Part: LukNai
During the school break, I planned to go back and leave my life in my bedroom at home. The problem was the first week when Phi Sa said that we would go to a meeting at the beach, but it was a beach further away than the last time, to have a complete welcoming party.
I asked Phi Som if this whole class thing wasn't over yet. She said that the third-years were just looking for fun. At first, I was annoyed when I heard that.
But when I found out that P'Jeans was going too.
“Dad, sign the permit for me again. It’s a form requesting permission from my parents to go outside during the school break.”
[Where are you going this time?]
“The sea again,”
My voice was a little bored.
“But Phi Jeans is going too.”
The name that came after me made me feel almost a hundred percent more refreshed. My mouth smiled even though I knew my father wouldn’t see it.
[Do you want to go?]
"Yes"
[Up to you]
"Then I'll take it to you this evening."
[Okay]
Yes! I thought Dad would object because during the school break I told him in advance that I would be going back home. So he wanted me to go home soon because he missed me (or maybe he wanted to find someone to look after the house while he went golfing).
Another thing is that Dad knew about my relationship with Jeans. As I said, he was very happy about that he got more daughters-in-law than sons-in-law. The day my father saw P'Jean's face when I took him out to eat, the first thing he whispered in my ear was.
“How can she be prettier than my daughter?"
Well, I fell in love with you, Dad. Now, are you going to blame me for putting down your own daughter?
But that day went well, P’Jeans acted so nice in front of my father that even he couldn't tell that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Sigh...
“That's all for now, Dad.”
[Yes, dear.]
After hanging up the phone with my father, I slid my view up from the phone screen and saw the beautiful face of a woman sitting with her chin on her hand, staring at me on the other side of the narrow table. When I realized that I was being stared at like this, I felt embarrassed.
“Don’t you eat skewer? Are you full just looking at me?”
“I’m full,”
Phi Jeans replied, teasingly, not losing her old habit. The food that was served in front of her had not been touched for a minute, not even the knife and the fork.
“What do you mean? It looks like you don’t want to go to the beach.”
"It's boring. Actually, I'm bored with all the activities. It's because of you that I agreed to go."
The owner of the pretty face smiled and shrugged to please my thoughts. My hands picked up the fork and knife, preparing to eat the lunch on a holiday with only the two of us. I had the carbonara I ordered.
School was almost out, but that didn't mean my desire for late-night snacks would decrease. Today, P’Jeans happened to be free, so she drove me to buy some and store them.
