18. Unexpected Things (feat. Han Seo-ah)
The reason why I want to be called noona.
Is there any woman who can say that with certainty?
Maybe not.
First of all, I’m not one of those girls.
It was just the result of acting according to my heart.
I want to make fun of Lee Si-woo, who hates such titles.
I want to cherish Siwoo, who came up quietly from the depths of my heart, like her little brother.
The former’s heart could have been bigger.
Perhaps the latter’s heart could have been greater.
The relationship between Han Seo-ah and Lee Si-woo is like that.
More than friends, less than lovers.
Is there a sentence that can better describe our relationship than this?
Maybe this isn’t there either.
Because that sentence is at a level that would make him nod even if he told that idiot Lee Siu.
Lee Si-woo and Han Seo-ah were ordinary childhood friends.
It’s simply because it’s close to my house.
It’s simply because my parents are close.
So, by chance, we became friends with ordinary childhood friends.
Of course, even this would be unusual for ordinary people.
At least from the point of view of us who have been together for a long time, it was a very ordinary and ordinary thing.
And, I didn’t like Siwoo Lee from the start.
I also have a thing called eyes.
How could such an idiot be liked?
I’m always late because I’m lazy.
Let alone pretty things, I keep picking and doing annoying things.
I like games more than studying.
······Thinks of me as more important than other kids.
Such an idiot.
Yes. It was like this.
This was the naive me who was possessed by a fire fox named Lee Siu.
Usually, I only choose unlikable actions.
When it’s really important, he always takes care of it first, making my heart flutter.
There was no way I, a mother who had never been in a relationship even though I had confessed, could endure such a thing.
The fact that he refused to confess was all because of Lee Siwoo.
Lee Si-woo actually looked at me and said, ‘Wow, are you kicked again? You’re amazing too.’ I am doing this
I was really the biggest fool in the world.
Also, I didn’t think it was Siwoo Lee’s sole fault.
It is also true that I have not yet properly conveyed this feeling.
A confession that others make easily.
It was like a very difficult ordeal for me.
Even if you decide to do it today.
If you stood in front of Lee Si-woo, it wouldn’t come out of your mouth at all.
Then Lee Si-woo said, ‘What, why did you call me?’ If so.
I couldn’t answer that properly and said, ‘I’m going home after playing with a friend today.’ It was like this.
I knew it was my fault.
I knew that it was my fault that I became a fool only at times like this, even though I usually acted like a person who was more active than anyone else.
However, it was also true that I felt resentful.
How can you be so careless?
If you pretended to try so many times, shouldn’t you know at least once?
It was also true that these resentments were directed at Siwoo Lee.
– ······Really?
– Uh. Go first today
– Well, sorry. I’m bored when I go without you.
– ···.
Of course, it was just resentment that disappeared as soon as I received the warm Siwoo I explained earlier.
How is that a person?
Aren’t you a fox with nine tails?
I wouldn’t have given up long ago if it wasn’t for Siwoo Lee’s words that pop out from time to time.
I was afraid of failing in my confession.
Because I’m afraid of being rejected and losing the friend I’ve been with almost my whole life.
So I guess I didn’t close my heart.
It was Siwoo Lee’s fault.
It was Lee Si-woo’s fault who kept leaving room for him by showing him more than being treated as a childhood friend.
– Just once. Because I don’t want it twice.
– ······What is that?”
– Please call me sister just once.
This time, too, it was the same as what he did because of his grumpiness.
At first, of course, it was a joke.
It was a bit sincere, but it was a prank because I knew that Lee Si-woo was not the kind of person who would say such a thing.
– Yes, Eugene noona.
– He’s a good boy. Siwoo’s younger brother.
However, when I saw that figure, the switch was slightly pushed.
There were also complaints about Lee Si-woo, who said that the word sister would not stick to him even if he died.
Rather than that, I was more annoyed that Yujin unnie called Siwoo Lee as her younger sister in a way that was easy in the world.
I also want to consider Siwoo like a little brother.
I also want to cherish Siwoo as cute as her little brother.
– Hey, Siwoo Lee. Call me sister too.
-Eugene unnie calls her noona, but why can’t I?
So, I forced myself a little.
He knew better than anyone that Lee Si-woo hated this kind of situation more than anyone else, but he insisted.
Of course there was fear.
Because this time it was definitely worse than the usual grumbling against Siwoo.
The worry of ‘What if Siwoo hates me?’ Was always planted in my head.
As expected, Siwoo Lee frowned and asked if that made sense.
We started arguing as usual on the spot.
Now it’s like a daily fight.
A quarrel that comes from the history of going to school, class, and leaving school together for 10 years.
After arguing for so long, the opportunity finally came.
– For today, I want you to call each other sister and brother.
Eugene unnie declared that she would no longer see our bickering.
It was unexpected.
Eugene I knew unnie would be angry, but I never thought that she would help me to this extent.
– ······Siwoo oppa.
But I wasn’t one to miss this opportunity.
I was very embarrassed.
It was the first time in my life that I called Siwoo my brother.
However, the sense of accomplishment was as great as it was embarrassing.
As soon as he heard his brother’s voice, Siwoo’s face turned red, and he was happy just looking at it.
I felt like I wanted to bow to Eugene.
Because it was the first time I’ve been with Siwoo as childhood friends and it’s the first time I’ve had such a reaction.
Thinking that I should buy some food later, I took Siwoo’s hand, which was as hard as a stone, and left Yujin’s sister’s shop.
After leaving the shop, I headed towards the shaved ice shop I was talking about earlier.
My heart didn’t calm down enough to go home right away, and there were still things I needed to hear from Siwoo Lee.
Lee Siu also kept his mouth shut at first.
He was determined to never open his mouth, as if he had lost his speech.
– ······Seoah’s older sister.
– ······Yes, Siwoo oppa.
Although that will didn’t last long.
I still wondered how he lost his will so quickly.
If I knew Siwoo Lee, he would really be a human being who wouldn’t say a word until he got home.
Of course, I didn’t pay much attention.
Anyway, my purpose was to hear the word sister from Siwoo Lee.
I was happy and happy at that moment, so I went to the shaved ice shop I had seen before without thinking deeply.
– ······Lee Si-woo?
– Why are you calling me all of a sudden this time?
– Why is there only one spoon?”

And then, the situation finally arrived.
– ······Why is there only one of these?
– ······How do I know that? You idiot.
I was so embarrassed that I decided to reduce it as much as possible, but the word idiot just popped out.
It felt like I was reliving something that had happened a while ago.
At a cafe Siwoo visited, they were treated as a couple and drank coffee from the same cup.
At that time, too, I was so shy that I woke up as soon as I took a bite.
When I saw him doing this again, I even thought that someone was watching me and Siwoo Lee.
Fortunately, Siwoo Lee returned with a new spoon right away, so the worry did not happen.
To be honest, even at this time, I didn’t really care.
If the opponent is Siu, it doesn’t matter much if he uses the same spoon.
I was just angry at Siwoo, asking him to bring a spoon for hygiene.
I was sure it was just that.
I’m sure it was just that level of grumpiness.
– Then, what? Should be left Or should I feed myself?
– ······Or so.
– ······ Huh?
– Did you feed it? Because my wrist hurts
Somehow, I ended up in a situation where I asked Siwoo to scoop it up.
Still, this was just a joke.
As I said before, it’s a prank that I can do because I know Siwoo Lee won’t do it anyway.
So, the next situation meant that I was not expecting it either.
I really didn’t know.
I didn’t expect Siwoo Lee to listen to me and come to me with shaved ice with a spoon.
And I didn’t even know that I would accept and eat it without saying anything.
I should have refused.
I should have been angry about that, saying what a shame.
Drunken with the atmosphere.
Drunken by Siwoo’s black eyes looking at me.
Like a baby bird receiving food from a mother bird, she quietly received and ate the shaved ice.
– ······I go first.
– I paid the bill earlier, so finish eating and leave.
After a moment of silence, Siwoo Lee stood up first, covering his face.
“·······Yes.”
I nodded slightly at his words and sat there blankly.
“······In the end, what if I scoop out what you ate and give it to me. You stupid idiot.”
Feeling deep inside that the previous spoon commotion was meaningless.
Despite the fact that I ate cold and refreshing shaved ice.
It was a day when I felt like my face was about to explode because it was so hot.
