The True Feelings of a Tsundere Are Showing

17. Feeding

Two people sharing the same cup.

Two people sharing the same plate with the same spoon.

To say which of the two was the worst would only hurt my mouth.

Of course, the latter is the worst.

From the beginning, there were two more conditions attached to that.

And, Han Seo-ah and I realized this fact better than anyone else.

“······Hey, Siwoo Lee.”

“······Uh, why?”

“Did you ask me to go now?”

“······Is that so?”

“Of course I should. I don’t want to use the same spoon as you, do I?”

[Honestly, I don’t mind writing with Siu, but…]

[I don’t want Siwoo to get sick because of hygiene issues.]

Unlike the ones that were always full of shocking content, this time, Seo-ah Han’s heart contains normal (?) Content.

Wouldn’t that be normal?

The other day, there was some marriage-related talk.

It’s better than that.

At least not in the distant future, which is not yet visible.

“······Then are you going?”

“Go quickly. It will all melt like this.”

“If you’re that dissatisfied, you’ve been there…”

“Hurry up, brother Siwoo.”

“····.”

What the hell is that word for oppa?

What are those two letters that make my legs full of dissatisfaction move?

Suddenly, I had a hunch.

For some reason, I have a hunch that if it is Han Seo-ah, even if today passes, I will continue to say oppa.

And, whenever that happens, I have a feeling that I will do as Seoah Han asks without being able to refute anything like now.

It was a terrible premonition of the world.

***

It didn’t take long to bring the spoon.

All you have to do is go down to the first floor and get a spoon from the clerk.

It was just that I was slightly offended.

“Could you please give me another spoon here?”

“····.”

“······Hey?”

“······Haa. Here you go, sir.”

The expression of the clerk’s sister handing over the spoon is as if ‘I can’t eat even if I scoop it up.’ Because it’s the same expression.

‘······Is this correct.’

Isn’t this a shaved ice shop?

If you are a shaved ice shop, don’t you pay attention to hygiene the most?

Those sentences wriggled as if they would jump out of my mouth at any moment.

“Thank you…”

“Whew.”

“·······.”

Because the clerk’s older sister was looking at me with an expression that was too pitiful to actually put it into practice.

I folded it finely three times and put it back in my head.

I’m scared, clerk’s sister.

I thought I was seeing my older sister whom I hadn’t seen in over 3 months because of her trace.

“What’s up, you’re here right now?”

As I sighed and went up to the second floor, Seo Ah Han, who was looking at her cell phone, greeted me.

“How long does it take to bring a spoon?”

“No, I mean, I thought you were going to cool off, but I just came to surprise you.”

“Why am I suddenly cooling my face?”

“······You really aren’t asking because you don’t know, are you?”

“I really don’t know.”

I’m not lying, I really don’t know.

Why do I suddenly and absurdly cool my face…?

“Really? Your face was really red earlier.”

“······Me?”

“Yeah. When I said Siwoo oppa, his face got really red.”

“····.”

“Are you excited? Siwoo oppa?”

······Was my face like that before?

I thought it was a little hot.

I never thought that even Seo-ah Han, the world’s least discerning person, would notice.

When I couldn’t say anything as if I had been stabbed, Seo-ah Han started teasing me even more.

“What, why don’t you say anything? Are you really excited?”

“······Am I crazy? The sound of your brother makes my heart flutter.”

“Sorry, oppa Siu. I told you the other day, but I don’t really care about you.”

[······Actually, I’m more excited than anyone else, but.] [Is it too greedy to want Siwoo to feel the same way as me?]

The trap is that there was no damage to me.

How can there be a blow when you are seeing that kind of heart with your own eyes?

As I said before, that was also a talent.

The talent to say the opposite of everything that is on your mind.

At this thought, he sighed lightly and said.

“Haa, so how long are you going to talk about that oppa?”

“You said you have to continue today? Eugene unnie asked you to, so you have to listen.”

“That wasn’t a request, it was almost an order…”

“My brother calls me sister quickly. Come to think of it, I think I’m the only one calling him brother.”

“······Seoah noona.”

“Yes, brother Siu.”

“Do you like shaved ice?”

It’s all going to melt like this.

I even brought a spoon so I could eat comfortably.

As if Han Seo-ah had completely forgotten, she put on a surprised expression.

“That’s right, my mango shaved ice.”

“······Remember the reason we came here to eat this?”

“Of course I remember. Do I look like an idiot for not remembering that too?”

“Looks like an idiot…”

“If you say you look stupid, will you keep your title until tomorrow?”

“····.”

Since when did this become a means of intimidation?

Apparently, in her clothing store for the first time, even Han Seo-ah blushed because she was too shy to speak.

When I was in trouble like this, Han Seo-ah first took a bite of shaved ice.

“Hmm. It’s refreshing. After all, I want to eat mango shaved ice with this taste.”

“Is it delicious?”

“Yes. This is much better than the last shaved ice I ate, right?”

“······Really?”

Hmm, that tidyer.

I immediately followed Han Seo-ah and ate a bite of shaved ice.

“······It’s a bit refreshing, isn’t it?”

“Huh?”

“It’s a bit too sour.”

She frowned at the sour taste she felt.

It’s not even a lemon.

Just mango shaved ice is so sour?

As her face was still frowning at the sour taste that hadn’t gone away, I heard a suspicious voice from Seo Ah Han.

“Is that enough? I don’t think it’s that much.”

“Really? This isn’t very sour?”

“Yes. It’s just sour.”

“You used to eat sour food well…”

“Siwoo oppa? Noona?”

“······Seo-ah noona used to eat sour food well.”

This was also one of the facts I knew while living as Han Seo-ah’s childhood friend.

Hanseo knows that she eats sour food very well, to the point that I wonder if she can’t taste sour.

She probably remembered that she also had this happen.

Watching Han Seo-ah pick up and eat the lemon that comes with sashimi.

I ate it once for no reason, but then threw away my appetite and in the end, Han Seo-ah ate all of the sashimi.

Thinking back on that time still pisses me off.

Do you still eat all of it?

Not even a real pig.

“······ Siwoo oppa? I think you just thought of something very rude?”

“Me? Just now? Couldn’t have.”

What is it, am I showing my inner feelings?

How can you make such sharp deductions?

Anyway, that meant Seoah Han was good at eating sour food.

“So, why don’t you eat more?”

“Uh. I thought it would be difficult to eat more.”

It meant that I, who has a normal taste, would no longer be able to eat this sour mango shaved ice.

Then, Seoah Han said as if she was sorry.

“Then what’s left? I can’t eat it all by myself.”

“You said you couldn’t eat it all? You ate an entire shaved ice by yourself last time.”

“······My wrist hurts a bit right now.”

“······Your wrist suddenly hurts?”

“Yes. My wrist suddenly hurts and it’s hard to lift a spoon.”

“Then, what. I should leave it. Or should I feed it myself?”

It was a joke.

The kind of prank that you do every now and then, knowing that the other person will never accept it.

It’s such a prank that I can do because I know that the other person will hate Han Seo-ah as soon as he hears these words.

It was definitely a joke.

“······So.”

“······· Huh?”

“You feed me. My wrist hurts.”

However, for some reason, Seoah Han’s reaction was different today.

Instead of disgust, she nodded.

Instead of putting on an expression of contempt, she blushed slightly, as if she was ashamed of herself.

And, as if expressing that that is Han Seo-ah’s sincerity itself.

When she said she didn’t have a heart earlier, the sentences of her inner thoughts, which she could easily see, couldn’t be seen no matter how much she rubbed her eyes.

Is it because of that?

Is it because Han Seo-ah’s reaction was different from usual?

I would have been annoyed by what kind of bullsh*t it was normally, but I didn’t voice my denial.

Just quietly, quietly, she poured some shaved ice into her spoon.

“·······!”

At that time, Hanseo knew a little bit, but she was making a surprised expression.

She seemed to be saying the words as a joke.

As if he didn’t expect me to really take what he said as a joke.

However, there was no voice of denial.

As if she was copying me, she was quietly silent and only slightly opened her mouth.

As if he would wait for me to feed him.

As if all the build-ups of pain in the wrist so far were prepared for this moment.

That’s right, for a moment.

I was looking at Han Seo-ah’s light brown eyes.

I fed Han Seo-ah the shaved ice I was holding as if possessed.

Kiki-

And then I got up from my seat.

“······I go first.”

“····.”

“I did the calculation earlier, so finish eating and leave.”

“·······Yes.”

For some reason, Seoah Han’s voice was a little off, but it seemed to be floating.

“Goodbye, sir!”

“····.”

For some reason, while leaving her shop, her face felt like it was about to explode.

She obviously ate a bit of cold shaved ice though.
