111 – New Year
Today is December 31st.
It is the last day of the year 2017.
Even though it is the last day of the year, there is no significant change in people’s daily lives.
If there is something a little different, is it possible to leave work a little earlier at the company’s discretion, or something like that?
Of course, it has nothing to do with Ara, who is an idol, and me, who is just a student.
Probably only Jeonghwan, who goes to work, is having a hard time.
For me, December 31st is just the last day of the year and the day I hear the bell ring at 12 o’clock.
No.
It was just that.
Until three years ago, before I met Ara.
Now is a special time to spend time with New Year’s Eve bells and New Year’s Eve.
So, like every year, I am trying hard to decide which of the two I will go to see today.
Actually, I think you can do both if you work hard.
Ara doesn’t want to live a busy life.
A life where the goal is to do one thing perfectly…
Some people may think that we are full, but for us, it is a natural life.
“Seonghwan, shall we go hear the New Year’s bell or go see the New Year?”
“Of course it’s New Year, right?”
Rather than ending the year, I want to treat it as the beginning of a new year.
Because he is a man who puts the past in the past and aims for the future.
And to hear the New Year’s Eve bell, you have to go to a certain place.
There are so many people that it is not a good event for us to go to in person.
“That’s true, right? But, we might not be able to go to the place we used to go every year.”
“Yes? Why?”
“I understand that it is under control because there was a crash there last time.”
I wondered what was going on, so I searched for it by entering the place name and location.
I clicked on the news displayed at the top to check it.
Unfortunately, a fatal accident occurred due to a fall, and the person who owns the nearby land
It appears that access to the hot spot location has been blocked.
“It’s private property, so there’s nothing we can do.”
“Still, it’s a bit disappointing. There were few people there and it looked nice.”
It was a place that looked like something you’d only see in a fantasy game, so I sighed when I heard that I wouldn’t be able to go in.
I feel like I want to buy the land and move in there.
“There’s nothing we can do, right? I’ll find a better place for you.”
“Sister…”
“Ugh… I guess my husband is disappointed in this area?”
“I liked it there too.”
Ara said she would find a better place than that one, but
I don’t know if I can find it.
Ara herself must be very disappointed..
“I’ll also look for a good place.”
“Huh? Do you know a place on the East Sea?”
“No, I’m going to go to SNS and ask the community.”
Just as we have places that only we know,
Some other people may also have places that only they know about.
If you ask me to secretly send you a message or something,
Isn’t this a good method since it’s not exposed?
“Hmm… It’s not a bad idea, but even if I’m a fan of such a place, should I just let you know?”
“Otherwise, wouldn’t it be okay to give you the rare goods that the CEO asked you to give out as a gift?”
There are a lot of things I can’t buy even if I have money.
Not long ago, the CEO said, ‘It’s thanks to Seonghwan that the goods are selling well.’ They said
This is because they gave away a lot of limited edition goods that were not for sale.
“Is it okay to share it like that?”
“I said I could distribute it however I wanted, so it wouldn’t matter, right?”
“Umm… CEO, why is Seonghwan so soft on you…?”
Just look at the fact that he gave it to me and didn’t give it to anyone else.
I can see that the CEO is very soft on me.
I guess they just take good care of him because he is the husband of his close friend.

“Is this about it?”
After running from dawn, we arrived at a quiet place on the East Sea.
Because it is a fishing village, you can see the port and it is a perfect place for fishing.
“hehehe…”
As expected, Ara researched well before coming.
I also prepared some fishing rods.
Ara is probably looking forward to fishing more than the sunrise.
“Isn’t sea fishing difficult?”
“Not at all! Just do the same thing as you did at the fishing cafe. Except for casting.”
Casting refers to the act of placing bait and throwing it far away.
Unless you go out to sea on a boat, how well you cast on land seems to be quite important.
Anyway, fishing is something you do after watching the sunrise.
I grabbed the sandwiches, side dishes, and coffee I had prepared for breakfast and got out of the car.
“Phew… As expected, the morning air is a little cold. Seonghwan, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Before Ara came out of her house, she prepared for Manman, so she was not cold.
There are 6 hot packs attached to the padding, and one hot pack goes into each pocket.
The scarf and mask are perfectly worn.
If you look at her, she may feel like an older sister taking care of her sick younger brother.
“I think my sister will be cold, huh?”
“Women aren’t this cold.”
She was wearing a coat, but she was wearing a little thin clothing underneath.
She is worried that she might catch a cold.
She’s still a woman, though she doesn’t act cold in front of me.
How can it not be cold in this weather?
She took out the two hot packs she kept in her pockets and put them in Ara’s coat.
“I heard your sister is okay?”
“A woman is the one who accepts things calmly when she gives them something.”
“Umm…”
Isn’t it the opposite? She tilted her head with a curious face, but
She put her hand into the warm hot pack I gave her and nodded, her face blushing.

“I think this is it?”
Would it have been about 5 minutes?
A railing made with great effort so that anyone can see the sunrise.
There was even a deck prepared that looked like something you would see at a campsite.
This is a place introduced by an anonymous user of a community site.
He informed me that it was his private property and that no one else could enter.
I wondered what kind of rich person he was, who had private land in a good place to watch the sunrise.
Because it is located on a rural road, it seems to be less expensive than you might think.
“….I want it.”
“Yes?”
“It’s okay to fish here.”
Even though there was a railing, the water level with the sea was not much different.
At best, 3 meters?
By the way, I want it…
Do you want to own this land?
Well, I’m definitely a little envious of having land like this.
They said they couldn’t come this year because they were busy, but I saw that it had a deck and plugged in outlets.
It looks like you enjoyed the camp…
Enjoy camping while watching the morning sun rise in a place like this?
It must be a life with nothing to envy.
“Shall we go fishing here later?”
“It’s uncomfortable because of the railings, so let’s go towards the village.”
I patted Ara’s head, who was already excited about going fishing.
The sun hasn’t even risen yet and she’s thinking about fishing…
Didn’t Ara’s fishing instincts awaken by going to a fishing cafe for no reason?
From Noble mtl dot com
“Whenever you go fishing from now on, I’ll go with you.”
“Really!?”
“Uh…You don’t really hate it.”
“Who doesn’t like it? I can go out with Seonghwan!”
Men don’t really like fishing…
No, it depends on the person, but some people say they hate it.
Wives love fishing so much that they don’t even think about staying home.
I often see posts lamenting this in the Namcho community.
Like that, women don’t really want to take men with them when they go fishing.
Not only does it make you unable to concentrate on fishing, but it also increases the amount of work you have to do instead.
From what I heard, there are some men who don’t want to set the bait themselves.
It seems that when he goes fishing, he goes alone whenever possible.
“Whoa…”
“Have a drink of this.”
She handed Ara hot coffee that she had brought in a thermos.
As soon as we saw the deck, we spread out our mats.
The sun hasn’t risen yet, so I’m looking at the other side of the dark sea.
It melted my cold, frozen body.
“What time does the sun rise today?”
“They say it wakes up around 7:30.”
“There’s still a little bit left.”
She looked at her watch and saw that she still had a little left.
She rested her head on my shoulder.
No, more precisely, he leaned in a slightly strange position.
This was because she was putting her own cheek against mine.
“Seonghwan.”
“Yes.”
“Can I suck your cheek?”
“If I do that again and a hickey is left, I’ll be so embarrassed that I won’t be able to walk around.”
Even now, there are a lot of kiss marks left on my lower body, neck, and under my chest.
The amount is a bit large, so much so that it hurts.
“Uh, sister! It looks like you’re trying to destroy it?”
“Wow….”
As I point my finger at the sea in front of me, the sun is rising gently, like a scene from a movie.
Is this what emotion is?
As I look at the new year’s sun, memories of the eventful past year come to mind like a flash.
I entered university, opened a QTube channel…
Getting a license, buying a car… Various things happened.
All of this is something I would not have experienced if it weren’t for Ara.
“Sister.”
“Yes.”
“Please take care of me this year as well.”
“Please take care of me, Seonghwan.”
Ara lifts her head from my shoulder and smiles brightly.
I also smiled softly and kissed her lips.
I believe that a New Year’s kiss will be the spice of life for couples welcoming the New Year.
And I just prayed earnestly in my heart that Ara and I would not be seriously hurt or in pain for the next year.
