The Thrilling Yoon Se-hwa
After meeting Ga-eun and exchanging phone numbers, Yoon Se-hwa had returned home. Upon returning to her house, Yoon Se-hwa thought that today was the best day of her life.
“Fufufu…….”
Friend. In Yoon Se-hwa's life, a friend was like the sound of a polar bear in the desert. Yes. The sound of absence. If forced to say, it was like an animal existing in a fantasy.
Yoon Se-hwa had moved frequently due to her parents' jobs since childhood. Because of that, she couldn't stay at the same school for long and frequently transferred to different schools. When she got close to kids in the same class, she would transfer again. Of course, it was a difficult environment for Yoon Se-hwa to make friends. Moreover, around the time of high school, awakened Yoon Se-hwa started her activities as a hunter. Yoon Se-hwa's life as a hunter starting from S-class was extremely busy. Classes were not even an important thing; important things kept coming one after another. Inevitably, making friends at that time was impossible. So, the contacts were only people she met through family and hunter work. It was only people who approached her because of her name as an S-class hunter or her abilities that she could stack. In that sense, the real friend she wanted.
“Hihee.”
Rolling on the bed, Yoon Se-hwa looked at her phone and smiled brightly.
- 'Ga-eun (☆Friend☆)'
Finally. A relationship that could be called a friend had been born in her life. As evidence, the phone number was neatly written in the contacts. Additionally, she had confirmed directly with the person herself that they were friends. (In fact, she didn't receive confirmation.) So, just quietly looking at it made the smile overflow.
“Fuhuhu…….”
It had been a long period of peace and annihilation. (No.) How much she had been envious that others had friends. The horrific feeling of being roasted in the gallery every day for having no friends. She would not let this be ignored any longer. Yoon Se-hwa put down her phone and looked into the void, making a vow.
“I now have a friend!!!”
From now on, no matter where she went, she would boldly say she had a friend. Ah, of course, none of this content was in Ga-eun's opinion. It could be seen as 100% Yoon Se-hwa's delusion.
“Hihee.”
This was one of the reasons why Yoon Se-hwa was often roasted in the gallery as ''Dumb as a brick' or “Yay, a loser”.
Then, several days had passed since Yoon Se-hwa's number was stamped on Ga-eun's phone. An ordinary morning time, like any other day. For university students on break and the Crow Tit who was like a pet, it was peace itself.
[“Om nyam nyam.”]
Hmm, this sunflower seed was less creamy than the one I ate yesterday, but the crunchy texture was better. When my mouth gets bored, this is better. I was savoring the taste of the sunflower seeds on the plate for breakfast. It was a joy born from Ga-eun recently increasing the variety of sunflower seeds. I should say it like a sommelier who enjoys coffee or wine. Even if they all looked similar, when tasted in detail, there were small but clear differences.
“Ah, yes. Please eat a lot.”
[“Hey, you don't believe me again.”]
“No. Why would I not believe the Crow Tit-nim's words.”
[“Aish, really. Try eating it too.”]
“It’s fine. How could I eat the Crow Tit-nim's breakfast.”
Ga-eun said that while poking the salad with a fork. The salad looked like it had some soy sauce sprinkled on top of lettuce or something.
“It’s not soy sauce, but balsamic vinegar. And it's not lettuce, but cabbage.”
[“Ah, right. It looks roughly similar.”]
“It’s completely different.”
Ga-eun looked at me with an incredulous expression. No, soy sauce and what was that, roughly some kind of vinegar. It looked similar because it was black liquid like. At this level, wasn't it enough to be confusing?
“Balsamic vinegar.”
[“Ah, yeah. That’s what I meant.”]
“And soy sauce and balsamic vinegar are completely different.”
Anyway. That aside.
[“What kind of taste is this salad supposed to be eaten with.”]
“The salad is delicious.”
[“I don't like vegetables much.”]
“The listening vegetables are sad.”
Sad? What. It's not the bad onion experiment. When was that experiment revealed to be a lie. Vegetables can't understand human speech, let alone Korean.
[“No, so why are you eating salad.”]
“Just because? It's a healthy taste. And if you pour dressing on it, it's delicious.”
“Uek. You're not a rabbit.”
I made a disgusted expression and looked at Ga-eun. Eating these fluffies with taste? No matter how you pour dressing on the fluffies, they're still fluffies. It was a response that even a reverse vegetarian couldn't imagine.
“Compared to that, the Crow Tit-nim also eats sunflower seeds well.”
[“No, this is like rice.”]
Even a meat-eater wouldn't eat rice or bread. To me, sunflower seeds were roughly the same logic as that.
Then, after the deep discussion about salad while eating breakfast. Ga-eun and I were lying side by side on the sofa now. Why were we doing this.
[“Student.”]
“Yes.”
The reason was simple. Boredom. Ga-eun didn't seem particularly bored, but the important one, me, was bored.
[“I’m bored.”]
“I see.”
[“In that sense, there's a request. Will you listen?”]
“Yes, please speak. I will listen.”
[“Play with me.”]
“Yes, I heard.”
Aish, you said you'll listen, but if you just listen, what then. This too much kid. I glared at Ga-eun's face with a dumbfounded expression.
Or not, Ga-eun didn't take her eyes off the phone.
- Flap flap
“I, I'm ticklish.”
[“It's because of the feathers.”]
I extended my wings covered in white feathers and tickled the tip of Ga-eun's nose. Did my feathers tickle her? Ga-eun frowned and finally turned her gaze towards me.
“If you keep doing this, I'll completely ignore you for the whole day.”
[“Ah, okay.”]
I handed the fallen feather from earlier to Ga-eun and said.
[“Here, tickle me with this. How is it? Fair now?”]
“Hmm…… Yes, good.”
Ga-eun made a pondering expression for a moment, then finally picked up the feather in her hand. And she tickled my nose with the grabbed feather. I said looking at Ga-eun trying hard to tickle me.
[“Heh, idiot.”]
“……….”
[“Of course, there's no way to get tickled.”]
Where is there a Crow Tit that gets tickled because of its own feathers. This foolish student. I made an annoying expression as if saying pitifully.
[“Fuf, sloppy♡.”]
And as a bonus, scratched one more time.
[“Angry? Sloppy sloppy♡.”]
When I could, I had to scratch as much as possible. I couldn't waste this rare opportunity. So, I, who had tormented Ga-eun without restraint at this long-awaited opportunity……
[“S, student……?”]
“……….”
[“G, Ga-eun……?”]
“……….”
I was completely ignored by Ga-eun. Ah, I should have teased a little appropriately. I faced the reality in front of me and felt a bit of regret.
Then, it was about an hour later when the broken Ga-eun responded to the conversation again.
“From now on, don't do that.”
[“Yeah yeah, got it. I'll tease appropriately.”]
“Usually, when this happens, they don't tease, right?”
[“Ah, that might be a bit difficult.”]
If I don't tease you, one of the joys of life disappears. Even for the sake of this pitiful Crow Tit, please spare me. Okay?
“Sigh. Okay. Instead, tease appropriately.”
[“Yeah yeah, that's obvious.”]
I shook my head up and down vigorously and answered.
“By the way, Crow Tit-nim.”
[“Yeah, why?”]
“Will you be free in three days?”
[“Me? What, I'm just following you around.”]
After all, what I was doing was just following Ga-eun around. This is enough for one-minded…… I don't know, but for unity, it might not be bad. Anyway, if Ga-eun's time was fine, mine was fine too.
[“But suddenly why is that.”]
“Ah, remember Haruka?”
[“Huh? That gyaru?”]
“Gyaru…… the way of speaking was gyaru.” The Japanese exchange student who was met at the site practice where the double gate exploded. Exactly, she looked normal but her speech was gyaru, Japanese student. Because she was lively and restless as a person, I remembered her.
[“But suddenly Haruka?”]
“Ah, maybe because a message came asking if I have any thoughts on gate conquest.”
[“So suddenly?”]
“The original planned person couldn't come, so it seems a substitute is needed.” Ah, so that's what happened.
[“So, are you going?”]
“I'm in the middle of thinking. What about you, Crow Tit-nim?”
“If you go, I have to go.” What would the Crow Tit do alone at home. Protect the house or something.
