88 – Non-Returnable Items

Fortunately, my dignity and patience as a man were not tested for any longer.

This is because her mother, who had gone to buy groceries for her, came back soon, so we were free from the situation where it was just the two of us in her house.

“Aunt!”

“Our Yuna, how are you? Oh my, look at how much weight I lost. “Isn’t the company feeding you well?”

As soon as we meet, my mom touches Yuna’s cheek and looks worried as if she is looking at her daughter whom she hasn’t seen in a long time. At this point, I think this is a daughter born from her breasts.

It’s kind of funny, though, that she’s the daughter and she’s planning to be the daughter-in-law in the future.

“Oh, how well are you feeding them? They often order food from restaurants like restaurants. “If you can’t deliver to a place, we can even buy it for you.”

“That’s a good thing, but it’s still not good to only eat delivery food….”

While she was anxious to hear that she was eating well, her mother looked concerned once again after realizing that the food was all delivered food.

My mom doesn’t have an aversion to delivery food, but she’s the type of person who believes that ‘home-cooked food is, of course, home-cooked food!’, So that’s probably why she reacts that way. On the other hand, if she had heard Yuna or her aunt say the same thing, she would have said, ‘That’s it.’

“Heh, actually, that’s why I kind of missed home-cooked meals. Especially the food my aunt made!”

“Oh, really? “Did you think of your aunt’s food there too?”

“Of course. “It reminded me more of my aunt’s food than my mom’s food?”

What I felt was really clever about Yuna here was that, if things continued like this, she could easily fall into an endless cycle of worry, by naturally changing the topic.

As the grocery store items were piled up on her table, her mother immediately put her things away and tied the strings of her apron.

By the way, it’s funny because I don’t think it’s empty when I say that it reminded me of my mom’s food more than my aunt’s. Even before Yuna started dating me, she jokingly said, ‘Change my mom with your mom!’

“Then I can’t stay like this. “Your aunt will quickly prepare you some delicious food, so just wait a moment, okay?”

“Can I look forward to it, Auntie?”

“Well, as much as you want.”

Mom, who patted Yuna’s head and made a loving, helpless expression, turned her back. There was even a sense of sadness in her shoulders.

How much food are you planning to make? I’m almost scared.

Meanwhile, after being told to rest since we didn’t need any help, we went and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Actually, I don’t mind going to my room, but I deliberately chose this place because a dangerous scene could have happened there a little while ago.

“Isn’t it difficult? “It’s because your mom worries about you so much.”

“It’s difficult. Rather, I’m glad that you care about her like a daughter?”

“I’m glad that happened.”

She knew that her mother couldn’t hear our conversation, so she asked quietly, but Yuna answered with a bright smile. She seemed to be sincere in saying that, so I was grateful.

By the way, your speaking skills have become much more mature than before. That’s not something I would say, as someone of the same age as her.

“Would you like to leave your luggage while mom cooks? “She said she hasn’t even said hello to her aunt yet.”

“Oh, that’s good. “Already, her mom just texted her and asked when she was leaving the dorm.”

Wait, something is strange. This guy couldn’t be….

“… “Didn’t you tell me you came to my house?”

“Hey, actually I forgot….”

“… ….”

No, no matter what, that’s not true, young lady. They say he is being affectionate when he comes to my house because he misses me, but at the very least, I should have told him that he was at my house. You’re worried for no reason.

Realizing that I couldn’t delay even a moment, I immediately stood up, holding Yuna’s hand. A deep sense of regret came over her towards her aunt.

“Mom, I will take Yuna to her next door house.”

“Okay, come back. Oh, why don’t you bring some people from Yuna’s house while you’re on the way?”

“I will.”

From the looks of it, it looks like you bought a lot of ingredients with the intention of making it for the people next door from scratch.

Anyway, it worked out better. It’s my first meal after returning home, so it would be nice for Yuna to eat it with her family.

“Ah, Siyoon, wait a minute… !”

“Why?”

As I was about to open the front door, Yuna suddenly caught me and put the paper bag she had brought with her suitcase in her hand. What is that?

“Actually, I brought this as a gift for my aunt, but I forgot, hehehe….”

“Then bring it yourself, Mom will be happy.”

“Yes.”

Yuna headed to the kitchen with her own paper bag, probably because it contained quite heavy contents, and voila, in front of my mom! She appeared as if a sound effect could be heard and she stood in place.

“Auntie, here’s a gift! Will you accept it?”

“A gift? This guy. “You should give it to your mom, why are you giving this to your aunt?”

“Of course, I have my mom’s too. But I bought this myself because I wanted to give it to my aunt.”

It seems that since it was the day for her to succeed at work and return home, she sent her a few gifts to give to her parents.

However, since there would not have been a present for my mother, she must have bought and brought the gift in advance with her own money. I feel like the emotion her mother feels is conveyed to me.

“Can I take it out?”

“Of course.”

Rustle. Rustling.

Mom wearing an apron taking out the contents of a paper bag. What stuck out from there was none other than a wine bottle and glasses in a luxurious box.

“What kind of wine is this?”

My mother’s eyes widened when she saw that. That’s because, even though her mother doesn’t drink much other alcohol, she is a wine lover who can’t help but love wine.

“My aunt really likes wine. I thought about various gifts, and I thought this would be perfect. Of course, I have my uncle’s too!”

When I took out the contents of a separate paper bag, there was a box containing a set of ties and pins. I think that was a gift I bought for my dad.

Hey, I wonder if the head of our house is going to have a glass of tears tonight. Even though he seems blunt, my dad has a soft side.

“Thank you so much, Yuna. “Anyway, is it really okay for my aunt and uncle to receive a gift like this?”

“Of course.”

Her mother wiped away her tears as she saw Yuna smiling brightly as she answered without hesitation.

“Oh my, my daughter. Let’s hug one more time. “This aunt is a person without tears, and she’s about to shed all her tears?”

“Heh, now that I am your daughter and daughter-in-law, I will take better care of her aunt. “Look forward to the future.”

I felt a sense of pride in Yuna’s hand as she patted her back while being hugged warmly by her mother. Just as I received a lot from her Yuna and her aunt, my mother also took care of her Yuna a lot without knowing it, and I guess it’s because I felt like I was repaying her in some small way.

The two people who had been hugging each other separated, and I left the house to take Yuna to her next door, as I had originally intended. The air, which seemed to have become warmer, felt a little ticklish.

***

So where did the warm air from a little while ago go?

“Ugh, I can’t live, I can’t live! “You stayed next door to her without even contacting your mom?”

“I accidentally forgot. And I missed Siyoon so much, what should I do!”

As soon as we arrived next door and told them everything, the atmosphere changed into something that felt like walking on thin ice.

I couldn’t even think of getting involved in the argument between the lady and Yuna, and was busy sitting across from the table with the guy and watching him. Meanwhile, the man was sipping his coffee with a calm look on his face.

Does this mean that this level of daily life is nothing new in the Han family?

“Didn’t you even want to see your mom?”

“I video chatted with my mom every day, so why would she want to see me again? “She couldn’t even make a video call properly because Si-yoon and I seemed to know each other!”

“Ugh, this is what I call my daughter… !”

Wow, there is no such thing as a sitcom.

Meanwhile, I wondered if Yuna was talking too harshly, but seeing the man pretending not to listen and leisurely sipping his coffee, it seemed like even that was just normal daily life. This family is amazing in many ways.

“Oh, you two, stop fighting and go faster! “I heard your aunt is waiting for you with food!”

“Eujin is right. Just leave it at that, both of you, and get ready to go. “If there isn’t enough food yet, I should go and help, right? Is it okay to just get it and eat it?”

In the end, when the argument showed no sign of ending, Han Yu-jin, who could be said to be the youngest member of the family, stepped in to mediate between the two. When the man also came forward to help, the two people who had been huffing and puffing turned their heads in the opposite direction at the same time, pouting their lips.

It may be rude to say this, but it just feels like watching an elementary school fight.

“I’m sorry, Siyoon. “It’s like this every time those two fight.”

“No, as long as you don’t feel sorry for me….”

Leaving behind her aunt, who was getting ready to go, the man stood up from her seat and spoke to her with a bitter smile on his face. When she waved her hand, he shook her head as if he didn’t want to say that and gently placed his hands on both of her shoulders.

“Si-yoon, you know you can’t return it, right? Even though I am such a daughter, please take good care of me. “This is this man’s lifelong wish.”

“… ….”

Only then did I realize the meaning of the apology she had given me, so I secretly avoided her gaze and looked out of the corner of my eye at my girlfriend approaching me from a distance.

I couldn’t say anything to Yuna, who asked us, ‘What are you two doing?’

Hey, uncle. I don’t plan on returning it, but could you at least give me an instruction manual?
