“Are you really stupid? No, you’re stupid. A fool among fools.”
Midsummer’s shrill voice echoed through the caravan.
“No, I… … .”
“I? how have you been More than that, ‘I’m pissed off.’ What do you do when you talk like that in front of someone who makes a lot of money, you idiot!”
As if frightened by the loud voice, the dishes on the shelf tremble. As I looked at him with a squint, I slowly opened my mouth.
“I did it because I was afraid that if I didn’t say it properly, it would lead to another misunderstanding.”
Midsummer, with a frown on his forehead, spreads his arms wide.
“There is such a thing as mood and atmosphere, there is such thing as atmosphere. Like a little while ago, I didn’t prepare anything, and like a robot, I’m sorry, let’s talk. If you say yes, I understand. talk Who would say, huh?”
“… … Hmmm.”
I bowed my head.
Even in the beginning, I thought that there was something unfair, so I actively tried to refute it, but it was all refuted and at some point I got down on my knees and listened to his instructions.
“Just like the crazy woman who threw stones last time, please don’t rush. Rather, it is only aggravating the other person’s anger.”
“… … sorry.”
In the meantime, I think I’ve grown misunderstandings by looking at the other person’s face, so this time I tried to express the thoughts in my head without adding or subtracting.
I should have spoken out a little more naturally. From that point on, it’s like being completely arguing.
“No, what are you doing?”
“I am reflecting… … .”
Midsummer grabs my hand, who was on her knees and deeply reflecting on her immaturity.
Of course, in terms of muscle strength, there was no way he could stand me up, so I had a strange posture with only my arms raised.
“Oh really. Hurry up because it’s not fun before I kill you.”
“okay.”
With those words, when I jumped up, Midsummer, who had been whining while holding my hand, made a squeaky sound and fell backwards.
“hey!”
Yes, I had no intention of sitting down from the beginning. If you make a mistake, you can improve it, and if you fall, get up again.
I woke up midsummer, stroking my ass and staring at this side with an irritated face, and took out the ingredients from the plastic bag.
“… … So, would you like to entice them with cooking? What are you going to do?”
“Tofu sushi. Put the rest of the ingredients in the refrigerator.”
“Isn’t it better to grill something like meat than that? I don’t think I’ll even say goodbye.”
“It was what Ga-ryun liked. It was a spectacle if I made it into chestnuts when I was in the wild, and I turned around and ran away.”
Midsummer, who heard my words, took a deep breath and put down the pork belly.
“First, let’s stop eating.”
I took the rice from the plastic bottle and put it in the rice cooker inside the kitchen.
I could have used instant rice, but what I am creating now is not just food, but our memories. Even to convey the truth, I couldn’t make it roughly.
“Please heat only one side dish.”
“yes.”
Instant rice is only for practice.
I mixed the prepared vinegar (醋) with the instant rice. Then, add the roasted carrots, mushrooms and sesame seeds and mix once more to make the rice for tofu sushi.
“Can I do this?”
“Slightly smaller. If it’s too big, it won’t fit.”
While I was poaching the married couple, in midsummer, I used my hands in plastic gloves to gather rice.
In practice, I plan to do this myself, but it’s for testing now, so I asked him to save time.
“Isn’t it all over?”
“One more left. This is the most important thing.”
Lastly, put mayonnaise, canned tuna and sugar on top of the rice portion and sprinkle mayonnaise once more.
“Eat it.”
“It’s a visual that will make you feel great… … . Anyway, what.”
Midsummer, who had a rather reluctant expression on his face, swallowed the tofu sushi with a ravenous sound.
“… … Is it surprisingly edible?”
“If you want it too greasy, you can reduce the amount of mayonnaise or not sprinkle it on. After all, this is a pitiful dragon.”
“Um, I don’t know about one.”
The number of tofu sushi on the plate is decreasing in an instant.
“there.”
“Um, why, no matter what you want to say, gulp, this.”
Midsummer, with his mouth covered with rice, looks at me with a blank look.
“I’ll have to eat it too.”
“uh?”
Apparently, this greedy guy was going to eat it all up by himself without making any concessions.
“Ah, ah ha ha. Well. what is it. eat it too It’s delicious… … .”
Midsummer scratched the bridge of his nose and handed him a plate of tofu sushi. A single tofu sushi was trembling and guarding the center of the plate.
* * *
… … I must have finished practicing, all that was left was cooking, but the campsite was still quiet. I picked up my phone and texted Oh Min-seo.
[When do you think it will come]>
＜[I just left, but my brother said it would take a while because the car was blocked. I’m eating dinner first. Oh, but never go into the dormitory. Because we have to go there together~~~ Okay?]
It’s so natural that I almost didn’t notice it, but it’s communicating as if it’s quite natural. I could vaguely understand why Oh Cheong-myung bit his tongue as he looked at the island.
Midsummer glanced at my phone and opened her mouth.
“Are you still far away?”
“I just left, but the car is blocked.”
“really? Sir, when are you having dinner? I’m slowly getting hungry… … .”
Midsummer caresses her stomach while making a loud noise.
“Even the teacher is like that, but I can’t help but eat one piece of tofu sushi.”
“Are you going to keep doing that?”
After midsummer with my lips pouting, I opened the rice cooker and scooped out the rice.
“what are you doing? You were going to write it later.”
“We just have to make it ourselves. It’s too late to wait.”
“Still, I worked hard to prepare… … .”
“You can make it again next time. There is still a lot of material left.”
The food we have of memories is not just tofu sushi.
The miscellaneous budae-jjigae, which I used to cook on a gas burner when there was something memorable, and the spicy pepper udon, which I ate when my stomach was bloated.
In the remaining time, I plan to cook such dishes one by one. Because I thought that there is nothing better than food as a drawing paper on which I can draw all my longings and desires together.
“I’m eating.”
I removed the tofu sushi from the cutting board and put it on a plate. Midsummer seemed to be puzzled by my appearance, so I stopped eating tofu sushi and started talking.
“What, you don’t eat?”
“I want to go to a place with pity for a moment. He must have been starving.”
“… … What makes a b*tch like that so pretty?”
Midsummer seemed to be muttering something to me, but I couldn’t hear it.
“I’m sorry, what?”
“never mind. I just knew it.”
“okay.”
I came out with a plate of tofu sushi and slowly approached the tent with the entrance closed.
“Poor girl.”
Instead of answering, the sound of a thin breath was heard.
“Garyun-ah, as you can see, other people are late, so I made some simple food in the meantime.”
“… … .”
“Baby, can I come in?”
“I do not like it.”
The voice of a woman, who had fallen like ice, came out through the tent.
“okay. Then I’ll leave it in front of you, so if you want to go out, eat. And I was sorry before. I think I got nervous and didn’t even think about your situation and just talked about me.”
Trying to force a conversation with someone who stubbornly refuses to talk will only backfire.
All I have to do now is just take it easy and wait. I just don’t give up.
The moment I left the plate in front of the tent.
“Because of you?”
A single voice caught my ankle.
“what.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know if you don’t tell me, sweetheart.”
“The fact that Seol-ha unnie refused that confession.”
“You knew.”
As Yu Ga-ryun said, I once again confessed my feelings through a letter a few days ago. was rejected though.
“It must have been because you did something strange. Bringing up unnecessary things like talking about other women.”
“No, I only wrote about the sublingual.”
“There must have been a mistake. You accidentally dropped water on a letter, and the letters smeared and changed their meaning.”
“no.”
I calmly thought about what had happened that day.
“I confessed to him not only in the letter but also face to face, and he was properly rejected.”
In the last paragraph of that reply, there was a one-time email address.
There’s no way we can understand each other even if we say this in writing, so let’s meet in person. An address with the meaning of
We used that email to set up an appointment and finally met at a cafe downtown.
“… … lie.”
A low-pitched moan echoed through the tent.
Anyway, I confessed my heart to Chae Seol-ha again. My unrefined sincerity itself.
And she refused it.

I wondered if that feeling was caused by guilt, so I tried to change Chae Seol-ha’s heart by pouring out the words that it was okay over and over again,
“sorry. I’m really, really sorry. Do Jin-ah. But I don’t mind you What should I do if I want to repay you, but my heart is not in my heart?”
“I will try harder.”
“Dojin-ah, I… … .”
I don’t like you as the opposite sex.
Chae Seol-ha’s face was very calm when she looked up.
There was no anger, no resentment, no sadness, no joy, but only the bitterness of not being able to accept my heart.
“Do not lie.”
“What am I going to gain by making up such a lie?”
“… … Noisy.”
The air in the campground sinks.
“You are wrong. It can never, never be, and should never be.”
“No, it’s the result of the two of us talking face to face.”
“Shut up. Okay, so when my sister comes, do what I tell you. I will connect you somehow.”
“Poor girl.”
“Shut up, I don’t have anything else to talk about with you.”
“I’ll wait, keep going.”
I left the place quietly, leaving only those words.
* * *
“I haven’t come yet… … ? It’s nine o’clock soon.”
It had been several hours since the sun had gone down, but there was still no human shadow to be found here.
“Something seems to be stuck… … . Aren’t you too?”
“yes.”
To make matters worse, communication, which had been working fine until a few hours ago, was cut off, so I couldn’t even check the situation outside.
“Ah, I don’t know, why don’t you come and see the sea? It doesn’t look like it’s coming anytime soon.”
Midsummer, tired of waiting, woke up and opened the caravan door.
Whoa oh oh-!
Midsummer, startled by the sudden gust of wind, quickly closed the door.
“No, what is this… … .”
Midsummer’s expression, looking at the scenery outside through the window attached to the door, is colored with astonishment.
“What is it?”
As I hurriedly ran out, what was reflected before my eyes were swaying trees and grass. that’s insane too.
“… … Why didn’t you know?”
“There is no sound. Without shaking.”
Contrary to the noisy environment outside, as Midsummer said, the inside of the caravan was still quiet. No, that doesn’t matter now.
“Look. I will come out.”
“What? why? Are you crazy? Where do I go in this situation—”
“A pity.”
Because Garyun is still in the tent. Alone in that humble piece of cloth that wasn’t even properly windproofed.
“… … Didn’t you hear him talking earlier? You told me to turn it off.”
Midsummer grabs my hand as I try to twist the doorknob.
“Why?”
“Do you want to go even after hearing that? If it’s hard, he’ll crawl on his own. Why do you have to?”
“I will go.”
“hey!”
I opened the caravan door and ran outside.
“ね… … !”
A strong wind like a blade blew in, and stones and dust flew in all directions. It was sunny just a few hours ago.
Being like a tree frog was referring to this kind of weather. So it was windproof.
“Poor!”
I hurriedly moved to the tent where Yuga-ryun was located. On the lawn in front of the tent, broken plates and muddy tofu sushi were lying around.
It’s ok, because you can make something like tofu sushi again.
“Poor!”
Ga-ryun Yu was holding onto the pole of the tent with all her might.
“Come on, it’s dangerous to stay like this. Let’s go inside.”
“Noisy, I’d rather die than be in the same room with you.”
“Okay, I know, for now—.”
“I know what you want to know!”
A sharp voice cuts through the fierce winds.
“What are you going to talk about? What the hell do you want to say so you can’t leave me alone? you said it was ok I told you to leave me alone. But, why do you keep doing that? … .”
“Are you pitiful?”
“I mean, take care of your sister when you have time to care about things like me!”
Yu Ga-ryun, who closed her eyes tightly, screamed as if she was vomiting.
I couldn’t understand exactly because of the gust of wind that was getting stronger, but I could vaguely notice that her sword was aimed at me.
But now.
“I’m sorry, I’ll hear the story from the inside.”
Whatever it is, I have to go now. I squirmed into the tent and grabbed Yu Ga-ryun’s waist.
“Let go, let go… … ! I told you to let it go!”
Yu Ga-ryun’s small fists are constantly hitting my chest.
While they were fighting inside the tent, the gust of wind grew stronger. It’s not like a typhoon, but it’s at a level that can hit and climb up to the level below that.
“Don’t touch me, don’t touch my body. You molester! If you leave, if you leave, I will report—”
“Whether you report it or not, do whatever you want. first-.”
The moment I was holding Yu Ga-ryun struggling in my arms, something flew in the wind and brushed my forearm.
“Ugh!”
“uh… … ?”
What was left behind where it rubbed is an elongated cut and dripping blood.
It seems that the piece of plate Yu Ga-ryun had thrown away was blown away by the wind.
“Ah, uh… !”
After that, several branches and stones flew in, but thanks to the protection that covered her body, Yu Ga-ryun in her arms did not get hurt.
“Come on, wait, wait. I’ll walk I’ll walk, so stop… … !”
“It is dangerous to get off now. It’s okay, so be still.”
“still!”
However, when a stone the size of a fist hit her thigh authentically, she could not stand it and almost fell.
“brother!”
“It’s okay, so please open the door.”
I squeezed all my remaining strength and ran to the caravan and opened the door.
