After Falling in Love with Him, Life Becomes InterestingChapter 1
My mom took me to her friend’s house for New Year’s greetings.
I forgot my glasses, so from ten meters away, I couldn’t tell who was who. I mistook the dog lying on the sofa watching TV for the friend’s son and greeted “him” warmly.
"This must be Robert. It's been a few years since we last met, but you've lost so much weight."
Robert, who had just come out of the kitchen with a bowl of cherry, tilted his head in confusion.
Our mothers laughed so hard that they collapsed on the sofa. They patted their thighs and blushed from laughing.
Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, the innocent puppy that I mistook for Robert leaned over and licked my palm in a friendly manner.
I had known Robert since I was a child, but I was three years older than him. Later, we moved, and I hadn't seen him for several years.
I never expected that our reunion would involve me mistaking a dog for him.
I was so embarrassed that I almost dug my toes into the floor.
However, Robert looked quite unaffected and didn't take it to heart.
"Does it look a lot like me?"
Robert sat next to me and pushed the bowl of cherries toward me.
