Chapter 1261 – You Are Santa, Right? Right?
“Haeup”
Ah!
The hardened syrup broke, and refreshing juice flowed out. It was worth eating up to this point. However, the syrup stuck to my teeth, and the more I chewed, the sweeter it became, so I couldn’t really taste the fruit.
“What makes this so delicious?”
Even though it was famous on the internet, it wasn’t delicious. Rather, he looked at Tanghulu, who was in the tasteless category, with a strange gaze. But Sehee and Yena ate with smooth lips and white teeth.
“That’s why you don’t have any friends. Haeup”
“Hey.”
“Hello! Is it tasty! Doesn’t he taste good? “Why?”
“Well. I guess it’s not your taste.”
While watching the two of them eating deliciously, I turned my attention to the Tanghulu stick with a paper cup attached. The surface was smooth due to the syrup and the elongated black sapphire fruit inside looked delicious, but the reality was not good.
“Or maybe this was just too popular for my taste? Jjung”
While I was contemplating whether to take another bite, Sehee said jokingly. She lightly sucked the sticky syrup spread on the surface of Tanghulu and talked nonsense.
“If you eat there, it will get closer to the taste of Assa. “It’s a public restroom.”
“Why am I eating Tanghulu in the bathroom?!”
“You can eat it. “I also ate lunch.”
“When did I?!”
“My sister told me everything. “My brother says he eats in the bathroom when he’s not there.”
“I ate it in my room! “At that time!”
“Oh, but I’ve had a good meal in the bathroom before.”
In an instant, Sehee’s eyes looking at me turned strange. Sehee briefly looked at Yena, who was busy eating Tanghulu, and spoke in a whisper.
“Me.”
“?!”
“Do you want to eat later? Because you saw an opportunity?”
“Oh, kinda!”
“Why are you like that? While I ate it deliciously. That’s a lot.”
No matter how much I hated it, the smile on my young face never disappeared. Sehee looked me up and down with her dark blue eyes and a bit into Tanghulu with her lips that turned up.
“Wow!”
With a mouth shape that looks like it is sucking on a body part rather than food.
“Yes, Yena!”
Realizing that her head was getting hot, she hurriedly called Yena. As she ate the Tanghulu, I offered what I was eating to Yena, who looked up with her round eyes.
“Do you want to eat uncle?”
“Uh? Is that okay?”
“Huh. I don’t think it suits your taste.”
“Ah, it must be a taste.”
“It’s noisy.”
I looked around while saying something to Sehee. As it is a busy city, many people came and went even though it was cold and a little late, and some of them passed us and entered the department store.
Of course, we didn’t come to the department store to eat Tanghulu. Since it was a Christmas party and year-end party soon, we came here to choose gifts for each other.
“Jjung, jjung”
“It’s Yena. There are wet tissues here. Wipe it with this.”
“Yes.”
That thing really looked delicious. The two of them shared the Tanghulu I gave them in addition to their own and wiped their hands covered in syrup. Among them, Sehee asked in a sighing voice.
“You can’t buy anything for a baby, right?”
“Saya, shouldn’t we? “I think your sister will be upset.”
“There is nothing to live for. “Her sister already bought them all.”
“But it’s good to have at least one. “I’m upset.”
“Because there is nothing to live for.”
As Sehee said, the devil ordered child care products at random, so there was nothing to buy. However, I was a little worried because I couldn’t buy it.
“Huh! Huh! Mister! Uncle!”
Yena held up her hand after wiping it with the wet tissue she received from Sehee. He grabbed our attention and told us good ideas with bright eyes.
“My little brother! “Give me a gift for my younger brother!”
“Yena?!”
“Puhup?! Tsk, tsk tsk… !”
I couldn’t help but be shocked when he asked me to give my younger brother a gift even though he wasn’t even born yet. However, Sehee burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking, and asked why she thought that.
“Yes, Yena… ! Why did you think like that? … ?”
“This is it. When you give a gift, you think about something you would enjoy having. So. This is what I want, little brother! “Give me a gift for my younger brother!”
“Tsk tsk…” … ! Oh, okay… ! I’ll give it my strength… !”
“Hey?!”
Tak!
It was so absurd that I lightly pushed Sehee. Sehee, whose body shook slightly because of me, still couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Hehe.”
Yena, not realizing why I was doing this, smiled innocently. She sighed and gestured towards the entrance of the department store, looking at her very bright appearance.
“Ha, let’s go in first. “If you go in, there will be at least one thing left to buy.”
“If you want to give a gift to your younger brother, you have to go somewhere else, right?”
“Oh, kinda.”
Hehe. Let’s go quickly.”
Yena came up to me as I glanced at Sehee, who was still giggling, and held her hand. I took one look at Yena and held her hand with Sehee as we entered the department store.
“Mom! Mom, I’m kidding! “Buy me a joke!”
“She said mommy no! Seunghyun lives here! Mom is going!”
“Oh my, brother. Look over there. “Isn’t that child abuse?”
Department stores were crowded as it was close to Christmas. It was so crowded that I didn’t know if it was a department store or the bottom of the market, so I wanted to go out.
“Let’s pull out the shopping cart first.”
Of course, there was no way I could leave because there were too many people. Not only was I a father-to-be, a wife to three women, a fiancé to one, and a guardian to a girl, I proudly pulled out my shopping cart.
“Oh, it’s Yena.”
I playfully looked down at Yena, who had let go of her hand while pulling out the shopping cart. She then asked, pointing to the empty cart.
“It’s Yena. Do you want to ride here?”
“Yes? “No!”
“Why? “Babies are supposed to ride here.”
“That’s not the baby! I’ll be in the 4th grade of elementary school soon! The baby is in Hayang’s tummy!”
“Ah, did you do that?”
The excited baby patted her head lightly and looked at Sehee. Of course, she asked her the same question.
“Sehee. Then do you want to ride? They say Yena won’t ride.”
“Yes? Me?”
“Uh. You are. Come on, get on.”
“No, brother. “I’m over 20 years old.”
“Are you okay. You are so young. Even if you ride, people won’t know.”
“Do you think that makes sense?”
Of course it couldn’t make sense. Although Sehee was baby-faced, she was at most a middle school student and did not look old enough to ride around in a shopping cart. But this lie ended with Sehee smiling.
“You too, my brother. “It’s Yena.”
Sehee, who was smiling at me, called Yena. I should have stopped her at this time.
“I think I’ll have another little brother?”
“Hey?!”
“Really? Hee hee! Wow!”
She was shocked at Se-hee and tried to nag her, but she couldn’t because Yena liked clenching her small fists. In the end, I just glared like I always did and started shopping.
“Hmm, what should I choose?”
I walked through the crowd of people and looked at the many products on display. Even though I looked around, I couldn’t find anything worth giving as a gift.
“Ah, brother. How about this?”
Sehee asked while walking through luxury stores that were particularly quiet, unlike other places full of people. She hurriedly walked over and pointed to the wine-colored scarf the mannequin was wearing.
“I think this will go well with Minah. Isn’t that right?”
“It will definitely suit you. However…”
“But why? Isn’t it good?”
“No, not really. “I think it’s too insincere.”
If I had known this would happen, I would have made scarves, fur gloves, and fur hats in matching colors. But regret was always too late. With only a few days left until the party, I couldn’t knit gifts for 5 people.
“Hey, I’m not sure.”
Sehee, who recommended a luxury scarf, had a different opinion than me.
“Sincerity is calculated in money.”
“Hey.”
“Oh? Why? “Was I wrong?”
I deliberately didn’t answer because I couldn’t say it was wrong or right. Instead, he turned his attention to Yena, who was looking blankly somewhere.
“…”
“It’s Yena. “What’s wrong?”
“Mister. Hey, Santa. There’s Santa over there.”
“Santa? Why is Santa here, huh?”
It really was there. Where Yena pointed, there was a real Santa Claus walking around with an impressive red suit and white beard.
“I guess it’s because of the event.”
Sehee, who went in front of the mannequin, came back looking at the same place as us. She put her hand on my hand holding the handle of her shopping cart and told me why Santa exists.
“It’s Christmas now. Then there will be an event at the department store. There is such a thing. Sitting on her lap and asking her what her wish is.”
“Ah, really?”
“Mister. But you know.”
I thought Jena wanted to participate in that event. However, something completely different came out of her mouth as she smiled cutely.
“You’re Santa, right? Right?”
“!”
“I’m not a baby anymore, right? Hehe.”
When I saw Yena smiling brightly, I had complicated emotions. It was a shock to hear that she didn’t believe in Santa, a feeling that Jena had grown up like this, and gratitude for thinking that I was Santa.
There was a saying that Santa’s identity was actually her father. If you compare this to what Yena just said, it wasn’t much different from her saying that she thinks of me as her dad.
“Ah, brother. This should work.”
At this time, Sehee told me that she had a good idea.
“If I lack sincerity, my brother makes up for it. That’s fine.”
As Sehee said that, her gaze was still focused on Santa walking in front of the store.
