After 10 minutes, the door opens.
Seol Yoon-hee, wearing a coat over a flower-patterned dress, came out of the room with a shy face.
Then he made eye contact with Do-jun and said, blushingly.
"Uh......when?"
Seol Yoon-hee looks up at herself and is restless.
Do-joon thought, "Why did it take so long to wear it?" But if he put it out of his mouth, Seol Yoon-hee would be upset.
"That suits you."
"Well, is that so?"
"Yes. Shall we start now?"
"Yes!"
Dojun got up from the sofa and walked to the front door, followed by Seol Yoon-hee smiling.
And Yong-yong, who was looking at the two, shook his head and muttered.
"You're both very insensitive.
* * *
Arriving at home on a half-hour walk, Megabox Theater near Isu Station.
Seol Yoon-hee, who was browsing through the movie posters on the wall one by one, turned around and looked at Do-jun.
"Daddy, is there anything you want to see?"
"Um.... ...you?"
"I'm fine with anything."
"I can see anything...…."
Do-joon looked at the movie posters while touching his chin.
Movies of various genres, including thriller, romance, noir, comedy, etc.
I don't usually watch movies, so I couldn't tell what was fun.
It was also my first time coming to the movie theater itself since I returned to Earth.
Clap clap.
After Yong-yong jumped in place to watch out for ventilation.
I told Seol Yun-hee with a naive and shallow smile like a child.
"I want to see this!
"Yes, what is it?"
Yongyong stood under the wall with the poster.
It was a box office hit that already attracted more than 10 million viewers, topping the list of films currently on screened.
The poster showed two young men in suits smiling broadly.
"Oh, people say it's fun. I think all the kids in my class have seen it once...…."
Seol Yoon-hee murmured.
Since the movie was about Hunter, it seemed to be attracted to Hunter Academy cadet. In addition, the current society of Korea, or the world, has been so popular that it is no exaggeration to say that it is centered around Hunter.
"The whole class saw it?"
Dojun asked with a serious face.
Embarrassed by the expression, Seol Yoon-hee nodded cautiously.
Do-jun, who heard from somewhere that children these days are sensitive to trends and that friends who are behind them are likely to be left out, decided to see the youth Hunter today unconditionally.
"......do you want a reservation?"
"Yes, but do we have to do their stuff, too?"
"Yes, because I can't hold on to it......... I bought four because I thought that would be better. Then I'll make a reservation for the earliest time."
"I beg you, then."
"Yes."
Seol Yoon-hee walked to the window to make a reservation.
Dojun sat on a chair nearby.
..........
Yong-yong, who was sitting next to Do-jun, looked at the couple across the street.
To be exact, the popcorn that the couple was holding.
The sweet and savory smell of popcorn stimulated Yong-yong's nose.
Yong-yong told Do-jun, who was looking at his smartphone.
"Master."
"Why?"
Yong-yong pointed at the popcorn that the couple was holding with his front foot.
His eyes glistened brightly and fell on his eyes were glistening.
Although he didn't say anything, Do-jun woke up smiling as he realized what he wanted to say.
"The same thing as that?"
"My master is also a big man, unlike anyone else.
Yong-yong wagged his tail.
And after a while.
Situated in one hand with caramel popcorn and a glass of coke, Dojun put the popcorn in the mouths of Yong-yong and Carthiel one by one.
"Delicious!"
"It's sweet."
then
Yong-yong made eye contact with Seol Yoon-hee, who brought a movie ticket.
I coughed my throat as if I had a phlegm.
Like a kid caught by his mother eating snacks secretly at night.
"Would you like some water?"
Seol Yoon-hee, sitting next to Do-jun, pulled the lid of the bottled water from her bag and held it out to Yong-yong.
I thought he would be mad, but Yong-yong was embarrassed by her kindness.
I drank the water she had drained.
"I'm going to eat right after the movie, so don't eat too much?"
Yong-yong nodded.
'Something... ...something's happening...…'
* * *
The story of the movie was simple.
Two young men aiming for Hunter met at the Academy and became friends.
I went out for the weekend and got into a crack in my curiosity.
The crack was actually an S-class major crack and faced the worst situation that could not come out until the crack was cleared due to "twisting," but it was a big context for the two to work together to live in an S-class major rift.
The conclusion is that within the cracks, the bodies of S-class hunters were found, and using their weapons and equipment, they eventually caught the boss monster and punished the crack, and people in the world were praised as heroes.
"In the beginning, I thought it was a comedy, but later it was very moving."
Seol Yoon-hee said, wiping away her tears slightly.
In the last scene of the escape, the scene of the two young men struggling to save each other was the best, and Do-joon nodded as if he sympathized.
"Other things! Let's see other things!"
Yong-yong made a fuss and said,
I think he watched the movie very impressively.
Moving on to the middle of the movie, I didn't even put popcorn in my mouth.
I'm glad everyone's satisfied.'
Watching each other chattering.
Dojun smiled.
* * *
After watching the movie, when I came outside, the sun went down, and it was dark.
Street lamps in the city were shining on the side of the road in place of the sun.
A short walk along the street lights showed a large two-story building with a sign reading " 이".
"How much scholarship did you say you got?"
"What? Why all of a sudden?…."
The menus listed on the simple menu at the entrance.
There were various parts, and most of the price range was well over 40,000 won per person.
It was too much money for the student to pay.
'Well, if it's not enough, I can help.'
When you open the door, you go in.
You can see the interior of the store with a feeling of hanok.
When I went up to the second floor following the clerk's guidance, the clerk, who had cleared the sign "reservation seat" in the room, said with his two hands, "I don't know if Seol Yoon-hee had made a reservation in advance."
"Please press the bell when ordering."
Dropping.
The clerk bent down and closed the sliding door.
When Dojun looked at the menu, he realized again that it was expensive.
Up until now, I had eaten beef twice for a get-together, but it was relatively cheap, costing 15,000 won per person or unlimited refill.
a gulp
Yong-yong swallowed his saliva while looking at the menu.
"Should I mix the parts and order about six servings?""
At Seol Yoon-hee's question.
Do-joon mumbled to Yong-yong again, looking at Yong-yong again.
"......well."
"You can order more while eating the hat."
I ordered sirloin, chuck flap tail, and skirt meat for 2 people each.
And after a while.
The clerk set up the table and put in the charcoal.
I put the beef on the plate on the table.
"Enjoy your meal. If you need anything, you can tell me."
After the clerk left.
Dojun put sirloin on the grill with tongs.
tooth gain
As the scarlet flesh gradually turned brown, the juices flowed down and the strong meat scent spread out.
When Do-jun lifted the meat for a while, Yong-yong's eyes followed the meat.
"Oh. Right. Yoon-hee."
"What?"
"I thought you said you might enter the dormitory before, how's it going? Isn't it a requirement to get a scholarship this time?"
I knew from the book that adolescent children needed a private room.
Today, Do-joon, who felt certain about Seol Yoon-hee changing clothes in his room, suddenly thought of asking about the dormitory she mentioned when writing the contract.
If you go into the dormitory, you don't have to move.
"Gi, dormitories.....?"
Seol Yoon-hee avoided Do-joon's gaze.
If she performed above the average, the academy was providing the cadets with dormitories set up on the site, and in her case, she was able to earn incentives and get a chance to enter the dormitory if she wanted.
But.
"When you get into the cabin......... what happens to me?'
Dad's contract with Dojun.
Instead of providing Dojun and Seol Yoon-hee with a living environment.
It was like a kind of work contract for domestic work.
However, when he enters the dormitory, he does not have to sign a contract, and as a result, Do-joon becomes a stranger, not a "daddy" anymore.
'That's... ...no.'
But just because I don't like myself.
Even though I could enter the dormitory, I thought it would be a nuisance to continue living with Do-joon.
"......what do you think of him?"
"Huh?"
"I'm going into the dorms...…."
"What do you think?"
"Well... ...if I say it's a requirement, do you want me to go in?…."
Seol Yoonhee bit her lips.
He looked at Do-jun with anxious eyes.
said Dojun, turning the meat upside down.
"Don't go if you don't want to go in."
"What?"
"Don't you want to stay at home?"
".........."
"I like it when you'"
Always a clean house without a speck of dust.
And when you come back to that kind of house, dinner is ready.
They don't have to do any chores such as collecting garbage or paying utility bills.
All this was possible because of Seol Yoon-hee.
If she went to the dormitory, it would have been quite difficult.
'And I have to feed them.'
Dojun looked at Yong-yong and Karsiel, who stared at the fire.
"Yoon-hee?"
Dojun shook his palm in front of Seol Yoon-hee's eyes staring blankly at him.
Seol Yoon-hee's face, which had been absent-minded, heated up and said, leaping up from her seat.
"Well, I'm gonna go to the bathroom."
"Uh... ...yes."
It was like I chewed my tongue at the end.
Dojun tried not to point it out.
Seol Yoon-hee opened the sliding door and went outside.
The moderately ripe beef on the grill was put on a stone plate placed on the outside of the grill.
Then I put a piece of meat into the mouth of Yongyong and Karsiel.
"Yi, this taste..."
Yong-yong's eyes are wide open.
Yong-yong, who was savoring the beef in his mouth, closed his eyes.
And I thought about the taste of Braised Short Ribs and Braised Spicy Chicken that Seol Yoon-hee used to make.
This is
It's a delicacy enough to rival their strongholds.
* * *
Seol Yoon-hee who came out.
He looked at himself in the reflector installed at the entrance to the parking lot.
the unknowingly upward corners of the mouth
And the flushed cheeks.
I like it when you'
Remember what Dojun said.
Despite the chilly night air, my face heated up.
And it started from the day I first met Dojun.
The days we've been together so far have passed like a lantern.
Okay, that would help me. Well, let's draw up a contract.
Now that I think about it.
It was a ridiculous contract.
Dad's contract.
I almost laughed when someone heard it.
"...ha."
at first
If I get a grade to enter the dormitory.
I was going to complete the one-year contract and enter the dormitory right away.
After saying thank you for the harvest for a year.
But
It hasn't even been three months since we signed the contract.
I felt like we were together for decades.
I can't imagine living apart.
The kind of feeling I don't even want to imagine.
I'll have to be independent one day, but...….'
While attending the academy.
I wanted to stay in this house a little longer until I became an adult.
