Chapter 64 – Episode 64

I will know for sure after coming to the wedding hall. How much do we care about other people’s opinions during our daily lives? Although you can pretend to be indifferent to the gaze of others, a person who is truly indifferent is like a rare animal.

The Ohana of the world were not greatly affected by other people’s gaze, but they did not attract attention at all. What. You probably have a lot of confidence in yourself.

“Ugh.”

She’s only a few steps away from the wedding, but her shoulders keep trying to slump. As if someone was holding it by hand and folding it.

“What are you doing? Straighten your shoulders.”

“Uh. Yes.”

He pays attention to Ohana’s words and rubs her shoulders. A fancy foreign car pulling into the parking lot in the distance. No. Just looking at a car makes my shoulders fold for no reason. I’m embarrassed myself. Damn it. Very.

“Benz, piemtabreu. Is there anything wrong? I am saying that this Ohana is with you today. “It’s much more luxurious than that car?”

“Just because the name of the Genesis Eleven fan club is ‘Luxury’ doesn’t mean it’s a drip, right?”

“Uhihi.”

Thanks to Ohana covering her mouth with one hand and smiling like an idiot, the tension is somewhat relieved. No matter how many times I think about it, it’s not enough. I felt fortunate to be here today with Ohana.

“You’re a few years older than me.” “Everyone drives a car.”

I came to the wedding venue by taking the subway and bus. Why does he look so cool when he casually parks in the distance and comes out of the driver’s seat with his suit coat in his hand? Should I say that he looks somewhat mature or mature?

‘It’s like watching the seniors burst into the middle of the freshman learning center with a cup in hand.’

When I just entered college, why did my 3rd and 4th year seniors seem so adult-like? Tsk.

When I look at that, I get hungry and imagine myself driving the car and taking the women I live with in a studio apartment for a drive.

‘It would be nice to pick a car.’

The scope of activity will expand incomparably compared to now. I also travel often. I can easily visit places I wouldn’t normally dare to go.

‘I want to pick a car.’

The change from “It would be nice to pick it up” To “I want to pick it up” Was an instant.

At that moment, a voice came from next to me, cutting my thoughts.

“If you buy a car, you pay a lot of taxes.”

“…”

“Also, your ancestors pay for the gas. At least we, the four of us living in a studio, aren’t greedy people? “My crotch is torn.”

At Ohana’s words, I said “Sssss” And licked my lips. It feels even weirder to hear something like that from a kid who is spending all his money on virtue.

“Tina?”

“He just stares at the parking lot with an expression on his face that makes him want to get behind the wheel just once. Is there a fool in the world who wouldn’t know that? I guess my brother is a man too. “I see that you are interested in cars.”

“When am I going to buy my own car?”

If I look at the tail now, I feel like I won’t be able to have it even after 5 years.

“Getting a job. If you work hard to save money, you will buy it quickly. Brother is. Because I like people.”

I don’t think it would have affected me as much if I had heard such hopeful words from someone else’s mouth. Since Ohana said that, I feel confident that it will really happen. I honestly don’t know if he’s a good person.

“Anyway.”

Ohana, who had already arrived at the entrance to the first floor, asked.

“Do you know anyone?”

“Uh? “There is.”

To be honest, it was a face that many people knew. However, being a familiar face and being someone you could talk to were two different things.

I wasn’t really a standout student at university. Everyone says that engineering students say that. If you think about it that way, are the people who come from far away dressed up in sophisticated things even though they are the same age or older than me like some kind of fantasy animal?

“So, all of your friends who used to go to PC rooms or hang out with you didn’t come?”

“… What. You must be busy one way or another. Because there are children in the countryside.”

“But most of them are in Seoul, right?”

Ohana had a puzzled expression on her face. I was able to understand their feelings a little bit. Still, they sent congratulatory money.

But honestly, I thought at least one person would come.
I didn’t know she wouldn’t come.
Ohana said after hearing what I said.

“To begin with, the number of friends my brother talks about is only a few. “At most there are five or six people.”

When I think about it now, the difference in the size of the groups I walked around in as a college student was enormous. We continued to play only with the same kids we used to play with.

In the case of the group of insiders who gathered and chatted loudly, it felt like I was seeing an army when everyone was wearing jackets and walking together.

“What. Because I have you today, it’s much better than having a hundred friends. My brother was like that when we first met, but he needs to be confident. Are you saying that just because you say something to him doesn’t mean he’s going to throw a punch at you? Even gangsters aren’t like that these days.”

“…”

“You say communication is a skill?”

“Okay.”

“Are your high school friends any better?”

“What. My high school friends are a bit better. Now, I still send messages often.”

I guess we came early. There were still nearly 40 minutes left until the wedding started. I arrived 10 minutes earlier than the app told me.

“Would you like some coffee?”

“No! I’m going to eat a lot at the buffet anyway. “What?”

“You really came here to go to the buffet.”

“Of course. “It wasn’t even your own wedding, but the quality of the food you ate there was the lasting memory of someone else’s wedding?”

When I heard it, it was true. What I really remembered from my few wedding visits was the quality of the buffet. It’s not that the galbitang is particularly bad, but I guess I should say that I feel somewhat disappointed when I get just a bowl of galbitang.

‘It’s creepy.’

I can’t remember the details of the wedding where I ate galbitang, but the slightly disappointing reactions of other people when I ate galbitang remained clearly in my mind.

“After. Still, I’m glad I came with you. I really didn’t know that no one from this damn university would come. “If I were standing here alone, I would be suffocated.”

You probably shouldn’t have been standing here in the first place. It must have been crushed in a far corner and hidden until the wedding started.

That’s what they say.

I see the guys who were close to Bon Gyu-hyung exchanging greetings in the parking lot, then giggling here and there and then walking towards us as if they wanted to go up to the 10th floor.

As I said before, it was a face everyone knew. Okay. A familiar face. It’s awkward, so I have to rummage around.

‘It’s like this even though I went fishing with Bon Gyu-hyung a few times.’

In fact, I was exchanging greetings with my older brothers because the group of people in the same class over there, who I had no contact with, was much more refreshing.

A long time. How are you. Blah blah blah.

Simple, obvious words were being exchanged very naturally. Is it like a social gathering?

“Gulp.”

That’s something I can think of well. Why? When it comes right in front of you, it feels like your hair will turn completely white.

“How are you? “This guy was really nervous today.”

“It wouldn’t have been like this if it had been someone I didn’t know.”

Really.

If it were someone I didn’t know, I think I would have felt more at ease with them, feeling like I was dealing with customers at a convenience store. The people there were people who knew me from my college days. As a result, for no reason, the immature side I showed in college kept popping up.

Uh. It comes this way.

I was about to take a deep breath, but before I could, Ohana grabbed my hand and held it tightly.

“Uh! Hyunwoo. “You came early?”

“Who is it?”

“Hyunwoo, Hyunwoo. Don’t you remember that time? “I got drunk while fishing under the Solim Bridge.”

“Ah! “That little cone!”

Kkokkalkon?

… And Ohana, who was next to her, muttered softly. My face got hot.

“I had that makgeolli back then. Pilseong asks, “What were you then?” I saw them stabbing jellyfish with a cone. “Are you the guy who said it would be fun and tried to do it but ended up slipping?”

Fuck. When I was a college student, I was a real loser.

“Ah. I remember. I thought the fishing was perfect, so I followed along and ended up wasting nothing. They were disappointed because they only poured a lot of makgeolli with the pizza and green onion pancakes they bought at the supermarket. A junior who Bongyu said was close to him. He was quite a stickler in first grade.”

“Uh, okay. That Hyunwoo.”

“Didn’t you stick around a lot with Gyuham too?”

“Uh. That’s right.”

A strange sound of laughter was heard from next to me. If Ohana wasn’t holding her hand, I might have run away right now.

“… Hello. “Brothers.”

“Uh, okay. It’s been a really long time.”

I thought everyone was quite an adult even when they were in college. It’s been a while since I last saw you, and you’ve become more of an adult. In the case of Gyujin, who went to a wedding before, his daughter was already 4 years old. My wife came next to me and was holding my daughter’s hand.

By the way, why has everyone’s appearance improved so much?

Except for one person, everyone was force-fed. More than your body, especially your face, you feel more confident.

It seemed like this wasn’t the only one who thought things had changed.

“Hyunwoo, you’ve changed quite a bit?”

“I know. No. They didn’t recognize me because I looked like this. What is that kid I remember? He was a kid there who was reading fantasy novels. Right now, I feel like I’m a really successful person.”

It was just as Ohana said. There was nothing to be particularly scared or nervous about. When people were having a conversation, it wasn’t like fists were thrown or uncomfortable words were thrown straight away. Why was I so scared that I did shadow-boxing alone?

“Is there anyone next to you?”

“Ah. Finally, I ask. This bastard. To be honest, I was always curious too.”

“Ah. This place…”

I was about to introduce her to Ohana, but before I could, she lifted her hand, which Ohana was holding, and said,

“Hello! She is called Ohana. “I’m her girlfriend.”

With a thud, a kick came from an invisible angle and landed on her buttocks.
“Yes, girlfriend… “

My brothers all click their tongues at my words.

“Wow. “What is this?”

“Hyeonwoo. From today onwards, you are my best little brother. “Brother, can you please help me?”

“I’ll get some energy. Junior. Thank you.”

It seems like a joke. It felt like something desperate, not a joke. He holds my hand tightly with both hands and even prays earnestly to God.

I felt like he really wanted to meet a woman and even get married.

Above all, the atmosphere itself could not be more comfortable. Is it possible to create such a bright atmosphere just by having one Ohana in the audience? It seemed like the older brothers had the same thought. In fact, Ohana played a big role.

“Can I listen to the story about the Kokkal Cone in more detail later while we eat?”

Let’s ask as if we’re really curious.

One of the older brothers, who continued to speak with a distinctive Busan accent, quickly hid behind his strong-looking older brother and spoke.

“Sure. However. Ugh, hey. Why am I so embarrassed? Ah, you are really so pretty.”

“Lol. Thank you!”

If it was a normal Ohana, you’d say, ‘Hmm haha. That’s me! I would have said, ‘Ohana is amazing!’ The current Ohana was truly perfection itself.

“I’m jealous. Hyunwoo, are you going to go up to the 10th floor?”

“Ah. Go up first. “We’ll go separately.”

“Okay. See you above.”

“Yes.”

The conversation was so smooth that I couldn’t proceed. Furthermore, the reason why we don’t go up together is because I don’t think it will be difficult to maintain a pleasant expression.

I don’t know that it was possible because Ohana was by my side. But apart from that, what should I do when I feel good?

It was difficult to explain something in precise words. As a man, it felt so good that I felt mildly dizzy. If I were to put a cigarette in my mouth right now, my head would just spin. Still, I had no problem holding it in.

“Ah. I’m craving a cigarette. “Krrrr.”

Because this one is much more delicious. Ohana’s fingers were holding my hand much tighter than mine. Reliably.
