Chapter 984 – Will the Memory Come Back if I Hit It With a Car?
The method of recovering memories while living normally did work. However, most of the memories that I worked hard until evening were useless, such as where the remote control was.
“Huh! This taste! The piglet that was happily running around in the pig farm and the sungrass that grew up in the hot sunlight make your tongue happy with a good combination!”
The only thing I could use was a stir-fried pork recipe.
“Is it a solar plant that grows under the sunlight?”
“Sun-dried peppers are called Sunflower.”
“If he doesn’t give a shit even for a day, he’s just fine. Ugh… !”
Unlike lunch where we ate pizza in the living room, we ate dinner in the kitchen dining room. Sitting in the somewhat burdensome seat of honor, I looked around at the beauties sitting on my left and right.
“Hey, are you okay? It is delicious?”
According to my memory of only two days, this was the first time I cooked. It was okay when I tasted it earlier, but it felt different from when I saw myself eating it.
Haha!”
At my anxious question, Sohee gave a big smile that didn’t go well with her appearance. He showed me the food he had chewed in his mouth and nodded his head.
“Of course it’s delicious, isn’t it! You made it!”
“Uh, that, thank you.”
“Because I missed this? How does your hand taste?”
Se-hee, who was sitting next to So-hee, also smiled and met blue-black eyes. Holding fresh lettuce, she added a piece of meat to her white rice and continued her words.
“Now I think my brother’s food tastes better than my mother’s.”
“Thank you, thank you.”
“I am more grateful.”
“Yes, Jiheon. Thank you.”
It was Minah, who was sitting to my right, who spoke in a blunt voice. Since she had eaten it earlier, she casually took a bite of the cheongyang pepper, which was quite spicy.
“I am always grateful to Jiheon who always prepares delicious meals for me.”
“No. He, thank you for the delicious meal.”
“Jiheon’s skill is good, so it’s delicious.”
“…”
Everyone thanked her, but Taeyeon just looked at me while quietly squirming. She made eye contact and asked why. As she raised her eyebrows, she said something strange.
“Sweet, will the memory come back if I put it in the car?”
“?!”
“That’s good. Let’s try it later.”
“What are you doing?!”
When she said something shocking to So-hee, she couldn’t stand it and cried out. But the women stopped what they were doing and looked at her with her eyes wide open as if she didn’t know I was going to do this.
“Why, why… ?”
It was as if she was the main character who realized that this was a dream. Everyone stared intently at me, and my body shrank on its own.
“No, brother.”
In this atmosphere, Mr. Se-hee absentmindedly called me. As her dark blue eyes began to tremble, she gave the reason everyone was staring.
“Remember, are you back?”
“Uh, no?”
“No, then, how…”
“What?”
The explanation was given by Mr. Sohee, who was sitting next to him.
“You just acted the same as before you lost your memory. Except for honorifics.”
“Uh, is that so?”
“That’s right. Your tsukkomi skills are exactly the same as before.”
“… Is it so?”
It was said twice in a row, but the last one said with a frown. What kind of life was it that surprised me so much?
“Hey. Then there is.”
At this time, Taeyeon drew attention by raising her voice. As we stared at her, she asked if this was okay.
“Shall I bring you? He called earlier and said he wanted to see you.”
Yes?
“Yena is Taeyeon’s daughter. She is currently 9 years old.”
Mina told me who Yena was. After hearing the explanation, I nodded blankly and let out a thought that suddenly came to my mind.
“Jenaga, are you my daughter?”
“Puff!”
“?!”
“No.”
“Hey?!”
The moment he said this, the table where the dinner was being served turned into a mess. So-hee exploded to the point of scattering grains of rice she was chewing, and Se-hee let out a laugh in surprise.
“Why is Yena your daughter!”
While Minah just shook her head and denied it, Taeyeon shouted with her face reddened.
“Do you really want to go behind?! No! You asshole!”
“Yes yes? That, Taeyeon’s daughter, isn’t it?”
“That’s right! That’s right! But that’s not your daughter! Are you sick! Really!”
“Uh, sorry.”
Taeyeon said she was my fiancé, so she brought up the question just in case. But if she knew this was going to happen, she would have been better off just keeping her mouth shut.
Haha, Taeyeon. Probably not.”
Ms. So-hee shook her head, laughing with her shoulders trembling as her heart exploded. She still let Taeyeon hear her solemn tone.
“If you meet Jiheon now, Yena will be hurt. Rather than right away, it would be better to slowly spread rice cakes and let them meet.”
“Ah, Mr. Uh. I think that would be good.”
After hearing the explanation, Taeyeon calmed down a bit and nodded.
“Jiheon. Do you think so too?”
“Ah yes. I will.”
Whenever I showed a strange or burdensome appearance, they were hurt. I didn’t want to give that experience to a 9-year-old girl.
“Hey, but there you are.”
Around the time the commotion caused by my remarks subsided, Mr. Se-hee caught my attention. She asked cautiously, looking at us with her dark blue eyes.
“Are you going to do it again today?”
“Oh.”
When she said yes, she remembered the pictures she had seen yesterday. All the women at this table were my wives and fiancées. In other words, the meaning of what Mr. Sehee said now is,
“Hmm, wouldn’t it be better to skip today’s walk? Even if that was your usual weekend routine?”
It must have been a walk! Nothing else to think of! Not at all!
“I think so too.”
While she forcibly held on to all of her secret thoughts, Mina agreed with Sohee and added her explanation.
“Didn’t Jiheon get into an accident while taking a walk? I do not recommend.”
After hearing that, I could understand why Sehee hesitated. I didn’t want to go to the place where the person I loved was in an accident.
“… Um, where is it?”
So I thought of going alone. Everyone was hurt every time they saw me unable to recall memories. I said it again because I didn’t want to see it anymore.
“I want to go. Where is it? If you go, you can think of something.”
When I did normal things, small memories came to my mind. If I went to the place where the accident happened, more important memories could come to my mind.
“Hmm…”
“I am against it.”
“I think we can give it a try.”
“Ah, Mr. I’m not sure.”
All of them were taken aback by my argument. But among them, Mr. Sohee, who was worried with a fine frown, nodded.
“Hmm. Jim looks good.”
“Sister.”
“Isn’t Mina like that? That you can try it once. Jim agrees. What do others think?”
“I am in favor.”
“It’s good to try something first. Okay. Good. Let’s do it.”
When Sohee insisted, Taeyeon, who was worried, and Minah, who was skeptical, also accepted. In addition, Mr. Se-hee, who had been against it alone, agreed with a sigh as if he could not help it.
“Haaaaa good If everyone says so, I agree. OK?”
“Um, okay.”
Seeing Se-hee reluctantly agree, So-hee looked back at me. He followed my words while looking at me with benevolence and trust in his blue eyes.
“Then let’s have dinner and go for a walk. You always did that on weekends, right?”
“Uh, yes. Thank you.”
“What do you have to be thankful for? Isn’t it all for you? Isn’t that right, everyone?”
“Yes.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Yes. Okay.”
Everyone nodded to Mr. Sohee who looked around and asked. I hurriedly ate dinner for them, in order not to see their scarred faces any more.
“Then! 2 minutes later! See you at the front door, not Shabon!”
“Two minutes is too short, sister. I have to brush my teeth too.”
“Then see you in 20 minutes!”
“It is too long.”
“I was going to say two years!”
“Hey! Done! Just look at the front door! Stop messing around and come out quickly!”
Although we quarreled a little, after dinner, we each went to our rooms to get ready. I watched Taeyeon heading to the living room and then headed to my room. I opened the door and went in and looked around at the unfamiliar yet familiar scenery.
“Oh right.”
It was when I stood in front of the closet that I opened my mouth in a room that felt like déjà vu. Even at the end of the transition from May to June, it was chilly without wearing anything. So I was trying to choose a coat, but I pulled out a black blazer to check.
“Why?”
The design was just okay and the brand wasn’t that famous either. I don’t know why, but it felt like a very important thing to me.
“Isn’t that too much?”
“!”
At this time, Sehee’s voice was heard from behind. As she turned around hastily, she caught her eyes as she entered with a grin.
“Why. I’m surprised? I thought you would know I was coming.”
Se-hee, who had entered with her light smile, tilted her head to one side. Looking over her shoulder at the blazer in my hand, I stood side by side and asked.
“Are you going to wear that?”
“Uh, no. I just remembered something.”
“What?”
“Oh, is this really important? I think so.”
“It’s a bit unfortunate.”
It was a little cute to see her frowning the back of her nose while saying that she was sorry. Then, Mr. Sehee lightly took my blazer and told me why this was important.
“You bought this when you and your sister went shopping for the first time. Even if she couldn’t do that, when she remembered that her sister had chosen her, she was going to give her a kiss. That’s too bad.”
“Ah yes…”
“Because I remembered that it was important. I will give you a prize.”
“Yes?”
I thought Sehee was going to kiss me on the cheek. But she casually tossed her blazer into her closet, and then lightly went back and wrapped her arms around her waist and hugged her.
“Oh.”
“Sleep, brother. Prize here.”
Took
Eventually, he even buried his small face on my back. As I was surprised by her sudden skinship and stiffened her body, Se-hee whispered softly in her voice mixed with a sigh.
“Brother. Don’t worry.”
“Yes? What?”
“I know that oppa doesn’t like us right now.”
“!”
“See. It’s all obvious like this.”
I was startled for a moment, and Se-hee giggled. Then, this time, with a slightly trembling voice, he stabbed me right in the middle.
“Now, I like my aunt better, right? Than us?”
“… That,”
“Are you okay. Because it’s all obvious. I did just that. Because we did something. Oh, but. Did I tell you not to worry? What could it be?”
Se-hee’s voice, speaking brightly now, seemed to squeeze out her bravado. Having already caught my heart, I couldn’t say anything and just listened quietly.
“Brother. I am confident. Oppa, right now, right now, at this moment, even if Taeyeon likes Aunt Taeyeon better, I have the confidence to flirt with that oppa.”
“…”
“Because, brother. I am Baek Se-hee. From the time my brother was single-minded with my sister, he kept flirting with me from then on, and now we are married together, Baek Se-hee. I am such a person. You seduced me once, can you seduce me twice?”
Aww… !
Even if he spoke lightly, the hand hugging his waist did not. Se-hee, who had been hugging her as if she would never let go, finally told her that she was starting to tremble.
“So, so, brother. When I trick you into coming over again, wait until then, just until then. I like my aunt, don’t leave alone, wait for me. Don’t abandon us OK?”
He opened his mouth again to answer, but no words came out. It was difficult to breathe, as if this stuffy feeling had clogged my throat.
“… Excuse me,”
“Now, the award is over.”
When I tried to answer that I knew, Se-hee let me go. She turned her body away before I could turn, so she didn’t show me what expression she had.
“Then see you at the porch later.”
It was the same when I left my room. Instead of a crying face like a voice, I was just staring at the flowing black hair, and I stood blankly. It was when I started to feel the dampness on my back that I moved.
