Chapter 443 – Touch My Chest! Warm Up!
As I rode the scooter leaning on Se-hee’s back, I remembered the trip to Jeju Island with Mawang. Back then, it was hard because of the hot sunlight, but now it is hard because of the cold wind.
“Se-hee! When will you arrive!”
“There is only a little left! Wait a minute!”
“You did that before!”
“Wait a minute! Come out soon!”
I hugged her while driving in lieu of her answer. The best thing about it was that you could hug it like this. I was told several times not to cling to Jeju Island because it is hot.
“Oh, brother! Brother!”
I was hugging Se-hee, her face frowning from her cold wind, when she called me in an urgent voice.
“Uh! Why! Arrived!”
“No! Zip up that jacket!”
“I?”
“I am driving! Quick! Cold!”
Should have done that before riding!
I thought about this, but without saying a word, I loosened her arms a little from holding her tightly. I tried to get as close to Se-hee as possible and zipped it up.
Se-hee called me again while I was zipping up the zipper with only the feeling of my fingertips without seeing it myself.
“Brother!”
“Uh! Filling up now! Wait a minute!”
“No! Please touch my chest while uploading! Warm up!”
“Do you want to die after an accident!”
“It’s because it’s really cold! I think my nipples are going to fall off!”
“Say something real!”
I put my hand on my chest while talking nervously on purpose. No, not mine, Sehee’s. Unlike taking it off, when I touched the cup of my bra, I felt a thicker texture on my palm than I expected.
He put his hand on his chest and waited for it to warm up. When I thought it was somewhat warmed up, I took my hand off and tried to finish the zipper.
“Brother! Please do more! Do not be insincere!”
“You can just zip it up!”
“It’s colder when you take your hands off! Touch me!”
“No!”
“Then I can do it without driving! Yes You can do it!”
“Ah!”
In the end, I had no choice but to place my hand on Se-hee’s chest until the scooter stopped. I was worried that the surroundings would lighten up little by little because the sunrise was coming soon, but I didn’t encounter any cars because it was in the countryside.
“Brother! Here!”
Se-hee shouted here and drove her scooter to the place where the guardrail ended. The place I entered smoothly was an empty lot without even a small container, let alone a cafe.
“Are you here?”
The sound of the wind in my ears stopped as the scooter slowed down. When I asked in an absurd voice, Se-hee answered confidently.
“Yes, you are right here.”
“Here?”
“Because you’re here?”
I asked again and again and looked around. As I said earlier, there were no buildings here, only a few benches and a vending machine next to them.
Here? What about a cafe?
I was just thinking about going into the cafe building and warming up, but when I heard that this was my destination, I was taken aback.
“Whoa… !”
Even in the midst of my panic, Sehee drove the scooter near the bench with a trembling sigh. Stopping right next to a bench, she said, stepping her left foot on the sidewalk-block pavement.
“Brother. Here it is Get off.”
“Is this right? Didn’t you come to the wrong place?”
“Is it right? Why, do you not want to receive a ring?”
“No, I’ll take it…”
At the word ring, I grumbled, but let go of my chest and got off the scooter. Putting both feet on the floor, I looked around once again.
This place was more like a parking lot than an empty lot. The fact that it was connected to the road, and it was hard to see, there was also a white line drawn on the floor.
While I was looking around, Sehee turned off the engine and said as she got off the scooter.
“Brother. Since we arrived at the cafe, let’s buy some cocoa.”
“Uh? Cafe? Cocoa?”
“Quickly. I mean it’s cold.”
After saying that, Sehee walked past me and approached the vending machine. Seeing that, I realized that this is the cafe we talked about before leaving.
“What. Is this a cafe?”
“Yes.”
Se-hee, who had already taken out cocoa from the vending machine, said while holding the paper cup with both hands.
“There is a place where you can order a drink here, and there is a place with a good view there. So it’s a cafe.”
Having said that, she blew and sipped cocoa. Then, a smile bloomed on his face illuminated by the light from the vending machine.
“Ah, I think I’ll live a little longer. Would you like a drink too? I will live.”
“… Milk coffee for me.”
Se-hee, who was so shameless, was so cute that all my absurd feelings disappeared.
As I approached, Sehee shook her head.
“No. You can’t drink milk coffee.”
“Why? Are they all gone?”
“If you drink vending machine coffee, your breath stinks. If your breath stinks, you don’t want to kiss.”
“Then what should I eat?”
“Eat cocoa like me. Here you go. Hold on for a second.”
Sehee handed me the cocoa she was eating. As she sipped it, she noticed that she pulled her card out of her jacket pocket.
“Uh? Can you pay by card?”
“Of course.”
Se-hee, who had been glancing at me, stamped her card on the vending machine terminal. Then she pressed on the cocoa and continued what she was saying.
“Are you a person these days? It’s just a kid when you see him do it.”
“I asked because it was strange that even a rural area like this could be used as a card.”
“There is also Wi-Fi here. Don’t ignore the countryside.”
Sae-hee said with a smile and handed out a freshly picked cocoa from the vending machine. But when he found me sipping his own, he picked up the paper cup he was holding out.
“Brother, it’s mine, why are you drinking it?”
Then, I sipped the cocoa I picked for mine.
“No, I didn’t take a few sips.”
“Because it doesn’t fit a few sips in the cup?”
“Despicably.”
“I bought you cocoa, but what’s so mean?”
“It’s petty to say so cutely.”
“Ha, is that so?”
Se-hee, who was laughing in vain, pointed at the vending machine with her chin.
“Brother. I’ll live. When you finish drinking them, choose what you want to drink.”
“What about vending machine coffee…”
While smiling, he said what menu he wanted to eat next time.
“Next time, I want to eat yulmu tea. Pull that out.”
“That’s not okay.”
“Why again?”
“That means adlay tea is bad for men.”
“Uh, yes?”
“But I think you’d better drink.”
“Why?”
“Brother’s cock is too spicy. I don’t think it’s called chili for nothing. I don’t know why it’s so spicy that it’s not even small.”
Se-hee complimented me on my masculinity, so I felt better and more proud.
As we talked while drinking cocoa, the surroundings gradually became brighter. As time passed, I could see the forest on the other side of the road and the water surface of the reservoir, which had only been dark.
“Brother.”
Now, when it becomes brighter beyond the ridge, Sehee asked with a happy face.
“Brother. You know what?”
“What?”
“This is the place where my parents propose.”
“Uh?”
“She said it was the day she came to Korea knowing that her sister had it. Dad’s parents, so her paternal grandfather and her paternal grandmother said they wanted to see them. So, roughly, it’s kind of like a meeting. I don’t have an outsider.”
Se-hee, who was talking, was not looking at me, but at the sky that was gradually turning blue. That’s how I continued my story without taking my eyes off the place where the sun rose.
“The day her mother first came to Korea, her father woke her up and brought her here. She said so she showed me here. Like this.”
Only then did Sehee look at me. She said, looking at me with eyes like dawn.
“Honestly, I don’t know if I will ever be able to live happily ever after. I don’t even have the confidence to do that. But still, I want to spend the future with you, who is now in front of me.”
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes for a moment as if searching for her words. Then she made eye contact with me again and put her hands in the pockets of her jacket.
“Of course, that day won’t last forever. We may be together until death, or we may be separated tomorrow due to a sudden accident. But one thing is for sure. That you now will remain in my memory forever.”
“Brother.”
Sehee smiled softly and raised the corner of her mouth. At the same time, she pulled her hand out of her jacket pocket.
“Will you remember me forever, too?”
At that moment, the sun rose and the whole world shone like a golden light. At the same time, the silver ring in her hand was also dyed in sunlight, and it felt like she was holding the morning sun.
“… !”
But now I couldn’t give Sehee any answer. No matter what I said, I couldn’t explain how I felt right now.
In the meantime, the golden light that colored the surroundings faded. As the sun gradually rises and the world turns towards daytime, Se-hee smiles and says,
“Brother. You know what?”
Then he lifted my right hand with his own.
“My mom didn’t say anything like my brother is doing now.”
Without stopping her words, she put the ring she had made with me on the tip of my ring finger on my right hand.
“At that time, my mother did not know Korean.”
When those words were finished, a ring that shone like the sun was on the ring finger of my right hand.
“But my brother… , Brother. Are you crying?”
“I didn’t expect you to cry for giving me a ring.”
“Poem, noisy! It’s because you got something in your eye!”
“My heart? Was my heart moved to the point of tears?”
“No, some!”
“I will have to tell my sisters about this later. My brother cried when I gave him the ring.”
“I didn’t cry!”
“Then you can tell your sisters. So it’s not luck Well, I don’t know if you’ll believe me.”
“Hey! Because it is not!”
“All right. Oh, but there’s something I didn’t say. Would you like to listen?”
“What, what is it?”
“My mom and dad said the same thing when they came here after giving birth to my older sister. Back then, her mother said she could speak Korean, so she listened and cried like her brother.”
“Tell me how many times you didn’t cry!”
“That’s not what’s important right now. Do you know what the two of you did after that?”
“… What did you do?”
“Casex.”
“Hey?!”
“And that day I was corrected. I heard about it while drinking with my mom, so I’m not entirely sure.”
