Shortly after MT was over, summer vacation started.

The cicada’s cry is heard through the window. Shihyeon, who was getting air from the air conditioner to avoid the heat, was diligently digging through closets and drawers.

“It’s a lot more than I thought.”

A sky blue album of photos taken together.

A dolphin-shaped key chain that I got as a gift when I went on a date at the aquarium.

Plus the wallet I got on my birthday, and so on.

Si-hyeon looked at the items of memories packed in a medium-sized box with complicated eyes.

‘Should I throw it away soon?’

In order to seriously think about Yerin’s feelings, Shihyeon wanted to erase the traces of her first love.

Even though it was a daily thing to be abused, there were some good memories…

‘not. There are some very expensive ones, would it be better to just return them?’

As a result of finding out in the parting community. It seems that there are cases where the ex-lover wants to return the items that have been given to him.

I think it’s really bad, but… What if I ask for it later and say it’s missing because I threw it away? I think it would be difficult as it is.

‘For now, I’ll leave it alone, and then I’ll have to deal with it when I start dating later.’

Shihyeon sighed and pushed the box with her feet and put it in the corner of the room.

Confused, he lies down on the bed, closes his eyes, and hears the ticking of the second hand of the clock.

And as I concentrated on the sound, my consciousness gradually became blurred.

***

Si-hyeon’s parents run a Chinese restaurant. It doesn’t have many customers as if it was a success, but it’s famous for its delicious fried rice, so it’s a store that has built up a lot of regulars.

Sihyeon, the only son, walked around the store alone whenever his parents were busy.

“My Sihyun, are you helping your parents today too?”

“No. I’m just doing this because I’m bored.”

Young Si-hyeon received cuteness from shoppers or earned pocket money, but he was not greedy for money, and whenever he received it, he would put it in his parents’ pocket.

So… the usual daily life. The evening passed and the store became quiet, and the parents were about to take a breather.

with daughter

A girl who looked like Shi-hyeon’s age entered the store alone. A child with natural brown hair and protruding cheeks.

Shi-hyeon’s mother went out to meet this.

“Where are your parents?”

“I came alone.”

“yes?”

Kind of like a kindergartener. At best, a girl who looks like a low-grade elementary school student is coming to eat alone this late at night?

Mom, who had an intuition that something was going on, decided to eat first and watch.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Fresh fried rice.”

“It’s a lot of weight.. Would it be okay?”

“I can eat it all!”

A girl who screams loudly. I don’t know whose daughter it is, but it was a moment that made me want to see the faces of my parents.

Besides, I can’t even get money from such a young kid. Mom sighed, saying there would be a lot of leftovers, and went to deliver the order to her husband.

And Si-hyeon, who was walking around the store, approaches the girl. Sitting on the other side of the chair, he poured water and said:

“Are you here alone?”

The girl ignored the words and gulped down the cold water. Cup Ibiza Shihyeon poured water again, and just in time, my mother brought pickled radish and onions.

“Sihyun-ah, I think we’re your age, so let’s chat and play. Okay?”

Shihyeon, who was bored because there were no guests at the time, agreed to this. However, the girl who snorted when told to play with her, looked at the TV while chewing the pickled radish.

“Where are your parents?”

“You know what to do.”

“I just… I asked because I was alone.”

The girl frowned and asked.

“Whether I eat alone or with someone, isn’t that my heart?”

“Yes. I also eat alone when my parents are busy.”

The girl’s gaze, who was watching the news, turned to Si-hyeon. She said as she tapped the glass of water with a gloomy expression on her face.

“You can just ask your parents to eat together.”

“By the time we eat, there are a lot of customers. Even if we say we eat together, you go to work on the way.”

The girl looked at Shi-hyeon, who spoke in a calm voice, with meaningful eyes.

The food I ordered has arrived. The girl was given a bowl of fried rice, and Shihyeon was given fried rice in a bowl.

“Sihyun-ah. Mom will come to wash the dishes, so we’re eating together, okay?”

Shihyeon quietly nodded her head. The girl who looked at it as if she didn’t like it took the spoon in her hand. Then he looks at the fried rice topped with fried egg.

“I heard the fried rice here is so delicious. Is it real?”

“I don’t know because I eat often, but customers say so.”

The girl nodded and popped the yolk part of the egg. Then, the moment you mix the jajang sauce and rice well and put it in your mouth.

“Huh…!”

He smiled brightly and began to roll his feet. Then, she eats in a hurry without a break, and Shi-hyeon, surprised by this, stares blankly at the girl.

“You eat very well.”

Whether Si-hyeon admires or not. She drank water whenever she was thirsty and used onions to soothe the greasy taste.

“I really enjoyed the meal..”

He emptied the bowl, caressed his stomach, and showed a happy smile.

On the other hand, Si-hyeon, who couldn’t eat because she looked at her, handed the girl a tissue and said.

“I got the sauce in my mouth.”

“where?”

A girl who can’t be wiped off no matter where she is. Si-hyeon, unable to see this, wipes it off with a tissue.

At that time, the girl’s eyes widened at Shi-hyeon’s unexpected behavior, and she opened her mouth belatedly.

“Oh my God, did you really eat it all?”

After washing the dishes, my mother approached me with a surprised face. This is because the little girl ate up all of the bulges that even adult men often leave behind.

“I’m very hungry..”

“Am I supposed to eat this much?”

A mother looking at her with sympathy, and a girl tilting her head. The mother looked at the child who praised the fried rice was delicious.

“Where is your house? It’s dark outside, so I’ll take care of you.”

“It’s okay though. It’s close to my house…”

Whether the girl refused or not, the mother was full of thoughts of supporting her until the end. I don’t know what the circumstances are, but there was a problem with sending a child to a restaurant alone.

If there were parents in the house, they would give them some Tyler.

thump. thump.

In the end, the mother walks with Si-hyeon in her right hand and the girl in her left. After passing the narrow alley for about 5 minutes, you will see a detached house of an appropriate size.

If you see all the lights on the windows are off, is there no one inside? Heartbroken at the fact that the girl would be alone until late at night, the mother gently stroked the child’s hair. Not long after that, the girl starts to panic.

“Well, by the way, I forgot to pay… It’s a card, but you can’t do it outside, right?”

The girl, who was bewildered by the fact that she had to go back to the store, was comforted by her mother with a friendly voice. Then he wrapped his hands warmly and said.

“It’s okay to guide money, so come to our store whenever you’re hungry.”

“Yes? But…”

“It’s okay. I have something to ask of you instead.”

“What is it?”

Mom said while hugging Shi-hyeon, who had been clinging to her legs, tightly.

“When we eat. Why don’t you eat it with my son? Because uncle and aunt are busy, they can’t take care of them.”

The girl quietly looked at Shi-hyeon, who was just standing still. For her, who often eats alone, a boy with a sense of unity.

She knew how lonely it was to be alone.

“I’ll definitely go tomorrow!”

He nodded with a determined face.

***

Thirling! Thirling!

Shi-hyeon’s consciousness gradually returned to the sudden loud ringing.

‘I think I was dreaming of something nostalgic…’

He was so dazed that he couldn’t think of anything, and he followed the sound of the sound he heard. Then I grabbed my phone and answered the call.

“hello..”

[Were you sleeping?]

When I hear her voice, it’s Yerin.

“yes.”

[Uh-huh.. Since the vacation starts, the child is completely idle.]

after MT. Shihyeon made her heart tremble just by hearing Yerin’s voice. He coughs and answers.

“I think it’s because the weather is hot. What else did you call about that?”

[Uh.. I have a favor to ask of you.]

“What is it?”

Yerin said in a depressed voice.

[My maternal grandmother said that it takes a hand to farm. It’s a job that uses a lot of energy, so I asked him to bring a man too.. Even if I told him I was a man, Shihyeon was the only one I had..]

“That’s it, of course I can help.”

[really..? It’s a long way from my maternal grandmother’s West Sea, so if I go, I’ll have to stay for a few days, right?]

“It’s okay, so set a date and call me.”

[yes! Thank you Sihyun. I absolutely love it!]

Yerin hung up the phone with a kiss on the speaker. At this, Si-hyeon leans her back against the wall and laughs in a frustrated voice.

“Thank you… I’m more grateful.”

In order to know his true feelings, he needed to meet, but after becoming conscious of Yerin, Shihyeon was embarrassed to call him out to play.

He was rather happy that we could meet like this.

‘I hope this meeting will give you confidence in my love..’

Si-hyeon, who was so determined, began to carefully choose clothes that would look good on Yerin.
