Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense - Chapter 182
182 – Side Story – Daily Life 4 Years Later (3)
The long-awaited day of the picnic has finally arrived.
Si-yoon and her husband stood side by side in front of the kindergarten vehicle that came to their house to see the children off.
The sight of the two children, each carrying a cute bag with a penguin character and a squirrel character from the same cartoon drawn on it, wiggling their butts excitedly was incredibly cute.
“Seol-ha, Seol-ah. Have a nice picnic.”
“You’re the older brother, so take good care of your younger sister, okay?”
“huh!”
“I’ll be back!”
At the two people’s request, Seol-ha and Seol-ah waved their hands vigorously, turned around, and got into the car.
“Teacher, please take good care of the children.”
“Of course. Don’t worry, Seol-ha’s mother.”
The gentle-looking kindergarten teacher smiled indifferently on the outside, but inside she felt strange.
It’s still hard to believe that a member of a once world-class girl group is the mother of a kindergarten student she is in charge of.
Even after giving birth to two children, her appearance remains the same. I would believe her even if she were to say that she was using food as a preservative. At this level, she might be a superior race that appears in fantasy novels.
Vroom.
As soon as the children waved their hands excitedly beyond the closed automatic door, the vehicle took off as if it had been waiting, leaving the residential area and disappearing into the distance.
“I hope the kids enjoy their lunch boxes.”
As Yuna, who was vaguely looking at his back, muttered softly, Siyoon wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her forehead.
“It’s something that Mom put a lot of love into, so of course it’ll be delicious. Let’s just go on a cozy date without worrying about anything.”
“From the morning?”
“What’s wrong? You must be tired from making your lunch box. Why don’t you go to a brunch cafe and have a meal?”
Yuna blushed as she was pulled away without resistance by her husband’s actions, who was pulling her while winking one eye and wrapping his arms around her body.
Although the couple had been married for five years, their hearts were still the same as when they were young lovers.
***
The twins had been on picnics with their loving parents before, but this was their first time on a picnic with their teachers and friends, so they were very excited today.
The place we arrived at was a mountain a little outside of Seoul. Although it was a mountain, it was a place with a gentle slope like a mountain behind a neighborhood, so it was a popular date spot with a well-developed walking trail.
The long-awaited time has finally arrived for the children who have been busy chasing after squirrels and visiting a place called Yaksu-teo for the first time.
“Okay, guys. Here you go. Don’t go out there. Just hang out here and we’ll have a nice lunch soon.”
“yes!”
It’s lunch time.
For the children who were secretly looking forward to the lunch boxes they brought from home, this must have been a moment they had been waiting for with bated breath. Some children couldn’t wait any longer and were already taking out their lunch boxes.
And children naturally tend to follow the group they are close with at times like this. Or they may unconsciously walk towards the person they usually want to be with.
“Seolha! Let’s eat lunch together!”
“No! Seol-ha will eat with me!”
“No! Seol-ha decided to eat with me!”
In such a situation, the one who stands out the most is none other than Seol Ha, commonly known as the ‘Prince of the Giraffe Class’. By the way, this title is a name that is secretly used among adults, including teachers.
Compared to her younger sister, who is relatively shy, Seol-ha is always surrounded by people.
It may be because she is naturally bright and her facial features have developed distinctly since a young age, but Seol-ha’s greatest strength is that she ‘does not make enemies.’
I don’t know if it’s an unconscious behavior or a social skill he’s already acquired at a young age, but either way, Seol-ha tends to be friendly to everyone.
Thanks to that, he was popular even among the boys who would be jealous of him for monopolizing the attention of girls.
“Seolha! Come eat with us….”
From noble mtl dot com
“Men, go away!”
“Uh, yeah… Okay.”
The problem is that a thick wall has been built around that friend you really like, making him/her difficult to approach.
“… … .”
In the meantime, Seol-ah silently took off her bag and took out the lunch box inside. Seol-ha, her older brother, silently watched the scene while being caught up in the fight between the women.
It’s not like Seol-ah was bullied at kindergarten.
No, rather, if you ask which side it is, Seol-ah is popular because she inherited her father and mother’s superior genes from a young age and her appearance has begun to blossom.
Because I was not very honest and shy in front of people other than my beloved father, I was unable to approach friends who approached me.
Because of that, he was naturally recognized by the kids around him as a flower on the cliff.
‘I want to eat with my brother too.’
Seol-ah pouted her lips and looked at her brother, who was still among the women.
In fact, the relationship between Seol-ha and Seol-ah is not that easy. If we have to be specific, they are busy bickering like siblings in an ordinary family, and they rarely stick together outside.
However, as I said before, this is largely due to Seol-ah’s personality of not being honest in front of anyone except her father.
In fact, Seol-ah is popular in kindergarten and really likes her older brother who always gives in to her first. If her father is the number 0 person in her heart, then the number 1 person would be the fight between her mother and older brother.
However, I don’t have the confidence to take my popular brother out in front of the kids, and my uniquely shy personality is holding me back again today.
“Seol-ah, aren’t you going to eat with your friends? Do you want to eat with your teacher?”
“Yeah… It’s okay.”
That’s why Seol-ah decided to refuse the teacher’s offer and sit alone on the bench to eat the lunch box her mother made for her. The only person she wanted to eat lunch with was her brother.
At that moment, Seol-ah’s hand touched the lid of the lunch box and the contents inside were finally about to be revealed to the world.
“for a moment!”
“… … ?”
Suddenly a shout was heard from somewhere.
Seol-ah, who had no idea that it was directed at her, turned her head to look for the source of the voice, and before she knew it, she saw Seol-ha standing in front of her, confidently placing her hands on both of her waists.
Seol-ah tilted her head at her brother’s expression, which seemed to indicate that he was angry.
“Park Seol-ah! You promised to eat lunch together with Oppa!”
At the continued shouting directed at Seol-ah, she just blinked blankly.
I definitely made that promise with my brother. However, that was two days ago and Seol-ha just blurted it out, so I never thought that Seol-ha would keep it in her heart.
But I never thought he would come back and keep that promise.
“What about Daon?”
In this embarrassing situation, the only question Seol-ah asked was about the existence of the girl who was her brother’s closest friend. She thought that if it was her brother, she would definitely eat lunch with that girl.
“Daon? She’s over there, why?”
As if asking why he was asking such a thing, he pointed to Daon, who was sitting on a mat in the distance, eating lunch with other girls.
She was also one of the members who participated in the battle for Seol-ha, but she had no choice but to step back because Seol-ha, the person involved, was moved.
“Let’s eat sooner than that! I’m hungry.”
“Uh, yeah… .”
Although she was still young, Seol-ha could tell what her younger sister wanted to say, so she deliberately changed the subject, sat down next to her younger sister, and took out her lunch box.
“If we do one or two, should we open them at the same time?”
“huh!”
“Okay, then one, two… .”
Then, according to the count, he grabbed the lid of the lunch box with both hands, opened it with all his might, and checked the contents inside.
Mom’s homemade lunch box, which was finally revealed, had a different look from the start. It felt like the ideal picnic lunch box for children that you often see on the Internet.
“Wow!”
“pretty…!”
At this, exclamations burst out from the twins’ mouths simultaneously.
From kimbap with ham cut into half-moon shapes to a smiling character, to meatballs and fried tofu, each person’s favorite menu item, sweet egg rolls and Vienna sausages are included as a bonus.
And in another container, there was a cute assortment of desserts, including small pieces of fruit. The cute appearance was a perfect example of a lunchbox, and the two children couldn’t help but smile.
My mom asked me to come back and tell her whether the lunch box was tasty or not, but this is something that I can already tell without even trying it.
“It looks delicious… right?”
“Okay, let’s eat quickly.”
Bam.
“huh?”
Seol-ha picked up her fork and was about to start eating lunch when something fell carefully onto the plate. It was none other than fried tofu sushi.
“Since you don’t have any sushi, I’ll give you some Seol-ah’s!”
In fact, it was just that Yuna didn’t put it in on purpose because she knew that Seol-ha didn’t like fried tofu sushi that much, but it seems that Seol-ha wanted to share the taste of her favorite lunch box menu with her brother.
“Then I’ll give you a meatball too, okay?”
Seol-ha, who had been staring at it, smiled faintly as she moved one of the three meatballs into Seol-ah’s lunch box.
No matter what, siblings are siblings. The only ones who take care of each other the best are each other.
