47 – Chapter 47: Breath Holding
＜1＞
It was the day to eat salmon, which we talked about on weekdays.
Since early morning, Eunha and I have been shopping at a large mart.
I dragged the cart and looked around the Eunha Mart, picking up things.
“Um- I’ve never used tsuyu before. Shall we use this opportunity? How is Hanil?”
“Huh? Can you explain what tsuyu is?”
“It is used to make sauce for salmon rice bowl.”
“Is that all you need to do?”
“Hmm- the recipe I looked for was made with soy sauce.”
“Then let’s use soy sauce.”
“Why?”
Eunha looked at me questionably.
“Well, even if you live for Tsuyu, wouldn’t there be nothing to write about other than today?”
“I thought I would do it often because Hangyul likes it?”
I was caught off guard again.
My heart flutters, really.
“Then let’s go to Tsuyuro. Isn’t that enough for her?”
“Hmm- Hey, onion, do you want to buy a pack of radish sprouts while you’re at home?”
“Then. It would look pretty on top of salmon rice bowl.”
“It was across the vegetable section. Let’s go.”
As Eunha walked forward, she naturally crossed her arms around mine.
I was a bit surprised by the natural skinship, but I didn’t bother to mention it in words.
I just kept pace and walked to the vegetable section.
Because they are like this, they look like a married couple.
Upon arriving at the vegetable corner, Eun-ha put a pack of radish sprouts into her cart without hesitation.
“It’s not even seasoned… Now I can buy salmon. Aren’t you going to buy something else?”
“Wouldn’t this be enough? Can I just buy the salmon?”
“Hmm- I saw that it was supposed to be pickled in salt, but can I use kosher salt?”
“Yes. I think I’ve heard that it’s not good to use coarse salt. Shall we go then?”
I was about to turn the cart, but Eunha blankly looked at me.
As I slowly lifted his arm to the side, Eunha silently put his arm between my arm and my torso.
“Didn’t you cross your arms without saying anything before?”
“Would you mind not mentioning it? It was quite courageous, but Han Kyul didn’t respond.”
“Did you see that? In my heart, I was delighted because I liked it.”
“If you like it, express it as good. Sometimes, Han Kyul doesn’t express himself any more.”
“Shouldn’t there be times when you are relaxed and naturally pass over?”
“Hmm- I heard and saw it. So? Isn’t it uncomfortable to have your arms crossed?”
“Not at all. And-“
I’m only a high school student, but is it a little harsh to say that we’re like a married couple?
It’s still a long way from getting married, and it’s better to avoid saying things like that without any preparation-
“They say they look like a married couple?”
“Oh-! What. How did you know?”
I looked at the galaxy in surprise.
“Hangyeol was written on his face?”
“Did you even learn mind reading?”
“I must have learned that from Han Kyul.”
“You only say things that make my heart flutter. Do you go to school?”
To my words, Eunha smiled and replied.
“The school fees were quite expensive.”
I accept this.
Why are you so kind?
Even jokes that seemed uninteresting to others were fun to do with Eunha.
That’s how I bought my last salmon and came out with a full shopping cart.
It was a little heavy, but I wanted to show a strong image in front of Eunha, so I took the shopping cart to myself.
“Hangyeol-ah. Isn’t it heavy? Shall we go together?”
“Not at all? Is it very light? It’s lighter than when I picked up the Eunha reference book then, so what?”
“Right. When I met Han-gyeol at the bookstore, I was embarrassed because he was dressed so laggy.”
“If you are dressed like that, is there a big gap with the slackness I know? She was pretty even then.”
At my words, Eun-ha averted her gaze, perhaps ashamed.
“I was wearing a hat and barely dressed…”
“You are shy again. It’s time to get used to it.”
“How do you get used to things like this… I don’t think I will get used to it until I die.”
“Are you planning to live together until you die?”
“Yes. Because I have no intention of breaking up.”
Horses have bones…
It was said by Eunha, and the weight of the words felt very heavy.
“Then make me a salmon bowl every morning.”
“Then, Han Kyul should make tteokbokki for dinner.”
“I am a business that makes too much money? It’s okay to ask for more.”
“Hmm- I’ll think about it a little more.”
My heart kept pounding as soon as I saw the smiling Eunha.
“Does Eunha like tteokbokki the best?”
“Yes. I have eaten it often since I was little, but I never get tired of it.”
“Then, shall I make tteokbokki for you tomorrow?”
At my words, Eunha stared at my face.
And she responded with a pleasant smile.
“Good.”

As soon as I got home, I washed her hands and headed to the kitchen with Eunha.
Eunha would do almost anything, but she didn’t want to leave Eunha alone in the kitchen.
I also agreed to help her wash her hands, wash her vegetables, and trim ingredients.
“Eunha. What should I do first?”
“Can you peel the onion first? I think one or two will suffice.”
“Yes, yes. Let me know if you need anything else.”
“Yes. I think you should do it step by step. There is still time to pickle salt anyway, so take it easy.”
I was cooking with Eunha in the kitchen when I heard a loud voice from the living room.
From noble mt dot com
“Hey, there are days like this in my life. Because of Han Kyul, I try to eat all the salmon from my younger brother! Thank you! Hangyul, you are a lucky charm that came to our house. If it’s okay, would you like to live from today?”
It was Eunwoo hyung sitting on the sofa.
He was smiling brightly, but it was a hearty laugh that was very different from Eunha’s.
“Ah- really! Don’t talk nonsense to Han Kyul! If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s the little sister who never cooked for me!”
“Then you would have done it if I had asked for salmon rice bowl? Sincerity? Real? Are you betting?”
“I didn’t have to starve. Why do I have to put so much effort into it?”
Eunha said in a cold tone for a moment, and Eunwoo hyung immediately moved his gaze toward me.
“Hangyeol-ah. What did you say last time? What is my sister kindness? Kind?”
“That… I guess it was only about me. And I like that too.”
“It is a deep love.”
“That’s right.”
When I had a conversation with Eunwoo hyung, Eunha immediately intervened.
“Hangyeol-ah. Don’t deal with it, let’s do our own thing.”
“Yes, yes. Oh, can’t you see Hyeon-ju noona?”
“I had to postpone my tutoring in the morning to the evening, so I told her to come on time. I will be back soon.”
“I ordered something too difficult.”
“What do you care about? Ah- Gyeol-ah, tie the strings of my apron.”
Eunha put a sea-blue apron around her neck and handed me a string.
Calm down. There is no selfishness in Eunha’s actions now.
It was a very embarrassing situation, but I carefully tied the string as Eunha requested.
“Thank you.”
“No. I am grateful.”
“Huh? Why Hanil?”
“Just… Thank you.”
Sincerely.
Incredibly.
“Kiya~ Gyeol-ah. You ordered that apron after thinking about it for two hours? I know?”
“Oh-?”
When I sneakily looked at Eunha, Eunha’s face was on the verge of exploding.
Eun-ha carefully placed his knife on the cutting board and ran into the living room.
“Hey, you crazy bastard! Why say that! Why are you talking!”
Eunha started beating Eunwoo who was sitting on the sofa.
At first, it started with kicking, but he started hitting Eunwoo hyung’s arm countless times with his fist.
Nevertheless, Eunwoo hyung was enjoying the world with a happy smile.
“Ahahahaha-! Now I’m happy even if I get hit~! Ahahahaha!”
“You are really cheap even if you are right!”
“Ouch! Hey! Bone! It was boned!”
“I was aiming for it. Keep quiet!”
Eunwoo finally got up from the sofa and ran to his room.
The door was locked with a click, but Eun-ha knocked on the door, perhaps in anger.
“Open up when something good is said.”
If I laugh now, I will die too.
Let’s be patient. This is the most difficult laugh time of the year.
“This…!”
The appearance of this kind of galaxy is cute, but I couldn’t keep the salmon at room temperature all the time.
I quietly grabbed Eunha’s hand and led her to the kitchen.
“Eunha. Let’s do our own thing.”
“Ah- yes…!”
Originally, I would have brought up the apron one more time here, but…
Instinct spoke. If you make fun of me now, it will be me who is put on the cutting board.
There was a hint of calming down a bit, but Eunha seemed very shy.
With an expression like this, it’s hard to give compliments saying that you look good together.
The back of Eunha, who returned to the kitchen, caught my eye.
I was confused whether I was embarrassed or really angry with Eunwoo hyung.
First of all, I sat down on the kitchen chair because I thought it was urgent to relieve Eunha.
“I’m going to cut the onions first, so the galaxy sit down for a while.”
“Yes…”
I left the still shy Eunha and headed to the sink first.
He cut off the top and root of a large onion with a knife and fixed his knife.
Sugsssss- Peeling the onion skins with a slightly awkward hand gesture.
Is it right to take it off like this… It feels kind of awkward.
Mr. Baek Jong-won is very good at stripping.
It was a time when I was peeling the skins of onions with such useless thoughts.
I heard signs of a galaxy rising behind me.
I wonder if I’ve calmed down a bit…!
The galaxy came straight to me and wrapped its arms around my waist.
“Are you Eunha?”
“···”
Eunha buried her face in my back and hugged me tighter without saying a word.
“Are you Eunha?”
“…”
Silence came over the noisy kitchen a few minutes ago.
Gulp- and dry saliva went down her throat, but the galaxy did not let me go.
After about a minute of silence, the galaxy slipped away from me.
I was curious about Eunha’s expression right now, but mine was also in a serious state.
In the end, time passed without even facing Eunha or thinking of words that would change the atmosphere.
Before long, the sound of Eunha walking backwards reached his eardrum, and the sound changed to the sound of running away to his room.
It’s only after the door closes with a tak! I sighed and sat down in front of the sink.
“I almost died…”
In the end, I had to peel the onions and salt the salmon.
