By the time we got home from the water park, it was already late at night.
We had fun, but the long travel and water activities left us exhausted. We fell into a deep sleep, and in the morning...
We woke up a bit later than usual, facing each other in bed with groggy expressions.
"Your hair's a mess~"
"Yours isn't... oh wait."
"Do I look weird?"
"No, just pretty."
Heena's hair was certainly more disheveled compared to her usual neat appearance, but that only made her cuter. Then again, when wasn't she cute?
We smiled, gently smoothing each other's hair before lazily making the bed and leaving the room.
"Son, daughter. Are you up?"
"Good morning, Mom. Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah. Mom, where's my older brother?"
"He didn't come home last night."
"Must be at his girlfriend's place."
That tiny apartment? Jeongwoo's pretty tall too. It must've been cramped.
"Hungry? I've made breakfast. What are your plans for today?"
Mom emerged from the kitchen, asking about our schedule for the day.
Before my regression, our family practiced a positive form of laissez-faire parenting, so Mom never asked about such things in the morning. But now, it seemed natural for her to ask.
She wasn't asking me, though. She was asking Heena. Heena was such a good conversationalist that Mom probably planned to spend a relaxed time with her in the living room if we didn't have any plans.
"We're meeting up with my brother later to hang out."
"Is that so? Do you need pocket money?"
"No, we're fine. Thanks for the card yesterday. We used it well."
"Let me know if you need anything later. Are you eating lunch out?"
"Yeah. My brother said he'd treat us to something delicious."
After a quick face wash, we sat at the table and started eating while chatting with Mom. Most of the dishes were Heena's favorites.
It's always like this when Heena stays over. Everything revolves around her, no matter what we do.
"I'll debone the fish for you."
"Thanks, but eat yours first. You like this, don't you?"
"I'll eat when you do~"
"Fine then. I'll start deboning mine too. I won't eat until you do."
"You first!"
"No way~"
Before touching her own portion, Heena carefully removed the bones from the croaker and placed the meat on my spoon. Not to be outdone, I did the same for her.
We started a childish argument while piling thick pieces of fish onto each other's plates. This wasn't an everyday occurrence, but it happened often enough that Mom just ignored us and went to the living room.
"I absolutely won't eat before you do! Hmph!"
Finally, as if to say she wouldn't speak anymore, she pressed her lips tightly shut. She scooped up some rice and fish onto her spoon and held it up to my mouth.
To an outsider, this might look ridiculous, but I didn't want to lose. I couldn't force-feed Heena with her mouth clamped shut, though.
So I used my secret weapon.
"Mmm."
"......!!"
I held a piece of fish between my lips and leaned slightly towards Heena. Her eyes began to waver intensely. There was no way my kiss-loving girlfriend could resist this.
Sure enough, she slowly put down her spoon and moved her face closer. She bit the fish, my lips, and pushed it in with her tongue.
Even then, she was still trying to feed me first.
"Mmph!"
"Mmm!"
I didn't back down either, pushing the fish towards Heena with my tongue. Our tongues intertwined as if we were kissing, and the fish quickly fell apart.
"Phew... I won!"
"No way, you ate half of it!"
"Did not~"
We bickered again, our lips slightly oily and wet with each other's saliva. Thanks to this, breakfast took an exceptionally long time, but we had plenty of time since our meetup wasn't until after lunch.
After our 30-minute meal...
"Yeonho, Heena. Want to go for a drive with Dad today?"
"Ah... I'm sorry, Dad. We have plans with my brother today..."
"We'll go next time."
"I see......"
Dad, who had gotten up late, proposed an outing to us. We had to break the disappointing news. We'd planned to stay at our house until next weekend, so we should probably spend some time with Mom and Dad then.
Everyone just loves Heena so much.
---
Just like in my past life, Yoonjung had taken a liking to me from the moment we met in this life too. I later heard from my brother that she found me kind and that my uniquely warm smile really appealed to her.
I was already close with my brother, so I naturally treated his girlfriend kindly. Plus, Yoonjung was so friendly that it was impossible not to like her.
How could I not like someone who always bought me delicious food whenever we met?
"I've missed you both so much~! I really, really, really, really wanted to see you!"
"It's been a while, noona."
"I missed you so much too, unni~"
"Right, right?! Aww~ Heena, you're cute and pretty as always!"
A little after noon, we met up with my brother and his girlfriend at a nearby station. Yoonjung immediately hugged Heena, making a big fuss.
Yoonjung and my brother had been dating for over two years, but we didn't meet often, so she was still cautious about sending texts or making calls. That's probably why she was expressing her feelings so openly today after not seeing us for a while.
Yoonjung was hugging Heena with all her might, and Heena was happily accepting the hug. My brother Jeongwoo and I watched them fondly, and then...
"Enough already, let's eat first. I'm fucking starving."
Heeseong hyung yawned lazily and urged us on. All five of us were gathered here. He'd been staying out overnight a lot recently, so it was hard to catch him at home. I wonder how he knew we were meeting up today. He hadn't been around all week last week either.
Still, according to Heena, Heeseong hyung's partying style had become much more tame compared to before. In our past life, around this time, Heeseong hyung reportedly had a different girl by his side almost every day. I guess he was making the most of his good looks back then.
Now, he might be out gaming or traveling to other cities all the time, but at least he wasn't living such a wild lifestyle.
"Buy your own food. We're only treating these two."
"That's so unfair, seriously. What are we eating anyway?"
"Omakase."
"Damn, that's expensive. Even for lunch, it's at least 30,000 won..."
"80,000 won course."
"......"
Heeseong hyung's mouth snapped shut at Jeongwoo's blunt response. So did mine.
Wait, 80,000 won for lunch? Where the hell are we eating?
We'd originally planned to let them treat us to the meal and then cover the rest of the day's expenses ourselves. But with the meal price alone being this ridiculous, that plan was meaningless now.
"Why are we eating something so expensive? Let's just go to a lunch buffet or something."
"That's right. Let's just eat something reasonable and spend money on having fun instead. What's with this 80,000 won bullshit? I can't afford that!"
I tried to dissuade my brother with all my heart. But Jeongwoo ignored our protests and checked the time on his phone.
"I've already made the reservation. We need to go now."
"No... Ah, this is crazy! Heena!"
"What~?"
"He says he's made an 80,000 won per person reservation. What should we do?"
"What?" freēwēbnovel.com
Surprised by my words, Heena's eyes widened. She detached herself from Yoonjung and approached my brother.
"Jeongwoo oppa, let's eat something else. It's too expensive."
"......"
"Don't cover your ears! Really... Unni!"
"Aaaaah!! I don't care!! I've already made the reservation!! If you don't eat with us, I'm going to cry right here!!"
"What are you..."
Jeongwoo couldn't firmly refuse Heena, so he closed his eyes and covered his ears before she even reached him. Yoonjung just stubbornly insisted like a child throwing a tantrum.
Faced with two 22-year-old adults acting so stubbornly, even Heena seemed at a loss for words. This kind of behavior from Yoonjung must be new to Heena. I was used to it from my past life, but still.
In the end, we couldn't break their stubbornness. One refused to listen at all, and the other was throwing a tantrum like a child. There was nothing we could do. Heena and I sighed and followed the couple.
Along with Heeseong hyung, whose face had turned pale.
"...Wait, don't tell me you reserved a spot for me too? I don't have 80,000 won... Bro, right? Noona!"
---
And so we arrived at the Japanese restaurant.
Despite what he said earlier, Jeongwoo ended up paying for Heeseong hyung's share too. Thanks to that, Heeseong hyung was happily scarfing down sushi with a big grin on his face.
I have a peculiar palate where I quite like sushi but I'm not particularly fond of sashimi. To be honest, this place was pretty delicious. You could say it was worth the high price. Of course, if you asked me whether I'd pay 80,000 won to eat here again, I probably wouldn't.
Heena initially seemed to have mixed feelings of gratitude and guilt, but soon she returned to her usual self, busy taking care of me.
"The egg roll is delicious~ Isn't this the style you like?"
"It is tasty."
"Here, say ah~"
"Ah."
Heena bit half of the egg roll sushi and fed me the remaining half. I opened my mouth without complaint and ate it. Because Heena was a light eater, I had to eat with her like this occasionally for her to finish her meal.
"Yeonho, want some of noona's too? The egg sushi they serve at places like this is too sweet for me~"
"Thanks."
Yoonjung also gave me some of her portion, her face beaming with satisfaction. It was as if just watching us interact was enough to fill her up. She kept smiling as she watched us engage in this skinship.
Well, it's not like she was lying to take care of me, so I ate that well too. Noona might not realize, but really, I've known her for 8 years.
I knew that what she said was true.
Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thinking that since we were already here, it was better to savor the meal than to complain. And then there were...
Jeongwoo and Yoonjung, watching us with an almost burdensome level of fondness.
"This shit's fucking delicious."
And Heeseong hyung beside us, happily devouring his meal.
It was a shame that Sunhoo hyung wasn't here since we were all gathered, but that guy was always hard to catch outside of home anyway.
