After drying my hair, he wasn’t in the bedroom.
Through the wide-open door, a delicious aroma wafted in. Drawn by the scent, Eunjae moved his steps and stopped in front of the dining table.
The sight of him, with his sleeves rolled up, busily transferring side dishes onto the table, was familiar.
Sensing my presence, Sunwoo smiled at me.
“Sit down, let’s eat.”
“What’s all this?”
“I went to my parents’ house this morning.”
Eunjae, who was pulling the chair to sit down, widened his eyes and asked, “You went to your parents’ house in the morning?”
He probably couldn’t even get a good night’s sleep, and looking at his face with a touch of pity, he seemed even more disheveled today.
Where on earth does he get that stamina?
For a moment, I thought about it, but I couldn’t worry about his health, so I chuckled at the thought.
“Yeah, I went to get some lunch boxes.”
Lunch boxes, huh? I forgot to ask what kind of lunch box it was when a rice bowl was placed in front of Eunjae, and I forgot the question I was about to ask.
Today’s menu was a steaming hot ox bone soup with a savory aroma.
It had been a long time since we sat side by side at this dining table and had a meal together.
I couldn’t tell if the rice was going into my mouth or my nose back then.
Lately, I’ve been laughing a lot.
I laughed when I thought about the times we used to bicker, and I laughed at trivial things.
What’s so good about it? Always the man who smiles at me. Perhaps the source of laughter is that man.
“Eat quickly; it’s perfect for eating.”
Eunjae lowered his head and looked at the clear broth. Suddenly, I became hungry. My appetite returned, and I quickly picked up the spoon.
The soup was just warm enough. I rolled the noodles and put a piece of meat on top. As soon as I put it in my mouth, the meat melted gently. It was a taste that made me naturally happy.
“Wow… it’s so delicious.”
“Good to hear.”
Watching Eunjae’s narrowed eyebrows, his lips moving slightly, and finally swallowing, Sunwoo looked content as he picked up his spoon.
His eyebrows, which tasted late to the soup, were also gently swaying.
While exchanging various conversations and having a meal halfway, Eunjae suddenly glanced around the spacious living room.
“It feels a bit empty with just the two of us, doesn’t it?”
“Not at all.”
“And it seems a bit cold.”
“Yesterday was the summer solstice.”
He behaved as if he knew exactly what I was trying to say. Eunjae quietly listened to Sunwoo’s words and put down his spoon.
“Hey, Mr. Sunwoo…”
Eunjae stretched out the conversation, raising his fist over the dining table. Eunjae’s body leaned forward toward Sunwoo.
“We agreed to stay at our parents’ house for only a month, right?”
“No.”
“I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
“I don’t want to.”
His answer was firm. It wasn’t like he was pretending to know me, but he seemed to really know what I was going to say.
As if he didn’t want to hear any more, Sunwoo glared at Eunjae, then lowered his gaze again. Eunjae, feeling hurt by Sunwoo’s firm attitude, pursed his lips in disappointment.
“I want to stay at my parents’ house longer…”
Eunjae found life at his parents’ house very satisfying. It was good to be surrounded by people, receiving their attention and care without feeling lonely or burdened by complicated thoughts.
Studying while looking at the spacious garden or taking a walk to clear his mind was also enjoyable.
“From here to the hospital, and then to the academy, it takes an hour. Do you remember I came all the way here to buy a book not long ago? It’s not an ideal environment for studying, right?”
Yeah, except for that.
“I can’t go out alone without Mr. Kim.”
His parents’ house was located at the end of a secluded forest path. It took at least 10 minutes just to cross the vast garden and 20 minutes to get to the bus stop, with buses running at intervals of 30 minutes to an hour.
Moreover, without a driver’s license, going out alone required considerable courage, as he said.
Yeah, except for that.
“Think about it, it was the same yesterday.”
Just recalling yesterday made Sunwoo’s eyebrows distort. While Sunwoo poured out four words like a machine gun, Eunjae couldn’t say anything in response.
It was all true, and there was no room for argument.
But apart from those things, everything else was so good. Those shortcomings Sunwoo listed didn’t feel like shortcomings.
I wanted to come up with a plausible reason, but there wasn’t one. Just staying at my parents’ house felt good. There was no need to attach any other reasons.
Despite his firm denial, would he allow it if I said I liked it?
“We’ve only been married for just over a month.”
“…”
“I think about hugging you all day and hurry home. I’m not a monk training on a mountain, how can I endure every time.”
Yeah, that’s a bit…
While Sunwoo scooped up the soup again, Eunjae couldn’t say anything, just listened.
He wanted to have a plausible reason, but there wasn’t one. Just staying at his parents’ house felt good. There was no need to attach any other reasons.
