55 – On a train that can’t be alert

‘No, why are you coming out of here!’

I stared blankly at Kang So-young in an unexpected and embarrassing situation.

“Hello, Wonwoo.”

“Ah, yes…. Hello.”

Kang So-yeong greets me politely as she gets out of the limousine. But when she sees the wrinkles between her eyebrows, this is what she looks like when she’s in a bad mood.

It was a short time, but when she looked at her while undergoing hellish training from Kang So-young, she could clearly see how she was feeling.

“Wonwoo….”

A small voice calling me came from the limousine, and Sujeongie got out of the limousine with a sullen expression.

An innocent figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a small sunflower studded like a point in a pure white dress that exposes her shoulders.

From anyone’s point of view, it was an outfit that perfectly suited summer vacation and the sea, and although it might be a bit less lively than when we went to see cherry blossoms, I felt that our innocence stood out more.

Sujeong is wearing a bright outfit that would look good enough for an ionic beverage advertisement, but her expression was very dark.

‘At this level, it’s clear that someone really hates me!’

I did it by chance, but it was as expected. She decided to ask what had happened to the staggering situation.

“Sujeong-ah, so what happened?”

“That… , that is… I mean.”

Uncharacteristically for Sujeongi, she hesitated, and Soyeong Kang looked at me and said, unloading her luggage.

“The lady made a big mistake. She’s been on vacation before, but she’s never been alone. No matter how much she is a lover, she can’t spend 2 days and 1 night. There are things from the past. Isn’t that right, Wonwoo?”

“Ah, that’s right….”

She quickly responded to Kang So-yeong’s words, who gave off a lot of chills to me despite the hot weather.

And when I glanced at her Sujeongi, she nodded her head slightly, reaffirming that she had made a mistake.

The bottom line is that Sujeong was mistaken and thought that she was going on a trip alone.

In fact, if it ends like this, you should just go over it as if it was just a simple happening, but Kang So-yeong, who is next to her, can’t accept it so easily.

Since the chicken and beer incident, I was branded as a promiscuous and lascivious person who always targets Sujeongi’s body, and my trust in me plummeted like stocks in a crash.

But they said they were going on a trip together, but nothing was said? From Kang So-young’s point of view, it could only be regarded as another betrayal.

Of course, from my point of view, I am full of resentment because I thought Sujeongie was like that and went over with it.

[Passengers on the train bound for Shinho Station, please come out in advance and wait.]

At that time, a broadcast about the train we were supposed to board came on.

Kang So-yeong looked at me, then she let out a small sigh and said.

“We’ll talk about this later after vacation. A happy heart can fade for nothing.”

With that said, Kang So-yeong turned her body around and led the way, dragging her two suitcases. Sujeong also pulled my arm with an awkward smile as if she felt sorry for me.

“hehehe… , It can’t be helped that it happened anyway, right? Just go and have fun.”

“That’s right. Whatever it is, it’s going to be her first trip with Sujeong.”

I gave up my regret for a while, agreed with Sujeongi’s opinion, lifted the bag that was parked next to her, and moved to catch the train.

*

Since it’s not that far away, I took a normal train that has been around for a long time, not a high-speed train that can go quickly.

One of the things Sujeongie wanted to do with me was to travel by train, and she actively insisted that taking a high-speed train is no different from taking an airplane, which she used to take often.

Thanks to this, Sujeongie’s face is satisfied with the slightly rattling ride and train sound unique to old trains.

“By the way, I can’t see people at all.”

Since it was a weekday, I wondered if there were any people around, but I didn’t see anyone except for Soo-jeong next to me and Kang So-yeong, who was sitting in the back seat instead of the seat facing me, saying he would take care of me.

“For the safety of the lady, we rented all the two train cars on either side of the train, including the one we are in.”

“That… I see… , hahahaha.”

She couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly at Soyoung Kang’s words as she came up with her answer.

Kang So-young is entirely in charge of Sujeongi’s security, so it must have been Kang So-young who took these measures.

‘Don’t bother borrowing 3 spaces. Is it a big spender or is it just that much of a concern?’

She is a very sincere person, at least as much as she values Sujeongi.

“Right. Wonwoo, let’s swim and play as soon as we go.”

Sujeongi dropped her face from my shoulder and looked up.

“No matter how hot the weather is right now, won’t the sea water be cold?”

“Ah, they all have indoor pools. To do that, I even brought all my swimsuits in advance!”

“Swimsuit? I didn’t bring anything I will tell you in advance.”

She had no experience with swimming pools except for the previous trip to learn how to swim, so the picture of her wearing a swimming cap and triangle swimsuit pants came to her mind.

“Ah, Wonwoo, you can wear anything comfortably. Because it is a private pool. Whether I’m wearing something pretty or not, just look at it and tell me, hehehe.”

At Sujeongi’s words with a confident smile, I naturally imagined her wearing various types of swimsuits and exuding a captivating charm.

“Kuhm.”

At that time, she was awakened by the sound of clearing her throat, and when she turned around, she met Kang So-young’s fire-breathing eyes.

‘No, look at me!’

Two women try to eat me with different meanings, so I feel like I’ve eaten a lot of sweet potatoes even though it’s a holiday that should be pleasant because I’m in the middle.

“Huh?”

Then the door opened in the distance and I saw a cart loaded with snacks coming.

Soojeong told me with twinkling eyes that she had also found it.

“Wow! Are you really selling inside the train like that? I saw it online and wanted to buy it and try it.”

“Really? It’s just the same as the ones sold at convenience stores or places like that.”

At those words, Soojung wiggled her fingers from side to side and said.

“Where you eat with someone is important. We can remember that we ate something like this together with Wonwoo and talk about it later when we get married, or when we had a child, we can recall memories by explaining that our father and mother did this.”

Looking at Sujeongi excitedly explaining as if the distant future had already been confirmed in one snack, I naturally laughed.

In her mind, the future without me didn’t exist in the first place.

Even though I may be suspicious, anxious, and jealous, I assume that I am always by Sujeong’s side.

Sometimes you tell such a heartfelt story without even realizing it, and from the listener’s point of view, it feels good to receive unconditional love for the first time.

“Are you listening to me, Wonwoo?”

When I didn’t get any response, Sujeongi said with a sigh.

“Yes, I am listening. Okay, so when the cart comes, buy something you want to eat.”

“Yes!”

Since we are the only customers anyway, a snack cart quickly approaches us.

Various kinds of snacks, light breads, and drinks were the most noticeable.

The compressed squid and beef jerky looked delicious, but I didn’t really think about it because I had breakfast, so I just picked up a jar-shaped banana milk.

Then I suddenly remembered and looked at Kang So-young and asked.

“What would you like to eat? I’ll buy it for you. Security is good, but since it’s a trip, you should eat something.”

Kang So-young, who was watching her offer from behind, remained silent, then moved her body to choose squid, beef jerky, and canned coffee.

Sujeongi, who was struggling while watching the snacks closely, looked at me and said with a smile.

“Oh, our Wonwoo is kind and takes good care of others.”

“We’re going together, isn’t it a bit like eating alone?”

“Right, right. But you keep taking care of it like that, so it feels strangely like that?”

We both flinched at the sudden, sharp word and looked at Sujeongi.

I thought it was a big deal because I remembered what happened before, but fortunately, Sujeongi smiled and said.

“Ah, just kidding. Joke. This looks delicious Wonwoo-nim, I’ll eat well!”

After making a serious joke, Soo-jeong put the things she bought on her thighs with an innocent childlike face.

It seems that the unknown crisis has passed, but if you are not careful, you do not know when it will explode.

‘I was thrilled with the sweetness until now, but now I notice it. Going crazy.’

With that thought in mind, as I sat down after finishing her calculations, Sujeongie’s hand suddenly stretched out and put a boiled egg in her mouth.

As if I had gotten used to it by now, I chewed it after thinking about it, and the savory taste followed with a gritty feeling that filled my mouth.

“Adults from a generation older than us say that they ate boiled eggs on the train like this. And here.”

Sujeongi handed over the cider as if she already knew that her lips were dry.

I drank it to soothe my mouth, and it wet my mouth like sweet rain in a drought, while the sweetness spread and I felt a clean finish.

I couldn’t help but nod my head to see if this was a combination of food. Even though it was something she was accustomed to eating, it felt different.

As if satisfied with my expression, Sujeongi smiled and said,

“Whoops, and I wanted to try this too!”

What Sujeongie chose this time was a stick snack coated with thin chocolate. That cookie with crazy details to make November 11th her anniversary.

She remembers fussing about Han Yu-ra for forgetting that day in the past, so it’s one of those snacks she never eats.

Soo-jeong carefully unwrapped her and took one out and put it in her own mouth. And her Sujeongi’s red eyes drew a half moon and looked at me with a smile.

I was able to figure out what I wanted at a glance.

A game where you bite and eat snacks from each other’s ends, and the smaller the distance, the more you win.

It often came out as a way to make a man and a woman into a couple or to confirm the couple’s affection.

“Quickly, Wonwoo. I really wanted to try it.”

Sujeong-i urged while biting on the sweets with a slightly inaccurate pronunciation. If it were just the two of us, I would have been comfortable, but I was concerned about Kang So-young.

When we glanced at each other, surprisingly, Kang So-yeong just stared at us with her sidelong glance, but she didn’t stop or do anything.

‘Is this enough to be a lover? The baseline is really ambiguous. It’s ambiguous.’

After pouring out my dissatisfaction like that, I asked for a snack as Sujeongi was waiting for.

“Then shall we begin?”

“Huh? Yes.”

As if Sujeongi had waited, she began to quickly approach, slowly gnawing at the cookies so that they would not break.
