thud-

Occupying the innermost compartment of the bathroom, I took a deep breath and carefully answered the phone.

“… Hey, do you?”

[…] You seem very busy?]

There was a strange thorn in her voice over the phone.

I think I’m a little dissatisfied that I answered the phone late.

“sorry. Being with Soyeon.”

[…] two people?]

I made a mistake.

I stopped forgetting that I was telling my wife that I was coming to play with Soyeon.

“… I should have told you earlier, sorry. Do you know Pia Tower? Soyeon came to commemorate the end of the exam… . It would have been nice to have come with you, but it’s really unfortunate.”

He is in Gangwon-do saying he is recuperating, but how sad would it be to find out that his daughter and husband came to play.

It’s my fault for not taking care of her.

But since all this is for Soyeon, my wife will understand.

“While I came to play, Soyeon also bought a dress. I have a picture I took, can you send it to me now?”

[…] Send it.]

With my wife’s permission, I quickly sent a picture and added a word.

“Who’s daughter, she was really pretty. Did you know I saw you when you were young?”

After a while, my wife whispered to me as if she had checked the picture.

[…] You chose it.]

“yes. Are you pretty?”

After a while, as if looking at the picture again, my wife replied, ‘You’re pretty.’ .

Is it my delusion? For some reason, it felt as if his wife’s voice was trembling slightly.

“Anyway, I’m going to go to the zoo and then go home. Sorry for talking so late. I’ll go there tomorrow… .”

[Then, you can come this evening.]

I secretly tried to postpone it until tomorrow, but my wife hit the player.

“… today?”

[I’m not going to stay overnight, is it okay if I come today?]

“Yeah, that’s right, but… .”

To be honest, I’m tired.

No matter how much I say my body has gotten younger, do I have to take a test in the morning, play until the evening, and then go to Gangwon-do right away?

But it took my heart to say no because I was tired outright.

When I was hesitating because I couldn’t answer.

[…] Suddenly, I miss my husband… . Shall we go?]

My wife has been cowardly threatening me.

“… It’s Yeonhee. what else… .”

[sister.]

“… please don’t say that … sister.”

Then the wife, no… . Yeon-hee noona said with a faint smile.

[I’ll send you tea today at 9 o’clock. Please wait.]

“uh? kite… . Whoa, sister!!”

Surprised by the one-sided notice, I called her eagerly, but the phone was already cut off.

“… ha… .”

I thought as I stared blankly at the phone that was cut off indifferently.

They threaten me with my life, what should I do?

I have to follow her words.

*

“Two students.”

Zoo tickets were pretty cheap compared to the configuration.

So is it? Even though it was a weekday, there were a lot of people.

To the extent that I think I might miss out on the party.

No, have all the people of Seoul gathered here?

It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t watch it.

It is basically a zoo, but there are a lot of monsters, so we are quite large and spacious.

There is also a small staircase for viewing, so the audience turns quickly.

I opened the pamphlet I received at the entrance and spoke to Min So-yeon.

“Soyeon-ah. Where shall we go?”

“… I don’t know.”

“… that, yes… .”

This is annoying… .

Min So-yeon’s tension dropped sharply after she had left to talk to her wife earlier.

I said it because I was stabbed, but I also explained what was going on.

I got an urgent call from where I was working part-time, but I had an important appointment, so it was delayed.

Strictly speaking, it’s not a lie.

I just didn’t reveal everything.

As for me, I want to make it clear from the inside out, but… .

If you do it wrong, you may lose Min So-yeon’s trust.

We have worked hard to get here, but the risk is too great to destroy the trust we have built up.

Even after explaining everything like that, Min So-yeon is consistently silent and short-answered, giving off a bad feeling.

It must mean that you noticed that I was hiding something, or that you were dissatisfied with my actions.

In a situation where the cause is not clear, it is dangerous to move hastily.

But it’s inconvenient to leave it like this, so I have to find a way… .

… huh?

At that time, a family passing by caught our attention.

Sweet cotton candy in child’s hand and ice cream in parent’s hand.

… Okay, let’s eat sweets first.

If you treat it gently, won’t you know the reason someday?

It was a bit of a complacency, but it would be better than sitting still like this.

“Soyeon-ah. I want to buy some ice cream. Shall we go over there?”

“… Then.”

uh… .

As if it didn’t matter, the indifferent answer almost broke my heart, but I can’t back down like this.

So I was leading Min So-yeon to the food court.

Maybe it’s because the lion’s cage and the tiger’s cage face each other, so I thought that I might really miss Min So-yeon because there were so many people.

I can’t.

I immediately grabbed the hand of Min So-yeon, who was standing next to me, and spoke to her.

“Hold it tight.”

Then, Min So-yeon looked at me in amazement, and then grabbed her hand tightly and nodded her head.

She and I, holding hands like that, digging through the crowd, marched forward,

“after… . I will live for a while.”

After a while, I finally reached a level where I could only walk comfortably.

“You can let it go now, Soyeon-ah. … Soyeon?”

“… uh?”

“It’s okay to let go.”

Min So-yeon showed a somewhat regretful reaction and gently let go of her hand.

After walking a little further, we finally arrived at the snack booth.

I quickly skimmed through the menu, and immediately threw my luck at Min So-yeon.

“… Soyeon-ah, would you like some ice cream?”

“… I don’t want to eat much.”

I know that, and there is a menu that I looked at beforehand.

“Then let’s buy one and share.”

“… What?”

I left behind Min So-yeon, who was bewildered, and went to the cash register and ordered the menu I had checked in advance.

“A large strawberry parfait, please.”

Then, Min So-yeon, who followed me, always grabbed me and said.

“No, I’m not going to eat?”

“I do it because I want to eat it.”

While Min So-yeon and Min So-yeon were arguing about why they would order a big one if they were going to eat alone, the parfait was completed in no time.

It came out in a plastic cup about the size of a Venti, and all kinds of ingredients were piled up layer by layer, boasting an irresistible visual.

“Wow, big… . Oh, two spoons… .”

The moment she took the parfait while exhaling admiration for the majesty of the parfait, Min Soyeon suddenly interrupted and shouted.

“You only need one!”

In the end, we left the booth with only one large spoon.

If this is the case, you should share it as one… .

It doesn’t seem like she even considered that.

… I can’t help it, I can’t help but share it as one.

We were looking for a place to sit like that, and just in time, we settled on an empty bench.

“Would you mind listening for a second?”

After I handed her the parfait, I quickly pulled out my phone… .

“… What are you doing?”

She glared at me and spoke to me.

“… Just to take one picture.”

Of course, to show my wife.

But there are other reasons.

“I came here to play, but it would be a waste if I didn’t leave a picture.”

The ‘I’ in my life wasn’t the kind of person who liked photography.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like it, was it that I didn’t feel the need to take a picture?

But now it is different.

“All that is left is the picture. But if you really don’t want to take pictures, I won’t.”

No matter how much you want to take a picture, you can’t force it.

If Soyeon doesn’t really want to take a picture, she doesn’t want to force it.

“… ha… .”

Min So-yeon, who was biting her lip and staring at me, took a deep breath and spoke to me.

“… Then, take a picture.”

I smiled at her and thanked her.

We put the parfait in between and took a picture face to face… .

“… Is the camera broken? My face is weird.”

In particular, a picture of Min So-yeon’s face was taken as if it were a reminder.

I glanced at her face, and it was reddish as if excited.

“… I will correct it.”

I swung my cell phone in with the words that I was going to correct it, took a spoon and spoke to her.

“Which would you like to have, chocolate or cookies?”

“… I’m not going to eat it.”

“Then chocolate.”

“You don’t eat?”

I naturally listened to her words, scooped chocolate and ice cream and shoved it towards her, then stared at me and shot at me.

“I don’t like it.”

I’m stubborn today.

Ignoring her sharp eyes, I tapped her cute lips with ice cream.

“It touched your lips, so you have to eat.”

There is no coercion or such coercion, but if you don’t do this, she will never eat.

Min So-yeon licked the ice cream on her lips, and unintentionally glanced at the parfait in the spoon.

Apparently it tasted good.

With a happy smile on my face, I held the spoon at her again.

“Come on, ah~”

“… annoying.”

Eventually, she grabbed the spoon and sucked it in.

Strawberry and vanilla ice cream are added to the chocolate topping, so you can’t help but taste it.

“… .”

Even as she stares at me, she chews hard.

It was so cute that the corners of his lips twitched.

“Is it delicious? Shall I eat it too? .”

The moment I opened the parfait to taste it, Min So-yeon’s eyes widened and looked at me.

… Why are you doing this?

He looked like he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t speak because there was food in his mouth.

I glanced at her like that, put the spoon in her mouth, and she swallowed the food just in time and shouted at me.

“Hey, you crazy bastard! What if I put it in my mouth!!”

No, there is only one.

“You can’t eat with your hands. So I asked for two… .”

Min So-yeon looked embarrassed as she realized her mistake at the time.

“How are you? ruler.”

I casually scooped the parfait and handed it over, and her eyes trembled.

“… He, I’ll just eat… ?”

“yes.”

Even though they became strangers, they are like family, so wouldn’t that be okay?

Min So-yeon was also thinking the same thing, so she swallowed her saliva and carefully opened her mouth.

Then, he took the spoon and sucked it in, gently covering the corner of his mouth.

“… No, it tastes good.”

Fortunately, I feel a bit relieved.

After sharing a parfait while comforting Min So-yeon, it was only then that I was able to see the zoo properly.

There were more visitors to the monsters than any other animals… .

“… Let’s go over there.”

Among them, there was one monster that caught Min So-yeon’s attention.

[ Unicorn ]

A new monster who just came in.

It was a unicorn.

“Unicorn?”

“… From what I saw earlier, they said they could give me food too.”

“okay? Shall I try… ?”

In response to the implied question, she nodded her head and expressed her desire to try it.

Is this okay?

In fact, I was surprised to see that there were unicorns, but I had no intention of participating in the feeding event.

Because I’ve already seen a unicorn inside the gate.

At the time, my wife and I were walking around the gate alone, and as soon as he saw us, he vomited blood and ran away urgently.

He said he got the blood of a unicorn thanks to him and he liked it… .

Now that you’re in Yoo Ji-hwan’s body, are you okay?

After I hesitated for a moment, Min So-yeon looked at me and said.

“… no?”

“Oh, no? is it really good? Let’s go. … Will you give me food?”

“… Isn’t that obvious?”

In the end, there was no choice but to move towards the unicorn.

and… .

“Here, two outlines of feeding unicorns. Even if the unicorn refuses, there is no refund.”

… Fifty thousand won for one unicorn prey?

It’s only one raw carrot.

No matter how rare the monster, isn’t it too much to eat?

“Oppa, shall we buy one of those too?”

“Yes? Hey, all of that is a gimmick.”

“why? Is your brother not confident? Am I confident?”

The irony is that the couple looking for this ridiculous tactic is one truck.

Let’s test the purity of fifty thousand won at a time… .

It is clear that the world is going crazy.

“… did you buy it?”

“Yes… .”

Of course, our Soyeon can do that.

After sharing a carrot with Min So-yeon, we approached the unicorn cage.

“I will check the carrot of faith. … Yes, you can pass by.”

After passing through the unicorn cage using carrots as a ticket.

“… That’s a lot.”

I could see a lot of people standing in front of the unicorn.

There were also children accompanied by parents, mostly young couples.

“Soyeon-ah. There is a unicorn over there.”

“… I have real horns… .”

Seeing her curious as she opened her eyes like a child, I thought that 100,000 won was not worth it.

[Yes, you can feed it.]

Then, along with the words of the guide who stood in front of the unicorn, a couple started handing out carrots.

hee hee hee hee~

“… You do it first.”

At the woman’s words, the man cautiously began handing out carrots.

The unicorn pulled out its snout, sniffed the carrot, and immediately began to bite and chew.

It means passing through purity.

“Oh oh… .”

“It’s fresh.”

The other couples who were waiting with us also smiled happily at the man in front of us.

By the way… .

right! right!

As soon as the woman puts out the carrot, doesn’t the unicorn reject it by smashing her teeth?

“… you, you… !”

“Oh no! Trust me! I’ve never done it before… Ugh!”

“Hey… !”

At that moment, people’s sighs poured out.

“It’s pitiful… .”

“Is that the NTR or something?”

[Yes, please do the rest outside! Next guest!]

Following the guide’s words, the men and women left, and continued on to the next couple.

Among them, both were rejected, and there was a couple who confirmed that both sides were at fault, and there was a couple who both passed and showed love and applause.

Not to mention the young children who came out of curiosity.

So, the turn went quickly, and it was our turn.

“Now, you can feed me right away!”

At the guide’s words, Min So-yeon jumped out and handed the unicorn a carrot.

Pu hee hee hee!

The unicorn ate the carrot satisfactorily, howling as if bursting into laughter.

As it was a natural result, there was no excitement at all.

But if Soyeon was rejected here… , maybe my heart is broken.

Min So-yeon saw the unicorn chewing carrots, and looked at me with a confident expression.

… huh?

I couldn’t understand her heart, so I just smiled accordingly.

So Min So-yeon’s ‘Prosecutor’ is over.

“Yes, the next man.”

Finally my turn came.

After swallowing my saliva, I walked towards the unicorn.

The appearance of a pure white horse, with straight horns. Eyes that crave innocence, rolling back and forth.

It’s the same as what I’ve seen before.

purr…

Actually I’m not sure

In her lifetime, Soyeon had planned to make a little sister, so she is practically a natural enemy for unicorns.

With a history of collecting unicorn blood a lot, is it really okay?

… please… .

I carefully put my hand in and handed the carrot, and the unicorn began to behave strangely.

purr… ?

Aren’t you tilting your head and putting your nose to my carrot, then taking it off and repeating?

… This guy is suspicious right now.

Judging from not eating right away, it seems that the ‘love’ of my wife is imprinted on my soul and cannot be erased.

But in other words, Yoo Ji-hwan’s body is clean.

“Not good… .”

I pushed the carrot more to the unicorn as if to appease the puppy, and the unicorn hesitated for a while before bringing its snout.

… That’s right!

The unicorn, who hesitated until the end, sticks out its teeth like a child who eats something he hates to eat and bites the end of a carrot.

That moment.

People waiting in the back clapped their hands and congratulated us.

I threw the remaining carrots inside the cage and pulled out my hand, and Min So-yeon, who was standing next to me, looked at me with a satisfied expression.

… huh?

Applause around, and Min So-yeon’s reaction.

There was an unknown feeling of incongruity, but before I could even notice what the cause was, the guide’s shouting was dropped.

“Yeah, next guest!!”

… what?

On our way out with Min So-yeon with such a subtle feeling.

Puhihih!!! Fuhihih… !!! pooh… … .

thud-

The sound of something falling was heard from inside the unicorn cage.

… oh no

“… What do you mean?”

“Oh, it will be nothing. Let’s go and have dinner.”

I wrapped my arms around Min So-yeon’s shoulder, who was about to turn around, and hurriedly left us.
