Chapter 19: Galbi Jjim
So, after Su-ah was sufficiently satisfied, she finally released Ga-eun.
“Ah, unnie. Your hair is all messy.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Even if it’s messy, it’s pretty.”
“I’m not okay though……?”
Ga-eun, who had escaped from Su-ah’s embrace, glared sharply at the one who made her hair like this.
“Hah, Ga-eun gave me that look just just now?”
Su-ah made an exaggerated sad expression and looked at Ga-eun.
“After half a year of not seeing each other, to look at unnie like that. Unnie is so upset.”
“We’ve been texting almost every day.”
“Texting is different from meeting in person. I can’t hug you like this.”
“Kya!”
Su-ah immediately pulled Ga-eun into her arms again.
“Ga-eun-ah, you need to gain some more weight. You’re too skinny right now.”
“I’m fine as is?”
“Not fine. Unnie needs to feel the weight in her arms.”
“I don’t need that.”
“Hic, hic, even when I was little, I used to run around happily calling unnie unnie.”
Oh. So she did that?
While listening quietly, I tried to imagine Ga-eun’s such appearance in my mind.
Ga-eun running around calling unnie unnie...
Emmm…… emmm……
It didn’t come to mind easily.
As someone who only knows the grown-up Ga-eun, it was a hard image to imagine.
Hearing Su-ah’s words, perhaps Ga-eun felt embarrassed about that past.
Her once pale face turned very red as she answered.
“Um, unnie. That’s really when I was little.”
“Whether now or then, unnie’s eyes don’t see much difference.”
“Some memories shouldn’t be forgotten? Embarrassing.”
“What if it doesn’t get forgotten. And what is there to be embarrassed about. It was just cute.”
Su-ah smiled brightly and looked at Ga-eun.
Of course, Ga-eun might not like Su-ah’s reaction, whether it’s because she’s embarrassed or not.
Without knowing which, she narrowed her eyebrows and glared at Su-ah.
Anyway.
After the small commotion at the entrance was somewhat settled.
“By the way, Ga-eun-ah, you haven’t eaten dinner yet. Let’s eat together. I’ll make it for you.”
“Will you make it again this time? Isn’t it troublesome?”
“Aigoo, it’s not troublesome at all, so don’t worry.”
With those words, Su-ah got up from the sofa and went into the kitchen.
Her movements were familiar, as if she had used this house’s kitchen many times.
In Su-ah’s hand as she entered the kitchen was a bag.
From the glance, it was a bag filled with side dishes.
I watched that from the side and casually spoke to Ga-eun.
“Have you often cooked or something before?”
“Ah, yes. Unnie makes it almost every time I come.”
“Oh, interesting.”
When I see the other sisters, it seems fighting is daily life.
Here, the relationship is amazingly good.
It’s not easy to have such a good relationship.
“Any reason?”
“It’s hard to say it’s a reason, but the age difference between me and unnie is seven years.”
Hmm, so that’s why.
I had heard that if the age difference is small, they fight all the time, and if large, they fight less.
With a seven-year age difference, it makes sense that they get along well.
“Even so, we are a bit special.”
“Of course?”
“Ever since the old days, we’ve been looked at strangely by the surroundings.”
Yeah, I would look at it strangely too.
Sisters with good relationships are almost like a unicorn, a rare species.
If unicorns are walking around openly, how could I not notice them.
I nodded inwardly and agreed.
While talking with Ga-eun about various things.
“Ga-eun-ah, the galbi jjim is done. Let’s eat together.”
From the kitchen, Su-ah’s voice came with the delicious smell.
“Ah, okay. I’ll come.”
“Yo, what about me? Give me galbi jjim too.”
“The Crow Tit has sunflower seeds, you know.”
“No, you’re going to eat the delicious smell alone?”
“What can I do. The Crow Tit can’t eat galbi jjim, right?”
“You…!”
Then how did Bingsoo eat last time.
If I turn into a person like then, it should be fine.
Huh? Not like that?
So let’s eat together.
I stared straight into Ga-eun’s eyes with sparkling eyes.
The Crow Tit, with a fluffy cute appearance.
But if it looks at me with such eyes, it would definitely not be stopped by anyone.
“Ugh…?”
As expected, this body’s destructively cute appearance had an effect.
As evidence, Ga-eun was moving her gaze around to avoid my gaze.
After staring at Ga-eun more intensely.
“Ah, okay…?”
“Hah.”
Easy.
In the end, Ga-eun gave in in front of my sparkling eyes.
As expected, the saying that cuteness is justice is true.
“Instead, I’ll serve you separately, so when unnie leaves, you have to eat it.”
“Aigoo, I was going to do that much too.”
“Really…?”
“You. What do you think I’m seeing you as.”
“Hmm… Crow Tit.”
What…
Right. Crow Tit.
No wrong words. The logic of words has no flaw.
But.
“Damn, what a natural thing to say!”
“Ayot.”
I pecked the back of Ga-eun’s hand with my beak.
Seeing Ga-eun’s expression that seemed to hurt a little, I felt a bit relieved.
This isn’t asking ‘I was born on my birthday. Were you born on your birthday?’ or something weird.
What strange words are these.
By the way, I hit Ga-eun’s hand back with my wing one more time.
Anyway.
“Galbi jjim, you’ll leave some for me, right?”
“Yes, I’ll leave it, so don’t worry.”
Yes, that settles it.
Instead of speaking, I nodded up and down with my head.
“Ga-eun-ah. Come quickly. We have to eat together.”
“I’m coming now.”
So Ga-eun left the Crow Tit on the sofa and went to eat galbi jjim alone.
Hic hic.
I looked at the back of Ga-eun’s head with a pitiful expression.
Of course, it had no effect.
Tsk, cold-hearted guy.
“What were you doing that you’re coming so late. Is it a boyfriend?”
“Not that at all?!”
“If our Ga-eun gets a boyfriend, unnie has to tell right away?”
“Why is that.”
“I can’t hand Ga-eun over to some weird guy.”
Ga-eun and Su-ah sitting at the table ate while talking about various things.
“By the way, Ga-eun. You started raising the Crow Tit?”
“Um, it’s similar, right?”
“Ah, then is it a summoned beast?”
“Yeah, it’s closer to a summoned beast.”
“There’s a summoned beast that’s so cute.”
Su-ah looked at me sitting quietly on the sofa and said.
“So what’s the name of the Crow Tit?”
“Crow Tit…?”
“So what’s the Crow Tit’s name?”
“Crow Tit.”
Su-ah looked at Ga-eun with an expression of not understanding.
No, what is this…
Not who is the first baseman or something, what kind of conversation is this.
I looked at the backs of their heads with an incredulous expression.
“So, Ga-eun-ah. The Crow Tit’s name is Crow Tit?”
“Yeah, I’ve said that several times.”
“No, I didn’t think you’d say that.”
“It’s like that though…?”
What, there was a bit of communication error.
Anyway, the result seemed to resolve the conversation well.
It’s definitely hard to think the Crow Tit’s name is Crow Tit.
“By the way, why did the name become Crow Tit?”
“That’s right…?”
“Huh? Ga-eun, you didn’t name it that?”
“Just, it naturally became like that.”
Ga-eun shifted her gaze and looked at me.
Why, why suddenly looking at me.
I don’t know why it became like this either.
I answered by sending an incredulous gaze.
“What do you think, unnie? Doesn’t the Crow Tit seem to like its own name?”
“What, it looked happy.”
“Then it’s good.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
Ga-eun nodded up and down with her own words.
At that time, the atmosphere was about to become awkward.
“By the way, unnie, what were you so busy with for half a year?”
“Ah, right. Actually, the reason I came today was because of that, I forgot.”
Su-ah started looking for something on her phone.
“Ga-eun-ah, do you know Yoon Se-hwa?”
“Huh? That S-class hunter Yoon Se-hwa?”
Ga-eun tilted her head as if asking if it was obvious.
The S-class hunter Yoon Se-hwa with purple hair and purple lightning.
One of the characters that comes up when talking about Korea’s strongest.
We had Chae Ju-ah, an S-class like her.
But her actual combat ability was evaluated as being one step above Chae Ju-ah.
“Suddenly, why Yoon Se-hwa?”
“Yoon Se-hwa said she wants to meet Ga-eun. What do you think?”
“Um…?”
Ga-eun’s expression was exactly like this.
Why that person for me?
