chapter 28
28 – Rural Trip (2)
Han Yuna’s parents said they were talking to an old woman they hadn’t seen in a while, so the three of us packed our things and headed to the river. There were also quite strange items mixed in the preparations.
“Brother, what is this?”
Looking at the net-like object in my hand, Yujin Han tilted her head. Even though I am a city person, I asked back in a puzzled tone as it was a bit strange that I still did not know the identity of this object.
“It’s called a trap, haven’t you seen it?”
“Yes, is it your first time seeing unnie?”
“Do you think so? I hadn’t seen it when I was at her grandmother’s house last summer.”
It’s amazing, even if it’s the first time I’ve seen it in person, I’m sure you’ve heard the name.
“If you put this between rocks or stones, the fish will be caught on its own. I also learned it when I went to see my uncle in Gangwon-do.”
“Caught on your own? Even if you don’t do anything?”
“Well, just take a look. Seeing is faster than explaining a hundred times.”
Shrugging my shoulders, I went down the stairs and arrived in front of the stream, when I heard the sound of the cool water that would blow away even the scorching heat in summer.
Big, this is this. Because of this sensibility, I like mountains more than the sea in summer.
“Anyway, the current is quite strong?”
As we moved along the stone road to the water’s edge, we realized that the water flow, which seemed reasonable from a distance, was not very weak.
It’s not difficult to play in the water or to the point of worrying about an accident, but should I say it’s not to the point of being vigilant either? Especially since the water is not very shallow.
“Yeah, so when I was little, I came with her mom and dad. They said there could be an accident, so we didn’t let each other go.”
“Well, this is dangerous for young children to play with.”
I agree with Han Yujin’s words and submerge my legs. The places close to the shore are deep enough that I can’t reach my knees, but it must be deeper because I can’t see the bottom well over there.
Kabi, I can’t do anything stupid with this. When each came out, I tried to leave Hanyuna out and play. But that’s not the only fun, so I promise the next time….
Chop.
… Ah.
While I was careless for a moment, I was awakened by the sudden rain of water. When I turned my head, I saw Han Yu-na and Han Yu-jin, who had not even dipped their feet in the water yet, and were clearly laughing at me.
Seeing as they squatted side by side and put their hands together above the water, it seems that it is a sufficient matter to be booked as an on-the-spot arrest.
Anyway, fearing that they might be dangerous, I measured the depth of the water at most, and these pairs repay the favor with enmity.
“Did you get ahead of yourself?”
“Hey, who cares?”
“Right, brother. It’s my fault for coming to the stream and being careless.”
In case someone is not a sister, a smile resembling taiyaki doubles the heat.
Yeah, it’s a war you guys started. Don’t resent me
Tak.
After throwing the trap ashore for a while to prevent it from being washed away in the water, I put my hands together and lowered it down to the waist, posing like a swordsman character in a cartoon. The spleen expression that seemed to slash the enemy at any moment was a bonus.
“Ugh, cringe.”
“Brother, that’s a bit….”
Sister Han made an expression of disgust in the scene where the scent of the 2nd grade bottle was oozing out, but there are times when you have to endure the gaze of the people around you silently for the sake of the future.
“Search!”
Gathering all the strength in my arms, I cut through the water with my hands as if wielding a sword, and cast a special move I learned from my uncle.
Chew!
The water in my flat hand, which is as wide as two people’s hands together, took the shape of a boomerang and covered the air.
Han Yu-na and Han Yu-jin, who had been watching it blankly, remained the same.
Slap.
“Kyaaah!?”
“It’s cold, you fool!”
Being hit properly by the water, I instantly became like a drowning mouse.
Seeing these guys screaming and running around in all directions makes me feel refreshed. It feels like the two airs of rice I just ate are being digested right away.
“So, who told you to take the lead? It’s all karma, karma.”
“Chi, we sprayed a little bit of water… !”
“My brother is secretly narrow-minded too. Two pretty high school girls like this are playing around, can’t you accept that?”
“Yeah, I’m so narrow inside. Never accept it.”
And the pretty high school girl only talks about it in front of the kids who see you as a girl. That doesn’t apply to me.
“Han Yu-jin, let’s start with Park Si-yoon first.”
“I’m going to do that anyway.”
Perhaps it was because she was literally watered, Han Yu-jin held out her hand to Han Yu-jin, burning the flames of anger even after being covered with cold water. And Han Yu-jin, who wants to put it together at this time.
Wow, there are no real bullies. First of all, I was going to take a look at it, so I responded from this side, but now they form an alliance right in front of my eyes? It turns out now that I didn’t need someone to play with, I needed a game.
Plop.
“Oh.”
As if they didn’t even care about getting wet anymore, the two guys who were completely soaked in the water slowly approached me. A voice of exclamation or sigh escaped from my mouth at the fierce fighting felt in my body.
Damn it, I came here with a full stomach, and I seem to have digested it all in less than ten minutes.
***
At the end of the 2nd killing spree that lasted for a long time, only futility remained, where even the winner and the loser could not be separated.
Exhausted from swinging our arms hard, the three of us lay side by side on the shore. Fortunately, the long-branched bush next to it provided shade, so there was no snowball fight with the sunlight.
Oh, I’m going to die.
“Lord, I think I will die.”
“Me too.”
“If you guys do that much, I’ll be amazed.”
I said a word to the guys who were lying on their chairs and breathing heavily.
At least the other side got better because the two of them joined forces, but the other side was really dying from swinging his arm to the bone by himself. Later, like in an FPS game, even holding the embossing and blowing water streams from the left and right, I didn’t even have time to open my eyes.
Wow, if you know Hanyu, did you have talent in this field? When I go back home, I will not teach AOS games, but I will teach FPS games. Maybe I was unaware of the rare genius who would become an active idol and a pro gamer.
“Come to think of it, Park Si-yoon, what was that earlier?”
Han Yuna, who was drying her wet body and clothes like a squid on a drying rack, asked without turning her head this way.
“That’s it…. Oh, trap?”
“Yes, are you going to leave that out?”
“I have to try it, I brought it for that purpose.”
Originally, she was going to play with the trap by setting it up in a suitable place, but she forgot about it while fighting over the water. After all, they’re useless guys.
I walked towards the trap I had thrown earlier, carrying my body, which had become heavier because of the clothes that were drenched and saggy. There’s a gap nearby that looks perfect, so I’ll just install it over there.
“Brother, what is inside?”
“Bait. I asked her grandmother to bring me some.”
“Bait? Isn’t that soybean paste?”
Looking at the contents of the container I took out, Han Yuna expressed her doubts. As the guy said, this is soybean paste. To be precise, it’s a mixture of soybean paste and mashed rice.
“I learned it from my uncle before, and I was able to catch it very well.”
“It’s amazing. What is the principle?”
“I’m not a fisherman, do you know the principle? Just do what you learn.”
A bait substitute for rice cakes was installed inside the trap, inserted between heavy stones to prevent it from drifting away, and then a stone of appropriate weight was placed on it to fix it.
It’s a bit smaller than the trap I remember, but this stream itself isn’t very large, so this should be enough. You can spend the rest of the time leisurely and check the inside when you return.
Since the water is not very shallow, I think you can expect a few minnows.
Jjiik.
After finishing setting up the trap, I came back to shore and squeezed the wet T-shirt like a rag. A lot of water spilled onto the floor, but even so, the discomfort of the T-shirt clinging to the body like leeches did not go away.
On the other hand, Han Yu-na and Han Yu-jin got along well and wore rash guard tops that were likely to be worn at sea, so at a glance, their movements seemed comfortable, which made me feel unfair.
After thinking about it for a while, I pulled up my T-shirt and took it off.
Hey, since it’s only the two of them, it doesn’t matter anyway.
“Hey, hey! It’s crazy!? Why did you take off your clothes in broad daylight! Are you a pervert!?”
“I feel frustrated because my T-shirt is sticking to me. What should I do? Are you turning your head when I twist you?”
Han Yuna raised her voice as she covered her eyes while making a fuss, but this time, she was able to calm down because there was one person who agreed with my opinion.
“Ah, to be honest, unnie shivered too much in this. When we went to the pool or the sea together, did you see oppa get offended once or twice?”
“Oh, as expected, Han Yujin is a great person.”
In the first place, even if it wasn’t a silk pool or the sea, these guys would come in without a shirt at home in the summer. We even ran into each other after taking a shower, so it must be strange to make such a fuss all over again.
“Ool, by the way, oppa has gotten better. Are you exercising these days?”
“Yuna Han has been clamoring to do it since last year, does it show off?”
Shrugging at Han Yujin’s praise, she overdid her pose as if taking a body profile. Although she was honestly a little bit ashamed, she decided to think it was a masochistic gag.
“Yes, absolutely. Take a look at my sister.”
“Look at Park Si-yoon’s body, there’s something to see! Are you crazy too!?”
“… Sister, at least cover your eyes and say it. Can you see everything you see through your fingers?”
“My, when will I!”
Han-Yu, who moved her body as if it was hot, I glanced around her, and when she met my gaze, she hurriedly turned her head away.
Anyway, he didn’t say much until last year, so I don’t know why he’s reacting so sensitively this year. Did you really come to puberty late? That’s a bit risky
Hanyu, who is hysterical on a fictional day, adds to me her puberty? Holly Shek, I really hate to imagine.
