“He said he was going to play golf, so I told him to divorce me and marry golf if he’s going out today, and that guy left. So, you should get ready as I’ll be divorcing your father and he’ll be marrying someone else soon.”
What kind of preparation was she talking about?
On a closer look, my dad was amazing too. Pretending to lose to my mom, he managed to do everything he wanted.
We were still at an impasse at the entrance, with Ji Seo Joon stuck awkwardly between my mom and me.
“Seo Joon is here, and my mind is… Come in, Seo Joon.”
“Ah. Yes.”
As Ji Seo Joon was about to enter the living room, I clung to his clothes and gingerly moved my feet, sticking closely to him.
My mom merely glared at me, neither restraining me nor scolding me. Thankfully, we entered the house without any fuss. My mom sighed as if giving up and then spoke to Ji Seo Joon.
“Seo Joon, have you eaten yet?”
“No, I haven’t eaten yet.”
“I see. Then let’s call Yoon Hee and eat together.”
After saying that, she picked up her phone to make a call and disappeared into the kitchen.
“You saved me.”
I swept away the tension I felt, and plopped down next to the couch where Ji Seo Joon sat.
“I was already upset because of my dad, if it weren’t for you, I would’ve been kicked out again.”
I said to Ji Seo Joon, keeping an eye on the kitchen. My mom was on the phone with Aunt Yoon Hee, urging her to come over quickly since Seo Joon was here.
At that moment, Ji Seo Joon’s hand wrapped around my left hand. I jumped in surprise, shook off his hand, stifled my voice, and said to Ji Seo Joon,
“What are you doing?”
Then Ji Seo Joon grinned wickedly and whispered,
“Auntie isn’t looking.”
This kid.
I shook off Ji Seo Joon, who was trying to cling to me again, and retreated into my room. After quickly changing my clothes and coming out, Ji Seo Joon was busily moving about in the kitchen, helping my mom.
“Aunt Yoon Hee hasn’t arrived?”
“Yes. She had to go somewhere for a bit. So, it seems we have to eat by ourselves.”
“Where did she go?”
I pushed the dining chair and sat down.
“She went to the supermarket to do some shopping. She said she would just tidy up and come right over.”
“Ah, I see.”
While eating a freshly grilled pink sausage with my hand, I replied.
‘Slap!’
“Ah!”
The sound was so loud; it must have hit hard. Ji Seo Joon also froze in surprise.
“Can’t you help, and you’re just eating like that. Put down some utensils!”
“Oh, okay.”
It didn’t hurt much, but I stroked the back of my hand and placed a pair of spoons and chopsticks on the table.
“That thing, who would take it who would.”
My mother complained as she stirred the soup, and Ji Seo Joon simply took the soup from her and flew to the table.
Even though she spoke like that, it was Mrs. Kim who had made a spicy bean sprout soup, thinking her daughter had drunk a lot and stayed over at a friend’s house. I looked at my mother and laughed. Although my mother turned her head when she saw me laughing.
While gulping down the refreshing bean sprout soup for the fourth time, my mother asked Ji Seo Joon.
“How’s work these days?”
“It’s okay.”
“Is that so? Is it hard living here in Korea after working in the States?”
“Because it’s a foreign company, I think it’s okay as the system or something isn’t much different.”
“That’s a relief… By the way, I heard Moon Da Yul is also working in some foreign company?”
“Yes. I’m working at the same company as Da Yul.”
“What?”
My mother was so surprised that she stopped scooping the soup with her spoon.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
“Did you?”
I replied while eating soup vigorously. There was no reason to hide it now that Ji Seo Joon was aware that we were working in the same company.
“Did you?”
The vigor returned to my mother’s eyes.
“It’s not even important……”
I tried hard to hide my drowsy heart momentarily and make an excuse, but only mumbled words came out from my mouth.
“So, did Seo Joon also participate in the sports festival yesterday?”
“What? Ah, yes.”
“So I see. Then let this kid in the house, she must have been having fun drinking and rushed to her friend’s house.”
At Mrs. Kim’s words, Ji Seo Joon flinched. Fortunately, my mother did not notice Ji Seo Joon’s change and kept pouring out her words.
“She probably said she wouldn’t come home because she was having fun drinking. Isn’t that right, Seo Joon?”
“Me? Ah. Well. Um.”
It was Ji Seo Joon who didn’t let me come home, but my mother railed on me without knowing such a fact.
As my mother’s words got longer, Ji Seo Joon’s expression changed every moment. I found it funny and watched quietly while gulping down the bean sprout soup.
Ji Seo Joon, seeing me laughing, slightly glared at me and kicked my foot lightly. It was a sign for me to stop my mother.
“Today, if it wasn’t for Seo Joon, she wouldn’t have even set foot at home…….”
There wouldn’t have been an overnight stay if it wasn’t for Ji Seo Joon, mother.
I reached out for the seasoned bean sprouts with a small smile. When the topic about Moon Da Yul’s overnight stay was about to end, my mother threw a new topic.
“Seo Joon, isn’t there a guy at the company you could introduce to Da Yul?”
“What?”
This time, Ji Seo Joon’s expression changed noticeably.
“None? Is it a bit difficult to introduce Moon Da Yul?”
Our mother, who misunderstood Ji Seo Joon’s expression, said.
“That’s right. It might be a bit awkward to introduce someone you’ve seen grow up, isn’t it?”
Our mother, who asked a question and answered herself, nodded repeatedly. I wasn’t sure what she understood.
“Mom, why are you so obsessed with my love life? Lately, you’ve been particularly so.”
I said while putting a large mouthful of rice into my mouth. Ji Seo Joon, sitting next to me, clenched his teeth and muttered for me to finish chewing before talking.
“Do you think you’ll be young forever? You’ll be 30 next year.”
“People in their 30s date just fine these days.”
“You can’t do it.”
For a moment, I almost blurted out, ‘I am in a relationship!’. I barely managed to swallow the words that had risen to my throat.
“She will manage on her own. Auntie.”
Ji Seo Joon timidly expressed his opinion, but my mother thought he was just trying to make her feel good and laughed it off.
“I say this because it seems like I will unload a huge burden when she gets married. Seeing wedding invitations coming from people around me, I guess I am a bit impatient.”
After the mixedannoyanceandfunfilled meal, my mother handed me rubber gloves. I obediently put on the gloves and started doing the dishes. To Ji Seo Joon, who offered to help, my mother suggested eating some fruit and led him to the living room.
By the time I finished the dishes, Auntie Yoon Hee came to our house.
“You, it’s hard to see your face ever since you moved out?”
Yoon Hee, who was picking at the grapes in our living room, did not hide her discontent while looking at Ji Seo Joon.
“What, it seems like he came home today. Maybe he brought that Moon Da Yul as a shield to prevent getting scolded by me.”
My mother sided with Ji Seo Joon and asked if she wanted to drink coffee.
“Moon Da Yul! Bring three cups of coffee here. With lots of ice!”
Mom ordered three cups of coffee even though there were four people. I pulled out my share of the cup and started boiling water. I almost broke the cup when I heard the voices from the living room.
“But, did you two meet up earlier? Did I see wrong? No, I saw Ji Seo Joon and Moon Da Yul get out of the taxi together…….”
The sound of boiling water could be heard, but I stopped making coffee and walked out of the kitchen.
