by fnovelpiaAfter coming out of the beach, washing up and changing my clothes, I was dragged by Yujin’s hand without any time to rest.
I wish I could rest for just an hour before going to eat grilled clams, but Yujin wouldn’t even allow me that kind of rest.
If you see someone, it’s their first time eating grilled clams…
Is this your first time eating it?
“Wow, it’s hard.”
“How can someone who works out have less stamina than me, who exercises lightly?”
“You are 20 years old. I am 23 years old. Isn’t it obvious?”
“We’re only three years older.”
“Originally, men start to break down the moment they leave the military.”
“What on earth does the military do?”
The military can be defined in just one word.
If it can be removed, it must be removed.
That place is the military.
Even mentally healthy adults become mentally unstable and come out with diseases if they go to the military.
For your information, Hojin suffered for a while due to a ruptured disc in his back after being discharged from the military.
“Oh, don’t talk about it. I’m really sick of hearing about the military from you.”
“You say I said so much.”
“If you are even slightly curious about the military, they talk about the military for 30 minutes.”
“It’s because I went to a tough place. People who have been to easy places can’t even say this.”
“Yes, yes. Stop talking about the military so that the grilled clams taste bad.”
As we talked, grilled clams were brought to the table.
As the clams being grilled on the grill slowly opened their mouths, the sweet scent of butter began to irritate the tip of my nose.
As it was definitely a place, my mouth filled with saliva more than when I ate grilled clams at other places.
“Sounds delicious!! I’ll eat well, Yuchan.”
“Yes, delicious… Wait a minute, it’s like you’re talking as if I’m living it?”
“Wasn’t it?”
“Did you fall into the sea earlier and hurt your head?”
“It’s a joke. Let’s pay half.”
Since it was Eugene’s first time eating it, he put the biggest clam on the plate in front of him.
The sight of them patting the shell without knowing how to eat it looked cuter than I thought, so I smiled without realizing it.
“Now, if you peel it like this, you can eat the flesh right away.”
“Uh, thank you!!”
Yujin’s impressions of eating grilled clams for the first time in her life.
“Mmm!! Chewy!! It’s really delicious!!”
It was a sincere compliment to the grilled clams.
“Is it delicious? I can’t believe I’ve finally tried this. I lost my life.”
“It’s so delicious. It’s my first time eating something this delicious.”
As I watched them eat deliciously, I felt full even without the grilled clams entering my mouth.
After filling up my stomach with some grilled clams for the drinking time that Yujin had mentioned, I returned to the accommodation.
On my way back, I didn’t miss out on soju, beer, and snacks.
“Uh huh… I finally sit down. Oh my, my waist.”
“Senior, are you having a hard time?”
“It is very difficult to match the physical strength of a 20-year-old.”
“Senior, there are still two rounds left. You have to work harder.”
While I was fully leaning back in my chair and relaxing, Yujin started preparing the second round on the table.
They set up two paper cups and spread them out to make it easy to eat snacks, preparing a perfect drinking table.
“Now, let me tell you what I have prepared.”
“How much fun have you prepared?”
“Right… Truth game!!”
“Yes? A game of truth?”
“Yes!! It’s about answering what the other person asks. If you can’t answer, you’re drinking.”
It’s a simpler game than you think. I expected a game that would encourage people to fight each other or make fun of each other in some way.
“It’s simple so it’s okay, right?”
“Yes, it’s okay. You try it first.”
“Have you ever regretted coming to the past?”
regret?
Is there any way to do something like that?
I am living my life thinking of this regression as an opportunity.
As he returned with his memories, he was able to live a different life than before and maintain a different relationship with Eugene than before.
Of course, something happened in the middle and it was complicated, but it helped them understand each other and become closer.
“I have never regretted it.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Thank goodness.”
I wondered what was so lucky about.
Since it is my turn, it is possible to ask the reason for what I just said, but other questions come first.
“Are you more satisfied with your relationship now than when you were a couple?”
“Yes, I’m satisfied.”
I was taken aback by the answer without hesitation.
Is it true that I am having such a satisfying time with myself that I can be sure?
“Are your feelings different when you first go back and see me and when you see me now?”
My will to answer any questions without hesitation immediately faltered as soon as I heard Yujin’s words.
This is because I myself was questioning whether my feelings were different right after the regression and now.
I came on a sea trip with Eugene because I wanted to know that.
Since we haven’t fully figured it out yet, we can’t give a hasty answer.
So I drank a full glass of soju.
“What are you drinking? Do you think your feelings are different between the first time and now?”
“You drank it. You can’t ask any more questions.”
“I understand. Now it’s your turn.”
As I was asked a question that embarrassed me and made me drink, I thought of a question in my head to return the favor.
If it’s a question that Eugene might be embarrassed by.
“Have you ever thought about creating a relationship like before with me?”
Of course, this is a question that cannot be easily answered.
Thinking like that, I was waiting for Yujin’s hand to reach the soju glass.
“Yes, there is.”
I gave an affirmative answer without any hesitation.
I thought I would never be able to come up with a proper answer to this question.
I turned to stone and stared at Yujin, disbelieving my own ears.
There is “?”
“Now is it my turn?”
Because it was such a brief moment, I began to wonder if the desire to embarrass me was what caused the auditory hallucinations.
But to think that way, I can see Yujin’s smile.
It was clearly not an auditory hallucination, but something I heard properly with both ears.
How should I accept this?
***
As the sunlight shining through the curtains hit my eyes, I naturally woke up and opened my eyes.
Perhaps because it had been a while since I had been drinking with Yu-chan, I couldn’t control myself properly and ended up drinking.
Still, I didn’t drink it to the point where the film stopped.
I finished the second round feeling dizzy before my eyes.
“Yoo Chan… Still sleeping.”
When I entered the room to check on Yu-chan’s condition, I found a properly festering corpse.
I felt like the atmosphere was getting looser while playing the truth game, so I just started drinking from then on, and Yu-chan drank a bottle and a half of soju more than I did.
When Yuchan wakes up, we decide to go have breakfast together and sit on the sofa for a while to calm down.
“Have you ever thought about creating a relationship like before with me?”
Memories of last night naturally come to mind.
The positive answer given to that question is never a lie.
While I was spending a lot of time with Yu-chan after my regression, I told him all about my feelings that had changed.
Now that we understand each other’s feelings and thoughts.
I plan to recreate the same relationship I had before with Yuchan.
It is still questionable whether he likes Yu-chan rationally, but he is not a bad person.
He is also the person who knows me better than anyone else except my parents.
“Ugh… Ugh, the head.”
“Are you awake?”
“I woke up first. Isn’t it hard?”
“I drank less than you.”
“As expected, the 3-year age difference is a big one. I’m dying.”
Yu-chan stumbled and sat on the sofa, nodding his head all the time.
If this was going to be the case, I could just keep sleeping in my room, but I don’t know why I came outside.
As I watched Yuchan continue to nod, my hands started moving without me realizing it.
And my hand got closer to Yuchan’s head.
I guided Yu-chan’s head towards my thigh.
“Uh, it suddenly became fluffy.”
“That’s my leg. Stop touching me.”
“… What!?”
“Isn’t the reaction too slow?”
“I was definitely leaning on the sofa earlier.”
“Because it seems difficult to be like a sick chicken. It’s not good for your throat either.”
Yuchan looked up at me and blinked, then put his head on my thigh again with a puzzled expression.
“What do you eat for breakfast?”
“I want to eat hangover ramen. I bought bean sprouts and ramen at the convenience store.”
“Uh, good. Eat ramen… ”
“Let’s go to the beach.”
“Again?! Are you sure you won’t just keep going to see the sea during this trip?”
“That’s right? Since this is my first time here, I should enjoy it to the fullest.”
The times when we were good friends flashed through my mind and I smiled without realizing it.
Although the atmosphere was different now, the emotions I felt were similar to back then.
If Yuchan confesses to me.
You will have to look closely at the situation at that moment to find out.
You won’t hate it.
