195 – Will it snow on Christmas? (10)

Unusually, there was a lot of Korean food in the food prepared by Kim Chae-eun.

Mushrooms and meat neatly arranged in the center, greens arranged by type in a round bowl, fish that looks like they are cooked with the right grilling, and even side dishes that taste good like dongchimi… .

Familiar foods at first glance.

However, the high-end Korean food, whose level has risen dramatically, stood out.

In particular, the beef in the form of a skewer placed in the center is a food I have seen before.

sublingual.

As one of the popular foods in the Goryeo Dynasty, grilled meat specially cooked with proper grilling and seasoning.

Food that is indispensable when it comes to high-end Korean food was placed all over the table.

“You usually eat a lot of Western or Japanese food. So, if I prepare it in Korean style, I thought it would be a bit special.”

At Kim Chae-eun’s brief explanation, I nodded.

“good night. It seems to break the stereotype that something is food for Christmas.”

“Right, right?”

“yes. I prepared very well.”

On Christmas, I always go to a restaurant, a cafe, or even a space just the two of us.

It seems like it was always the same repertoire…

It felt good to face a fresh event called ‘Home Party with Korean Cuisine’.

Then, his eyes landed on a table.

It was a table with the wines that Kim Chae-eun had chosen earlier.

When I saw that, I immediately shook my head.

“But doesn’t wine go well with you?”

Korean food is my favorite food, but…

I wondered if the prepared alcohol would go well with these foods.

‘Ah, is this also a stereotype?’

Come to think of it, if you go to a high-end Korean restaurant, there are places that sell wine together.

Due to the nature of Korean food that goes well with everything…

Surprisingly, I didn’t know that it would go well with wine.

I was lost in my thoughts for a while.

Suddenly, Kim Chae-eun stood up from her seat.

Then he quietly moved to the table there, and soon took out an object hidden in the cloth under the table.

“uh?”

It was something I knew very, very well.

A glass bottle of a familiar size and shape.

The green visual I’ve been watching so long.

Koreans love the most…

It was soju.

Kim Chae-eun lightly touched the dewy soju bottle to her cheek and said.

“lol. I knew that, so I prepared for this as well-”

“Are you really well prepared?”

Even though I’ve had drinks with my friends, I’ve never had soju in a strange way.

It seemed that it was because, due to the nature of holders who touch large sums of money from a very young age, they first look for expensive alcoholic beverages.

But the combination of soju and Kim Chae-eun?

Something unbalanced but fit well.

… Actually, Kim Chae-eun is pretty, so I didn’t even know that she looked good with anything.

“And tell me if you want to eat Western or Japanese food. It’s in the kitchen.”

“… Are you ready for all of that?”

“yes. You never know what you might want to eat today, so I prepared it just in case.”

this is a bit exciting

I said, scratching my cheeks shyly.

“Something makes me feel sorry.”

“oh. It was a promise I made to meet you on a suddenly changed schedule. Of course.”

Kim Chae-eun smiled and returned to her seat.

Then they filled each other’s glasses that were placed in front of them.

“Jaehyun.”

oh

What do you expect to do?

Kim Chae-eun hurriedly uttered that line, touching her glass and her cheek.

“If we drink this… ”

“Forbid that.”

“ah. Ah, why- I wanted to try this.”

“Pooh-”

As expected, if you play a prank on someone you don’t usually do, the reaction that comes back is very efficient.

I put a smile on my lips and took a drink.

Then, I bumped into Kim Chae-eun’s drinking glass with a sad expression.

“Thank you for being with me this year, Chae-eun. Merry Christmas.”

It’s embarrassing, but I want to say a sincere greeting.

After suddenly falling into this world.

Kim Chae-eun was the first person I got to know and was with the most.

Perhaps, without her, adapting to this unfamiliar world would not have been easy.

Because I know that all too well…

I wanted to take this special occasion to express my gratitude to her.

“Really pitiful. I was going to do it first.”

Kim Chae-eun looked at me with a sullen expression, then smiled and bumped into the drinking glasses.

“Thank you too, Jaehyun. Merry Christmas.”

* * *

The night deepened.

And naturally, our drinking party deepened.

At first, the atmosphere was cheerful as usual.

Enjoy the meal prepared by Kim Chae-eun, talk about the topic of conversation that we always shared, and in the meantime, drink a glass at a time… .

Coincidentally, most of the items I got from ＜Ice Garden＞ yesterday were ‘ice-related’, so I gave them to her as a gift.

It was a normal home party for a special White Christmas.

‘… How did it happen?’

But as time passed, the home party turned into a drinking party.

At first, we set the mood by drinking soju, but under the pretext that the liquor we bought ourselves was not worth it, we also started drinking liquor.

One bottle, two bottles, three bottles…

I couldn’t drink all that much alcohol, but I opened it by type and drank a variety.

And if you drink alcohol with high alcohol content, it’s only natural that you’ll get drunk.

Occasionally, holders with excellent magical powers were able to neutralize alcohol in the body, but unfortunately, today’s Kim Chae-eun seemed to have no intention of doing that.

“Jaehyun, I’m sleepy.”

Because of those words, the location has already changed to Kim Chae-eun’s room.

Kim Chae-eun, who had been lying in bed for about 10 minutes…

As if it never happened, they jumped up and started talking again.

… Mainly the subject was my story.

“ … … That’s what I am- Right there! When you showed up, I was surprised. lol. Jaehyun was so cool back then. this is not a lie Really.”

“You know, you know. This is already the fourth story, Chae-eun.”

“oh. did you? lol.”

I made up my mind to get drunk today.

Kim Chae-eun must be able to neutralize alcohol with magic, but she doesn’t even show any signs of that… .

“braided-?”

… The problem is that Kim Chae-eun is pretty cute.

Kim Chae-eun, who was drunk, showed a charm that seemed to fall into her.

Right now, I’m clinking glasses with her as if I’m possessed, so I’m done talking.

Besides, even though he was drunk a lot, the atmosphere was not ruined because there was no special injection that could be called a mistake.

“braided.”

“Jaan- hehehe.”

Shiraz’s astringent and bitter taste goes over your throat.

Perhaps it’s because it’s a red wine with a strong fruity scent, but I could feel the sweet flavor even in the astringent taste.

Kim Chae-eun seems to like this the most among the wines she bought today.

“Teuaaa- I’m sleepy again.”

Kim Chae-eun put the glass on the table and lay down on the bed again.

The structure we are in now is very unusual.

The table with food and wine was brought into Kim Chae-eun’s room and placed as close to the bed as possible.

And while sitting on the bed as a chair, he is drinking.

It was because of Kim Chae-eun’s request to lie down while drinking.

Looking at it, I burst into laughter.

“You can sleep. A lot of time has already passed.”

“oh-“

But at those words, Kim Chae-eun jumped up again.

And I glanced at my watch…

Soon after, he smiled and looked at me.

“I’m sorry-I want to drink more with Jaehyun… .”

… What the hell is this a fox or a bear

I feel like my heart is suddenly hurting.

It’s a talent that makes me wonder if it’s the Kim Chae-eun I used to know.

I asked her with a calm expression.

“Are you coming in without blinking?”

“tooth. I heard everything from the kids too? Jaehyun, you know my heart better than anyone else.”

In fact, it was foreseeable.

Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun.

I ended up dating the two, but there was no way I would remain friends with Kim Chae-eun, who had a deeper exchange than that.

Perhaps Kim Chae-eun liked me from a while ago, and I liked her too.

Maybe it’s because we both noticed that fact…

I might have been more cautious.

Sussuk-

Suddenly, Kim Chae-eun moved and sat on my thighs across the bed.

‘… … .’

For a moment, my heart almost stopped.

Clothes collided with each other, but I could feel her soft skin…

Both arms hugged my neck.

And he looked at me with slightly moistened eyes.

“i like you.”

“… ah.”

Sometimes you know what’s going to happen, but when you hear it, you’re surprised.

I was like that now.

“I like you, Jaehyun.”

When I heard Kim Chae-eun’s shy but heartfelt confession.

As if I had stopped breathing…

I couldn’t say anything.

As much as she is now, she was so pretty that it was hard to express.

“I like it so much, I like it so much… It must have taken this long to get here.”

Kim Chae-eun laughed.

And slowly it comes to me

As the distance got closer, so did her expression.

“that much… As late as it is, I want to pour everything into you. all… I want to give it all.”

you too.

I hope you feel the same way.

Those little words are whispered in my ear.

I tried to say that I like you too, that I’ve waited as long as you, but…

There was no room for that.

As if to prove one’s own expression.

It’s because Kim Chae-eun kissed me as she sat on me.

The sweet scent of Shiraz was felt even when he kissed her.

widely-

I hear the sound of my body hitting the bed.

I lay down on the bed in the same position I had kissed Kim Chae-eun.

Then I saw Kim Chae-eun, who carefully opened her mouth and breathed.

“I like you too, Chae-eun.”

I see her eyes rounding for a moment.

What did she say, how did she come to me… I knew all too.

And I knew very well that the process of making that decision would never have been easy.

So I wanted to save more.

So I wanted to hold her more dearly.

The preparation for it was not enough no matter how long it took.

I moved my body carefully so that Kim Chae-eun would not be surprised and kissed her again.

With the snow falling outside the window…

It was a deep Christmas night.
