“Is it okay to win over a kid? Is it fun? Then your life will change, right?”

When I looked at it as if it meant paying for the night, the grandfather cleared his throat.

“Hmm. There seems to be a misunderstanding. We simply sparred after a meal.”

I was at the cafe with Yumina just recently. It was also to listen to Do Yoo-geon talk about his plan to live together. Then, honestly, I was curious about his reaction, so I tried eavesdropping. That’s because I’m really curious. But suddenly, I heard the chief secretary’s voice. If Yumina hadn’t grabbed him and told him to calm down, he would have come flying right away. Well, once I calmed down, it helped.

“What kind of misunderstanding is this? The chief secretary told me through KakaoTalk that we had a sincere fight over all the items.”

“haha…….”

The grandfather muttered in a low voice, “What kind of loyalist is a loyalist?” I think he’s probably insulting the chief of staff who isn’t here.

“It wasn’t the truth, it was just a taste. Director Lim expressed it a bit wrong.”

Grandpa said shamelessly. When he glared at me in the silence, I slightly averted my gaze.

“It was really just sparring. This old man didn’t even want to do that sparring. At first, we just walked, but in the end, he told us to do it, so we forced ourselves to do it.”

It was an expression of injustice.

“That’s none of my business. As a result, the kid got upset. He didn’t answer the phone.”

I picked up my phone and showed the call log. I called dozens of times, but for some reason I never got an answer. I’ve never had anything like this before.

At this point, I walked again, and as expected, there was only a signal. It seems like it was muted or something. No, this person could be calling about something very important, so how can I mute it? Isn’t that too much?

“Aren’t you betting too much?”

“What’s so much about this….”

When I tried to say no, it seemed like it was true, so I stopped mid-sentence. 22 cases. Well, it’s a bit much. This was my first time doing something like this, so I was so embarrassed that I overexerted myself.

Still, he is somewhat responsible for this. I should think about the people who care about me and answer their phone calls, but what should I do if they don’t answer without saying anything? At least send me a KakaoTalk message. There is no courtesy in human relationships.

Actually, I’m not overly worried. I couldn’t see Do Yoo-geon’s face because we missed each other, but since the chief secretary was taking me home, there wasn’t really a big problem. I’m nervous because I don’t know what he’s thinking right now. Objectively, it is correct to say that there is nothing special.

I put my phone away.

“Anyway, you didn’t insult anyone, right?”

“That’s not true. Rather, he gave me good life advice.”

“Isn’t advice just old-fashioned advice that you don’t want to hear?”

The grandfather smiled softly as if he had heard a funny story and placed his mouth on the teacup. Seeing as they can’t even refute it and are trying to ignore it calmly, it seems like it’s an old-fashioned statement.

“You didn’t say anything really strange, did you?”

“Could it be that this grandfather would interfere with his granddaughter’s love life without any plan?”

“It’s not a relationship, it’s a friendship. As long as grandpa doesn’t do anything stupid, we will continue to be friends in the future.”

“Whether it’s between friends or lovers, leadership is important in relationships. That’s why this old man took the initiative on his behalf. It’s pointless, so I’m sad.”

“Well, it’s pointless.”

I feel bad when the initiative is taken away, but I feel good when I’m with him. You’re in a situation where you’re being dragged in the first place. You didn’t have any initiative from the beginning, so now what? My future adult self may think differently, but that was a separate issue since she would be a workaholic.

“I’m worried because feelings that are understood can easily be exploited. How about keeping some distance from that child at this point?”

“Are you asking me to stay away?”

Did you make an appointment to live together today? The timing is so odd that my grandfather doesn’t seem to want to see them living together.

“That’s right. To view emotions objectively, you need distance.”

“That’s not necessary. I know I’m a little weird, but it’s no big deal.”

I feel like I’ve crossed the line a bit these days, but it’s not a problem since I haven’t been caught. I can’t continue like this, so I need to do some self-reflection, but there’s no need to tell my grandfather about that. This advice is clearly an invasion of territory.

“It’s also for her sake. I’m not sure if I saw it correctly since I’m not good at swordsmanship, but it seems true that she has a natural talent. That’s why I need the experience of using my own strength. Break my wings and Unless it’s something you want to do.”

“……Of course it’s not like that.”

I have no intention of becoming an obstacle to Do Yoo-geon’s future. It’s really common sense and of course I don’t intend to do that. It’s true. Rather, I want to help and am willing to provide any amount of financial support.

But you yourself refuse it. It’s almost rude for them to take the first step and help when they refuse. Still, if necessary, I need to help when I see him, and I am doing that, but wouldn’t it be too much of an intervention to keep my distance when he didn’t ask for it?

Why do you need distance in the first place? Self-development tends to be proportional to personal space and time, but is it really necessary anymore? Alone time can be a time to create your own system, but this is only when the basic capacity to create a system exists. That’s not true. I still need someone by my side to help me. First of all, I am stubborn, but this is objective reality.

Of course, these thoughts are not without selfishness. Naturally, humans do not act based on rational judgment alone, but naturally act based on emotions. This is the same since we are also human. So, if you ask me if I’m acting according to my feelings, that’s not true. If you only think about yourself, that’s a very bad view of this area.

I have a feeling that I want you to depend on me. In the past, it felt funny when he tried to do something on his own that required help from me, but it’s true that I’ve been feeling nervous lately. If you really solve things one by one and become independent, you can easily leave at any time. That’s very troublesome.

His relationship with Do Yoo-geon remains uneasy. Almost always, he’s the one who makes or calls the appointment, and this person just gets dragged around, and if something goes wrong, he’s the one who cleans things up, but that wasn’t the reason. If this is a relationship that only causes losses, that is not the case. To be honest, it’s very strange, but it’s the one that sticks. What can I say, a passive dependency relationship? Is it possible to define it that way?

When do you think you usually leave the house? There are times when my parents ask me to move out, but it’s not frequent because my dad has his own life and my mom has her own. It used to happen frequently when I was younger, but I think the frequency has decreased because I just prefer to stay at home.

So, if you go out of the house, usually he gets involved. Almost all external activities are like this. The same goes for many aspects of our internal activities. He occupies too much of my life schedule and emotional spectrum. If it disappears, it seems like everyday life will collapse and chaos will come. It will only be a moment, and you will eventually find peace, but taking the risk is just scary.

But the problem is that the way to keep him in this relationship is subtle. Money doesn’t work. The money is so good that he refuses it. He lacks a sense of reality. As for appealing to affection, well, it’s okay. All I hear is that it’s over when you lose your temper. I think it would have been nice if his personality was more snobbish. So you were planning on getting it done a long time ago? I just left it alone because I liked what Yumina looked like.

In the end, this relationship is one he created unilaterally, so he has no choice.

If you think about it for a moment, haven’t you really gone too far these days? I don’t know the person involved, but I don’t think they’ll only hear good things if they get caught. No, you didn’t catch this in the first place, right? You know everything, but aren’t you just ignoring it? I often do strange things with the mindset of whether I notice or not, so I have no idea how much he notices and tolerates. uh… … . I think it would be best to refrain from this for the time being.

“Now that I think about it, I think we need some distance for each other.”

I picked up the glass of milk and drank it. From what I heard from my mom, it’s not coffee, it’s milk. Mom is also worried for no reason. It’s true that I’m short, but I’m not really short. It’s still in its growth stage, so it’s expected to grow a lot in the near future. It’s really a pointless worry. I can’t believe it will continue to be small. I felt warm, sweet milk passing down my esophagus. Good. Milk mixed with honey is surprisingly delicious.

“But that doesn’t mean we can cancel our already promised cohabitation. I think it would be okay to work separately for a little bit.”

There are concerns about safety, but if you follow behind, there will be no major problems.

“What? Living together?!”

The grandfather was startled and jumped up. The table shook for a moment from the impact. However, they are not surprised that they plan to continue living together, but are just reacting as if it is their first time hearing that they are planning to live together. Of course, I thought I heard it from my parents.

“I did not know?”

“That won’t work!”

The grandfather took out his cell phone and started making a call. What he mutters like that sounds like cursing his father. I don’t know how to react when my granddaughter curses at my dad in front of him. It’s annoying, should I just go home? Good. I have to go home.

I gulped down the milk and walked out the front door.

“Wait a minute, Sky! We can’t live together…!”

A somewhat desperate cry came from behind me.

Nice to know.

There may be times when I spend less time with Do Yoo-geon for the time being, so I think it would be a good idea to find a replacement to fill the empty time. Umm.

How about raising an animal?

cat? puppy?

First of all, except for the white cat.

I’ll have to think about it a bit.
