Chapter 35 – Part 1
“Aunt?”
Looking at Gayoung like that, he tilted his head. Like she doesn’t know why.
Then she put a worried expression on her face. I don’t know if she did as well as I thought.
“By any chance… Are you sick?”
“Yes?”
“Your complexion is pale.”
This was practically her last chance I gave her. If Ga-young held on to what I had offered here… She would have to come up with a new plan, but sadly she didn’t seem to have to.
“Ah.. That! Ah, it’s because it’s morning. My aunt… Has a little low blood pressure.”
“Yes? Low blood pressure?”
“..Yeah, that’s why you don’t have to worry too much.”
“How can you not worry. Are you really okay? Well, if you have any medications to take…”
When she said she would bring it right away if I just said it, Ga-young shook her head with a face as if something was on top of it.
“Oh, no-just sit still like this and rest for a while and you’ll be fine soon.”
So I’ll take a rest and wash up, so I’ll go out first,” Ga-yeong ordered me to celebrate. That look seemed desperate, so she slowly nodded her head to mean that she knew. Of course, as much as the expression that was floating on her face was maintained.
So she turned away from Ga-young and headed out of her room, then threw her worried gaze at Ga-young in the middle.
Every time that happened, Gayoung slightly avoided my gaze and smiled clumsily.
She must have been forcibly squeezed out, but the reason why she doesn’t look like that is probably because it’s a daily routine for Ga-yeong to decorate her smile.
In that way, it must have been the moment she got out of there, leaving Ga-young in her room, who needed some time alone.
Someone’s sigh leaked through the crack in the door that was slowly closing, but not yet completely closed.
It was a sound that contained a lot of agony.
Thanks to that, she forcibly fixes her mouth, which is about to twist, as she normally does, and heads toward her kitchen..
“Huh? Did you go to your mother’s room?”
A stray cat with brown fur was stealing and eating the hard-cooked Soya.
How many sausages were hidden inside, so that only one cheek was convex and protruded like that?
Even while I was thinking about it, Senna was using one pair of chopsticks to poke the sausages in her pan and push them into my mouth.
Apparently, I really liked the taste of the spicy and sweet seasoning.
“What are you doing? If you’re going to eat something, put it in a bowl and eat it.”
“What do you mean, I’m looking after the liver instead of you?”
“If you go twice, you won’t have anything left to eat as a side dish.”
After saying that, I went to Sena’s side and checked what was left. The vegetables were the same, but only the sausages had shrunk.
It was so strong that I suddenly burst into laughter.
Is there still a degree of awareness that she did something embarrassing?
When I glanced at Sena, I could see that her two cheeks, which had been white just a moment ago, had turned red.
“If you ate, you should pay for what you ate, right?”
“Yes?”
“Now, Gina-nuna will be back soon, so let’s set things up in advance.”
Saying that, she pointed her finger at the cupboard where the tableware was placed, and Senna made a scornful ‘chih…’ Sound as she obediently headed toward it.
“Oh, was it today anyway?”
“Huh? What?”
“I heard you’re going to be your satter or something.”
“Ah, yes. So I’m going to leave later.”
“What’s wrong? You don’t go around like that often.”
A single word, spoken in passing as if saying that nothing special had happened, subtly penetrated the center, and my heart was beating loudly for a moment.
“What- just? I was curious about it.”
“What are you going to do? You’re not even a freshman.”
“Why? Do you already miss it because you think you won’t see each other for 2 nights and 3 days?”
“What are you saying, I think I’m already dying of anticipation.”
Senna snorted at her and scooped up her rice with her spatula as if telling her to say something that made sense to her, and pressed it into her bowl.
Seeing that the amount was larger than usual, it must have been the correct choice to choose soya as a side dish for breakfast.
“..What else can you help me with?”
“Then give me some soup.”
She nodded her head at him, and when she confirmed that Senna was in her pot, she frowned slightly.
Well, it was a combination that a soldier would have to get used to.
If you add cabbage kimchi and seasoned seaweed here, you can truly call it a table for an army.
“Why? Seaweed soup isn’t good?”
“No, it’s not like that- no. What do you know?”
“What.”
“There is such a thing. Men don’t know.”
Senna, who laughed with a slightly unlucky expression, opened her mouth again while she was about to finish setting the table.
“Hey.”
“Huh? Oh, now just sit down. I’ll do the rest.”
“No, that’s not it…”
“Then, why don’t you make fried eggs like the day before yesterday?”
“Oh, isn’t that what it is?!”
“Then what?”
“That… Do you usually take a bus or something to go to the new place?”
“Well, is that so? I heard that if there is someone among the seniors who has a car, they ride it.”
I shrugged her shoulders lightly to show that I wasn’t sure yet, and Senna slightly frowned. Should I say something I don’t like? What is it that you don’t like?
“I think you’ll both be terribly uncomfortable.”
“I can’t help it.”
“That’s why I told you to get your license a while ago. Class 2 isn’t that difficult…”
“I don’t even have a car, what do I do when I get a license?”
“It’s a car, you can borrow my car.”
“It’s okay. I’m crazy and I’m going to ride that expensive car. What if I get into an accident?”
Saying that, Sena’s lips, which were already protruding, protruded a little further.
“It comes after an accident. Why? Maybe I’ll ask you to ask?”
“If I caused an accident while driving, of course I should ask.”
“It’s okay. What’s wrong with not making money?”
After grunting for a while, Senna started glancing at my face again. Then-
“Oh, it’s frustrating, but should I go for a drive?”
He began to let out a muttering sound that was clearly visible through his mouth.
Thanks to her, she was finally able to notice.
What did Senna want from me?
He must have wanted to hear that he couldn’t take me with him.
Of course, she pretended not to notice, of course.
“Then go. Anyway, there’s nothing to do until the broadcast time.”
“It’s because there’s nowhere else to go.”
“You don’t have to have a destination.”
It was because I thought that I could see a more cute reaction that way.
“Oh, but now that I think about it, I can’t do it today. If you’re going to go, go tomorrow, not today.”
“..Huh?”
“Gina said she would drive me to my new home.”
Senna is the only one in this house who has a car.
So it was obvious that Gina was going to borrow someone’s car.
He must be thinking of borrowing Senna’s car and giving me a ride.
She has been trying to play the role of an older sister for the first time in a while, but she has already lost her player to Gina.
Maybe that’s why, but Senna’s expression, slightly narrowing her eyebrows, was subtle and complex.
However, that expression itself did not last long.
The tiger also came when I said it, but Gina finally appeared with the sound of a door lock being pressed as if the morning jogging was over.
“Hey, Yusena. Don’t you have anything to go to today?”
“Uh.. I don’t know.. There may or may not be..”
“There is, there is no.”
“Well-“
“If you have any, just take a taxi today.”
After saying that, Gina held out her palm to Senna.
Her appearance was so natural that I almost took out her cell phone from her pocket without realizing it and put it on.
“And give me the car keys.”
“Tea, why tea?”
“Yuhan wants to take me there. Why? You don’t like it?”
“Oh no, it’s not like that…”
“For the taxi fare, then I’ll give you my card, so I’ll use it.”
“Oh, no, you have a motorcycle..”
“Are you an idiot? I have to ride the highway. How can I ride a bike?”
Senna’s resistance was just there.
Unable to bear her stinging eyes pouring from her older sister, she jumped up from her seat and ran upstairs to the second floor. Then she gave her key, taken from there, to her Gina.
“I’ll write it clean and return it.”
“Yes..”
“Why? Buy me something like a snack at the rest area?”
At those words, Senna vigorously shook her head, and Gina sighed and laughed at Senna. Then, she held the key Sena had brought her between her fingers and turned it around as she headed for her bathroom.
Gina, who came out of the wash so neatly, twisted her fingers through her wet, frizzy hair, as she finally came out of the room and joined her seat, as if everything that was so confusing had finally been sorted out. Did.
“Are you all right now, aunt?”
“Yes.”
“Huh? Mom, where are you sick?”
“You said you were a little dizzy.”
“Are you okay? Shouldn’t you take some medicine? Or at least a hospital-“
“I-It’s okay now. It’s okay now…”
“Still, shouldn’t you go to the hospital?
“Huh? Low blood pressure? Mother, low blood pressure?”
Gina and Sena, who had been pouring out their worries toward Gayoung, simultaneously showed questionable expressions on their faces.
Well, of course it has to be.
It’s the first time they’ve heard it in their lives.
It must have been because they were really worried, but the filial piety of the two pushed Ga-young into trouble.
Thanks to that, Ga-young, who quickly recovered her expression, said that it was low blood pressure, but she was not too worried about it.
“Let’s eat breakfast. It’s going to cool down.”
Then he completely turned away.
The breakfast that started like that continued in an awkward atmosphere.
Of course, it was an awkwardness that Gina and Sena couldn’t feel.
It was only Gayoung and I who could feel the awkwardness.
Even while we were eating, Gayoung constantly glanced at my face.
As if you have something to say.
Still, she couldn’t open her mouth to the end.
No, to be precise, I couldn’t bring out the main topic contained in it.
“That, Yuhan.”
“Yes?”
“..Is it today? Going out to play?”
“Ah yes.”
“It’s good to go and play, but… Don’t be too distracted. Don’t drink too much, like alcohol.”
Somehow he managed to talk to me, but he couldn’t go any further than that.
“Yes I will.”
“That, yes…”
Well, if you ask me if Gayoung’s behavior doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t.
For her right now, the situation itself with me and her face to face must be quite hard.
Every time he looked at my face, memories of what had happened in his room just a few minutes ago would pop up in his head and he would frantically dig through them.
For example, the feel of my tongue as she licked her own mouth, or the roughness of her breath that flowed out of her mouth after I finished kissing her, which made it clear that she was very excited about kissing her. The same things
If that’s the case, it could be said that Ga-yeong’s keeping her place as if nothing was wrong was a great thing in itself.
Maybe if it was me instead of Gayoung?
What if I was in Gayoung’s position?
Even if it was embarrassing, I would have run away to another place a long time ago.
Scared to think of that, Ga-yeong carefully raised her body from her seat.
The sound of a chair being dragged echoed through the kitchen, and all the attention of those present turned to Gayoung.
“Are you going to stop eating?”
“Uh, yes- I don’t have much of an appetite today..”
“Mom, are you really sick?”
“No, it’s just… I’m tired. I’m tired. Yo, I’ve been thinking a lot lately…”
At that moment, Gayoung’s eyes swept past mine.
Although she was completely unaware of it.
“Has something happened to the shop?”
“Eh, work is always there.. Ah, anyway, mom will go in and rest for a while.. She ate that deliciously.”
Ga-young, who stopped her two daughters who were trying to raise her body at the same time, turned her head toward me.
Did he judge that it would not be ‘usually’ to not say anything to me, who is away from home for 2 nights and 3 days from today?
While her eyes stayed on mine, Gayoung’s neck trembled once.
“That… Yuhan is also coming here after playing carefully and having fun.”
After saying that, Gayoung slowly turned around and headed towards her own room, the nape of her neck—-
“..Yes, aunt.”
It was stained red.
