Seulgi looked embarrassed when heard Irene's question. After all, this was a relatively private matter. Usually, only real couples would know such things. It's also the first time Seulgi told any girl this. How could he not feel shy?
Seulgi leaned close to Irene's ear and whispered, "My waist measurement is..."
Only Irene could hear the important number at the end of the sentence. After all, Jennie was still here and she's his aunt. It wouldn't be very good if his aunt knew his measurements. Moreover, Seulgi knew how narrow-minded his uncle was. He didn't want to be tortured by his uncle as soon as he got out.
Seulgi looked at Irene and said softly, "Can you remember it?"
Irene blushed and nodded. Of course, she remembered it. How else would she buy any clothing for him? Irene took a few steps back shyly and then looked at Jennie. She somehow felt that she was being made fun of in front of everybody.
However, the most important thing now was to buy clothes for Seulgi. Irene replied softly, "Yes!"
"Sister Kim, I'll go buy some clothes for Seulgi first. You guys talk first!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Jennie knew that they would get along fine. How else could a girl buy underwear for a boy? Especially Seulgi, who's usually a loud person but a child when it came to relationships!
Jennie smiled and said to Irene, "Okay, quickly go and come back!"
Irene looked at Seulgi shyly before she turned and left. Seulgi watched Irene leave, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face and some inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
Jennie watched Seulgi in amusement until she suddenly reached out and patted his back, teasing, "Don't look anymore. She's gone!"
Seulgi was startled. Upon hearing Jennie's words, he quickly retracted his gaze and the smile on his face. He looked at Jennie awkwardly while he blamed her in his heart. His Aunt Jennie was too unromantic...
But when he thought about Irene buying clothes for him, he felt a little better albeit still awkward as he said, "Sister Kim, since Irene is buying clothes for me, it means I can shower, right?"
Jennie watched Seulgi's reaction and knew that he definitely liked Irene. Why else would he stare blankly at her back and smile like that? Even a fool wouldn't believe that he didn't like her!
Jennie blinked and stared at Seulgi as she asked, "Seulgi, tell me the truth. Do you like Irene?"
A flash of panic appeared in Seulgi's eyes when he heard this. He hadn't said anything like this before although he had done things to stop others from sending love letters to Irene, for which he could argue that it was at Irene's request. When Jennie suddenly asked him point-blank, he dared not admit it.
Seulgi acted nonchalant and scratched his head as he said, "Sister Kim, don't talk nonsense. I just want to study hard and become a useful person who contributes to the country!"
When Jennie heard this and saw Seulgi's embarrassed look, she knew that this brat dared not admit it. She must make Seulgi admit it today. When would these two get together if none of them said anything!
Jennie looked at Seulgi with a half-smile. She frowned and thought for a moment before she said, "Although that was a very official answer, you didn't say that you don't like her. That just means that you like her, right?"
Seulgi felt even more embarrassed when he heard this. This wasn't something he was certain about. Why must he say it? What if Irene didn't like him? Wouldn't that be even more awkward? It might even be difficult to remain friends in future...
Although Seulgi did not know if he really liked Irene, he replied, "I, I don't know if I really like her, but I am very unhappy when I see other people being nice to Irene or pursuing her."
When Jennie heard this, she knew that this silly Seulgi had never been in a relationship with a girl. He did not know that this was the feeling when he liked someone. Moreover, he dared not admit it for fear of losing face. This was just too embarrassing! She must make this boy recognize his own feelings.
Jennie looked at Seulgi and asked, "Other than these, do you have other thoughts?"
