Daddy Long Legs
[Side Story] Their Own Chuseok (3)



유여주
Oh my...

Yeoju stretched for a while and then quietly came out, afraid that Yoon-i would wake up.

Seokjin was already in the kitchen.


유여주
What the... I told you to do it together...

The female protagonist, who had quickly put on an apron, stood next to Seokjin.


석진
No, what. Haha, this is nothing special...


There were neatly stacked bundles of rice cakes in one corner.


유여주
Then what should I do..?


석진
I finished preparing the vegetables yesterday... Do you want to grill some meat next to me?

The two stood side by side and began to eat.


유여주
When should I tell Yooni?


석진
I should say it while I'm at it... I'm going to hear complaints from Yoon-i if I say it late... haha


유여주
That's true too... haha okay... I'll see what happens later...

Let's clear a corner of the living room and start setting up the table.

At that sound, Yoon-i and Jeong-guk also got up and came down.



국
Why are you doing this so early in the morning?


유여주
It's morning...? When did the sun rise... haha


The table was quickly finished.

The turn proceeded in a fairly quiet atmosphere, but it was soon broken.


윤
(Whisper) But, do other people do this too?


유여주
(Whisper) I don't know.. haha


국
(Whisper) I don't know either ㅋㅋㅋㅋ..???

When Jeongguk, who was pouring drinks next to me, turned around and said he didn't know,

Seokjin, who had been watching the situation, poured his alcohol into the drinking bowl, turned around, and smiled.


석진
I think I'm the only one here who's ever done ancestral rites as a child, and I didn't really like it either.


석진
I lived with my aunt without my parents, and when relatives came to perform ancestral rites at my uncle's house, I would always hide in my room because I was from a different family and they thought I was being treated badly.


석진
But since Yoon-i wanted to take care of her uncle, I prepared diligently by reading books.


석진
Honestly, is this for the living or for the dead?


석진
Let's spend today for now, gather opinions, and change it to our own style.. I think Jimin would want that too.. haha

Jimin's tree, which was planted in the arboretum, was growing very well.


윤
Is this where you visit the graves?

Yoon-i, who had been looking around here and there on the way here, spoke with a look that said she understood a little.


석진
Yeah, that's right.. haha

After finishing the visit to the grave, the four people and the two children sat around the table with the holiday food brought for the visit on the mat.

There will be alcohol with the dried pollack and jeon. As soon as the grave visit was over, Guk-i and Seok-jin each started having a drink.


석진
Kya~ Guk-ah, that's why your uncle pulled out the knife stuck in my thigh and turned around, but I let my guard down for some reason, so I knocked Jimin over.


윤
Ah... When I really think about that day...


윤
My uncle was pretty cool that day.


윤
At that time, my uncle had not yet reformed, so I wonder what he would have done if he had taken me with him... Seriously... I feel dizzy...


윤
I really thought I was a knife wielder..


석진
Ah, I'm a bit of a knife wielder... I still have a scar on my thigh...


윤
I knew something worse would happen! Haha Anyway!!! You really saved my life so many times.. haha

Yoon stopped talking and his eyes started to water again.


아이들
How did the old man save his mother?


윤
It's long, so to speak... hahaha Mom will tell you later!


윤
When the kids grow up and have some time, I think Yoon and the author will write an autobiography.

Yoon, who seemed to be lost in thought, suddenly spoke to the female protagonist.


유여주
Oh! Is that so...? I'm really craving it,


석진
Yeah~~~ Let's write a real story about Yoon, not Yoon who is dressed up like someone else, like a chair left behind.. haha


유여주
Okay~~ I received it!!!

Yeoju and Yoon looked at each other and smiled.

They say that sharing stories about the deceased during their lifetime at places like grave visits or ancestral rites is a way to honor them.

This isn't a preface...^^;;;
