Chapter 701 – #96. Jinhaesol (5)
“Aww… Hangover~~ I feel like I’m going to die.”
“Drink this.”
Next day.
Starting with Noona Bok-soon, the zombies crawled out into the kitchen one by one.
Everyone was suffering from a hangover, and they soothed their bubbling stomachs with the hangover cure they had bought in advance.
“Who was last yesterday?”
“Me and my older sister.”
“Wow~ Yeonju unnie is really strong at drinking.”
First of all, I was out of the question because I had a body similar to that of a psychic, so the older sisters who became zombies due to a hangover admired Yeon-joo sister.
“My sister has no choice but to drink well. She goes to parties often.”
“I think I was drunk with Yeonjoo unnie yesterday, but it’s not a dream, right?”
In particular, Joo-a noona woke up late and was depressed thinking about her actions yesterday.
“It was cute. Even Yeon Joo-nim wasn’t offended.”
“Ahhhhh!
Her drunken sister Joo-ah clung to Yeon-joo’s side and showed off all her charms.
We were able to enjoy watching it, so we didn’t stop it, but her sister, Joo-a, was ashamed and was about to die.
“Why? It was cute.”
“That’s right. It was the first time I knew that Joo-a had so much aegyo.”
Sister Bok-soon and sister Min-young laughed as they watched Joo-ah suffer.
“Aaaaa~!! No way. My image!”
“How fun it was yesterday thanks to you being the first to get drunk and saving the mood. I think you sacrificed yourself for the sake of your family.”
“Where is Yeonju-sister? I want to run away before her sister comes out.”
“That sister wouldn’t think much of it? You’re the only one who’s ashamed of it. She just shamelessly leaves.”
“Because my face isn’t that thick.”
Damn!
“Evil!”
“Then why don’t you drink less! What are you trying to do if you’re feeling ashamed of yourself after consuming it as if you were drinking water to feel good by yourself?!”
Jung-hwa slammed Joo-a’s sister on the back without hesitation and scolded her severely.
“Aagh! Mom! Ouch! It hurts!”
“Oh, burns, burns! Do you go around like that outside?”
“No! It’s not like that. It was at home, so I drank it without thinking.”
“Don’t act face-to-face just because you’re embarrassed, be friendly!”
“Okay! Got it!”
Joo-a, who was finally freed by Jeong-hwa, hurriedly started eating bean sprout soup for hangover.
“Uh. It’s delicious. What’s wrong with my mother’s cooking skills?”
“It’s a skill I earned with money, so enjoy it to the fullest.”
While Joo-ah noona raised her thumb and munched her soup.
A person she didn’t expect came into her kitchen.
A neat bobbed haired sister appeared, as if she had just washed up.
“Sister, relax.”
“Uh, yes. What about the kids?”
“Still sleeping. Everyone must be tired from playing hard yesterday.”
“How’s everyone’s hangover?”
“I think I’m going to die.”
“Especially, Joo-a is suffering from a hangover because she drank a lot.”
“…”
When her playing sister appeared, Joo-a buried her face in her bean sprout soup and rolled her eyes as she ate her.
She burst into laughter as she recalled the memories of Yeon Joo’s older sister clinging to her side and saying, “You are so pretty, you are so cool.”
Having seen Yeon Joo-nim for a long time, I could tell.
How embarrassed she was by her sister-in-law’s behavior.
Even if she pretended to be okay, she must have been very embarrassed because she was not used to Joo-ah’s kind attitude after she was drunk yesterday.
‘Still, it wasn’t that she was offended or burdened.’
When we think of Yeon Yeon-nim’s meeting with her family in her early years, we can see that she has gotten used to us a lot.
On the contrary, it was also a time for her family to get used to her.
“Yesterday…I think I was too drunk, sister. I’m sorry.”
“It’s cute, so that’s okay.”
“!!!”
At the words of her playing and her older sister, everyone in her dinning room opened her eyes and looked at her.
“…Why?”
Sister Yeon-joo looked at her family with her doubts, as if she didn’t know that what she said would cause such a huge reaction.
“No, I just got a little excited. Is this normal?”
“…Me too.”
“Just admit that.”
Should I feel a sense of crisis?
Rather than feeling a sense of crisis, in fact, the family who were thrilled by Yeon Joo was cute.
“Why are you all so cute?”
“What!”
“I’m going to wake the kids up.”
Jung-hwa slipped away, and soon the kitchen was in a foreseeable mess.
At least what is certain is that there are more families who like Yeon Joo.
As much as I’m not the woman I fell in love with for nothing, her family also fell in love with Yeon Joo’s charms.
Watching my sister eat her bean sprout soup, I recalled the story she and I shared last night at her drinking party.
♧ ♧ ♧
One by one they got drunk and disappeared, and before I knew it, the only ones left at the table were Yeon Joo and I.
“Huh? Where has everyone gone?”
“I went in drunk.”
“Wow~ Has the time already been like this? I thought it hadn’t been that long. The day flew by.”
At the time, I was also slightly drunk.
Thanks to you, I feel very good.
Feeling intoxicated, I told Yeon Joo-nim what was disappointing about today’s family gathering.
“I think it would be good to call the sister-in-law next time.”
“Gwani?”
“Yes. My sister-in-law is also my family.”
It’s been quite a while between her and me.
However, because her job was so unique, she was not willing to invite her to family gatherings.
‘A gangster…Because he’s the boss.’
Where I can’t see, she will always be covered in her blood.
In other words, even if I could be fine, my family wouldn’t think so.
Yeon-joo noona seemed to be worried about that too, so she made a very strange expression at my suggestion.
“Well, what about Kwani?”
“She’s not very positive. She’s asked me a few times and she never said anything good.”
I don’t know if it’s because of the qualifications for the job, or if it’s because I don’t want to be included in my family.
‘Maybe I’m more impatient because I keep acting passively.’
Anyway, my sister-in-law was coyly dodging my suggestion, and I didn’t like it.
She somehow wants her sister-in-law to come into my family members and get along well together.
“Your sister is doing well too. If you meet your sister-in-law, wouldn’t she get along well?”
Currently, my girls are divided into two groups: domestic and international.
The different groups were aware of each other’s existence, but had not been introduced.
So, before introducing them to each other, I hoped that the women belonging to the country would get to know each other.
“If it’s a coffin I know, she probably hates it. She’s a worried person by nature and doesn’t know how to treat normal people, so she’ll feel burdened.”
“You never thought your ex-sister-in-law was particularly special that way, did you?”
I did get the feeling that she was a little more polite and cautious than the average person.
If you look like that, your family won’t think it’s strange.
“It’s because it’s in front of you.”
“Everyone knows a little bit because they came to meet Hyeon-oh.”
“It’s very different from being introduced for a while.”
It was unexpected.
“I thought my sister would actively ask me to try it, but didn’t I?”
“Maybe that’s the case when the coffin is looking at that kid alone. But for everyone’s sake, it’s better not to introduce them. You seem to want all four girls to get along, but you need to know that it can be greedy.”
“…Greed?”
For a moment, my sister’s words stabbed me to the point, and I stopped.
It was good to see everyone getting along.
So I thought it would be nice for her sister-in-law to get along well with her family.
Not knowing that she was greedy, she was trying to make her relationship work somehow.
‘Really? No, it’s because I was stabbed by my sister’s words.’
Those who deny it will only get dirty.
Even in her family now, people with good inclinations get together and play together.
People of the same age or with similar interests.
As the number of families continues to increase in the future, such cases will become more and more common.
‘But I’m hoping everyone is doing well.’
What would you do if someone got into a fight because you were just forcing them to get along like that?
It wasn’t a very wise move to put someone who didn’t fit.
It could cause a fight that wouldn’t happen if you kept a reasonable distance.
“Do you think no?”
“…No. I think you’re right. I was greedy.”
He gets grumpy and his shoulders droop.
Everyone gets along.
It would be nice if it could be like that.
However, to each of them, who have their own unique personalities, this kind of attitude of mine felt forced, and it seemed like it could come as stress.
“I wonder if everyone is paying attention to me wanting to be friends with them?”
“How could you not care? Of course they do. I can’t help but notice how much you value your family.”
“…I had no idea.”
“So, even now, adjust yourself properly. Don’t go around forcing everyone to get along like that.”
My mind is dizzy at the fact assault that is quietly stuck in my ear.
“Yeah…Ah…That’s a bit embarrassing. Why didn’t I know about this?”
After answering calmly, Yeonju sister gurgled the wine and handed me a glass.
I toughly accepted a glass full of Western liquor.
“Drink. It’ll make you feel sick. Give me an excuse.”
It was a drink that could be considered punishment, but I did not intend to refuse it.
Gulp!
The hot alcohol flowing down his esophagus brightened his mind, which had been dizzy from the fact assault.
“Keuuu…It’s very poisonous.”
The spirit of alcohol rises sharply.
“I’ve been wanting to point this out for a long time. I hope you don’t feel too sad about it.”
“I’m not sad. I’m not that narrow-minded!”
“Okay, don’t dig in too much because you value your family and the other kids know that and follow it without complaint.”
“Yes.”
I was sorry and thankful at the same time to my family who understood that I was not a child and had such a ridiculous complaint.
“Isn’t there anything to fight about because the kids are gentle in the first place?”
“Haha, that’s right. Even if I hadn’t fluttered, everyone would have been nice and get along well. Thank you, older sister.”
If Yeon Joo hadn’t told me, I would have kept making mistakes.
It’s not a bad idea to want everyone to get along, so maybe I was obsessed with that thought and ended up forcing it instead of asking for it.
“I didn’t say anything nice, so what’s thanks?”
“No! Thank you so much for telling me. If you see something like this in the future, please let me know. Anytime. I’m truly grateful right now.”
“…It seems so.”
“Haha! Did you wake up?”
“It’s because of Yangju.”
Also, age cannot be ignored.
Then, I suddenly remembered something, so I told Yeon-joo.
“Sister, by the way. I told my family earlier. What do you think of that?”
I was worried that the story of life expectancy might have been forced upon my family.
In addition, I couldn’t help but ask because I saw the age of Jung-hwa and Yeon-joo’s sister as the right time to decide the lifespan issue.
“Are you talking about increasing lifespan?”
“Yes.”
“Of course, there is no reason to refuse. Everyone hesitated because they were confused in the first place, and no one will refuse.”
“As expected? Fortunately, I was worried about what to do if my family didn’t like it.”
I couldn’t force someone I didn’t want to spend a long time with.
However, as a personal greed, I wanted everyone to be with me for a long time.
So when Yeon Joo noona said she liked it, I felt at ease.
