Sooyoung helped Taehyung make up his mind, and Seolhwa quickly returned the news. The date of the blind date was set in the afternoon two days later, at Park Seolhwa’s house.
“It seems that the secretary of Jeon was really interested in you.”
The village secretaries, several groups in a village, have a lot of big and small things. They go to the commune for a meeting every day. But the first time they heard about it, they quickly set the date for the blind date. Needless to say, this attitude has shown the attention of the other party.
In the kitchen, Sooyoung rubbed the dough happily, while speaking to her son Taehyung, who was boiling a pot.
“Mom, things have not even begun to take shape yet, why are you talking about this?”
Taehyung’s face was red under the fire of the stove, he didn’t know if it was from the fire or from Sooyoung’s shameful words.
In fact, Taehyung was confused. He really didn’t have any experience on blind dates before crossing. He felt that this behavior was like putting himself on the shelf for people to visit and choose at will. His sisters around him who had dated said that ‘blind dates were unreliable and that they didn’t meet their true love but instead, met a bunch of weirdos’. Because of this, Taehyung became and made up his mind that he won’t do it.
For him, having a mutual understanding of each other was better than the external condition of a person. WIll finding a man with a house, a car, a good job, and a good family will make him happy? Then, why is it that the marriage rate of young people getting lower and the divorce rate getting higher? The external conditions may be suitable, but when you start to genuinely interact with them, you will find the gap between you two was as deep as the Great Canyon of Han river, and both of you, were not compatible at all.
After dressing as Taehyung, he made two small mischief appearances. Each time he didn’t need to be abnormal, Sooyoung seemed to have been humiliated, but the situation was different this time. Sooyoung obviously had real power and was very satisfied with Secretary Jeon. Taehyung didn’t know what to do at once.
Two days later, the Park family had dinner. Sooyoung asked several daughters-in-law to clean up the pots and bowls. She changed her clothes and went out with Taehyung.
“Mom, what are you doing at noon?”
Jieun watched her mother in law went out with her sister-in-law. She stretched out her neck from the kitchen. Jieun was very curious. She liked to find out the bottom of everything and couldn’t hide a secret. That’s why Sooyoung didn’t tell her second daughter-in-law about the blind date.
Everyone was happy that the marriage between her son and Secretary Jeon had the possibility of succeeding. In case it does not work out, it won’t be embarrassing if you don’t make a big deal out of it. This would also prevent people from talking about it in private, saying that her son was a toad that wants to eat swan meat.
The other two sisters-in-law were too busy to take Jieun’s words. People with clear eyes don’t understand it? Taehyung cleaned up before going out. He was wearing the white shirt only worn when visiting the relatives. He was with his mother. His hair was also cleaned. The muddy shoes on his feet had been replaced with clean ones.
What was the reason for their serious behavior? It’s not Taehyung’s wedding, but mom didn’t confide a word at home this time and quietly took Taehyung away. Things are really unusual.
The eldest brother and the third family looked at each other, and they could see some interesting looks from each other’s eyes. Only Jieun didn’t use her head, but her mouth was very diligent.
......................... ...
The sun at the end of July was very hot. As soon as he went out, Taehyung felt that he was going to be sunburned. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with his long black straight hair braided behind his head. He was wearing a bamboo straw hat. Under the sun, the brim of the hat cast a mottled shadow on his face.
These days, young omega in rural areas are popular Lily’s hairstyle and double-horned twist braid. Lily hairstyle was too mature, double-horned twist braid was too childish. Every time he sees any little girl in the village wearing broken flower clothes and two braids, he is reminded of the famous song “Little Lily”.
“There is a omega in the village called Little Lily, good-looking and kind, a pair of beautiful big eyes, braids thick and long ……”
What’s even more amazing is that there are really many omega boy/girls named “Little Lily” in the village.
The white shirt worn by Taehyung was made by his family with the cloth they bought. Thanks to Taehyung’s skills for sewing and mending clothes, he replaced two cloth tickets with others. He has paid with his own money to buy the cloth and made one for his family.
The white clothes look good, but they get dirty easily, so they are usually worn only when they go out to visit relatives.
Before going out, Taehyung was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt. Sooyoung asked him to go back to the house and change it. Taehyung looked at himself. There was no problem. As for whether he looked good or not, it was the people who were wearing clothes, not the clothes. However, in order to not let Sooyoung continue talking, Taehyung changed into the white one.
Sooyoung turned her head and looked at her son. She was happy and sad too. She was happy that his face looked young, as if he were only 18 years old, just like when he was still an young maiden[1]. Sooyoung was sad that her son had suffered a lot in recent years. If it weren’t for the stubble of the Lee family, what kind of man wouldn’t be worthy of her omega son? She didn’t need to worry about gain and loss with Secretary Jeon.
Park Hyungsik’s family and Jeon Jungkook have arrived. Seolhwa asked him to drink tea in the main room, and Hyungsik was the host and guest.
“Jungkook, you sit and rest first, Aunt Sooyoung and Taehyung should be here later.”
Jungkook picked up the cup of tea and drank a sip of water, hiding the smile that played at the corners of his mouth.
It is reasonable to say that he has long passed the age when a brat can’t sleep at night and scratch his ears when he sees an omega he likes, but since he has made a decision in his mind, he does think of Taehyung from time to time.
He admired his dignity and beauty, his thorough understanding and knowledge of things, and his teaching and concern for his juniors, a feeling of admiration mixed with appreciation that he had never felt before.
If Taehyung was like a quietly fragrant lotus flower, his ex-wife Wang Mina was a fiery red.
“Here they come.”
Jungkook’s thoughts were drifting away when Seolhwa’s voice pulled his attention back. Following the direction of Seolhwa’s finger, Jungkook saw the omega who had been on his mind for a few days.
“Auntie, Taehyung, I’m looking forward to you two.”
Park Hyungsik’s family planted a lot of bamboos around the courtyard. Bamboos liked to be wet and are planted by the river. When they come all the way along the river embankment, they seem to blow a natural air conditioner, which reduces Taehyung’s restlessness.
A few people stood under the eaves to welcome them, Taehyung bowed his head a little less than kindly, Jungkook’s eyes had long been subtly fixed and circling around him, and when people came closer, he was steady, as a proper gentleman, did not look at Taehyung, and focused his attention on Sooyoung.
[A/n: I can already smell blooming flowers from here! Jeon, are you still in your sense or not?]
“Hello aunt, I’m Jeon Jungkook.”
Jungkook was tall and upright, with a righteous face, his eyes were steadfast and sincere when he looks at people, and his face with a smile, that was a little strange, mixed with a sense of solidity and stability, making people have a sense of intimacy. Sooyoung’s first impression of him was very good!
“Oh, well, this is Secretary Jeon, right?”
Jungkook face bloomed with a smile, he slightly held Sooyoung’s arm to bring her into the house. He said implicitly and humbly, “Why am I secretary Jeon? Aunt, you can just call me little Jeon or Jungkook.”
In a few words, Sooyoung had been coaxed by Jungkook to smile. Taehyung only stood aside and watched, admiring this Jeon secretary from the bottom of his heart.
“Today, our family is busy. Everyone should sit and talk. Drink some barley tea to quench your thirst. Come, Taehyung, don’t stand alone. Come and sit here with your sister-in-law.”
According to the position arranged by Seolhwa, Taehyung and Jungkook were sitting in front of each other, and Seolhwa brought a cup of barley tea for Taehyung to drink.
“Auntie, you really didn’t tell me that Taehyung looks so gentle, and when he drinks water, he was a little more delicate than others.”
Seolhwa suddenly praised Taehyung. Taehyung almost choked when he drank the water. He coughed twice with a red face. When he felt Jungkook’s eyes stopped on him, Taehyung’s ears turned red.
Taehyung had taken off his straw hat when he entered the house. A small white face, dark hair and thick eyebrows, with a smile in his almond eyes, When he smiles under the crouching cicada, it added a gentle flavor.
Seolhwa was really surprised. Taehyung was really getting better and better. Not to mention how different he was from when he came back a few months ago, but when he was a child, Taehyung was really a pretty omega, but it didn’t look like this. No wonder Jungkook took a fancy to him at a first glance.
It can only be said that “the phase was born from the heart”[2]. Taehyung’s appearance was getting closer and closer to his own appearance. Because his changes were accumulated day by day, the Park family couldn’t see any difference. Only those who haven’t seen him for a long time can spot the difference, like Park Seolhwa.
