The next day of Yua’s vacation came quickly.

After I finished cleaning the room perfectly, I was satisfied with the new furniture arrangement.

The beam projector and screen were a bit in the way, but I couldn’t rearrange them.

I had decided to do an octopus game screening with Yua today.

Sniff sniff.

I was checking to see if there was any smell of a single father in the room…

[Hey. The call button for your house’s common entrance isn’t working?]

I received a text from Yua and ran outside.

Come to think of it, I heard that the call button for the common entrance was broken a few days ago.

So I had no choice but to tell her the entrance password or open it from the inside.

I went down to the first floor and apologized to her.

“Sorry. I forgot. The call button here is broken.”

When I quickly opened the door, Yua was standing in front of it.

She was wearing slightly oversized shorts and a white tank top as an inner layer, and a shirt over her head.

It was a casual but somewhat sexy outfit that caught my eye.

Last time, you said you were wearing revealing clothes, so did you really care about this?

I glanced at her and walked up to my room with her.

I walked up the stairs to the second floor, opened the door to my room wide, and bowed to her.

“Welcome. Welcome, Master.”

“What? Why am I your master? Are you crazy? Did you eat something wrong today?”

I finally welcomed you, but you responded coldly.

Then, “Then what should I say? Get out of my room. You evil demon?”

“So why are you so polar opposites…”

Yua finally stepped into our house, dumbfounded.

She took off her sneakers in the small shoe cabinet and took her first step.

“How is it? How do you feel about coming to my house?”

“Well. It’s just like nothing special.”

That’s too much.

But since it’s true that nothing special, I just kept my mouth shut.

More important than that was whether she would notice this room.

The very same viewer room peeking content I did a few days ago.

It was important whether she would notice that it was the first room she had seen there or not.

I looked at her looking around my room anxiously.

“Hmm…?”

She looked around the room while making a strange sound.

Why would she make a sound like that and make people shiver?

That girl.

When I was groaning, Yua noticed it and looked at me with a strange look.

“Hey, what’s really wrong with you today? Are you a little strange? You’ve been acting low since earlier. You’ve been fidgeting too?”

“W-I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

I tried my best to pretend not to know.

Then Yua turned her head as if she didn’t understand.

“Why are you panicking? No, but more than that, why does your house feel so familiar? It’s definitely your first time since you moved?”

“Ugh.”

It stung and a corner of my heart prickled.

I had forgotten that Yua had a good memory.

Why is her memory so good when she’s not smart?

Come to think of it, she was incredibly good at memorizing things.

That kid.

“No way. You’re an exhibitionist pervert, so you sneaked into my house to rip me off, right?”

“No way! And who the hell are you to say you’re an exhibitionist pervert! Do you want to die?”

“Then you’re mistaken. Just hurry inside. How long are you going to stand there?”

I grabbed Yua’s shoulder and forced her inside.

I can’t let Yua care about the interior of the house any longer.

The longer I look at her, the more likely she is to notice.

Anyway, it still felt like something was vague.

… Still, I tried hard.

Rearranging the furniture wasn’t easy.

And I couldn’t change the furniture itself because I didn’t have money.

Still, I tried my best.

If she found out, I had no choice but to open the door and let her go.

I sat Yua down on the sofa in the middle of the studio and took a canned drink out of the fridge and handed it to her.

“Is that it? Pepsi Lime Zero?”

“Oh, that’s it. You like that.”

Actually, I went to the convenience store yesterday and bought it.

It was to provide drinks that Yua would like at the screening.

I was amazed at my own meticulousness and stuck my tongue out.

At this level, there was no other dating expert.

And then I asked her what I was really curious about.

“…So you’re going to sleep over at my house?”

Actually, I was most curious about the contents of that text message since yesterday.

I was debating whether to ask or not, but I decided to ask when I got home.

Because if I asked before I got home, I might change my mind because I saw her true feelings.

“Yeah. I’m going to sleep over.”

“Why?”

“I have to leave early in the morning because of my schedule tomorrow. This place is closer to the station than my house.”

“Just because of that?”

“What other reason do you need?”

“…Ah.”

It was just because of such a trivial reason.

I was filled with disappointment.

How on earth are you going to live up to my expectations?

That guy Rikyuel.

Yua looked at my regretful face for a moment, then blushed slightly and asked,

“….You weren’t thinking something strange, were you?”

“Yes. How could you not? A girl comes to my house and sleeps over. It would be rude as a man not to think that way.”

“What kind of rationalization is that…what the heck…”

“You and I aren’t friends or anything. We’re just like that, right? Isn’t that right?”

“Uh…uh… that’s true…”

When I spoke honestly, Yua looked flustered.

It seemed like I didn’t have any intentions whatsoever.

She must have been staying in my room purely as a friend.

Well, that kind of thing happened a lot before.

It wasn’t strange.

That misunderstanding was largely due to the drastic change in our relationship.

“…That’s true…but anyway, it’s not like that! Okay?”

“Kkabi.”

“Don’t call me Kkabi! Don’t be sad!”

I mean, I’m sad.

I thought the atmosphere would get weird if I kept joking around like this.

I quickly decided to proceed with today’s prepared screening.

I operated the remote control to lower the screen and turn on the beam projector.

“It’s real. A beam projector.”

“Then are you going to joke around with this?”

Yua is amazed.

I give her a proper response and finish setting up the screening.

I turn off the lights in the room and hang the padding on a hanger to block out the light coming in during the day…

I think this is enough.

Then I sit down next to Yua on the sofa where she is sitting.

“Then let’s watch it. This season 1 alone will be over 8 hours long, so if we watch it now, it’ll be over in the afternoon.”

“Oh, okay. Then let’s start quickly.”

Anyway, I had to watch the whole series today.

So Yua and I sit on the sofa and start the screening.

As expected, it’s fun to watch again…

The process of Park Ki-hoon, who ruined his life, being invited to the octopus game at the beginning.

When the slap and tag game came out, Yua flinched, but other than that, there was nothing special.

The story progressed and the octopus game began, changing the flow.

The first murder occurred in the [Mugunghwa Flower Has Blossomed] part.

A large sculpture doll captures a moving person with a camera attached to its eye.

Bang!

One of the participants is killed with a loud explosion and bleeding.

Then, people run away screaming in surprise, and more people die because of it.

Although it was expressed as a black comedy and not too cruel.

“Whoa! What the! Are they really dying like that? Ugh…”

Yua turned her head towards me as if she couldn’t see it.

Can’t you see this?

What the? Is this a show of force?

For a moment, I thought that.

There were even crueler scenes later, so I wondered how she was going to watch it.

I suggest to her, using my experience with Black Escape that she was scared of last time.

“…If you’re scared, would you come closer?”

I clearly said that it would be less scary if you were close.

Then, Yua looked at me as if she was flustered for a moment.

Then she suddenly nodded her head hastily and said to me, “Uh…yeah…I’ll go that way…”

Then she slowly approached me.

She wasn’t trying to flirt.

She was just doing it because she was scared.

No, actually, she was 99% trying to flirt.

Yua slowly approached me and buried her face in her arms.

As if she was too scared to look.

“…Huh?”

I looked at Yua, who was flustered and held in my arms.

… But it wasn’t like this?

Did she become dull because she hadn’t played horror games recently?

Since Rikyuel was good at shooting games, she had played games with pretty brutal scenes.

She was surprised every time, but she didn’t tremble like this…

I think she hasn’t been trained because she’s been playing too many comfortable games recently.

Thinking that I should let her play some scary games with a large sum of money from now on, I gently put her in my arms.

“Ugh, tell me when you’re done. I’ll stay like this for a while.”

“Okay.”

She said in a timid voice in my arms.

That stimulated my need for protection, so I just thought she was cute.

… Honestly, it was a lie to say that I was scared.

It’s true that I’m a coward, but I’ve trained myself while playing games.

I’ve played games like GTA, and they’re not that cruel.

So, honestly, this is just enough to make me frown.

It’s not so cruel that I can’t stand it.

However, when I turned my head in surprise, Jibin told me to come over.

At that moment, my quiet thought circuits started spinning.

This is my chance…

Yua…

This is my chance…

The feminine instinct inside me was telling me.

I told him innocently, as if I was scared, without knowing anything.

“Ah…yeah…you want to go that way…”

Jibin opened his side, and I took advantage of that gap and dug into his arms.

Honestly, I didn’t know it would work this far, but Jibin resisted less than I thought.

“Ugh, tell me when you’re done. I’ll stay like this for a bit.”

Now, whatever the drama content was, I was happy.

My goal was basically achieved with this.

I honestly wanted to watch the octopus game, but that wasn’t important anymore.

I calmed my pounding heart in his arms.

I rested my head on his chest and sniffed him without him noticing.

A reassuring smell flowed into my nose.

A slightly addictive, pleasant fabric softener mixed with Jibin’s familiar body scent.

To me, it felt like a drug.

Is it true that there are research results that say you can feel the sweat of your crush?

…I also thought that maybe it was true.

“People are done dying. You can open your eyes now.”

Jibin whispered to me softly.

I felt a great sense of regret when I heard that and pulled my body out of his embrace.

Honestly, I wanted to hold him more, but if I was going to act coy, I had to act properly.

If I got caught acting coy, I wouldn’t be able to use this properly.

Now, whenever a cruel scene comes up…

I can hold Jibin… and legally…

I felt saliva rising at the corners of my mouth and turned my head back to the screen.

But I never moved away from him.

We were much closer than before; our legs were touching.

We maintained that distance.

That’s when the video progressed, and I watched episode 4.

I was really engrossed in the content and watching it when suddenly a man and a woman headed to the bathroom.

[Uhh… Uhh…]

Wouldn’t this just be a blatant Yasshin?

It was a scene where a woman was flirting with a man to protect her and eat her team.

I was flustered because this scene suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“Ah… There was this scene… Ssup.”

It seemed like Jibin had forgotten too.

His flustered look was obvious.

A quiet, completely dark one-room with the curtains drawn.

A space where strange moaning sounds echoed.

And Jibin and I awkwardly staring at this scene.

Jibin couldn’t stand it anymore and turned his head away from the screen.

Of course, he was uncomfortable with the scene, and I turned my head away, but our eyes met.

“Ah.”

“Uh…”

…Ah.

What should I do with this atmosphere…

Seriously…
