<Can’t Even Drink Cold Water>

“You were trying to talk nicely but uncle tried to use violence twice, I was really alarmed, did you know?”

“Uh… mm, you were?”

It was true Bak Sungtae attacked twice, but. It couldn’t be that she didn’t see me hit her uncle’s head against the door frame.

“Don’t do this from now on. It makes me too anxious to watch.”

Yerim complained. I mean[1], was there anything to be anxious over in that situation? Wasn’t it one-sided? Was there something wrong with her eyes?

“……Anyways, the situation is handled so go pack your things and come back.”

“Yes~.”

Yerim passed me and went through the entrance. During that time, Bak Sungtae had gotten his wife’s help and was standing up. When she saw him, the corners of Yerim’s eyes wrinkled a little.

“You too, uncle, be a little more careful. Slipping on your feet.”

At the nonchalant voice, the faces of Bak Sungtae and his wife became dazed. Following suit, I was also a little shocked. I did make that kind of excuse, but…

“You, you! Didn’t you just see!”

At Bak Sungtae’s wronged shout, Yerim shrugged her shoulders.

“I’m saying so because I saw. Or, are you trying to slander my[2] ahjussi?”

“What? Slander?!”

“Yerim, you, what way of speaking is that!”

“Why, aunt[3]? You saw it too. Uncle fell on his own and hit his head.”

“How could you say something like that! Look at the blood from your uncle’s head! Just then that man-.”

“Aunt.”

The even colder voice continued on.

“It was that uncle slipped.”

“N-no…”

“You keep on lying. Not understanding after being told this much.”

Yerim took out a fancy long umbrella from the umbrella stand. Bak Sungtae and his wife flinched reflexively.

“A while ago, I said that I needed a strong umbrella like Soochun did. Do you remember? Last year when there was a typhoon, the plastic umbrella you gave me turned inside out and was broken. But you said you couldn’t give me another umbrella, that it was my responsibility for breaking it, so during the entire rainy season I went around covered with a big plastic bag I picked up.”

…Something like that happened? Wasn’t that abuse?

“I don’t really care about that anymore. There were a lot of other things too, but I decided to let it go. There was no point in caring. It was too trivial.”

The pale and smooth two hands tilted the umbrella horizontally.

“Please remember that. That it’s because it’s trivial. So stay like that, trivially. If you don’t, and pick a fight with my ahjussi over things that I alone let slide.”

Too-dook

The umbrella was folded in half. That much, a strong adult man could do. But then, that already folded in half was,
