7 – The Story of Women

After Siyoon Park left for my house with a large plate the size of a pizza, there was a moment of silence between my aunt and I, who were left alone at the table. Did

“Yuna, Siyoon, don’t wait and eat. Then it will cool down.”

“Yes, aunt.”

Then, in line with my aunt’s hand gesture to offer me a meal, I picked up a spoon as she hand-wrote the lactobacillus on the plate in front of me.

First of all, I put a large mouthful of rice in, then picked up the enoki mushrooms and plump shrimp with chopsticks and pushed them in sequentially.

As expected, my aunt’s cooking is the best. My mom isn’t the type who can’t cook either, but I wonder if this is the skill of an expert. As expected, it is the aspect of a first-class housewife of this era who has mastered cooking licenses in all fields.

“Is it delicious?”

“My aunt’s cooking is always delicious, heh. What do you say?”

Not an answer out of politeness, but a heartfelt compliment and another drink into your mouth. When the warmth of freshly cooked rice and the taste of yusanseul are harmonized, there is no other icing on the cake.

Hmm, even though the maintenance period is over, you shouldn’t eat too much. Until you were selected as the debut team, you decided to focus on maintaining your figure, Han Yuna. Where did your determination at that time go?

“Yuna speaks very beautifully. My son-in-law doesn’t say once that it’s delicious while eating.”

“He will think it’s delicious on the inside. I just don’t speak.”

I don’t know if you really think that way, but when you do, you’re like, “Ahahahaha…” I couldn’t laugh awkwardly, so I decided to take Park Si-yoon’s side as much as possible.

With this, you paid off the mango-flavored ice cream debt earlier, Park Si-yoon. Know?

“What’s the use if you don’t speak? Not even telepathy.”

“I do.”

But as if even this shield wasn’t very useful, the aunt pouted her lips and bruised her own son. I don’t know if I should say this, but I couldn’t believe that I was the same age as my mom, so I found her pouting cute.

By the way, saying that words are useless if you don’t speak them, that’s 100% true.

Anyway, that idiot Park Si-yoon always upsets others because he lacks a word. If I could eat such delicious rice every day, I would bow in front of the table and pick up a spoon every day.

That’s why it’s not for nothing that the lower words came out. I don’t know how to say thank you. No, even if you say you know, how do you know if you don’t say it? I mean don’t rot in my aunt.

While continuing the meal while agreeing with her aunt’s words, at some point, the surroundings became quiet and she felt a blatant gaze.

She raised her head, wanting something, and the aunt sitting across from her rested her chin on her chin, watching over her silently with her loveliness, just as she was looking at her daughter who had given birth to her in a stomach ache. You were watching Then, as she met each other’s eyes, she threw a word out of nowhere.

“The more I look at my aunt, the more I want Yuna to be my daughter-in-law. What does she think of Yuna?”

“Yes? Daughter-in-law… !? Eh! Coke!”

I was swallowing almost all of the rice, but the small remaining food still got stuck in my throat, so I coughed repeatedly, complaining of pain.

Fortunately, the situation was averted thanks to the water that her aunt urgently prepared, but the shock of what she just heard is still vivid, so her head is a bit blank. Maybe it’s because I had such a ridiculous dream in the morning, so the shock was multiplied.

“Huh, it seems like you’re more shocked today. Are you okay?”

“Gwa, it’s okay.”

Since it was a situation where I had no choice but to say that it was okay even if it wasn’t okay, I answered that it was okay.

Actually, looking back, it wasn’t yesterday or today that my aunt threw out these words. As far as I remember, since I was in the 3rd year of middle school, he often joked with me, saying ‘Would Yuna be my daughter-in-law?’.

Whenever that happened, I would lightly cover it up with a smile or half-jokingly say, ‘It would be nice if my aunt was my mother-in-law’, but today, strangely, that didn’t go well. Her aunt must have also found it strange, and her eyes were wide open.

“In the past, jokes like this were easily repulsed, but what’s going on today? Didn’t you have that new change of heart?”

“Ser, no way. The opponent is not another person, but Park Si-yoon….”

I know it’s rude to say such things in front of Park Si-yoon’s mother, but since we’re such close friends, I avoided looking at Park Si-yoon as usual in front of my aunt.

Yeah, it’s Park Si-yoon. Park Si-yoon. That kind of thing doesn’t fit into the category of a man. It’s just that I have strange dreams in the morning, so I look at insignificant actions differently.

Just doing karaoke, it’s like that, I misunderstood and trembled all by myself. I’m really sorry I’m sorry How did Han Yuna of the world come to be like this? If anyone sees it, they’ll think they see the real Park Si-yoon as a man.

Following the vehement explanation, as soon as I started eating the rice, which had risen in a large bowl, with chopsticks, my aunt looked at me gently and then agreed with my words. But the way he spoke was quite different from usual.

“Well, there is nothing my son lacks, but compared to Yuna, he is a bit lacking. The way he speaks is blunt, and all he does is lock himself in his room every day without even knowing a woman’s heart….”

Usually, when my aunt talked about Park Si-yoon, it was more like grumbling, but today, she recited all kinds of shortcomings of Park Si-yoon in a particularly sharp tone, as if she were telling me to listen.

When I listened carefully to that, there was nothing wrong with it, but I felt like someone was hurting my insides, so my mouth moved first without realizing it.

“… Not necessarily.”

“Oh, is that so? What, for example?”

For some reason, her aunt’s face brightened a lot… ? It’s as if he’s been waiting for me to say this. However, thinking that it must be an illusion, I began to support Park Si-yoon while cooling my hot face with a hand fan.

“I am blunt, but I take good care of the people I want to take care of. Just today, I went to the store and got a bite…. There are more days when I lock myself in my room, but it’s better than kids going out and messing around.”

“Really? Then what do you not know about a woman’s heart?”

I don’t know why I have to explain him on behalf of Park Si-yoon, but his already open mouth continued to move without showing any signs of stopping.

My aunt, who listened to her words to the end and shook her head as if chewing them, asked the only thing I hadn’t explained. Perhaps he was curious about this point more than anything else, and it was quite burdensome to see his eyes shining brightly.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t end something that has already started, so I looked at her aunt for a while and then answered with a gaze looking into the distant future.

“… He, he too, will change when he finds someone he likes. Why, all men are like that.”

“Not really. By the way, I didn’t know that Yuna would look at my son with so much interest, right?”

I felt like I was stabbed in a weak spot by my aunt’s words, but she didn’t try to express it and said it as if it were an excuse.

“Because they hang out so often. Wouldn’t it be hard not to know?”

After hearing that, my aunt looked at me with a somewhat happy look, and she didn’t say anything. She turned her head down, for some reason that gaze tickled him even more than the playful question from earlier.

So, when will Park Si-yoon come? ! At most, how long does it take to stop by the neighbor’s house across the street?

***

When I returned home after bringing the lactobacillus to Han Yuna’s house, the lactobacillus that was already on the table was half gone.

There were quite a lot of sheep, but in the meantime, where did they all go? No, you don’t even have to ask. If you see the existence that is clearing the second bowl after emptying one bowl of rice right in front of your eyes.

“… ….”

“What, what! Is this the first time you see people eating!?”

She stared down at me silently as she ravenously coveted her bowl of rice. She began to inhale her lactobacillus again with a loud noise, as if she had been stung as well. That’s a vacuum cleaner, an idol trainee.

It was a little delayed because I had a short conversation with her aunt, but I didn’t expect to eat as much as I did in the meantime. Is this the real exhausting appetite of Hanyu, who came after her management period? It’s astonishing.

“Yuna, there are more, so eat a lot. Her son also worked hard to come and eat and come back.”

“Preload.”

Still, there was a lot of the original amount, and the remaining amount was enough for one meal, so I sat down and picked up a spoon without saying anything.

While I was savoring Yusan-seul and some of her side dishes with my long-awaited first drink in my mouth, I suddenly remembered what my mother said before I went to Hanyu-na’s house, so I impliedly asked.

“But what did you talk about while I was gone?”

“Khehehe! Big… !”

Then, with a loud sound, Hanyu got out of her side and stomped her chest violently and hurriedly searched for water.

Whoops, that immature man.

“Eat slowly. Who is stealing it?”

“Yes, it’s because I was embarrassed when you said something strange… ! Why do you ask that?”

She even took care of her water, and then Hanyu raised her voice while attempting to seduce her.

Show your personality. In the first place, I said something strange. I just remembered that my mother wanted to share her story with me, Hanyu, so she asked if she was talking about something important.

As she stared at me without saying a word, the red light that grew from her neck covered her face and quickly avoided her gaze. And then, on the contrary, he scolded me for what I was looking at, but he just looked like a fart guy getting angry.

At first, it was a thoughtless statement, but it’s even weirder because I react so sensitively. Maybe it’s just the two of us while I’m gone… ?

“… Did you gossip about me with your mother?”

When I asked with an almost confident voice, Yuna Han’s voice continued this time as if she was being ridiculous. Rather than raising her voice in embarrassment, it sounded like she was really excited.

“What is the gossip? Why is your aunt talking behind your back in the first place, you idiot.”

“Oh, that’s it too.”

Of course, I know that my mother wants me to listen to her and says that she would like her son to have aegyo in front of others, but that doesn’t mean that I am not the kind of person to talk behind my back.

But thinking like that makes it even weirder. You didn’t gossip about me, so why be so embarrassed? Or the so-called secret conversations between women, or something like that? If that’s the case, it’s not something I wouldn’t understand.

Anyway, now that you say this, it makes me more curious. Since ancient times, once human curiosity starts to well up, there is no way to stop it, so we keep looking at Hanyuna.

“Yes. We didn’t talk about anything else, so don’t worry, and eat a lot, my son?”

“Yes, I will follow your orders.”

Then she avoided my gaze, so I couldn’t eat properly, so her mother put stir-fried oden on my rice bowl and signaled me to stop at that.

It’s not polite to ask about other people’s privacy in the first place, so let’s erase it from our heads. If it was something important enough for me to hear, my mother would have told me on her own.

Anyway, Yusanseul is so delicious. My lady, can you open a restaurant?
