“Gaeul... do you want to go to church with me today?” Helian suddenly appeared from behind Gaeul's bedroom door, the young man's head poking out from there.
“Uh... I didn't expect, that you're apparently the type of person who still remembers God. It's a bit surprising to know,” Gaeul quipped while looking at Helian with a mocking gaze.
Helian responded to Gaeul's sarcasm with a smile. “I'm sorry if I'm too religious for you. I hope you can forgive it,” she said with a shrug.
“No need to apologize, Helian. I won't judge you based on your looks. I just wanted to tease you,” Gaeul replied amused. She was a little surprised that Helian didn't seem offended by her words just now.
“I've faced that kind of teasing many times. After all, it's natural for people to tease me like this because of my appearance. But I wonder if my appearance is so bad that when I want to, showing my intention to go to church is often misunderstood as bad or playful?” Helian walked into Gaeul's room and sat on her bed.
Gaeul smiled wryly. “You shouldn't have to ask about an answer that you should already know well. I'm sure, you yourself are quite self-aware about it. Don't try to deny it,” Gaeul said.
“Whatever, I don't care,” she said indifferently. She then looked at Gaeul. “So do you want to go with me today?” she asked making sure if Gaeul wanted to go.
“I don't mind going with you, as long as you wait for me,” Gaeul replied quickly. “Mind waiting?”
Helian chuckled. “If you linger like a girl in the middle of dressing up, I might leave you,” she said irritably.
“You won't. Don't equate me with a girl. You're insulting me as a man. I'm pretty sure, a casanova like you, spends more time than a simple man like me,” Gaeul sarcastically replied, he was a bit annoyed that Helian seemed to be mocking him.
“Tsk. Let's not keep nagging. You'd better get ready. I'll come to your room again later. If you're still not ready, then I'll just leave you alone!”
After saying that, Helian immediately left Gaeul.
What a nag to be a man, he calls me a woman, does he not realize that his behavior is many times more naggy than mine? Gaeul thought irritably.
After getting ready in less than 10 minutes, Gaeul who didn't need to be picked up by Helian. Went straight to Helian's room. Even when she arrived at Helian's room, she was surprised to find Helian who still hadn't finished getting ready because she took too long to dress up like a girl.

After finishing getting ready and leaving the dormitory, Helian and Gaeul were now preparing to go to church.
“I didn't expect, that you have a dandy side like a girl. But how dare you, with such impudence, say that I look like a girl. Looks like the mirror in your room isn't big enough to see yourself,” Gaeul sarcastically said.
Helian only snorted in annoyance. She only intended to tease Gaeul, but she was immediately hit with more punches from the man. Gaeul returned the favor in an even more annoying way.
“There's nothing wrong for a man to pay attention to his appearance. You shouldn't insult me. Gosh... you're so annoying, even though I only teased you a little, but you immediately responded in the most annoying way. I don't know what your mind is made of,” Helian said irritably. She was pretty sure that she shouldn't make any more annoying remarks in front of Gaeul, if she didn't want to get an annoying reply like this.
“Shut up. I'm only giving you what you deserve. I've never minded how a man looks but one thing you need to remember, you're a dandy by nature so... it's no surprise that you're overacting. It's even possible that you're overpowering many girls.” Gaeul was absolutely relentless, nagging Helian throughout their journey.
Helian bit her lip in annoyance. The only thing she could do was continue to listen to Gaeul's ramblings all the way and continue to make her ears hurt.
Approaching the house of worship, it began to look like there were many people who wanted to go to church. And along the way it was not spared, from neatly dressed and beautiful girls.
“Good morning, isn't it a beautiful morning for worship, beautiful?” Helian greeted one of the girls randomly.
The girl just laughed and blushed. Of course a girl like this would easily fall for the cheap seduction of a casanova like Helian.
That girl was not enough. Helian kept flirting with all the girls who wanted to go to church throughout their journey. Obviously, making Gaeul feel uneasy as well as amused, the boy finally did something to get Helian to stop flirting and enter the church immediately.
“Miss... if you're inside, please pray to God, so that you won't be kept away from the seducing demon.” Gaeul pretended to smile as she said that to one of the girls who was flirting with Helian.
The girl was a little surprised by Gaeul's words, but she just smiled and nodded in agreement. Helian saw Gaeul's behavior trying to stop her, but he didn't really mind.
After all the people entered the church, Helian saw Gaeul who was still standing outside. She approached Gaeul with a seductive smile on her face. “What are you doing, Gaeul? Why are you trying to stop me?” she asked in a sarcastic tone.
Gaeul sighed and looked at Helian seriously. “Helian, you must understand that we are near a house of worship. This is a holy place, where we worship and seek peace. What you're doing is only disturbing the people who want to worship in peace. You should behave better and respect this place.”
Helian was silent for a moment, she gave Gaeul a sharp look. However, she finally sighed and nodded in understanding. “Alright, I apologize. I'll try to be wiser and respect this place. Sorry if I disturbed you and the other devotees,” Helian said honestly.
Gaeul nodded in appreciation. “Thank you. We are all here to worship and seek peace. Let us respect each other and keep the silence in this place.”
The two young men then entered the church and joined the rest of the congregation. Helian understood that maintaining a good attitude and respecting the place of worship was the right way to honor God and achieve the peace they sought. He had to admit, though, that he felt a little disappointed at not being able to flirt with some of the cute girls he was quite fond of. Helian thought that next time, he would not ask Gaeul to go to church together.
