38 Second Hun (1/2)
”Whoa.”
The world changed as they moved through the twist. Sunsook looked around and opened the window. Cold, fresh air filled the truck, waking them up. It was refreshing.
'Maybe the air itself is different.'
Joonbum speculated that air had some differences, otherwise it wouldn't be this different.
”Joonbum! Mother!”
Doral ran toward them on sight. The women who were working also waved their hands.
”Doral, unload!”
”Ugh, not again?!”
Doral sighed at the sight of the five trailers connected to the truck, but he did not refuse to do it. He sighed and pulled up his sleeves.
”Doral, I'm sorry. I'll prepare a delicious lunch for you later.”
”Haha, don't you worry about me.”
Doral grinned at Sunsook. Some of the Ainos women also came to them, beaming at the fully-packed trailers.
”Joonbum, welcome!”
”Joonbum, welcome back!”
”Nice to meet you!”
”Hello.”
The women smiled at Joonbum and walked up to his mother. They seemed to be excited to see the trailers full of stuff. Joonbum shifted his gaze toward Mayze, whom he found to be so charming despite her face full of speckles. She looked like some actress Joonbum had seen in a movie.
”Beautiful.”
”Huh? Beautiful? What is?” Doral asked, puzzled at Joonbum's words. He turned around to see what Joonbum was gazing at.
”Oh, yeah. The sunrise sure is beautiful.”
Joonbum came back to his senses at Doral's words.
”Oh- um, yeah. The sunrise is beautiful.”
'That was close.'
Joonbum blushed while Doral grew curious at sight of the unusual item on the trailer.
”Joonbum, what is this?”
”A rifle!”
”Oh, the weapon you used?”
”Yes, but stronger. Doral, you want to try it?”
”No!”
”Yeah, I might have… what?”
Joonbum gawked Doral, surprised. He was about to take it out, not expecting to be refused.
”Your weapon is strong, but what if you cannot use it anymore? Your weapon needs ammo. What happens when we don't have any more ammo? We cannot make it here.”
Doral carefully explained his reasoning by adding gestures. Joonbum roughly understood what he was saying.
'That's true.'
Firearms were powerful weapons, but they came with flaws.
”Take one just in case. It will be a powerful tool to use during emergencies. I'll train you to use it to its full potential, but you don't need to use it if you don't want to.”
Joonbum offered his explanation while using all possible gestures. Doral nodded.
”Big sister, what is this? Ohhh.”
”What is it?”
”Wow, I didn't know this was possible…”
The women were surprised at the mixers, air fryers, and so forth. His mother beamed at their reactions.
”I'll teach you how to use it. Joonbum, let's move the food first.”
”Yeah.”
Joonbum and Doral moved all the food and started stacking them inside the cooler and the refrigerator. The women also started moving the kitchenware.
”Did you just see that?”
”Huh?”
”See what?”
Agelie and Vegit looked at their younger sister Hessrah as she spoke out. Mayze, the youngest, also looked at her when Hessrah turned to her.
”What?”
”Didn't you notice? Joonbum was looking at you as if he fell in love!”
Agelie and Vegit's eyes widened. Mayze seemed confused at first, but she soon blushed.
”No! No way!”
”Why not?”
