Fluttering Feelings Ch.27

Girl: Oh my! Who's this?
Seol-a: Hello, unnie. (t/n: unnie = way for girls to address close, older girls)
Girl: It's been too long, Seol-a~ You've gotten prettier~ (small text): Has it been 2 years?
Seol-a: Oh unnie, please..My mom is upstairs, right?
Girl: Yup~ Go wight on ahead~*
Seol-a: Alright; (small text): Unnie, your aegyo is the same as always ^^ (t/n: "aegyo" is an expression of cuteness)*
Girl (small text): Without it, I'd be like a corpse~
Seol-a: Mom!
Mom: Oh, my daughter is here?
Mom: Oh my, dear...why is your face so rough and dried out? Did you not get enough sleep?
Seol-a: Yeah...I kinda stayed up all night. Can you really tell? (small text): I want juice too
Mom: At the very least, you should sleep well. (small text): You should have put on a thicker lipstick
Mom: Could our daughter have a case of the fall blues? (t/n: aka feeling sentimental in fall)
Seol-a: Who knows...That might be...
Mom: Anyway, I made a good call asking you to come here. Hurry up and change your clothes.
Mom: Let's get something delicious to eat. Should we go shopping too, after dinner?
Seol-a: ....We'll see.
Mom: .....
Mom: Omo something really must have happened to her
Mom: *whisper* She usually wakes right up from her sleep if I say "Let's go shopping"
Lady (small text): It seems to be that way, it's my first time seeing her like this too
Seol-a: ..........

Lady: Your phone's ringing.
Seol-a: Ugh...Could you please hand it to me?
Seol-a: Hello...
No-rae: Seol-a? Oh, it's me. No-rae.
Seol-a: Ah...! Oh, okay..
No-rae: Are you feeling alright? I'm not calling at a bad time, am I? (t/n: literally, "Are you feeling okay enough to answer the phone? Okay enough to hold a convo?" but I tweaked it a bit to fit colloquial English)
Seol-a: No, no not at all. I'm fine. So what's up?
No-rae: Not much, but...I think you said yesterday you were gonna go to XX neighborhood. Are you there right now?
Seol-a: Yeah. But why?
No-rae: I'm around the area because I had some business.
Seol-a: Really? So, are you saying you want to meet up?
No-rae: I was thinking maybe we could get dinner together if you had time.
No-rae: If you don't have other plans..?
Seol-a: I don't, I don't. Let's meet up.
No-rae: Then...I'll see you around six?
Seol-a: Sure, great.
Seol-a: It's such a pain to feed myself sometimes, so I'm glad you called. Then should we meet at 6 in front of XX station?
No-rae: Alright. When we arrive, let's call each other again.
Seol-a: Mm. See you then~
Mom: Your boyfriend?
Seol-a: No, just a friend. (small text): I'm telling you I don't have a bf right now
Mom: Oh...
Everyone: (small text: Then) A blind date?
Seol-a: After this I'll have to get my hair done before I go~

No-rae: (small text): She's not picking up..
*vibrate* *vibrate*
Seol-a: Boo!
No-rae: ...
No-rae: Oh man, you sure scared me.
(small text): Not scared at all
Seol-a: What the heck was that..you're no fun.
No-rae: Haha..(small text): Your phone vibrations gave you away
No-rae: Oh. Did you get a perm?
Seol-a: I just curled it a bit. How is it? Weird?
No-rae: Nah. It's pretty. Pretty cute, that is. (small text): It's not that expensive either (t/n: No-rae says the second "Pretty" in a playful/casual way, changed to fit the playful tone)
Seol-a: Kyaa I got praised~
No-rae: Haha...hahaha..
Seol-a: What should we eat? What do you want to eat?
No-rae: Ahh. So you went to the hair salon beforehand?
Seol-a: Yeah. With my mom.
No-rae: Then didn't you have plans with your mom before this?
Seol-a: Not really. I see her all the time at home anyway.
No-rae: Mm..
Seol-a: I got a massage too. Wanna feel me?
No-rae: ..Huh?
No-rae: D-do what?
Seol-a: Feel me.
Seol-a: Hurry-
No-rae: Huh? Huuh...? (small text): My chopsticks..
Seol-a: How is it?
Seol-a: Soft, right?
No-rae: .....
Seol-a: Let's go together next time. That place is really good.
No-rae: ....
Seol-a: Who could it be?
Seol-a: Oh, hey Min-jung. What's up? Ah...is that so?

No-rae: That surprised me...
Nor-rae: I need to use the restroom

No-rae: ...
Seol-a: What's got you like this? Is it something urgent?
No-rae: ....
No-rae: ...Why did you follow me. You should have talked more.
Seol-a: Huh...?
Seol-a: Oh, him. He was an old classmate from middle school. We were just exchanging greetings since we hadn't seen each other in so long.
No-rae: ....
No-rae: ...Is that so.
*tight*
No-rae: ...?
Seol-a: .......
