＜Episode 56＞ Si-eun’s house 1
the next morning.
We got up early and got on the bus.
Si-eun said that the bus does not go to the area where her house is located. When I looked at the timetable, it was as they said. One in the morning, one in the morning and a few in the afternoon. If the timing is wrong, you may have to wait a long time.

Maybe it’s okay to leave in the afternoon and go back slowly. I tried to express such an opinion, but Si-eun shook her head.“Our house is not spacious, so it will be uncomfortable. It would be better to go as short as possible.”
“it’s okay. I also lived in a small house when I was young, well. furthermore.”
Let me add one word.
“I go to the house of the person I like. Even if it’s a little narrow, can you complain?”
“What a squeaking noise all of a sudden.”
Si-eun wrapped her arms around my arms to see if she had goosebumps. I didn’t expect it to be touched, but it makes me sad when the reaction is so cold.
But it was. It seems that there was a period when Si-eun was blunt for a while. My heart was always full of love. It was simply because I was shy to reveal it.
And now it’s over. Taking this trip as an opportunity, I decided not to spare my affection. It would have been better for me and Si-eun to convey her love without hiding it.
“Anyway.”
Si-eun took her luck as if she was arranging the story.
“Let’s just say it’s only two days away. That’s enough to be able to talk to my mom.”
“Um, yes.”
In this way, the ending was decided according to Si-eun’s will. It’s only a two-day trip and then a return trip. After all, my main purpose was to see my mother, so I had nothing to refuse.
By the time the conversation was over, I felt a bit nauseous.
“Ugh.”
When I turned on the stretch, a sound of pain came out without me knowing.
Not only the limbs, but also the stomach and back, the whole body was covered with eggs, and the muscles ached. Even if you move your body slightly, the sound of a grandfather with a backache comes out.
For me, who was reluctant to exercise, Si-eun’s Spartan swimming class seemed daunting. … … Well, of course, it’s not just about that.
To me like that, Si-eun said with worried eyes.
“What kind of wind suddenly made you decide to go see your mother?”
“You originally planned to go.”
“I’m asking because it didn’t have to be today.”
Si-eun snorted. Well, that’s what I heard.
After that, Si-eun, who threw her gaze out the window, continued.
“I’m fine now, but you’ve been sitting all the time and working out after a long time. You still look tired. Was there any reason to go right away?”
“just. Beef horns should also be pulled out in a short time. After staying at home, I went somewhere once, so I decided to go to your house as well.”
“Hmm.”
How come you can’t believe it? It’s actually an excuse though.

My friend was talking about marriage, so I just thought that I should visit Si-eun’s mother. Isn’t Si-eun’s mother sick? Even if there were no immediate problems, it would have been better to hurry.So, I think it would be good to talk about this as well.
“there.”
“why?”
Si-eun still looks out and answers.
I said in a flat tone.
“After this time, can you come to my house with me?”
Si-eun snapped at my words and turned her head. A slightly surprised expression faces me.
“Are you at your house?”
“okay.”
Didn’t my mom ever tell me to bring her back? During the semester, I will be very busy, so it will be impossible. If so, I had no choice but to go there before the vacation was over.
Above all, in order for us to be together even in the distant future… … First of all, shouldn’t we say hello to each other’s parents?
“Oh, tell me if you don’t like it. I don’t like it, but I don’t want to take it away.”
“no. I don’t like it. I want to see your parents too. I also want to see the house.”
While saying that, Si-eun lowered her eyes.
“But, I don’t have pretty clothes… … .”
“What?”
I don’t have pretty clothes. So, what do you usually wear?
Looking at her face, Si-eun had a worried expression on her face.
The thought of going to see my parents made me worry. My parents are far from being strict, so I think they would laugh even if they wore unusual clothes.
So no need to worry at all.
With my heart like this, I held Si-eun’s hand tightly.
“it’s okay. Everything you wear is pretty.”
“… … At times like this, we just talk like that every day.”
“I’ve been thinking about it since we first met. For clothes, hangers are important.”
“Then, from the first time we met, did you think I was pretty?”
“Well, yes.”
Si-eun is a pretty woman. No matter who you ask, you will get the same answer. Even in a country that was not interested in women, there was that much recognition.
There are some areas where I am a bit embarrassed to try to tell myself with my own mouth. Because I decided not to spare my expression in the future. said without hiding.
Si-eun opened her mouth as if surprised by my words, and then smiled softly.
“okay.”
Then with a smirk.
“I’ll go with you, pretty.”
“… … okay.”
Thank you so much for coming with me, pretty.
Which bus terminal we arrived at soon.
The terminal, which was built in a secluded location, looked quite old. The exterior walls were also fading away as if they were dusty. It definitely feels like a country town.
“Let’s go to the hospital first.”
Si-eun took my hand and spoke.
“Aren’t you going home?”
“yes. The meeting time is set. I don’t always stay at home this vacation, so I want to see my mom as much as possible.”
“Ugh.”
I also want to talk with Si-eun’s mother for a long time. Eventually, our first destination was a hospital.
Wanting to take a taxi, I approached the stopped taxi, but Si-eun shook her head. There is quite a bit of distance from here, so it was better to take a bus.
It’s annoying if it’s far away, so isn’t it better to take a taxi? Still, Si-eun, a native of this place, is probably more right than me. Following Si-eun’s words, we got on the city bus.
A few dozen minutes of chatting and moving. Suddenly, a large hospital appeared outside the window. Seeing Si-eun pressing the stop button, it seemed like her mother was here.
Being hospitalized in a large hospital far from home… … It must mean that it is a rather large disease.
With that thought in mind, I got off the bus with Si-eun.
Looking back, I had never been to such a large hospital before.
Patients who wear a ringer and even crying guardians. Unlike me, who was bewildered by the unfamiliar scenery, Si-eun quietly moved on. Have you been to the hospital often enough to get used to this look?
Si-eun got on the elevator and chose the number of floors.
When the door was open, people who looked like nurses were busy making fun of their keyboards.
One of them raised his head and greeted Si-eun.
“Si-eun, are you here again?”
“Ahaha, hello.”
After returning Si-eun’s friendly smile, the nurse immediately opened her eyes. My direction was towards me.
Their eyes met and I had no choice but to say hello.
“Ah, hello.”
“Um~ yes, hello~”
It was an official smile. sorry. because it sucks
walk along the hallway
The door to the hospital room was lined up along one wall. In the ward, which I saw as I passed by, the patients were smiling while watching TV. I don’t know where the sick people are, but I’m glad they looked happy.
After a while, Si-eun’s feet stopped.
“Here.”
Hearing those words, I read the writing in front of the hospital room. The written name is ‘Yoo Ha-yeon’. Is it your mother’s name?
“I’ll go in.”
“Uh huh.”
You are really seeing Si-eun’s mother now. Suddenly, I was nervous, and my voice shook without realizing it.
Upon hearing this, Si-eun glanced up at me.
“Why are you so frozen?”
“It’s natural because I was nervous.”
“Because it’s okay. My mother, you have a good personality, and you will soon feel relieved.”
“Anyway, she’s my girlfriend’s mother… … .”
But, well, I think Si-eun must have been like this before. Since I’ve come this far, I have no choice but to calm down and see my mother. After taking a few deep breaths, he sent an OK sign.
Soon, Si-eun pushed the door of the hospital room.
A small hospital room with a window. Sitting inside was a woman who looked exactly like Si-eun.
As soon as I saw it, the first thought crossed my mind that this person must be Si-eun’s mother. Even if they ran into each other on the way, they were a mother and daughter who looked alike. Si-eun seemed to resemble her mother more than her father.
“Mom. I’m here.”
It was a voice I had never heard before. It’s like a childish voice, mixed with some foolishness.

Mother, who looked at us and blinked as if surprised, soon smiled.“Oh my goodness. Is our Si-eun here? … … And this handsome young man.”
It looks like you’ve noticed everyone’s faces, but I’m going to have to say hello formally.
He scratched the back of his head and bowed his head.
“I, that… … Si-eun’s boyfriend is Lee Hwi-min.”
After hesitating words, my mother covered her mouth and laughed. The wind fluttered the ringer’s cord on his forearm.
Si-eun said as she grabbed her mother’s arm and lowered it.
“It’s the boyfriend I talked about last time.”
“You mean Si-eun is your boyfriend?”
“… … yes.”
Si-eun’s cheeks turn red with every word she said. You’re probably not used to talking about your boyfriend to your mother.
On the other hand, my mother had a lot of laughter on her face because she was having so much fun.
Then the face looks straight up at me.
“I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Uh, what about me?”
“okay. How many months ago, Si-eun praised you like that. He’s handsome, he’s good at studying, and sometimes it’s funny because he makes weird noises.”
“Mom… … !”
Si-eun, who looked puffy, her mother stroked her with a benevolent smile. They are really good friends Do I have to tell my parents about me too? I get a little reflection.
Is it so shameful that I praised my mother? Si-eun opened her mouth with her head bowed as if trying to hide her red cheeks.
“When did you say you wanted to see me? So I brought it.”
“okay. That’s cool. A few months ago, Hwimin and Hwimin started talking, so I asked what kind of child he was.”
“Mom!”
Now pout your lips. My mother looked at me as if trying to escape from her face.
“okay. As Si-eun says handsome with face It’s good to stretch your body. I really remember Si-eun’s dad when he was young.”
“Oh, yes. Go, thank you.”
As she bowed her head in embarrassment to express her gratitude, her mother smiled afterward.
“It’s the same as Si-eun’s father being so shy~”
If so, I think my father must have been a bit embarrassed when I first met my mother… … .

Mother in a kind voice.“You say you’re good to our Si-eun? I heard everything.”
did you hear it all I don’t know how far Si-eun passed it on to her mother. Did we even talk about living together?
I glanced at Si-eun. Si-eun had now turned her head out of the window. I don’t think you have the heart to make eye contact with me.
I decided to just take my heart out.
“I haven’t done anything. Si-eun must have done a lot more for me.”
I cook for you, and do laundry and cleaning. I didn’t want to, but I also talked to him. She was a very good girlfriend for me.

My mother, who looked at me slowly, covered her mouth.“Oh my gosh, I think my heart rate is going up because it’s cute. Maybe I should call the nurse, sweetheart.”
You’re telling all the damn jokes.
Si-eun, who had returned to her usual form, opened her mouth with a pouty face.
“Mom. I told you not to say that.”
“Hey, it’s a joke, it’s a joke.”

Mother wiped Si-eun’s back. Accepting it without avoiding it, Si-eun took a deep breath.“okay. But don’t do it in the future.”
Seeing Si-eun like that, my mother smiled afterward.
“Our Si-eun, are you pretending to be cool in front of your boyfriend? I usually just ask for a hug.”
“Mom… … !”
At these words, Si-eun fell into tears again.
Is this your mother’s age? The ability to handle Si-eun didn’t want anyone to beat her mother. It means that you have been living with Si-eun for over 20 years. You may have at least Si-eun’s instruction manual.
He said with admiration in his heart.
“mother.”
“yes?”

Mother tilted her head and asked.I bow my head.
“I will learn a lot.”
“yes? … … Ah yes That’s right.”
Could it be telepathy? My mother accepted me as a disciple with a smile.
However, the rest of the people in the hospital room, Si-eun, did not seem to understand the meaning of those words. Si-eun looked at me and her mother in turn and said, “What the hell are you going to learn?” asked.
well I won’t teach you.
