Episode 78. Travel preparation
Incense smoke rose.
A photograph placed on a tabletop with smoke rising.
This was my father’s life.
In front of it, the food he liked in his lifetime was on top, but my father only smiled and the food was there.
“He was always an upbeat nobleman. Your father.”
During the ancestral rites, my mother always said the same thing. At such times, longing and loneliness were buried in her eyes as she looked at her photos.
My sister silently wrapped her shoulders around her mother and comforted her.
I silently helped carry the food and bowed according to the procedure.
But it’s been a while, so I’m glad it’s not as sad as it used to be.
My mother and older sister, who sat down at the kitchen table to take a break, were already talking about travel.
Dad would be more comfortable doing this rather than being depressed all the time.
With that thought in mind, I looked at the picture of my father before he was alive.
My father died when I was 6 years old.
I still vividly remember the last conversation between father and son in the hospital room when I was 6 years old.
-Since ancient times, a man must know how to protect the person he needs to protect.
That’s what my father, who looked decrepit in the hospital room, said. Given the context of the conversation, I think he meant to take good care of his mother and older sister.
– Can I do well?
-Of course, you are my son.
My father gently stroked my hair, which hardened my face with concern, and then continued.
– Taeyang, be a strong male.
-Strong… Cock?
-Yes, since ancient times, only strong males can claim females.
“… What did you teach a 6-year-old?”
While I was reminiscing, I was deeply moved. The story that followed continued, but thinking about it makes my head hurt even more.
I have blonde hair and dark skin like me in the photo. And a very scary looking face.
I, who inherited the gene as it is, was also a person of embarrassment in many ways.
I was even more embarrassed when I heard about her love story with her mother.
She says that her mother, who was suffering from an insignificant, bad-tempered man, persuaded him to abandon him.
Please don’t misunderstand. It’s after I was caught cheating on the bad guy’s side, not my mother’s.
After that, her mother became a ‘husband-wisher’ who looked only at her father during her relationship and even after her marriage.
Why do you like it so much? I remember the two of them smiling sinisterly after my older sister asked me out of curiosity when I was young.
They say listen to it when you grow up, but I don’t want to listen to it even when I grow up.
After looking at the picture for a while, I went to the kitchen to drink water.
“But would it be okay for two men to sit in a place where there are a lot of girls?”
“It’s okay. Since Juyeon is a place where relatives work, all the adults are there, and we decided to play safely.”
“Yeah, well, I’m relieved that Taeyang is here.”
“Why me?”
I interrupted because I heard my name while drinking water.
“Taeyang. Can you go on a trip and take care of your sister?”
“Mom really~ I’m taking care of Taeyang~”
“Yeah, but to make sure nothing happens to my sister, Taeyang… ”
If my father were alive, he would have said something similar to her mother.
I answered with a smile.
“Don’t worry, I will keep you safe.”
I put my mug on the sink and went back to the living room.
“……… “
“……… “
In the kitchen, which had been quiet for a while, the voices were heard again.
“Taeyang is pretty trustworthy.”
“I see, you seem to be a bit taller these days, right?”
Returning to the living room, I briefly looked at my father’s picture.
Because I usually see it wrong for one reason or another.
You are a strange person, but… He was a precious person to me in many ways.
“So who likes Taeyang?”
“You know what? Listen for a moment.”
Anxious whispers were heard in one place, but were ignored.
————
“Are you really not going?”
“Oh, I’m not going.”
My sister entered my room and dragged my arm as I lay there. Judging by the mischievous smile, he seems to be enjoying being shy.
“Why do I have to follow my sisters to buy swimsuits?”
“Well, it’s good that Taeyang chooses a swimsuit too~”
“Okay. It’s strange for a man to follow alone.”
“You know? Sisters, the sun will reflect your taste.”
Yes, Kahi noona would be impatient to cater to my tastes. That’s why i’m more afraid There are people who know that it is difficult to meet Kahi noona…
“Why do you care about my taste? Oh, okay. Or just wear a school swimsuit.”
“Oh, was that your preference?”
“My son… My taste is so maniac.”
“When did mom come back!!”
There’s nothing you can’t say to your son than that.
“Son. Mom is still on her son’s side. Ruler.”
On the day off after a long time, he folded the dry laundry and handed it to me.
It’s something I can do later.
“Thank you.”
“You are a happy youth. I’m envious~ Mom goes to work when you guys go out to play.”
“hehehehe, mom always works hard too.”
“I’ll go on a trip and buy you a present.”
As if she had just said something, she smiled and went down again.
“If there is an uncomfortable situation, my sister will stop it.”
White noona also seemed to have Kahi noona’s work in mind.
I’m grateful that the white noona stopped me, but more than that, it’s embarrassing to just go to the women’s swimsuit section.
“I have to do homework for vacation, so go with my sisters.”
“Then there is nothing you can do… “
The white sister did not recommend any more and withdrew.
“Then I’ll come back.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Yeah~”
After my sister left, she sat down at her desk.
Homework is important, but more than that, I opened the Notebook again.
It’s not long until the summer vacation main event, so I’ll have to recheck my plans soon.
———
The girls whom I hadn’t seen in a long time headed to the downtown area.
In a friendly atmosphere, Hayan-i and Joo-yeon talked about which swimsuit to choose, but from the start, two distraught women followed.
“Hey White…… “
“Gahee. Have you been unable to sleep?”
“That… Hey… How is Taeyang?”
Whitei, who knew how the situation was going, smiled bitterly.
Kahi likes Taeyang.
However, it seems that Taeyang was too much of a burden, and in the end, Taeyang overheard Kahi.
After that, Kahi asked Hayan for advice.
“It’s okay if it’s the sun.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, that day was just because it was burdensome, so if you’re careful in the future, you’ll be fine.”
However, when Taeyang said that they should only be friends, Kahi was still depressed.
Even White couldn’t help it, so he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
It wasn’t that I didn’t like Kahi, but Whiteyi couldn’t help her anymore.
“What are you talking about?”
“Hey, it’s nothing special. It was a story that Taeyang didn’t come and seemed bored.”
“Hmm… Well, it’s a bit like being involved in buying swimsuits with girls.”
Since he decided to help the person he is talking to, Min-iri, Ha-yan Kim felt more sorry for Ga-hee.
But I can’t help it.
Because Taeyang is the most comfortable partner.
As an older sister, I have to wish Taeyang happiness. I made a promise to let Leeri’s charm shine through this opportunity.
“Have you seen any swimsuits that are bigger than that?”
“Huh? That is… Anyway, I don’t know very well… “
The wolf was also down.
Apparently, he thinks that a bright and cute swimsuit won’t suit him.
‘Oh, even though I have such an elastic body, I don’t have confidence.’
Kim Ha-ran nodded her head and said, “I knew she would do this.”
“It’s okay. Come on. Because I have a lot of things for you.”
“What?”
“If you try on each one, you will find something good.”
White smiled brightly. She felt an ominous sight at the sight of her.
‘I have a hunch that I will be wearing this and that all day… ‘
And that expectation became a reality after entering a swimsuit store.
“Wait!! This is too revealing!”
“hehehehe… Good?”
“White, so you look like an old man… “
Yiri, who shyly covered her toned body in a black bikini, blushed and was at a loss.
“Do you think it’s okay?”
“I don’t know about that!”
“Then would something like this be better than being s*xy?”
Kim Ha-yan handed over a cute swimsuit with frills. It was a swimsuit in the form of a bikini with a skirt shape underneath.
“This!… Wouldn’t it be better to have a lead actor or a cute kid than me?”
“This is cute enough~”
Gahi also praised her from the side.
Lee blushed even more, and she was at a loss.
I was just conscious of the eyes of others.
“You still don’t know which one is better?”
“Nothing suits me because it’s cute.”
“I hear you tend to underestimate yourself too much.”
Seong Joo-yeon also helped, but it didn’t seem to listen to the wolf.
Hayani pulled out a swimsuit he had seen earlier.
“Um… I think this suits Lee. If you don’t know, should I take a picture and ask Taeyang?”
“What? That… I can’t because it’s embarrassing!!”
Lee hurriedly tried to take Whitey’s phone with a red face as if a volcanic eruption was about to happen.
Before I knew it, tears welled up in my eyes.
“Tae-taeyang, absolutely not! It’s not cute at all, so I’m sure they’ll laugh at it!!”
“… Are you acting a little too much?”
And at one point, Kahi, who had been quietly watching him, was confused.
Oddly enough, when Taeyang only talks about it, Lee’s behavior becomes excessive.
‘I can’t believe this… ‘
“It’s embarrassing to show even a close brother.”
Lee drew the line like that.
‘Yeah, maybe not.’
Kahi was relieved again and let out a sigh of relief.
I don’t think Taeyang has feelings for him. Kahi began to rationalize strongly that it must be so.
It’s enough for me to like Taeyang.
“I want to ask Taeyang too.”
Kahi thought she wanted to show Taeyang a s*xy or cute image and ask for his opinion, but
In the current situation, I thought that Taeyang would rather hate it, so I was Ga-hee who became sullen again.
“Eh~ I envy you.”
Apart from that, Seong Joo-yeon, who was watching their scramble, sighed deeply.
It’s because Hyeonta came while looking after Yiri and her other kids’ swimsuits.
Inadvertently, he put his hand on the small hill of his upper body and sighed again.
“You should worry about me.”
Seongju Yeon, who left for a while, chose her swimsuit.
“What style does Sunwoo like?”
I struggled alone and fell into trouble.
“Should I film it and ask Seonwoo… After~”
Seong Ju-yeon shook her head again.
I still need to prepare my mind to show it in person. I also want to surprise you at the beach on the same day.
‘I want to make Seonwoo lose his mind when he sees me… ‘
But again, the bodies of the kids around me kept bothering me.
‘Ugh… Now that it’s like this, I’m going to win with cuteness!’
And if you’re someone who wants to ask your opinion on what guys might like…
Seong Joo-yeon: Teacher. Are you okay for a moment?
Taeyang: What is it?
Seong Ju-yeon: Please look at the swimsuit.
Taeyang: Why are you telling me that?
Taeyang: This older sister is funny.
Seong Joo-yeon: (sulking emoticon)
Seong Joo-yeon: Whenever I say I’m cheering for you!
Taeyang: I think I heard the other day that Seonwoo hyung likes the color pink.
Taeyang: Buy something cute in pink.
Seong Ju-yeon: Really?
Jooyeon Seong: (Thank you emoticon)
Kim Taeyang: Noona is pretty, so whatever you choose will be pretty. Go for it.
Starring: (Emoji with her nose raised)
Still, thanks to Taeyang’s horse, Seong Joo-yeon was confident.
“Yes, I’m pretty too, so there’s nothing I can’t do.”
Also, in , I was able to choose a swimsuit satisfactorily thanks to Taeyang’s answer, who knows what Seong Ju-yeon wears anyway.
Because Seonwoo’s reaction in the game was actually good.
In this way, each of them had different thoughts, and they realized that the promised trip was getting closer.
