‘Happy Birthday 

Oppa~’

‘Thanks~’

‘Why did you 

leave so early 

this morning? 

I was going to 

make you pancake

 for breakfast.’

‘Maybe some

other time, 

Hyeran, 

don’t worry, 

I’ll try your

pancake eventually.’

‘You could’ve at

 least told me 

you’re leaving;

 you know what

 it feels like when

 I wake up and

 find that you’re 

not sleeping next

 to me, that you’re

 already gone?’

‘Sorry, 

but I couldn’t bring

myself to wake 

you up, you looked

so sweet when 

you’re asleep.’

‘I put on your 

birthday gift, 

by the way~ 

How’d you know

I needed a new 

hand cream?’

‘I don’t,

 I just thought the

 smell suited you, 

that’s all.

 It’s not too girly,

 right?’

‘Of course not!

It smells nice, 

I love it. 

But that gift is 

nothing compared 

to what we did 

last night. 

That sense of 

satisfaction!’

‘Don’t even bring

 it up, Oppa,

 it’s embarrassing. 

And exhausting! 

I never knew it 

could be that 

exhausting!’

‘Ya, 

who are you 

to say you were 

exhausted? I did

most of the work 

last night!’

‘You’re the one 

who wanted to

 do it so badly.

 I thought you 

knew what you 

were doing, but 

turns out you don’t.’

‘I do know what 

I was doing!!

I didn’t work

on my muscles

for nothing.’

‘Your muscles didn’t

help much last

 night now did it?’

‘Because it’s more

of a skill than just 

plain force, Hyeran ah.’

‘And in the end

 I had to teach 

you how to do 

it! Don’t you 

men ever read 

the instruction’s

 manual? It’s there

 for a reason!’

‘I could’ve put

the couch together

myself without looking

at it if it weren’t

for you telling me

to do this and that.’

‘Because my parents

 could be back 

any minute and

 I promised them

 my brother and I 

will get it done 

before their return!’

‘Well in the end, 

we did get it 

done on time.’

‘Aigoo, 

next time, 

just stay out of it,

 Oppa,

 who knows what’ll 

happen if you hurt 

yourself!’

‘What kind of man

can’t even assemble

pieces of furniture

together?’

‘I’m not saying

 you can’t, Oppa, 

I’m just saying 

that you should 

avoid getting hurt.’

‘I’m regretting 

something now,

Hyeran ah.’

‘What?’

‘I should’ve held 

you tighter last 

night in my sleep.’

‘Thank goodness 

you didn’t or 

brother would’ve 

broken your arm

 in two.’

‘Darn it, 

if only we could

sleep in your room

instead of the

living room.’

‘LOL, 

then you wouldn’t

 be allowed to 

spend a night at 

my place at all, 

Oppa!

 Mum and dad’s been 

a bit sensitive lately.’

‘About what?’

‘They kept telling

 me to go on blind 

dates…they think

 you’re the reason 

I kept rejecting 

them.’

‘Well…am I?’

‘No…

I just don’t want

 to yet, that’s all.’

‘So that’s why

they’re not as 

friendly as they

used to be when 

I come over…’

‘I think they

 finally understand

 that you’re here 

just as my friend 

and not as someone

 else.’

‘Well next time,

come to my place,

we’ll be freer there

won’t we?’

‘But I’ll have 

the urge to clean 

your place whenever 

I go there, Oppa.’

‘We can clean

it together! 

Why not?’

‘Sure, 

if you promise to 

play PUBG with me.’

‘No problemo~’

‘I’ll order chicken

too, the way 

you like it.’

‘I prefer pizza.’

‘We can order

pizza then!’

‘Bye, got to go.’
