0. meeting

I went to bed saying I slept in, but when I woke up it seemed to be 7 o’clock.

I slowly got up and chased after sleep when I heard a strange thud from the side of the bed.

I got up and walked towards it, wondering what was going on, and saw Kyung-hee kneeling down beside the bed.

“What happened?”

“no..”

It was clear what had happened.

As soon as my eyes met, Kyunghee pulled back her right hand.

I’m not sure, but it looked like it was hurt enough to bleed.

And considering the thump from earlier…

It seemed like he got up in a hurry and bumped into him, and when I came, he seemed to have corrected his posture.

Originally, I tried to pretend I didn’t know, but I couldn’t.

“Give me your hand.”

“…..yes?”

“Ask for it.”

I was bleeding, but I couldn’t seem to leave it alone.

So I grabbed Kyunghee’s hand and dragged her, who was trembling like a frightened rabbit.

A first aid kit, I think I left one at home, and a band should be in it.

“……………..”

After taking Kyunghee to the sink, I washed my hands as I was washing my hands.

Looking closely, the flesh was quite deep, so I thought I should apply some ointment.

Fortunately, the first aid kit had all the necessary medicines.

There were small bands, and even ointment to grow flesh.

Until that moment, Kyunghee was acting unnaturally.

“……..”

“Stay still.”

“Yes.”

I squeezed a little ointment on the tip of my finger, applied it to the wound, and put a bandage on it.

After looking at her right hand for a moment, Kyunghee made an anxious expression.

I felt sorry for him, so I approached him to tell him to take a break, but the reaction was strange.

I could see my ears vibrating as my body instinctively shrank.

I heard the story before and knew what had happened.

Because I grew up under terrible parents, my social skills and other things are at a junk level.

It was clear from the fact that there were only three acquaintances who were not even friends in the first place.

No, the problem must have been even more serious considering that he had somehow managed to come this far.

I shook my head to shake off the negative thoughts that were slowly creeping in, then spoke kindly.

“Get some rest.”

“Yeah. Ah.. I see.”

I was thinking of doing the dishes right away and going to the grocery store.

I wouldn’t be alone, and with Kyunghee, I’d need twice as much food.

And I was thinking of buying Kyunghee’s clothes too.

It was also a situation where I couldn’t dress myself like that forever.

Dissolving detergent in water and washing the dishes, I looked at Kyung-hee, who was quietly sitting in the corner holding her knees.

A posture of staring blankly ahead, without any movement.

You don’t have to be moderately anxious, but it seemed like I was mistaken.

It seemed like I had no choice but to wait until I opened my heart first.

“there.”

“…………!”

“I’m going to go grocery shopping after the dishes are done. Do you want to come with me?”

“yes.”

“Okay.”

fortunately it was

He didn’t seem to like going out at all.

I was worried about what to do if I didn’t like to go outside.

If so, I can’t see the answer to the point where my eyes are dark.

That is the same as saying that even the minimum level of sociality has not been established.

If you can’t show the conversation skills you showed on the Internet in real life, that’s a really serious problem.

It was like saying that even when you are 22 years old, you are no better than a child.

It was fortunate though.

If at least I can go out alone, I can run errands.

By ordering them to run small errands, they should be able to imprint their needs with those things.

Well, it takes a little while to treat people like that.

It is unavoidable. Because if I don’t, I’ll die.

Even the situation was like a rabbit, in case someone wasn’t a rabbit.

“It’s over.”

“…………”

While arranging the wet bowls, Kyung-hee carefully stood up.

I think I stood up to get ready to go out, but I was nervous for some reason.

An unknown ominous feeling ran down his back.

I tried my best to read her emotions through Kyunghee’s swaying eyes and smiled.

And I opened my mouth to say I wasn’t ready.

“Wait a minute. I have something to do.”

Kyunghee nodded blankly.

I thought something might happen, so I quickly moved my hands to arrange the dishes.

My head was complicated. I didn’t even know what to do right now.

But if I was flustered, it was clear that Kyung-hee would become anxious.

So I decided to organize the things I had to do and took a deep breath.

First, measure Kyung-hee’s body size.

Seeing that the clothes I was originally wearing did not fit, it seemed that the previous size could not be used.

So, take measurements of your new body and buy clothes based on those measurements.

Then, as a temporary measure, he changes Kyung-hee’s clothes into street clothes.

Finally, I grab the things I need to go shopping and leave.

It seemed like my head was clear after organizing it like that.

“Are you Kyunghee?”

“….yes?”

After calling out the hesitant Kyung-hee, he took out a tape measure.

Seeing this, Kyunghee’s expression changed subtly and complexly.

From doubt to bewilderment. From bewilderment to resignation.

He smiled and said straight away that it wasn’t the way you thought it would be.

“Yeah, I’d like to take measurements.”

“Do whatever you want. Shall I raise my arm?”

“Umm… wait a little bit.”

At this point, it was enough to speak proactively.

What are you thinking of doing? what can i do

However, unable to even say such a thing at all, Kyunghee just stayed still like a doll.

I felt sorry for her resigned gaze, as if she hadn’t guessed what she was going to use it for.

At the same time, I started to think that there was a long way to go.

It’s not just about providing a place to sleep.

I took measurements like that and roughly estimated my height and weight and felt it, but it seemed to be a lot smaller than I thought.

Because Kyunghee said that before she grew rabbit ears, she was almost 170cm tall and average weight.

Just looking at the numbers, I could tell how different she was from now, when she was less than 160 cm tall and thin enough to be presumed to be underweight.

“I can’t wear the original clothes.”

“……..”

The clothes, which were large by men’s standards, were too big for Kyunghee to wear.

At least the medium seems to go in even though it is baggy.

No, in fact, the clothes were so big that even medium should be regarded as fashion.

Fortunately, there were a few clothes smaller than medium in my room.

Although it’s tight, it’s not that I can’t wear it, so I left it because it was a waste.

It was nice to be there though.

If it wasn’t for that, I might have gotten some pointless attention.

“Let’s change clothes and go out.”

“yes.”

As I brought the clothes and tried them on, I remembered, but there weren’t many tops for Kyung-hee.

because of that ear. A hood that could cover rabbit ears was absolutely necessary.

If there’s one thing that’s fortunate, it’s that there’s a hood among the clothes I brought.

It seemed like it would draw less attention if the hood was pressed down.

Kyunghee must have thought of that too, as she hesitated while holding onto her gray hoodie.

“……………..”

“It can’t be helped if T-shirts or underwear are loose.”

“thanks.”

“What.”

A black belt to fasten baggy trousers to jeans in a gray hoodie.

It didn’t seem like it would be noticeable when I took it outside.

Since Kyunghee’s preparations were over, it was time for me to prepare as well.

The only thing I had to do to prepare was to wash my hair and pack a bag that I could use as a shopping cart.

After stuffing my wallet and phone into my pockets, I checked to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

I didn’t seem to have missed anything, so I told Kyunghee.

“let’s go.”

“…..yes.”

Kyunghee seemed afraid to go out.

I’ve said before that I’m afraid to go out.

That’s why he said he was envious of me, saying that he only traveled on familiar roads and never traveled on unfamiliar roads.

But now it’s gotten worse, and it seems like going out is scary.

Of course, it would be strange to go through that much and not be afraid.

He took Kyung-hee’s hand, who was trembling and could not walk, and then crossed his arms.

It meant to be relieved because I am by your side, but to Kyung-hee, it seemed to have a different meaning.

The frequency of shivering increased, and when I walked to the elevator, Kyung-hee calmly followed me.

But when I looked in the mirror in the elevator, I could tell.

He felt that he was in no position to do anything right away, and resigned himself.

For some reason, I thought my arms were shaking too much for being calm.

I could tell by looking at the face that could be seen in the shade of the hood that was completely down.

It was bittersweet as if I was telling myself how dare I go against it.

“Do you have anything you want to eat?”

“It’s okay. …So, there’s nothing in particular.”

“yes…..?”

I tried to reassure him by serving him his favorite food, but it didn’t seem to work.

I had no choice but to buy various ingredients and catch Kyunghee’s reaction when she ate them.

Unless you hate all food, it was obvious that there would be a reaction when you ate the food you liked.

To be honest, I don’t think I can hit it, but I had no choice but to try.

I was intimidated even when I was eating, but I wondered if I would show my likes and dislikes.

I thought I would eat and finish as quickly as possible so as not to upset my planting.

“Memorize the route. You may have to go alone later.”

“Okay, I get it.”

“For me, I want to go out with you forever and keep caring about you, but it’s impossible.”

“……………..”

I thought he said it kindly, but Kyung-hee’s expression was strange.

It was as if he had heard a terrible vitriol right in front of his face.

Perhaps that was all, the intensity of the trembling I felt in my folded arms intensified.

His breathing became rough, and his eyes were shaking mercilessly.

Then, perhaps realizing that I was looking at her, Kyunghee forced a smile.

And soon after, the trembling of the body and the rough breathing.

The frequency of blinking was also greatly reduced.

“There’s a shopping mall if you walk for about 10 minutes from here.”

“yes.”

“I’m thinking of going to the mart in that mall. I might have to come alone next time, so remember that.”

“yes.”

“You remembered correctly, right?”

I called out to him because he looked worried, but as expected.

Kyung-hee couldn’t even make eye contact and apologized over and over again saying he was sorry.

In the end, it was obvious that talking more would only burden him, so he took Kyung-hee and walked away without saying a word.

The way there was simple.

When you come out of your room, you will come to an alley lined with officetels.

Take a left here and follow the road for 5 minutes until you reach a traffic light.

Cross the traffic light and walk for about 3 minutes to the park, and turn right at the park.

If you walk like that for about 2 more minutes, you will arrive.

“……………..”

I wanted to ask Kyunghee if she remembered it well, but I couldn’t.

People simply lowered their heads just to catch their eyes, but it was obvious that if I asked them now, they would not be able to answer.

I could tell by the way he often grabbed my arm whenever someone looked at me curiously.

He seemed so distracted that he didn’t even realize how hard he was holding his arm.

“It’s Kyunghee.”

“…………yes.”

Sounds like ants crawling.

but didn’t fix it.

Because I didn’t think I would hear it.

“That’s a large mart, and I usually come here when I go shopping.”

“Okay.”

“And since this is the center, even if you get lost in the mall, you only have to come to that large mart.”

“yes.”

I didn’t seem to understand it properly, but I couldn’t help it.

I went into the mart with Kyunghee.
