“What is that smell?”
As soon as the front door opened, a savory smell tickled their noses. Seo Ha immediately realized the source of the smell and clapped her hands.
“Pajeon! It’s pajeon today!”
Hurrying to the table, there were seafood pajeon generously filled with ingredients and doenjang jjigae emitting a wonderful aroma. With glossy, steaming rice on the side, there was nothing more to ask for.
“It rained today, didn’t it? You know mom’s skill in making pancakes?”
“I know, I know. I’m familiar with mom’s pajeon skills.”
Seung Oh grinned and sniffed the pajeon.
“Only the pajeon is the best? My taste buds have become so picky because of our mother’s cooking that it’s hard for me to eat out. Take responsibility.”
Seo Ha’s slightly nagging compliment was sincere.
“Thank you for always enjoying my food. Now, Seo Ha, try this before the meal.”
Ok Soon tore off a crispy edge of the pajeon and dipped it in soy sauce with green chili peppers and offered it. Seeing Seo Ha quickly take a bite, Seung Oh’s face hardened a bit.
“Does mom have to feed you for you to eat it?”
“Can I feed mom too? Here, motherinlaw. Ah~”
Seo Ha tore off a piece of pajeon and Ok Soon ate it deliciously. Still, the three wrinkles on Seung Oh’s forehead didn’t seem to fade.
“Ah, I’m choking.”
Seo Ha patted her chest several times, feeling like she might choke on the food due to Seung Oh’s apparent discomfort at the head of the table.
“Oh my, I should have paid more attention. I didn’t even bring water.”
“It’s okay. Mom, sit down.”
Seung Oh pulled the flustered Ok Soon to sit down and placed a glass of water in front of Seo Ha.
“I can get water myself.”
“I never said I wanted you to get it for me”
Ding dong, ding dong.
Just as a small argument was about to start, the doorbell rang at the perfect moment. The conversation stopped, and everyone’s gaze turned towards the entrance.
“Who could it be? We’re not expecting anyone.”
“I’ll go check, motherinlaw.”
“Sit down, Seo Ha. Seung Oh, since you’re already up, you go.”
Ok Soon held Seo Ha’s hand and gestured for her to sit down. Seung Oh didn’t seem too keen on going.
“I’m the soninlaw of this house. They say a soninlaw is a guest for a hundred years. Isn’t it weird for a guest to go check?”
Seung Oh would occasionally spout nonsense like this, which he seemed to have learned from somewhere. It wasn’t a big problem since it could be ignored with the power of love.
“You. How can you be a guest for a hundred years when your mother lives in this house? This place is both your natal home and your inlaw’s house.”
Seo Ha just got up and went out herself while the mother and son lightly argued. It wasn’t even five hundred meters to the entrance, so wouldn’t it be much more convenient to go and check at a time like this?
“… Who is it?”
The young woman peering at the intercom screen was someone Seo Ha didn’t know at all. Her slightly shabby jumper and tightly tied hair made her look far from someone who would ask ‘do you know the way?’ or a peddler.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The doorbell rang again. Only then did Ok Soon walk out and ask.
“Who is it?”
“I’m not sure. It’s a young woman.”
“A woman? Ah, it’s Ji Soo. You can open the door.”
“Ji Soo?”
“She’s your aunt Nan Joo’s daughter, Lee Ji Soo. She must have come without knowing her mom isn’t here today.”
As Seo Ha pressed the button, the woman in the screen gave a slight bow. Soon after, faint footsteps crossed the garden, getting closer and stopping in front of the entrance.
Knock, knock.
“Come in, Ji Soo. The door is open.”
The front door cautiously opened. Just at that moment, Seung Oh, who had been in the kitchen, crossed the living room and came out to the entrance.
“Why aren’t you coming in? The food is getting cold.”
“Ah, hello.”
Seung Oh’s grumbling and the woman’s hesitant greeting happened almost simultaneously. In that brief moment, Seo Ha felt the gazes of Seung Oh and the woman called ‘Ji Soo’ accurately interlocked.
It was not a pleasant coincidence.
“Did you come to see your mom? Oh dear, today is her day off. Didn’t she tell you?”
Ok Soon spoke kindly amid the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
“Ah, actually… I didn’t come to see my mom.”
Lee Ji Soo held out a worn paper bag with a chicken restaurant logo and a black plastic bag.
“I brought the clothes you lent me last time and some raindrop pancakes. Since it’s raining, I thought you and the owner could have them together…”
“Pfft!”
Suddenly, a loud laughter erupted. It was the loudest sound Seo Ha had heard from Seung Oh in the past few days.
“Why are you laughing, dear?”
“Pfft, hehehe.”
Without answering, Seung Oh, still chuckling, approached Ji Soo.
“You said your name is Ji Soo, right?”
“Yes? Ah, yes.”
Ji Soo hastily nodded, and at some point, her nape had turned pink.
“By any chance, is the owner you mentioned the person I’m thinking of? The owner and lady of this house?”
“…”
