Chapter 605 – I Want to Sleep With You. I Like You Better…

Getting a goodnight kiss didn’t mean I could sleep right away. As always, I looked at my smartphone before going to bed.

“…”

The feeling of Taeyeon lying on the sofa at home and using her smartphone was a bit unfamiliar. So were the vague outlines of her dark living room, the feel of her couch cushions, the smell of home in her home.

“Sniff sniff”

No, except for the smell of her house. It’s not the first time I’ve been here, and I’ve already gotten used to it after a few hours.

Anyway, I looked at my smartphone and waited for sleep to come. I played games, watched videos and webtoons. I stayed awake for over 30 minutes like that, but I couldn’t sleep and my mind was clear.

It was natural. Even though I turned the brightness down to the maximum, I had a bright screen in front of me. But I didn’t think that this was a clear cause of my inability to sleep.

Sniff

Thinking that this might be the real cause, I touched the top of the smartphone screen. As if drawing a line, various settings came out under the fingertips, and today’s date came out.

… Less than two weeks left until enlistment.

As I pondered on this, I remembered what had happened since I applied for enlistment. I took exams with Mawang and Sehee, went on a trip to Japan, and went to a closed school for the summer.

It seems like it’s not much when you look at it roughly, but when you think about what happened when you went to play, and what happened in between, there were a lot of things. However, just recalling the memories could not calm the anxious mind.

If I went to the army, I wouldn’t be able to do the things I just thought of. Even if I did, it would be possible during vacation or occasionally, and Minah and Taeyeon, office workers, had a headache thinking that it would be hard to keep up with their schedules.

Kiik

At this time, the sound of the door opening was heard. The sound came from the front door, not the bedroom. That doesn’t mean that the current police officer’s house was burglarized, but it was the sound of the Yena room located next to the bathroom being opened.

Beat, beat

“…”

I turned off my smartphone and pretended to sleep at the light footsteps that I thought were Yena. The reason was that I was a bit ashamed of not sleeping at night as an adult and doing things like this.

Closing her eyes, Jena went to the bathroom and waited for her to go back. However, the sound of footsteps came closer not to the bathroom but to the living room where I was.

Beat, beat, beat

Yena, who was walking cautiously, stopped when she came to the sofa where I was lying.

“Sue… Suu…”

Yena called me from a distance close enough that I could hear her breathing.

“Oh, uncle? Uncle, are you sleeping?”

Her voice was different from the usual Yena. Aside from the fact that her pronunciation was inaccurate because she had her front teeth pulled out today, it bothered me that her voice, which was always bright, trembled a little.

“Yeah, no. Uncle is not sleeping.”

Sensing that it was something unusual, I stopped pretending to be asleep and opened my eyes.

“Yena, what’s wrong?”

Even as she got up and saw me sitting on the sofa, Jena shut her mouth for a moment.

“Mister.”

After a gap of just over 10 seconds, she finally told her why she was here.

“I had a bad dream…”

“Okay? A bad dream?”

“Yes, but, that’s it… Uncle, can I sleep with you?”

“Uh, together?”

“Yes, uncle. If you sleep with me, won’t you?”

Jena, who was talking anxiously, asked me to sleep with her and put her hand on my lap and shook it. Even with her pathetic gestures, I couldn’t easily acknowledge her.

“Uh, it’s Yena.”

After thinking for a moment, I put my hand on Jena’s hand, which was holding my knee and shaking it. Holding her small hand like that, I asked just in case.

“Can I sleep with you, Mom?”

It was obvious what would happen in the morning if I slept with Jena. Mawang, Se-hee, and Min-ah would grin, saying that they would date me too, and Tae-yeon would put twin wicks in her eyes and stare at me.

I was asking to prevent that situation, but Jena’s head, which was vaguely visible in the dark, shook.

“No. I want to sleep with my uncle. I like you better…”

“Okay. Come on, let’s go to bed with Mr.

When I was told that I was better than Taeyeon, I got up without hesitation. Anyway, Taeyeon didn’t have an empty seat next to her, and it was me, not Taeyeon, who was called by Yenna.

I woke up and picked up the blanket and pillow with one arm. After roughly shoving her smartphone in the pile of blankets, she held out her empty hand to Jena.

“Come on, Yena. Hand.”

“Yes…”

With a still weak voice, a small, soft hand entered my palm. I took that small, delicate hand and headed to the room together.

Come to think of it, it was the first time I had entered her room. Even if Taeyeon came over to play from time to time, she would only stare through the open door.

“Mister. Here…”

The room I entered with a weak Yenna was smaller than I thought. It was two-thirds the size of her grandmother’s room across from her, and a little less than half the size of the master bedroom. In the center of the room was a blanket.

“Here, sleep. Mister.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The duvet was large enough for adults to use. It seems like Grandma and Taeyeon sleep together and use an adult blanket like this, but today I am sleeping, not the people in this house.

“Now go to sleep, Yena.”

I lay side by side with Jena on the blanket and covered myself with the blanket I had covered on the sofa. I took out the smartphone I had hidden inside and put it on my bedside and looked at Yena.

“Mister.”

Yena didn’t sleep and looked at her with bright eyes. She must have woken up to pick me up.

“Mister. It’s over there.”

“Yeah, yes. Why?”

“Can I sleep with you?”

“You are doing that now.”

“No, not that.”

Yenna, who said no, approached me, to be precise, lifting the blanket I was covering.

“Is it Yena?”

“Hee hee, that’s it.”

Even after hearing my flustered voice, Yena didn’t hesitate to attach a pillow. Yena, who covered her with the same blanket and patted her head right next to her, still looked at me with one eye.

“Mister.”

“Huh? Why? Can’t you sleep?”

“No. But uncle.”

“Why, Yena.”

She turned her body over to lie down to look at Jena. Then she turned around and lay down on me as well, she asked.

“Mister. You know me I had a very scary dream earlier.”

“Okay? What a scary dream it was.”

“It was very, very scary. Uncle, can you tell me what the dream is?”

“No.”

“Yes? Why?”

“It’s scary. Uncle, I hate scary things.”

“Ah, mister!”

Took

As if telling me not to play around, Yenna lightly slapped my chest. Then, in a completely awake voice, he whispered the story of his dream as if telling a secret.

“Mister. What kind of dream did I have?”

“I hate to hear it. Because I am too scared.”

“Uncle!”

“Oh, yes, yes. Mom will wake up Shh!”

“Hee hee, shh!”

Yena, who raised her voice a little, put her index finger to her mouth with a small smile. She continued to tell her story, which she used to do after me.

“You know what? Did you know that I pulled out that tooth?”

“Of course you know. Uncle saw everything.”

“Yes. But. You know. I also pulled out my teeth in that dream.”

“Okay? You pulled out another tooth?”

“Yes. Go mom Even though my teeth aren’t shaking, I just pulled them out.”

It could have turned into a nightmare if he just pulled out his wobbly teeth. And since her mother picked it, it was understandable why Yena wasn’t looking for Taeyeon.

Even while she was still thinking about it, Yena continued her words.

“But there is. Then the uncle appeared.”

“Okay? I? Did I pull my teeth like mom did?”

“No. Uncle? My mother stopped me from picking them.”

“I see. Is that why she came to Uncle?”

“Yes, haaaaam”

It seemed that Jena was getting sleepy now. She yawned so loud that her mouth dropped open, and her words slurred in her slumber.

“And, the old man po… I said yes, so I went.”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to sleep. I feel sleepy.”

“No, is it Yena?”

“Good night.”

Yena didn’t say the words she was evasive of, she turned her back to me and she rolled over. It was the same when I called again.

What?

Hanging out with my girlfriends, she seemed to be dyed in Yena. Or is she originally like this as a woman?

Still, I smiled and closed my eyes. Talking with me made her sleepy, and even if I was worried about her enlistment, the day was set anyway. She had better go to sleep than to worry unnecessarily…

“Mom!”

“Oh, yes. Woke up?”

I was awakened by the voices of Yena and Taeyeon coming from a little far away. Apparently, I fell asleep without even knowing it.

I realized that it was morning as the light filtered through my lightly closed eyelids. At the same time, I wondered if I would sleep better or if I would wake up. The answer to my worries was, of course, to sleep more.

I lay still without opening my eyes to sleep a little longer. Meanwhile, the voices of women who seemed to have already woken up came from outside.

“Ugh, Yena. Did you sleep well?”

“Sister, fix your sleeping habits. Wow, my sister’s hair got in my mouth.”

“Have you all had a good night?”

Hearing the voice, still feeling sleepy, it seemed that all three of them were awake. On the other hand, Yena’s voice, which had been heard first, was energetic, unlike something that had just happened.

“Mom! Mom, it’s morning! Sisters! It’s morning! Wake up!”

“Yes, but yes. Mom, it’s night tonight, so I want to sleep more…”

“No, honey! Wake up! If you are a mother, cook like a mother!”

“You don’t even have breakfast here? How is the hospitality here?”

“I will prepare breakfast for you today.”

It was a conversation full of personality. I was so satisfied with seeing them as they were, I tried to fall asleep.

“Noisy, little! Ah, I wanted to sleep more. But yes Uncle?”

“Mister? Daddy still sleep but mom This is a secret.”

Even though it was a secret, Yena’s voice was loud enough to be heard from here. However, the contents of the secret were shocking enough to awaken my mind that had just fallen asleep.

“Mom. There is me Did you sleep with your uncle?”

“?!”

I was startled and hurriedly got up. Just as I was looking for a way out, I heard footsteps approaching quickly beyond the only door to this room. Next,

“Hey!!!!”

“What are you doing here!”

“Brother?”

“… Jiheon.”

The faces of my girlfriends staring at me. That was the last look they showed before losing their temper.
