Preparation: Chapter 141
＜1＞
The first semester has come to an end, and the seasonal semester has also come to an end.
Since July has arrived, Gyeol and I will have to move away from each other for a while in two months.
The time I can spend with Gyeol is decreasing day by day, but I couldn’t easily calm down.
It was already sad and pitiful to have a daily life with no resolution.
The bed I lay with Gyeol.
The sofa I sat with Gyeol.
The table where Gyeol and I ate together.
I had to endure 1 year and 9 months in a house filled with memories of Gyeol and myself.
Still, you have to be strong.
Because the one who suffers the most is Gyeol, not me.
My sadness and pity are only worrying Gyeol right now.
At this point, all I can do is express more to Gyeol and love him more.
I feel uncomfortable because there is nothing I can do other than that, but I decided to spend the present faithfully.
“Eunha, I’ll be back then.”
“Yeah. Take care.”
“I won’t be late.”
“Yes. Have a good trip~”
Today, Gyeol said he was going to have dinner with Yujin Jang.
“I have to stop by my parents’ house.”
While I was alone, I was thinking of going to my parents’ house to pack fall clothes and kimchi that are running out.
I took the subway dressed in comfortable clothes and headed for my hometown.
“What are you doing without a word?”
As soon as I got home, the first thing I saw was my brother lying on the sofa.
“I didn’t come to see you.”
“I didn’t say it because I was happy to see you either.”
“I came to pick it up because I ran out of kimchi at home. Bring some fall clothes at this time.”
“Hangyeol? Didn’t you come with me?”
“Yes. Dinner with a friend.”
I took the kimchi container out of the kitchen drawer and headed for the kimchi refrigerator.
“It’s a pity~ I missed Han-gyeol.”
“I don’t see Hangyul often anymore.”
“Why? Going to the army?!”
I hesitated at the word military.
She nodded as she looked quietly in her brother’s direction.
“Going? When?”
“I think I will go in September. I applied for the Air Force.”
“Wow… Well, at the earliest, people go after the first semester. Can you wait well?”
My brow furrowed at my brother’s question.
“What are you talking about? Of course I won’t wait.”
“At first, everyone says that. My ex-girlfriend said at first, of course, that she Wait.”
My brother turned his gaze back to the television and said.
That’s right. My brother had a girlfriend before enlisting.
However, they broke up when her brother was a corporal.
He didn’t want to touch the painful wound, but he asked cautiously.
“Why did that sister ask her brother to break up?”
“There was something we didn’t understand. Well, now that I think about it, it seemed that way.”
“If there is something we do not understand, we can solve it through dialogue.”
At my words, my brother quietly looked in my direction.
“Does the human heart become that easy?”
“No. It’s not like that, but if you solve it well with dialogue-“
“Isn’t it easy to solve through conversation? You and Hanil are special.”
I guess that’s… Right.
“Then, as an experienced person, do you have any advice? Like how to wait?”
My brother looked at me and said,
“You do what you have to do. I know that Han Kyul is a huge presence in your daily life, but rather than waiting endlessly, time passes quickly if you spend your time doing what you do. Say the same to Han Kyul. It’s good to get at least one really small thing from the army.”
“Gyeol said he would prepare to become a tax accountant in the army.”
“It’s amazing. If you’re in the Air Force, you’ll be on vacation often. Would you sleep out every six weeks? Don’t just think of going to the military, think of it as a long-distance relationship. It’s comfortable to think like that.”
“Really, would that be okay?”
“Wouldn’t it be more safe for Hangyul to study at home rather than hang out? Well, since Han Kyul is a big crowd, I don’t think he would mind too much if you go out to play.”
“I hate that. Of course, she won’t care about Gyeol, but she doesn’t want to do anything that Gyeol would care about.”
“Yes. She just has to do it. She just needs to think that she’s dating like she is now. Imagine seeing her face a little less often.”
My brother looked a little different today.
“But my brother thought this far, why did he break up with his girlfriend?”
“I didn’t know at the time, and I only found out after we broke up. She wouldn’t act like that if she could go back and live her life again.”
“But you have to go back to the army.”
“Holly Shack-! That’s not okay! Never do that again If you have any kids who have served in the military twice, please introduce them.”
“Why?”
“With the mental strength of going to the army twice, is there anything I can’t do? Is it possible to conquer space? You should be friends with someone like that.”
The story suddenly jumped out of the way, but today’s oppa’s words were quite helpful.
“Anyway, thank you for talking to me. That was helpful.”
“Then chicken… Are you buying it?”
“I’ll buy you some cheese balls too.”
“You are my sister.”
I think I know how to act now.

When I got home, I decided to talk with Gyeol before going to bed.
“Gyeolah-!”
“Huh?”
“Sit here.”
I knocked on the side of the sofa.
After washing, Gyeol took a seat next to me.
“Why?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“Yes. What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t Gyeol going to the army in two months?”
“Yes.”
“I made up my mind!”
“What resolution?”
Gyeol tilted her head.
“I will keep in touch with Gyeol often and go on dates with him during my vacation. But let’s not get too caught up in our sense of duty.”
I said, looking straight into Gyeol’s eyes.
“What exactly do you mean by not being obsessed with duty?”
“For example, I would not go on vacation and tell Gyeol to play only with me. If Gyeol wants to be alone, she can rest alone at home, or if she wants to go far to play, she can go.”
“It’s nice to say that. But as I said before, there is no need for Eunha to be too one-sided… “
“Yes! Not being obsessed with a sense of duty is not something that only Gyeol says. I will not be obsessed with a sense of duty. It may sound sad, but if I have circumstances, I might not be able to go on a date with Gyeol, right? Gyeol understands me then.”
Before I could hear Gyeol’s answer, I added her words.
“And Gyeol-ah. Just keep this in mind i love gyeol I will only love Gyeol for the rest of my life. However, until recently, I thought that I had to be considerate of Gyeol, but I think that would make Gyeol feel burdened. I also don’t know if I want to be compensated by Gyeol. So, can I wait for Gyeol with a comfortable mind like now?”
Gyeol’s eyes widened.
I guess you didn’t expect me to say it so bluntly.
“I also don’t want Eunha to overdo it. I think it would be best if you wait like now.”
This time Gyeol continued her words.
“I’m on vacation, but Eunha won’t be sad if she can’t date me. It may be regrettable, but I also want Eunha to wait for me while studying hard like she is now. I will also study hard in the army.”
“Yes! Gyeol works hard wherever he goes.”
I put my hand on Gyeol’s cheek.
“Still, I will visit you at least twice a month.”
“Huh? Are you really okay? If you are far from your own self, you will have a hard time even once a month.”
“Instead, Gyeol spends about an hour on me every day-! Listen to my daily life and tell me about Gyeol’s daily life. How is it? Is it a good deal?”
I clearly conveyed what I wanted to Gyeol so that he wouldn’t feel burdened.
“If you want to contact me more?”
“Tell me you want to contact me more.”
“But what if Eunha is busy?”
“You can talk more the next day~”
I answered with a smile.
Gyeol also continued her words, as if I was convinced after seeing her face.
“Are you serious? Can’t we just say this and be considerate of Eunha?”
“Yes! Don’t worry!”‘
Gyeol smiled as if he was happy to hear my answer.
She quietly wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me into a hug.
“Thank you. For saying so.”
“Don’t say anything~ Gyeol-ah. Then let’s go on another trip before we enlist in the army!”
“Okay~ Where do you like to go?”
“Um~ Busan?! I want to see the sea again.”
“Busan is good. What do you want to do in Busan?”
“I want to give shrimp crackers to seagulls.”
Gyeol heard me and burst out laughing.
“Puhahahaha! What is that?! Is that all?”
“Why are you laughing?! I only saw it on video. I mean, I’ve never given it. It looked like a lot of fun…!”
“It’s not giving, it’s ripping? What if I take away the shrimp crackers to eat with Eunha?”
“At such times, the nape of the neck is tight! You can catch it.”
“It won’t be as easy as you think~”
“Somehow I feel like I can do it.”

Gyeol smiled and kissed my forehead.
“Sometimes you look at it like crazy.”
“Since you talk about shrimp crackers, I want to eat shrimp crackers.'”
“Shall we go out and buy shrimp crackers? I’ll buy you a cold beer.”
“It’s great~ Let’s get out quickly!”
“I have to wash again.”
I whispered in Gyeol’s ear.
“Do you want to wash together?”
“I want to wash first.”
“No way~ Shrimp crackers come first~”
“Okay. Let’s get out quickly.”
“Yes!”
