4. Restriction

“It was delicious.”

“yes?”

“Yeah! Anything is delicious if you eat it with Siwoo.”

“Are you going to wash the dishes right away?”

“Yes why?”

Kyunghee turned her head over the sink holding an empty plate.

It seemed that he remembered my words about washing dishes right after eating.

I still have the ice cream I bought, but I thought it would be nice to eat it together.

In the meantime, I thought it would be good to explain the island we are going to today.

Kyung-hee pricked her ears and opened the wrapper of the ice cream.

“I really like these cones.”

“why?”

“Siwoo, you don’t know, but here it is. There’s chocolate in the top part.”

“That, what’s inside is inside. Isn’t there nothing that isn’t there?”

“ah!”

Kyeong-hee opened her mouth as if she knew now.

Then, as if he thought he was stupid, he immediately broke down in tears.

It was natural for his ears to droop.

Kyeong-hee turned her head away, blushing, perhaps because she was quite embarrassed.

I thought it would be like that for a while, so I didn’t look at it on purpose.

I thought it would make me even more embarrassed if I continued to look at it.

“The island we are going to see today is in the direction of City Hall.”

“City Hall?”

“Yes. You can go to the island by walking towards City Hall and taking the town bus.”

“So, are you taking our boat?”

Kyunghee tilted her head.

To get to the island, they seemed to think that since they had to cross the sea, they had to take a boat unconditionally.

It was half right and half wrong.

For tourists visiting the island, there is a promenade that you can walk on.

You can enjoy the sea breeze while walking along the promenade, or you can view the sea from a small passenger boat.

“Then, are you walking today?”

“Yes why?”

“Hey, how much does it cost to ride a ferry once…?”

Kyunghee’s eyes lit up.

It was obvious to me that I didn’t know what the purpose of the question was.

When I said that it was between 40,000 and 50,000 won per adult, Kyung-hee’s ears drooped.

I wanted to ask each of them to come out, but I couldn’t help it because it was difficult to explain to my parents.

When he said that he could still walk for several tens of minutes, Kyung-hee nodded.

“I ate them all.”

“already?”

“Yes. I like ice cream. I couldn’t eat it before, but now I can eat as much as I want.”

“I should buy it periodically for Kyunghee.”

“Ugh, weeks.. I don’t have to buy them periodically. Now I can buy them and eat them.”

“Then can I ask Kyung-hee for ice cream from now on?”

“Of course! And hug me.”

“Okay.”

Kyung-hee ran up to me in an instant and hugged me.

Then, as if she really liked it, she started rubbing her cheeks against her belly.

Then, as if he had remembered that he had to wash the dishes, he pushed me away with a sullen expression.

that was satisfying It was like proof that you can stay away from me for a while and do other things.

So, after saying that I would like to do housework, I went into my room and opened my major book.

Today, I was thinking of doing some homework or something before I leave.

No matter how much time had passed, by the time I finished all the tasks that had to be completed by this week, Kyung-hee cheered with a triumphant voice.

When we went outside, Kyunghee, who had been stretching herself, immediately turned around.

Then he said he worked hard and pointed to the room with both hands.

Certainly, the housework was neatly done.

In the meantime, I must have seen how well I was doing, and even if I tried to find fault, I couldn’t find it.

“What time is it?”

“Ummm, 1 o’clock? Are you going to eat lunch?”

“Let’s go eat lunch. How are you, Kyunghee?”

“great!”

Kyunghee nodded.

Since I was planning to eat something delicious for dinner, I thought I could eat a little bit of lunch.

So I took out the pasta noodles and checked the refrigerator for leftover sauce.

There was enough left over to serve two people.

In addition, there were other ingredients, so I thought I could make Neapolitan spaghetti with lots of vegetables or meat.

“It sounds delicious. Is it Neapolitan spaghetti?”

“yes.”

“By the way, Shiu. Why is Neapolitan spaghetti called Neapolitan spaghetti?”

“yes?”

“Well, I know the Neapolitan ghost story.”

Kyunghee asked as if she was genuinely curious.

Why is Neapolitan spaghetti called Neapolitan spaghetti?

No, I knew the Neapolitan ghost story, but it was strange that I didn’t know.

So I started explaining. Neapolitan means Neapolitan, but also Neapolitan.

So there is a saying that Neapolitan spaghetti is Neapolitan-style spaghetti, but it is also said that it is a dish written by Neapolitans.

When I said that the ghost story, which differs depending on interpretation, was a Neapolitan ghost story, Kyung-hee made a surprised expression as if he knew it only then.

“If you know Neapolitan ghost stories, you usually know Neapolitan spaghetti.”

“Aha… More than that, it’s Siwoo.”

“yes?”

Kyunghee smiled meaningfully.

Then he hugged me from behind and giggled.

“You know the dishes I’ve cooked for you so far.”

“Yes.”

“What do you think went in?”

“……Did you put something strange in there? Like blood… or hair…”

Momentarily, goose bumps came up.

At the same time, the hand that was stirring the ingredients stopped.

I forcibly moved my hand, thinking that I would get burned if I did this, but the fear still didn’t go away.

Besides, it was all the more frightening since Kyunghee was only smiling suspiciously.

“……………………………”

“No, of course I put my love for you!”

“What, were you kidding?`

“Yeah. Could I have put something strange in Siu’s food?”

“You’re surprised. If you suddenly ask such a question in a situation like this…”

“Uuu, idiot. Siwoo is an idiot. But, it’s amazing. If it were you, Siwoo, I thought you would respond calmly.”

“Just because I am, I’m not omnipotent.”

“is it?”

I thought the ingredients were all fried, so I turned off the heat and strained the boiled noodles through a sieve to cool.

And I hugged Kyung-hee, who was still holding me.

Kyung-hee liked it at first, but when I started to give her more strength, she put on a puzzled smile.

It was worth it. He was holding her so tightly that it was difficult for her to breathe.

However, Kyung-hee soon hugged me as if it didn’t matter.

It seemed that it didn’t matter that they were hugged so tightly that it was difficult to breathe.

There was no point in playing around like this, so I slowly relaxed my arms.

“You can hug me more, Siwoo.”

“why?”

“I don’t care if my body breaks, as long as I’m with you.”

“That’s a little scary.”

“But Siwoo, you taught me a lot. You are my everything. You may not like that.”

“I want you to be able to live without me. So I have no choice but to hate it.”

Kyung-hee didn’t like the words, and put on a scornful expression.

Even with that expression on his face, his thoughts did not change.

I don’t know if I had a relationship with Kyung-hee and even made her pregnant.

There was no guarantee that they would be held accountable forever.

Because people’s work changes quickly, and I didn’t want to see Kyunghee ruined because she couldn’t forget me at that time.

I also want to remain in a good relationship, but I couldn’t help it.

“……It’s mean. Siwoo. It’s mean.”

“sorry.”

“You taught me love, and taught me that my parents’ education was wrong.”

“Sorry.”

“You taught me that my world is wrong, and that there is a wider world out there.”

“Still, I can’t help it.”

“I made it so I couldn’t live without you, and it’s so severe that I shouldn’t rely on you.”

“But you know.”

“I know. You’re terribly selfish, Siwoo Park. I really hate you.”

Kyunghee cried and said.

But as if he didn’t really think so, his ears were half drooping.

If I really thought that, I could tell because my ears would have gone limp.

Kyung-hee also hurriedly added her words, as if that was not her intention.

“So, prepare your mind. I told you. I can’t live without you.”

“I know. You’re working hard too. I said I wanted you to try harder.”

“Well, then can I rely on you for a while? Answer me quickly, Siwoo.”

“Yeah. You can rely on it. More than that, the food gets cold.”

“Cook. I’ll be hugging you from behind.”

Kyunghee grumbled.

It was cute, so I stroked my hair once, washed my hands, and started cooking again.

It wasn’t long before a nice Neapolitan spaghetti was made.

Kyung-hee ate the spaghetti casually, as if she had cried at some point.

The ears were poking up at some point, and were shaking nicely.

“Do you have a favorite coffee or drink?”

“Siwoo, what do you like?”

“Me? Americano? I’ve never had anything other than that.”

“why?”

Kyunghee put on an expression of regret.

Then, realizing that he had gone too far, he let go of his expression.

I asked with the intention of buying me coffee, but I was embarrassed to say that I had never had anything other than Americano.

Of course, if it were me, I would have induced the conversation to try other things here.

But Kyunghee is still up to that point…

“Then, let’s eat the other ones too! I’ll buy them for you!”

Kyunghee said as she hit the table.

I was really excited, my ears stood up stiff.

It was nice to see him overflowing with confidence, as if telling him if there was something he wanted to eat.

Besides, it seemed like I was getting used to dealing with people more and more than last time.

Right now, I continued the topic just as I had thought.

Come to think of it, I thought it would be nice to let Kyung-hee spend money today.

Let’s see, looking at how sullen I was when I talked about the ferry earlier…

“Do you have 100,000 won on your card?”

“oh……..”

“If that’s enough, I can eat it from you, Kyung-hee, for today. I’ll ask you.”

“Yeah! Don’t worry, I’ll buy you a bunch of things you want to eat!”

Kyunghee said triumphantly.

Besides, he was so excited that even if I was going to wash the dishes, he stood in front of the sink and said he would do it himself.

I couldn’t help but laugh because I was curious about how he would react if he confessed on a date today.
