68. Meeting (3)

1.

In the evening, a delicious smell began to spread through the house.

From beyond the door, I could hear the bustle of cooking, and I could also faintly hear Min Ah-rin’s parents talking.

It was quite a refreshing sensation for me.

As well as the fact that I can hear people talking around the house during the evening hours. It was the same with the warmth in the house.

It’s not just that it’s warm by turning on the heating.

What should I say? It feels right to say that something is harmonious.

The memory of living with her parents has long since faded, but I remember that it was not a very harmonious family even then.

And in well over 10 years, I have never had a meal with someone at home.

If I had to argue, it was about the last time I was with Min Ah-rin, anyway.

“Smells nice.”

“Is that so? My dad is a good cook though.”

“I’m sorry for sitting still…”

“If I told you to help me, you would hurt my pride?”

“I see.”

I wondered if it was a little like the fact that the child of someone else’s house volunteered to help.

I don’t know.

I haven’t gone to other people’s houses often.

There was a bit of discomfort in my heart, but for now, I spent time with Min Ah-rin. Soon after, we heard the sound of Min Ah-rin’s father calling us.

“Guys! Come out and eat!”

“Oh! I’ll be there soon!”

Why does it sound so good to be told to come out and eat?

Going out to eat without any labor was quite novel.

To keep playing and eating food prepared by others.

As I said before, there was some discomfort in my heart, but…….

It was not a bad experience.

2.

“I didn’t have the right ingredients, so I could only prepare this… It should still taste good.”

“Yes?”

A total of four people were sitting at the table.

From what I’ve heard, it seems that Min Ah-rin’s older sister is playing outside with her boyfriend and she returns late.

Anyway, salmon steaks were placed in front of the four of them.

It’s actually the first food I’ve ever seen.

As for the fish I eat, I sometimes buy something like saury, and I didn’t eat that much fish in the first place.

I always bought cheap cuts of pork and ate them.

All sorts of things were placed next to the salmon steak.

Cooked with lemon, asparagus, small mushrooms and onions.

Some looked like mashed potatoes on the side, and something sprinkled on top of the salmon.

Not wearing anything. Oh my god.

“No… It’s my first time eating something like this…”

“Then it’s good. Even if I couldn’t make it, I won’t find out. Ahahahaha!”

“hahahaha…”

That wasn’t the end.

Besides that, all kinds of side dishes were piled up on the table.

The side dishes all look luxurious.

“I will eat it thanks.”

She said that, raising the corners of her mouth as much as she could.

Even at a quick glance, I feel like I’m going crazy with great dishes ahead.

When I look at the visual, I feel a sense of pressure, but isn’t this another point of difference?

It’s crazy to say that it’s really burdensome for the person who receives and eats it.

It’s a very complicated feeling.

This guy’s burden still bothers me today.

“Wow… Dad, what is this….”

“I should have gone out to eat if my friend came, but I’m sorry I just gave you what I usually eat.”

“Usually? We normally open…”

“Arina.”

“Huh? Ah… Ah…! Right! I’m tired of eating it all the time!”

“Right? I want to give Seung-gi something better.”

No.

Is it okay to just eat casually?

I still have these and other complicated thoughts going back and forth, but hearing those conversations makes me feel at ease.

Anyway, that’s how the meal began.

The salmon steak was amazing.

I am a person who usually enjoys food no matter what kind of food is served, but the taste seemed to raise my appetite.

And even if it wasn’t for the salmon, the overall quality of the food was high.

There may be a virtue of the material, but it must mean that the skill is good.

“It’s so delicious…”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Oh, you must have used anchovies here? The seasoning looks really good!”

“Did you feel that too?”

“I made some side dishes. Did you use starch syrup?”

If you get food like this and have no way to return it, shouldn’t you at least praise them?

It’s actually delicious.

I had a conversation with Min Arin’s father, making the most of my culinary knowledge.

Because detailed compliments are effective.

“Wow… Han Seung-gi, can you feel that?”

“A little bit. You should try this too.”

“No… I’m fine…”

I picked up the side dish and brought it to Min Ah-rin who said that.

“I didn’t eat any of this today. Try it. It’s pretty good.”

“Yeah, if I eat it myself later…”

“Just eat now. My arm hurts so hurry up.”

“Uh, yes…”

She immediately put the side dish from my chopsticks into her mouth, and I immediately brought it to her mouth to eat the seasoning on the chopsticks.

I’m not usually involved in Minarin’s diet.

Did eating something delicious make you feel better?

Or maybe it was the idea of wanting to share something delicious.

“Eat some of this too.”

“Salmon? I haven’t finished mine yet.”

“There’s almost nothing left. I still have some left over from lunch. I think I’ll be full soon.”

“Uh… thank you…”

If that’s not the case.

Maybe it was an unconscious effort to relieve the burden?

I don’t know, and it’s not particularly important.

I just do whatever comes to my mind.

Thinking about that, I turned my head forward.

… ….

Did you like my compliment that much?

My father is looking at us with a very happy expression.

“Seung-gi, tell me right away if it’s not enough. The man can make it right away.”

“Yes?

“Father? …hehehehe.”

“Yes?”

I changed my title because calling him Mister seemed disinterested. To be honest, it was too long to be called an uncle.

Isn’t it strange that you give your friend’s parents that title?

I don’t know because I don’t have any friends.

What…….

Still, you seem to like it.

3.

After eating, I subtly expressed my desire to wash the dishes, but only a stubborn expression of refusal came back.

‘Absolutely not. It is polite to treat guests like guests. Do you want to make it burdensome for you? I’m sorry I washed your clothes, but are you going to make me feel more sorry?’

After saying that, my father started washing the dishes, and I went back to Min Ah-rin’s room to spend time.

Even after eating, it was already past 8:00.

Now is the time to go home.

This was enough to ruin someone else’s weekend.

Since before, I have been chatting with Min Ah-rin, and there was still no time to be bored.

But it was too late to play anymore.

Unfortunately, our laundry hasn’t even gone into the dryer yet.

I don’t know how quickly it will dry if I use a dryer, but thinking about that makes me feel helpless again.

Isn’t this really a nuisance?

“Min Ah-rin, by the way, don’t we have to run the dryer now?”

“Ah…, The laundry must have been finished. I’ll be back.”

“No, let’s go together.”

However, we had to turn our steps back to the room.

‘Why are you here? Ah… Wash? Go in and wait I’ll turn it around later. After washing the dishes.’

I wondered if this was right.

It seemed like washing the dishes was getting a little longer.

Isn’t it really past 9 o’clock at this rate?

As I was thinking about that, I visited again.

“Guys. Would you like to wait while eating this? There’s a lot of dishwashing.”

“Ah… Yes. Sorry, I stayed up so late…”

“Huh? Why are you sorry about that?”

“It’s the weekend and I thought it would be uncomfortable…”

“What? Ahahahaha!! You talk really fun. What’s there to be burdened with? Just relax. Oh, shouldn’t you be going home soon?”

“Uh…, It’s not like that…”

“Um…Or maybe I should get up early tomorrow and do something…”

“No. I was just sorry… hahahaha.”

“That’s all right. Be comfortable. There’s a boy in a house full of women, so I really like you. He’s like a son.”

My father spewed out those words like a storm and set down a plate of apples in front of us.

He said it was too funny and said he should tell his mother about it too.

… ….

No, isn’t it burdensome if the children of other people’s families are still killing each other?

Is it okay to just ignore it?

“There’s nothing to be burdened with. Even when I brought my friends, they didn’t have a hard time.”

“Um… I wonder if this is right…”

“Dad would be more apologetic if you felt burdened.”

“I see…”

I’m running out of things to say because I’m bringing the story of my parents.

Staying in someone else’s house is different from feeling the burden of receiving something.

I’m not doing this because I’m burdened, I’m just doing this because I’m sorry.

If you want to be comfortable, you can be comfortable.

… ….

But I can’t help it.

I can’t just go back home like this, and if I show you I’m sorry, I think you’ll feel a lot more pressure there.

I passed the time halfway giving up like that, and eventually the time passed 9 o’clock.

It took a suspiciously long time to wash the dishes.

And.

Shortly thereafter, Min Ah-rin’s father knocked on our door again.

“Seung-gi, you said you had nothing special tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, there is no such thing.”

“Then would you like to spend the night at my house?”

“Yes?”

“Dad?”

“This…. Normally, I don’t use the dryer unless there’s something urgent, but now that I look at it, it looks like it’s broken… So I don’t think I’ll be able to dry the laundry today…”

What the hell is this?

You mean you can’t go home?

If I go to sleep, doesn’t that mean I have to be part of their weekend until tomorrow morning?

I tried to clear my mind a little while ago, but I still feel apologetic.

No matter how much I hear that I’m fine, I can’t calm down.

However, that thought did not last long.

“If you want to dry it, maybe you can dry it? If you use a hair dryer…”

“No! You don’t have to suffer that much!”

“Really? Then… Shall we buy some clothes soon?”

“No! That’s a bit…!”

“But… Seung-gi, I think you’re putting too much pressure on our house…”

To put it this far.

I really can’t say anything.

I don’t really care if I sleep here or not, but it’s not human to give people such misunderstandings.

At least I didn’t want to.

“It’s not really! I was just sorry… Then… Would it be okay if I took care of you for a day…?”

“Really?!”

“Yes… It’s nice that I’m comfortable here too…!”

“It’s so fortunate! I thought ‘our’ Seung-gi was very uncomfortable! I’m really fine…”

You’ve been using the word ‘we’ Seung-gi ever since.

If you treat me that friendly, I think it would be polite for me not to be stubborn.

Um.

Do you call sleeping over at a friend’s house a pajama party?

I’ve never done it before in my life.

A very sudden opportunity came.
