chapter 24
24 – The man’s journey
The Saturday morning I promised with Han Yuna was bright, and I woke up earlier than usual and started packing. No, actually, I had packed my luggage since yesterday, but I finished my final check to see if I had missed anything.
Since I had to bring my laptop with me just in case I didn’t know, I packed my luggage in my suitcase, and it looked like I was going on an overseas trip, but I guess I’ll have to endure it.
Let’s see. Wallet, charger, change of clothes, laptop, auxiliary battery…. Alright, I’ve got everything I need. It’s annoying to bring lotion and the like, so let’s just use Hanyu or something. It’s just lotion, it’s not like your skin will die just because you don’t put on something you used to put on.
“Son, have you packed everything? Get ready to go soon You say it leaves at 7?”
“Yes, I packed everything. Do not worry.”
My mom, who woke up earlier than usual after me, opened the door and asked, but by then she was already ready.
Since the road is so busy, we plan to leave almost at dawn. At least I woke up somehow when I heard the sound of the alarm, but I don’t know what the house over there is doing. Han Yuna should get plenty of sleep.
“Don’t bother going to someone else’s house, ask them to drop you off when you arrive nearby, and buy them a present.”
Dad got up before he knew it, and he came over to me, who was zipping up his suitcase, and handed out his card. Perhaps it meant buying a present for Hanyu’s grandmother, so I declined and showed my reliable wallet.
“I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry, are you resting comfortably with the lady?”
“Hmm.”
On the outside, he’s a blunt father, but when you get to know him, he’s quite pathetic. He must have been crying out for joy in his heart at the news that his son, who was an intruder on the long-awaited weekend, had disappeared, and that he could be alone with his wife, whom she loved so much.
When I poked at that point and smiled mischievously, Dad retrieved the card and hurriedly evacuated to the kitchen saying he was thirsty. Oh, you run away from this. Cabi.
“Anyway, I’ll be careful.”
“Okay, call me right away when you arrive. Understand?”
“Yes, yes, anyway, you have a lot of worries.”
She nodded her head appropriately towards her mother, who conveyed her request to the end, and left her front door holding the handle of her suitcase.
Looking at her quiet empty hallway, I wondered if Hanyuna’s house was already gone, but a message from her aunt arrived along with a tok sound, saying, ‘You can come to the underground parking lot.’
You’re already down, too. Then I immediately
Tiriri. Rattle!
“Ah.”
“Hmm?”
It was the moment I was about to press the button on the elevator thinking, “I have to follow you.”
The front door of Hanyu-nana’s house opposite opened noisily, and a straggler appeared with her phone in hand. As if advertising that she had just washed and came out, she was showing off her wet hair and bare face without a single make-up.
Han Yuna’s body, which I met, was as stiff as a stone statue, and 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second.
“Kyaaa!”
The shouting of Han Yuna, who had recently been trained through vocal training, resounded to leave the apartment.
Ah, my ears. I guess I’ll have to stop by the otolaryngologist on the way.
***
After barely getting into the car, we took a busy step toward her destination, the house of Nana Hanyu’s grandmother.
In the back seat, Han Yu-jin, the smallest, sat in the middle, and Han Yuna, who came out on either side, was seated. Whenever I get into Hanyuna’s car or two people get into my house’s car, this structure is always formed.
Tak. Tak.
I pushed my head in front of Han Yu-jin at the busy sound coming from the seat opposite. As it turned out, she was the sound of Han Yuna, who came out in the morning without makeup because she overslept and put on makeup belatedly.
“Hey, what’s so special about showing off your bare face? I’ve seen it a few times already.”
“Poetry, noisy! Make-up gets weird, so just be quiet.”
Hanyu, who diligently replies to my words even while smearing something on her face. In the meantime, the point is that she turned her back to the window at all, as if hinting that she would never show her bare face.
Well, in the past, I didn’t even pay attention to showing bare skin, so I don’t understand why he’s doing that all of a sudden. Did you come to puberty late?
“Come to think of it, did Siyoon come from breakfast? Since we’re still there, we’re going to make a quick stop at the rest area.”
Hanyu After taking her attention away from me and fiddling with her phone or car for a while, her aunt met her eyes through the rearview mirror and spoke to her. Just at that moment, when she turned right, a sign appeared that kindly informed her that it was a rest area.
“I didn’t eat either. It’s too early for breakfast….”
“Really? It just went well, let’s all eat together.”
Perhaps she was worried that the picture would not be very good if she left me alone and ate by herself, her aunt’s face turned bright and her car turned in the direction of her rest area.
The car that ran like that soon arrived at the parking lot, and we got off immediately to head to the restaurant.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom.”
In the midst of that, there was a person who turned right instead of left, where the restaurant was by herself, and it was Han Yuna.
Seeing her holding up and taking down a pouch containing makeup tools, it seems that she doesn’t like her current makeup and wants to fix it. It looks fine to me, but is it different from a woman’s point of view?
“I will come too. I can ask you to do anything.”
“Me too, mom.”
“Okay, come slowly.”
After asking the lady to place her order, she headed towards the bathroom, where she could see quite a few people lingering in front despite the early hour.
Shoot ah.
After entering the men’s bathroom and quickly finishing my errands, I washed my hands, came out, leaned against the pillar between the two bathrooms, and decided to wait for Han Yuna.
It looks like he spent quite a bit of time looking at his phone, but maybe he’s fixing his makeup as I expected, or he still hasn’t appeared. Still, when I waited for a few more minutes, I saw Han Yuna coming out.
“What, what is it? Didn’t you go first?”
As I slowly approached her, feeling my presence, she turned her head and was startled.
You didn’t think I’d be waiting this long because of you. So come out sooner rather than later.
“I was going to go with you. By the way, did you finish your makeup?”
“Ugh, yes…. Somehow Does it still look strange to you? Shall we fix more?”
“Um.”
Hanyu Looking up at me with an expression of unconfidence uncharacteristic for me and blinking at her eyes made me feel that she honestly wanted to tease me.
But while riding in the car and even in the bathroom, banging on the face and playing pranks on a guy who was struggling seemed to cross the line, so I pressed her head hard and threw a word.
“Not at all. Does removing a string from a watermelon make it a pumpkin?”
It was only after I found Han Yuna stopped in her seat that I realized that it wasn’t like me, and that it was a very cheesy comment.
Ah, a dark history was created. Damn it.
***
Fortunately, Yuna Han did not try to make fun of me with the black history that I made myself. She thought, ‘I’m that pretty?’
Anyway, I was about to go back to the car after finishing my meal safely, but the man who was pacing in front of the cafe waved his hand at me. He ran over to see if he needed anything, and he immediately handed me a cup.
“Siyoon, you should have a cup of coffee too. She must have had a hard time waking up early in the morning.”
“Ah, thank you, mister.”
Americano, I can’t believe you made it with ice in a sensible way. It was a welcome gift for me, who had been thinking about having a cup of coffee after dinner.
Come to think of it, didn’t everyone in Han Yuna’s house say they couldn’t drink coffee except for the man? That’s why she was here all alone. Maybe she just needed a companion to talk to over a cup of coffee.
“It’s a long-awaited holiday, but I’m sorry I brought you here. Yuna, how her grandmother is making a fuss to bring her….”
It seems that Hanyu Nane’s grandmother demanded that I come more fiercely than I thought. She laughed out loud at the old man shaking her head with an expression of boredom.
“What? I would have stayed at home anyway, but thanks to that, I get some fresh air and it’s nice.”
“I’m glad if you think of it that way. Anyway, how is your school life?”
“As usual. It’s a 3rd grade in high school, so it doesn’t feel like it’s a bit tight.”
Unlike the head of my family, he has a friendly and approachable personality, so despite meeting him after a long time, he led the conversation by asking questions about his current situation at school and his future career without the slightest awkwardness. C.
By the time the Americano I was drinking was half empty, the man checked the watch on her wrist as if it was time to leave.
“We can talk about it even when we go, so let’s start at this point. We still have a long way to go.”
“How many hours will it take?”
“Well, four hours? If the traffic is blocked, it will take about five hours.”
It must be quite far. I couldn’t get a sense of how much it was because I was relying on my memories from elementary school, but I think sleeping as if I fainted would be beneficial to my health.
Jeop, I should have brought a pillow.
“Can I not buy things for you and the other kids?”
“I drank it alone because everyone said I didn’t need it, so it should be fine.”
As we left the cafe, I thought it was just the two of us drinking coffee, so I asked if I wanted to buy a drink for the others, but the man seemed to have already asked, so I decided to head straight to the car.
“Oops, it’s very clogged.”
“I will.”
When we arrived at the parking lot, another car was parked in the driver’s seat that had been vacant when we parked. The problem is that the parking lot was erratic, and the space for people to squeeze in was ambiguous, so the man had a hard time getting into the car.
Then I have to ride the opposite way.
Knock.
With an ungrateful thought that it was fortunate that I was not the driver, I opened the right side door of the back seat and threw it back.
But for some reason, I stopped without stepping into the scene with a considerable sense of disparities unfolding in front of my eyes. That’s right,
“… Why are you here?”
Originally, Han Yu-jin was sitting in the middle seat where Han Yu-jin should have been.
What is it, a funny hidden camera?
“Boo, do you have any complaints!? I can sit in the middle!”
“Who is complaining? She was surprised to ask because she was sitting in a seat she had never sat in her entire life.”
I assure you, as the three of them rode together in the back seat, Hanyuna never sat in the middle of her. Although I’m not the perfect memory person in the comics, I can say this. That much means that this composition is heterogeneous.
“It’s only because of your conscience that you only seat Han Yu-jin in the middle every time, isn’t it? It’s okay, so get on quickly, they say you have to start.”
“That’s right.”
No one else but Han Yu-na is worried about Han Yu-jin? Did the sun rise from the west today?
As she followed Yu-Na Han’s words with her fish-eyed eyes and got into her car, Yu-Jin Han, who was looking at me over her guy’s shoulder, came into her eyes. She also had a look of bewilderment.
【Me – What did she eat wrong?】
【Banana milk addict – I don’t know, you looked really happy after eating earlier?】
【Me – Suddenly?】
【Banana milk addict – I thought that’s why my brother bought me something delicious.】
Do you have a chin to buy it for? I was on my way to eat anyway, and in the first place, Hanyu said she was pretty, so she would buy me something delicious.
Anyway, the fact that Han Yu-jin doesn’t know is that there was a reason that only Han Yu-na knew. Maybe she really grew up and gave up her comfortable seat to Han Yu-jin. If it’s really like that, I think I’ll shed tears of emotion.
Well, if you think about it, this guy will be an adult soon, so it’s time to take care of her sister. Maybe I looked at Han Yuna like a child. This immature guy was slowly growing up.
“… Why are you crying all of a sudden?”
“No, I’m thrilled….”
It’s commendable, Han Yuna! If I get a chance, I’ll buy you a special strawberry milk. Except for Han Yu-jin, it’s only you.
If that side is a banana milk addict, this side is a strawberry milk addict. I’m willing to buy up to two if you want. It is said that Yuna Han of the world has matured, but this level of distribution should be seen.
