Chapter 58 – Cats
Wednesday, September 23rd.
Seolah is back
Now all we have to do is make friends again…
“Should I stand?”
“Wait a minute…”
“Should I stand? Where are you going? No, should I, should I stand?”
“No, why are you running away… You have to stand up!?”
“Should I stand?”
“It’s fine even if it’s just for a moment, so listen to me- Ha ha…”
If you see even a little bit of my shadow, you’ll run right away. It disappears in the blink of an eye and grabs the back of your neck.
The more you run away, the more impatient your mind becomes.
We need to clear up misunderstandings as soon as possible and get closer anyway. I can’t even take that first step. It’s going crazy.
Hide and seek for 30 minutes like that. At las.
Haha… I found it! I have to wait a minute…”
Barely, in the corner of the library. Confront seolah
“Ugh, boo, I’m ashamed…”
Seol-ah covers her flushed face with her hand. She refuses to make eye contact.
“If it really only takes a moment, should I stand?”
“Ouch, ooh…”
Instinctively, he tries to grab Seol-Ah’s shoulder, but ends.
I feel it intuitively. Even a little bit here. If you touch her body, it’s instant teleportation. Information obtained after several confrontations.
If you see it, run away. Teleports when touched.
It is a repetition of the two patterns. I swallow my saliva.
“I’m sorry.”
Say sorry for once
Surely I did something wrong, and I got a bone. I’ve been thinking about it. What the fuck am I doing to Seol-ah?
‘Come to think of it, I have to stand up. What do you like?’
I’m sure.
Seol-ah has someone she likes. But, the actions she did at the aquarium at that time… If you think about it.
Isn’t this a perfect date?
Okay. Right. This is my ‘mistake’.
She already has someone she likes.
I actually went on a date with a ‘friend’. It was embarrassing.
Probably to Seol-ah at the aquarium.
Even though we don’t even like each other, we’re stupid pretending to be lovers.
As a strange person who knows that there is someone else he likes but doesn’t stop pushing at him.
It would have looked that way. It’s my mistake.
Even that ‘friend’, it’s been less than a month since I became one. It’s natural to be shy.
Even my appearance must be rejected because I am a ‘golden sun’. Is that kind of person just squeaking?
To have a headache.
“Mi, you don’t have to be sorry…”
“What? No no no? I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no… It’s just that I’m, uh… Shy…”
“No, Seol-ah, I’m sorry. I’m just like a couple in an aquarium-“
“Heh, heh, heh, heh… Stop talking… I’m ashamed…!”
Seol-ah again covers her face with her hands. She flinches and avoids her gaze. Turn her body
“Sorry, I won’t do that again. Huh?”
“Huh…”
“Wasn’t it a little burdensome? I’m regretting it now too. Seol-ah… Really, I was wrong…”
“Ah, no… Heh, boo, it’s not burdensome…”
“Huh?”
“It wasn’t too hard…”
…Wasn’t that burdensome?
I thought you would just get a little, awkwardly angry and tell me not to do that next time.
“Just, a little. It’s because I’m shy… I’m sorry…”
Seol-ah bows her head. Wiggling her fingers
“Now, I won’t avoid it…”
Seolah very lightly, tok tok. She touches my arm
“Mia-an…”
“…”
Are you really okay?
Silence.
The air settles awkwardly.
Seol-ah glances at me, and when her eyes meet, she hurriedly turns her head.
For a while, hesitating.
A very quiet library.
It gets even quieter

“Ha…”
A sigh comes out.
Hide behind the bookshelf. Look at the dog
Annoying.
All day today, it’s like that. Doesn’t care about me at all He only looks at the witch and thinks only of the witch.
“…Puppy.”
You are originally mine.
Why.
It shouldn’t be taken away, even if you try to think, think, and act again.
The opponent is that ‘witch’. Neither can this
I still can’t forget that ‘Volcano’ in my head.
Ha.
Really.
Can’t do anything
“Under…”
My heart hurts.
It’s painful. I keep thinking I’ll lose you Unstable. Stress hits my head like a drum. To relieve stress. Sex is the best.
If you only think of dogs, that judgment too. Break down
If the dog likes sex.
Forever.
Continue.
At home.
From morning till night.
I would have mixed my body endlessly.
All day, except for the time to eat. Go on, go on, go on…
“…Huh.”
The lower body gets hot. Thinking of a puppy, again. Want to have sex
I want to, but I can’t.
Now…
Because we have to be friends.
“Han Seol-ah.”
3 days ahead
Wait 3 days
Find your weaknesses.
I will break it
“Ha…”
Puppy.
You.
It’s mine.
“…Forever.”
So, wait.

Weird.
Strange today. Boyfriend clings
“Arin, let’s go over there for a second.”
“That, uh, is it Seokho?”
When I try to approach Taeho, he grabs my arm and drags me somewhere.
“Who are you texting with?”
“Uh, huh?”
If you want to send a text message to Taeho, really. Interfere endlessly.
As if they were intentionally trying to separate Taeho from me…
“…No way.”
Is the lagoon worried about me?
I sit quietly on a flower bed bench and think. Seok-ho’s behavior is suspiciously opposite to usual.
I realized it when I entered the academy. The distance between Seokho and me. I felt it pierce through my skin.
Intentionally avoiding me, not making eye contact, and even cutting short conversations recently.
Suddenly today.
Everything has changed
Borderline movement.
Actions like ‘hating’ me approaching Taeho…
“Huh…”
Now I get it
Are you ‘concerned’?
“…Hi-Hi.”
A slight smile forms on your lips.
These days, Tae-ho is growing bigger in my heart.
Still, it’s not that I hate my boyfriend…
“…Cute.”
Cute.
And it’s lovely
Every action that worries me.
Yes, no matter what anyone says. Because it’s ‘boyfriend’. You wouldn’t like… To have me taken away by another man, would you?
You will hate it.
“Did you wait?”
The lagoon sits next to me.
“No? …Hehe.”
Carefully stroking Seokho’s hair. Trembling – Seok-ho’s shoulders tremble.
It’s a shame.
“Shall we eat now?”
Seok-ho nods his head.
“Haha…”
Seok-ho laughs.
I laugh too.
Slowly.
Open the lunch box

“Shall we eat?”
“Yes…”
Sit side by side on a bench. Open the bread bag Seol-A awkwardly nods her head.
Please.
I want to dispel this insanely awkward atmosphere.
When I try to do something, the word sorry comes out first. If you try to bring up another conversation topic, it stutters and doesn’t lead properly.
He got his first foot off, but the opposite foot felt like it was stuck in a swamp.
“Ugh…”
“Excuse me…”
It’s like this again and again
Desperately come up with a subject. What Seol-ah said she liked…
“Ah, Seol-ah. You said you like cats, right?”
“Ugh… I really like it…”
“Have you seen the movie? There’s a movie about that cat.”
It’s a recently released movie. Catch the subject somehow
“I saw it… But it wasn’t very good…”
“Isn’t it? I wasn’t too good at it either. Just, you know, something like that. Was it an unpleasant valley?”
“It was a bit awkward… I also came out while watching it in the middle…”
“That’s right. Because it’s called the Unpleasant Valley, you have to stand.”
“Yes?”
“Do you like horror movies or horror movies?”
“Ummm…”
While Seol-ah ponders, she nods her head slightly.
“I was scared in the past… But now I see it occasionally. But it’s a bit scary, so, let’s watch it with Dad…”
Seol-ah wiggles her leg, as if embarrassed.
“Which movie did you see?”
“Umm… Conjuring? That and a chainsaw, and oh… I saw a movie with a monster that kills when you make a sound…”
“I’ve seen more than I thought. But they all came out before the gate opened, right?”
“Eh. You like old things… Taeho likes horror movies?”
Gradually, the conversation takes place.
“I like it.”
“Oh… What kind of movies do you like?”
Ponder for a moment The most recent movie I saw…
“Um… You know this movie?”
“Which movie is it?”
“This is an old movie too.”
I make eye contact with Seol-ah.
It’s a little bit, but the eyes are shining. Surprisingly, you like this story more than you think.
“You know ‘The Thing’?”
Get lucky
“The Seeing?”
“This is the most recent movie I’ve seen. It’s just that some ‘alien creature’ takes away a human’s ‘body’…”
Seol-ah slowly approaches me. A lot of the awkward atmosphere was relieved.
“Curious?”
“Hmm… Small?”
Seol-ah laughs.
I laugh too. Now, let me tell you a little bit about what the movie is about, then move on to another topic and then-
Chin.
“Uh?”
“Yes?”
Someone grabs my shoulder
A chill seeps out of the hand holding the shoulder.
“…Lee Socheon-senpai?”
What?
“Kim Tae-ho.”
A frosty voice in the ice field. In an instant, the whole body is consumed by fear.
A hard frozen face slowly approaches me.
“See you after school today.”
The hand holding the shoulder is released. Cold. Only my shoulders are frozen, and it feels like it will break if I touch it.
Li Xiaochun is gradually moving away from me.
Eventually, it will disappear completely from sight.
“Haha…”
I was able to hold on to my beating heart.
“Taeho, are you okay?”
Seol-ah looks at me worriedly.
Are you okay?
I forced her to nod.
No, actually it’s not okay at all.
Again, the air settles.
What a summer
Will it be too cold?

“You’re here.”
The sun is shining The orange sky at sunset fills the windows.
“I saw you again. You having sex with my sister.”
Driving me crazy.
“I told you.”
Lee Socheon approaches me slowly.
The closer he came, the more his expression stiffened like a mannequin. Slowly released
A flushed face, an excited expression.
“Don’t do it with your brother, do it with me.”
“Be satisfied with me instead.”
“You said so.”
Socheon Lee leans on my body. Haha, the cold breath touches my chest.
“I can’t anymore.”
Isocheon falls from my body. She puts her hand in her pocket and takes out her phone.
“Give me your phone number.”
“Yes?”
“Phone number.”
What… Yes?
The face is stained with bewilderment. Wait, phone number?
Han Ye-rin and Lee A-rin, I think I’m going crazy with these two too. Until Lee Socheon?
“Hurry.”
“I-that’s…”
“Quickly, if you don’t…”
A little bit, I’m going to get angry.
Fear rises from the extremity of the waist. Driving me crazy.
Eventually, she pulls out her cell phone.
Li Xiaochen quickly grabs her cell phone and dials her number.
I got her cell phone back and looked at the number.
It’s called ‘Lee So-cheon’s sister’. It is written.
…’Sister’?
Chin.
Socheon Lee grabs my groin with his hand.
“Haha…”
Eyes fully undone. He looks at me with a bright face.
“Tae-ho…”
Eyes meet.
“Do you have a favorite play?”
Yes?
“Tell me if there is.”
“I’ll do everything…”
Socheon Lee approaches my ear and whispers.
“I know it because I’ve seen it a lot in cartoons.”
“Nurse, police, nun, fox, cat… Whoops ah…”
Ears sprout from the top of Lee Socheon’s head. Fluffy, made of her snow.
Cat ears.
“I searched hard. What men like…”
From Isocheon’s butt, her tail sprouts.
“Tae-ho. Cat… Hey, do you like it?”
Yes?
Eyes meet.
Lee Socheon comes to my ear.
Whisper
“Meow♡”
