My girlfriend is so good to me - Episode 24

Ep. 24

Peaceful Sunday. Unlike the hustle and bustle with Heena at the end of yesterday, our house was completely peaceful. Due to the nature of his job, my father, who occasionally goes to work even on weekends, looked quite disappointed when he came to work today..

Mom was leisurely doing housework as usual and waiting for Heena to arrive. However, yesterday, when I secretly mentioned an episode like how Heena was very worried about choosing a gift, I felt like I paid more attention to her clothes..

"son"

"huh?"

While the two of us were sitting on the sofa watching TV to wait, Mom called me..

"I have enough money to go to the sea?"

"I have some pocket money saved up, and I received quite a bit of part-time salary last time. It'll probably be okay?"

"I found a place to sleep?"

"no? Is there a need for that already? I haven't even made a schedule yet.."

"Are you saying you’re going as soon as vacation is over? It might be a little late now."

"How many accommodations are there on the beach?..."

My mom snorts at my ridiculous words..

"If you want to let your girlfriend sleep in a place where cockroaches crawl, you can do whatever you want.."

"....really?"

To be honest, other than traveling with adults, I had never stayed anywhere before, so I didn't think much of it, but when he said that, I suddenly became worried. My mom said she would make fun of me, but she wasn't the type to talk nonsense..

No, even though there are a lot of people at the beach in Amman in the summer, reservations are already full.?

"Should I make a reservation now??"

"done. My mom booked me a hotel in Sokcho yesterday, so let’s go there.."

Wow, mother?!

"Is it true, mother??"

"Don't be rude."

"no! How could a child speak so carelessly to his mother?!"

"Before canceling it."

"sorry..."

I say it coolly and go back to focusing on the TV as if nothing happened..

I looked at my mom next to me for a moment with eyes full of respect, then saw my phone ringing and got ready to leave right away..

Heena must have called.

---

I brought Heena with me. at my house.

When her mother came to greet her from the front door, Heena bowed her waist at a 90-degree angle and bowed politely before even taking off her shoes..

"Nice to meet you, mother. My name is Lee Hee-na.."

As Heena smiled softly and said hello, her mother watched without budging as if her feet were nailed to her feet..

I usually wear skirts when I go on dates, but today I was wearing black slacks without a single wrinkle and a light beige linen t-shirt, which was obviously nothing special but looked very neat..

Her hair was silky, as if she had taken care of it since morning, and she had very little makeup on her face..

I knew the concept the moment I saw it. Unadorned, yet clean. Kkuanku fashion for the elderly.

However, today's Heena was able to get a strong feeling of being an adult even if she put all that clothing aside..

I usually had an older vibe, but today it seemed completely different. If she didn't know Heena and passed her on the street, she would have thought she was a college student..

Even when he raises his head, his body language and expression are not disturbed and he looks at his mother with a faint smile..

Only then did the mother respond to Heena..

"Welcome. It's been a lot hot lately, but it wasn't difficult to get there.?"

With a bright smile that I've never seen in my life, I even wore a half-baby belt to greet Heena and let her inside..

At that sight, I looked at my mother in bewilderment, wondering what was going on with a question mark in my head..

"Yes, the weather was cool today so it was okay. Mother, can you take this??"

Heena also answers casually and presents the gift she had spent hours thinking about purchasing yesterday..

To be honest, I didn't think there was a need to prepare a gift in the first place, but Heena was trying to choose something, so after thinking about this and that, I bought a diffuser set..

My mom really liked this, my dad was also interested enough to have one in his car, and above all, it was perfect because he could buy it without spending a lot of money..

"Thank you for everything...."

"no. And please speak comfortably.."

"Is that so??"

"Yes, mother."

As the two naturally headed to the living room, I couldn't say a word as they chatted. I just followed Heena like a folding screen..

Even after the two of us sat down on the sofa and chairs, we didn't stop talking, and thanks to that, I was just carrying the drinks and fruit that my mom had prepared in advance..

"Oh my, you really came first?"

"Yes.. I like Yeonhu so much that I stopped..."

"I thought he made it up because he was embarrassed after confessing first..."

"what?! I pretended to believe it, but I was thinking that in my heart.?"

I feel a bit betrayed by this..

But no matter how I reacted, no one paid any attention to me. The two of us exchanged tiki-taka as if we were on our own..

It was my first time seeing my mother greet someone with such a bright smile, and the way Heena treated my mother was so polite that it even felt unfamiliar..

It just feels like two people I don't know are having a conversation in front of me..

For a while, I was summarizing our love story for about a month, starting with the day we first met, dating stories, and how Heena came to visit me every day at my part-time job..

The story progressed slowly and eventually reached the point of a sea trip planned for the first week of summer vacation..

"I heard from Yeonhu earlier that her mother made a hotel reservation..."

"It's because I'm worried about Yeonhu, so don't worry too much about it.."

"Thank you, mother. I will have a good time with Yeonhu.."

I thought Heena might decline at least once, but surprisingly, she bowed her head slightly and said thank you without saying anything else..

Mom looks surprised again at that sight..

"Really... how can you be so polite??"

"no~"

"Nope. I was worried when they said the two of us would go together, but looking at you, I don't think there's any need for me.."

"I'm glad you think so. Oh, can I use the bathroom for a moment??"

"Yes, it's next to the door over there, so you can use it comfortably.."

Heena took advantage of the momentary break while going to the bathroom and, like a traitor, moved to sit next to her mother and sat close to her..

"Mom, how are you??"

"It's later."

"huh?"

But before I can answer my question, my mother, with a stern face, calls me by my first name and continues speaking in a pretensely serious tone..

"Is he a high school student??"

"Hmm...I thought so, but looking at it today, it seems like that's not the case....."

It's not entirely surprising that my mother would ask such a question, and it's hard to believe that today's Heena is actually the same age as me. I could even feel her age in the way she talked to her mother..

When the two of us played together, it felt like we were of a similar age, although a little more mature, but today we didn't even see that side of us..

Actually, I guess I kneeled for about 4 years.?

"The kid is smart and polite. Why my son..."

"I understand, but it's a bit too much to do that in front of me.?"

"son."

"ok?"

"Hold on tight. If I live with him, I won't have to worry about my son for the rest of my life.."

"I'll try my best..."

I have to try hard to keep Heena from falling for me..

I'm not a fool either, so I know that I wouldn't be able to find a girlfriend like Hee-na even if I searched the whole world..

After a while, Heena came back, and the three of us were finally able to have a conversation, including me..

However, I couldn't tell too personal stories in front of my mother, so I mainly talked about daily life, such as school life..

"Thanks to this, Yeonhu’s math scores also improved a lot.?"

"Yeonhoo worked hard to get there.."

"I thought you two were going on a date when you said you were studying.."

"We even went on a date..."

Anyway, I was glad that my mom really liked it. Well, she couldn't help but like her.

Pretty, good at studying, kind, polite.

Absolutely perfection.

I was once again feeling happy about this new fact, but suddenly an unsettling conversation began..

"But your parents know that you two are going to the sea.?"

"yes. In fact, my mother said she was looking for a room for her too.."

"okay? .....one?"

"yes, one."

"Hmm.."

"Wait, this is my first time hearing this? Just taking one room?"

I was so shocked by the unexpected words that I shouted, but Heena's face didn't even shake at all..

In response to the conflicting reactions, my mother narrowed her eyes and looked at us in turn, then quickly fixed her gaze on Heena and opened her mouth again..

"I took two single rooms... should I change it??"

"2It would be less burdensome for my mother to get a private room, so if it is possible to change, can I ask for it??"

"It might still be possible.."

"Of course, your mother won't have anything to worry about. We are still students."

"I'm not worried about anything, but... this isn't something my son should say.?"

"That's right......."

I couldn't keep up with the rapid developments..

When I heard that my mother had reserved a room for me, I thought it would be two single rooms, but I was shocked to learn that Heena's mother only wanted to reserve one room..

Do you believe me, or do you think it doesn’t matter if something bad happens?.

Moreover, Heena seemed amazing as she casually said such a thing..

My face gets hot just listening to it..

Err, I don’t know. There will only be one room but two beds, so you can think of it as a school trip..

However, the two people in front of me slowly finished their story without any consideration for me, who was starting to rationalize internally..

"Then, let's change rooms. Now what are you going to do today??"

"If it's not rude, is it okay if I go see your father??"

"It's going to be difficult because it's coming later today.."

"okay.."

It's not like he's glad that the burdensome situation has been alleviated, but he looks like he's sincerely sad that he won't be able to see his dad..

"Then, I'll go out for a while, so we can play together and then go.."

"Eh? where to go?"

"to see my aunt."

Oh, I guess I'm going to see it again because of the room change. My younger aunt lives nearby. I think I heard that your uncle has some connections at the reception of that hotel..

"Heena also rested comfortably and left.."

"Yes, mother."

With those words, my mother stood up. And seeing as she immediately put on her clothes and left, I'm guessing she must have come back after retelling the story of how she met her aunt Rang Hee-na..

We looked at the album in my room for a bit, and made the exchange we talked about last time..

We exchanged photos from when we were in middle school. I internally cheered at the lucrative deal and immediately put it in my wallet. I should watch it whenever I think of it.

After that, we spent about an hour looking at my room and album, and then we left the house..

I don't know when my brother will come back, so why not just stay at home? Heena seemed to want to see my brother's face at least once, but I didn't want to do that..

Since there is a high probability that Yunjeong will bring his older sister, should I say that I don't want them to run into each other just yet?.

It’s a bit awkward to introduce your girlfriend to your brother..

Today, rather than wandering around, I went into a cafe and made a rough itinerary. I was embarrassed to call it a grand itinerary for a one-night stay..

Still, for me, it was my first time going on a trip with someone my age and having that person as my girlfriend..

I couldn't hide my pounding heart in many ways..

The same was true for Heena, as we spoke with a flushed face..

Final exams are over and vacation is just around the corner..

Our first trip was about to begin..
