What is it… .

I kept getting caught in the white paper bag in Min So-yeon’s hand.

Judging from the thickness, it’s clear what’s inside… .

Min So-yeon, who was the real party, went up to the room to change clothes casually.

So, returning to the living room alone, I thought about what Min So-yeon brought.

“Uh… .”

First off, it’s not a document.

No matter how foldable it could be, it was too thick to be called a roll of paper.

It won’t be cash either.

I’m not really savvy about her, but I don’t think she’ll ever be able to spend that much money.

If that’s the case, it means you’ve put something else in there… .

I saw it at first glance, but considering the size and thickness, maybe I brought something like a small box?

Is it a drug… .

… is not it?

That time when I was seriously thinking about whether to tie my hair up and ask Soyeon directly.

“… Let’s talk for a second.”

Min So-yeon, changing into comfortable clothes, appeared in the living room.

With a white paper bag in one hand.

As for what the hell she was going to say, her face was hardened, so I was a little nervous without realizing it.

I followed her instructions and moved to the kitchen table.

Sitting across from her, I quietly looked at the white envelope in her hand.

I guess that’s the key…

“… .”

I couldn’t take my mouth off of the heavy atmosphere that squeezed my breath.

At that time, looking at Min So-yeon’s eyes, I was aiming for the right time to speak.

She slowly raised her head and made eye contact.

His eyes filled with determination as if he had decided on something.

Then he held out the white envelope and opened his mouth slowly.

“… Take this.”

huh?

I did not know that it would be handed to me at first, so I was a little embarrassed.

“what’s this… ?”

Then she let out a short sigh.

“… money.”

“… How much money… .”

“Take this and quit your job.”

Go, suddenly… ?

If it was because of what I was struggling with, it was too sudden, but I couldn’t think of any other reason.

Embarrassed by the out-of-the-ordinary recommendation to retire, I carefully spoke out while watching Min So-yeon’s eyes.

“… So Yeon-ah. Do you know why all of a sudden? I don’t understand why they’re telling me to quit my job, and this money.”

But Min So-yeon did not return any reply.

He just looked at me with determined eyes and licked his lips as if he wanted to say something.

I waited quietly for her to speak.

If you look at how much money you have prepared, there must be an important reason.

Min So-yeon parted her lips little by little, as if answering my wait.

gradually,

gradually,

As Min So-yeon’s lips parted, her brightly shining eyes slowly shook.

That moment,

“… … .”

“… So, Soyeon?”

Tears flowed from Min So-yeon’s eyes.

uh huh?

I was startled by Min So-yeon’s sudden tears, and I hurriedly moved to her side and approached her.

“Soyeon-ah, why all of a sudden… . What’s going on? yes?”

I gently laid my hands on her to comfort her, and she cried more and more sadly each time she stroked her back.

“Ugh… .ャ, heh heh… .”

“Soyeon-ah, why are you so sad? .”

“You, you… , you… . Whoa… .”

… me?

I wondered what I was doing wrong, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember what I made a mistake.

In the end, I couldn’t find the cause, so I pulled her hair slightly, thinking that I should calm down first.

She comes with no strength and is cradled in her arms.

“… Whoa, whoa… . Whoops… .”

After burying her face in my chest, she shed tears sadly as she grabbed her collar with her slender hands, and I patted her in her arms and waited for her to calm down.

“… .”

how long has it been

sniff-

Suddenly she stopped crying and sniffled, carefully raising her head and looking up at me.

Eyes still crying and the tip of the nose dyed red.

Suddenly, the image of my childhood overlapped.

Even when I was young, I always wanted to hug like this, but I ended up like this.

The moment I swept her bangs to forget the complex emotions that filled her heart,

She leaned her head on me and spoke cautiously.

“… This, now… . Don’t do weird things for money… . I’ll give you… . I, I have a lot of money… ! So… . just… . stay by my side… .”

At the child’s desperate words, I was shocked as if I had been hit in the head with a hammer.

ah… .

This is my fault.

It was obviously my fault for not taking care of Soyeon and not taking care of the child.

She is already seriously hurt.

He was a child who had been abandoned by his parents and had a big scar that he couldn’t erase even if he wanted to, but the protector threw him out and went outside, so how anxious would he have been?

I think things have gotten a little better, I think it’s too easy.

Soyeon needs attention and love.

No matter how much she says she can’t help it, the situation is different for her and Soyeon.

It is a mistake to compare a mature adult with a child who is now entering puberty.

After confirming that his wife’s condition had improved, it was right to focus on Soyeon.

this idiot… . I can’t even recognize my daughter’s condition… .

At that time, at a loss for words, suffering from guilt and hugging Soyeon tightly.

She shook her head and said.

“… This, now… . because of me… . this… , More than… . uh… .”

“Uh, ooh, don’t cry… ! It’s okay, it’s okay to talk slowly… .”

She closed her eyes tightly as if trying to hold back her tears, desperately blocking her tears, and carefully continued her story.

“… now… . strange thing… . I can’t… .”

… huh?

As I quietly patted Min So-yeon, for a moment, her words made me feel uncomfortable.

Since before, something is strange about the pin.

It’s not hard, it’s strange… ?

It was a strangely offensive word, as if there was a thorn stuck in his throat.

Is there a reason why I said it was not a difficult task, but rather a strange task?

Sensing something subtle, I took a sneak peek to check it out.

“… So Yeon-ah. I don’t do anything weird. however… .”

That moment,

“… again?”

She shoved me in her arms and shouted.

“… Uh, how long did you think you could fool me? I know all I know! Yes, you just… with Auntie… . membrane… . See… .”

I was shocked again by Min So-yeon’s strong words, unable to overcome my anger.

… my, i… . with my aunt… . what?

“Oh no, Soyeon-ah! Oh must!”

“… no what do you know I heard it all. How hard is it to earn 500,000 won a day? !”

oh.

Unexpected evidence emerged.

I was afraid that if I sang too little, I would be suspicious again, so I sang it moderately loudly, but it seems that I picked up strange information from somewhere.

“… That’s all wrong information. big money is right But, I didn’t do what you thought I would.”

Although she has a close relationship with her employer, it is not as impure as Soyeon thinks.

No, can there be a cleaner and more dignified relationship than this?

We are a couple!!!

But I can’t reveal my relationship with Joo Hee-hee.

I resented the cruel fate and gently comforted Min So-yeon.

“Madame… It is also true that I receive a large amount of money.”

Yeonhee… , sorry…

“But I have nothing to do with that woman! Just because I work hard at home and, ah, like a son, I got a little bit too much. Really!”

After I vomited, Min So-yeon’s eyes softened slightly.

“… really?”

“Well then! What am I going to do to deceive you… .”

“… Then, stop working.”

“Yes?”

While I was embarrassed by the conversation that led to my retirement before riding, she glanced at me and said:

“You, me, is she important?”

Oh my gosh.

Is it a mother-in-law? How do you even speak the same way?

I never dreamed that I would hear this question from Soyeon.

To Soyeon, she is an unknown woman, but to me, she is a wife and daughter like a rabbit.

Both are terribly valuable, how can they have an upper hand?

At that moment, Min So-yeon glared at me fiercely and growled low.

“… why can’t i choose After all, you like rich women, right? Just with that woman… , sincere… . See… .”

He looked angry at me after he said it, and wept again.

“Uh, no! It’s not like that, Soyeon-ah. Of course, our Soyeon is the most precious! Why would I choose her… . ”

“… So, are you going to quit your job?”

oh… .

A situation where you can’t take it out.

I had to make a decision.

… This… , I can’t help it… .

Anyway, my wife’s condition has improved a lot, and since I’ve come all the way to Seoul, I have a lot of time to meet even on weekdays.

My wife will be a little sad, but it’s for Soyeon, so she’ll understand.

“… Yes, I will.”

“… really?”

“You said it before. You are my first.”

Then Min So-yeon dyed her face red and nodded her head slightly.

“Instead, I will work until this weekend.”

“… What?”

“We even signed a contract, and there is such a thing as trust, but you can’t suddenly quit your job.”

Min So-yeon’s expression turned cold in an instant, and she looked at me with her mouth shut.

It means you don’t like it.

… How could I even resemble my mother like this?

As I was contemplating a suitable excuse, I carefully spoke to the fact that suddenly came to mind.

“… Actually, I guess that wife made a name for herself in her old days. So I did it to get some points. Because I don’t have anything… .”

It’s not a lie, it’s just a blow, because she’s a woman who was once called the ‘strongest’.

When I glanced at Min So-yeon’s reaction while making excuses, she was still looking at me with a cold face.

“… than my mother? Is that woman stronger than ‘The Swordsman’?”

No, why is your mother out there… !

“uh… , that’s not… .”

“… Then stop right now.”

“… I’ll just quit working until this weekend.”

I didn’t know that he would suddenly bring my wife out, but anyway, I can’t quit right away.

After wrestling several times, in the end, Soyeon took a step back.

“… Is it real?”

“really.”

“… If you lie again, I will kill you.”

Is it because of the mood? In Cute Blackmail a while ago, Jooyeon’s childhood really overlapped.

Jooyeon’s childhood.

She was a little more ferocious and harsh than Min So-yeon now.

Compared to my wife of the same age, Soyeon is on the gentle side.

Is this half my personality mixed in?

In the middle of soothing Min So-yeon and thinking of her past wife.

I suddenly had a thought.

Soyeon’s recent behavior is very similar to that of his wife,

The thought that my wife, who was not honest and clumsy in expression, and the current Soyeon look so alike… .

oh no

However, the moment I realized that my wife and Soyeon looked so alike, the terrible doubts that had been pushed beneath me came to mind.

… Isn’t it?

I was staring at Min So-yeon with an open mind, so Min So-yeon spoke to me in a chirping tone.

“… Why do you look like that?”

“No, just… . Because it’s pretty.”

Then she blushed and shook her head.

Oh no… ?
