＜Episode 101＞ Honeymoon 2
“You have just arrived.”
Si-eun sighed as she got onto the suitcase she had been dragging.
“I’m going to die.”
I also put down the suitcase and said.
We both looked exhausted.
I changed from the plane to the subway and even walked there, of course. Moreover, the fact that it was a foreign country was also great. Today, for the first time, I realized how difficult it is to move while reading unfamiliar characters.
The place we arrived at was a hotel located among the houses.
While discussing honeymoon plans, I suggested that we find a luxury hotel downtown.
However, Si-eun refused. He had a good budget, so he wouldn’t have anything to do with it, but he kept shaking his head. Instead, he repeatedly insisted on staying in a place with a good atmosphere.
“It is a waste of money to stay in an expensive place. I’d rather live in a quiet neighborhood.”
“Well.”
Still, it’s a honeymoon that will never come again in my life. It’s okay to be extravagant, and it’s not a very luxurious thing for me.
A few words lingered in my mouth, but in the end, I decided to follow Si-eun’s opinion. Because there’s no way Si-eun would be happy for recklessly booking an expensive place.
Accommodation determined in this way.
“It is spacious and nice.”
As Si-eun said, it was a much better place than expected.
It is a low hotel built in the middle of a residential area. There were no great expectations. I thoroughly reviewed the reviews and photos, but I was skeptical until I saw the real thing.
However, when I arrived and checked it myself, it was very good. The room was spacious and the bed was big, so it didn’t seem like there would be any inconvenience when sleeping together.
“I’m going to look around.”
Si-eun opened her eyes and went inside.
I’m guessing it’s the person who just got tired and limp. Well, anyway, I’m glad to see you’re lively. He smiled a little and followed.
The first place I went to was the window.
From the large window, you can see the alley behind the hotel.
A man who appeared to be a local resident passed by on a bicycle. It was cold, so he was well dressed. On the contrary, the trees erected by the roadside were all naked.
To be honest, the scenery is not good, but this is the feeling of living in the mood.
Si-eun, who looked outside, murmured.
“Even if it is warmer than in Korea, it seems that it is winter.”
“I will. People who live here must have adapted to the weather here.”
In this part, Si-eun’s foresight was correct. Si-eun came wearing my coat that would be appropriate for late autumn, but it was again appropriate for this weather.
On the other hand, I was slowly getting hotter. When he took off his coat and hung it on his arm, Si-eun pointed out the window.
“Look at that. Interesting.”
“what?”
“The signs are all in Japanese.”
“It’s because it’s Japan.”
“That’s weird. I was in Korea a few hours ago, but now I’m in another country.”
“Um, I think it’s a bit strange to hear.”
To my answer, Si-eun said, “Is that right?” and smiled.
Soon, Si-eun’s eyes rolled away.
The next destination was the bed. Si-eun sat gently on the bed and pressed the mattress with her palms.
“Very fluffy.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
He smiled softly and added a word soon.
“Up here, no matter what I do, it won’t hurt.”
“… … .”
It should be, but what does it mean? It would be better not to fuss about the detailed meaning. He closed his mouth and nodded his head.
After getting up, Si-eun headed to the bathroom.
The bathroom was equipped with a shower booth like any hotel room. Next to it, there was a bathtub large enough to fit several people.
“The bathtub is also very spacious.”
“I know.”
Si-eun did not add any words to this. Still, the message I wanted to convey has already been delivered through nuances.
I felt it at the time of reservation, but this room… … It reminds me of when we went to Busan together. Si-eun now is probably imagining things she couldn’t do then.
I decided not to pretend to know.
It’s still evening.
“Would you like to have dinner? Even if I ate the inflight meal, I wouldn’t be hungry.”
He said it as if he was smoking something else. Did you read my insides? Si-eun smiled bitterly for a moment, then folded her arms and answered.
“Um, I’m not that hungry. Still, I’m on a trip, so I’ll do this for a while.”
“Yogi?”
“yes.”
Si-eun nodded loudly.
“I heard that Japanese convenience stores have a lot of delicious food. I want to buy one and try it.”
“convenience store? It’s fine though. Wouldn’t it be better to eat more expensive food if you came to your honeymoon?”
“No, it’s because I want to try convenience store food.”
Just cut and answer In terms of experience in a foreign country, convenience store food is not a bad choice.
“Then shall we go together?”
“yes.”
Si-eun took my hand as if satisfied.
◎
“I’m not going to eat?”
Si-eun, who was eating the pudding, pointed to my share and asked.
“I feel full just looking at her eating honey.”
“really?”
“… … no.”
The truth is, I just don’t go in because I’m full.
I just want to do yogi. If my memory is correct, Si-eun said so.
But why is there so much food in our room right now?
The reason was simple. It was thanks to Si-eun who stopped by a convenience store and randomly picked out snacks.
Our hands, who had gone out empty-handed, were already clasped with food items. I bought all the scams… … I wondered if I could empty them all.
I actually asked him on the way back.
“Can I eat it all? If you are full.”
Then Si-eun answered with a serious tone.
“I’m wearing a dress, so I can finish the diet. You should eat as much as you like.”
“But that’s it.”
“And the snack boat is separate.”
Would you like to
Anyway, we ended up buying a lot of snacks. Si-eun was getting rid of those snacks without getting tired.
At least halfway through, I participated in one bite at a time, but gradually I reached the limit. The more I ate, the worse I felt.
I look at Si-eun with my chin on the table.
He inflates his cheeks like a hamster and eats a snack. There was a gleam of joy on his face. If you like to eat like this and don’t gain weight, maybe you are blessed in many ways.
Si-eun, who had been hesitant to choose the next snack, slowly turned to me.
“Why do you look like that?”
“I thought you were eating well.”
“Because it’s delicious.”
Is that so? Even though it was delicious, I couldn’t eat it that much.
But, if you think about it, the difference is understandable.

Me and Si-eun were poor when they were young. Abundant meals were rare.As a result, even after I had money, I was able to fill my meals with ramen and delivery food. On the other hand, Si-eun worked hard to cook and started making delicious dishes.
Up until now, I thought it was the difference in strength. Perhaps Si-eun had a strong desire for ‘delicious food’.
The fortress was the same for me.
“These days, it doesn’t taste good unless it’s the rice that Honey made.”
Si-eun tilted her head at the somewhat unexpected compliment.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“I just thought of it and said it. I used to eat well at the school cafeteria, but lately it’s not very tasty. If you eat it outside or have it ordered, it will feel salty or oily.”
“It’s because I’m so good at cooking.”
“Not great.”
“Is not it?”
He shrugged it off and quickly shrugged it off. If you don’t know anything else, the pride in your culinary skills is quite a tribute. Even when he just came to my house, he wanted to hear praise for his cooking.
Eventually, Si-eun made eye contact with me.
“In the future… … I will make a lot of delicious food.”
With a faint smile and a warm tone, he handed me these words.
The corners of my lips also rose at the supremely happy sound.
“yes. I look forward to it. for a lifetime.”

Me and Si-eun looked at each other with smiles for a while.For this brief moment, it was sweeter than any other snack in the world.
After the snack fair, we each decided to wash ourselves and go out.
After Si-eun, after taking a shower, Si-eun was sitting in bed watching TV. Bend your knees and place your chin on top of it. A remote control was held in one hand.
Si-eun, who was flipping the channel, put down the remote control immediately.
“I don’t even know what to say.”
Si-eun pokes her knee with her chin.
“This is a real foreign country.”
“Yeah, what. No Korean TV shows?”
“yes. I don’t think he’s coming.”
“I’m sorry.”
After putting in the chuimsae roughly, I lay down on the bed.
“Gosh. full.”
Si-eun’s pinzan flew in at the sound of an unconscious bleed.
“What kind of uncle are you talking about?”
“I’m married, but aren’t you an uncle in the future?”
“Then am I an aunt?”
“No.”
“So honey is not an uncle either.”
Even if you’re married, you’re not an uncle. I’m very happy with this. I guess I’m still an old kid.
After a while, the TV turned off, and Si-eun put the remote control on her bedside table.
I guess I decided to turn it off because it was a show I hadn’t seen anyway. As the unintelligible sound disappeared, the room filled with silence.
how long has it been
Si-eun, who had been sitting with her knees folded, crept up to my side with her hands and knees. Then he suddenly put his face into my view, so I had to open my mouth.
“why?”
“Can I lie down?”
“Yeah, honey, it’s up to you.”
It’s not even a point that requires my permission. ask everything
I thought so… … It seems that wasn’t Si-eun’s intention.
Si-eun, who had crawled a little more in that state, laid her body on top of me.
Si-eun’s chest was placed on my chest, and Si-eun’s stomach was placed on my stomach. And on my face, of course, was Si-eun’s playful face.
Long wavy hair tickles my cheeks.
“Uh-huh.”
As she uttered an unfamiliar sound in her panic, Si-eun chuckled as if it was funny.
Did you mean this… … . I, too, burst out laughing at the unexpected action.
“Did you say that you can lie on me?”
“Okay now?”
“Of course now I know. I am not a bed.”
“It’s warm and soft, and you don’t say anything even when you lie down. Isn’t it the same as a bed?”
“no… … .”
I was about to say something there, but then I shut my mouth. It also served as a pillow, but there is another thing that can’t be a bed. I want to do anything Si-eun wants. It was such a mind.
He wrapped one arm around Si-eun’s back, swept it, and talked playfully.
“These days, I seem to be asking the bed if I can lie down.”
“Does the bed talk these days?”
They don’t seem to want to lose to each other. We were stuck in a stalemate, and we had a small battle of nerves.
The result of this trivial match was a draw. It wasn’t long before we both burst into laughter.
He just smiled and opened his mouth.
“It’s cozy because I’m doing this. It’s like holding a doll.”
“okay? Isn’t it heavy?”
“Get on already and ask what? and it’s ok not heavy at all Lighter than a feather.”
Of course, I’ve never hugged a feather, but I thought it would probably be.
I feel so happy and warm right now, to the point that I don’t feel any weight at all.
The hand that wiped his back seemed itchy. Si-eun shrugged her body and smiled.
“I’m really happy to be here.”
“yes. I see.”
It was the same when I came out after registering my marriage. Si-eun looked very happy just being held by me. I never knew I would love skinship like this before.
Turn your gaze and look out the window.
A single moon hangs in the dark outside sky. There was only one star nearby. Just alone, the shining star as if comforting the lonely moon.
Perhaps the reason Si-eun keeps wanting to be embraced is because she wants to constantly confirm that she is with someone. It’s a sign of loneliness that I’ve been secretly harboring since childhood.
At that thought, a very small but pitiful feeling bloomed.
“Let’s stay together. in the future.”
Si-eun responded with a small smile, whether or not she knew what I was going through.
Staring straight at this beautiful smile, I turned my body over.
It was like lying on the bed with your hands and knees on the bed. Si-eun, who had just been lying on top of me, was now lying under me.
in short… … It was an attitude that attacked Si-eun.
Si-eun didn’t say anything. There was no sign of surprise at all. Instead, only the slightest ragged breathing echoed in his ears.
Had I guessed ahead of time what would happen from now on?
No, maybe Si-eun induced me to do this.
The last trip started purely with the desire to enjoy the sea.
This time, however, things are different in many ways. There are countless nights spent together. I knew which room this was aimed at and made a reservation. We’re even married now.
There is only one thing that happens at night.
“honey.”
“… … yes.”
Si-eun replied softly. His voice was already trembling.
To Si-eun like that, I smiled and said,
“I love you.”
Perhaps my words were unexpected, Si-eun raised her eyebrows.
“… … suddenly?”
“I love you all the time, so I can tell you anytime.”
Then he said it again.
This time, he whispered in his ear.
“I love you.”
Si-eun, who shuddered at these words, shuddered, and after a while, slowly opened her lips.
“me too… … I love you.”
It was a very shy voice.
okay. Si-eun is always like this
I am shy when talking about love. Smile when talking to someone you love.
And now Si-eun was shedding an embarrassing laugh.
Perhaps all night, Si-eun will make you smile like this.
I put my lips on those pink lips and turned off the light in the room.
It was the beginning of a long night.
