chocolate.
Fresh fresh fruits and berry-like dried fruits.
And even plain biscuits.
All of them were chosen by Soyeon.
While I was quietly pulling the cart, I spoke to Min So-yeon, who was choosing a cake at the bread corner.
“… So Yeon-ah. What is all this?”
Then, Min So-yeon, who was in the middle of choosing a cake, glanced at me and said something out of the ordinary.
“… Shall we live with chocolate flavor?”
“uh?”
“… I will live on my own.”
Then he picked up the cake he was looking at and put it in the cart.
When I glanced inside the cart, the word ‘Chocolate Cake’ was written on the cake box.
it’s sweet again
I’ve been thinking about it for a while, wondering if it’s some kind of day, but no matter how much I think about it, there is no such thing as a birthday or a special day.
It just means that Soyeon randomly chose it.
I followed Min So-yeon, who had gone ahead, and carefully opened my mouth.
“Soyeon-ah. Haven’t you bought too many snacks? Shall I take a little off?”
“… I just bought it.”
There’s a lot of dislike in the way you talk.
I slowly pulled the cart, slowed it down, and spoke cautiously as if swearing at her.
“Then, let’s buy only what we need to eat right away, and leave out chocolates and biscuits. I’ll make dinner delicious. yes?”
Then, Min So-yeon pouted her lips and made eye contact with her.
“… I want to eat this today.”
A firm gaze that will never back down.
Normally, I would have tried negotiating or just listened, but I don’t think that’s the case today.
“… great. Instead of buying it all, you have to eat a lot tonight. Understand?”
“… yes.”
Whatever it is, it seems to be infinitely retreating to Soyeon.
So on the way back from shopping.
As she got out of the taxi and was about to enter the house, Min So-yeon suddenly put her luggage down and approached the delivery box.
… huh?
rumble-
Then I pulled out a box about the size of me from the delivery box, and was wheezing as if it was quite heavy.
In the end, not being able to see, I quickly put down my luggage, approached her and took the box.
Heaviness as if holding a small child.
It also feels like something is swaying inside.
“Soyeon-ah. what’s this?”
“… A gift from a friend.”
friend?
I glanced away and looked at the name written on the invoice.
[ From: Lee Yeon-doo To: Min So-yeon Content: liquids ]
Yeon-doo Lee.
Last time, I was the person who sent you an unknown ‘gift’.
What kind of friend sent this to you?

After moving everything to the kitchen with Soyeon.
We quickly sorted out the things we bought at the mart,
While I was cleaning up, Soyeon moved the parcel to the living room and checked the contents.
Meanwhile.
… huh?
Soyeon suddenly appeared in the kitchen and quietly took out a cup and approached the water purifier.
shape-form-form-form-
A cup filled with cool water.
She swallowed the water with a quick tap on her head, as if taking medicine.
gulp-
“Whoa… .”
Frowning as if she had eaten something wrong, she drank all the water left in the cup, muttered as if rinsing her mouth, and then swallowed it.
I watched her silently, and asked her a question.
“… what did you eat?”
Then, Min So-yeon was startled, and she looked at me and denied it.
“… no?”
Like a child who did something bad, it looked like he was in strong denial, as if he was trying to hide something.
As I looked at her, I turned my gaze away, remembering that my wife also ate something secretly from time to time.
It’s like buying a lot of sweet stuff, and it’s not unusual to take medicine at a very sensitive time.
I pretended not to know anything, prepared to stop cooking, and naturally changed the topic.
“… Have you opened the courier? Can I ask you what?”
Then Min So-yeon put the cup into the sink and answered indifferently.
“… alcohol.”
alcohol… .
alcohol… ?
no wait. drink?
I paused for a moment, looked back at Min So-yeon and asked again carefully.
“What, have you come?”
“… It’s alcohol.”
I hurriedly took off my apron and headed to the living room with Min So-yeon.
and.
“… what is this.”
I was shocked to see the items inside the parcel.
Countless wine bottles and glasses lined up on the living room floor, making you wonder how they put them in.
It was really drunk.
I narrowed my forehead involuntarily and made a serious expression, and carefully asked Min So-yeon.
“… This is from a friend, right?”
Then she nodded her head with a nonchalant face and answered instead.
Feeling dizzy all of a sudden, I sat down on the sofa, holding my head, and slowly turned my head.
friend.
Obviously, I said that a person named ‘Lee Yeon-doo’ was a friend.
He was probably one of the people he said he met right before going to Toyland.
They said that they already had tattoos, so I knew they were unusual friends, but I didn’t know they were rogue teenagers who even drink like this.
okay… , I thought something was strange.
The reason Soyeon smoked was because she had all the bad friends.
But I can’t tell Soyeon, who doesn’t have other friends, not to contact her friends… .
Looking at the fancy bottles that could only be used in a club, I was in serious trouble.
Min So-yeon quietly sat down next to her and spoke in a soft voice.
“… Shall we have just one drink?”
It was like a devil’s voice that seduced me sweetly.
I glanced at her sitting next to me, and spoke carefully in a tone that was as calm as possible.
“… So Yeon-ah. this is alcohol I don’t think so.”
“… why?”
Why!
I was very embarrassed by Min So-yeon’s reaction that she did not understand.
How can I explain this obvious thing?
I thought for a long time to convince her that the fire had caught on, but on the contrary, I turned the topic and handed her a question.
“… Have you ever drank?”
“… no.”
Judging from his eyes, it seemed he had never really drank.
If you’ve already smoked and drunk… .
Maybe my heart was broken.
“Then, I don’t even know how much you drink?”
“… Mom, I don’t know.”
Min So-yeon is slightly depressed.
I rallied and gave her reasons not to drink.
“There is a saying that you should learn alcohol from your parents. It’s not just a saying, it’s because you don’t know what injections you have or how much you can drink. I’ve never been drunk, so I can’t afford to take care of you.”
Then Min So-yeon muttered a little bit… .
“… Then go.”
Unexpectedly, it came out strong.
“… uh?”
“Go. I will drink.”
“… Now, wait, Soyeon-ah. It’s too early for us to drink already, and later with my parents… .”
“It’s like telling an adult to learn to drink. I’m going to call my friends for a drink, so you go home.”
… what, what? Who are you calling? No, he’s really… !
“Soyeon-ah, they are friends… . Were those friends supposed to be adults?”
“All of them are older than me and have more experience, so you can drink with them. I’ll have to buy you a cigarette when you come… .”
Then he started looking around for his cell phone as if he was really calling his friends.
Terrified by the talk of cigarettes, I hurriedly grabbed her wrist,
She sat down on the sofa helplessly, as if waiting for her to catch her.
“Come on, wait a minute, Soyeon-ah. do you really want to call me? Those friends… . No, we can drink together later. yes?”
Min So-yeon, who gently pushed my hand away, folded her arms and looked at me and answered with a smirk.
“… You said you wouldn’t drink with me.”
… It’s a big deal… .
Soyeon is sincere now.
If I don’t drink, I’ll learn to drink from the bad sisters who have tattoos on their belly and teach bad things to young children.
After learning to drink from bad friends, he even developed a bad drinking habit, and later, using a spacious and nice house, even men… .
no way!!!
“… I’ll drink with you, so don’t call them.”
Then, Min So-yeon spoke to me as if waking up with eyes full of anticipation.
“… that you don’t drink He said he was going to drink with an adult.”
I answered her firmly, holding her arm tightly so that she might not have any other thoughts.
“I don’t want to see you drinking in front of other people, so just drink with me.”
I didn’t drink it often because my wife didn’t like it, but it’s not that I don’t have any experience at all, and I’d rather teach myself to drink.
*
It didn’t take long to set up the drink table.
First of all, it was perfect to replace the snacks Soyeon chose by chance.
Soyeon urged her to drink quickly, so she had no choice but to set up a table for drinks.
“… braided?”
Min So-yeon even makes her own alcohol and naturally brings a glass to her.
Instead of smashing the glass, I glanced at the glass in her hand.
An opaque blue liquid and splatters of glitter that sparkle as if sprinkled with glitter.
It looks like it’s not good for anyone looking at it.
I was staring at her glass of wine as if she didn’t like me, so Min So-yeon hit her glass at will.
clink-
Then he brought the glass to his lips and spoke calmly.
“… The first drink is a one-shot.”
… driving me crazy… .
This is probably what those writers called ‘friends’ told me.
I was taken aback by Min So-yeon’s remarks, who secretly forced one-shots, and I poured the liquid in the glass into my mouth, thinking that I should play properly.
A sweet fruity aroma that spreads evil in the mouth.
The taste was moderately sweet, and there was also a refreshing taste, so it was more edible than I expected, unlike what it looked like.
“… Whoo… .”
So I emptied the first glass and put a fruit in my mouth,
Min So-yeon, who emptied the cup after me, took my cup back and started making a new one right away.
“… So Yeon-ah. Let’s drink slowly.”
But she didn’t even pretend to listen to me.
“… .”
I let out a short sigh, and quietly looked at my glass of wine in front of her.
A sparkling blue liquor that fills the glass and a clear liquid that increases the volume.
I took a peek earlier, Spirit… , what? Anyway, I thought it was some kind of drink… ,
For a mixture of alcohol and alcohol, there was hardly any flavor peculiar to alcohol.
… Is this enough to drink?
