Chapter 22 - « This is so...»

Chung Tae Ho and Kim So-hee sat on the couch. Kim So-hee had already told Chung Tae Ho why she was kicked out.

• Well, I understand that. But why is that... uh... I mean, why is she so obsessed with your balls?

• No one really knows that.

• Got it.

Chung Tae Ho stood up.

• Stay here, I'll be right back.

He went to another room.

"Just left like that..."

Kim So-hee thought with a hint of disappointment.

"Why am I even disappointed? That's not like me."

Then Chung Tae Ho came back into the room. He approached Kim So-hee, placed his hand on her head, and stroked it.

• Let me ask you something. What are you doing, huh?

• Nothing, here.

Chung Tae Ho extended his hand with a t-shirt in it.

• You'll sleep in my room.

Kim So-hee took the t-shirt.

• Uh... Okay. As you say. But you wanted this yourself.

• Yeah. Now go change.

Kim So-hee walked to Chung Tae Ho's room.

She put on the oversized t-shirt he gave her.

"Just as I thought, this t-shirt is too big for me. But it's fine, it's okay."

Kim So-hee thought.

"Hm... I noticed it before, but he's tall and broad-shouldered. Compared to Ho Soo Min, Chung Tae Ho looks taller, more confident, and... "

Kim So-hee caught herself thinking that Ho Soo Min was worse than Chung Tae Ho.

"Yeah, stop it. I like Ho Soo Min, and he's definitely more handsome and better than Chung Tae Ho."

Even though Kim So-hee thought this, the image of Chung Tae Ho kept appearing in her mind.

Meanwhile, Chung Tae Ho was standing, leaning against the table. He was blushing again.

"Kim So-hee will be wearing my t-shirt."

This thought made him feel weak.

"Of course, I knew she wasn't scary, but when she looked up at me... Why does she have such a face? Is it even legal to have such a beautiful face and eyes?"

Chung Tae Ho exhaled and straightened up.

"Pull yourself together, Chung Tae Ho. Why do you care if she's wearing your t-shirt..."

At that moment, Kim So-hee came out of the room.

• Hey, do you have a smaller t-shirt?

"I take back my words. She's SO CUTE!!!"

• Uh... No. This is the smallest one I have.

"I never thought I'd be happy about this."

He thought about the t-shirt.

• Do you want to watch something?

• Sure. But only if you have something to eat.

Chung Tae Ho laughed.

• Alright. Go sit on the couch. I'll get something to eat.

• Okay.

Chung Tae Ho brought food. They started watching Harry Potter, from the very first movie.

While watching, they discussed everything, literally everything. From the characters to the plot.

They often laughed at some sad scenes, like Cedric Diggory's death, Snape's death, and so on. They even cried. Even Chung Tae Ho, who was always "cool" and serious.

At 4:27 AM, they were watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

In the middle of the movie, Kim So-hee fell asleep, sitting like Aladdin. When her head started to fall, Chung Tae Ho caught it.

He turned off the TV. Then he took Kim So-hee in his arms and carried her to the room.

"I knew she wasn't heavy, but she's as light as a feather. And even cute when she's sleeping."

In the room, Chung Tae Ho used one hand to grab a blanket and the other to hold Kim So-hee.

He laid her down on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

Chung Tae Ho went back to the couch and lay down to sleep.

While Kim So-hee was peacefully sleeping, she dreamed of the moment in the shop when Chung Tae Ho hid his blushing face with his hand. And the thought she had about it: "That was so cute."

Meanwhile, while Kim So-hee slept soundly, Chung Tae Ho couldn't fall asleep.
