A peaceful day (2)
by fnovelpia
The rain seemed to have stopped before I knew it, and when I opened my eyes under the blanket, I felt refreshed than I expected.
When I touched the blanket, only the outside was damp, but the inside was fluffy and didn’t feel bad.
If it weren’t for Minnie next to me, putting her leg over my body…
After carefully pushing Minji’s legs to the side, I got out of the blanket and woke up to see the boys running in the distance.
I’m not particularly interested in running, unless it’s on the treadmill, so I went into my room, took my fishing rod, and headed toward the valley.
I used a bowl to fill the basin with water, dragged it to the shade, and started fishing.
After a while, a minnow was caught and the boys approached.
“Oh, your sweat stinks so bad, wash it off.”
“Just go into the valley, what are you washing?”
“Wow, is that environmental pollution? They’ll go after all the fish. Instead of killing invasive species, you should catch them first.”
Park Ji-hoon said as he looked at me.
“Is that your father’s t-shirt?”
“uh.”
I was wearing an extremely baggy white box t-shirt, squatting down, and enjoying fishing.
“Where did you get the fishing rod?”
“My dad likes fishing, so we have a lot of these at our house. These are for freshwater.”
The fish I caught just in time was quite big this time…
“oh…”
I straightened my folded legs, took a stance, and for a moment gave strength and pulled them up.
Junsu’s eyes sparkle as he grabs the fish’s head, naturally pulls out the hook, and puts it in the basin.
“Junsu, are you going to get caught in a needle if you stay there?”
“yes!”
Junsu came to the other side, and I immediately put the bait in and threw it back into the water.
“Haaam…”
“If you’re tired, sleep more, why don’t you go fishing in the morning?”
I said, wiping away my tears with a yawn.
“It’s fun.”
Hearing the delicious sound of cicadas nearby was perfect healing in itself.
Park Ji-hoon said while checking the fish in the basin.
“If I eat boiled spicy stew, it will be amazing.“
“Yeah, I don’t have any for you.”
“If I just say something…”
I saw Junsu looking closely at the fish.
“Junsu, do you want to try it?”
“yes!”
I stood up and spoke to Park Jihoon.
“Let’s catch a lot with Junsu and eat it for breakfast.”
“okay.”
After finding a long clothesline, I started hanging out the blankets under the mosquito net in the sun, and Minji and Dayeon helped me when they woke up.
“Shall we go for a walk?”
“Oh… I love it.”
We went back to the hotel, put on our wide-brimmed hats, and started walking slowly.
Dayeon was scared when she saw bugs that appeared every now and then, but she still seemed happy.
While walking for a while, Minji was scared when she saw the snake and ran away with Dayeon.
Without thinking, I kicked the snake’s head, and the snake flew into the forest.
“”…..””
When they saw me acting naturally, they slowly approached me with surprised expressions on their faces.
When I returned to the valley, I clicked my tongue when I saw the fish filling the basin, as if I didn’t know how to do it in moderation.
“Are you crazy…?”
When I did it briefly earlier, I expected it to be a good spot because of the speed at which they were caught, but there were more caught than I expected.
I released the fish, which was not suitable for eating because it did not taste good, and quickly began to prepare it.
And I sent Park Ji-hoon on an errand to buy additional ingredients for maeuntang.
Of course, I don’t have the confidence to make spicy stew deliciously.
So after cleaning it, I handed it over to Dayeon, who started making it.
Park Ji-hoon was buying a slingshot while buying supplementary materials, and suddenly he was trying to guess the dragonfly.
“Oh my… are you an elementary school student?”
Every time I see that idiot living up to his age, I am truly amazed.
…I don’t know how many minutes passed, but I was also shooting a slingshot next to me.
Honestly… it was so fucking fun.
Since we were able to order delivery food, we ate chicken for lunch and enjoyed playing in the water again.
Dayeon saw me fishing and came over as if she was curious.
I taught Dayeon how to fish.
“Dayeon’s dad really likes fishing.”
“Yes, I know.”
“I’m sure Dayeon would really like it if we did it together, right?”
“is it?”
“It’s a carrot~”
“I’m Dayeon~”
“Ah? I like it? It’s my style~”
In the evening, we ate grilled meat and enjoyed the end of our healing journey.
The next morning came and I quickly headed home.
“Taal!!!”
My dad was playing a game and came running as soon as he heard me open the door.
“I’m here~”
“It was fun?”
I gave my phone to my dad.
From our guest house, the food we ate, to the tent we played in on a rainy night.
Dad looked at the photos with wide eyes.
“Where am I?”
“why?”
“Shall we go with Dad next time?”
“With Dayeon too. It was really good and fun.”
“Oooh….”
Dad took my cell phone and took all my luggage.
I held out my hand to my dad who was looking at his cell phone, and he gave it back to me.
“Have you gained a lot of weight?”
“Tina?”
“huh.”
My skin was very white, so it just turned red and didn’t turn brown at all.
I said to my dad who opened my suitcase.
“The ones in the pack on the left are what I’m wearing, and the ones on the right are what I’m not wearing.”
“What’s going on? You organized it neatly…?”
“If you act sloppily in front of others, your image as a father could be tarnished.”
“Wow~~ Siyoon~”
“Don’t touch it because it burns and stings.”
“huh…”
I went into the shower room without hesitation.
When I came out after washing up, my dad had finished organizing my luggage.
“Aren’t you going to exercise today?”
“Yeah, I’m tired.”
“Is it still morning? If I sleep now, I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
“I’m still tired, I’ll only sleep for an hour, so wake me up~”
“Okay~ Dad, give me your phone so I can look at the photos.”
“Here, here”
As soon as I gave my phone to my dad, I went to my room to sleep.
I looked at my daughter’s cell phone for a long time.
Normally, a 15-year-old girl would have a lot of secrets, but Siyoon had nothing to hide from me.
When Siyun was young, when she stole the secret diary she had been writing down for homework, didn’t she throw it to her and go to sleep, asking her if she was stealing something…
Looking at those appearances, he looks very similar to his wife.
It took two weeks of deliberation before I was allowed to go on this trip, but I thought it was a good decision.
In most of the photos, Siyoon was smiling brightly.
“Am I… locking myself in too much…?”
When I think about what it was like when I was 15, which was very normal compared to now…
Now, Si-yoon is at an age where he needs to make many friends, share them, laugh, talk, and play with them…
Because I was so famous in Korea, it was so sad to see myself trapped.
Perhaps the same was true for Dayeon, as she looked bright and as if she had found freedom, like a bird coming out of a cage.
And you can see Siyoon’s earrings.
I feel so sorry for always wearing a swimsuit when I’m not wearing it… I feel like I’m thinking of my own mother.
Thinking about this and that, I suddenly looked up at the sky and smiled.
“Baby, I’ll take Siyoon to see you tomorrow~”
After cleaning the house, I made dinner and woke Siyun up.
“Si-yoon, eat.”
It is also very similar to the way he wakes up only after being shaken for a long time.
“Yes?”
“I need to eat, shall we watch a movie today?”
“Uhm…yeah…yeah…”
Now, if you just put Alpha and Beta on the bed, the cats will keep touching Siyoon and he will wake up on his own.
“Come out when you wake up~ Dad, I’m bored.”
“…Yes.”
“Haaaab…”
I touched the white and spotted fur clumps in front of me, then stood up.
“My cell phone… ah…”
As I stretched out and came out into the living room, a delicious smell wafted in the air.
“I’m here?”
“Yes. My cell phone.”
“It’s on the sofa.”
I sat down at the table, holding my phone and putting it in my pajama pocket.
“Shall we go see mom tomorrow?”
“Then, oh that’s right. When are you going to go to grandpa’s?”
“why?”
“I decided to go with the kids who went to play this time.”
“Since Si-yoon is on vacation, um… shall we go next week or the week after?”
“Tell me when the date is set. I’m taking my friends with me.”
“Okay~”
After eating, we grabbed snacks made by Dad and watched the recently released hero movie.
If I had applied for casting in the past, I would have appeared in each series as a child actor in that movie.
As expected, I was able to see with my own eyes the technological prowess of Hansung and Hyundai, and while watching the movie, a hamster appeared on the screen.
“It’s cute~”
“huh.”
“Would you like to raise a hamster?”
“I don’t know how many you plan to raise, but do you want to feed alphas and betas? If you want to form an ecological pyramid, you’ll need quite a few.”
“…..”
“You two will be happy.”
I made my dad realize the reality, and after watching a movie for a while, I fell asleep on the sofa with him for the first time in a while.
The next day, we went to the charnel house.
As I watched my father check and organize the piled up letters, I could see that my mother had quite a few acquaintances.
Seongman Jang, the Dreaming Aunts, and Aunt Ji Eun must have been there recently.
My dad loved my mom so much, but he didn’t show any special attention to the anniversary of her death.
I didn’t even come here on the anniversary.
Why…
Because the anniversary of my mother’s death is my birthday.
My dad, who cries for a long time every time he comes, probably didn’t have the confidence not to cry when he came here with me on my birthday.
However, recently, my father came alone in the early morning while I was sleeping.
“dad.”
“…huh.”
“Let’s come together on my birthday too.”
“…okay.”
The sunny weather from the morning lifted my mood.
I worked out with my dad, took a shower, and got into his car.
“Call me when you’re done.”
“okay.”
It seems like I haven’t been to the Yellow Art Academy much lately, so I came to see the face of teacher Ko Min-soo for the first time in a while.
When I entered, I saw Professor Go Min-soo having a conversation with Professor Ahn Jun-tae.
When he spots me, his eyes widen.
Professor Ahn Jun-tae looks at me as if asking when he grew up so much.
“hello~”
“Is Si-yoon here?”
“Professor Ahn was there?”
“Yeah… we just exchanged pictures. Wow… you’ve grown beyond recognition.”
“You know, right?”
“Ahaha, looking at the way you spoke, it’s just like I remember.”
Professor Ahn Jun-tae suddenly focused on the conversation again and looked at Professor Go Min-soo.
When I saw something moving in the distance, I immediately knew who it was.
“Teacher Seohyun!”
“Oh my! Are you Siyun?!”
I was happy to call Mr. Oh Seo-hyun, the wife of Mr. Go Min-soo.
“What about the essence?”
“I went to the academy~”
“What were you doing?”
“I’m looking for ingredients that are lacking and want to order them.”
As I was talking with Professor Seohyun Oh, Professor Juntae Ahn approached me.
“Can I ask you to draw a picture?”
I looked at Professor Ahn Jun-tae and smiled and nodded.
“It’s not difficult.”
I took a pencil and drew lightly just to provide a baseline.
Everyone began to focus on my drawing as the lines stretched out without any hesitation.
A light yellow color was used as if it would give a bright feeling, and then a black color was used.
Inside the canvas, a dark painting with a feeling of wetness had already been completed.
In the damp and damp-looking darkness, the place surrounded by light made the viewer feel comfortable.
This picture was of a rainy night I saw when I went out to play with club members.
When you focus on a picture, you don’t realize how much time is passing by.
Before I knew it, evening arrived, and I called my dad to come pick me up.
“I’ll go first~”
“Goodbye~”
“Go in carefully~”
I said goodbye to them and headed home.
After going on a trip with the club, my dad started to relax me more and more.
At first, he was extremely anxious, but as long as he was wearing a mask and glasses while walking on the main street, he didn’t touch me like that.
Of course, I wasn’t the type to wander around leaving my dad behind.
In the case of PC rooms, there is no stopping them at all anymore.
After vacation, the rumor spread that I was good at fighting.
It didn’t just spread at school, it just ended up in the media.
You’re such a brat…
It became quite a hot topic because my dad’s job made it easy for him to get into trouble over even the slightest bit of gossip.
I didn’t really care, but the people around me seemed to care a lot.
“Siyuna! Don’t you need to explain?”
“There’s no mention of me specifically harassing anyone.”
“…huh.”
“Well, no matter what people think… it’s not something that doesn’t exist.”
“but…”
Dayeon, who had been worried about me, became depressed at my firm words.
I smiled and said to Dayeon.
“After school, shall we go to the PC room together?”
“…huh.”
