by fnovelpiaI arrived in the city with Han Yu-chan and walked around.
While walking around, I keep hearing murmuring sounds next to me.
I think it’s probably because of the situation a little while ago.
Due to the nature of the city, there was no place to park, so I had to wander around quite a bit. As a result, the car owner sharply criticized me, asking why I asked to come to this place.
I also know.
How frustrating it is for drivers to ask for a ride in a place where parking is difficult.
But for me to think about such things, a convenient means of transportation flashed before my eyes.
I know I did something wrong, so I’m not saying anything even though I’m muttering like that.
“Oh, how do I get out? It’s going to take a while.”
“Tteokgalbi.”
“Huh? Why Tteokgalbi?”
“The lunch menu is changing to tteokgalbi. Is this enough?”
“The tteokgalbi made by Shin Yujin would be worth all the trouble.”
Anyway, if you tell him that you only feed him tteokgalbi, he will roll his eyes and say that anything is okay.
“But what is there to buy?”
“Charger. When I looked, the clothing had come off.”
“Again?”
“A few ballpoint pens. I ran out of ink.”
“There are definitely a lot of notes to take in the English language arts department. We rarely do that.”
I went into a general store that sells everything and was looking at chargers when I saw Han Yu-chan, who couldn’t take his eyes off the pen display shelf.
Oh right. Boy, was he a pen fanatic.
From their first meeting, Han Yu-chan was very interested in pen types.
That interest continued until I started dating and got married, and I had a habit of buying any pen that looked good, regardless of the price.
As expected, that habit still seems to persist.
“Is there anything good?”
“I tried to buy this a while ago but couldn’t because it was a limited edition.”
“That’s right. You were in an uproar because you couldn’t buy it back then.”
“Now is not the time for limited editions. Should I buy one?”
“If you want to buy it, buy it.”
“Oh, I left my wallet.”
“Just Cocoa Pay… There was nothing like that in 2009. I’ll just buy it for you. Pick one.”
“Oh, really?! Thank you.”
I said I would buy it anyway, thinking it wouldn’t be that expensive…
What is wrong with my eyes? Why is the number of 0s like this?
When I saw the price tag of 100,000 units, I knew something was wrong.
“Hey, this won’t work.”
“Eng?! Why suddenly?”
“Too expensive. What kind of pen costs over 100,000 won?”
“I said I would buy it for you. What is given and then taken away?”
“You never gave it to me in the first place?!”
“He said he would buy it for me. Buy it.”
“No. I’ll buy you something else. Below 50,000 won.”
“Ah, I want this. Buy it for me.”
Suddenly, Han Yu-chan began to raise his tone of voice and lengthen his sentences.
It seems like he somehow chose whining as a means to obtain this pen.
I tried to ignore Han Yu-chan’s behavior and pass it by, but I felt the eyes of the people around me increasingly focusing on us.
“I understand!! I’ll buy it for you. He said he would buy it for me!! So shut up!!”
“Yes. Hehe, thank you.”
“Ha… Does this kid have a mental age of 14? Why are you whining like this?”
“You said you would buy it, but you didn’t buy it, so you are bad.”
“What should I do with this golden chick? ‘Are you 23 years old?’
”Surprisingly, he is 23 years old, 3 years older than you.“
”I’m really ashamed of my past of calling this guy oppa.“
I had no choice but to calculate everything I purchased along with the pen that Han Yu-chan had chosen.
I couldn’t stop sighing because I had to spend half of the tutoring fee I received today because of Han Yu-chan.
“I’ll buy you one at a similar price next time.”
“Don’t try to subtly subtract from today’s price of tteokgalbi.”
“Ah, this is being caught.”
“How come you don’t exceed my expectations?”
“Isn’t it weirder to break away?”
Well, since we’ve been together for 14 years, it’s even weirder that he’s acting so unexpectedly.
Now, just as I was about to go back after shopping nearby, an underwear store caught my eye.
Even though it’s not something I need to buy right now, it’s time to replace all the underwear I own because they’re all worn out.
Anyway, should I take him with me?
“Why?”
“I’m going to buy underwear. Do you want to go in together?”
“Do you want to come in?”
“Right? I was going to wear something you wanted if we went in together.”
“I had a rough idea, so I don’t really want to see it. Come back alone.”
If Han Yu-chan caught my prank, I tried to make fun of him as much as I could by asking him if he believed it, but as expected, he is a quick-witted guy.
They gave each other a refreshing middle finger and entered the store.
When I was 20, I liked underwear with innocent designs. I also liked cute things.
But I don’t see that style right now.
Would it be a waste to wear such underwear with such an enormous body and perfect face?
I want to try on underwear that I have never tried before due to age spots and wrinkles that appear as I age.
So, I selected only underwear with sexy designs and purchased about 4 sets.
After I was satisfied with my shopping, I came out of the store and saw Han Yu-chan with his eyes fixed on the shopping bags.
“Boy, if you wanted to see it, you should have gone in together.”
“… Who said they wanted to see it? I was just staring.”
“Aren’t you curious about what kind of underwear you bought?”
“You must have bought childish underwear. Water droplets or something like that.”
“No? I only bought really sexy things.”
Han Yu-chan’s eyes wandered in the air, trying to avoid looking at the shopping bags, but he felt a glance at him.
The moment I opened the shopping bag wide, wanting to tease Han Yu-chan a little more.
“Wow, Mr.!! Oh, what is it?”
“You idiot. It’s packaged so you can’t see it even if you open it like this.”
“I can’t see this.”
“Wipe your saliva. I missed you so much that I drooled.”
“Me, me?!”
“Of course it’s a grunge. Are you fishing for that?”
“… I will really bury you someday.”
“Aya, a dog in heat is about to attack.”
“What are you saying, crazy bitch.”
After doing all the errands in the city, I got into Han Yu-chan’s car and went home.
Every time I took a breath, Han Yu-chan’s body scent passed by the tip of my nose.
What should I say about this?
It’s not an unpleasant smell, but it’s not a smell I want to keep smelling.
Nevertheless, if you continue to take charge…
It feels like something is relaxing.
“What are you doing?”
“Huh? What?”
“I feel like I’m looking around a lot.”
“I was looking for any traces of the woman.”
“Why are you anxious that a woman other than you was put in the passenger seat?”
“Really, Han Yu-chan, you have a talent for making people swear.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve never picked any other woman but you.”
“It’s not that it just didn’t burn, it’s that it couldn’t be burned. I don’t have a woman to ride.”
Judging by the momentary twitching of the body, my prediction seems to have been correct.
In my memory, there is no female friend who is close enough to Han Yu-chan to give him a ride.
Su-ah, a junior in the same department whom I met by chance and talked to, met occasionally for tea, but we were not close enough to be considered female friends.
The first female friend I met after returning to school was me, and the first girlfriend I met was me.
It was the same for me too.
“Hey, let’s just go to my house.”
“There’s Yerim in your house.”
“I went on a date with Hojin oppa. I’ll come back in the evening.”
“Wow, you really went there again?”
“Maybe? Otherwise, there is no way I would go out early in the morning and come back late in the evening.”
“That’s amazing. It’s when you’re young.”
“We are young now too. The problem is that I have a mindset of someone in my mid-30s.”
When I arrived at my house and stood in front of the front door, Han Yu-chan was pressing the door lock code very naturally without saying anything.
After we started dating, we started living together after Yerim left the room to live with Hojin.
Maybe that’s why he remembered all the numbers without missing a single one.
“It’s just your house, right?”
“Even if I want to ring the doorbell, I can’t help it because my body remembers it.”
“I’ll prepare right away. I’m waiting.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I immediately took out the ingredients from the grocery store and started making today’s lunch, tteokgalbi.
After shaping the finely minced meat and putting it together, the meat is grilled.
While the meat was grilling, I made other side dishes to go with it.
By the time the food was ready, Han Yu-chan, who had been waiting, came to the kitchen and started laying out the dishes.
Even when we were a couple, I felt a little comfortable because I did this myself without having to say anything.
“Hey, then are you going to be alone today until Yerim comes home?”
“Well, I guess so. It won’t be that late. He said he would come in before 9 o’clock.”
“Anyway, you’ll be alone until then. Are you okay?”
“Are you worried? I’m afraid it’ll be like last time.”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried.”
“I’m a little worried, but it’ll be okay. There’s also something you told me last time.”
“Me? What did I tell you?”
I guess I’ve already forgotten what you told me at the forest park.
Although these words seemed to be spoken lightly by my standards, they were very reassuring and warm words to me.
After hearing that, I was able to endure it alone even when Yerim came home late due to work.
“… Asshole.”
“What is it? Why are you swearing all of a sudden?”
When he saw Han Yu-chan, who still couldn’t remember and had an embarrassed expression on his face, the corners of his mouth naturally went up.
There’s really never a dull moment when you’re with him.
