure from Hong Se-rin to learn and do it from now on.

As she walks out of the club room, Seo Jin-ah comes from next to her and asks about her schedule.

“∙∙∙Are you free on the weekend?”

“It’s a draw, but is this a date request?”

“∙∙∙What. What! “I’m doing it because Serin told me to do it∙∙∙”

“Whenever I ask him out, he immediately refuses. “How nice would it be to go on a date after dating?”

“Article. Be quite! What. Buy something!

Me and Seojin, who are grumbling for no reason, are anxious to see if anyone will hear our conversation.

In my heart, I feel like I can’t live without me. Why are you making such a fuss?

It’s definitely a mosol, but it seems to be a mosol. I see her making such a fuss.

The more shy she is. It was my job to help get rid of it.

That way, that guy will be able to like me with peace of mind.

“Because today is Thursday∙∙∙ Then let’s meet on Saturday and have some fun.”

“∙∙∙What are you going to play?”

“Because we have to take pictures rather than just hang out∙∙∙ We go to a cafe, eat, and watch movies, which is the typical date route∙∙∙∙∙∙ If you want, we go to a motel.”

“∙∙∙What. What! Radish. “What kind of motel is this?”

The last thing I said was meant to be a joke. As expected, Seojin fell for my teasing.

At one point, he openly threatened me with masturbating. It was funny how embarrassed he was when I actually asked him to do it.

“If you don’t like it, don’t. I told you. “I’m going because it’s a typical dating route.”

“∙∙∙∙∙∙.”

“I guess you don’t like it.”

“∙∙∙Da. Shut up!”

Why are you trying to hide your true feelings now that everything has already been revealed?

Although it was frustrating to see her struggling with my words, she was also cute at the same time.

When I thought about it, I was Seo Jin-ah’s first love. I’m saying this is my first time liking a man at all.

She is still my first love at the age of 21. Thinking about it that way, I could understand why she was at a loss for what I said.

While we are on a date this time. She needs to be more aggressive and see more of her shyness.

If you start dating, you might not be able to see each other because you’re having sex. If not now, when will I see you?

***

Saturday morning.

I was out in front of her house to take Seo Jin-ah out on a date.

My outfit today was still an outfit that was dressed up to the best of my ability.

I was a little excited because it was my first date with her, so I trimmed her hair and even put on her favorite coat.

I put on a little makeup because I was going to take a picture, so it looked like I was going to look good.

I was waiting for Seo Jin-ah with such a big heart.

Thump thump.

“When will it come out?”

“∙∙∙Now. Wait for a sec. “Just wait a little longer.”

“I’ve already been waiting for 30 minutes!”

We haven’t even started dating yet. I was on the verge of exhaustion.

The appointment time was definitely 10 o’clock. When I looked at my phone, the clock showed 10:28.

In fact, I had been waiting since before 10 o’clock, so the waiting time would have been well over 30 minutes.

“I’m not ready with my hair yet!”

“Just do it roughly and come out. “What difference would it make if you decorated it?”

“∙∙∙Si. Shut up! “I’m waiting quietly!”

However, Seo Jin-ah was still preparing and did not come out of the house.

Sometimes, when I urge him to go, he just answers through the door. She didn’t seem to have any intention of coming out.

I wonder if the date will end like this if it goes on like this.

I was just staring at my phone clock out of boredom.

Squeak.

Soon she opened the door and came out.

“Why do you keep telling me to come out quickly! “I’m not ready yet!”

“It’s a date. “If you were me, you would like a woman who makes you wait for 30 minutes∙∙∙”

My mouth was trying to reprimand her for not keeping her appointment. She stopped.

The appearance of Seo Jin-ah opening the door and coming out.

Because that appearance was completely different from usual.

Her hair was tied back, slightly wavy.

Thick. However, the makeup was not that noticeable.

And a flowy dress.

‘∙∙∙You wore a dress?’

In all the time I’ve known Seo Jin-ah, I’ve never seen her wear feminine clothes.

She said her pants were comfortable like a man’s, but she never wore skirts.

This is the first time she wears a feminine outfit. She felt like she fit in, even though she didn’t fit in.

Her previous image and her new, changed image were clashing.

“∙∙∙I. Strange?”

I just stare, lost in fascination.

Seo Jin-ah probably thought it was because I was weird, but she couldn’t straighten her body confidently.

She herself seemed uncomfortable with her change.

“If anything feels weird, change into something else∙∙∙”

“No.”

I stopped her from going back into her house.

“Pretty.”

A compliment that came out of my mouth.

When she saw her and said she was pretty, she meant it.

It’s not because I can’t be bothered to wait for her to change and come out again. I was trying to stop him because I sincerely wanted to see more of this.

In my mind. Because her new image shattered her old image.

That’s how pretty she was today.

“∙∙∙G. Really?”

“Shouldn’t you have worn something like this on a regular basis? “They fit together well.”

“∙∙∙∙∙∙.”

It may seem like I’m grumbling, but my words are a compliment no matter who hears them.

The corner of her mouth twitches because she likes those words.

I laughed heartily. But as she cowers in shame, I reach out to get her out.

I gently hold her wiggling fingers with my hand, unable to keep still.

“Why are you holding my hand∙∙∙”

“Because it’s a date. And you like holding hands.”

“∙∙∙No.”

Seo Jin-ah said she was still a horse, but never took her hand away.

Rather, it was like putting her wiggling fingers between hers and clasping them together.

Watching her gradually open her heart. I announced the start of the date.

“Let’s go.”

The two of us left the apartment side by side, holding hands.
