by fnovelpiaFortunately, Eugene greeted the morning as the usual person I know.
He seemed to have had no nightmares since then, and his facial expression was quite good, and his tension was also high.
The problem was that I didn’t sleep well.
Not only was the bed too narrow, but I closed my eyes a little to worry that Yujin might have another nightmare.
“Yuchan, are you okay? You look very tired.”
“What… There is only one class, so you have to take it quickly.”
“What time will you come?”
“It ends at 12, so it will be around 12:30 when I get home.”
“Then, I will prepare lunch at that time.”
“Okay, thank you.”
When I came home carrying this heavy body, I felt relieved that there was someone to take care of it.
I only had one subject today, so I didn’t carry my bag and stepped into the front door with only my major book in hand.
“Go and come.”
“If anything happens, call me right away. Don’t try to bear it alone.”
“What could possibly happen? I’m just going to stay at home anyway.”
“I’ll go and come back.”
Anyway, I’m alone at home and it’s morning so I don’t think anything special will happen.
I’m tired, so I should hurry up and go to school.
***
Yuchan left for school and was left alone.
I’ll be back in two hours, so I just need to be alone until then, but I don’t know what to do.
Even if you want to watch the Hanmu challenge, cable TV is not well developed in this era, so you have to turn on the TV during reruns to watch it.
“First of all… Should we start with cleaning?”
Yuchan went into the room first and opened the window to ventilate the room and shook off the blanket.
I still can’t believe that I slept in this bed with Yuchan.
In a nightmare I had so vividly against my will, I heard Yuchan’s voice and was able to open my eyes to violent movements.
How relieved I was that the person I saw as soon as I opened my eyes was Yu-chan.
I realized that the nightmare was not reality, but what I was seeing was reality.
My body moved first and hugged Yuchan.
“This is already the second time.”
You may think that the same thing will not happen again and again, but it is not as easy as you think.
And when I see Yu-chan while I am engulfed in those emotions.
I feel warmth in a corner of my heart. At the same time, your body also becomes warm and you feel at ease.
I don’t know why. Is it because we have spent a lot of time together?
“Ugh, look at the dust. Does this guy clean for a living? He says he always cleans with his own mouth.”
It took 15 minutes just to clean Yuchan’s room. In my eyes, the cleaning quality was lacking, and I was only satisfied after cleaning everything, even under the bed.
After that, I cleaned the living room.
What a mess the living room looks like.
When I swept under the sofa, a huge amount of dust was revealed.
Cleaning is not something that is just scratched the surface. How is this possible?
After finishing all the cleaning, I put all the laundry piled up in the basket into the washing machine.
The good news is that unlike before, it wasn’t piled up as much.
They probably have their own standards for cleaning up. That standard seems to fall far short in my eyes.
“Why is the gas stove in this condition? Look how shiny it is with oil.”
As time passed, this housewife’s gaze seemed to not go anywhere, so she couldn’t help but wipe everything down, even the gas stove.
I spent an hour just cleaning and organizing.
“Hmm… Now it looks a bit like a house where people live. I will be happy if Yuchan comes.”
After finishing all the cleaning and sitting on the sofa, Yerim called me like a ghost.
This is enough to make you wonder if there is CCTV somewhere.
“Yes, Yerim.”
[Eujin, when will you come home today?]
“After lunch at Yu-chan’s house, I’m going to change my phone and go.”
[okay? Then, I will go in at that time.]
“I understand. See you then.”
[I feel so happy to see you getting along well with Yu-chan.]
Normally, a reaction like this would lead them to be dismissed as a couple again, but Yerim didn’t continue talking after that.
I’m just a little embarrassed by the unusual reaction.
“Why don’t you hook me up with Yu-chan?”
[Well, I’m going to stop now. I think something was too harsh between me and Hojin.]
“I’m glad I finally figured that out.”
[I feel good just seeing them become friends. Do you know how much it hurt me to see you and Hojin when we fought?]
“That’s right. Somehow, I ended up causing harm to the people around me. I was sorry back then.”
[anyway. I hope you continue to do well.]
“Yes, I will do that.”
After a short phone call with Yerim, I looked back on our previous relationship.
I think we had a relationship that was truly a mess.
Even though we agreed not to worry about each other, we get angry and fight over trivial things.
Then the voices grew louder and it turned into a fight.
As much as I learned a lot from what happened before, I don’t want to repeat it again.
***
As I was spending time alone, it was already time for Yu-chan to come home.
I quickly got up from the sofa, put the side dishes I made yesterday on a plate, set them up, and finished preparing for lunch.
About 5 minutes passed like that.
“I came.”
Yuchan opened the front door and appeared.
“Are you here?”
“Ah, it’s hard. It’s just one class, why is it so hard?”
“I guess it’s because I couldn’t sleep last night. Sorry.”
I was feeling guilty seeing Yu-chan looking tired this morning, but Yu-chan smiled lightly and placed his hand on my head.
“I’m sorry for something like this. Let’s eat something.”
“Uh, yes. I’m ready.”
“Wow, lunch is ready when I get home. I’ll eat well.”
It’s funny that the corners of my mouth turn up at something like this, but I smiled despite my will.
Yuchan put down his book, washed his hands and feet in the bathroom, came out, and immediately sat down at the table.
“Finally trying this side dish.”
“Did you want to try it yesterday?”
“The taste of eating freshly prepared side dishes is different. But if I tried to eat it, I couldn’t because I was afraid that I would nag you.”
“When did I nag you about something like that?”
“I already have a lot to eat, so eat this next time. It’s like that every time.”
When you say it so clearly, I really don’t have anything to say. I think I was nagging about something too trivial.
“Anyway, hasn’t much changed since you came home?”
“Hmm? What has changed… uh?! It has become very clean?”
“I did all the cleaning. Under the bed and under the sofa.”
“Wow, I was neglecting that place because it was a hassle.”
“Somehow. There was a mountain of dust.”
“Thank you, Eugene. They even do all the cleaning.”
“I did it because I also received help from Yuchan yesterday.”
Yu-chan started eating all the side dishes I made.
As I continued to see things like this, I began to wonder if I had been too indifferent before returning.
Seeing that he eats so well, it would have been nice to at least once make a side dish for Yu-chan, who is grumpy, without getting annoyed.
If that were the case, we would have fought a little less.
“Ah, it was a good meal. Thanks to you, I really enjoyed it.”
“Thank goodness. Because it suits my taste.”
“Because my stomach is full, it feels like my eyes are closing.”
“Should I go buy a cell phone after sleeping a little?”
“Um, no. I felt energized thanks to the side dish you made. Thank you.”
Yuchan’s words reached my ears and for a moment I doubted what I had just heard.
This is something I have never heard from Yuchan before.
Of course, after my regression, I heard similar things a few times when I made special food, but hearing about making side dishes like this felt different from back then.
“What’s wrong?”
“What you just said… It sounds very awkward.”
“Uh, really? Didn’t I tell you this much?”
“I feel good.”
“I will say this often from now on. I’m sorry for not telling you this all this time.”
I doubt whether the person in front of me right now is really the Han Yu-chan I know.
Maybe I’m dreaming.
“Let’s go buy a cell phone right away.”
“Washing the dishes?”
“Go and come back and I will do it.”
“Postponing again.”
“It’s not about procrastinating, it’s about taking care of urgent tasks first.”
“You speak very well.”
I went outside with Yu-chan and headed to a cell phone store.
Show the current status of your cell phone and tell the employee that you will be changing your cell phone.
“Ah, then I like this model. There is a sale going on now and various events… ”
He started explaining something at great length.
I don’t know the details, but I was about to accept the offer because I thought I would benefit from buying this phone.
“I’ll take this.”
Yuchan chose a completely different model than the one the employee chose.
“Customer, there is no sale or event for this model right now… ”
“It’s okay. I’ll take this.”
Despite the employee’s words, Yoo-chan did not break his stubbornness and picked up the cell phone he first chose.
I don’t know why, but I agreed with Yu-chan’s opinion because I thought he wouldn’t choose something that would harm me.
So I changed my cell phone.
It is clearly said to be a recently released model, but to me, who went back 14 years, it still seemed like a relic of an old era.
“Yuchan, why didn’t you choose the one the employee just recommended?”
“That model is not popular because it has its own defects. In less than a year, the battery wears out quickly and there are problems with the screen.”
“Oh, really? How did you know?”
“I know a lot about cell phones and computers. The employee was trying to sell it to you because it was a model that wasn’t for sale.”
“So, I almost got treated like a bigot?!”
“This is why I couldn’t send my phone to change by myself. I’m afraid I’ll just listen and live with my ears fluttering.”
I thought I would be fine because even though I have a 20-year-old body, my brain is a 34-year-old, but that was just my illusion.
After all, the world is a scary place.
“Thank you, Yuchan.”
“It really feels like seeing a baby duck released into a river somewhere. What should I do because I’m anxious?”
“Well, it’s not that bad?!”
I walked with Yuchan and talked about many things.
Unlike before, we were able to laugh non-stop through such conversations and empathize with each other’s words.
Even if you have reconciled, you may think that you just have to stop doing things that are uncomfortable for each other.
But I want to build a better relationship with Yuchan.
perhaps…
There may still be some lingering feelings between the couple from the past when their relationship was not good.
