Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

30 – Accident after accident

I’m a real idiot. No, the word backbone fits perfectly. It’s a fictional word to say to Park Si-yoon, but I have to write it to me today. This asshole Han Yuna, get out and die.

Looking back slowly from the time I came back from the stream, I can’t help but exclaim, “Ouch!”

Han Yuna, are you a child? Are you a child! Park Si-yoon gets angry that she only asked her sister what to drink, and even if you do that, next year you will be an adult and go to third grade in high school!? It’s so hot I’m dying!

No, if Park Si-yoon openly discriminated against Han Yu-jin and me, then I fully understand that he was upset. However, when I opened the lid, this was not discrimination, it was just a tragedy that I couldn’t laugh at because I knew more about myself.

Glance.

Until the misunderstanding was resolved and we arrived at the convenience store, I only looked at Park Si-yoon’s side profile and didn’t say anything.

Actually, the thing that I am most afraid of kicking the blanket is not that I misunderstood that Park Si-yoon discriminated against me and Han Yu-jin. Of course, that point is enough to kick the blanket, but from my standards, what happened before that came to me even more.

– It’s okay, Yujin Han. You wait here alone. ‘Cause I’ll go with you

In that situation, why did I choose the option of leaving Han Yu-jin and going? Come to think of it, this was the least like me.

Basically, I hate moving. I don’t know if there are people who ask if it’s okay to be the next idol, but among idols, there are people who claim to be housewives.

Anyway, the important thing is that if it was me in that situation, I would have thought it was a good thing and spread out on the shore and waited for the two of them to come back. You must not have forgotten the comment like ‘Melon bar when you come’.

But why did it happen this time? When he realized his actions, he was already climbing the stairs and dragging Han Yujin down. It was something I did accidentally.

Why, why, why. Even if you ask yourself the reason again and again, you will not come back with a plausible answer. No, maybe it’s coming back, but maybe I’m covering my ears and trying not to hear it.

Belt ring.

Shaking my head as if to shake off my confused thoughts, I entered the convenience store that I had arrived before I knew it. There was no big difference between the city and this convenience store, from the interior view to the incomprehensible sound that resonated when the door was opened.

“Welcome. It’s been a while since young people came.”

When I entered the convenience store, the manager I had seen before was looking at the counter. It’s where I come every time I visit her grandmother’s house, but I can’t expect her to remember my face.

“I am the granddaughter of Oh Kyung-ja’s grandmother. I came to see you today.”

Since this village is so small, everyone in the neighborhood knows each other by name, so she introduced herself by giving her grandmother’s name just as she did before.

“Hayang is the grandmother’s granddaughter? Alas, I seem to remember! Didn’t she come once on New Year’s Day?”

Only then did my face appear, albeit faintly, and the lady welcomed me with a clap of hands. The way she became friendly in an instant, and the title she had heard before, ‘Hayang’s grandmother’, made her feel very funny.

Put, Hayang said she was a grandmother. Well, our Hayang is treated like a third granddaughter or daughter to her grandmother.

“Yes, that’s right. How are you?”

“Sure! Ugh, because I’m getting older, my memory is getting worse, so I want….”

She looks a little older than my dad, but I don’t think she’s that old, but the lady who complains about the years and asks me how I’m doing.

“… ….”

Meanwhile, on the day Park Si-yoon was caught in front of the counter, she glanced at her, but then she came and stood next to her. You can just bring things in, but anyway, they care about strange things.

“By the way, is this your brother? I hadn’t heard of Grandma Hayang having a grandson.”

“No. This is my friend, and he came here a few times when he was young, so he came with me this time.”

“hahahaha, hello.”

Park Si-yoon greets me with a bright smile at my introduction.

People who have nothing to do with you, even if it’s an invitation, so you might be embarrassed, but seeing that he continues the conversation casually, he’s also quite arrogant. No, in this case, it should be said that it is sharp.

I’ve even hinted at it before, but he’s an amazing guy when it comes to dealing with adults. This is something I would like to learn.

Beep. Beep.

After our conversation, we walked over to the refrigerator for a while, brought out the items we wanted to buy, and put them on the counter.

I wondered if it was strange to see the water-soaked face, but I quickly realized that wasn’t the reason.

“Come to think of it, she said yesterday that her grandmother was talking about her granddaughter and son-in-law coming tomorrow…. Could this friend be that friend?”

“Yes? Ha, are you Grandma?”

“Yes, he came out to the town hall yesterday and boasted like that.”

At the unexpected remark, I inadvertently made eye contact with Park Si-yoon.

“… ….”

Park Si-yoon scratches his cheek as he turns his gaze away as he is afraid to make eye contact with me. My face became hot one after another at that action.

Grandmother… ! What the hell were you talking about! I did it in front of Park Si-yoon. I could laugh and pass it off as a joke, but what if I did it in front of other people! I can’t live!

“Does this friend prepare for an idol or something? He is very handsome.”

“Oh, no. I’m just a student….”

“Oh, is that so? If you have a face like that, you can become an actor.”

After praising her until her mouth was dry, the lady poked Park Si-yoon’s arm with a slightly sinister expression.

“There are so many kids targeting such a pretty princess, so take good care of her. You don’t know if someone takes you if you’re not paying attention.”

My grandmother didn’t even give advice, and her face was so hot that it seemed like it was about to explode.

I just want to finish the checkout and get out of here. Siyoon Park, can you hear my telepathy? Please! I don’t want to be disgraced! Quickly get out of your wallet!

I was in the middle of looking at Park Si-yoon with trembling eyes as I let out a clamor that wouldn’t even sound like that.

Shuk.

Park Si-yoon’s hand covered the wet hair along the back of my head and stroked my hair with a slightly softer hand rather than the usual clunky touch.

“Yes, I will take good care of it. Thanks for the advice.”

“Young friend is kind. Gosh, like it.”

The lady took out the cola that Park Si-yoon picked out of the items we brought, without paying for it, as if Si-yoon Park, who accepted her advice, looked pretty.

Normally, I would have been happy with the thought of getting a free drink, but today, somehow, I didn’t think about it.

Because I couldn’t afford to focus on anything else, trying to guess the meaning behind the hand stroking my hair and the words Park Si-yoon threw at her.

In the end, without even asking Park Si-yoon what that meant, I had to calm my beating heart and urge my steps back to the stream.

***

The sun wasn’t even that hot, but somehow, with a face that kept getting hotter, I headed to the side of Han Yu-jin, who was waiting for us lonely by the stream.

“Sister! What did you buy Do you believe that you chose wisely as much as you left me?”

“Ugh, yes. I picked a good amount.”

Cooling down his heated face with a cold drink bottle, he handed over the envelope. Inside her was the lemonade that Yujin Han drank the most besides banana milk.

“Is that right? What you wanted.”

“Yeah, it’s an older sister! Great sense!”

Han Yu-jin, who expressed her joy by blowing the so-called double bang, opened the lid of her plastic bottle and drank her lemonade right there. More than half of that much content disappeared down her throat in an instant.

I bought him a drink and he’s putting on a power show. Well, if you eat fast and eat a lot, you’re the second best kid in my family. Shouldn’t you have bought something with a little more capacity?

“I don’t know if you caught any fish.”

“Sure. But you can catch fish in a place like this, oppa?”

“It’s a kebab, but it’s usually caught.”

Meanwhile, in the conversation between Park Si-yoon and Han Yu-jin, who came down the stairs belatedly, I remembered that I had set up a trap.

I wonder, how many were caught? Suddenly interested, I moved to the water’s edge. I can’t ask Park Si-yoon one by one, so I’ll check it out this time.

“I’ll check it out and come back. You installed it over there, right?”

“Huh? Hey, Hanyuna wait… !”

I heard Park Si-yoon say something from behind, but I couldn’t hear it well because it was drowned out by the sound of going into the water. Are you even worried? It’s not that deep at all, but I’m overdoing it in a strange place.

Splash. With a splash.

Ah, I’m sure it’s a bit deep here. I think I know why Park Si-yoon tried to stop me. The water that had been playing around his knees until just now came up to the top of his waist before he knew it. Besides, the water current is a bit faster, so it seems dangerous enough for children.

But that was only for children, and not for a high school student like me, so I walked proudly across the water.

“Hey, Han Yuna! Just come back because I’m going!”

“It’s okay! It’s not that deep, what!”

I heard Park Si-yoon’s worried voice from behind again, but I ignored the advice and moved my gaze to the place where the trap was installed. Under the stone that Park Si-yoon presumably placed on it, something like a blackish net was placed.

Look at that, how dangerous. You found it right away.

Now all you have to do is check how many fish are caught and go back. It was the moment when I was about to bend down because I had to remove the stone on top for that.

Slippery.

As I stepped on the rock right in front of me as a stepping stone, I felt the touch of the moss that had settled on the outside and my body leaned sideways.

“Huh?”

Before I even realized that something was wrong, I fell into the water with a sharp pain from a sprained ankle, and I lost my balance in the stronger current than before.

I can’t. It’s really dangerous to float down here. To be honest, my grandmother also asked me to play only on this top if possible. If it stays like this….

“… Han Yuna!”

Along with Park Si-yoon’s voice calling me anxiously from afar, the sound of something jumping into the water echoes. Intuitively guessing that Park Si-yoon jumped in to save me, I shook my head inwardly.

No, Park Si-yoon. Do not come. If I make a mistake and get caught up in you too, I might not see your face even if I go to the real world.

Gradually, the mind becomes calmer. The lungs that had just been gasping for breath, and the futile resistance of trying to hold on to something had long since disappeared. Will give up I let go of everything, assuming that I would not be able to live.

Kwak.

Right before I lost consciousness, I felt the sensation of something wrapping around my body.

Is this another rope pulling me to the underworld? Oh, I wish I hadn’t taken her away already.

I mean, I haven’t asked Park Si-yoon yet, what the meaning of the words you said earlier at the convenience store.
