Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

32 – Only One True Mind

Around the time we reached the gate of the house, my parents and grandmother rushed out to greet us. In particular, her grandmother must have been very worried about her, and the tears welling up in her eyes made her feel as if she had committed a great sin.

“Oh, my granddaughter… ! That’s why Grandma told me not to go to dangerous places, but why didn’t you listen!”

“I’m sorry, grandma. She’s all grown up now, so I knew it would be okay.”

Grandma’s voice tapping on my arms, laughing awkwardly, was the loudest I’ve ever heard. Judging from what she said, it seemed that she had heard everything from Yujin Han.

Meanwhile, Dad and Mom approached Park Si-yoon, who was carrying me, and talked to him, trying not to show his reddened eyes.

“Thank you, Siyoon. How should I pay off this debt….”

“Debt? Anyone else would have done it, not me.”

Hearing his mother’s watery voice, Park Si-yoon shrugged her shoulders as if it wasn’t a big deal.

It’s not like humility, this fool really thinks so. It was something that anyone but myself could do. It’s really Park Si-yoon’s style that those words came from the heart.

“Honey, should I take the kids to the hospital right now? In case you don’t know, it’s better to take over as a prosecutor….”

“I’m fine, Dad. If you’re really worried, stop by before going home.”

Meanwhile, my dad, who is most worried, doesn’t seem to be relieved yet, even though I’ve returned safely. When Dad said he would take us to a hospital in the city, I reached out my hand as if to dissuade him.

I know how anxious you are, but I’m fine right now. I don’t think there’s any reason to go to the hospital while wasting time and money. As I just said, if you’re really that anxious, you can drop by the day after tomorrow on the way home.

When I passed through the gate and entered the yard, Park Si-yoon carefully sat me down on the floor. At that time, Yujin Han, who was silent next to me, pulled my hand.

“Sister, I got warm water, so let’s soak first.”

“Oh, no. Starting with Park Si-yoon rather than me….”

It was me who fell into the water, but Park Si-yoon was also soaked in water, so I tried to give up the order. On average, women take longer to wash, so it also helped that I was worried about this idiot who would be shaking outside during that time.

Perfect.

“Ouch!?”

“Stop talking nonsense and go in first. I can just wipe dry and wait.”

Park Si-yoon, who treated my worries as nonsense, admonished me with a pair of spicy chestnuts. I clutched my forehead with a shriek at the sharp pain that came to my senses.

It’s okay, if you only use your hands unnecessarily… !

“I’m sorry, Eugene, but you go in with me and help me. I might get dizzy all of a sudden.”

“Yes, Mom. I was trying to do that anyway Come on, let’s go, sister.”

“Yes.”

While I was being led by Han Yujin’s hand to the shower room, I kept glancing behind me as if I had left something behind.

“… ….”

At that time, I saw that Park Si-yoon, who had been smiling in front of me as if nothing had happened, was tired and his complexion darkened. He must have acted unreasonably because he didn’t want me to care.

Anyway, I’m just pretending to be strong. Who would even think it’s cool then? A real fool, an idiot.

***

After taking a shower and completely finishing the meal her grandmother had prepared for her, it seemed that her original condition had returned.

In the master bedroom, she briefed her grandmother and parents on what had happened by the stream, and by the time she came out to the floor, the moon was already shining brightly over her head. And in the middle of the floor, Park Si-yoon was sitting in a hanryang-like posture.

“Kong! Kung!”

“Right. Listen carefully, you.”

It seemed that he had become friendly with Hayang before he knew it, and seeing him smiling with satisfaction while stroking his fluffy white fur, I naturally smiled. Come to think of it, Park Si-yoon secretly liked animals.

“Why don’t you play with some toys?”

“That’s why it’s a little too noisy at night. How is your body more than that?”

I don’t know how many times it’s already been asked the same question, but I didn’t think it was bothersome. It means that everyone cares about me.

“There is nothing wrong. Anyway, everyone makes a fuss.”

“It’s your fault for worrying. So who said you didn’t listen to people and drown?”

“Chit, who fell in love….”

Hmm, in the first place, the cause was the subject itself. Maybe this idiot doesn’t even know that.

Actually, the reason why I went into the water without listening properly at that time was that it was difficult to see Park Si-yoon’s face for some reason. The comment he spat out at the convenience store, as if he were treating me as his girlfriend. It kept coming to mind, and it was difficult to stand next to Park Si-yoon.

So I went all the way there as if I were running away under the pretext of coming back after seeing her trap, but I never thought it would turn out like this. Of course, that doesn’t mean I really think it’s Park Si-yoon’s fault. I also have a conscience.

I just feel a little, really a little bit offended. So, who wants to make people’s hearts dizzy with strange comments?

While grumbling inwardly, she approached Siyoon Park and sat down. Her hand stroking White’s head stopped and the fool’s mouth opened.

“You must be tired, but go to bed early. What are you doing?”

“You do that?”

“I am not very tired. I was thinking of getting to know Hayang and going in.”

Lie, you fool. I can still vividly see the exhausted look on my face the moment I disappeared towards the shower.

It’s a bit disgusting to keep making false statements that don’t work, but on the other hand, I also thought it worked out well. If you’re not really tired, you’ll have enough energy to answer my questions. I think you dug the grave, Park Si-yoon.

“… Park Si-yoon.”

“Why?”

“Do you remember what I said at the convenience store earlier?”

“What do you mean?”

It was a question I asked with some courage, but this idiot had a puzzled look on his face as if he had forgotten even the contents.

It’s more annoying because it seems like I was the only one paying attention. Of course, I know that Siyoon Park is my lifesaver, but I can’t help but be annoyed!

“Chi, don’t you remember? The store manager told me to take good care of myself, and you said, ‘I’ll take good care of myself’!”

“Oh, that? I remember.”

Fortunately, it was Park Si-yoon who nodded his head with exclamation when I recalled the memory myself, as if I had erased it from my head. What kind of crucian is he? Are you a crucian carp?

Anyway, thinking that I could ask a question with this amount, I asked in a timid tone, holding back my tantrum.

“That…. What did you mean?”

“It didn’t mean much. The lady seemed to know us as a couple, so she just responded appropriately.”

“I-I know that much too, right? I mean, why did you bother to say that without denying that they were a couple?”

I calmed down my heart, which started to beat more and more violently, and waited for Park Si-yoon’s words to continue.

“… Yeah, why did you do that?”

As I was holding my breath in the stillness, holding my longing heart, soon, a foolish word that came out of Park Si-yoon’s mouth naturally sparked a fire.

How could he not know the meaning of his actions, this idiot. Surely it’s not a real carp?

“Are you asking me that?”

“No, looking back, I really don’t know. You know, my personality tends to say things like that.”

“Yeah…. Know.”

That’s why I thought it was strange too. If it was the Park Si-yoon I know, he wouldn’t have spit out those words to pass the situation for a moment. I’m sure he said it in moderation so as not to spoil the atmosphere too much, such as ‘I appreciate your words, but actually we’re just friends.’

Anyway, the way to find the answer is gone forever. The presenter doesn’t know the correct answer, so how can I get it right? Even if you ask Internet knowledge doctors about this, they won’t be able to tell you.

“Park Si-yoon, then….”

However, I didn’t want to end it without knowing anything, so I was going to ask Park Si-yoon again by changing the question method with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.

Took.

“…… ?”

As I tried to turn my head, something heavy fell on my shoulder and my consciousness was momentarily taken away. It didn’t take long to realize that it was Park Si-yoon’s head that had fallen from exhaustion.

… Does this idiot just stretch out like this without properly telling people what they’re curious about? He said he wasn’t tired earlier and pretended to be cool. Anyway, in case someone isn’t Park Si-yoon, the ending isn’t zero.

“… Fool.”

A word of complaint that came out of my mouth inadvertently. Eventually, it was blown away somewhere in the cool night breeze.

Then, you should have gone in and touched your phone before falling asleep. Why were you on the floor? No, it’s obvious without asking why. I must have tried to fall asleep after checking my body condition for the last time.

“Okay….”

After pushing Park Si-yoon’s body a little to the side with difficulty, I brought his heavy head onto my thigh and laid it down.

Wearing Dolphin pants, it was quite itchy when my hair touched my bare skin, but I decided to put up with it today, acknowledging Park Si-yoon’s contributions.

Yeah, I’ll admit it for just one day, Park Si-yoon. Just a little bit, really a little bit cool.

When the hair covering the eyes was brushed aside, Park Si-yoon’s face was revealed.

My eyelashes are longer than I thought. I hadn’t looked closely, so I didn’t know. If you look at it one by one, it seems like it has a face worth looking at… ? No, I’m not sure. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen it since I was young, but in my eyes, it’s just a bit better than normal.

As I was examining each part of Park Si-yoon’s body, from his hair to his eyes and nose, I saw a pair of pale pink lips. At that moment, the thought that came to my mind on the way to being carried by Park Si-yoon came back to life.

Come to think of it, I thought that if Park Si-yoon had given me artificial respiration at that time, something would have changed. Could it be that it is still valid today?

To be honest, I never want to kiss someone like Park Si-yoon, but I can’t stand it because I’m so curious. Just imagining the future of what will change if this arrives makes my head feel like what will happen.

Carefully, very carefully, bend down. As if I was being led by something, slowly bringing my face to Park Si-yoon, I felt like someone possessed by something.

Yeah, I’m just checking this question. It’s not like I’m doing anything in a strange sense. In the first place, I never want to kiss someone like Park Si-yoon.

It was the moment when she was about to close her eyes at the face of Park Si-yoon, who had approached her right in front of her nose while muttering something she didn’t know whether it was rationalization or not.

“Kong!”

“…… !”

Without returning to his house yet, Hayang, who was watching us, barked loudly as if scolding me.

I quickly came back to my senses at the sound of those cries, hurriedly removed my face from her, and looked at Hayangi with a sympathetic expression.

“… Well, would this be too cheesy? Hayang-ah.”

“Ki-ing….”

As if he understood what I was saying, this time Whitey lowered his head with a quiet cry. I stopped laughing at that sight.

Yeah, this isn’t it. Neither Park Si-yoon nor I have ever been in a relationship. But when she was asleep, she stole her first kiss from a childhood friend she didn’t even like, so it’s not a big deal to say that she doesn’t treat it as a kiss.

This is something you only do later, in a more romantic place, when you know you want each other. Of course, I absolutely do not want that person to be Park Si-yoon!

Anyway, it’s a pity. Of course, she doesn’t mean that she couldn’t kiss Park Si-yoon, it means that she regrets not being able to answer the question she wanted to ask at the end.

I really wanted to ask. I wonder if he would have acted the same if there were other people like Han Yujin or Soobin in that position.

If you had asked that question properly, what would Park Si-yoon have answered? He must have nodded, saying ‘yes.’

Somehow I hate that.

Han Yujin is also my precious little sister, and Soobin is also my precious best friend…. Why

Suddenly, I had a wish that I wouldn’t want to say that to anyone other than myself.
