Chapter 8: Family (1)
When I finished er sister Hyunji was home She must have come back from school
“Brother, you lost a lot of weight”
“It’s because of all the hard studying I did”
“Yeah right, it’s probably due to eating all those noodles and rolled rice everyday at the convenience store you work at
“Cheh, you know me too well”
“But did brother do all the dishes and cleaning”
“Yeah”
“Why so suddenly?”
”Youto enter the work force I have no work for the moment so I can do this for you
Hyunji's eye's becaed from my words She looked at full of suspicion
”Who are you?”
”Your older brother”
”Lies, my older brother is not this kind!”
”Let me hit you once”
When I tried to give her a knuckle hit to her head Hyunji ran away laughing Arguing back and forth Hyunji spoke
”What should we have for dinner? Mom and older sister said they'll be late”
”Really? Do you want to order so?”
”Order? why order? Mom boiled some pork You said you wanted to have this? I'll prepare the table
It was my turn to look at Hyunji full of suspicion
”Who are you? My little sister is not someone ill so obediently prepare the dinner table like this!
Hyunji laughed out loud
”I have some conscience too you know You did all the dishes and cleaning I can at least prepare the dinner table”
”Really? It guess it doesn't mean just because you are in your 4th year of university you will suddenly start studying hard”
”I' hard to prepare to for employment you know?”
”I thought last tiht?”
From my criticism Hyunji stuck her lips out
”That was just for a change of uy and played around I just met some friends to dance”
”It big worry that you like playing too much”
”Shut up, Go wash up while I' up the table Your sweat stinks”
”Okay, okay”
While Hyunji was preparing the dinner table I showered and changed into fresh clothes
Boiled pork, kimchi, and brown rice and assorted side side dishes were deliciously laid out I was shocked there was also seaweed soup ( Koreans have this on their birthdays as tradition) It's no one's birthday but ht into it
”Let's eat already, it's getting cold”
”Okay”
We sat at the table and had our dinner watching TV peacefully
”Time has really passed hasn't it”
”What is?”
”In the past you and I tried all sorts of ways to pass on the household work off to each other”
”That is true In truth until yesterday I was thinking of off loading the household work to you But seeing as you did all the dishes and cleaning ot pricked
”Youall the household off to me haven't you?”
”Since you said that from now you will do all the household work, I'll do the cooking and laundry”
”Let's do that There isn't just one or two fe my laundry
”Getting scared froin?”
This little bitch?
”Mom's and older sisters are okay, but I'erie will be too frivolous?”
”What do you take me for!”
”Night club mania”
”Better than being unemployed”
”Hehehe, you graduate soon right?”
”S, so?”
