episode_0044

Survival has begun.

Everyone went into the dense forest, perhaps because their location would be exposed if they went towards the valley.

“Jaehoon, should we go together or split up?”

“Let’s go together for now, and then when you find Dad, we’ll split up and go to Dagori, right?”

“Oh good! Then when Jaehoon finds his dad, we split up and attack each other?”

“Yes, I think that would be best.”

As I followed behind my father, who was leading the way, keeping a little distance, the sight of his back made me feel like I had seen many movies.

I don’t know if it’s a war movie or a spy movie, but the way they move is by lowering their heads and hiding behind trees…

If you move like that, it seems like everything will be visible from the other side. I don’t know why.

I guess you’re enjoying survival that much.

Suddenly, Sa-ah’s father hid behind a tree and waved his hand down as if telling me to sit on the floor.

Then he spread his thumb and pointed to the left and then to the right.

What do you want me to do…?

I have no idea if I want to go left or right, or if there is an opposing team on my left or right.

As I was sitting and thinking, I heard a voice speaking softly.

“Jaehoon, Jaehoon’s dad is behind the tree over there. Which way do you want to go?”

“I’ll go to the right.”

Then he waved his right hand back and forth, and I understood that.

I guess you want to move?

As I slowly hid behind the tree and made a big turn, I began to see my father, who was crouching down and looking around, wearing only pants, just as Sae-ah’s father had said.

My father hasn’t even found me yet and I’m ready to shoot, so when my father-in-law shoots, I just have to get closer and hit him from behind.

Because I’m waiting quietly.

Sae-ah, your father won’t shoot at all. What’s going on?

I wonder if he’s thinking the same thing as me. I feel like I’ll get caught if I get any closer.

I was planning to use Sae-ah’s father as bait to follow him. But Sae-ah’s older sister is nowhere to be seen, so it seems like they have a plan there too.

While I was waiting, looking at my dad’s back, I saw that dad also crawling with a duck’s gait, wondering where he had seen something.

If I took a picture of something like this and showed it to my mom, she would really like it.

We hid in the grass and waited quietly. As if the patience of Sae-ah’s father had run out, bullets started flying at Dad.

If I were to shoot my dad from the street now, I could probably hit him, but it wouldn’t hurt that much, so I had to get closer.

While my father was shooting, I slowly approached him, took a look behind him, and started shooting him in the back.

-Tang tang tang

“Oh my god, where are you?”

I crouched on the floor and raised my head slightly to shoot the gun, so it seemed like my father couldn’t see me.

It’s so much fun to see my dad get shot in the face and feel the sting.

I wanted to keep shooting like this, but Dad realized he was surrounded from the front and back and started to run away.

I kept shooting at my dad who was running away, and he disappeared from sight.

I got up and started walking, thinking of turning around and hitting the side or back again.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a gunshot from next to me, and when I looked right next to me, I saw a bullet flying towards me.

It stung so badly that it hit my bare arm. I think I know why Dad was struggling.

I hid my body, determined to shoot more, and when I looked at the direction the bullet had come from, it was not my father, but my sister Sae-ah.

No matter what, my conscience pricks me to just shoot bullets at my older sister.

I have to get out of here and follow my dad.

He aimed his sister’s side as a warning shot, fired two bullets, then got up and started running in the direction his father had run away from.

The sound of BB gunfire coming from the front.

As I ran with the intention of following behind like before, I saw my father’s back facing the opposite direction and shooting a gun.

He sat down in the grass like before and started shooting.

“Ah, where are you again?”

If someone saw my expression right now, it would probably be the happiest expression in the world.

Ah! This is it. It feels like the memory of the water torture earlier is fading away. It feels really good.

This time, my father started to move closer to me, hiding his body, as if he was planning to fight instead of running away.

This time, my dad shot at me, making sure his location was right.

As I leaned my back against the tree and hid my body, my eyes met with Sae-ah’s sister’s, who was laughing silently right in front of me.

Wow. I got goosebumps all over my body.

Sae-ah, the older sister, shoots a gun at me from 5 meters away as soon as our eyes meet.

It stings so much that it pierces my body without missing a single step.

“Hahaha. Got you. You bastard!”

Then, Dad started shooting randomly from behind.

As I was surrounded and had no choice but to run away, bullets kept flying from behind me.

Where on earth was Father Saea? He kept hiding in a tree to avoid the bullets flying towards him.

As I was catching my breath, caressing my burning skin behind a tree, I heard the sound of gunfire again, as if my father had gone to war too.

I turned around and ran with the intention of shooting from behind again, and this time I saw Sae-ah hiding behind a tree and shooting.

Originally, I was planning on letting my older sister go, but since the bullet I got earlier hurt too much, I decided to take revenge.

He started shooting at his sister’s butt.

When I shot her in the butt, she flinched and ran away, but I kept shooting at her butt, and it was really cute how she flinched…

I lightly slapped him on the cheek to come to my senses and moved forward to find my father.

As if he knew that his older sister was behind him, he shot again at his father, who was shooting defenselessly. He followed his father, who was jumping up and down in pain, and continued to shoot.

“Time! Time! I’m out of bullets!”

In a war, who would wait for the enemy to run out of bullets?

I shot my dad until I ran out of bullets and the survival ended with my dad and I both out of bullets.

“Sae-ah Daddy! Sae-ah! Let’s go~”

Sae-ah’s father and sister slowly walk over when Dad shouts.

“Jaehoon, did you shoot my butt?”

“Originally, I was going to let my older sister see it, but she shot first.”

“But why do you only shoot the butt like a pervert?”

“The butt originally hurt the least.”

I really did my best to shoot her butt without hurting her, but it seems like Sae-ah is misunderstanding something.

“Haha this is so funny!”

Following the father who was smiling happily even after being shot like that

“Jaehoon, Dad, should we do this again later? Haha”

Even the new father, who is looking forward to the next time he wants to do it again.

After finishing the survival game to everyone’s satisfaction, we slowly walked back to where we were.

When we returned to the valley, we saw the mothers and Ye-eun lying down and resting.

“Okay! You shouldn’t get caught in the gun, so take off your safety glasses and give me the gun.”

Sae-ah’s father, who is really thinking of doing it again, is preparing a gun and safety glasses.

After confirming that everyone was healthy, Mom asked Sae-ah’s mother for her opinion.

“Sae-ah’s mom. How should we get to the pension soon?”

“Really? Jaehoon’s dad! Husband! Are you going to play in the water more?”

The fathers also shook their heads as if they were having a hard time and started packing their bags.

We packed up the luggage we had brought with us and returned to the pension.

Luckily, there were two bathrooms, so everyone except the mothers quickly washed up and gathered in the living room.

“Anyone who wants to just rest until dinner can rest and relax?”

Everyone nodded at Sae-ah’s mother’s words, and I headed to my room to take a nap.

***

I woke up from a nap in my room and went out to the living room to see all the girls gathered there except for Ye-eun.

“Did you sleep well, son?”

“Yeah, I slept well. What about Ye-eun?”

“I’m sleeping in my room.”

“Jaehoon, is it okay that you came to play?”

“Yes, it was fun.”

“If you hit my daughter’s butt, you should take responsibility, right?”

“…..”

“Just kidding. You only shot the butt to hit it, it didn’t hurt?”

“Haha. Yes.”

“Oh my, the kid’s father said that he shoots the enemy and that he shot his own daughter too, but Jaehoon is better than Saeah’s father.”

“Haha. Yes.”

It seems that Sae-ah’s father shot without any consideration for the circumstances.

My heart was shocked when I heard the words, “Take responsibility,” and I felt like it had sunk when I heard my father’s curse.

As time passed, everyone began to gather and prepare for dinner.

When I went outside, I saw that the charcoal grill was ready and Sae-ah’s father was lighting it with a torch.

“Jaehoon. When grilling meat outdoors, charcoal is the most important thing, right?”

“Yes.”

“This is called a fire starter and is used to light the fire in the beginning. Put this on the bottom and then add the charcoal.”

“Yes.”

“The igniter catches fire, right? Then the charcoal catches fire too.”

“Yes.”

“The charcoal is black, right? It has to be completely burnt white. If you put meat on the black charcoal, the meat will turn black and the meat fat will catch fire, right?”

“Yes.”

“So, turn the charcoal over so that it turns white evenly, and when the charcoal turns white and the fire gets weaker, then put the grill on and grill the meat. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“Then from next time on, Jaehoon will do it?”

“…..”

I wondered why he was explaining it so enthusiastically, but it had such a deep meaning. I couldn’t have imagined it.

Now I feel so much like my real dad that I’m speechless.

Just then, my dad appeared holding some dishes as he was moving them next to me.

“Dad!”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Dad, do you know how to prepare charcoal for the grill?”

“No? I don’t know? Why?”

“Learn from your father-in-law! What if the head of the household doesn’t know that? If your father-in-law did it this time, your father should do it next time!”

“Okay? Okay, I guess so.”

“Haha. I only heard that Jaehoon is smart, but he really is smart.”

“I can’t do it without my dad.”

“Right. If Jaehoon doesn’t know, he should learn. Come to work.”

After moving away from the place where I almost did filial piety, I finally finished preparing to eat by moving the vegetables that my mother and Sae-ah’s mother had prepared outside the pension.

I bought so much meat that I had an abundance of food, from pork to beef and sausage.

Dad and Sae-ah’s father started grilling the meat, and the rest of us sat back and waited. I wondered if the beef was all cooked.

The meat began to arrive at the outdoor tables.

As I was about to eat after seeing my mother and my sister-in-law eating, my sister-in-law’s ssam appeared next to me.

“Okay, okay!”

“Suddenly? Why?”

“My mom tells me to do this.”

“…..”

We all came to play together and it was quiet for a while, but I don’t know why it’s like this again.
