<Episode 21> Change

the next morning.

When I opened my eyes to the bright light shining on my face, sunlight was pouring through the curtains that had been turned.

When I lifted my ears, I could hear something bubbling through the crack in the slightly open door.

Of course, the only person who will do this is Si-eun.

Si-eun got up as usual and started working as a housekeeper.

Last night I was drunk and messed up. It wouldn’t be a problem if he overslept for a day or so, but he had a very upright personality. It’s just a matter of respect.

I got up and went out to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Si-eun was preparing food as usual.

Oversized hoodie and black cotton pants. Wearing an apron over it. With a restrained movement, he looked around the pot or pouring seasonings in the same manner as usual.

Only one thing, except that the hair was tied up and raised to the side.

After changing the hairstyle, the image has definitely changed. Si-eun, who had a calm and intelligent impression, looked quite lively today.

In addition, the nape of the neck, which was not normally visible, was also exposed because of her hair that had always grown long. A few strands of hair were sticking out of her white skin.

Feeling my presence, Si-eun immediately turned her head.

“hi.”

The same blunt greeting as yesterday.

Again, nothing had changed.

When I came out of the shower, Si-eun was moving the pot on the table. Now it seems that he has the know-how to match the timing. Are you ready to hear the shower turn off?

Instead of going to the room, I sat straight down on the kitchen chair. Si-eun glanced at me and moved various side dishes to a bowl with skillful movements.

After preparing the meal, Si-eun immediately sat down on the other side of me.

“great job.”

“It’s about getting money, but what?”

“It is not.”

“Eat now.”

“okay. I will eat well.”

I said thank you and raised my spoon. Today’s menu is fried chicken. As always, it was slightly bland and seasoned.

Si-eun, who followed me with a spoon, put the food in her mouth and smiled.

“Looks delicious.”

“Of course. who made it.”

Is it that you made it yourself and it doesn’t taste good? Confidence is about to break through the sky. Of course, that’s an acceptable skill. There is a wide range of dishes you can cook, and they all taste good.

He said he has been cooking since childhood, but apart from that, maybe he has a good sense of original cooking.

While picking up the fried chicken soup and side dishes, I glanced up at Si-eun.

There was no change in Si-eun’s behavior. It’s like I can’t remember what happened yesterday.

by the way.

Seeing this, it is surprising to realize that Si-eun’s appearance is outstanding.

When he bows his head, he puts his hand on his ear. Arms outstretched to pick up a side dish placed in the distance. Si-eun showed off her appearance without missing a single moment.

“I have a question.”

To me, who had been immersed in such thoughts, Si-eun spoke softly.

He quickly shifts his gaze to the bowl and answers.

“What?”

“Did I say something strange yesterday?”

The spoon he was holding stopped with a chin.

Hearing such words immediately brings to mind.

I remember walking home carrying Si-eun, or coming and sitting on the bed. and… … Until I was asked, “Would you like to kiss me?”

However, if you think about it differently.

The question “Did you say anything strange yesterday?” means that you don’t remember anything about yesterday.

It is natural. Yesterday, since I got drunk, I haven’t missed a single word, and I’ve only said strange things.

Hesitating for an answer, Si-eun said while pointing her chopsticks in the air.

“When I woke up, I saw that I hadn’t even changed my clothes. I must have been very drunk?”

“Well, if you can’t remember how much you were drunk, you must have been drunk a lot.”

“That’s right.”

Si-eun snorted and agreed.

I want to avoid the topic of what happened yesterday.

I don’t know if Si-eun remembers what happened yesterday and is shy. I have no desire to deliver it directly to Si-eun, who has forgotten everything. Rather, it just makes me ashamed.

“therefore? Did I say something strange?”

However, Si-eun stumbled into the path she wanted to avoid.

what to do Move your mouth without making eye contact.

“Nothing happened.”

“okay?”

Si-eun asked, and immediately in a voice of wonder.

“Then that’s it.”

“yes.”

“Why are you always staring at me like that?”

Again, the hand holding the spoon stopped.

uh, uh you got it perfectly I was trying to sneak a peek so that I didn’t get caught. It seems everyone was noticing it.

“that… … . I had my hair tied up today, so it’s unusual, so I’ve seen it a few times.”

“okay? I was a little tired this morning, so my hair was annoying, so I tied it up.”

Si-eun replied that it was nothing.

“Then I’ll fix it.”

She quickly untied the braids that tied her hair and shook her head, returning to her original long hair style.

“I’ve also loosened my hair, so can’t you see me now?”

“Well, right?”

“Do not lie.”

It was a firm talk.

“Isn’t this why you’ve been watching me for a long time? It’s not unusual for me to tie my hair up.”

“No, well. They say they look quite different because they tie their hair up.”

“what. Have you ever looked into the nape of my neck?”

“I didn’t.”

Well, I actually did… … .

“Then why did you see it?”

Unable to withstand the continuous interrogation, he tilted his head.

I wanted to be angry, but it was a little different. To be honest, Si-eun seemed worried. Perhaps, ‘I may have said something useless yesterday.’ would be worried

The problem was that, as worried as he was, he spoke nonsensical words. I could never answer.

But before that, in a nutshell, wasn’t there something that could be dismissed as an episode? If that’s the case, can you tell me?

“in fact… … Yesterday you were.”

“yes.”

Scratch his forehead and continue talking.

“I told you to pick me up and take me home.”

“… … What?”

His worried face quickly turned into astonishment.

Confused, Si-eun asked as her lips dropped.

“I’m just asking, just in case, didn’t you really pick it up?”

“… … .”

“Looks like you really got it… … .”

“Um, what happened.”

“Why?”

It’s a tone that is trying to accuse you of sin. But it’s not my fault at all. I hope you don’t make any accusations.

“You kept complaining. If you don’t pick him up, he’ll be sitting on the street all the time.”

When she told the truth, Si-eun’s cheeks turned red in an instant.

Rather than being carried by me, it seemed that the fact that I had used a group to carry me was more shameful.

“Ugh, what did you do yesterday… … .”

“When I asked why he asked me to carry him, he replied, “I want to be carried.”

“Noisy. Forget it quickly… … .”

Si-eun said with a blushing face as if muttering. He said it was noisy because he asked a question and answered. I feel sad

“Anyway. It just happened.”

Si-eun wrapped her head around her head as if she was tidying up.

“Nonsense.”

It was a gesture that he still couldn’t believe. Actually, I said a lot more daring than that.

“You really don’t remember anything?”

“I remember even the scene where Sohye and the three of us had a drink.”

Wasn’t that before he was even drunk?

It looked very normal until I asked him to carry it, but the memory at that point seemed to have been erased. Was Si-eun already over the limit at that time?

“Well, actually. I think I dreamed that something was carried by you after that… … .”

“It must be a vague memory, not a dream.”

“It’s really absurd.”

I cover my eyes with my palms and feel ashamed. His face was still stained red.

It’s quite interesting to see Si-eun, who was usually arrogant, reacting like this. Thinking about that, Si-eun asked with a sharp gaze.

“Isn’t it strange that you touched something like that?”

“Do I look like that person?”

You know you don’t have the courage to do that. Si-eun has already heard similar sounds over and over again.

I meant it in this way.

“but. You are a very careful person in that area. I wouldn’t.”

For some reason, Si-eun’s answer took a slightly different direction.

Well, if that’s true, then it’s true. I just never dreamed that Si-eun would know.

Soon after, Si-eun raised her eyes.

“then… … Other than that, didn’t it?”

“okay.”

As soon as she answered, Si-eun began to play with her chopsticks again, saying, “I’m glad I did.”

I couldn’t even tell what happened in the end.

Si-eun just said things like that. Not even 1% is my fault. Even if I tell you all about yesterday, it is all about adding one more line of Si-eun’s black history. There is nothing to blame for me.

But somehow, if I bring this up, the current relationship seems to change.

So I had no choice but to keep it a secret.

I was about to resume eating with my frustrated heart in my arms, but Si-eun raised her head. Naturally, our eyes meet.

“Why do you keep looking? I also loosened my hair.”

As if still suspicious, Si-eun looked at me with a piercing face.

It is dangerous to buy more doubts here. I immediately turned my gaze to the fried chicken soup,

“Nothing.”

I was just returning these words.
