“Ah, yes.”
When I went to the table at Shin Yujin’s call, there was a delicious tteokgalbi dish laid out.
As expected, the food prepared by Shin Yujin did not disappoint me. Similar to the tteokgalbi I ate last time. No, I took a bite of tteokgalbi, which was probably even more delicious.
“Wow, Mr. Crazy.”
An exclamation of exclamation naturally flowed out.
The taste is so amazing that it would have been successful even if I had opened a restaurant instead of being an English teacher. Once you taste this taste, which is not irritating but seems to stimulate you in a strange way, you will not be able to stay still.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay. Did you mince the meat and put it together yourself?”
“Of course. Otherwise it wouldn’t be made.”
“Ah, that’s right. Would you like something else besides kimchi? There is something my mom made and sent to me.”
“Huh? really?! Yes, give me that.”
There is a reason why Shin Yu-jin is so welcoming.
The kimchi my mom makes is so ridiculously delicious.
Even when I was dating and after marriage, I could eat without any other side dishes just by eating the kimchi my mother made.
“Mmm!! As expected, the kimchi made by my mother is delicious.”
“My mom’s kimchi is so delicious.”
“Even if I go back to the past, the taste of my mother’s kimchi doesn’t change.”
“Do you remember that? The kimchi was so delicious that I ate it wrapped in roasted sweet potatoes.”
“You emptied half of the kimchi container with that. It was really delicious because it was kimchi.”
While Shin Yu-jin sat down and rested after eating a delicious lunch, I started washing the dishes.
At that time, Shin Yujin’s loud voice was heard from afar.
“Huh?! Hey, where did you buy this?”
“What?”
“Panda.”
“I just saw that one when I went downtown, so I bought one.”
“Can I have this?”
“Sure. Even if I had it anyway, I would leave it anywhere.”
“Thank you. It’s a panda that’s not at home!!”
After finishing washing the dishes, I went around Shin Yujin, and she was holding the panda doll I bought in her hand and staring at it intently.
It was unfamiliar to me because the face of a 20-year-old showed completely different attitudes and actions, but the current Shin Yu-jin looked familiar to me.
At this moment, she seems to be 20-year-old Shin Yu-jin.
“So, is this it? What you bought me when we were dating.”
While watching “, it occurred to me. So I bought it.”
“Hmm, I guess you thought of me?”
“I can’t deny it. I don’t even know why I remember it.”
“For the first time, the same thing happened 14 years ago.”
A month after the regression, the same thing that happened 14 years ago happened for the first time.
Therefore, both Shin Yu-jin and I naturally reminisced about that time, and there was silence for a while.
If we were to find another similar thing in the same situation where a doll was given, it would be the expression on Shin Yu-jin’s face when she received that doll.
Even back then, I looked at the doll with a bright expression like a child.
Even if a long time has passed. Even though a lot has happened.
Shin Yu-jin’s expression at that time still remains vivid in my mind.
“Ah, that’s right. Is that novel in your room? What I said I liked.”
“Maybe there is.”
“I want to look at that.”
“Sure.”
Shin Yu-jin casually went into my room and brought out a novel that was on the bookshelf.
As he sat on the sofa and opened it for a while, he had a puzzled look on his face, as if he had discovered something strange.
“You must have read a lot. It doesn’t feel like a new book at all.”
“How do you know that?”
“If you read a lot of books, you will know. In the past, when I opened this novel, it was a completely new book.”
“I read it a few times because I had nothing to do.”
After a short conversation, Shin Yujin began reading the book. I sat at a distance next to Shin Yujin and played with my cell phone.
Same situation as 14 years ago, but with a different sense of distance.
By telling us about our relationship now, it made me realize that we are not the same at all.
I looked at Shin Yu-jin’s face as she read a book while looking at her cell phone.
Not only did he read the contents of the book, but the look in his eyes that recalled memories of that time was not hidden at all even if he wanted to hide it.
The look in his eyes as he looked back on memories was not the longing seen in ordinary people.
The intention was to leave memories as memories and not miss them at all.
I thought about having some coffee, but Shin Yu-jin doesn’t tend to hear any noises around her when she’s reading an interesting novel, so she quietly left the house and walked to the cafe.
I returned home with Shin Yujin’s favorite cappuccino and an iced Americano, which I often drink.
He was still sitting there, concentrating on the novel.
It’s amazing every time I see it. No matter how interesting a novel is, how can you keep reading it without changing your posture even once?
“Sigh!!”
“What, why are you smiling?”
“Suddenly, I remembered Han Yu-chan’s expression when we read this novel together, and my immersion was broken.”
“What kind of expression did I make before.”
“You said it was touching and you cried. Don’t you remember?”
“… Anna. Have some coffee.”
“I remember everything. But when did you get the coffee?”
“When you are reading a book. Basically, once you concentrate, you don’t know what to do around you.”
“Is it cappuccino?”
“Of course.”
Shin Yujin immediately picked up the cappuccino and brought it to his mouth to drink.
I already knew what the consequences would be if I drank it straight like that, so I tried to tell you in advance.
“Oh, it’s hot!!”
The results had already occurred.
Shin Yu-jin cannot drink or eat hot food. Nevertheless, I always drink hot coffee.
I’ve always wondered why someone likes hot things with a cat’s tongue like that.
“It was all burned… ”
“I told you to drink slowly, but you were already drinking.”
Shin Yu-jin slightly sticks out her tongue and frowns.
That look was a little cute. It feels like having a younger sister next to you.
Shin Yu-jin, who had finished reading the novel, closed the book and stood up with a proud expression.
“I’ll go now. Since I left the meat together, don’t just eat ramen, eat it grilled. Got it?”
“Yes, I understand. Don’t worry, just go.”
“Ha, what is real affection that makes people so anxious?”
“Don’t worry. I’m not worthy of being taken care of by a girl 3 years younger than me.”
“If it weren’t for that, I wonder if I would have come now. Why do you like ramen while exercising?”
“Originally, plus and minus is 0.”
“Yes, I don’t smoke, so 0 would be correct.”
I sat quietly on the sofa in the silence that returned after sending Shin Yu-jin away.
Perhaps because Shin Yu-jin had just left, the warmth still remained on the sofa.
When I feel this warmth, I feel like I feel some emotion that I don’t even know about.
It is an emotion that is by no means positive, and therefore cannot be completely said to be negative.
It’s not even longing. I also don’t think I want to be connected to Shin Yujin again.
In this situation where there is nothing to know, there is only one thing.
I feel like my heart is aching.
-Wheee!! Wow!!
Not long after Shin Yu-jin left, I got a call from Ho-jin. I think he decided to meet up outside after finishing his date with Kim Ye-rim, but since he had nothing else to do, it worked out well.
“Yes, why?”
[Hey, do you want to come out?]
“Is the date over?”
[Yes, it’s over now. Let’s come out and have a drink.]
“You crazy guy, it’s afternoon now. Why are you drinking in the afternoon?”
[What is he saying now. A kid who always comes out whenever we talk about alcohol.]
What kind of life did I live at the age of 23?
When a woman says there’s a light in his eyes, he tries to do something, and when she asks him to just have a drink, he doesn’t refuse and leaves.
Of course, I corrected and changed all those things while dating Shin Yu-jin, but there will never be a limit like this.
“Don’t drink alcohol, just go to a PC room.”
[okay. I’ll send you the address, so come there.]
“I understand.”
As I finished getting dressed and headed out, I checked the location Hojin had sent me.
I don’t know why this guy chose Forest Park as a meeting place when he met men.
I think I probably ended my date with Kim Ye-rim here. Then, can’t we meet somewhere else?
We took a taxi for about 30 minutes and arrived at the agreed upon location.
Just as I was about to call Hojin and ask where he was.
A familiar silhouette caught my eye.
Thinking I had seen something wrong, I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but the silhouette that caught my eye was still standing there.
“Shin Yu-jin.”
“Huh? what. Han Yu-chan, why are you here?”
“Hojin asked me to meet him here.”
“Yerim also asked me to meet her here.”
A feeling of anxiety that comes upon you momentarily.
Immediately, I called Hojin and Shin Yujin called Kim Yerim.
“Hey, where are you?”
[Oh sorry. Something suddenly came up so I don’t think I’ll be able to meet you.]
“What?! What does that mean all of a sudden?”
[Anyway, that’s how it happened. Instead, I’ll give you a round-trip taxi fare. sorry.]
The call ended with a simple apology. I looked into what kind of phone call Shin Yu-jin had with Kim Ye-rim.
“Yerim went home because she remembered her assignment.”
“Assignment?”
“Ugh, yes. But there are no assignments. He and I take the same courses.”
I think we will know what happened to us only after we understand the situation.
That this couple dug a trap of resonance and led us into it.
