Chapter 19 – 19 – Family Reunion
#
Sia and her family headed to a restaurant in a luxury hotel. For Sia and her family, of course, the same place they went last Christmas.
The reason Sia’s family gets together every Christmas is
It is said that it is a certain day called Christmas, and at the same time, it is not her parents’ wedding anniversary… But the day her father proposed to her mother.
Normally, after getting married, I wondered if I wouldn’t take care of the day I proposed, but Sia’s parents thought so because they were very good at drinking.
Mother and father teasing
“I’ve been married for over 20 years and it’s amazing. Our parents”
Sia said teasingly.
Usually, when you get married, your sense of each other gets dull, but in many ways, it was amazing.
“Today is a very special day for me and your mother.”
“Yes Yes. It’s something I’ve been hearing for years.”
“She and your mother have known each other since she was little…”
Siwoo, who was cutting her steak, responded that she was tired of it.
Shia also started to listen as if she was tired of it.
Every year at this time, the love story of father and mother is repeated.
She talked about how her mother and father met, the process of dating, and the process of getting married.
“So I actually did something sorry for your father…”
After her father’s part, her mother took over her baton and continued her story.
“Thank you so much Dad forgave her mom. So I thought, ‘It’s going to be okay if it’s not this man.'”
A love story like the main character in a fairy tale story that seems to have reached a happy ending after overcoming hardship and adversity.
Sia suddenly became curious about something.
“What did mom do to dad?”
Sia breaks the flow of love stories
She’s been told for years, but this year
She wondered what she had done wrong.
“That’s…”
Mom was reluctant to say anything about her.
“Then Dad will teach me.”
“…That I can’t tell you either.”
The expression on the parents’ face was unusually slightly bitter.
Originally, we talked about everything related to the relationship between the two of us.
He seems reluctant to talk about this part, and he probably never said it.
Still, Sia wanted to know the reason.
Still, Sia could have guessed roughly what her mother had done wrong to her father.
What could be wrong between lovers?
‘Is it the wind?..’
Sia thought that she was in a similar situation to her mother’s past.
“Then how did Dad forgive her mother?”
Mom and Dad looking a little worried
After breaking the silence for a while, Dad opened his mouth.
“I accepted everything. Because it was in the past.”
Dad with a bitter expression that is rare.
Are you remembering something painful?
“…”
Her mother also bowed her head, which did not match her usual dignified atmosphere.
A table that became an ice field in an instant.
A voice was heard in the silence.
“So mom. Hasn’t she been doing her wrong to Daddy since then?”
Siu, who thought she was not interested, asked her mother.
“Yes. She didn’t want to hurt him after that.”
Mom looked at her daddy.
Her father’s hand wrapped around one of her mother’s hands, which was wrapped around her mother’s opposite hand.
“Isn’t that what happened? As Dad said, it’s in the past anyway, and I’m not sure what happened, but her mother seems to be reflecting on it too.”
Shi-woo got angry, saying that the atmosphere at the meal was not good because of Sia.
Normally, she would have argued with her brother, saying ‘Why is this my fault?’
Shia also wanted to change the subject, so she just said it was her own fault.
“Yes! Because now is the most important thing!”
His dad figured out Siwoo’s intentions and tried to ventilate his mood.
“Anyway, the two of us went through hardship and adversity…”
A father’s love story that started again.
On such a good day, rather than the mood being down
I was tired of it, but it was better to listen to love stories in a bright atmosphere.
“… So 22 years ago today from today. I confessed to your mother that I wanted to get married.”
“”Wow””
Shia and Shiu seem to have finally come to an end
The love story ended with insincere applause and cheers.
Her mother was shedding tears unlike the previous year.
Her father hugged her mother, patted her on the back, and comforted her.
Parents start a full-fledged meal after hearing about 10 minutes of love stories.
Shia and Siu had already eaten more than half of the amount.
The two adjusted their pace to keep up with their parents.
Even during the meal, Mom and Dad were spilled with sesame seeds.
“Try this too. Oh~”
“Oh~”
Shia and Siu felt that their appetites had dropped slightly when they saw them.
“Hey, do you watch this every day?”
“Uh… I thought I’d adapted, but I guess I’m not.”
Shia and Siu whispered so much that their parents couldn’t hear them.
‘Should I just eat quickly and leave?’ Thought Sia.
As I was chewing the meat like that, I suddenly remembered something to say to my father.
“Dad!”
“Uh? Are you lacking? Would you like more?”
“No. Didn’t Dad say he’ll buy you a car once you get your driver’s license?”
“Are you finally getting your license?”
The mother reacted in surprise.
“Uh. Woo-jin wants to go to a visit, but he said he couldn’t go without his own car, so I’m trying to get one.”
“That’s right. Since the unit is located in a mountainous village, it is difficult without a car.”
“Is the promise still valid?”
“That’s right, it’s valid, but if you win, I’ll buy you the tea you want.”
Sia internally called out for joy. She should think about which car to choose.
“Dad. If I turn 20 and get my driver’s license, they’ll buy it for me, right?”
“Yes, Siwoo, if you get your driver’s license, I’ll pick you up a car.”
Unlike Shia, who originally had no interest in it, Siwoo was interested in cars, perhaps because he was a boy.
After that, Shia and Siu continued to talk about tea until they went home.
I didn’t have to decide today, but I wanted to decide quickly.
As soon as Mom got home, she turned on the TV to watch a trot program.
Doing a Christmas special broadcast or something.
Dad sat on the sofa and sipped wine.
Shia and Siu
Even after the two returned home, they continued to worry about the car.
After searching and thinking for about an hour, we told our dad about the car we wanted.
Dad readily said it was possible.
Shia and Siu let out a small cheer.
“Thank you Dad! I love you! Ugh-“
Siwoo said thank you to his dad and tried to kiss him on the cheek,
“Child! Don’t do it! I don’t know if it’s a daughter, but receiving a kiss from a son is a no-no!”
Dad was frightened and refused to kiss Siu on the cheek.
Siwoo went into his room with a happy expression on his face.
“Well, getting a kiss from an older son like that isn’t the case.”
Originally, the two joked around a lot, so it wasn’t a strange sight for Sia to see.
As Sia looked at her father, her father was looking at her.
“Sia.”
“No matter how much I do, I can’t kiss you!”
Sia turns her head around saying that she can’t kiss her.
“Are you in good contact with Woojin?”
“Uh.. Why?”
“Take care of Woojin. Because being in the army is the most anxious time.”
“Yes. I know. I can’t do it right now because it’s training, but I usually keep in touch every day.”
“Yes. You are doing well.”
Dad looked at her mom in front of her TV and gave her a bitter look.
“Actually, this time after I got my driver’s license, I’m going to go to rehearsal before Woojin finishes training.”
“Then should I pick it up soon?”
“Yes. I want to pick it within this year if possible.”
“This year? There are only a few days left in this year.”
Christmas today. It was late December.
This year, there are only six days left.
“It’s fine. I can get it. I learned driving from a senior I know, but she should be able to pick it up right away.”
“…Yes?”
Dad was a little drunk, so his answer was a little late,
“Then the car should be ready within this year according to that.”
“I don’t have to rush to buy it…”
“You said you were going to a preliminary survey? And you’re going to visit next weekend, aren’t you?”
Sia finally understood what her father was saying.
“Ah, yes. Then I’ll ask you.”
“Yes. When I go to visit Woojin, he saves me some prayers. Haha.”
Shia scratched the back of her head and thanked her dad before she went into her room.
“I’ll have to go to the driver’s license office tomorrow and get an education.”

Next morning
She left the house and headed for the license she recognized.
‘The effect of the pheromones must have disappeared.’
She turned on her excitement level check with the app since yesterday, but
She did not notice any noticeable rise in arousal.
Turned off the excitement of her app.
For some reason, she was uncomfortable with the feeling of ‘that person is looking at me.’
Originally, there was a class today
It doesn’t matter if her professors were aware of what happened to Sia, she said.
“It doesn’t really matter… But I’m grateful.”
Anyway, this week was the last class.
She was at the end-of-course orientation, so it didn’t matter if she didn’t go.
She was Sia who only had to prepare for the exam tomorrow, Thursday.
She registered and took her education the very same day and took her written exam.
The result is written pass.
She came home and prepared for the skill test and school exam that she will have tomorrow.

Dec 27
Sia went to school to take her exam.
“Sia, are you okay?”
Eugene came up to Sia and she asked if she was okay.
“Oh it’s okay. She was shocked at the time, but she seems to be okay now.”
“Yes? I’m glad. But Sia, do you think you are very tall?”
“Uh? Do you want to grow up I don’t know because I didn’t measure my height.”
“I thought it was similar to me or smaller, but it seems to be bigger than me, is it because of my mood?”
“Is it? I’ll go home and check it out.”
After talking about this and that with Eugene, the professor came in and took the exam.
…
With the exam over, Sia moved on to her next destination.
“Siaya! Aren’t you going to eat lunch?”
“Sorry. I have a place to go. See you next semester!”
Sia leaving the classroom,
As I was about to find the doorway and leave, I heard a familiar voice from somewhere.
“Siaya!”
Joo Won calling Sia.
Sia spotted them and she approached them.
“Let’s have lunch together.”
“Oh, I have a place to go.”
“Where are you going? Shall I take you?”
“No no. It’s okay… Oh, that’s right, senior Tae-woo”
“Yes?,,”
Sia took out from her bag her sports towel, which she had borrowed the other day.
“I wrote well last time. Thank you. Then I’ll go..”
Ju-Won and Tae-Woo looked at Shia as he disappeared.
“…”
“Did you fight with Shia?”
“No. Why?”
“No, it seems like you and Sia’s attitude towards each other has changed a lot.”
“No, we didn’t fight. Maybe it’s because of that incident?”
“Is it?”
Even Joo-won felt that Shia’s attitude towards her had changed slightly. Of course, she herself also likes her attitude toward Shia.
Shia felt like avoiding Joo Won, and Joo Won didn’t take the same frivolous attitude as before.
‘Something happened and I got a girlfriend, so it’s a little hard to treat her like before.’
Ju-Won and Tae-Woo left Shia behind and headed to the lecture room where Yu-Jin was.
