Ara was enjoying her spring air which almost ended under the cherry trees, her stomach began to be hungry because since then cycling although actually her shooting activities more than sports. He suddenly imagined a warm seolleongtang (cow bone soup) steaming with rice that was also warm and spontaneously he said it to Jae Hwan making the man who was looking at him shake his head.
He calls an ahjumma who works at his house and asks the woman to make Ara request to make the girl in front of him smile and unconsciously clap her hands slowly.
"happy?"
"momure!"
"huhhh.."
the man snorted to see his expression was happier when talking about food.
"ahh saw the cherry blossoms, so I wanted to taste the hwajeon (fried flowers)."
*hwajeon is a small pancake topped with fresh flower petals
"Yes! Ssi keumanhae."
Jae Hwan grimaced listening to the girl keep raving about food.
Two hours later, they were already sitting at a large dining table with a capacity of 8 people, which for Ara looks strange because Jae Hwan lives alone. Ara's stomach has protested because two hours is not a moment for her should they go to the restaurant alone rather than have to wait that long.
"we bet. You won't protest again when you try ahjumma-made soup!"
Jae Hwan seems to be starting to get stressed because the girl just keeps on babbling
The middle-aged woman they were talking about appeared he was carrying a huge steaming hotpot, which was, put it on the table and then come back again and bring some kimchi side dishes that look foreign to Ara but still tempting for her to taste.
He smiled at the middle-aged woman, as if to thank her for preparing a lot of food for her. The woman returned Ara's smile warmly making her feel like she was in a familiar environment.
He poured soup for Ara, offered some side dishes to make it easier for the girl to reach, then gestured for the girl to taste it and Ara was obviously happy.
"Yaaa, you're too nice to her!"
this time Jae Hwan is protesting, he hosts here and his Ahjumma is instead serving others.
Ara scoffed by sticking out her tongue in response to Jae Hwan's annoyed gaze, he took a spoon beside his bowl then took a large mouthful of soup containing meat along with a thick broth. Blow it for a while and can't wait to put it in your mouth.
"Daebakkk!"
Ara's answer successfully made Ahjumma smile with her behavior
"i'm glad you like it."
"it's amazing, I can't even stop opening my mouth."
Clearly Ara when the big mouth was gone from her mouth
"you have to try it, ahjumma is great when it comes to cooking."
"ne, ne, ne Ara ssi. Thank you for offering me. eung!"
Jae Hwan looks upset because Ara acts like he is the host but his hand scoops the soup in front of him greedily making Ara smile at the man.
Jae Hwan brought a glass of warm tea to Ara who was sitting on the sofa. The girl looked out at the big glass there again, it seemed like it would be her favorite spot. Jae Hwan smiled.
"i realize how rich you are from here. The most pleasant place in the country you can see easily!"
"out of my family."
Jae Hwan used to correct the girl's words.
"I want to enjoy my relaxing day, because the day after tomorrow I've started working."
Say ara casually who then drinks back her warm tea
"mwos?"
Jae Hwan looked surprised.
...****************...
I love coffee and lattes. That's why his part-time job started at a cafe. Although the beginning of the lecture period was very busy, Ara sure could divide her time. He had long imagined the fun of work and college. And the girl was too active to just sit around and spend her time. But what is this, the man who crowned himself as Ara's girlfriend forbade the girl from doing the thing she wanted. The man suddenly became more and more annoying, and had the right to participate in the determination.
Ara went home to her apartment after arguing with the man, throwing arguments at each other. Ara actually understands Jae Hwan's reason that Ara will be very tired, and it is difficult to manage his college, it is also difficult to meet him for sure. But not Ara if he is not stubborn, if he believes something is right then he will continue to maintain his opinion even though sometimes troublesome yourself.
So did Jae Hwan he sucked his breath annoyed when the girl left from there, slamming his own body on the sofa they used to occupy sharing a simple story that Jae Hwan really liked. But today it is a witness where he and the girl can also fight.
Jae Hwan couldn't stand it, strange that his ego could be defeated by fearing that the girl would stay away, the man did not want to rush by saying that this was love because all his life only this time he was so protective of something. He thought about it once more, but still his legs were not controlled by immediately walking towards the elevator and all clearly knew where to go.
"What else ?"
ara's welcome on her apartment doorstep is definitely annoying but Jae Hwan cares more that he needs to talk to the girl. Jae Hwan barges in, letting Ara gawk at the door and loses his words because he can't curse anymore.
"mianhae Ara - yes,"
"I've gone too far, I just don't want you to trouble yourself."
Jae Hwan said it softly as if he was compromising with the girl's emotions, and was successful. Ara's gaze softened, her brain was already not boiling so it could receive the answer of the man before her.
"I clearly understand your purpose, sorry that I was so stubborn, I also scolded you earlier."
Ara hesitated a little in front of a stranger, but this man showed such sincerity that he did not think too much about his prestige to apologize.
"and luckily this time you didn't take the oath."
Jae Hwan melts the atmosphere and makes the girl smile, reminding them how often Ara swears like that is the only vocabulary in Korean that he can.
Ara approached after leaving the door closed and the headlights automatically went out, allowing Jae Hwan to sit with his hand gesture on a brown corner sofa, there is a lamp with a matching colored hood that gives the impression of vintage because the lights are dim, and, Ara seemed to forget to turn it off or maybe it was allowed to continue to live next to him a window glass that covered two sides without a bulkhead so that the corner was a glass that faced directly to the street in front, the scenery is not the same as what Jae Hwan has but this is just as fun as there is the girl. Who are no longer angry. Sure oes.
"I have to go to college."
Ara said after separating the clothes she was going to wear on her tiny bed.
"All right, I'll drive you."
"you? going to college?"
Ara asked with a frown that Jae Hwan nods back.
"You don't like it?"
"no, but I didn't know you went to college dressed like that."
Ara looked at Jae Hwan from top to bottom with a small laugh because the man was still wearing long training pants and a thin white shirt and sleeper who seemed to forget he changed.
Jae Hwan's face flushed red as if stripped naked by the girl's gaze, who carelessly left Jae Hwan and with her laughter entered the bathroom.
"Wait here, I'll pick you up in an hour."
The man shouted hoping that Ara would hear him, then ran small towards the exit while cursing. For some reason in front of the girl Jae Hwan always looks stupid.
