＜Episode 113＞ Everyday life is nothing 2
“Weren’t you looking at the monitor?”
After taking a short nap together, it was time to watch a movie.
As I was cleaning out the objects standing in front of the wall one by one, Si-eun on the bed asked:
I was wondering what to do. Instead of answering, he opened his index finger and pointed it at the desk. Si-eun’s gaze moved along my finger.
Where his eyes reached, a portable beam projector was placed.
After confirming her identity, Si-eun’s eyes twinkled.
“what. When did you prepare something like that?”
“I bought it a few days ago. I thought it would be more fun than a monitor or TV.”
“no wonder. For some reason, Honey said that she wanted to see a movie.”
I guess I’ve seen through my intentions, even if it’s late. I didn’t mean to hide it, but somehow it became a surprise. He shrugged his shoulders.
“What do you think?”
“sounds fun. I think the feeling will be different.”
Soon after, Si-eun, who was smiling broadly, began to shake her body from side to side. It was a unique body movement that he showed when he was in a good mood.
Behind her was the giant teddy bear I had bought. Whenever Si-eun moved, the teddy bear also fluttered.
It’s a pity that he’s supporting his back as if it were a cushion. Well, it’s said that your body aches when you’re pregnant. Rather, it seems to be more useful.
After organizing the items, the beam projector was installed in a suitable location. The bed was unstable, so I had to put it on the floor and raise the angle. After closing the curtains and turning off the lights, I connected a laptop and checked whether the output was normal.
All this process, Si-eun watched with interest.
After getting ready, I climbed onto the bed.
Si-eun in front of the teddy bear. next to me Wet wipes and popcorn were placed between the two of us.
Si-eun with a smile on her face.
“What movie is this? When I asked if I had seen it before, it seemed like a title I had heard somewhere.”
He answered as he opened the popcorn bucket.
“It’s a romantic comedy movie, but I didn’t read the plot. I guess it’s very famous though. The reviews were good.”
“Ummm”
Si-eun nodded her head slightly.
It was a decision considering prenatal education. Action, thriller, and horror movies are definitely not allowed. If there is only a rough comedy and romance left, wouldn’t a genre that mix the two half fit perfectly?

Most of all, it can remind you of the memories of your first date. I thought it would be a very good choice.I used my laptop to play a movie.
Following the logo of the production company, the names of the director and the lead actors appear. After a while, a scene of a man and a woman arguing on the street appeared.
From then on, for quite some time, Si-eun and I focused on the film with less talkativeness.
The development itself was common. An introductory part where men and women with opposite personalities fight each other from the first encounter. Then, due to an incident, the two began to become entangled with each other without a way out.
Si-eun suddenly smiled bitterly as she was surrounded by strange sensations. Presumably, Si-eun now had the same sentiments as mine.
I shuddered.
“I feel a bit nauseous.”
“I know.”
I guess it was correct
Si-eun grabbed the teddy bear’s arm and swung it.
“It’s very similar to when we first met. To the extent that I think I may have copied it after seeing it.”
“right? It was a movie that came out before we met, so I wouldn’t have copied it.”
“Even if it was a movie that came out after we met, would they have copied us?”
That’s right.
I didn’t know it was going to be something like this, but somehow it felt like I was aiming for something like this. Well, romantic comedy movies have a lot of similar stories. Whatever you pick, about half of the dogs will start out the same way.
He grabbed a popcorn and ate it while talking.
“It reminds me of the past.”
“when?”
Si-eun, who swallowed a handful of popcorn, pricked up her ears.
They have small hands and small mouths, but they are as eager to eat as they are. Anyway, the appetite is great. He answered with a smile.
“That’s when I saw the interview with Honey.”
“Ah, huh. That’s when… … .”
the tip of the tongue hangs It was an even more frustrating fight. I glanced at him, and his face was also an embarrassing color.
“You can’t be shy. He looked so confident and good, what?”
“That’s the shame.”
“How are you?”
Si-eun’s cheeks gradually turned pale pink as she was embarrassed to even talk about what it was like.
It’s always been like this since we started dating. Whenever an anecdote from the early days was mentioned, Si-eun responded with embarrassment. It’s a cute memory for me, but I don’t think Si-eun still likes it.
I want to make fun of you more, but for now, it would be better to focus on the movie. He only smiled and turned his gaze forward.
The movie reached the middle.
Two people who had never met each other at any moment got to know each other’s true face. The two are attracted to each other’s unfamiliar side. While confused, they started approaching each other.
Well, well. So far, aren’t they very similar to us? … . In fact, it was at the level of doubting that they were copying us.
With this thought in mind, while trying to pick up a piece of popcorn, Si-eun and her fingers overlapped.
He pulls out his hand and says
“Eat first, honey.”
“it’s okay. eat honey Because I eat a lot at a time.”
I myself know more than one.
It’s a snack for Si-eun, but wouldn’t it be right to give it up to Si-eun as much as possible? With this in mind, no matter how many times I tried to eat first, only one reply came back with sarcasm.
When this happens, there is nothing you can do. I put my hand in the popcorn bucket and took out a popcorn.
after that… … He reached out towards the corner of Si-eun’s mouth.
Si-eun blinked as if wondering.
“what are you doing?”
“To feed you.”
“… … what?”
After a moment of silence, Si-eun burst into laughter. It seemed quite funny that he suddenly said that he would feed him.
Soon, Si-eun opened her small mouth and ate the popcorn. As soon as I entered it, it melted quickly, so I didn’t chew it very much, but it stopped moving.
The mouth soon opened again.
“honey.”
“Uh, why?”
“Give me one more.”
“… … popcorn?”
“yes.”
He nods casually. What are you asking so boldly? For a moment, I was even embarrassed.
I didn’t hate it though. I wonder if they’re trying to use me like a limb. Si-eun eating the food I gave her is also quite lovely.
“okay.”
Si-eun smiled contentedly at my words.
Until all the popcorn ran out, I put the popcorn in Si-eun’s mouth.
Then the film reached its climax.
An insignificant argument escalated, and the two finally stopped seeing each other face to face. No matter how many times we met, we didn’t even look at each other, let alone talk.
uh… … . In this part, it was quite different from ours.
Because we’ve never had a good fight before.

Minor quarrels happen occasionally. There were also many occasions when he relieved Shi-eun tormented by his anger. There have been several experiences of trying to melt Si-eun’s frozen heart in various ways.However, there was no situation enough to call it ‘fighted’. Occasionally, the fight lasted less than an hour. If someone spoke first, the situation was over.
Someday we too… … .
“Will the day come when we fight like that?”
It was Si-eun who asked, not me. When I turned around, Si-eun was looking at me sideways with a very serious face.
It seems that Si-eun also came up with a similar question to me. The couple is said to be of one heart. Is the thought there?
He looked at him sideways and made fun of his mouth.
“Maybe it will be like that in life, right? Your mother was like that too. Love is the heart, but marriage is reality.”
“yes. It did… … .”
Si-eun muttered in a worried tone.
However, I don’t know. I couldn’t imagine it well. Will there ever come a day when Si-eun and I will raise our voices and fight? As I once envisioned it in my head, it seems like I am being attacked by Si-eun’s one-sided attack.
Then, suddenly, I remembered what happened at dinner time.
To Si-eun, who was struggling with having a child, I threw a mean voice several times.
It would have been a story that would have been passed on with a smile if it had been before pregnancy. Si-eun also showed the same reaction as before. “Are you going to be mad at me?” He also offered an opportunity for self-reflection by asking.
However, looking back, it is also true that it was a statement that was not at all meticulous.
“Sorry.”
I know it’s a bit late, but I’m sorry to hear that.
Because it was so sudden, Si-eun’s eyes widened.
“What are you sorry for?”
“I was making fun of you while eating.”
“… … yes?”
Si-eun seemed to be looking back on the past for a moment.
“what. Did you still care about it?”
Then he pokes me in the side with his elbow. The expression on his face seemed to say that he was not absurd.
Then, Si-eun leaned slightly on me.
“it’s okay. I’m not mad. Even if I was angry, I would have forgiven him sooner if he had sincerely reflected on him like I am now.”
“really?”
“Of course. So watch a movie. Don’t say you’re sorry for nothing.”
After this, Si-eun turned her head toward the front.
So, looking ahead, there was still a movie playing on the wall. The two people took turns, realizing that the cause of the quarrel was a small misunderstanding.
I have no idea how the misunderstanding was resolved. I think I missed an important part. As Poetry says, it would be better to focus on the movie.
With that thought in mind, I guess what I’ve been missing for a while.
“lets think. honey.”
Si-eun’s voice continued.
“Buy snacks for me too. They even make a small movie theater like this. You picked up popcorn and fed it instead. … … There are far more things to be grateful for than there are things to be angry about. Why would I be mad?”
It was a warm voice.
In a situation where it wouldn’t be strange to be angry. Si-eun finds a reason to be thankful again.

Maybe this is the reason why Si-eun and I have never had a fight before.“I ate popcorn and I’m full.”
Si-eun leaned back and said as if she was trying to relieve the stiff atmosphere. Since Si-eun can’t be satisfied, it must have been just what he said.
It seemed difficult for him to watch the movie with his head slightly raised in that state. Specifically, it felt like a sore throat.
When I stopped the movie by operating the laptop, Si-eun’s eyes rolled towards me.
“why?”
He goes down under the bed and answers.
“I want to lie down and watch.”
“But why did you stop?”
“Why? You’re trying to shoot it at the ceiling.”
“Is that okay?”
“maybe?”
I’ve never done it though.
It wasn’t impossible, as expected. Turning the projector upwards revealed a screen full of ceilings. The dimmed lights were a bit disturbing, but there were no major problems with visibility.
When she returned to her seat, Si-eun was fully lying down and looking up.
He lay down next to him and took Si-eun’s hand.
Si-eun put the clasp on my hand without even showing a sign of surprise. Now, he seemed to have perfectly adapted to all kinds of skinships.
I moved the opposite hand to play the movie again.
The climax passed and the second half was greeted. Misunderstandings surrounding the two were resolved, and all cases were settled neatly. Eventually, the two confirmed their feelings for each other and began to fall in love.
An epilogue followed with a screen change. While illuminating the main characters who appeared in the movie once. It was the ending that confirmed that everyone was happy.
“thank god.”
Si-eun groaned slightly. The horse was excited.
“Because it’s a happy ending?”
“yes. Everyone is happy.”
“I know.”
I also raised the tone and answered.
In addition to the main couple, the ending that showed laughter to everyone who helped the two.
No pain, no sorrow, no pain. An ending that hints at a future filled with joy and happiness.
It may be a bit overbearing, but it was a pleasant ending for me who watched the entire running time.
Isn’t it even more so for Si-eun?
that day… … The day I confessed to Si-eun. Si-eun was driven to a dead end and was on the verge of giving up.
The fact that Si-eun, who was always positive, showed a good side. It must have meant that he was drowning in the depths of despair.
He seemed to understand why Si-eun welcomes such a happy ending.
“Um, that was fun.”
Si-eun, who shed a soft emotion, tried to get up.
But it must have been difficult for me to get up because I was holding my hand. He lay down on the bed again and looked at me.
“Let me go now. I will make dinner.”
Si-eun smiled and said this.
After breathing for a while, he opened his mouth.
“honey.”
“yes?”
Si-eun tilts her head. The eyes waiting for the next story were shining brightly.
Looking straight into those pretty eyes, he continued.
“Let the honey be happy until the end… … I will try.”
“Uh huh.”
Si-eun looked stunned at the sudden promise. He didn’t let go of his hand, he said something like a movie line. You’d be very upset.
Si-eun then snorted and raised her eyebrows.
“I don’t know why you are like this today.”
It was a playful fight.
“Are you piling up things to be thankful for so that I don’t get angry later?”
“Place it in advance. It’s not even mileage.”
“Well, then, I will have to throw away everything I have accumulated so far.”
“Let’s not do that.”
As soon as he stopped it, Si-eun started to laugh again.
What’s so fun, it’s so big that it makes your shoulders shake.
After that, for a while, we looked at each other all the time and talked pointlessly.
It was a cozy and warm time.
Si-eun’s hand was warm as usual, and the faint sound of breathing tickled her ears.
Our own little cinema.
Because it’s just us, a place where we’re never urged to leave.
A space where we can talk and lie down close together because we are the only ones.
The reason why everyday life, which is really nothing, is so happy is probably… … .
Because Si-eun is by my side, and I am by Si-eun’s side.

May this daily life continue into the distant future.As I looked at Si-eun’s face that smiled at me, I longed for it deep in my heart.
