[CARNATIONS (2)]

I wont give you carnations anymore!

It had been a long time since Baekryeon shouted with a red face and revealed her true intentions.

Of course, I still made ramen every Parents Day.

Some days, she even came to ask for different noodles.

Oppa Eunha. Do you want to eat ramen at my house today? (1)

Ugh. Look, Baekryeon. Youre asking me to go eat ramen at the Blue House. Why should I go all the way to the Blue House to eat ramen?

Oppa. Thats not what Im talking about. Are you blind or are you pretending?

Where did I start raising her wrong

Oppa, oppa. Thats the trend these days.

What? No, I dont want to know.

Come on, just listen for a bit.

Fine, what is it?

Youre so clueless (you could say that shes flirting with him, Ill explain it better on the notes!)

I really dont know where I started raising you wrong. Ive had enough of this.

Youre leaving already? AhhhhOppa, next time, please make sure to boil ramen, not that ramen, but the ramen we used to eat when we were kids.

Leave some space in the Blue House kitchen. Ill chop the vegetables into small pieces for you.

Without realizing it, the shy child had become a woman who liked someone.

He was looking forward to receiving the carnations, but when he realized her true intentions, he was embarrassed enough to lose his poker face.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

But he still misses her, that little girl.

Dont call me a kid!

He saw her protesting with her arms waving.

What are you thinking?

I want to go home.

Hey, Mukminji, dont stick your face in my memories.

Eunha replied in a blunt voice.

You havent even had lunch yet. Youre doing this because you miss your mom, right? Youre a mommys boy.

My mom is prettier than your mom.

My mom is pretty, too.

By the way, my sister is prettier.

I know!

They were having a verbal feast, and the unexpected reward was that Minji also thought her mother and sister were beautiful.

Its a rumor in the neighborhood, so theres no way the girl next door doesnt know.

As for the father.

I look like my father, yeah.

Ah, dust in the eyes.

Anyway, they keep throwing things at you, are you going to ignore them?

Ugh.

The stack of papers had been hitting me in the back of the head for a while now. Id managed to ignore them, but now they were flying at me without even trying.

I know who was doing it.

It was Eunhyuks group, who were folding carnations at the back table. They were playing with the paper they had been given to fold the carnations.

He hadnt approached him since hed gotten his ass handed to him the other day, so it was like the medicine had worn off.

Why are you ignoring him?

Hes just being stupid.

Coward, coward.

As if they thought I was scared, they were now giggling and mocking him.

These guys havent gotten over themselves yet.

Nevermind.

Eunha told Minji, then picked up a few papers from the floor.

I told you. Ill pay back twice as much as I got.

Just a little rummaging.

I didnt even have to turn around and aim.

Mana detection was great.

While Eunhyeok was folding the carnation, I threw a ball of paper into his mouth without turning around.

Ah!

Itll hurt a bit when I use mana.

The shouting didnt end there, as Yeon Seongjin, who was next to him, also caught a stack of papers in his mouth, just like Eunhyeok.

This!

Thank you. Ill look forward to next year.

No, well, you can take it to.

Theyre prettier than real carnations. Thank you, Euna.

Hehe! Thank you, mom, for raising me!

Hoo-hoo, its so nice to receive carnations from children.

Even if its only a paper carnation

Eunha felt unnecessarily humbled and a little embarrassed.

His mother rubbed his cheeks, thinking he was cute, a reaction she didnt usually show.

Im the one who should be grateful.

You dont know how grateful I am that youre here for me right now.

There was another carnation next to the one hed made. Euna must have made it at school today.

Euna, youre not very goot at it.

Next time, instead of just teaching her mana, I should teach her origami.

Here, Eunha, heres yours.

For some reason, Euna offers Eunha a carnation.

Eunha, who has long since given up trying to figure out what Euna is thinking, says thank you and accepts the carnation.

Its her sisters, so he should keep it.

But Eunha, there are three carnations, what about this one? Did you make it for Euna too?

She looked at me expectantly.

Im sorry, though, sister.

Its for my grandmother.

Maternal grandmother?

His father was an only child, so he had only ever known his maternal grandmother.

I see. Eunha likes her grandmother.

His mother didnt question the fact that he was giving carnations to a grandmother hed only met as a baby. Instead, she smiled and patted him on the head.

Lets take them to Grandma next time.

Yeah.

Maybe not this year, but next year.

Eunha nodded.

Daddys home!

Daddy~! I made carnations at school today!

Dad got home from work a little late.

Euna quickly ran to the front door and showed her father the carnations she had made.

Is this for me? For me! Euna! Youre so cute today!

Hehe.

What a dad. Whats so great about carnations made of paper?

Here, give it to dad, Eunha.

Mother pushed me gently on the back.

No longer embarrassed, Eunha looked back at her mother.

Huh? Cant you give it to dad, Mom?

Dad will like it if Eunha gives it to him.

Uh

As if being pushed by her mother, Eunha approached her father.

He was looking at him expectantly.

Ew, youre glaring! Dont look at me like that!

Since its like this, I should just give it to him and be done with it.

Dad, here.

Did you make this Eunha? You did a better job than your sister.

Dad.

Sister complains in a low voice.

Haha, sorry, sorry.

Dad was smiling cheerfully.

I made it in kindergarten.

In his entire pre-regression life, he had never handed someone a carnation.

So he didnt know what face to make. He was embarrassed.
