Chapter 169 – Chapter 169
Eun-chae’s eyes were on the lake, towards the float floating somewhere.
A face full of bewilderment. However, if you look closely at him, you can tell that Eun-chae is rarely concentrating.
Eun-chae wasn’t opening his mouth ‘heh’ like when he was absent-mindedly, and her eyes weren’t half-closed. The gap between his eyebrows was narrow and pointed toward the steamer, and his fists repeatedly opened and closed, revealing a tense expression.
Do-kyun smiled and looked at Eun-chae.
“I can’t catch a fish even if I stare at it like that.”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to relax my body and wait. Fishing is a waiting game.”
Eun-chae tilted her head.
“Why is waiting a game?”
Do-gyun smiled with a troubled smile at Eun-chae’s question, and continued his worries with a ‘hmm’.
How should I explain How should we define fishing? That thought continued.
Of course, there was no way that the answer would come out. Do-gyun was neither a philosopher nor a thinker. In other words, they do not have the talent to express fishing and waiting games in a stylish way.
Do-gyun catches Eun-chae’s attention with a troubled face, as always. He decided to tell Eun-chae what he was thinking and opened her mouth.
“Because the more painful the wait, the sweeter the fruit at the end.”
“Fruit?”
“Um, so… Like that, for example. What does Eunchae do when she wants to eat meat?”
“The bee bakes it.”
“Right? Then what are you doing while I grill the meat?”
“Wait.”
“Then, how do you feel while waiting?”
At Do-gyun’s words, Eun-chae let out a ‘uh-eum’ sound and thought about that moment.
Meat cooked by bees. Me waiting for the meat to be grilled.
A scene flashed in Eun-chae’s mind. While she is sitting in front of the fish tank in the living room and watching the fish, the smell of meat wafts her head towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, Mr. Bee is grilling meat while saying ‘chiiik’. The back of the grilling meat is so big that I feel relieved, but when I look at it, my heart skips a beat.
“Kong-dak-dak-dak.”
“Yes?”
“My heart is pounding.”
Do-gyun looked at Eun-chae’s expression at the words he heard. The flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes gave off a very happy expression.
Do-gyun put a smile on his lips at the sight and added his words.
“Yeah, it’s anticipation that stirs up like that. ‘Now, when Mr. Bee finishes roasting the meat, he can eat delicious meat.’ The pleasure of waiting with such anticipation is the reason for fishing.”
Truth be told, it was because of the taste of her hands, but since Eunchae had no way to know if I had to say this, Do-gyun said it using an expression that Eunchae could easily understand.
Eun-chae tilted her head at Do-gyun’s words, but nodded her head after hearing what he had given as an example.
The meat cooked by the bee was delicious, so waiting was fun. Fishing is the same.
“Fish is delicious to eat, so waiting for fish is fun.”
“Right.”
Kick kick. A laugh escaped Dokyun’s mouth. Should I say it’s a silver expression? When I nodded while thinking about that, Eunchae’s expression became strange.
A slightly reddened, frowning face.
“What’s the matter?”
“Just.”
Eun-chae held back the laughter that was about to burst out. It’s embarrassing to laugh I don’t know if my heart will explode. You shouldn’t laugh in the presence of Mr. Bee.
Eun-chae shook her head to shake off her laughter, and then approached Do-gyun and put her butt on top of Do-kyun’s thigh.
With her body half-squashed, she forced herself into Do-gyun’s arms, and Eun-chae finally felt a little more at ease.
“This is my favorite.”
Anger-. Eun-chae’s expression began to relax. Do-gyun scratched his cheek as if he was troubled by that appearance. He said he liked him, but he wondered what to do, so Eun-chae stretched out her legs to make it more comfortable to sit on.
It was at that moment that the fishing rod moved with a ‘stagger’.
“Ugh!”
Excited! Do-gyun’s body was heard, and Eun-chae jumped up and looked at it.
At the end of Eun-chae’s gaze, the float was bobbing and sinking, shaking around. The excitement that comes to him by itself. Eun-chae vomited her emotions and started urging him, waving Do-gyun’s arm.
“Fish. Fish. Fish.”
… It was a reminder that I did my best.
Do-gyun nodded his head broadly at that sign, and he started catching fish by manipulating the lure of the fishing rod as he had learned someday.
Hand taste. That’s what fishing enthusiasts are crazy about. Do-kyun sensed it climbing all over his body, and while he was wrestling with the fish for a long time, he suddenly felt the fish jump up with a ‘flutter!’.
As a result, Do-gyun’s body swayed backwards slightly, and Do-gyun, who regained his balance, confirmed that a large fish was caught on the hook at the end of the fishing rod, and made a bright face.
“Got it!”
“Fish.”
Do-gyun and Eun-chae looked at each other. Do-gyun looked at Eun-chae and made a bright face. Eun-chae made a face like a rice cake again, frowning and shaking her head.
Seeing that expression, Do-gyun laughed and said, “Bread.”
“Shall we catch some more?”
“Yes.”
In response, Eun-chae nodded her head broadly.
*
2 after that. A total of 3 fish were caught.
In terms of size, the first one caught was the largest, and the second and third fish caught were of a size that could be said to be “Worth this.”
Do-gyun took the fish he caught to a raw fish restaurant right next to the fishing spot, ordered one to be made with raw fish and two to make maeuntang, and sat down.
After some time had passed, Do-gyun continued talking while holding a spoon at Eun-chae’s eyes shining as she watched the finished dish.
“Shall we eat?”
“I will enjoy this food.”
“Yes.”
Eun-chae raised the spoon. Perhaps she was going to eat the soup first, Eunchae dipped a spoon in Maeuntang, scooped out the soup, and put it in her mouth.
Excited. Seeing Eun-chae shaken up, Do-gyun let out a laugh and continued.
“It’s hot, so you have to blow on it.”
What should I do if I take something boiling right into my mouth?
Do-gyun, who made a troubled expression at Eun-chae’s behavior, took a piece of sashimi with chopsticks and put it in Eun-chae’s mouth.
“Let’s eat Maeuntang in a bit and then eat sashimi first.”
Eun-chae nodded at Do-gyun’s words and munched on sashimi, then swallowed him down and spat out the words.
“It’s delicious.”
“Yes?”
“Yeah, the fish is delicious.”
A happy expression began to appear on Eunchae’s face.
Eun-chae looked at Do-gyun, feeling the chewy texture in her mouth.
It was good that the bee put the sashimi in her mouth one by one with a smile on her face. When you open your mouth with an ‘ah’, this time they dip it in soy sauce and put in the sashimi, which made it even better because of the salty taste.
Eun-chae ate the sashimi that Do-gyun put into her mouth for a while, then lifted her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of sashimi with awkward hand movements, brought her hand to Do-gyun’s mouth while shaking, and then spat out the words.
“Even a bee.”
Good things are better when we do them together. Eun-chae was a person who knew how to share.
Do-gyun saw the trembling chopsticks and put the sashimi in his mouth, feeling a sense of excitement for some reason.
“It is delicious.”
“Yeah, the fish is delicious.”
Anger. Do-gyun’s expression brightened. Eun-chae kong-dak-kong-dak on that face again. I felt his heart race.
Eun-chae thought.
Every time Bee-sama smiles like that, he says he is becoming the happiest Eun-chae in the world.
A heartbeat that knocks all over. Laughter to come out again.
Eun-chae, who was shivering with such rising emotions, suddenly wondered if the father we were talking about was someone like Mr. Bee. He had such an idea.
I don’t know what a dad is, but he probably is.
While I was thinking about that, I giggled. We laughed We laughed for a while, then asked Eun-chae.
‘Fun?’
Eun-chae answered that question.
‘Happy.’
Eun-chae was happy. Of course, it was fun, but it’s fun all day long, but to express that feeling, ‘I’m happy’ is more correct than ‘I’m having fun.’
After hearing Eunchae’s answer, we stayed silent for a while, and then said that in a clear voice.
‘Thank god.’
Nod Eun-chae nodded. Do-kyun tilted his head at him.
“Why?”
“It’s delicious.”
Is it that good? Do-gyun burst into laughter at Eun-chae’s answer with a flushed face, then put another piece of sashimi in Eun-chae’s mouth.
While Eun-chae took it and chewed it, she realized that we were gone and tilted her head.
It wasn’t sleeping Eun-chae could feel him.
‘Ah.’
We’re gone
It felt like a warm feeling inside. Eun-chae savored the warm energy we left behind for a while, then looked at Do-gyun.
He puts a piece of sashimi in me and puts a piece of sashimi in his mouth. Then he looked at me again, and his smile looked cool.
Eun-chae thought of connecting ‘dad’ and ‘bee’, but soon came up with the answer that the bee is the bee.
Eun-chae liked the bee who made her the happiest Eun-chae in the world rather than her father who didn’t know what it was.
“Bee.”
“Yes?”
“Great.”
Do-gyun blinked his eyes at Eun-chae’s words, and then answered with a laugh, ‘Pu-ha’.
“I like Eunchae, too.”
“Yes. Can I eat spicy soup now?”
“Oh yeah. Let’s eat now.”
Do-gyun took a ladle and started pouring Maeuntang into a bowl. Eun-chae took advantage of the gap, when Do-gyun took his eyes off her, and shed a small laugh.
Because patience is not good. I had to laugh at times like this.
“Now, here.”
Eun-chae’s gaze turned to the spicy fish stew in her bowl. Eunchae, who received him, took a spoonful and scooped a spoonful of Maeuntang, half of the lean meat and half of the broth, and pushed it into her mouth.
A sharp taste came up. Then, when you chew the lean meat, the light taste blends well and your whole mouth becomes happy.
Also, the fish was so delicious.
“Tasty.”
“I’m glad.”
Kick kick. Hearing the bee’s laughter made the Maeuntang taste even better.
