Chapter 125 – Chapter 125
The first thing I did after sitting Eunchae at the table was giving her a hangover cure.
After seeing Eun-seol drunk during the holiday, the things I had bought in case something like this happened have finally started to do their job.
After giving him a hangover cure and looking at the reaction, Do-gyun, seeing Eun-chae, who was still in poor condition, felt a difficulty arise.
Perhaps the power of the hangover cure wasn’t enough to beat 8 bottles of Western liquor, but Eunchae’s moaning didn’t seem to stop.
It was a very embarrassing and laughable moment.
Do-gyun brushed Eun-chae’s back gently, and started making him, thinking of the hangover soup I used to boil whenever I was drunk.
‘Green bean sprouts, eggs, peppers and garlic…’
Only a cool neck pass.
It was a soup made with only one thing in mind.
A dish I’ve tried more than any other dish when I was living on my own.
Do-gyun cut the ingredients, beat them in a pot, boiled them for a long time, and served them to the table with rice.
“Now, if you eat this, you will feel better.”
“Yeah…”
After saying that, Do-gyun looked at Eun-chae holding a spoon, and questioned Eun-chae tilting her head as she stirred the soup with a spoon.
“Why?”
What is the problem?
When I asked the question with that thought in mind, Eunchae spat out the answer as if muttering with a somewhat brusque face.
“Meat…”
It seemed to be looking for meat.
‘Ah, that was the problem.’
Certainly, it was a soup that did not contain any meat, let alone oil.
The recipe itself was a recipe I used while living on my own, so I didn’t use high-priced ingredients like meat.
While thinking about him, Do-gyun, who laughed at Eun-chae’s love for meat, continued to speak in a playful tone as she looked at Eun-chae pouting her lips.
“If you eat so unbalanced, the witch will come to harass you again?”
“Eww… !”
Eun-chae’s body trembled at Do-gyun’s words.
Eun-chae trembled for a moment, then stopped her hand stirring the soup, closed her eyes tightly, and scooped and ate the soup.
The look of a longevity who takes poison and eats it.
Do-gyun giggled once more at him and watched Eun-chae swallow her soup. He reached out and stroked her hair.
“Good job. I’m not even picky eating.”
“Yes… You did very well.”
Eun-chae’s head nodded at the praise handed to her.
After Eun-chae replied with a slight frown on her face, she then scooped up a spoonful of her rice and pushed him into her mouth.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-chae eating for a long time, and belatedly picked up his share of spoons and started eating.
‘It’s delicious.’
Do-gyun, who was eating the soup I had boiled, felt a question rise in his head.
What is meat to Eunchae?
I eat anything as long as it contains meat, and I am squeamish when I eat anything that does not contain meat.
Is meat a magic powder to Eunchae? Is it MSG or seasoning like ramen soup?
With that thought in mind, it took a long time for her to leave her spoon, and Eun-chae, who had finished her meal, put down her spoon and slumped on her chair.
Looking at Eunchae, Do-gyun realized how bitterly Eun-seol had forgotten the drink.
‘Looks like it won’t work even with hangover soup.’
Estimates are beginning to emerge.
‘I don’t think that will sink in the afternoon.’
It was an estimate from experience.
*
Do-gyun’s prediction was surprisingly accurate.
After finishing her meal and tidying up, Eun-chae washed Eun-chae and came out into the living room. Until this moment, Eun-chae was leaning against me while groaning like a corpse would.
As for how bad the condition was, she didn’t even go to see the koi that she liked so much, nor did she go to see the fish tank right across the street.
Do-gyun laughed awkwardly at Eun-chae, who smelled of alcohol every time he exhaled.
“Are you not very good?”
“Sick…”
The answer is given by crouching down.
Oh, it was a situation where he shouldn’t have laughed, so why did he laugh so much?
While this state continued, Eunchae, who had been groaning for a long time, spat out words in a tone full of pain.
“Witches are bad.”
“Yes?”
“She should be scolded because witches are so bad.”
What came out of Eun-chae’s mouth was Eun-seol’s gossip.
At that, Do-gyun’s mouth burst into laughter, and Eun-chae, who was encouraged by Do-gyun’s reaction, opened her mouth again and cursed Eun-seol.
“It is bad people who hurt. Because the witch made me sick. Bad people.”
“Yes?”
“Yes. Bad people.”
Suddenly, Do-kyun recalled the word ‘revenge’ that Eun-seol had used the day before, and thought that Eun-seol had truly accomplished revenge.
What followed was the thought that Eun-chae was now clearly correcting her perception of pain.
“Right, it’s the bad people who hurt you.”
Do-gyun tapped Eun-chae on the back and continued his thoughts.
Now, Eun-chae no longer thinks of suffering as a good thing.
She doesn’t think of it as a process for happiness.
Like everyone else, Eun-chae came to hate pain.
Eun-chae now knows many things that make her happier than her pain.
She learned that if she held a knife, she could cook delicious dishes, she learned to relax while watching fish, and she learned to ask curious questions while reading fairy tales.
It was a lot of progress.
Do-kyun realized that the separation of Eun-chae was really short.
The day Eun-ah’s delusion ends is really close.
Do-gyun moved his gaze again and looked at Eun-chae.
The smell of alcohol wafted out with every breath and the appearance of a bone marrow.
Do-gyun saw that and thought that whenever Eun-chae smelled her alcohol, she would be frightened thinking of what happened today.
Suddenly, I felt a little funny about him, and I burst out laughing.
Looking back, it was because of Eun-ah’s personality, she didn’t have one that disliked alcohol.
Eunji is such a young personality, so even if you make an exception, all the other personalities enjoyed drinking.
Eun-ah liked wine, and Eun-sam liked soju.
Eunbyeol seemed to enjoy the canned beer she drank at the baseball field, and she liked Western liquor, which made her dizzy just by smelling it when she went to Eunseol.
Isn’t it the first time that Eun-a’s personality has emerged as a personality that keeps her away from alcohol?
While thinking about such a thought, Do-gyun came up with the question of what kind of result would come out if all those personalities were put together.
It was a natural procedure.
The integration of personalities did not mean the complete disappearance of either side.
Literally integrated.
It meant that the fallen pieces fit into place and melted into the true personality.
What each personality enjoys, Eun-ah can also enjoy.
Pictures begin to form in your mind.
The place is this living room. Opposite the sofa was a TV hanging on the wall.
The TV was broadcasting a latte match in full swing, and on the table was a mixture of all sorts of alcoholic beverages and coriander maratang.
Eun-ah gulps down the bomb liquor and screams reddeningly as she sees the latte lose with a come-from-behind home run.
-La, latte gays don’t have a mother!!!
Startle-!
Trembling at the scene that came to mind, Do-gyun made a face full of fear and belatedly shook his head.
‘Stop, no way…’ .’
It won’t be.
Even so, there was no way such a monster would come out.
Do-gyun took control of his heart again.
I’ve been a little overworked these days, so I’m sure a bad idea popped into my head.
I tried to get my mind together, but for some reason the anxiety didn’t go away.
Fearful sentences kept popping up in my head.
Eun-ah, a domestic abuser whose violence is maximized due to alcoholism.
Eun-ah, an instrument bari, feeds all kinds of bizarre ingredients at every meal.
Eun-ah of a sad life who changes her life in the community.
Eun-ah, who is a polar colligan with anger control disorder.
Fearful and fearful families.
Do-gyun, who had been trembling all over at him, lifted his head at my gesture and erased his thoughts again with an awkward smile at Eun-chae’s behavior.
‘I wonder if there is such a person.’
Of course, it didn’t go well.
*
It was around the time of dinner when Eun-chae recovered her condition.
Eun-chae, who was gradually recovering her complexion, gradually erased the smell of alcohol from her, and eventually she succeeded in getting rid of her alcohol.
The first thing Eun-chae did, of course, was to go to the pond.
If she doesn’t look at her for even a day, she must be anxious. She sits in the pond for a long time. She watches her carp for a long time.
What follows is the observation of the fish tank.
It was a fish for a fish.
Eun-chae opened her mouth while looking into her fish tank until Do-gyun finished preparing dinner. She only came to her senses when Do-gyun forced her to sit at the table.
The reason she came to her senses was, of course, meat.
She suffered from a hangover all day, so when she served her meat, thinking that she could eat as much as she wanted, Eun-chae showed off her complexion, which was the exact opposite of the morning, and dipped the meat with her fork.
Do-kyun smiled at Eun-chae, who was pouring out her happy energy, and belatedly asked Eun-chae a question.
“Is everything okay now?”
“Yeah.”
A nod of her head in response.
Afterwards, Eunchae dipped her meat once more and ate it, then spread her shoulders wide and continued her words.
“I defeated the witch.”
She sounded like she was proud of something.
Seeing Eun-chae, who was able to express herself like that, Do-gyun felt the emotion she felt, and belatedly nodded her head and agreed with her.
“Awesome.”
“Yes.”
After that, after the meal, it was reading time.
Eun-chae seemed to be trying to somehow finish the routine she had been putting off for the day, and she didn’t sleep, which she usually liked so much, and moved around busily.
Watching Eun-chae begging her to read her fairy tale, Do-gyun felt that her time was approaching.
In the meantime, bringing fairy tales has always been solved by Do-gyun going into the study alone and picking up books.
However, that can’t be the case forever.
As having her read fairy tales was to erase Eunchae’s objection to the study in the first place, Do-gyun gradually came up with the idea that he should encourage Eunchae to enter the study.
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-chae, who was sitting next to him and looking at me.
Somewhere dazed, yet a face that now clearly shows emotion.
Do-gyun, who had been choosing his words while moving his lips for a while, then calmed down and spoke to Eun-chae.
“Would you like to pick your own today?”
“Yeah?”
“Because I always read whatever I picked out. How about choosing what you want to read today?”
Eun-chae’s body flinched and trembled at the words handed to her.
Eun-chae’s head fell and her eyes crossed for a moment, then Eun-chae raised her head again and looked into Do-gyun’s eyes.
Do-gyun tried to read some emotions in those eyes, but he raised his tension as he looked at those eyes, which were mixed with so many different emotions.
Seizures were not a concern.
Didn’t Eun-chae realize that that wasn’t the right way?
But will Eun-chae resent me for saying this? I was afraid of it.
Our eyes met for a long time.
It was silence that hovered around the space.
Do-gyun kept his mouth shut and waited for Eun-chae’s answer.
To organize your thoughts, to gather your mind and make decisions.
He waited for an answer like that.
A tremble was transmitted to her fingertips, which were slightly touching her, and her answer came out after a while.
“Inside me?”
Along with his words, his fingertips pointed towards the inside of the hallway.
Do-kyun licked his lips at him for a moment, then finally nodded his head without letting out his words.
Eun-chae’s gaze turned to the hallway behind Do-gyun.
It looks like it’s obsessing over something.
Eun-chae, who had been thinking about it for a long time, then looked back and forth between Do-gyun and the hallway, and spat out an answer while hugging Do-gyun.
“… Yeah.”
A very small affirmative answer.
In response, Do-gyun trembled his body, which had been nervous until the day before, and then swept Eun-chae’s back and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
“Okay, let’s go together and choose.”
“Yeah.”
Gratitude arose.
It was thanks to Eun-chae for finally giving her courage.
