《LOVENEMIES [END]》59 - Bae Sooji yang Patuh
Advertisement
Saat Bae Sooji bangun keesokan paginya, ayahnya sudah di rumah. Dia sedang memasak mie di dapur. Mie gandum tipis direbus dengan kaldu tomat yang dihiasi dengan bawang cincang sementara dua telur mendesis di wajan. Aroma yang menggiurkan memenuhi udara, sangat membangkitkan selera siapa pun yang menciumnya di pagi hari.
Sooji bersandar di pintu dapur dan menelan air liurnya.
Kepala Sekolah Bae terkejut saat dia menoleh dengan santai dan melihat putrinya. "Kenapa kau memiliki kumis?"
Sooji menepuk kepalanya. "Aku lupa mencucinya."
Sooji lalu tertegun. Bagaimana dia tidur di kamarnya tadi malam? Sooji berusaha mengingat tapi satu-satunya kesan yang diingatnya adalah dirinya yang berbaring di sofa sambil menonton televisi. Dia juga ingat Myungsoo terlihat seperti orang gila karena menyukai hobi orang tua dan telah mencuri remote control-nya.
Kemudian, dia sepertinya tertidur setelah itu.
Adapun bagaimana cara dirinya pindah dari sofa ke tempat tidur...
Sooji segera merasakan pipinya menjadi sedikit hangat. Dia mengangkat tangan dan menggosok lehernya.
Sooji berbalik untuk mandi. Kepala Sekolah Bae mengisi panci dengan lebih banyak air panas dan mengambil mie tambahan untuk ditambahkan ke dalam panci. Dia bertanya,"Berapa banyak yang ingin kau makan?"
Sooji bahkan tidak menoleh saat dia menjawab dengan percaya diri,"Aku akan makan sebanyak yang ayah masak."
Saat dia keluar dari kamar mandi, mie yang sudah dimasak sudah disajikan di atas meja. Duo ayah-anak itu duduk untuk sarapan. Sooji bertanya pada ayahnya,"Dimana ibu?"
"Dia baru saja tertidur setelah sibuk sepanjang malam. Ayah akan memasak untuk ibumu lagi saat dia bangun."
Sooji sedikit kesal. "Selalu keluar merawat bunga ibu pertiwi dan mengabaikan bunga yang ada di rumah."
Kepala Sekolah Bae geli. "Kau memiliki pendapat yang cukup tinggi tentang dirimu sendiri." Dia tiba-tiba memikirkan sesuatu dan bertanya pada Sooji,"Ayah baru saja mengisi kulkas dan mendapati kulkas hampir kosong pagi ini. Katakan, apa kau menjual barang-barang di dalam kulkas karena kau kekurangan uang?"

Sooji hampir tersedak saat memakan mie nya. Setelah batuk selama beberapa waktu, dia menatap ayahnya dengan kesal. "Apa aku seseorang dengan karakter yang mengerikan? Aku hanya mengundang beberapa teman sekolah untuk memakan hot pot."
"Deskripsi yang sederhana. Apa kau yakin tidak mengundang gajah untuk makan hot pot?"
Alasan mengapa Kepala Sekolah Bae tidak percaya padanya adalah karena dapur dan ruang tamu terlalu bersih. Dia tidak mungkin tahu bahwa ini adalah karena upaya tekun dan teliti Kim Myungsoo dan Kim Jongin dalam membersihkan. Mereka bahkan membuang sampah sebelum pulang.
"Jadi, begitulah pendapat ayah tentangku." Sooji sangat terluka. "Baiklah, karena aku tahu ayah tidak menginginkanku lagi, aku akan pergi menemui kakek dan nenekku sebentar."
Kepala Sekolah Bae tahu bahwa putrinya akan menceritakan keburukannya pada kakek dan neneknya. Dia melambaikan sumpitnya. "Baiklah. Makan makananmu. Jangan berkeliaran dan menyebabkan masalah bagi ayah selama Tahun Baru."
"Tapi uang sakuku sedang menipis sekarang. Bagaimana kalau ayah meminjamkanku uang saku terlebih dahulu? Aku akan mengembalikannya pada ayah ketika aku mendapatkan uang paket merahku. Aku akan memberi ayah bunga."
"Kau pasti di sini untuk menagih hutang dari kehidupan ayah di masa lalu."
Setelah mengganggu ayahnya di pagi hari, dia berhasil mendapatkan uang saku.
Pada siang hari, dia melakukan beberapa latihan fisik di lingkungannya dan bermain sepatu roda sebentar. Meskipun sepatu roda adalah metode latihan pengganti, masih ada perbedaan antara tanah padat dan es. Penting baginya untuk mempertahankan keakrabannya dengan permukaan es.
Sooji menyentuh dua tagihan menyedihkan di sakunya, bingung dimana dia bisa pergi bermain sepatu es. Kemudian, Myungsoo mengirim pesan padanya secara tak terduga.
Dia mengiriminya tautan ke taman hiburan. Taman hiburan itu baru dibangun di kota mereka dan tempat itu memiliki kincir angin besar yang tampak memukau. Di dasar kincir raksasa ada gelanggang es terbuka.
Ini adalah tempat yang cukup bagus yang menarik dan ramai. Tergoda, Sooji menggulir ke bawah untuk harga tiket dan penglihatannya langsung menjadi gelap.
Taman hiburan? Ini lebih mirip sarang bandit! Ini adalah perampokan di siang hari!
Saat memesan makanan hari ini, aku beruntung dan berhasil memenangkan dua tiket masuk di malam hari.
Katakan, kau ingin aku melakukan apa sebelum kau membawaku bersenang-senang.
Panggil aku dengan sesuatu yang menyenangkan.
Ayah!

Nobody's Way
Foreign Thorn: Book 1 For eight centuries, the people of Isla have wanted for nothing. The Creator, Maere, uses Her power not only to keep them healthy and fed, but also to map the direction of each person's future Path - their vocation, role in society, and even the partner they'll spend their life with. In a world where infighting once threatened the very survival of humankind, the old texts say that Maere personally stepped in to help guide Her creations to harmony. All is not well among the people of the northern lands, however, as Jian discovers when she receives her own long-awaited Path. The Creator has chosen to favour some towns, but not others, leading to anarchy and unrest in the east, and fierce distrust between the neighbours who enjoy Her protection and those who don't. After many nights of disturbing premonitions, visions of a face uncannily familiar to her, and a voice beckoning her to "Homeland," Jian decides she needs to find answers for herself. She hires Madrigal, a surly young traveller hailing from an "unblessed" village, to take her to the southern lands. The swordsman is on the run from something, or someone, but Jian has no choice but to trust him. When the two leave the safety of the familiar and meet Quinn, a mysterious boy who seems to know more about Jian than she does about herself, it becomes clear that there are forces besides the old magics, forces completely unknown to the people of Isla, in play. Madrigal and Jian aren't sure if Quinn can be trusted, but they're certain he knows more than he's letting on...

Fortunately for him, whatever Dark Lord he was supposed to duel didn't seem to get the memo and the world seems to be at peace. So it's probably nothing, right? This is the story of Wesley's adventuring party as they do their best to get him to fulfull his destiny.

Grimoire: Retake
"Reality is different than a story or a game." That's what my best friend used to say to the otaku me all the times and I myself knew full well that it's true. Well, that was until now... Why you ask? Let me ask you instead, what if you woke up one day, remembered your past life, then found out you are a harem member of a RPG game? The harem MC is childhood friend A and the main rival is my brother B. Hah! And that's just the beginning! You are mistaken if you think that's all. How about an amazing finishing touch of having found out later that reality does not follow the original storyline but might actually be the improved sequel version of the RPG? Hahaha, God, I'm laughing tears of despair....
