He slightly nodded to me as he distorted his face into a strange expression. When I was about to ask why Eun Jiho sat aside, he asked,

"Hey, can you eat the cup noodle with your scarf like that?"

He seemed to be asking Ban Yeoryeong. The lilac scarf was covering not only her lips but also her nose, so it looked impossible for her to eat the noodles with it.

Yoo Chunyoung also pulled down his face mask and let it hang onto his chin. He then sat down beside me.

Ban Yeoryeong frowned as she replied to Eun Jiho while touching the scarf.

"I can!"

"Are you going to be on the TV show, 'How is that Possible?'"

As I looked at her with wonder, Eun Jiho responded at a loss for words. Her reply to eating a cup noodle like that also seemed to be an act of sheer bravado to me.

She kept touching the scarf and spoke to me with her still reddened eyes.

"I will never take this off."

"...?"

"N... Nari put this around me."

She then touched the tip of the gray scarf again. 

I turned my head on another side with that thought in my mind. Eunhyung's eyes were directed at my direction. He gently smiled. This situation seemed quite funny to him. As I was gawking at him, Eun Jiho's low voice resonated all over us.

"Then, are you two marrying each other or something?"

Ban Yeoryeong slowly turned to Eun Jiho like an owl. "Yes."

"Eh-!"

Ban Yeoryeog's calm voice was filled with conviction great enough to catch me off guard. 'Khoff Khak Khak'. Yun Nari also choked on her noodles. I heard someone else too coughing strangely nearby, so I looked around wondering who it was. Yoo Chunyoung. It's strange for he rarely went down the wrong pipe.

She looked so lovely as she flushed, turning her pale face into a pinkish color. However, wasn't it quite dangerous to blush in this situation?

As I stretched my hands to tap her back, Eun Jiho's low voice rang from within my ears once again.

Then I also began coughing like a mad woman.

"Then we should change the law. We'll have to make same-sex marriage legal in Korea for you two."

"Khoff, Khak! Khak!"

Oh gosh, how crazy was this world that even a sixteen-year-old boy could even change the law!? Although we're inside a novel, this was still insane!

As I patted Yun Nari's back, I coughed harshly. Eventually, I fell on her. This time, it was Chunyoung who was taken aback as he looked back at us with a baffled expression. He then began patting my back as well.

While we were fussing around not even touching a strand of the noodles, Woo Juin asked in a tone filled with curiosity.

"Wow! Jiho, you can even change the law?"

"Are you kidding me? Of course, it's a joke."

Then I stopped coughing and clenched my fist above the ground. As I scowled at Eun Jiho, he looked puzzled.

I... I thought you could really do that.

Eun Hyung had a gentle smile looking at us. He then spoke as he swept his red hair.
