Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

19 – A story only one person doesn’t know

Chook.

An exclamation full of satisfaction flows out of Han Yuna’s mouth, saying, “Pu-ha.”

While we were about to go straight home after school, Yuna Han suddenly caught us at a cafe specializing in take-out.

The one in my hand is an iced latte, the one in Han Yuna’s hand…. What did you say Anyway, with a piece of cheesecake on top, it’s a drink that looks just like women. The contents are made of strawberry base, so the pink color is not very appetizing.

Hanyu, who was sucking and drinking it, made an expression as if she had the whole world. Seeing me not even touching her straw, I motioned for her to drink. As she quietly lifted her plastic cup to show her willingness to drink slowly, she turned her attention away and focused again on the drink she was drinking.

The way he pushes her cheeks into her mouth makes him look like a giant squirrel. Then, are those giant acorns inside?

“… Is it delicious?”

“Yes, absolutely. There was a new menu, so I wanted to try it, but I couldn’t because it was being managed.”

At least, it was strange that they were so happy with just one drink, and somehow it was pathetic, so when I asked a question, an exasperated voice came out.

Being an idol trainee is really hard, but what the hell is that guy’s management? It’s even pitiful to watch a guy who doesn’t seem to have any place to lose weight just drool while having his favorite ice cream or food in front of him.

I would never do it even if someone paid me to do something like an idol, tsk.

As I tried to soothe my bitter taste with a sweet latte with syrup, Hanyu turned her head toward me, her eyes shining as if she had forgotten something.

“Oh, by the way, mom says she’s going to go to the countryside after the exams, are you going too?”

“The countryside, where?”

“This is my grandmother.”

Ah, I remember. Twice, though only when I was very young, I had been to Hanyu Nane’s country house where her grandmother lived.

I don’t even remember why I went, but it’s probably because my parents were busy when I was on vacation, so I guess I got stuck in the car of Han Yuna’s house, who was going to the countryside at that time.

By the way, do you want me to go there too? They say it’s no problem, but is there any reason to do that? It would be uncomfortable if I, as an outsider, attended the gathering of Han Yuna’s family.

“I’m fine, but won’t your family be uncomfortable?”

“Huh? It won’t matter. Grandma said she wanted to see you in the first place?”

“… Grandma?”

I almost spit out the latte in her mouth at the sound of something like that.

When was the last time I went to Han Yuna’s grandmother’s house? It’s been quite a while from memory. Was it 3rd grade or 4th grade? If I add a bit of exaggeration, it means that it has been about 10 years. But did you remember that?

“My mom called me yesterday. She asked why the girl who came with Yuna a few times didn’t come, she said that she was cute because she ate well and greeted her well, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t see her. If she’s still close with her, ask her to come over.”

“Uh, um….”

I am very embarrassed. Was I that kind of a person at that time? I’m good at saying hello to grown-ups, but I’m not sure I was a good enough kid for her grandmother to remember.

Anyway, it’s not polite to refuse to remember her granddaughter’s friend whom she saw a long time ago and visit her. After the exams are over anyway, there’s nothing else to do besides work, so it’s worth going. Since you have money, it would be perfect to buy a cool watermelon and visit it.

“When are you going?”

“On the weekend between our school anniversary after exams.”

“Not bad.”

According to my memory, this year’s school anniversary is on a Monday, so when combined with the weekend, we are given exactly three days off. Then, whether you leave late after school on Friday or early on Saturday morning, you will have plenty of time.

After organizing the schedule in her head, Yuna Han’s expression brightened as she lightly nodded her head.

“Yes, go. I have nothing to do anyway.”

“Really? Tell her grandma?”

“Do you think I am you? Two words with one mouth. Tell me, I’ll see you then.”

“Okay.”

Hanyu I immediately took out her phone and sent her a message somewhere. Maybe she’s an uncle or an aunt, or one of the two. It was clear that she wanted to brag about her criminal record for getting consent from me.

Tong.

She slipped a plastic cup that had been emptied before she knew it into a trash can on her street. I went ahead of me with her brisk steps. Until just now, she was the face of her who had even paid for a portrait because of her midterm exams.

“Ah, Han Yuna.”

“Why?”

While staring at the back of her, she realized that there was something she hadn’t been able to say to Hanyu me, so she called him. It was only then that the gaze of the prancing guy who had picked out her gray sidewalk block and turned to me.

“Just like last time, if Eugene says he will come, bring him. It’s probably during exam period too.”

Originally, I only helped Yuna Han with her studies, but after her younger sister Yujin Han also came up to high school, I sometimes help her. During last year’s final exam, that is, during Han Yu-jin’s first year of high school, there was a time when we both studied at my house on the weekend while eating.

That’s why she said this again with the idea of bringing her if you need help, but somehow Hanyuna’s complexion didn’t look good when she heard that. It is said that she feels a sense of trembling.

“Ah…. Han Yujin? He’ll probably be fine She sometimes goes to the reading room with her friends, and she does it on her own, right?”

“You idiot. By any chance, if he speaks up, is it to bring him in?

“Who are you calling an idiot? Heh, okay If you ask, I will take you.”

Last year, when she offered to teach with Han Yu-jin, she was quite happy about it, but this year her reaction is rather weak. You can tell by the way her lips protrude in front of the bridge of her nose.

But I don’t know why. Did you have a fight with Yujin Han on the weekend?

***

Ppiririk. Clap.

“Ah, sister!”

As usual, when I opened her door lock and entered the house, Han Yu-jin, who was in her living room, jumped out with a tabi. From this point on, I already realized that my wicked little sister had a request for me.

Han Yu-jin calls her sister. It’s not too strange, but she calls me with a sweet voice dripping with honey. She has always been that way.

“Why is this gross?”

“Ah, her sister could play a little cute with her sister.”

“It’s okay, tell me what’s going on, because I have to go to Park Si-yoon’s house right away.”

When she lightly cuts off her attempt to do something unreasonable and removes her Han Yu-jin, the sound of lightly clicking her tongue is heard. It’s a reaction as if she knew that would happen.

“That…. Is your sister going through exams soon?”

“Yeah, today’s test range came out.”

Arriving at her room, I threw away her bag and changed her clothes.

“Can you tell your brother to help me this time again? Of course, my sister too!”

“… To Park Si-yoon?”

“Yes! I learned it from my older brother last year, so it was really easy to understand. Thanks to that, my grades at the end of the semester went up a bit, don’t you remember unnie?”

Of course I remember. I can still see Han Yujin running around the living room with her report card back then.

He also looks like me, so he doesn’t have much of a study head, so after entering high school, he played in the middle or lower ranks, but after receiving continuous instruction from Park Si-yoon last year, I know that he has risen to the middle rank. Thanks to that, it looks like I added some fun to my studies.

Yeah, that’s a good thing. Coincidentally, Park Si-yoon also said to bring Han Yu-jin if he wanted to learn, so I should be able to take him. What are you up to, stupid.

“Yeah, but it’s over….”

As her older sister, she thought that she should help her younger brother to improve her grades, and it was at this moment that she tried to take out what she had just heard from Si-yoon Park.

“Ah! Of course not naked? Oppa, since he said his solo life is lonely, tell him I’ll make you a woman. Among my friends, there are quite a few single guys who are good looking, hee hee.”

“… ….”

I grabbed the T-shirt I was about to change into with the momentum of tearing at the condition that Han Yu-jin brought out in return for her kindness to Park Si-yoon.

No, Han Yuna. Calm down. There’s no way there would be a girl who would say she wants to be introduced to Park Si-yoon in the first place, and even if that happens, what does it have to do with me? Rather, it’s a good thing, you might not see Park Si-yoon, who was always talking about being a solo.

Having made up my mind like that, I quickly changed into a T-shirt and opened my mouth to Han Yujin.

***

Is this enough for a desk?

Last year, the sitting desk I used to teach Han Yuna was broken, so I hurriedly brought in something that was stuck in the corner of the warehouse, but it feels a bit small. Considering that Han Yu-jin will come, where should she get one?

Beep. Beep. Beep.

As I looked down at my desk and pondered for a moment, I heard someone pressing the door lock password. My parents said they’d be back tomorrow, so there’s probably only one person who can come find me in this situation.

“Oh, are you here?”

“Ugh, yes.”

Putting aside my worries about the desk for a while, I opened the door and went out to greet Han Yuna. But for some reason Hanyu responds. My gaze is not directed at me, and she hovers here and there. It looks like a bee stinging around a beehive.

At the moment I wondered why he was doing that, I realized that the companion I thought would come with me was gone and asked where he was.

“What about Eugene?”

Since you saw an improvement in grades last year, you thought it would come again this year, but was it worse than you thought?

Han Yuna looks at me as if asking for an explanation from her, wondering if she didn’t deliver it. Only then did the guy shake her shoulders and explain everything in an urgent tone like a defendant whose crimes were pointed out to her.

“Oh, he said he had a good idea and will try it by himself this time. Besides, their school has some time left until the exam period, right?”

“Really? It was similar last year.”

She tilted her head, thinking it was a big deal, but since there was no reason for Han Yuna to lie about this, she quickly extinguished the embers of her doubts and guided her inside.

By the way, Han Yu-jin is a mess. It’s cool to try to get through it alone. It’s so commendable, next time we meet, we should buy banana milk.
