"Mister! Mister!"
" .. what? "
"The clock just struck 12 o'clock!!"
" so. "
"Ha.. I just turned 20! So"
" ..? "
"Want to go for a drink! Call?"
"What?! No. You're with other kids..."
"I want to go out for a drink with you, sir..?"
"Okay... well, I'm safe for now."
"Okay then let's go!"
So, my uncle and I went to a nearby food stall and ordered two bottles of soju! And for the side dishes...
"Sir, what do you want to eat for a snack?"
" uh? "
"What would you like to eat as a side dish?"
"Ah... I want fish cake?"
"Okay, over there! Two bottles of soju and one fish cake soup!"
" yes~ "
"Wow... I'm looking forward to it."
" what. "
"My first drinking partner is an old man. Can't you just leave me behind even if I'm drunk?"
"You and I can handle it well haha"
"Sir, are you weak to alcohol?"
"No, just in case"
While we were talking like that, the menu we ordered came out and I immediately opened the soju and poured it into the man's glass and mine.
"Okay then, sir!"
"Okay~"
Tarang -
We clinked our glasses to signal the start, and the old man and I continued drinking. And then I slowly lost consciousness.
"Mister! What the heck... I'm all grown up now, but don't I look pretty?"
"You're pretty. Even more so now that I'm an adult, even though it was always the first time I saw you."
"What is it.. haha, eight~! I'm excited.. "
"I said it to make you excited."
"I think I'm all grown up now, right?"
I pushed my face toward the old man, holding the flower petals, and the old man threw his head back in surprise.
"Wh...what are you doing?"
"I'm all grown up now, right?"
" .. you "
"Hehe.. I like you the most, sir! You're the best!"
Then the old man looked at me and tugged at the corners of his mouth, but I didn't know what that smile meant.
"Kim Yeo-ju."
" yes? "
"I told you, I told you to handle it well"
" yes? "
Then the man pulled my face and kissed me. I was surprised, but I was too drunk to notice. I wasn't going to avoid it anyway, but today, the New Year's Day,
I'm so glad that today has become an unforgettable day.
"Mister, I think I'm all grown up now, don't I?"
"No. Haha, you're still too young for me, so you have to stay by my side? I'll just watch over you."
"Hey! You're drunk, aren't you!?"
"No, I'm not drunk."
