Chapter 20 – Family Travel.

“Ah… Okay?”
“Why are you so surprised? Do you even have a girlfriend?”
“No way…”

Looks, but can’t speak. Because that person is my older sister, I can never tell. But my sister seemed to think differently.

“…”
“Ugh.”

For a moment, she felt her sister’s sharp gaze, but she gritted her teeth and ignored it. No, did she mean to tell her mother? Our naive older sister… ?

“So, where do you want to go?”
“Hmm…”

Often people say that. The place doesn’t matter. If you’re with someone you like, you’re happy, no matter how boring it is.
I was just that case. Anyway, only the shape of the destination is different, that’s what it is, the people I go with are important. I’m sorry to my parents, but the best way to travel is to go with someone you like.

“What? Mom, don’t you have a place you want to go? I’m fine anywhere.”

Unfortunately, as a filial son, I was unable to say such a thing and chose to respond obediently. Rejection is surprisingly difficult. When I see people telling me not to hold back, I tell them to hold back a little longer. So what.
Still, in three days, my sister and I will be living together, so we can hang out all day long without needing attention from anyone anymore… Have a little patience.

“… Me!”
“Huh?”
“Sister?”

Just when I was giving up, my sister suddenly raised her hand. It wasn’t an announcement, it just seemed cute that he wanted to express his opinion somehow.

“Why?”
“Nana… Ah… I have something to do…”
“What are you going to do? What?”
“Ugh… That is…”

Perhaps the older sister did not tell her mother about her job. Well, who would say that they get paid for drawing dirty pictures? As well as nonsense. … Is this a surprising number?
Anyway, I supported my sister’s opinion.

“Isn’t it that you can’t go on a trip because your sister is working?”
“Oh, so?”

As if her sister was right, she nodded her head vigorously. He’d probably say he needed a protector, and that’s me. Even for an older sister, she wore her hair well.

“Then would you like to stay home? Can you be alone?”
“… !”
“I don’t think that’s what it meant…”

In the end, the merciless three-day, two-night trip began.

✘✘✘

“It’s all here~”
“I’ll park and come.”
“”…””

Of course, among all the tourist attractions, it is Gyeongju. Is it really necessary to come to a place that I wouldn’t go to on a school trip these days… Of course, going as a group and going with a family will feel different, but I still hate it.
Above all, the smell of cow dung from the moment you get off the train station. No matter how touristy it is, I feel the fact that the countryside is the countryside.
Anyway, we entered Bulguksa Temple, the representative tourist attraction in Gyeongju.

“Oh my, what is this? Pretty~”
“It’s a description. Just go.”
“Yes honey. Don’t buy useless things. Throwing it away every day.”
“It’s noisy.”

The main road coming out through the big red front gate. No matter how much it has gone out of fashion, I was amazed at the crowds that were still there. It’s a tourist spot, right? It was also snowing, so it looked different than usual.
We followed the mother who was excited alone and the father who stopped him.

“Aren’t you shy anymore?”
“What… ?”
“No. Nothing.”

Just the day before yesterday, he would have been embarrassed to even hold my hand, but now, as if he’s quite immune, he casually holds my hand and puts it in his pocket. If it is a great development, it is a great development. It’s like I’m not even aware of it.

“Son, let’s take a picture here.”
“Plaguy.”
“All that remains is a photograph.”
“Ehh.”

A bridge over the pond inside Bulguksa Temple. There were a lot of people taking pictures, so we decided to take pictures too.
I took a picture of the three of my mom, dad, and older sister, and finally took a picture of the entire family by talking to a passer-by. It was a family photo taken for the first time in years.

“Take a picture of both of them~”
“Two people?”
“Ugh…”

I didn’t have a big deal, but when I saw my sister in trouble, I wanted to play a joke.

“Come on, Cheese-“
“Cheese.”
“… Chi-yeot?!”

My arm was wrapped around her sister’s side, and her other arm was tucked under her hamstrings, lifting her sister up. Embarrassed, my older sister had no choice but to hug me naturally, and her picture was taken as she held the princess.

“Is your back okay?!”
“No way. My sister is light, so what?”
“Huh… !”

I headed further inside while receiving a massage from my older sister Kong Kong Kong. As long as her parents were there, I couldn’t openly tease her, so I had no choice but to do something like this. Although, honestly, I think she’ll see them as good siblings as long as they don’t even kiss.
Her red-eared sister kept hitting me silently until I hugged her.

‘It’s been a while…’

Dabotap Tower I saw during a field trip in middle school. Looking at this tower, I feel that this is why it is a cultural property. The building was restored in the middle, but the tower survived without collapsing.
When I was sentimental for some reason, my sister tugged at my collar with an amused expression.

“Why?”
“Excuse me…”
“Oh.”

At the place where the sister pointed, there were parents who were showing a romantic appearance for her parents. Come to think of it, did her dad say he confessed to her mom here? To go through elementary, middle and high school together and even get married, this is true love.

“Sister.”
“Huh… ?”
“Would you like to go another way now?”
“The other way… ?”
“Did you not want to be alone with your sister?”
“No… That is…”
“Mom and Dad are doing that, but we can’t disturb them.”
“That… But…”

Thanks to my parents, I was able to be with my older sister. That doesn’t mean you can’t completely escape Bulguksa, but at least you can be in a different place from your parents.

[Have a cozy time together ^^]

She left a text message for her mother and left the place where the stone Towers were. Maybe when I play with my sister, she will come out to find me. Or rather good.

“Hmm…”

Cultural assets such as Bulguksa are fun to look around. The main thing is to walk down the main road, see the surrounding scenery, and have a chat, not necessarily to see something.
But my sister and I, who had already entered the deep end and had seen everything, had nowhere to look. Where there is a huge statue of Buddha, my parents are taking their seats.
The weather is cold, and I want to go to a cafe to rest, but unfortunately there is no such cafe in Bulguksa Temple.

“I have to go out too.”
“It’s okay… ?”
“I’m not going alone, we’re together, it doesn’t matter.”
“Huh…”

My sister, who had a happy expression inside, held my hand again. Every time I held my hand, my heart kept beating, which made it a little difficult.

“Oh, there’s a cafe over there.”

I didn’t see it when I went in, but as soon as I came out, there was a very pretty cafe across the street. The roof and exterior walls are all decorated with tiles, probably because it is near Bulguksa Temple, and the windows are open, so the light is good, so it looks like a shader mode has been installed.

“Two iced americanos and two waffles.”
“Yes~ Please sit down and wait~”

Fortunately, the timing was perfect, and there were only one or two couples in the cafe, so we were able to sit comfortably. When I seated my sister in front of me, she bowed her head.

“What’s the matter? Does your stomach hurt?”
“Oh, no…”
“Then why?”
“That… On that…”

It seems embarrassing to see that the ears are red. Come to think of it, I’ve never sat face to face with my older sister on vacation, no, not at all. It is said that they have met face to face in the atmosphere, but never in an ordinary place. Maybe that’s why I’m going backwards… It’s not
She said, holding her sister’s hands.

“My sister’s hands are warm.”
“… !”

She kept looking only at her sister until she turned her head away and she looked at me again. She didn’t know that she would continue to look at it, but eventually succeeded in meeting her eyes with her surrendered sister.

“Ugh…”
“Two cups of Americano you ordered and two waffles came out~”
“Ah yes-.”

It’s a little strange on a cold day, but it didn’t matter because the inside of the cafe was warm. My sister must have been a bit hungry, as soon as she received the waffle, she took a big bite.

“Right noona, how did the work go?”
“The rough is finished…”
“Oh… It’s fast, it’s fast.”

In the meantime, my sister took another bite of the waffle.

“Jiwoo…”
“Huh?”

As I was fiddling with my sister’s empty hand, her hand that wasn’t holding a waffle, her sister, who looked slightly down at her, removed her hand and said,

“Erase it, come back next week…”
“Uh. And then, after two weeks, I was discharged.”
“Ah… Huh…”
“But why did you ask?”
“Oh, that, just…”
“Why? Do you think you will be lonely without me?”
“…”

Uh, I must have hit the mark, my sister’s expression instantly turned into a tearful look. I tried to comfort my sister and held her hand again.

“No way. You lived without me for over a year anyway, can’t you wait two weeks?”
“Give and take away… No…”
“…”

I gave it and took it… Certainly no one would be offended if someone gave me a gift and then took it back. I received a text message telling me to go to work after passing the interview, but the next day I received a text message saying that the result was wrong, the pain would be indescribable.

“I hate it too.”
“Well, then…”
“I have to go anyway. If I live my life doing whatever I want to do, I’ll be in big trouble.”
“Boo…”

My sister sucked on the Americano with a pouty expression, and I took the straw and sucked on it too.

“… !”
“I just need to play enough to not regret it next week.”
“Really… ?”
“Huh. Enough to make me sick of it.”
“Ah, I’m not bored…”
“Is it really so? Maybe you’ll get bored? I will play until I get bored of you too.”
“Boo…”

Okay. Enough to get bored.
To the point where I won’t regret breaking up with my sister.

✘✘✘

“He sent me a really strange text message. Where have you been!”
“The two of them were so close to each other that I let them go. What is Mom talking about?”
“Heh heh heh.”

She warmed up in a warm café and came out on a call to her mother. After dinner, she returned home early as the sun had already set.

“The room is very nice.”

I didn’t expect much, but it was a five-star hotel and a large room with an impressive drawing of stars on the floor. Because it was a double suite, there were two king-size beds, and it was a perfect room with a TV and even a massage machine.
Dad said confidently.

“Dad worked hard.”
“What happened?”
“I’m going on a trip with my family, so this should be enough.”
“As expected, Dad.”

I shared a room with my mom, my sister, and my dad. I felt sorry for her, but since this was natural, I couldn’t force myself to beg her. If I was in the same room as my sister, I would have kissed her as soon as she came in.
I wasn’t sleepy, but it was past 10 o’clock, the time when adults start to get sleepy.

“Good night. Don’t stay on your phone until late.”
“No matter how late I sleep, I wake up earlier than Dad.”
“Uh-huh, look at this guy?”

I used my cell phone without thinking in the bed next to my dad while he was sleeping. It was probably the first time the whole family gathered together and it was nice to travel, but there was still a thought in my head that I wanted to be alone with my sister.

‘What are you going to do, sister? .’

By now, her mother may be showering her with stormy questions, or her mother may be too tired to fall asleep early and lie down herself. I hope she doesn’t just masturbate where her mother is… Eyy, no matter how hard it is…

‘I want to stick with my sister…’

The moment I thought, my eyes, which were about to close, opened, and I turned on the smartphone that vibrated.

[Sister]

It was the first talk from my older sister. The thought that her sister had spoken to her first made her feel better.

[What are you doing?!]
[Let’s go to the convenience store]
[Gurang!]

… Still, it will take some time to get used to this tone.
