“……!”

Um…what is it?

“…Bah…!”

I’m tired.

I can’t come to my senses.

As the tension is released, the entire body loses strength.

It should be resolved by sleeping, but it is not.

It definitely seems like I fell asleep and woke up.

And I think someone woke me up.

It needs to happen, but it doesn’t.

“Dad!!!”

Pinch.

“Evil!”

I ended up screaming.

When I woke up, I saw Mina looking at me with worried eyes.

“Dad! Why are you sleeping here??? I was worried so I came out!!”

“Uh…I was looking at a patient…”

“Where do you say the patient is?”

I turned my eyes to the bed.

There was bedding neatly arranged there.

It was as if no one was there.

A heart rate monitor and an IV bottle were also arranged on one side.

“Dad! Be honest! Where did you go yesterday?”

“Uh…?”

“Didn’t you go to a bar with a girl and drink and then sleep here?”

My daughter started smelling every inch of my body.

As if trying to detect the smell of a bar girl’s cheap perfume.

“It’s strange…it should be me…”

My daughter acted as if she suspected me.

It’s not just a joke, it’s real.

For a moment, my ex-wife appeared overlapping with my daughter.

I felt really bad.

“Minaya. Didn’t you do it too much?”

“Uh…?”

Minah was taken aback by my earnest voice.

“I barely saved a dying patient on the street and fell asleep. I don’t know where it went, but it’s true.”

Minah’s nervous eyes slightly return to the bed.

Only then did blood stains appear here and there in her eyes.

These are not old blood stains, but were taken just a few hours ago.

“Do you not trust your father that much? Do you really want me to hang out at a bar where my dad hangs out with women?”

“Ah…no…that’s not it…I…”

“I am your dad. He’s a father with a daughter. With what kind of face would a person like that go to a place like that? I don’t want to be that shameless person!”

“Uh…dad…ah…”

Minah’s doubtful face gradually darkens.

Because she saw my appearance accurately.

Crumpled suit.

There is blood everywhere.

The smell of sweat and blood are mixed.

It’s definitely not something I’ve been playing around with.

Dad really saved someone’s life.

Minah’s face changed when she realized this.

Above all, a strong sense of discomfort.

It was something I never showed to my daughter.

But now I’ve done something like that for the first time.

In fact, it had no choice but to be so.

please…

Really…

Because he said something to me in a similar way to his ex-wife.

“Mi…I’m sorry, Dad…I didn’t even know that…”

Minah, who was angry at me for the first time in her life, didn’t know what to do.

His eyes were rolling mercilessly and his body was moving around.

Mina was more anxious than expected.

‘I didn’t want this kind of reaction…’

But I couldn’t let go of my anger here.

This is because my anger has not yet fully subsided.

Everything else can be tolerated.

But I can’t stand anything to do with my ex-wife.

Every resemblance to my ex-wife causes me tremendous mental stress.

Mina was not that kind of child.

My daughter hated her as much as I hated my ex-wife, so she never copied her behavior.

But this time, for the first time, I imitated her actions.

He was suspicious and pushed me.

I didn’t do that.

Even though I was innocent, they treated me like a useless piece of trash.

I am Minah’s father.

He is the person who raised her.

It is not polite to pinch a sleeping person to wake them up after working hard to keep them alive.

Minah has changed.

It’s only been a few months.

Is it late puberty?

Or maybe it’s because I met strange people in college?

Even if I tolerate everything else, I will never… forgive myself for behaving like my ex-wife.

No matter how pitiful you look, I can’t forgive you right now.

“Go in first. Dad will rest here for a while and then go straight to work.”

“Dad…I’m sorry…”

I stopped my daughter from running towards me with both hands on her shoulders.

“Uh…?…What are you doing?”

“I’m not in the mood right now, Dad.”

I glared at my daughter.

“How long do I have to act like a fool?”

“Uh….ah……”

“My daughter is an adult now. Aren’t you always a child?”

“……”

Mina’s lower lip is bitten.

“Well, now that you are an adult like your dad, please understand him. Dad, it’s really hard. It’s so hard that it breaks my heart.”

I gently grab her shoulder as she was just pushing me.

“My daughter…she wasn’t like that in the first place. You were very understanding, right?”

“……”

“So, like back then… could you please understand Dad? Please.”

Kuuk.

Blood begins to flow from her lips.

I bit my lip so hard that it burst.

But there was no separate reaction.

I can’t tolerate my daughter’s foolish behavior forever.

And now my daughter…is an adult.

It’s time to leave me.

For a moment, I thought that perhaps it would be better for my daughter if she left me, who was as devastated as I was.

‘My daughter is beautiful and smart…she will meet a good man and live well.’

In order to do that… it occurred to me that I needed to be a little more ruthless from now on.

“I have to leave now to go to class. Dad will take a break here and go back to work right away.”

I told him to leave now.

I wanted to speak a little more strongly.

widely.

Mina shook off my hand that was holding her shoulder and quickly left the hospital room without saying a word.

The feeling of suffocation disappeared.

“Ha……”

I sat down on the folding chair again.

For a moment, I felt uneasy in a corner of my heart.

The unknown pressure and discomfort I felt when I was with Minah disappeared as soon as she was gone.

That’s exactly what made me sigh.

I began to feel something that I had not felt in Mina.

My face darkened little by little.

The same terrible feeling I felt when I was with my ex-wife began to come from Minah.

“No way…I guess not…”

Minah is my ex-wife’s child.

Not a single drop of blood… he is literally like my ex-wife’s alter ego.

It never felt similar before.

But I’m feeling that way more and more these days.

Ever since Arin’s death.

“Ha……”

I sigh again.

Probably not.

Probably not.

I repeat those words over and over again.

****

Minah quickly comes down the stairs.

‘I hate you.’

I hated my dad.

‘I hate you! I hate you!! I hate you!!! I hate you!! I hate you!! I hate you!! I hate you!! I hate you!!’

Mina felt unfair.

I was simply worried about my dad coming home late.

Mina couldn’t sleep.

Of course my dad called, but I was still worried.

‘I’m sure he’s not with another woman, is he?’

In Minah’s mind, her father was already her man.

No, I thought it was my husband.

As a wife, it was natural for her to be dissatisfied with her husband staying out.

That too for a ridiculous reason.

‘Dad’s hospital doesn’t have night care.’

But suddenly a patient came?

You want me to believe that?

But Minah is my favorite person.

I have no choice but to trust you.

So he had no choice but to accept his father’s words.

Just get what you can.

‘Where can I get a kiss?’

I waited for my dad while imagining something thrilling.

Overnight.

Without sleeping even a wink.

But her father didn’t come all night.

Mina started to get worried.

‘What are you doing? I thought you would come in at dawn.’

I stayed up all night like that.

Worry began to turn into anger.

‘He wasn’t this kind of father…’

My doubts grew and my anger grew stronger.

For someone who never did that before, it became even bigger.

‘It won’t work. ‘I’ll have to go find it.’

Suspicious that he might not be in the hospital.

So I had to check it for myself.

Although she was tired after staying up all night, Minah put on full makeup.

Like not wearing makeup.

It was something I had to show to my loved ones, so of course I did.

Fortunately, my dad was in the hospital.

It wasn’t a lie.

But there was no one in the hospital room.

Suspicion arose again.

That’s why I ended up pinching and urging my dad.

Minah herself was quite surprised because she had never done that before.

However, as much as I was worried, I decided that this was okay.

And that judgment was a huge misjudgment.

To her father, Eunhyuk, it was a huge provocation.

It was the same behavior as the ex-wife he hated the most.

Minah did not realize that her actions were the same as those of her mother.

So, he didn’t know why his father was so angry right now.

I was so sad because I didn’t know.

‘I wanted to tell my dad.’

Minah smoothed her stomach.

‘I was pregnant with my father’s child…’

Tears welled up.

‘But I ruined it. ‘I made my dad mad.’

I couldn’t see ahead.

I ran down the stairs wearing high heels.

With that said, I lost my footing and fell down the stairs.

Uddangtangtang.

But Minah didn’t scream.

This is because the shock of my father’s anger was stronger than the pain of my body.

‘What should I do…what should I…do…’

Minah fell down the stairs and began to cry bitterly.

Conceiving my father’s child.

In the current situation, I can’t talk to my dad.

That he made his father feel bad.

That’s because those complicated things made Minah’s head hurt.
