episode_0162

The extremely boring long-distance drive, which lasted a total of four hours, including the 30 minutes it took to stop at the rest room, go to the bathroom, and fill my empty stomach with snacks, finally came to an end.

“Wow… !”

Jeonghee’s expression as she looks at the pure white snow field spread out in front of her couldn’t be brighter.

Is it only natural that I arrived at the ski resort I wanted to visit so much?

“Haaam-”

Shin Yu-jeong, who woke up after another nap in the lounge with a full stomach, stretched out late and smiled, looking very happy.

Before they came, they said it would have been better if the two of them had come, that it would save time for training, and that they only chose horses with fire attribute enchantments, but now that they actually came, it seems like it was good in its own way.

“Guys! Let’s go quickly, quickly!”

Jeong-hee walks ahead as if there is no time to waste time like this.

Then he stops, smiles awkwardly, and asks.

“But what should I do first?”

“First, you have to check in and unpack your luggage.”

“Oh yeah!”

We pack our luggage in the trunk and head to the hotel inside the ski resort.

The name of the hotel is ‘Snow Royal Hotel’.

Some people may have noticed it at first glance, but it is one of the many branches of the Grand Royal Hotel.

Manager Kim Seong-tae has a close relationship with the owner of the ski resort, and the owner contacted the hotel manager separately to reserve a room for him.

“I made a reservation under the name Kim Do-jin.”

As soon as we gave our names, hotel staff nearby came over and took our luggage.

“I was waiting for you, Mr. Dojin Kim. “I will show you to your room.”

“Ah yes… .”

I follow them, confused by the excessive kindness I have received for the first time in my life.

They guided us to three single rooms on the 20th floor.

This was also an issue I earnestly requested through Director Kim Seong-tae.

Why?

If you take a three-person room, it’s obvious that you won’t be able to do anything, and if you take one double room and one single room, one of you might get caught sneaking out.

On the other hand, what if each room is single?

The risk, whether I’m going there or coming from the other side, is bound to be greatly reduced.

“The room is really nice… .”

I put down my luggage in a corner and looked around, and the room was bigger than I thought.

The bed is large enough for two people to lie down on, and the view of the clear sky and pure white snow beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass that replaces one wall.

I also like the ambiguously sized bathtub, which makes it seem like two people would have to be in close contact with each other.

After sweating profusely, we jump in there and press our bodies against each other… .

Knock knock!

While I was lost in a strange delusion, someone knocked on the door from outside.

“hey! “Mom told me to come out quickly.”

“okay.”

Now that I think about it, Jeonghee was really excited at the thought of skiing.

I simply took my smartphone and wallet, went outside, and headed to a ski equipment rental store with two people.

Before coming here, I debated for a while about whether I should buy or rent, but decided on renting.

This was the result of the acceptance of Jeong-hee’s opinion, which strongly argued that it was a waste to buy it when you may or may not come again because you have never ridden it yet.

“Hey, what are you going to ride?”

“well… , what are you going to ride?”

“I’m a board.”

“hmm.”

After changing into ski clothes that were the right size for my body, I thought about it for a while.

Should I ski or board?

For reference, the riding skills of both are similar.

I can barely get down to the beginner course.

I made my decision after seeing Yujeong renting a board and Jeonghee renting skis.

“Give me skis.”

It looks like Yoo-jeong already knows how to ride a board skillfully, so Jeong-hee should teach her little by little.

“… “Go skiing?”

“Well, since it’s your first time, I’d like to teach you.”

When I picked out my skis and came out, he pouted his lips for no reason.

I do that because I hate not being able to ride with me.

“Do, Dojin… , How do you do this?”

I was trying to comfort him a little, but Jeonghee, who was sitting down in the snow and groaning, called me.

In the end, after patting Yujeong on the shoulder a few times, I went straight to help Jeonghee put on her equipment, and then led her awkwardly onto the lift.

As the lift goes higher, Jeonghee, who was sitting next to me, quietly hugs my arm.

“Joe, it’s a little scary… .”

“Do you have a fear of heights?”

“huh… , Not too bad, a little bit?”

A smile is drawn at the unexpected appearance of her, who always acts like a straightforward and fearless person.

but.

Why is there nothing scary about Jeonghee?

Since I sent my uncle away and lived as the head of the household, I guess I just acted as if there was nothing to fear.

What is a head of a household?

Taking her with me, I finally reached the top of the beginner’s course.

“I’m going to teach you how to ski now, so please follow along.”

“Ho Ho! “I understand, teacher.”

“oh… .”

The word ‘teacher’ suddenly uttered by Jeonghee makes my heart flutter.

An overwhelming feeling that is difficult to express in words.

Suddenly, inspiration surges.

It would be nice to try cosplaying as a teacher, nurse, etc. in the future… ?

Meanwhile, Yujeong, wearing goggles and getting ready to go down, suddenly comes between us.

“Then am I going down first?”

“Yes, Mom, I’ll follow you soon!”

A boy walking down the snowy road, laughing at his mother’s excessive enthusiasm.

As I watched that scene blankly, I blurted out a word without realizing it.

“So fucking cool… .”

Even though she is wearing a ski suit that hides her body and even goggles, she looks cool.

The attitude and speed of going through the snow are definitely not at a level suitable for riding on a beginner course… ?

“Dojin! “What should I do now?”

“Ah, for now… .”

I suddenly came to my senses and started teaching Jeonghee the basics of skiing.

Starting with how to fall safely, which is the national rule of ski education, to how to gather your skis in an A shape and then slowly glide down.

I skied at a leisurely pace a few times with her, who was now able to get down to the end of the beginner’s course on my own without being by my side.

I came back up with Jeonghee, who was extremely happy, and as I was about to come down, I remembered something I had forgotten.

I think I haven’t seen Yujeong since a while ago… , Did you go somewhere else?

“Dojin, let’s go down quickly!”

“Yes, let’s go.”

I soon gave up my thoughts.

Looking at my skills earlier, I was clearly not good enough to ride on a beginner’s course.

You’re probably riding smoothly on the intermediate or advanced course by now.

With that thought in mind, I glide down again.

But why does the back of my head hurt so much… .

* * *

It’s really strange when you fall asleep in the car.

I feel like I’m in a good, deep sleep, but I can clearly hear people talking around me.

Shin Yu-jeong, who was laughing excitedly in the backseat, was like that.

As I listened to the conversation between the two people talking excitedly about what was so fun, I kept getting a strange feeling.

“I’m trying to do all the things I wanted to do when I was younger, but couldn’t do them in the past.”

“… “Are you going to join us?”

“Hehe, of course.”

A conversation with a strange nuance.

These were not words that should not be said.

My mother suddenly became younger and regained her vitality, and there were many things she wanted to do.

Also, Kim Do-jin is almost like a child to me, so I wonder if it would be a big deal to spend time together or have hobbies together when we go on trips together… .

‘It keeps getting on my nerves… .’

I keep feeling anxious.

It was also because Seo Jeong-hee had become much younger.

In the past, I didn’t think much of it when I saw them together, but now that they are together, they just look like an older and younger couple with a slight age difference.

So, when I see two people being friendly, I must say that I feel like I am watching my man help another woman remove perilla leaves.

That means I don’t like it that much.

“Whoa… .”

Even after arriving at the ski resort, I feel regret every time I see the two of them close together just because I am teaching them how to ski.

‘… Fuck it, I should just rent skis.’

If I had rented skis instead of a board and taught myself, I wouldn’t have had to see things like that.

Shin Yoo-jeong, who didn’t want to see them, deliberately headed to the advanced course, glided down at a very fast speed, took off his goggles with an irritated hand gesture, and sighed.

“Oh, really, why are you like this… .”

I thought that riding down in the cold wind would ease my stomach, but that wasn’t the case.

She found my appearance so funny that I burst out laughing without realizing it.

“Puhaha… .”

A woman who is jealous when she sees her man being nice to her potential mother-in-law, who is like a mother to her.

Isn’t this a story that the world will make fun of forever?

At the same time, it was amazing.

I never thought that I, who had never had this much interest in men, would change like this.

No, actually, I still have no interest in men even now.

The only person her interest is focused on is Kim Do-jin.

“It’s not fun.”

Suddenly everything became less fun.

Would it have been fun to ride with Kim Do-jin?

I think it was probably like that.

She sat down, took off the board, and smiled softly.

“Should we ask the two of us to go on a trip later… ?”

He’s a guy who reveals more than you think, so I think he’ll go along with it if I tell him that I’ve prepared an event for the night.

As she was about to get up, someone suddenly held out a hand.

A rough man’s hand.

I raised my head with a bright expression, wondering if it was Kim Do-jin, but quickly became disappointed.

Because a man I had never seen before was standing there with a smiling face.

“I do not need it.”

She coldly rejected his hand and stood up alone.

Then the man put his hand in with a puzzled expression and blocked her path.

“It looks like you came alone. If it’s okay, would you like to hang out with me? “I’m alone too.”

“… … .”

Shin Yu-jeong looked the man with a confident smile up and down with a calm gaze.

Tall height with a fairly decent face.

He seems to have the qualifications to confidently talk to a woman in a place like this.

Suddenly a thought occurred to me.

If I take this man and go skiing down with him in front of Kim Do-jin… .

‘Make me jealous once… ?’

It’s quite tempting.

But that was all.

“I’m not interested.”

How can you childishly make another man jealous?

Even if it happened naturally, I don’t want to do something like that while taking advantage of others.

Moreover, she knows her subject well.

‘Someone who has tried pushing and pulling is good at it, I’m not.’

Her personality is such that she is very bad at skillfully pushing and pulling the rope between men and women.

After passing the man, Shin Yu-jeong immediately returned the board and headed to the hotel.

The trick is to look for other opportunities rather than riding alone without fun.

Ultimately, great progress between a man and a woman is made at night.

When Kim Do-jin is using up his stamina by skiing, he recovers, and then storms into the room and launches a hand-to-hand attack when he feels the most tired.

“I have to make at least ten shots today, hmm… .”

For the first time, wouldn’t we be able to see Kim Do-jin crying and begging for it to stop?

“I fell behind, Kim Do-jin.”

Ding!

Licking my lips, I got off the elevator, put my card key in my room, and was about to go inside.

Suddenly, she let out a short moan as she felt a stinging pain in the back of her neck.

“ah… !”

I tried to look back to see what was going on, but I couldn’t.

This is because my body became rigid and I could not even move a finger.

That wasn’t the end.

My vision became all mixed up and my mind gradually began to blur.

As I was losing consciousness, a woman’s voice, like swirling frost in the middle of winter, tapped my ears.

“The final preparations are complete. “Just give us the order and we will execute the operation right away.”

After saying words that were difficult to understand, Shin Yu-jeong finally lost consciousness and collapsed.
