Episode 400
A cage-like room where three people are locked in a narrow place.
‘Is this really a house?’
Looking at the bathroom, which was far from the bathroom Kim Eun-ah knew, Kim Eun-ah thought.
‘You really live in a place like this?’
Eunah Kim couldn’t believe that people could live in a place like this, and how many people were living there.
‘Since when did it go wrong?’
It didn’t seem wrong from the start. Because it was just an ordinary invitation. Apparently, Sumire also said the same.
[My family says they miss me after a long time. Thanks to the support money I received these days, the situation at home has improved a lot… even though I really wanted to show it…]
Wouldn’t it be kind to send Sumire all the way to Japan alone? Wouldn’t it be even worse to spend Shin Yoo-sung alone?
[Then let’s go together! Because I’ve never been to Sumire’s house. Just to say hello.]
Kim Eun-a just answered like this normally. I didn’t think of a flashy mansion, but I didn’t expect it to be this big.
“hi. pretty sister! Just sit here and wait for Mom to prepare the snacks!”
Eunah Kim saw the cushion held out by Suito, who claimed to be Sumire’s younger brother. It looked like a rag because the cushion, which had been frayed and looked like it could not be used, had been sewn several times.
‘…Are you teasing a new species?’
How are you supposed to sit on a cushion like this? Are you kidding me? If the cushion wears out, you can just buy a new one, but this one looked older than Suito.
“Ughhhhhhhhh thank you.”
Kim Eun-ah hesitated and sat on the cushion that Suito held out. Eunah Kim wanted to cancel the idea that this cushion looked older than Suito. Apparently, this cushion was older than Kim Eun-ah.
‘…The cushion is about to tear just by sitting down?’
But this was just the beginning.
“What’s this name over there?”
“me? Suito.”
“Oh yeah… what’s that hole in the ceiling of that room?”
“Oh that! hmm when was it Was it because of the baseball the youngest guy threw?”
Suito held her chin and pondered as she tried to remember, but Kim Eun-ah did not ask why there was an unidentified hole in the ceiling.
“…are you just leaving it like that?”
He was asking why the ceiling with holes in it was still left.
“yes? Sometimes on rainy days, water leaks. In that case, you just need to support the bucket.”
“…Put a bucket in the room?”
In response to Suito’s answer, which made matters worse, Kim Eun-ah covered her mouth with her palm without realizing it.
“Really?”
“You only need to support two buttocks. How nice to hear?”
Looking at Suito, who didn’t even know what the problem was, Kim Eun-ah was speechless.
“That’s right…”
Yes. No more hole talk. Let’s think that it’s common sense that in this house, that level is nothing like what Suito said.
Kim Eun-ah was mind-controlling herself like that, but Suito said something even more shocking.
“If there is a problem, is it rather a rat or an insect?”
“Gee it… no rats and bugs!?
Surprised by how surprised Eun-ah Kim was, she even leaked her pronunciation and was embarrassed. Suguha, the cute girl sitting next to her, nodded.
“That’s right~ Hoo, it’s winter now, so it’s okay. In the summer, it was really hard because something like a real flying insect came in through that hole.”
But this was just the beginning.
“By the way, where is the room where Sumire used to stay?”
Kim Eun-ah thought that this place was a room for guests, and of course there would be a separate room for Sumire.
“ok? Did your sister live here too? Now, the three of us sleep together, and all four of us stayed here when my sister was around.”
“that’s right. It felt good to be crowded when unnie was around…”
Seeing Suguha recalling the past as if those were good times, Kim Eun-ah felt like her common sense was twisted.
‘Baby… you don’t have a room? Three people living in a place smaller than one of my closets?’
Looking at the life opposite to the reality Kim Eun-ah has lived so far, Eun-ah Kim has a blank face. Rather than the word ‘shock’, it just seemed to have lost its strength.
“Hey, have a drink of this while waiting for my pretty sister.”
Coincidentally, for Eun-ah Kim, Suguha brought green tea and yokan on a tray to treat guests, knowing when she prepared them.
“It feels really right to be a snack for entertaining guests. It’s thanks to the money Sumire-noona brought… It’s touching.”
Kim Eun-ah listened to Suito’s words and looked at the green tea and yokan on the small table for one person.
“Oh yes yes. Thank you so much…”
The green tea and yokan that Suguha prepared were completely indistinguishable from the outside. However, even green tea here is on a different level. The scent of green tea that Kim Eun-ah felt the moment her mouth was burned destroyed common sense again this time.
“Hey, is this green tea?”
“yes. Of course, it’s cheap at 500 yen for 1 kilo of green tea powder.”
“You get scolded by Sumire-unnie after that. Say anything really.”
For the same weight, Kim Eun-ah, who used to drink black tea that was more expensive than gold powder, was shocked by drinking cheap green tea that costs 500 yen per kilogram.
The green tea Kim Eun-ah knew was not like this. It was the same with the yokan that I forced into my mouth.
“It’s a good meal…”
Kim Eun-ah trembled as if she had eaten something inedible, then chewed and swallowed the yokan. The cheap sweetness of the 50-yen yanggaeng made Kim Eun-ah choke.
“Because my pretty sister eats well. You look great. Um~chung! Maybe just because I’m rich doesn’t fit my mouth. I was worried!”
In the meantime, why are Sumire’s family members so kind? Kim Eun-ah just nodded her head, not wanting to hurt Suguha and Suito.
“Oh no, it’s delicious…”
“Ah? Aren’t you going to eat more?”
“Yeah, that’s enough… I ate a snack earlier.”
“Then the yanggaeng is mine~”
“Hey! What if the customer steals what they were eating!”
“It’s a waste to throw it away~”
Kim Eun-ah carefully left the room, leaving Suito and Suguha fighting over cheap yokan.
Then he carefully descended the wooden stairs to the kitchen.
Todo Dodog –
You can hear the pleasant sound of cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife. I don’t know what kind of soup it is, but the kitchen smelled delicious.
“Hey, Sumire…”
“Ah, Eun-ah!”
As soon as Sumire saw Kim Eun-ah, she welcomed her by putting the vegetables she had cut into the soup.
“Please sit here!”
“are you okay? You seem to be cooking… but aren’t you busy?”
“no. The preparations are finished, so all you have to do is wait!”
“I see…”
Kim Eun-ah and Sumire sat face-to-face at the table in an awkward atmosphere. Of course, Sumire was the first to make a fortune.
“It’s been a while since I came home… I’m glad a lot of things have changed. Got a new washing machine… new dishes. There’s a lot of food in the fridge… and I feel really good at becoming a hunter.”
Eunah Kim nodded with a gloomy expression as she listened to Sumire’s words.
“I see…”
“It’s a bit inconvenient for Eun-ah to stay, right?”
“uh? Oh no, that’s not it… just…”
Eunah Kim stopped talking and looked at Sumire. Then, looking around the kitchen, he wondered what emotions he was feeling.
“My head is complicated today.”
“Whoops yes. There are days like that.”
“Sumire, you have a lot of family in your house, don’t you? I have three younger brothers.”
“yes! So when I was young, I thought taking care of my younger brother was too busy and hard work… but now I sometimes think about whether I’m used to it.”
“I see. It’s harmonious. My mom and dad were on a business trip and my brother was sick. It was hard to even see his face.”
Seeing this, Kim Eun-ah and Sumire have many differences. Although they were living completely different lives, they were tied together in the name of a party like this.
“Oh, the soup boils faster than I thought. I need to adjust the lights!”
Hurry up-
Kim Eun-ah suddenly ran to the kitchen and saw Sumire adjusting the gas fire from behind.
“Hey Sumire…”
He called out to Sumire.
“yes?”
Sumire adjusted the gas fire. I saw the kitchen. I cooked like always.
“Do you like Yoosung?”
What came out of Kim Eun-ah’s mouth was a short and intense question. I didn’t know if it would be today, but it was something Kim Eun-ah had to ask Sumire someday.
“…yes. very.”
“okay? …that’s right.”
Sumire sat facing Eunah Kim again. Shin Yoo-seong thought that the best moment to have a sincere conversation with his father was now when he went to the bathroom.
“At first, I just thought that Yoosung was far from me… a very great person. Because Yooseong is kind and cool.”
“know. be nice handsome.”
Kim Eun-ah smiled as she accepted Sumire’s words as if they were true.
“By the way… Now, Yoosung isn’t just a kind and cool person to me.”
At Sumire’s serious voice, Kim Eun-ah nodded. Without knowing why, he touched the table with his index finger.
“huh. I think I know. …is it good because Yooseong is Yooseong? It’s not because you’re nice and nice.”
Eunah Kim could see that Sumire was no different from herself. He was the one who understood Sumire’s feelings better than anyone else.
“It’s a really big deal…”
Kim Eun-ah muttered softly.
Then, with a little worry and sincerity, he looked at Sumire and brought out his honest heart.
“I just… just had a thought. What if my desire to have Yooseong is simply interesting, unlike yours… Because I am fickle.”
Unlike Sumire, who is always single-minded, Kim Eun-ah felt embarrassed about expressing affection and thought that she was not honest.
Perhaps bringing up such a story now was jealousy under the guise of honesty.
“…probably not.”
However, Sumire shook her head looking at Kim Eun-ah. Kim Eun-ah’s feelings, which can be called rivals, were recognized as ‘real’.
“Because Eun-ah, whom I watched, really likes Yoo-seong.”
“you idiot. In this case, you have to hit it right. Isn’t that an advantage?”
When Kim Eun-ah laughed, Sumire shook her head.
“no. I can’t do that. Because I know how much Eun-ah likes Yoo-seong.”
Round and round- Kim Eun-ah, who was spinning on the table, nodded her head.
“That’s right…”
Kim Eun-ah organized her thoughts and feelings. I thought of Shin Yoo-seong, whom I had seen at Gaon, and Shin Yoo-seong, a young 5-year-old I had seen in the past.
He remembered the compliment he had given him and the idiotic bright smile.
Probably nothing different from Sumire. He didn’t know if he would feel the same way as himself, perhaps feel greater joy and have a greater crush.
So Kim Eun-ah couldn’t tell Sumire to give up.
In the past, I would have said things like [You can’t compete with me!] confidently, but now I can’t.
“I think I know.”
It was just a long white index finger still spinning around on the table.
