episode_0043
by fnovelpiaI had a very peaceful and comfortable day with my parents.
My role was to always prepare food, but if I sit still, I get food.
Even if you don’t have to wash the dishes or clean, Mom and Dad do it for you and tell you to rest comfortably.
It’s like enjoying the life of a modern person who returns home because modern society is too difficult.
Of course, this time did not last, and on the morning of the last day, we prepared to leave again.
“Eujin, are you leaving today?”
“Yeah, I’m going to eat breakfast.”
“Then I guess I should make breakfast delicious too.”
“Don’t make too much. I don’t eat much breakfast anyway.”
“Still, I’m sending my daughter away, so can I make it lighter?”
For reference, my mom’s hands are rather large. It’s not just big, it’s extremely big.
If you make one food, you can make enough to eat for more than two weeks, so much so that you have doubts about its ability to multiply indefinitely.
Especially when making noodle-type foods such as noodles.
Even if you give it to everyone around you, there will still be leftover even if you eat three meals a day for a week.
“Yujin.”
“Yes, Dad.”
“Now, pocket money.”
“What?! Why pocket money? Dad, you said your daughter would make money.”
“It is the parents’ heart to want to take care of them every time they come.”
Suddenly, a large sum of 100,000 won enters my wallet, which is quite embarrassing.
Two 50,000 won bills that were just issued!!
“Dad, you can just give me a 10,000 won bill. It’s been less than a month since the 50,000 won bill came out.”
“That’s how important my daughter is.”
“I have to brag to them. Thanks, Dad. I love you!!”
As the new certificate enters my wallet, old thoughts come to mind.
14 years ago, when I came down to my parents’ house for summer vacation, my father gave me two new certificates and I was so amazed that I was bragging to everyone around me.
At that time, I was the only one around me who had a priesthood in his wallet.
“Daughter, let’s have breakfast.”
“… What is this?!”
“What is it? Beef ribs.”
“Mom, what kind of resentment do you have with Sorang? No, I just pulled out all the ribs.”
“Eat a lot. If it’s not enough, tell me.”
“Well, that can’t be possible. I could eat this with everyone in the neighborhood.”
“Thanks to my daughter, I get to eat a lot of beef ribs.”
When I saw the beef rib tower that seemed difficult to even build, I was speechless.
I realized once again where all of my dad’s salary was disappearing, and I began to carefully tear off the ribs to make sure the tower didn’t collapse.
“Is it delicious?”
“Yes, it’s so delicious!!”
Even though I ate breakfast so diligently, the ribs did not shrink, so I held them in the package in my hand.
I think I should eat this with Yuchan. I ended up eating for over two weeks by myself.
As the time came to pack up and part ways, I couldn’t move easily.
Even if it is not a permanent breakup, it is always difficult to get used to this time.
“Daughter, take care at school and come again next time. Got it?”
“Yes, I understand!!”
I put down my luggage for a moment and quickly ran over to hug my mom and dad at the same time.
It’s a shame that I won’t be able to feel this warmth and comfort for a while.
In my heart, I even want to stay at my parents’ house throughout the vacation.
“And next time, come with your boyfriend.”
“W-what are you talking about!! Mom, can’t you see Dad’s expression?”
“Even if your dad looks like that, he likes it when you bring him here.”
No, is that possible? I was going to crush Yoo-chan’s shoulders just because I brought him here.
“I love you, daughter.”
“See you next time, Eugene.”
“Yes, Mom and Dad!! I love you!!”
We shared a deep hug, whispered love, and stepped out of the house.
Today, instead of playing with Yu-chan, I plan to stay at home and spend time.
Because I am tired and want to enjoy this longing that still remains.
I called Yuchan to tell him the news.
“Yoo-chan.”
[Yes why?]
“It’s going up again now.”
[already? I shouldn’t have eaten until dinner.]
“I wanted to do that, but I felt like my parents would have a hard time if I stayed at home.”
[Then there is nothing we can do. Want to rest at home?]
“Yes, I’m going to rest today. It’s difficult in many ways. Oh, and mom made me braised beef ribs.”
[really?! and… From now on, I will only eat beef ribs for a while.]
“Even if we eat together, we will eat for a week. Anyway, I’ll go tomorrow.”
[okay. Get some rest.]
When I arrived after a long journey, I briefly said hello to Yerim and settled down on the bed.
Moving long distances is always really difficult.
***
While Eugene was at home, I was able to enjoy some very peaceful alone time.
however.
That peaceful time disappeared and illegal intruders took over our luggage again.
Why on earth is this person at my house and not his house?
Even though my friend who lives with me came back from a trip.
Of course, today it’s Eugene, not a trespasser.
As the day to go on a trip to the sea arrives, the anticipation is probably indescribable.
“Yuchan, did you take sunscreen?”
“I took it.”
“What about swimsuits?”
“Of course I took it. Don’t mind me, mind you. Did you get everything?”
“Of course I took everything. Also, don’t say you left it behind when you arrived at the accommodation.”
I am dissatisfied with Yujin, who nags me and never leaves my side, but I have nothing to say because of the karma I have accumulated over the years.
At the beginning of their relationship, they were definitely boyfriend and girlfriend, but as time went by, the relationship between mother and son became something strange.
After completing all preparations, we set off.
Since it was quite a distance to travel, I decided to take a bus rather than a car.
“Ah, that’s right. Do you have anything to take out before loading?”
“None. Oh, I should buy a few bags of snacks before I leave.”
“So. I’ll be loading the luggage.”
“Yes, I understand!!”
In all of her actions and words, I could see that Yujin was excited and looking forward to the sea trip.
Although I don’t show it on the outside, I also have high expectations just as high as Yujin’s expectations.
Because the first time is always something to look forward to.
As I was sitting on the bus seat with all my luggage, I saw Yujin, who had bought a bunch of snacks.
I think he said he would only buy a few bars.
“Why did you buy so much?”
“It’s a national rule to eat snacks while moving.”
“They’re all potato chips. There is only original and onion.”
“I can’t help it. At this time, various flavors have not yet been released.”
While I was tidying up the area to make things easier to use, Yujin opened a bag of potato chips and started eating it.
Even though I don’t like potato chips, seeing them eating them so deliciously made me want to eat them.
“Give me too.”
“Take it and eat it.”
“You don’t have any hands. I’m organizing it.”
“Oh, really. Why does it take so much effort?”
Eugene, who was complaining, took out some potato chips and put them in my mouth.
Just when I felt a little playful and was about to lightly bite Yujin’s finger.
“Where!!”
Eugene quickly noticed and took his hand out of my mouth.
Perhaps because it doesn’t happen once or twice, they are quite quick to notice.
“Kabi.”
While the bus was moving, our stories continued.
Like Eugene’s story about what happened while he was back home, or my story about what I did while I was alone.
The stories didn’t stop, and at the same time, the laughter didn’t stop either.
“As soon as we get there, pack up our bags and go straight to the beach.”
“Okay, I understand. Even if you don’t say that, I’m going to run anyway.”
“Ah, I’m looking forward to it!! When will it arrive?”
“There’s an hour and a half left. Just wait a moment.”
“I couldn’t sleep last night because I was so excited.”
In this situation, in my experience…
“Ko… ”
As expected, Yujin fell asleep shortly afterwards.
Sleeping with a bag of snacks in my hand just makes me laugh. I think cuteness probably plays a part too.
“Why is he sleeping so uncomfortable?”
Eugene is sleeping with his head in the air.
If you leave it like this, you will definitely feel extreme neck pain when you wake up.
I had no choice but to let Eugene’s head rest on my shoulder and create an environment where he could sleep comfortably.
People say I always put a lot of work into it, but that’s not what Yujin should say.
“Han Yu-chan… ”
When I heard my name softly, I instinctively looked at Yujin.
Am I even dreaming?
“Residence… Hehehe… ”
“Hey, you’re not sleeping, are you?”
Why is he talking in his sleep so strangely? It’s so absurd that I can’t help but laugh.
Travel is always something to look forward to.
If this is your first trip, you can’t help but look forward to it even more.
To think that we are going to the sea together, a place we have never been to together in 14 years.
My expectations gradually grew.
What we live in is the present, not the past.
This is what I told Eugene every time.
As much as it is the present, the future is one where we will spend new time creating new memories.
I can only look forward to that future.
