<Episode 50> Homecoming

Early moning. I put my laptop in my bag and was getting ready to change into my outdoor clothes, when my mom came to my room.

“Oh. want to go?”

“I have work to do.”

It has been 7 days since I returned home. The time of the week that each of us was supposed to go home to, ended with today.

If I had to ask, I would be able to stay at home until today. For me, I wanted to go back early.

because.

“Fufufu. right. I need to meet my girlfriend.”

“… … .”

why did you hear it

Even if you admit that it’s true, even if you get away with it because it’s a lie, you’re sure to get teased. I decided to keep my mouth shut.

Since the first day, I have been on the phone with Si-eun every night. Even if we meet, there will be nothing special to talk about. Here, too, the meal is good, and there is no need to worry about laundry or cleaning.

Still, the reason I want to go back early is because I want to see Si-eun as soon as possible. That was the only reason.

I am unfamiliar with talking to others. It was even worse for Si-eun. So I tried to pretend that I had something to do, but somehow my mother seemed to notice.

Without answering, I picked up the bag, and my mother took her wallet out of her clothes pocket. Then he takes out a few bills and puts them out.

“Come on, pocket money.”

“it’s okay. That’s a lot of money.”

Even if I shook my head to answer, my mother handed me the money. After several bills passed, I finally returned the money.

“Eat something delicious.”

Averting her eyes, she smiled kindly as she spoke.

“Our Hwimin is all grown up.”

“Absolutely. The growth plates must have been closed.”

“Not that. I mean, my heart has grown up.”

Then my mom patted my ass. Why do you think you have grown up and treat you like a child?

“Up until the beginning of this year, I thought I was still a teenager. I’m glad I’m a mature adult now.”

“Ugh.”

I became a mature adult. Mom said so.

Presumably, there was only one cause. Since the beginning of this year and now, nothing has changed around me other than that.

I was just talking about what I thought of.

“It must be because there is someone precious.”

My mother listened to me and looked at me quietly for a while.

“Oh, my, my, my, my, my.”

With a smile on his face, he began to shoot haggard eyes.

really just said How long has it been since you decided to keep your mouth shut? I think I’m crazy for a moment regret was overwhelming.

Mom said with a big smile.

“I’ll bring my girlfriend later. I wonder what kind of child he is.”

“Let me tell you first. I don’t know if it will come or not.”

“Oh, and.”

The mother, who clapped her hands as if thinking of something, added a word.

“Now that you are an adult, you should consider getting married.”

I scratched the back of the head as I saw my mother smiling brightly.

“… … I’ll just think about it.”

The way back was pretty complicated. You have to take the subway, take the express bus, and then take the subway again.

I woke up early and didn’t even eat breakfast. My body was exhausted from transferring and changing modes of transportation. I wanted to go home and take a nap.

Will Si-eun come home?

The deadline to go home is until tomorrow. If you think about it in common sense, it should have been seen that there was no such thing.

Then when you go home, you won’t have anything to eat. Should I go after dinner? But I don’t like it because I’m sleepy and annoyed again. I’m hungry though.

After continuing these useless worries, I finally decided to go straight home.

Get off at the station near the school and walk.

Near the station, people who looked like our schoolchildren were walking down the street. When I saw that scene, I really felt like I was back in my own room.

No, it’s not my own room, it’s the house I live with Si-eun.

About 15 minutes of trudging feet. We finally arrived at the front of the house.

I went to my hometown and came back to my own place. On the contrary, it feels like returning from a foreign land. It must have been that he had become accustomed to life with Si-eun here.

I wanted to go in and go to sleep. I quickly pressed the door lock code and opened the door.

But somehow, the living room light was on.

“yes?”

Unbeknownst to me, such a sound came out.

Obviously I didn’t leave later than Si-eun.

That meant I was the last person to come out of the house.

Why the hell is the light on?

I don’t care about electricity bills, but I don’t go out for a long time with the lights on. Before leaving the house, I tend to check the switches.

It’s weird. Were you thinking of something else when you came out? Or maybe the forgetfulness got worse? Full of doubts, I opened the door to my room.

And in my room.

Si-eun was lying on my bed, trying to sleep.

Covering my quilt holding my pillow

I’m not cutting the pillow, I’m holding it. Thanks to that, his head was lying on the bed. It looks like my neck hurts, but why am I sleeping like this?

Why are you sleeping in my bed before then?

No, why are you already here in the first place?

It was a look that aroused curiosity in several ways. Since this happened, I had no choice but to wake up and ask myself.

Silences the sound of footsteps, approaches cautiously and squats by the bedside.

Long black hair scattered across the bed. Closed eyes are covered with long eyelashes. Her slightly parted lips were pink.

The sound of his pounding breath and the occasional frown of his eyes made me want to watch him for a longer time.

I try to tap on the bedside.

“wake up.”

“Yes.”

Even after hearing the voice, Si-eun only tossed and turned for a moment, but did not get up. Are you tired? If that’s the case, I’d like to sleep on a proper pillow even more.

“Wake up for a second.”

He tapped the bed again.

“Yes.”

This time it worked. Si-eun tossed and turned more violently than before.

But for a while. Si-eun’s movements soon faded. There was still no sign of it happening.

Can not help it. It seemed that more direct stimulation was needed to wake Si-eun from such a hard sleep.

I grab Si-eun’s arm and shake it slightly.

“Wake up. I’m here.”

“Um, umm.”

This attack worked well.

Si-eun frowned for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes. If he moved his body directly, there would be no way he could continue to sleep.

Si-eun’s slightly opened eyes turned towards me.

But Si-eun remained silent and only looked at me. Is your brain still asleep? There are no words of welcome or a tick-tick-tick, just staring at you.

Then Si-eun smiled bashfully.

“I’m here?”

“yes. I’m here.”

When I answered, Si-eun smiled brightly.

“… … I miss you.”

“… … uh?”

There was no doubt in seeing the service until such an end. Si-eun is now less awake.

But my heart was happy. To Si-eun, who had confessed her true feelings with much effort, she responded with a smile.

“I wanted to see you too.”

At those words, Si-eun’s eyes suddenly opened.

Si-eun, who was wriggling in surprise for a moment, got up and looked around for a moment.

“I’m here?”

He said this calmly.

“That doesn’t mean it’s something you haven’t done before.”

At my point, Si-eun tilted her head, pretending not to know.

“What are you talking about? I don’t know.”

“When you say ‘I miss you’ with a smile on your face, it means that you will never forget it.”

“Forget it quickly.”

In response to a difficult request, he returned only a bitter smile.

The important thing wasn’t this. Aside from Si-eun’s sleep talk, isn’t there something I should ask? That’s why I called Si-eun from dreamland.

“Why are you sleeping here?”

When asked with suspicion, Si-eun responded as if tossing.

“Well, somehow.”

“How come?”

I don’t know what maybe I’m sleeping in my room.

Although the question was not resolved at all, Si-eun got out of bed and stood up.

“Did you eat?”

“No, I haven’t even eaten breakfast.”

“Okay. I’ll set it up right away. For brunch menu.”

Si-eun, who was about to leave the room with those words, was barely stopped by her quick movements.

Si-eun raised an eyebrow and asked.

“what’s the matter?”

“No, so why did you sleep in my room?”

“Somehow, you said.”

“Then how can I sleep in your room?”

“Do what you want.”

well I think I’ll get scolded if I believe what you say and do what I want… … .

It seemed that he had no intention of answering this question directly. I decided to ask another question.

“Even so. Why are you here already? I thought you would come tomorrow.”

As I put another thing I was curious about, Si-eun began to stare at me quietly.

Why are you doing this? I was taken aback by the unexpected behavior, but I turned my gaze back to it.

After a period of time that seemed like a snowball fight, Si-eun tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“Then that’s it.”

“yes.”

“Why are you here already?”

“… … uh?”

I couldn’t hide my dismay at the sudden surprise.

It was. Doesn’t it mean that I also came back a day earlier than the scheduled return date? The question I posed to Si-eun could come back to me as well.

Si-eun smiled triumphantly at me, who was only muttering.

“Did you come early because you wanted to see me?”

“Uh, uhm.”

“Looks right.”

I didn’t think it was right

Soon, Si-eun raised her chin and looked down.

“what. Did I miss you like that?”

“… … .”

no words come out

I could honestly admit it. If it were my original personality, it would have been. The words that had been conveyed so easily over the phone did not come out of their mouths when they met face to face.

Si-eun, who was watching the reaction, put her hands on her waist and raised the corners of her lips. I even feel like I’m saying it’s plastic.

If this is the case, then this is the judge’s board.

“Then that’s it.”

I decided to throw an idea that came to my mind.

“Did you come early to see me?”

“What?”

Si-eun blinked in surprise and asked.

It was a reasonable guess. Like me, Si-eun also came a day early. What Si-eun said to me, it was natural that it also applied to Si-eun.

He looked directly at Si-eun and continued talking.

“You asked. Did you come early to see me? Then, on the other hand, wouldn’t it be correct to assume that that’s why you came so early?”

Si-eun did not respond to my rebuttal.

where is that by the same logic.

“Sleep in my room, well, if I meant to lie in my bed because I wanted to see you. That’s roughly right.”

He added this in a half-joking tone.

Hopefully it is There was no way Si-eun would do such an absurd thing. In order to escape from Si-eun’s teasing, there was a side that was somewhat overdone.

do you think so

Si-eun bit her lip and dyed her face bright red.

“… … uh?”

Si-eun shook her head as she was rather embarrassed by the strange reaction.

“Noisy.”

Then he turns around and walks past me. The pouty face looked like it was a little pouty.

Maybe really?

I asked Si-eun while maintaining a smile.

“Where?”

“To make lunch.”

It’s a blunt voice It also seemed to be right.

“okay. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten your food. I will be looking forward to it.”

When I said with a smile, Si-eun looked at me with a disgusted face.

After a while, Si-eun blew out a sound as if to listen to me.

“… … I tried to make it delicious even if I didn’t say anything.”

“okay?”

“okay. So stay away.”

“Okay.”

As soon as I moved my body slightly, Si-eun left the room.

A bang echoed through the room. Then there was a loud sigh outside the door. Then came the sound of opening and closing the refrigerator or turning on the gas light.

I was left alone in the room and burst out with a small smile.

Now I really feel like I’m back home. As soon as I came back, I didn’t know that we’d get into a fight, but… … Well, our relationship wasn’t like this. Giving one shot to Si-eun, who always shoots, was also an achievement in its own right.

Now, a pleasant life with Si-eun will begin again.

With such anticipation, I unpacked my luggage.
