Chapter 138 – Summer Vacation (3)
The sisters Yu-min and Yuri still haven’t reconciled even though they fought more than a month ago and even went on a preliminary field trip together afterward.
If you look at the fundamental reason why the two fought, it was because of me, so I wanted to take responsibility for it and reconcile the two.
“Uh… Do I really have to go to my sister?”
“Last time, during the preliminary field trip, he gave us a ride in his car and even drove us that long distance, but he didn’t do anything for me, so I was worried. He even tried to buy me a ticket if we went together. And I’m going to get my driver’s license soon.”
At my words, Yuri raised her head and looked at me with wide eyes.
“Driver’s license? Are you going to get a license? No, what about the license academy tuition? I heard it’s a bit expensive? Since when did you go there?”
Of course it’s expensive, but I don’t need to go to a driver’s license academy.
I didn’t even drive for a day or two in my previous life, so why pay money to go to a driving school and practice driving?
Just go to the Road Traffic Authority, take the written exam in the morning, function during the day, and get the driving test, and that’s it.
Of course, I couldn’t tell Yuri everything because she couldn’t possibly know about the situation, so I came up with an appropriate reason.
“When you guys weren’t seeing each other, I was hanging out on the weekends. I’ve been working part-time for a few months now, so I’ve saved up some money.”
“Why bother getting a driver’s license when you can’t afford to buy a car?”
“Anyway, I can definitely get a license, so um… If I can borrow a car, I’ll drive.”
“No, even though I’m a novice driver, I can’t go that far right away…”
“Just trust me. I’m confident.”
Hmm, how can I look even more serious?
For a long time after that, I desperately tried to persuade Yuri, and eventually got permission.
“Ha… Okay. Ask your sister. But we are also borrowing our parents’ car, so if something happens to the car, we are really dead. If you look even the slightest bit anxious, stop the car right away and promise to let your sister take the wheel. Otherwise, I won’t go.”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
“Ah, I’m nervous… You should ask your sister. I’m sure she’d rather ask you than me.”
How did it happen that even though I am my boyfriend, I, a stranger, am in a better position than my blood relatives?
I approached Yumin, who was sitting on the living room sofa, thinking that I had to hurry up and reconcile these two.
“Yoo-min.”
“Baby!”
When I came out to the living room, Yumin was happy and hugged me and pulled me to the sofa.
“Hey… Honey, I missed you. I haven’t been able to see you properly for a few days because of the school trip. Didn’t you miss me?”
She was two years older than me, but the way she acted towards me made me think she was two years younger than me.
“I missed you. I’m also sorry that I didn’t do anything for you after driving you during your preliminary field trip.”
“Hey, I didn’t do anything for you.”
“Huh? Then did I do anything for you?”
“You gave me this♥”
At the same time, Yumin poked my groin with his finger.
“How I missed this.”
“Anyway… No, I didn’t come to say this.”
I slightly moved Yumin’s finger aside and brought up her main point.
“We’re on vacation now, so we’re going to go somewhere to have fun during the vacation. Do you want to go with us?”
“Really me too? Where?”
Yumin did not hesitate and immediately opened her eyes.
It is usually said that among children, the eldest child is a bit more dignified and the second child is more lively, but it seems that the opposite is true in Yuri’s family.
“Well, whether it’s the sea, a valley, a water park, or a mountain. I’m going to see everyone when the time is right and decide to go there.”
“Nana! I want to go to the water park! The sea is far away and there are too many people, so it’s hard!”
“I don’t think there will be many people at the water park in July and August…”
“But! I’ve been to the beach so far, but I’ve never been to a water park! Let’s go, let’s go! Huh?”
“Okay, okay, just calm down a little. We haven’t decided when and where to go yet.”
“I have to take you with me! It’s a promise! Do you know how much it irritates me that I can’t go on a date because of my academy?”
Yumin, who was clapping his hands and laughing with excitement, suddenly looked at me as if he remembered something and asked.
“Then should I drive then too? I don’t know where I’ll go.”
“No, I’ll drive. I’ll have to rent a car, but…”
“What? You’re driving? No! If you drive without a license, you’ll be in big trouble! It’s different from a motorcycle! Plus, you have to ride someone else’s car, not your own, so no way!”
Yumin thought that I would naturally drive without a license.
Hmm… When I think back to my memories, there was a time when I was talking about motorcycles to this guy to catch Gao.
Since there were some idiots who did it, it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to think that it was unlicensed.
I put my hand on her shoulder and reassured her.
“I will get my license during the next driver’s license exam. Rest assured that I don’t live like a horse anymore.”
“He said that, and he had a lot of women with him.”
I became dumbfounded by Yumin’s stern words.
Still, since it wasn’t something she said maliciously, Yumin immediately relaxed her expression and smiled.
“It’s the same for me who is in it♡”
“You’re surprisingly angry. Yuri and the others didn’t take it easy at first.”
“Do you remember that you had a lot of other women with you when you met me?”
“Hmm…”
Strictly speaking, at that time, they were not girlfriends who gave one’s heart like they are now, but just sex partners to deal with sexual desires…
“The way I treat girls back then and now is a bit different… Now, no one thinks of me as a sex partner, but rather as a girlfriend.”
“You mean all the kids who went with me back then? Including Yuri?”
“Right… Right?”
“I really don’t know how I ended up sharing the same man as my younger brother.”
“Speaking of Yuri, I heard you guys had a fight before. It looks like you haven’t made up yet.”
“That’s how it happened.”
“Are you planning on reconciling?”
“That bitch put her cheek on me first?”
“I heard everything from Yuri, too. He said you scratched it first.”
“The man I thought was my boyfriend went on a hiatus for a while and stopped contacting me, and then he suddenly found me having sex with my younger brother at home. So, you put up with it even after seeing that?!”
“I’m… Sorry. But can you accept it now?”
Yumin sat back on the sofa and sighed deeply.
“At that time, during the preliminary interview, you told me that you loved me… And seeing what other kids said to you, it seemed like they were quite into it as well. It’s not the first time I’ve experienced a relationship like this, and it’s been similar before.”
“But why are you still so awkward with Yuri?”
“That’s… No, that’s just our job. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“I’m worried because it started because of me.”
“Haa… No, it’s just… It feels a bit awkward when I just look at it now. That’s partly because we’ve become pillar sisters.”
In the end, the reason the two didn’t reconcile was not because they hated each other so much that they couldn’t forgive each other, but because it was just awkward for them to reach out first.
They seem like dishonest sisters.
It’s easy to reconcile since we’ve confirmed that our feelings aren’t that deep.
Of course, if I try to force reconciliation now, it will be even more awkward, so I should try to reconcile in my own way, right?
#####
– I’m going! Shall we go! I was so stressed because I was stuck with Gong Young-bae all day because you told me to! I need compensation too!
When she called Eunji on her way back from her date at Yuri’s house, Eunji immediately accepted without thinking for a second.
On the other hand, Suyeon…
– Ah… Why now, Senpai… I really think I’m busier than I thought, so I can’t go out for a long time… Hehe…
He cried and said that it was difficult to go to the water park all day, or for 2 days and 1 night, wondering why he worked so hard to prepare.
Sooyeon would have accepted without even looking back if I had asked her to go, so why on earth is she spending so much time memorizing English words?
“Really? It’s a pity. If you were there, everyone would come together. Is it really hard to find time?”
– Yes… I can somehow do it for a few hours, but all day or 2 days and 1 night is a bit… I think that would be difficult throughout the summer vacation.
“I’m getting more and more curious. Aren’t you going to tell me what it really is?”
– That’s really not possible! Secret! Instead, when the results come out, I will directly inform my senior! Oh, even if I can’t go to the water park, do you have to play with me in between? Because I need to be healed too!
“If that’s what you want, I can call you anytime. Whenever you have time.”
– I’m sorry, Senpai… I’m a bit too personally greedy, so I can’t compromise this time. If you play and take a lot of pictures, you should send me a lot!
“Okay, okay, Suyeon. I don’t know what you’re doing, but cheer up.”
I became more and more curious about what Suyeon was trying to do since she memorized English words all the time while working part-time for 6 hours a day, 4 days a week, and found it difficult to find time even on weekday mornings or weekends.
In the end, with Sooyeon unable to go, the four of us, Yuri, Eunji, and Yumin, decided to set aside a day to go and have fun, and the location was decided on a water park in Hongcheon.
The date is early to mid-August.
It would be quite crowded as the water park was at its peak, but it was also the best time to enjoy the water park.
Since I was on vacation and had a lot of free time in the morning, I got a part-time job in the morning and spent my time running two part-time jobs every day. In the blink of an eye, the time when we promised to go out to play arrived.
