Han Si-woo had never had a girlfriend before.
In a way, it was only natural. Han Si-woo was just a little kid, only 6 years old, and still a baby among babies. He hadn’t even hit puberty yet. To others, he was just a snot-nosed brat… you could say.
But even Han Si-woo, who hadn’t experienced puberty, fell in love. Was it really love, or just some other emotion? Being so young, Si-woo didn’t know exactly what his feelings were.
The affection young children feel could be love, but it could also just be a simple liking for something. Kids are clumsy at expressing their hearts, after all.
In a way, he was just a little kid who hadn’t even lived a full decade yet.
Anyway, the reason Han Si-woo fell in love was… because today, he discovered a hidden side of the girl he had a crush on.
“Mom~”
Kim Ha-yeon was smiling brightly in her mom’s arms as she spoke. It felt like he had discovered a new side of Kim Ha-yeon, who usually had a cool, aloof expression all day. Seeing Ha-yeon, who rarely smiled, laugh made everything around her seem brighter.
Even when eating something delicious or in a funny situation, Ha-yeon usually didn’t laugh… but today, it was as if she had thrown that image away, smiling all day long.
It felt a bit strange to see her laugh when she usually didn’t. But that smile suited her so well. Was being with her mom really that great? Si-woo also liked being with his parents, but not to the point of smiling so brightly.
He wanted to confess, but it wasn’t the right time yet. If he confessed now, Ha-yeon might just give him a cold look and reject him. And if she rejected him, he had no idea how he’d face her afterward. They were in the same class, after all.
So, Si-woo just watched Ha-yeon from afar. If he approached, he was sure the good atmosphere would be ruined. There would be plenty of opportunities later. For now, just seeing Ha-yeon smile like that was enough to satisfy him.

And so, the parent observation class ended successfully. Seeing Ha-yeon adapt well to kindergarten, I was able to shake off some of my worries.
What if she didn’t get along with the other kids…? But after observing the class today, I realized I didn’t need to worry. Ha-yeon played well with the other kids.
Of course, it was Ha-yeon. She was smart and mature for her age.
“Ha-yeon, have a good day~”
“Okay, Mom, you too!”
Today, I was able to send Ha-yeon off to kindergarten again. Watching her walk away without a care, I felt strangely reluctant to let her go. I wanted to watch her a little longer. But since I’d see her all day after finishing at the café, I just had to hold out for six hours.
I went back to work at the café. Since I had already crossed the big mountain of the parent observation class yesterday, today’s café work felt like a small hill.
“Has Ha-yul arrived?”
“Did you play well with Ha-yeon yesterday?”
Chae So-young and Yoo A-rin greeted me. Both of them were playful but also took good care of me. Of course, they could be a bit too clingy at times… Whenever Ha-yeon came to the café, they would playfully tease her with suspicious looks. I was fine with it, but I wondered what Ha-yeon thought.
“Yes, Ha-yeon went to kindergarten, and she’s doing really well.”
I nodded and headed to the changing room. It was a good thing we had uniforms. Otherwise, my consistent fashion sense would’ve been exposed to the customers. Wearing the same outfit every week wasn’t a good sign. Normally, wearing the same clothes would earn you suspicious looks.
This café had its own employee uniforms, so I didn’t have to worry about that. Entering the changing room, I took off my clothes and put them in the locker. Seeing myself in just my underwear, I still hadn’t fully adjusted.
When I first possessed this body, it was just an ordinary, flat-chested girl. But over time, my body filled out, and I ended up with a large chest. I didn’t gain weight like a pig, but my chest size grew much larger than I expected.
“Ha~yul~”
“Eek!”
Chae So-young had snuck up behind me and started groping my chest. I didn’t know why, but it seemed like the girls here liked my chest even more. Seeing So-young’s reaction, I could understand why.
“Ha-yul’s chest is so soft and squishy!”
“Unnie, really…”
My chest must feel that good because every time I changed clothes, she’d sneak up like a ninja and grope me. She didn’t do it from the front but attacked from behind like a beast, so I couldn’t even resist properly.
By the way, doesn’t she ever touch her own chest? Of course, So-young’s chest wasn’t bigger than mine, but she still had some. It wasn’t completely flat. In fact, for a Korean woman, she was on the larger side. Last time I asked, she said she was a B-cup.
Most Korean women are A-cups, so a B-cup is actually quite big. As for me, when I measured at the lingerie store last time, I was a D-cup. Maybe that’s why other women looked at my chest with envy. Women tend to admire those with larger chests.
Just like how men secretly envy those with bigger… assets, women also seem to envy those with larger chests. I don’t feel that way at all, though.
In fact, having a big chest just caused a lot of inconveniences. I couldn’t sleep on my stomach, and when I walked, I couldn’t even see my feet when I looked down… If I had to list all the inconveniences caused by my chest, I could make over ten episodes.
Of course, I never said this out loud. I’ve heard some women get breast augmentation surgery, so my complaints might come off as bragging.
Because of So-young’s interference, I was late changing my clothes. So, the boss came into the changing room himself.
“So-young! Stop bothering Ha-yul and come out quickly!”
At the boss’s roar, So-young hung her head low without a word. No matter how lively she was, defying the boss was impossible. I was grateful to the boss. If it weren’t for him, changing clothes today would’ve been a distant dream. So-young kept teasing me the whole time.
“Yesss…”
After So-young left, I quickly changed my clothes. I had a lot of work to do today, so I needed to hurry. For some reason, compared to a month ago, the number of male customers had increased dramatically. It felt like it had doubled or tripled.
When I first started working here, there weren’t that many male customers, but now it was packed with men.
—
“Ha-yul, you focus on making the coffee! So-young and A-rin will handle the orders and other stuff.”
“Okay~”
I actually felt relieved. When taking drink orders, I was so clumsy that I often messed up. Of course, since most of the customers were men, they usually forgave me when I apologized profusely.
But still, getting the wrong drink was a huge problem, so the boss usually didn’t put me at the counter and had me focus on making drinks instead. When it came to making drinks, I was as good as a professional.
And for some reason, people said the drinks I made tasted better. That’s why the boss didn’t have So-young or A-rin make the coffee.
They said the flavor and aroma of the coffee I made were twice as good.
Of course, this was based on the boss’s own taste test. Maybe it was a skill I got from possessing this body in the novel. Otherwise, there was no reason the same ingredients would taste different.
Of course, the male customers often looked at me with regretful eyes. Maybe because I didn’t talk to them directly at the counter.
