68 – A slightly delayed date

Could this be deja vu? I think I just saw a similar scene at my house.

The only difference is that the location is the living room floor rather than the kitchen table. Anyway, seeing Han Yuna’s family huddled together in front of me makes me feel like my stomach acid is rising.

“So who confessed first?”

“Hey, Mom. Of course, her older sister would have done it first. “Honestly, confess to your sister that you regret something.”

“Hmm, your sister says something is lacking. Of course, it’s true that Si-yoon is a bit of a waste….”

When even a man of considerable wealth said that I was more of a waste, I couldn’t help but reflexively look at Han Yuna.

“hehehehe….”

“…… ?”

But surprisingly, Han Yuna didn’t seem to care at all. In fact, she just smiled as if she really liked those words.

If she were the Hanyu I know, I thought she would be complaining about what she lacks compared to me, but she surprised me.

“Anyway, this lady is very relieved to hear that you guys are going to date. “I worried every day about who would take that little brat.”

“Oh, Mom! “What kind of immature person am I!”

Still, Han Yuna seemed to be unable to endure the childish shouting, and when a stone was thrown into the quiet lake, Han Yuna protested fiercely. Even so, her aunt was unwavering in her point.

“Si-yoon, you know? In today’s world, once you open the package, you can’t return it. “I’m asking this lady to bear with me even if it’s a little short.”

“Ahahahaha….”

“Mom!”

I couldn’t bear to say anything to the woman who treated her daughter like she was an item from her home shopping store. If she expresses positivity here, she will be criticized by Hanyu and I, and denying it is impossible in the first place.

In the midst of all this confusion, what was reassuring was that no one had a bad opinion of me.

Madam, even as a joke, you have always asked, ‘When are you taking Yuna home?’, So even if this is off topic, I thought you would say something like, ‘How dare you take my daughter!?’ Since you often show your brave side. That’s right.

“Okay, while we’re at it, would you like to call her aunt and her mother-in-law? “I wanted to hear it from Siyun’s mouth at least once.”

“Now, are you my mother-in-law?”

Among these, the lady went one step further and even requested a change in her title. Anyone who sees her would think she had an engagement ceremony.

“Honey, why are you putting a burden on your child?”

“Why are you leaving it out so much? “I guess you also wanted to hear Si-yoon call you your father-in-law.”

“Ahm, but there is such a thing as order.”

The man next to her said something as if he was scolding her, but at her woman’s counterattack, he cleared his throat and avoided her gaze. In the meantime, it seems like she really wanted to hear from her father-in-law that she wasn’t denying it.

“Mom, stop talking strangely and finish whatever you have to say! “We decided to go out and have fun!”

“Oh, that’s right, right? “As I get older, I keep forgetting things.”

She was wondering if she should really call her by that name, but fortunately, she was able to survive thanks to Han Yu-na, who intervened at the right time. I’m tired of assisting.

“Actually, it’s nothing special, there was something Siyun wanted to tell you.”

“Yes, please tell me.”

To be honest, I can roughly guess what you will say. Like my mother, Han Yu-na’s situation is special, so perhaps she is saying that she should not go too far or act hastily.

After preparing her mind and putting her head down, she opened her mouth and swallowed the remaining half of her apple.

“I guess Yuna is about to make her debut, right?”

“That’s right.”

“I hope you don’t worry too much about that, Si-yoon.”

“… Yes?”

I couldn’t help but blurt out something that was quite contrary to what I had expected.

What does it mean to say that I don’t want you to care, but that I don’t want you to care?

“Ajumma knows because Siyun has been watching you for almost 20 years. “It’s obvious that you are overly worried and anxious because of Yuna’s status.”

“Of course. “I can’t be a nuisance to him.”

The lady smiled bitterly, as if she knew it would happen.

“I thought you would say that. But Siyun, just because you’re Yuna doesn’t mean she didn’t see that and decided to date you. “You know what I mean?”

“Yes.”

This was something she could understand from the conversation we had yesterday, so she nodded. Then her aunt continued with her comment.

“So what the lady is saying is that I hope you don’t pay attention to me. “Yuna decided to go out with you, having already taken care of those worries.”

“Ah….”

Only then did I understand what her aunt wanted to say.

So, she’s not saying that my worries are useless. However, what I am concerned about is that Hanyu and I have decided to accept it after carefully considering her concerns, so it means that she should not think too deeply about it.

To put it a little differently, it would mean that only I would like Hanyu to see me not as the idol Hanyuna, but just as Hanyuna, her childhood friend and girlfriend.

“I’ll keep that in mind, ma’am.”

When we became lovers, I answered sincerely towards her aunt, who made me realize my mistake that almost drove me further away from Hanyu. She said she would engrave those words on her heart.

“Yeah, you’re a very smart kid, so I thought you’d understand right away. “Then, will you continue to take care of my daughter, who is lacking?”

“Yes.”

When I expressed my affirmation with a firm heart, the man who was watching also smiled happily. It looks like you were very satisfied with my answer. What a relief.

“Oh, and Siyoon, do you know that?”

“What do you mean?”

I was picking up a piece of cool pear with a fork and eating it when the lady said something with an excited expression.

Is there any good news that I don’t know about? I heard that her Hanyuna debut date is confirmed for next week.

“Our Yuna, the contract period is 5 years. “If you get married right then and have a baby, you can go back to working full-time, which would be perfect, honey.”

“… ….”

I was left speechless by her aunt’s actions as she spoke as if she was whispering in her ear with a somewhat sinister smile.

Anyway, in five years, Hanyu and I will only be twenty-four or twenty-five, so will she want to get married and have children so quickly? I guess she has more things she wants to do.

Among them, Han Yu is her girl and I don’t know much about her army, so I left out the word full-time and just added the part about cooling off and giving birth, and her cheeks are blushing.

“But does Yuna know what a full-time job is?”

“I don’t know, Dad. What is that?”

“There is a system in this country where men who start families and have children at an age when they are eligible for military service are not made to stay in the military as full-time workers, but rather are made to commute to work.”

“…… !”

At this time, when her uncle’s explanation was added at just the right time, Hanyu opened her eyes and looked at me. As if asking if that statement is true.

To be honest, I don’t know exactly, but I knew roughly so, so I nodded.

“Yuna, you don’t want to break up with Siyoon for two years, right? “Think about it carefully.”

“Yes, Mom. “I will do my best.”

As soon as her aunt added another word, Hanyu clenched her fists and ignited her passion, as if I had already finished her worries.

No, is it true that a high school senior who is about to debut as an idol is already thinking about making her boyfriend leave her full-time job? Cognitive dissonance comes.

“It went well, right?”

“… “Yes.”

However, Hanyu, who was so sincerely happy to find a way out, did not want her to pour cold water on me, so I hit her right back.

If this were really possible, I wouldn’t be able to spend two years bowing down to Han Yuna and our future child. Well, Hanyu and I would like to continue her idol life as much as possible, so her chances of realizing it are unlikely to be high.

“Dad, do you have to get married quickly to do that? “How many children should I have?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to find out the exact details.”

“… ….”

… I don’t think so.

***

We left the house about an hour and thirty minutes later than scheduled. As the conversation went on for a long time, I had no choice because he was so angry that I had to eat and go.

Thanks to Han Yu As soon as I arrived in her city, she was busy pouting with an angry expression. Even when viewed from behind, her protruding cheeks were swollen enough to make her look like a squirrel with a mouth full of acorns.

“Siing, if it weren’t for my mom….”

“You probably did it because you were excited, you understand.”

“I’m not doing this because I’m late.”

Han Yu, who is voicing her dissatisfaction, calms me down with a bitter smile, but as if that was not her point, he instead gets angry at her.

Weren’t you dissatisfied that the date started later than planned? As I was dumbfounded by the somewhat unexpected answer, Yuna Han carefully pulled on my sleeve.

“I wanted to eat lunch alone while on a date….”

“… ….”

The destructive power of the gaze looking up is considerable. In the past, I was able to survive with my mental strength, but now there is no reason to hold on, so I feel like I’m melting in an instant.

Well, I never thought that the day would come when I would see Han Yuna of the world getting angry because the two of us couldn’t have lunch alone. Her father’s adage that she had a long life ahead of her was true. She hasn’t even lived very long yet.

“You can eat rice alone even in the evening. If you want to eat something separately, let me know.”

As I spoke proudly, showing off her wallet, which had become thicker thanks to her father’s allowance, Hanyu Na looked up at me with her blank eyes.

“Evening… ? Do you want to stay together until then?”

“What, you don’t like it?”

Of course, I was planning to at least have dinner together and then go back, but maybe Yuna Han’s schedule was different? Or maybe she didn’t want to be together until then, she asked.

Then she was startled and started shaking her hands and head left and right at the same time. It was so fast that I could feel a slight breeze for a moment right in front of me.

“Oh, no… ! Of course I want to play, but I think you have to go back quickly….”

“I told you, I’m free until the weekend. On that note, do you want to eat anything for dinner? Decide in advance.”

There were a lot of restaurants near the shopping mall we often go to, so I pointed to them and encouraged her to choose, and a bright glow appeared on Han Yuna’s face.

“Heh, then I actually have something in mind… !”

“Okay, okay, where are you?”

Han Yuna showed me a few screenshots with an excited voice, as if she had just visited a good restaurant, and she accepted it as if soothing a child.

If you think about it, it wouldn’t have happened yesterday or today that the two of us came out alone and decided on a meal menu, but this moment felt very different and fresh.

This is truly amazing.
