0. meeting

Speaking of a large mart, this mart wasn’t that big.

It occupies only the center of a small shopping mall.

However, despite this, there were not a few people who went to the mart.

And all of them were looking at Kyung-hee as they passed by.

There was no particular malice or anything like that.

It was simply that a woman crossed her arms and bowed her head, so her gaze went.

However, receiving such trivial gazes seemed to be a burden to Kyung-hee.

If I hadn’t moved, it was obvious that Kyunghee would have been standing there like a statue forever.

Thinking of fixing this slowly, he pointed his finger at the basket and said to Kyung-hee.

“Pick up the basket.”

“Yes.”

Kyunghee immediately picked up the plastic basket.

I had been shopping recently, so there wasn’t much to buy.

At best, some veggies, some meat, some dairy.

I was thinking of buying seafood or noodles if I wanted to.

And if it was that much, it seemed that the two of them could lift it together.

Or do I do it all by myself?

Thinking so, I took a few steps forward, but something was strange and I turned around.

Kyeong-hee stood there stiffly.

It’s like a robot that doesn’t know what to do and is not given orders.

“What are you doing, aren’t you following me?”

“I’m going… I’m going.”

It was a while to roll my eyeballs back and forth.

Kyunghee stuttered and started following me.

To be honest, I was a little frustrated and wanted to drag it out, but I didn’t think it would be possible.

He was already intimidated, but it seemed like he would be terrified if I forcibly dragged him away.

I thought it wouldn’t be bad to choose slowly while waiting for Kyung-hee to follow.

“…………”

Kyung-hee waited patiently while I picked out the ingredients.

Although often crouching or fixating her eyes on the ground, she forced herself to smile when I put things in the basket.

Every time I did that, I felt guilty because I felt like I was harassing people.

Rather, it is being cared for on this side.

So, in order to change the atmosphere, I asked a question for convenience, such as asking if there was something I wanted to eat in between, but the only answer I got back every time was that it was okay.

Besides, he pretended not to know and kept putting things in the basket, but it was strange that he didn’t show it even though it must be heavy.

How long has it been since you’ve been shopping like that?

“……………..”

Kyeong-hee forced herself to hold the basket while trying to catch up with her trembling arms.

It would be quite heavy as the ingredients would go into the basket, but there were still no complaints.

Or maybe it was because I hadn’t learned how to complain.

She is a child who has always learned to take for granted the unequal things inflicted on her.

Eventually, even my legs were shaking, so I had no choice but to take the basket.

“ah…!”

“Follow.”

I was thinking of paying at the self-checkout counter and then having it delivered.

Since I bought more than 30,000 won, there should be no problem with delivery.

Anyway, I went to the self-checkout counter with the basket in one hand and started paying.

Kyung-hee hesitated as I paid the bill, then carefully opened the bag as if she understood something after handing me the bag.

“Because things like meat and milk have to be put in the fridge.”

“yes.”

“So I’m going to take that with me and have the rest delivered.”

After skillfully paying the bill, I called the lady and got a receipt for the delivery.

I put the meat and milk in the bag and picked up the box, leaving behind Kyung-hee who hurriedly followed.

Kyeong-hee didn’t say anything while she wrapped the tape around the appropriately sized box and put the ingredients in the basket.

I could tell he was clinging to me and trembling, but I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

Are you anxious or scared?

At least it would be nice if you could say something about likes and dislikes.

Only then can we make a judgment based on that, but Kyung-hee was silent like a mute who had eaten honey.

“It’s done.”

“Go.. can I go..?”

Kyung-hee desperately asked if I was happy that I could finally go home, holding my arm.

It was a pity that I was intimidated by the stares around me, but I was glad that I said my likes and dislikes.

But apart from that, I didn’t answer right away, so Kyung-hee removed her hand and lowered her head.

Like a guilty person, as if he had done something he shouldn’t have done.

Actually, I was contemplating whether or not to send her home first.

It seemed to me that I would rather go alone than take him to the clothing store.

“Isn’t it heavy?”

“Okay, it’s okay.”

“If you want to go home, you can go first. I have work to do.”

“It’s okay… it’s okay…”

“No, let’s go home.”

So he induced Kyung-hee to go home first.

Oddly enough, Kyunghee shook her head saying she was okay, but her decision was firm.

A half-baked expression, severely shaking eyes.

It was not normal for anyone to see.

It was right to just rest at home.

“It’s heavy. Give it to me.”

“I’m… I’m fine…”

Besides, it looked heavy, so I tried to carry the bag, but it was nice to see him stubbornly refuse.

As if his life was at stake, he squeezed the straps of his bag tightly, so he had no choice but to leave it.

“Did you memorize the road?”

“Yeah. I memorized it. It won’t be perfect, but.”

“……I can’t go alone.”

“Oh, no! I can go alone. B… I know the password. I went there once.”

“yes?”

To be honest, I was a little anxious, but I thought it would be okay.

It seemed that there would be no problem if I let them go first and then followed slowly from behind.

“Then go first and wait. When the delivery arrives, receive the delivery.”

“Yeah, mmm… I’ll go first.”

Kyung-hee tried to smile, then started walking down the street precariously.

He walked away pretending to go somewhere else for a while, then turned around and followed Kyung-hee.

Fortunately, Kyung-hee seemed to memorize the road.

Even though I was desperately looking around, I was on my way.

Of course, he seemed to be extremely reluctant to bump into people, so he was seen walking around deliberately stuck in a corner.

I wondered if that would hurt her, but Kyung-hee managed to find the way and walked on.

How long had it passed, I turned around after seeing that I was properly entering the alley where my room was.

I thought it would work because I knew what floor I was on and the password.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but seeing as he hurriedly entered his password, I knew something about it.

Maybe because I didn’t express my feelings like that, it was very difficult to be honest.

It seems that there is a clear misunderstanding and misunderstanding, but there is no way to correct it.

It wasn’t unreasonable to think of just drinking or eating.

It’s not for nothing that they say that if you drink alcohol, your inner feelings come out.

I had money to buy alcohol anyway, so there was nothing wrong with it.

I’m not sure what kind of drink you like.

If you have money, you can just buy a variety of things.

Starting with soju, beer, and makgeolli. Or even Yangzhou.

It seemed like it was just a matter of buying a variety of things and feeding them.

Of course, I don’t know how much money will be left to buy clothes and alcohol, but I thought it would be tight.

My parents would allow me to drink alcohol for entertainment purposes, but clothes are not at all.

I wouldn’t know if it was my clothes, but if I suddenly buy women’s clothes out of the blue, I’ll be accused.

So if you buy alcohol with your father’s card and buy clothes with my card, uhm.

I wanted to take a risk.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have had the money if I hadn’t asked for all the college-related expenses instead of going to a top-notch university.

And if that was the case, he would have sent her back saying that he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her and would not have received Kyung-hee.

And Kyung Hee…

…….I thought it would be better not to think about it, so I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts, then changed my mind to the other side.

So, with respect to the parents. I felt like I should think about what to tell my parents about now.

Since all of a sudden, the money for food has suddenly increased, so at least there must be an excuse.

It’s like gathering friends and having a party.

When I reached that point, I let out a sigh.

Still, I thought that this was enough for a nobleman.

It was a bit of a burden, but not to the point where I couldn’t eat it at all.

As I said to Kyung-hee, you just have to do a little thorough calculation of money.

So, I thought about what kind of clothes to buy.

After organizing my thoughts like that, I opened the door and entered the clothing store, and the staff greeted me with a smile.

“welcome!”

“I’m here to buy clothes for my little sister.”

“Oh, did you come alone?”

The staff at the counter smiled kindly and asked.

It will be amazing.

Because a man entered the women’s clothing store alone.

“Yes. My sister is going on a trip, and I came here because I urgently needed clothes.”

“Oh, is your sister not coming?”

“They say you don’t have to wear clothes for a day, but since you’re going with friends, it’s probably…”

“Well, it’s kind of like that. Come on, I’ll pick one for you.”

I had already thought of the places to go around, so it wasn’t blocked.

And I already thought of the color that would suit Kyunghee.

When I pointed to a pair of comfortable hoodies or jeans, the employee’s face brightened.

And when I told the staff about Kyunghee’s clothes size, the staff nodded and went inside.

“mom!”

“why?”

“Where are the small and medium!”

“You left it there!”

“Oh, yes!”

Hearing a loud voice from inside, it was ominous.

Then, if the two of them come out together and throw in a barrage of questions.

Then, if the loophole of the lie is revealed. Wow, just imagining it was terrifying.

You will definitely not be treated well.

What is the reason for a man to buy women’s clothes while lying to him?

Anyway, let’s wait like that, the staff came out with clothes and opened his mouth.

“Do you need underwear too?”

“I heard you’re going to the pool, but I think you’ll need it.”

“Aha. The size…”

“I saw it the other day when I asked to buy underwear for my birthday, and I think it was AA.”

“I guess they’re very close? He asked me to buy underwear too.”

“Maybe it’s because the age difference isn’t that big, I just felt comfortable.”

“I hope you like it.”

He smiled as he skilfully took over the staff’s conversation.

The employee packed and wrapped the clothes as requested, then put them in a paper bag and handed them over.

After calmly paying and leaving, I went out with my bag.

I was thinking of buying a drink and going back to my room.
