Chapter 37 – Part 1
‘I don’t have much time.’
So it was necessary to move quickly.
He is literally ruthless towards Sena, but he is secretly soft towards Yuhan.
However, even if she said that she would buy all the items on the list in my head, she would express disapproval and try to stop me.
So, the method I used was to place an order right away.
If you wait until the order comes out and receive it one by one, you will only be able to eat the hot bar.
Of course, the hot bar is also delicious enough.
Especially the one with a whole octopus leg on top looked like that.
However, you can’t enjoy it for very long with one of them.
It’s obvious that it will disappear after a few bites, but how can you enjoy it with that?
Besides, my real purpose was not to appease my hunger, as I had told Gina.
It was true that I ate less breakfast than usual because I was worried about motion sickness, but I don’t know what happened to my body, but I only ate less than half of what I normally eat, and I didn’t feel anything, let alone feel hungry.
Even so, she went so far as to pester Gina and stopped at the rest area for a simple reason.
I thought that if I made good use of the things she sold here, I would be able to stimulate her naturally, as well as build up small memories of her Gina.
That’s why the criteria for selecting the menu were thoroughly set there.
Well, words are the standard, but in fact, the condition itself was very simple.
There was only one kind.
So what is that-
“The tteokbokki you ordered came out for one person!”
“The sausage you ordered is here!”
“The one who ordered elvan stone squid?”
“The person who ordered egg potatoes earlier! Take what you ordered!”
Yes that’s right
Things that are a bit difficult to eat alone while driving unless someone is feeding them.
I picked out the ones that mattered the most.
If I just feed her food, she’ll get a sore throat, so I stopped by a small cafe in the corner of the rest stop and bought an iced tea. Of course, two straws were inserted.
It was a lot more than I thought because the things I collected while going around the rest stop were gathered together, but it wasn’t too difficult to lift.
I don’t know if it’s because of the face she showed while ordering or if all rest stops are like this these days, but she packed everything neatly so I just had to hold her in her arms.
It must have seemed strange to him, who didn’t seem to be eating that much, holding in his arms an amount of snacks that was enough for three people.
I could feel the eyes of the people walking around me glancing at me.
Of course, there was an overwhelming majority of women.
‘So..’
Gina, who said she went to the bathroom, when the hell is she planning to come back?
Could it be that he collapsed while holding his back after checking the text with the card usage history?
It was a bit boring to just wait, so I was thinking nonsensical thoughts like that, so the three women who seemed to be the same group gathered together and secretly glanced at me, as if they were going on a vacation with friends. It started.
Then, the woman who occupied the center of the three was pushed by the friends sitting on either side of her and reached in front of me.
She was a striking woman with short, shoulder-length hair dyed light brown.
“That, that… Hey there.”
“Yes?”
“If you don’t mind…”
The woman standing in front of me, restless as if she was in need of something, immediately hesitated and took out a mobile phone from her pocket.
The moment the thing that escaped out of my pocket was about to be thrust in front of me—
“What is it? Yuhan-ah, are you here?”
The hood, which had been thrown back as much as it was the first time because he was busy running around with a familiar voice, was grabbed by someone’s hand and returned to its original position.
“Oh, is your sister here?”
“Sorry, did you wait? There were a lot of people in the bathroom.”
“No, it didn’t take too long.”
After saying that, I glanced at the woman who had spoken to me, and I could see that what had been red hot and spreading a fresh atmosphere in all directions just a moment ago had turned white before I knew it.
Her complexion and facial expression seemed like she had encountered some kind of grim reaper, so I couldn’t help but be curious.
I wanted to know what Gina’s face was like standing behind me so she would react like that.
So, I pretended to greet her Gina and tried to check it naturally, but even though she had already achieved her purpose, Gina’s hand, which chose to sit on top of my head as she was, did not allow it.
Gina, who held my head firmly in place so that I wouldn’t look back, mentioned the existence of the hunting woman with the expression that she had just discovered it.
“By the way, who is the person in front of you? Do you know someone?”
“No? It’s the first time I’ve seen you here..?”
“I see. Hmm, by any chance, did Yuhani have something to do?”
It’s not ‘our younger brother’, but ‘our Yuhan’.
The word choice was clever.
It was only then that I honestly knew how our relationship would be seen by people who had no idea about our relationship.
Nine times out of ten, you’d think it was a relationship.
And where did the courage from before evaporate?
“Yes? Don’t stay still, can you talk to me?”
Perhaps to look more like a ‘lover’, Gina’s voice, which came right behind me, was definitely the same as usual. So she had something more creepy.
“Oh, no. Nothing.”
“Yes? What?”
“Oh, nothing!!”
In the end, the hunting woman who failed to endure the creepiness hit her line.
She passed by as if she was looking at her with an exciting gaze, and her friends, who had been throwing eyes saying ‘Fuck you…’, Followed after her.
“Whoa – there are bitches like that everywhere.”
It was only after the words she had spat out in her tone that she would die of annoyance flowed into my ears that Gina’s hand, which was occupying the top of my head, returned to where she was originally supposed to be.
She knew it was already too late to ascertain her curiosity, but turned to Gina nonetheless. Because she couldn’t just stare straight ahead forever.
I threw her gaze at Gina, and she flinched and trembled at my gaze.
As if there was something stabbed.
Could it be that he thought I might be offended by pretending to be a lover?
Seeing her looking so intently into her eyes, it seemed like that, so I threw her gaze at her all the more. So that Gina could feel a little more pressure.
I didn’t say anything and just stared at him, so it seemed like I was very angry.
From the moment she turned around, the restlessness in Gina’s body began to grow little by little, and Gina, unable to bear it, opened her mouth, as if it was hard to bear the nervousness she gave her.
It was a voice that was extremely cautious, unlike when she chased her hunting woman away.
“Hey, are you mad at me?”
“…”
“Th-those guys usually don’t fall well if they don’t do this, so…”
“What are you talking about? I’m not mad at you?”
“Well, then why-“
He was probably trying to ask if he was just staring at me without saying anything.
Of course, she didn’t intend to listen to the end, so she cut off Gina’s remarks and entered.
“Just- thinking about it, I’m a bit envious.”
“Yes?”
Did my words sound quite out of the blue to Gina? Gina showed an unexpectedly cute side. By tilting her head slightly to the side.
“What?”
“.. There is. Something like that.”
The word that came to my mind at that moment was the word ‘sister’s boyfriend’, but instead of saying it out of my mouth, I evaded it appropriately.
Then I passed half of the things I was carrying to Gina.
“It’s okay. Listen to this.”
“No, are you going to eat all of this?”
Suddenly, Gina, who had taken half of the things I was holding onto, let out a blank laugh as she alternately looked at what passed into my arms and what remained in my arms.
“No, what am I eating?
“That’s true…But isn’t this a bit much?”
“Ah, everything looks delicious, so what should I do? Then you should have come and stopped me.”
After saying that, she used her hands, which had become much freer than before, to put Jina’s card into her pocket.
“Anyway, thanks for writing it well.”
“Just keep holding it.”
“Huh?”
“You won’t need money to go play. Just use your sister’s card.”
“It’s okay. It’s not like I don’t get pocket money.”
“Uh huh, do you take it when I say nice things?”
“Why? You want to watch the card statements coming in and monitor what they’re doing with it?”
It was really a joke to me, but surprisingly, it must have been Gina’s sincerity.
When I told her to go back after 20,000 cars, Jina’s body, who was walking next to me, trembled in a moment.
Of course, she pretended not to know.
“Ah, that’s right. Sister.”
“..Huh?”
“Can I ask you something?”
Passing by him, he handed me the things he had been working hard on, one by one, and nodded her head.
“That… Sister, have you ever been on a trip with your boyfriend?”
I asked to ask, but the response was not very good.
The moment those words came out of my mouth, I passed by and slightly frowned. That too, for a moment, she let go of her expression that was frowning and asked with a suffocating and windy sound.
“Why are you suddenly curious about that?”
“..What, just?”
“It’s a very sad story, but it’s not there yet.”
“Why?”
“You know. Noona is busy. She doesn’t have time to meet anyone, let alone travel.”
After saying that, as I was looking at Gina shrugging her shoulders lightly, a smile appeared on her face before I knew it.
“This- Noona is fighting a poison attack until she gets older, so you can’t be sad with her, are you laughing?”
“Muh, what are you talking about? Funny when I laughed..”
“Tell me without the laughter in your voice? Is the solo funny?”
“You didn’t laugh?
I deliberately bluntly spit it out, and Gina, smiling as if she would take a look at it this time, turned around next to her car and got into the driver’s seat.
Then she threw out a word to be careful not to spill food and started driving again.
“Oh, let’s fill up some gas before we go out.”
I kept glancing at her and laughing as Gina, who was about to exit her rest area and pulled into the gas station near her exit, filled her gas tank to the top, about a third of the way she had left.
“Again- is that so funny? Huh?”
“No, well… Anyway, this is your first time?”
“Huh? What?”
“That… Going out to play alone with someone like this.”
Gina’s hand, which was operating her gear, stopped at the moment she spoke in her small voice.
“..Well, it’s the first time.”
“That’s all right.”
“Huh? What?”
“Never mind.”
After that, he used her car waiting behind her as an excuse to push Gina.
At that moment, Gina’s cheeks turned red, so it wasn’t just because she had been outside until just a moment ago that she was hot.
The atmosphere turned awkward again.
It was no different than this time that she opened her mouth first and broke the thing that was sitting between the two of us.
“That… Aren’t you going to eat snacks? I’m going to get cold.”
“Ah.”
Only then did she nod as if she remembered the existence of the things she had placed between us.
Then he glanced at Gina and threw her gaze at her.
“What do you want to eat, sister?”
“I don’t really care about anything.”
“And sausage?”
“Give it to me then.”
So, I grabbed the sausage that was evenly sprinkled with ketchup and mustard and held it out towards Gina.
“Come on, ah-“
“What?”
“Ah- do it.”
If the ketchup and mustard sprinkled on the sausage fell on the sheet, there was no other catastrophe like that. ‘S gaze finally turned toward me.
“..It’s okay. I’ll eat it myself. Just give it to me.”
At the same time, Jina’s right hand, which was on the steering wheel, stretched out toward me.
Of course, I avoided it without handing it over.
“No. It’s dangerous while driving.”
“Then I’ll just eat it later—”
“It doesn’t taste good when it’s cold. You have to eat it while it’s still warm. Now, hurry up.”
Saying that, she pushed her sausage toward her once more.
Jina, who was showing a strangely restless look while glancing at the fact that her face had been pushed in like that—
“Well, just one bite-“
As she said that, she quietly opened her mouth and bit into her sausage.
