Chapter 11 : Weekend

Weekend.

If it were normal, I would have spent my time searching the internet for useful self-defense items, exercising, or watching TV at home, but today was different.

It was the first day I made plans to go out with a friend.

And I was the one who suggested it first.

Up until now, I had been reluctant to go out except for school, but there were many things I wanted to repay Seoyoon for, so I suggested this outing.

Seoyoon had been complaining recently that she had nothing to do on the weekends…

No matter what the reason, today is an important day.

I won’t make the same mistake I made at the department store last time.

I know for sure that crowded places are dangerous, so I’ll be okay now.

I’m going to give Seoyoon the perfect weekend based on the information I’ve accumulated so far!

“Okay.”

I didn’t forget my glasses and makeup, but I dressed up as best I could with what I had.

I wore a gray T-shirt underneath, a white shirt over it, and finished it off with jeans.

I guess it’s because I usually only wear my school uniform.

It feels awkward to wear this…

Still, since it’s a fashion recommended on the internet, it shouldn’t look awkward to other people.

No, it’s enough if Seoyoon doesn’t look weird.

Chew chew chew.

Seoyoon, I’ll wait in front of the school.

Let’s meet there by 12 o’clock.

Send.

Yeah! I’ll be right there, Miro!

Reply quickly.

It’s only 11 o’clock…

Were you just looking at your phone? That must be how much Seoyoon is looking forward to today

… I’ll have to reorganize my plan on the way.

First, let’s go to the park near the school and have a light lunch.

For lunch, I’ll make a sandwich that I packed myself.

… It’s just an ordinary egg sandwich, but will Seoyoon like it? She’s a rich girl, so she probably has a fancy palate…

Yeah, let’s be confident.

We worked hard since dawn to make it.

After lunch, we’ll go to a nearby comic book cafe and read the original comic book of the animation that Seoyoon said was popular recently.

You can reserve a separate room at the comic book cafe, so you don’t have to worry about someone coming in, and you can order drinks and food, so she’ll definitely like it.

After spending some time at the comic book cafe, we’ll go to an arcade with fewer people and play games together.

I also did some research in advance because I heard that Seo-yoon likes old arcade games.

Hehe.

For the finale, we’ll go to a pasta restaurant that we’ve made a reservation for and have a fancy dinner.

I already got my weekly salary from the store manager for today, so I’m fully prepared.

All that’s left is to carry out the plan perfectly!

“Miroya~ Have you been waiting long?”

“Ugh, I just got here.”

As I stood in front of the school, thinking about the plan, I didn’t realize how much time had passed.

Seo-yoon was running towards me from afar.

“Huh…? It’s still early.”

I took out my phone and checked the time, and it was 11:30.

Did I make the appointment at 11:00 instead of 12:00?

“Seo-yoon, it would have been okay if you rested a little longer at home. Did you come out right after I called?”

“Hehe, I wanted to meet Miro soon, so I prepared everything in advance and waited.”

“…Yeah. I’m glad.”

“Miro…”

“Okay, let’s have fun today, Seoyoon.”

Hold.

I hesitated for a moment, but I made up my mind and grabbed Seoyoon’s hand tightly.

This level of skinship isn’t that rare in this world…

In the first place, Seoyoon hugs me all the time, so this is a little too much.

“Whew…’

“Should we start from the park?”

“Uh, yeah…”

Holding hands, we walked leisurely toward the park.

The surrounding scenery was not much different from when we usually went home, but for some reason, it looked different today.

It felt a little brighter and more cheerful.

What could be the reason…

Because Seoyoon was next to me…?

No, Seoyoon was always with me.

“That, Miro…”

“Huh?”

“Ah… Ah… It’s nothing…”

Looking at Seoyoon, who was shyly lowering her head, I could clearly see the reason.

It was probably because today was our first outing together.

It wasn’t just a quick stop after school, but our first outing as friends.

Ta-ta-ta

We walked in silence for a while, but I could feel the atmosphere surrounding us gradually warming up.

Today, it seemed like it would be a really good day.

After arriving at the park and sitting on an empty bench, I finally let go of the hand I was holding.

I couldn’t help but take out the sandwich in my bag, but I felt a little regretful.

Why is that?

…I just have to take it out now.

But I don’t have the courage.

“That, Seo-yoon…”

“Huh…?”

“Do you like sandwiches?”

You never know.

Seo-yoon might not like sandwiches…

If she does, let’s go somewhere else and eat.

I can eat the sandwiches by myself when I get home.

“Miro.”

Hug.

“I like sandwiches.”

“…Yeah.”

Seo-yoon’s lips were faintly smiling as she placed her hand on my thigh.

Seo-yoon knew everything…

I feel like an idiot for trying to hide it.

“I made this myself. I wanted to eat it with Seo-yoon… It’s my first time making it, but I looked at the recipe carefully so I think it’ll be okay.”

“Yeah. Miro, can I ask you something?”

“…What is it?”

“Why did you make the sandwich yourself? Miro must have had a hard time.”

Thump, thump―

Why did you wake up at the crack of dawn and make a sandwich?

Of course.

I didn’t make it without thinking.

It’s just that I don’t want Seoyoon to find out…

I wasn’t like this when I was a man, but maybe my personality changed because I was born a woman.

I don’t know why I was like that, because I’m so emotional…

“It’s okay. Tell me.”

“…You won’t tease me, right?”

“Yeah, yeah. There’s no way I’d tease Miro.”

To begin with, Seoyoon has never teased me or anything like that before. What was I afraid of?

“Well… Today, Seoyoon and I made plans to go outside for the first time.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“So, I thought it would be nice to have something… something to commemorate. Even after several years, something memorable enough to recall today.”

The first friend I made.

My precious friend.

In this world where no one knows me, where I, a man, am denied in every way.

In this world where even my parents are dead.

…The only person who approached me first.

Because I wanted to make memories with Seo-yoon.

Kkoo-ok-il.

“Ah, sleep! Wait… Let me go, Seo-yoon…”

“No~! Just hold me!”

“O”

Ugh…

I thought about struggling to get away, but Seo-yoon’s warm embrace made me decide to stay still for a while.

Today is a special day.

“Miro. Where are you going next?”

“Huh?”

“After eating all this, where are you going next? I’d be fine just sitting in the park with Miro.”

“Ah, yeah. We’re going to a comic book cafe.”

“A comic book cafe?”

“Didn’t you say Seo-yoon enjoyed an animation when we talked last time? Idol manga… I thought it would be good to read the original.”

‘…You even remembered such trivial things?”

“Yeah.”

“Hehe, I’m happy…”

Since Seoyoon was approaching me with her arms outstretched, I realized the omen and avoided her.

“Today’s hugging is over.”

“It’s fatal!”

Seoyoon might be okay, but it’s hell for the person being hugged.

How could I endure it when the perfect pretty girl of my type is hugging me defenselessly?

It was okay at first, but it got hotter as time went on.

Huh?

After pouring the remaining sandwich into my mouth, I got up from my seat. It’s better to eat slowly, but Seoyoon had already finished eating and was looking at me, so I don’t want to make her wait any longer.

“Let’s go, Seoyoon.”

“Yeah!”

Hug-

Ugh…

I tried to grab Seoyoon’s hand this time too, but I lost the lead. Seoyoon grabbed my hand first.

And that too, with our hands intertwined.

Seoyoon didn’t let go of my hand until we arrived at the comic book cafe, so right before we arrived, I felt like my hand was going to burn from Seoyoon’s body heat.

…I shouldn’t hold on to her like this next time.

Others might misunderstand if they see me, and I’m more worried that I’ll misunderstand more than anything.

“Welcome, customer!”

“Hello.”

“Is this your first time at our store?”

“Yes. Oh, I just got the general information. There will be two of us, so…can we go into the couple room?”

“…Hehe. Okay! Here, take the key and go into room 5!”

“…Yes.”

You must have misunderstood something strange.

Of course, the name of the two-person room here is a couple room…

Seo-yoon and I aren’t exactly a couple…

We’re close friends, though.

I grumbled to myself, but my complaints disappeared in an instant when I saw Seo-yoon’s cheerful appearance next to me.

So what if I was misunderstood? I just want Seo-yoon to be happy.

Clap-.

“It’s better than I thought.”

“Yeah, yeah. It’s my first time at a comic book cafe… It’s really nice.”

The couple room that I opened with the key and went in had much better facilities than I expected.

Of course, there was a kiosk to order food and drinks, and there were blankets, pillows, and even a hugging doll.

And, the condom that I don’t know why is there.

…Why did you put that in there? Anyway, if it looks fine, there’s something wrong.

“Miro, mairo! I guess I can order comics here!”

“…The world has really become a better place. This kind of thing is possible.”

“Huh? Have you been to a comic cafe, Miro?”

“Huh, I guess I looked up old information.”

The biggest difference from the comic cafe I knew in my previous life was.

It was that you could comfortably order any comic or novel you wanted from inside your room.

You search for the comic you want and order it, and the staff will bring it to your room…

That’s amazing.

Huh, but it’s still a bit romantic.

There’s also the fun of wandering around a comic cafe and finding a comic you never thought of.

Well, I came today with a set goal.

“I found my favorite.”

After searching for the comic Seoyoon had mentioned, I pressed the order button.

I also ordered a drink to go with it.

“What’s Seoyoon going to drink?”

“Matcha latte!”

“Matcha…”

It’s here.

“I ordered it.”

“Thank you, I’ll pay later!”

“…I was going to buy it for you.”

“No~! Didn’t Miro buy it for you at the convenience store last time? It’s my turn to buy it today. Hehe.”

Seo-yoon secretly values ​​this kind of thing. Well, this is also a good thing about my friend.

Then, even though I don’t have to wait for the comics and drinks to arrive…

I’ll sit down and chat with Seo-yoon.

Me…

“Miroya.”

“Huh?”

“Lie down here.”

“…Huh?”

I was about to chat or… tremble.

“Go to sleep, quickly.”

Seoyoon, who had placed a blanket on my thighs, tapped and pointed at my thighs, and my heart wavered.

Surely, it would be soft if I laid my head on it…

in this world…

would it be normal…?

Yeah.

It would be.
