My girlfriend is so good to me - Episode 10
Ep. 10
I took a few new two-shot selfies with Heena while wearing glasses that I had never used in my life. We walked around a little more and chatted..
When I pass by the SPA clothing brands that are located in many shopping malls like this, I try out various clothes..
"I think you'll look good in shorts like these.."
"After a while, I'll probably get sick of wearing shorts because of the heat..."
"so do i! In the summer, it's good to wear a simple tee on top, so let's try a couple look.~"
"Can’t summer really come soon??"
The couple look is so romantic. Although it is good to match accessories and shoes,.
While I was checking out all the stores that caught my eye, I also stopped by the arcade near the entrance to the movie theater..
However, I wasn't the type of person who enjoyed arcade games that much. Since I didn't know how to do anything in particular, I walked around the shopping mall on a whim and came in. Heena and I slowly looked around the inside..
"These days, there are all sorts of games out there.."
"I don't like these games?"
"If you come with friends, whatever you do is fun, but it's not enough to come alone.."
Playing with friends is actually fun in its own way, even if you just kick around stones on the street..
"Then something like that?"
"Well.. Ah, a basketball game.?"
What Heena was pointing to was a basketball game that I honestly don't know the exact name of, but is almost 100% available in every arcade..
Actually, it's a basketball game, but it's no different from a ball throwing game. To get a good score, you have to throw it mechanically, like juggling with one hand..
Still, it's a pretty fun game to play once in a while when you have some spare time after watching a movie..
"Yeah, I like basketball?"
"I like basketball. That's a little different from basketball..."
"okay?"
"Do you remember throwing a ball during an elementary school sports day??"
"I remember"
"It's almost the same as that. The point is that you just throw it in and stick to it quickly.."
"Ah, that kind of feeling?"
"There's no need to do that if you're just having fun, but since I'm here, I'll give it a try just once.?"
"huh! Let's do it together!"
-crackling
I almost ran straight to the coin exchange machine and exchanged 1,000 won bills. If I was even a moment behind, Heena would take out her wallet, so I couldn't afford to hesitate..
After taking the coins, the two of us stand side by side in front of the game machine. And I wanted to briefly explain the game, but when I thought about it, there was nothing I could do..
"When the ball comes down, just catch it and put it in the goal.."
"Okay, fighting!"
"go for it!!"
-Rattling, rattling
500When I put in two won coins, the retro sound that was playing softly as background music picked up speed..
After a while, four basketball balls come rolling down..
I quickly grabbed one before it even reached the end, took a light stance, and threw it. I'm not trying to score points, I'm just having fun with Heena, but I think it would be funny to do it too forcefully..
The left hand only supports!
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!
─Two point !
A scoring call that is made when the ball passes cleanly through the rim, accompanied by the sound of a chain instead of the rim net..
"Doing well after a year~"
The game started, but Heena's praise for giving priority to looking at me rather than throwing the ball reached my ears..
Isn't it for this moment that I've been playing basketball??
Encouraged by Heena's praise, he throws them one by one, focusing on throwing them well rather than speeding them up..
Heena was also throwing as hard as she could with both hands. But she was putting it better than I thought..
─Two Point !
"It would be worth it if you played a game of basketball with me.?"
"really?"
"really!"
─Two Point !
─Three Points !
─Three Points !
~
─Three Points !
Although the speed is not fast, the score rate is high, and during the 3-point time given in the last 15 seconds, I threw the ball in a trance without saying a word and cleared stage 1 with a high score..
I wanted to talk leisurely and not get lost like this, but I ended up getting immersed in it..
Anyway, I cleared it, but even though this may not seem like a big deal, it is a game that puts more strain on your arms than you might think. Because I have to keep catching the ball from below and throwing it upwards over and over again..
I am a man, and I enjoy playing basketball almost every day, so I am not tired already. However, it could be a burden for women..
I didn't see the ball coming from Heena at the end, so she probably stopped halfway because she was having a hard time..
With that thought in mind, I released my arms and turned my head to look at Heena..
uh..?
"It's Heena?"
There.
I saw Heena's face looking at me with tears in her eyes, holding a basketball in both hands. For some reason, even though she was crying, there was a smile on her lips..
"Are you hurt?! Look at your hands!"
However, as I was embarrassed, I thought I might have hit my hand somewhere while throwing the ball, so I threw the ball inside, grabbed Heena's wrist, and looked at her hand first..
Fortunately, there were no visible wounds..
Then why did I suddenly shed tears?.
Heena wiped her eyes with her hand and opened her mouth as I was speechless and didn't know what to do..
"You're not hurt, Yeonhuya. It's because I was straining my eyes to concentrate and got a little tired.."
It was not easy to take Heena's words as she said that and took out a tissue from her bag. Of course, she didn't look like she was hurt anywhere, and she didn't look particularly sick or sad..
Just a moment ago, we started playing the game while chatting happily, but within a moment, he was crying and looking at me. I couldn't even guess why it was like that..
"It's true! I opened my eyes wide and they suddenly became very dry.."
However, there is no reason not to believe Heena’s claim..
"Phew.. no, you suddenly started crying so I thought you bumped into something and got hurt.."
"Sorry. Oh, I'm going to go to the bathroom for a moment.."
"Yeah, I'll be waiting here."
very little. The feeling of something being caught was buried in a corner of her heart..
After a while, as soon as Heena returned, she left the arcade, feeling a little uneasy, looked around the shopping mall a little more, and then went out..
There was enough to see, and since we hadn't had lunch, we had to have a late meal..
At least I had a bite of the food from the street vendor, but Heena almost ate nothing during lunch. You must be hungry because all I gave you was one piece of charcoal skewer..
So, since it was a long-awaited date, I tried to eat something decent, even if it wasn't expensive, but Heena dissuaded me and designated a place..
So the place I ended up going to was.
"....Hamburger is delicious?"
"Yeah~ I like hamburgers."
"No, I like it too, but.."
"It's okay~"
A fast food restaurant at the place where we first met..
Although it seemed a bit odd, Heena asked me to come first, and I was still enjoying the hamburger I ordered, so I didn't have anything to say. Because honestly, that's me because she didn't care what she ate as long as it was good for Heena..
Moreover, it was so cute to cut off the end of the hamburger and eat it little by little like a squirrel with its small mouth..
I thought, this is good as is..
---
After a quick meal.
Where will Heena go now with her bright face? He grabbed me and dragged me. But a part of my heart felt too uncomfortable to keep walking around like this..
You might be wondering what's wrong with trying to send it away as soon as I've eaten something, but I haven't eaten anything since this morning. I couldn't just let it go because I was afraid I would fall down while I was going..
Of course, you won't really collapse if you starve for one or two meals. Still, I feel a little uneasy because Heena looks so thin and fragile..
I too had a burning desire to spend time with Heena until late this evening. However, the image of Heena shedding tears in the arcade still bothers her..
Whatever the reason may be.
"...It's really, really good.."
"know. Still, I'm worried.."
"....huh."
When I decide to leave today, I feel visibly discouraged. I was also sad about it, but also happy that it showed that way..
It's already 5 o'clock.
It feels a little early to break up, but I think it wasn't a bad day for a first date..
"Because today is not the only day. It's a date, you can do it again at any time."
"yes.."
"So, will you lighten up your expression? Or shall I see you tomorrow too??"
"I'd like to, but tomorrow I'm going to visit my brother..."
"Well then, I'll see you later tomorrow or on Monday. I'll go there."
"okay.."
Even though he agrees, his face still looks so gloomy that my heart aches. I consoled her little by little and saw her off to her stop..
Actually, I wanted to walk her closer to the house, but Heena was against that. She said there was no need to go back and forth.
Soon, as the bus she was to board got closer, they exchanged greetings for the last time..
"Today was really fun. Heena, you are so pretty too."
"Yeah me too.."
She answered like that and slowly wrapped her hands around my waist..
-Kkook
Before I had time to react, Heena hugged me with her arms around me..
At that moment, my mind went blank and my arms wandered for a moment, but I quickly came to my senses and hugged her..
Heena's scent, which had been subtly tickling my nose all day today, felt a little stronger..
"I really enjoyed it too."
"Yes, be careful going in. Tell me when you arrive."
"You do it too. Also, I won't go this early on our next date. Understand?"
"of course. I won't let you go."
"This too is a promise."
"yes, promise."
Just like before, I put my little finger and stamp it..
After that, she headed to the bus that had just arrived..
"Then I'll contact you later.!"
"Yeah~ be careful!"
"you also!"
With those words, the bus carrying Heena slowly moved away..
Only then do I slowly relive today’s date while scratching my head..
A day where I was led by Heena all day long. I don't necessarily believe that men should take the lead, but I still felt a little pathetic thinking about it myself..
Moreover, compared to Heena, who took care of various things for me, I feel like I haven't done much for her..
I wasn't sure whether sending Heena off early because of work at the arcade was a good thing or not. I wonder if it would have been nice to spend more time with her and make her laugh..
It was already too late.
"Phew, yes. I'll do better next time."
With that promise, I headed back to the shopping mall. I was thinking about buying things like handkerchiefs. I thought that next time I should do what I learned from watching Heena today..
I wanted to show that I am improving little by little..
Make it pretty for me,
Making an effort for our date,
For her who mourns the breakup at the same time.
