Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

23 – Yuna Han

Not long after, the steak comes out, and the slashes left on the outside of the meat strangely whet the appetite, as if to prove that it was freshly grilled. Pulled. Just looking at it makes me wonder if this is what it means to be delicious.

“Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

“Yes, I will eat well.”

After holding a knife in her right hand and a fork in her left hand, she tried to start a full-fledged meal according to her aunt’s recommendation, but ran into difficulties from the first gate.

This is harder to cut than I thought.

Since I don’t usually eat steak or other menu items, it’s funny to see myself struggling to cut a steak with an awkward knife. Not some kind of country boy.

“What are you doing?”

“… No, it didn’t cut as well as I thought.”

That was the same as Hanyu I thought. The guy who put a piece of chopped steak in her mouth and put on a happy expression looked at me and asked with her cold face. It must be absurd to be so old and not able to cook a steak properly.

To be honest, it was an unexpected situation for me as well. Even if you rarely use a fork and knife on a daily basis, is it that you can’t cut a single piece of meat properly because you’re in your third year of high school?

“Didn’t I ask for it to be cut in advance?”

“Oh, no. It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

As if the lady hadn’t even thought of this situation, she looked visibly embarrassed when she saw me.

Wow, her real face is all hot. After a long time, I came to cut meat on the day after the exam, what kind of shame play is this. Even Han Yu-jin, who is a year younger than me, is skilled at cutting knives like that.

“You idiot, the hand holding the knife is why it won’t get cut.”

“Uh…. Hand?”

Wanting to get out of this situation as soon as possible, she was about to stab her half-raged piece of meat again, but Han Yuna pointed to her right hand holding her knife and expressed frustration.

Hands? What about your hands? Are you holding it properly?

“No, that’s not it, hold it like this…. Ugh, just give it up.”

Hanyu tried to teach me how to hold the knife properly. I ended up taking her whole plate of my steak. I had no choice but to watch the steak being sliced by Han Yuna’s hands, having been taken away while I was trying to resist.

“Look closely, her hands like this….”

“Oh… !”

That’s how you catch it. Come to think of it, she seems to have been taught by her mother when she went to eat steak before. It was so long ago that I just don’t remember.

As Hanyu Na proceeded to cut her knife gracefully in the standard way, my hands cut off the disheveled chunks of her meat in an appetizing way.

Admiration flowed out of my mouth at the scarlet flesh that I had witnessed for the first time. Yes, steak is just that visual.

“Now that I know the method, I can do it myself.”

“Okay, I’m just trying to ruin an expensive steak. I helped you with the test, so I’ll do it for you today.”

“Oh, thank you.”

After all, it is said that if you show good intentions, you will be rewarded, and watching the scattered seeds being harvested like this fills me with pride.

Steak sliced by Han Yuna, not anyone else, is a reward that is one level higher than the coke she poured herself a while ago. Thanks to that, I can enjoy the taste of steak twice as much.

“Doing so reminds me of the past, kid.”

Hanyu smiles proudly at the sight of the cut steak.

“What old thoughts?”

“Once upon a time when I was dating your dad, we went to a steak house together, and it was just like that then.”

As if reminiscing about her old days, her aunt’s smile, which was somewhat mournful, opened her eyes wide at the words of her aunt.

Since you seem to be quite intelligent now, it must have felt strange that she couldn’t even sharpen a knife properly.

“Are you saying your dad couldn’t sharpen a knife like Park Si-yoon?

“Yeah, I guess I haven’t been to many shops like that since I used to live in the countryside. So she, like you now, had her mother cut her meat instead.”

I never thought there would be such a behind story. Interesting.

She felt it when she heard stories from her parents about their dating days, but the dating stories of ordinary couples told by people who have already married are quite funny, even if they are not a big deal.

Talking about dating friends of the same age at school or having a fling with someone has its own flavor, but personally, I prefer this one. It feels like reading the small background and side story of a completed novel.

As she was listening to the young love story of the aunt and the uncle, Han Yu-jin, who was sitting across from her, was looking at her older sister with a sly gaze. She is the face of a middle-aged man who is likely to commit s*xual harassment right away.

“Ool, then her sister and brother will also run until marriage later?”

“What, what nonsense. Why am I with someone like Park Si-yoon… !”

She glances at me once and then turns her head away as if she doesn’t want to even imagine it.

No, if anyone sees it, they’ll know I’m good. I hate this lady too. And it’s obvious that she’s trying to make fun of anyone, so why is she alone? If you just keep your mouth shut and don’t respond, it’s obvious that you’ll get attention because you’re insignificant.

“Yes, it’s too much of a waste for Siyoon to have a relationship with an old lady like your sister.”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Mom! You must take my side there!”

In the meantime, the lady gave a similar opinion to Han Yuna, but asserted that she had no choice but to go in a completely different direction. With the addition of Han Yu-jin, who is arguing with her, I feel sorry for Han Yu-na. It looks good.

Before I knew it, I put the chopped steak in my mouth and watched as Han Yuna was hit and run, before joining the battle.

“Please take good care of me, wife. Even after you get married, cut some meat.”

“Chi, be quiet too!”

Ah, that’s interesting. After all, teasing Hanyu is the most fun in the world. Look at this reaction, how can this not be funny. For this kind of fun, you can play the role of Hanyu or her husband for a while, giggling.

“Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t ask for the test results. How was everyone? Do you think it looked okay?”

Leaving me with her mind in rags like a chunk of her meat I was slicing, her aunt asked about our test results at her own pace.

Although the aunt is not the type to obsess over her grades, as a parent, it is natural for her to be curious about her daughter’s test results. It’s like an annual event every time.

“I think I will exceed the 50% I promised my mother.”

“I also climbed a little higher this time. They say if they do well, they might break through 30 percent.”

This time, as if both were satisfied with the test results, Han Yu-na and Han Yu-jin proudly boasted their grades with bright smiles. A smile formed on her mother’s lips when she heard this.

“What about Siyoon? She must have had a hard time helping Yuna study this time, but did the results come out well?”

“… Sure. I’m always certain.”

I was the only one among them who wasn’t talking about her, so she asked me in a cautious tone, and I responded with a confident smile, raising her thumb.

Soon after, the lady started to eat again with a relieved look on her face, and Yujin Han showed her envy towards me and even asked what the secret was.

“… ….”

In the meantime, she felt like Hanyuna, who was sitting next to her, was staring at me, but she thought it was because of her mood.

God of mukbang Hanyu I must be focusing on steak by now, so why is she looking at this side? I guess it’s because my feet are numb for no reason.

***

After the meal, we went our separate ways.

To be precise, Auntie and Han Yu-jin went straight home, and Han Yuna had to go to the company because she had practice afterwards, so I decided to take her and go home.

Anyway, I thought that the extra time is what I have today, and it wouldn’t be bad to go for a walk while digesting something.

“Doesn’t your stomach hurt if you run right after eating?”

“I’m going to rest and practice anyway, so what? I just go in advance because I don’t want to go back after going home.”

“Really? I thought I was panting again and then regurgitating the steak.”

While waiting for the traffic lights to change, we made small talk.

Hanyu I cried at the thought that now that her examination period was over, she would start practicing hard again, and I cried at the thought of being late again for a school class I had been finishing early for several days.

Looking at it, both of them didn’t do anything except grumble.

“Oh, and you didn’t forget to go to my grandma’s house, did you?”

“How did you forget that? It’s the next owner.”

“… Heh, I hope I didn’t forget.”

Wanting to see what my memory is, let me say something. Han Yuna pouting her lips avoiding her gaze. It looks like he has something to say, am I mistaken?

“Hey, Park Si-yoon.”

“Why again?”

While I was waiting for the last traffic light, thinking that it would be the end if I just crossed the next crosswalk, Han Yuna suddenly poked my waist with her finger. Shouldn’t it be called by name or stabbed, or just one of the two?

“Be honest, did you screw up this exam?”

“… What?”

She frowned and tried to complain, but Hanyuna’s blow made her unconscious for a moment, so unfortunately it didn’t work out. Anyway, what did he say now?

With her eyes wide open, one of her hair is different from mine. When I looked down at me, I saw her cat-like eyes staring straight at me.

“It’s strange because I’ve been thinking about it since before. You don’t know when I ask, but when my mom asks, she always tells me the score in detail. What was difficult, what was easy, and even explained.”

“… ….”

“But today, it seems like it’s slipping by, doesn’t it? I didn’t think much of it at first, but looking back, I think I took more of your classes this year than last year.”

Han Yu-na narrows down her death by pointing out the facts of her every detail. In the meantime, a drop of cold sweat passed by my back, and a feeling of desolation came over me.

Seriously, this is why childhood friends. She knows every nook and cranny, so even the slightest oddity is quickly exposed. Just as I know Hanyu well about me, she knows about me inside and out.

If I look at the abyss, the abyss also looks at me, or something like that. I can’t remember who said it, but I think it’s a very appropriate maxim.

“I didn’t really mess it up. Although it was a little lower than during the midterm exam in the second semester.”

She felt that it had been delayed for a long time, so she had no choice but to tell the truth. Han Yuna’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

“How much?”

“It’s not enough for you to worry about, so don’t worry about it.”

“I decide whether or not to worry? Please answer me.”

“… ….”

Knowing that talking in front of Han Yuna like this won’t work, I honestly told her the results of the provisional scoring.

It’s not a very bad result, but it’s definitely lower than the midterm exam in the second semester. Upon hearing this, a deep sigh flowed from Han Yuna’s mouth.

“Assholes, taking care of others while not being able to take care of themselves. I’m just going to make people feel sorry…. If you want to hide it, hide it properly.”

Words that seemed to bruise me continued, but I didn’t say anything because I knew it was because I was sorry.

It’s not specifically Hanyuna’s fault. It’s just that this test was a bit tough. There were some concepts that needed to be newly established as I entered the 3rd year, but there were a lot of things I was immature about.

But even if I say this, they won’t listen. Only my mouth hurts.

Took.

While I was thinking about how to get over this situation, Han Yuna’s head came straight to me and hit my chest. I looked around for nothing at the strange behavior that would only happen between lovers.

Does she realize that she is an idol trainee?

“… Thank you. I won’t even hear you say you’re sorry anyway, so I’d rather say it like this.”

“Uh, uh…. It’s good to express thanks, but can’t we just fall off a bit… ?”

Setting aside the gaze of the people around me, I was embarrassed to be standing in such an awkward two-shot with Han Yuna, so I tried to push him away, but I was unmoved.

Far from being pushed away, rather, a devil-like smile formed on his lips as he raised his head to hold my waist with both arms and met my eyes.

“Why? Shouldn’t we be thankful that the next idol even gives us skinship like this?”

“No, putting aside the strong skinship, why are you doing it on the main street….”

I tried to tell him to do it when it was just the two of us, but he kept his mouth shut. Because somehow it sounded more meaningful.

On the other hand, Hanyu I must have thought that I was embarrassed when I stopped talking to her. She raised the corners of her mouth, which had already been raised, until they reached her ears, and vigorously shook her body from side to side while holding my waist. Hit

“Oh Goo Goo, is our Siyoon shy? Do you get tired because your sister hugs you?”

“Ah, this sure….”

I wanted to trip over my legs, but I couldn’t bear it because it was obvious that if I tripped like this, I would fall in love with myself and create an even more strange two-shot.

Anyway, did this kid really have a grateful heart? If you really appreciate it, you could even say that you would shoot yourself. It sounds very much like it.

“I will repay you properly later, so wait. Did you see me, Han Yu-na, a regular woman, say two words with one mouth?”

In the meantime, how did I hear what I said inside, the guy who escaped from my arms and boasted with a confident smile.

Scary, scary. As expected, Han Yu-na, a gifted woman.
