by fnovelpiaI bought ramen and bean sprouts from a nearby convenience store and made hangover ramen.
To be honest, I want to eat a sea-related breakfast since I came to see the sea, but the corpse over there doesn’t seem to be in a good condition for that.
“Yoochan, I boiled everything. Come and eat.”
“Yes, it’s hangover ramen. wait for a sec… ”
Yuchan was about to sit down at the table, but quickly turned around and entered the kitchen.
Then I took a closer look at the pot of ramen I had cooked.
“What is it? Why is it not the Han River or a mud flat?”
“I told you. Let’s boil it well now.”
“Last time it was the Han River.”
“If you say one more word, I will use your hand as a pot holder.”
“Haha. Are you kidding?”
“Haha. Do you think it’s a joke?”
“Sorry. I’ll just shut up.”
If you were to ask whether it was a joke or serious, it would be about 7:3. It is a secret which one has the ratio of 7.
Yu-chan sat at the table and ate the ramen I cooked without stopping, and let out a loud noise that made his stomach feel relieved.
“Ugh!! I will live. It was boiled well.”
“So, why did you drink so much? Drink in moderation.”
“Alcohol is a waste. I bought it at best.”
“Even after drinking that much, there were still two bottles of soju and one bottle of beer left?”
“That is… ”
“Let’s drink tonight.”
“Have you ever killed someone? Just looking at alcohol makes me feel sick.”
Yu-chan reacted as if he couldn’t drink anymore, but who knows? I am fine.
Yu-chan’s pain has always been my happiness, so I plan to have a drinking party tonight as well.
After finishing breakfast for hangovers, Yu-chan sat on the sofa and stared at his cell phone.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Huh? This.”
This time, Yuchan was watching a girl group dance video on his cell phone.
I don’t understand why I went on such a special trip to watch that video.
I wonder if admiring the scenery outside the window or talking to me about what I want to do today is a one-sided situation.
Even though I glared at him, Yuchan didn’t notice at all and just watched YouTube.
I was getting irritated by my behavior that didn’t change.
-puck!!
“Ahh!! What is it?!”
I threw the sofa cushion next to Yuchan’s face.
“Is it good to come here and watch girl group videos?”
“I’m just going to take a break after breakfast.”
“Yes, please take a look. Because I’m going to go to the beach alone and play.”
“… Shall we go together?”
“It’s already too late.”
“Let’s go together. I also wanted to go to the beach and play.”
Yuchan quickly put down his phone and held my hand to prevent me from getting up.
It was so dull that I thought I had lost my senses for such a long time, but I guess something had changed from before.
“I have to bury it today too.”
“I tried it yesterday and enjoyed it. It’s a big deal.”
“Questioning people was more fun than I thought.”
When I finally finished digesting my food, I changed into a swimsuit and stepped onto the sandy beach once again.
I did this yesterday too, but the rustling sound of the sand being stepped on by my feet sounds like a really nice harmony.
“I should take off my slippers and walk.”
“Then you could get stuck in something like a stone and get hurt.”
“I’ll walk a little bit. I want to feel the softness properly.”
“I am not responsible if you get hurt.”
“It doesn’t hurt. Don’t worry.”
I took off the slippers I was wearing, held them in my hand, and walked barefoot on the sandy beach.
The soft texture definitely feels more vivid than when wearing slippers.
I wanted to feel this texture more, so I wiggled my toes and enjoyed the soft feel of the sand.
“Hehehe… ”
“Wow, I feel really stupid right now.”
“You’re so stupid!! You try it too. This sound comes out naturally.”
“I’ve already done it a lot so I’m not impressed.”
“I hope you enjoy going to the sea a lot. Except me.”
“If you say it like that, I get quite embarrassed.”
Yuchan naturally held my arm and walked along the sandy beach at the same pace as me.
I think they’re probably doing this to prevent falls, but I’m worried that’s too much.
I’m not even running around, I’m just walking slowly.
Still, something felt warm from deep inside my heart, and I smiled without even realizing it.
“I think I know why children like sandy beaches.”
“Because you are a child now.”
“Sure, Mr.!!”
“Ugh, put that down. Even hitting someone with a slipper is a special assault.”
“It means it’s good. I’m always thinking about something else.”
“Of course I know. I just thought your reaction would be fun so I made fun of you.”
If you don’t make fun of people even for a day, is it like you’re contracting a disease that will kill you?
Well, I’m doing the same thing, so I have no right to complain.
Yu-chan, who seemed like he would never do the same thing as me, took off the slippers he was wearing and walked on the sandy beach barefoot.
I also know how to suit the atmosphere.
It was clear that there was a change in the details.
“Hmm, that’s good.”
“Right? They say this is why I do it.”
“I remember when I was young. At that time, I was running around excitedly holding my dad’s hand.”
“It must have been cute.”
“I’m kind of cute.”
“Can’t I give a genuine compliment? Why is this like this?”
“Praise actually makes even whales dance.”
“You are not a whale… Ah!!”
While walking along the sandy beach while talking to Yu-chan, I stopped because of the tingling sensation I felt for a moment.
I checked the soles of my feet just in case, and there was a small stone stuck in them.
“I knew it would be like this. This is why I tell you not to take off your slippers.”
“Ah, Mr. Why do I get hurt when you don’t get hurt?”
“Let’s go over there for a moment.”
I sat down on a place that resembled stone steps, supported by Yu-chan.
It makes me wonder how I could be so unlucky.
“Sit down for a moment. I’ll go to the convenience store.”
“Why convenience stores?”
“I have to deal with this. Just wait.”
Yuchan left for a moment.
I don’t know why, but the sight of me walking to the convenience store looked particularly reassuring today.
The back view seems to make me want to lean on it even for a moment without realizing it.
When I think about it, even when we were a couple that didn’t get along well, Yu-chan never once let go of his worries about me.
He was busy taking care of me, from always pointing out the hand habits that developed when my index finger was fractured, and even taking annual leave when my menstrual cramps were severe.
However, I completely forgot about Yu-chan’s interest and concerns and only pointed out the uncomfortable points that I could see, making him uncomfortable.
I always thought that Yu-chan was the only one to blame, but in fact, I think I was more guilty than Yu-chan.
“You came?”
“Give me your foot.”
Yuchan immediately removed the stone fragment from my foot and disinfected it with drinking water. Then they wrapped it with a bandage and completely stopped the bleeding.
“It doesn’t hurt, right?”
“Yes, it doesn’t hurt.”
“Thank goodness. It wasn’t deeply embedded.”
“They say they are not responsible even if you get hurt.”
“You got hurt, there’s no way you could really do that.”
As those words reached my ears, an unfamiliar sensation as if time around me stopped momentarily took hold of my entire body.
Yu-chan has never said anything like this to me.
Even if you were injured, they just said bluntly and took care of you.
As it was my first time, Yu-chan’s voice sounded like a stranger’s voice and I felt a great sense of disconnect.
My calm hands moved instinctively.
-Pat, pat!!
I stroked Yuchan’s head as he was checking the condition of my feet.
“What are you doing?”
“A pat to express gratitude.”
“Am I a puppy?”
“Thank you, Yuchan.”
After finishing all the treatments, Yu-chan sat next to me for a while and looked at the sea I was looking at together.
Just by sitting still, the smell of the sea and the sound of the waves made people feel good.
“Did you have a good time on the sea trip?”
“Yes, good job. Good.”
“What’s with me?”
“Well, that’s good too.”
“I don’t think it’s a lie.”
“Why would you lie like that? Just tell it like it is.”
I stared at Yuchan’s profile looking at the sea.
It certainly is a handsome face when viewed objectively.
She also has a body that matches that face.
The moment I realized that the reason I liked Yuchan was because of his face also played a role.
Yuchan suddenly started looking around. Then, I grabbed both sides of the cardigan I was wearing and pulled it so that my bikini was not visible.
“What are you doing?”
“The day is cold. If you open your mouth like that, you’ll catch a cold.”
“It’s summer.”
“Summer colds are actually scarier.”
Although he was casually stating the reason for his actions, I was able to see the true reason through Yuchan looking around.
“Pfft.”
“Why are you smiling?”
“There is such a thing. Yuchan, I’m bored.”
“What are you going to do with that leg? Just sit and watch the sea.”
“Carry me on your back.”
“… Have you suffered from infantile regression? Why is this happening all of a sudden?”
“This bastard?! You, come to work!!”
“Yeah, one of your legs is injured so you can’t chase after me properly, right?”
Hmm, maybe I should think again.
I don’t have the confidence to handle that gold piece.
