“… … Is this a hidden camera or something?”
My father said this, trying to straighten his stiff face.
But, we were left speechless again by the truth that there was not a single lie, let alone a hidden camera.
“Ah… um… so, that, there’s a child between my son and Areum… .”
Father’s finger points to Arami and Sarang in turn.
“And, and also, with your son… and love… you have a child now… ?”
He still had a look of disbelief on his face, but the frozen atmosphere in the living room continued for a little longer.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
They look out for each other.
No words are exchanged as they are both looking at each other.
And so everyone spent a long time holding their breath.
My father’s mouth, which had been tightly shut, opens again.
“… Shindaun, follow me.”
My father jumped up from his seat.
And he wiggles his finger at Arami and tells her to follow him.
“Oh, no! Me too… I’ll go with you too… .”
“Me too, me too!!”
I was the first to stand up and shout.
After that, Sarangi followed suit.
“… Okay. Down and—”
“No! It’s our problem, so I think it’s right to talk about it with us.”
“Sigh… .”
Father’s deep sigh fills the living room.
I swallowed nervously, and my palms quickly became clammy with sweat.
“Hoo… .”
My father’s sigh continues, and my heart feels like it’s going to burst from the tension.
When I think about it, I wonder what I did so well that I am bragging so loudly.
But… since this was our business anyway, I thought it was right for us to talk about it together.
“Well, first of all… If this is a joke, you all know you’re going to die. Got it?”
We nod our heads at our father’s warning.
“… Oh my, this really isn’t a joke.”
After my father finished speaking, he looked around.
It was a movement that seemed as if she was looking for something to throw, so I quickly went in front of Arami.
“Oh, no!!”
I don’t know if Arami’s large body will be completely covered by me, but for now, I will hug Arami.
“Ha, don’t do that!!”
And with the following shouts of Sarangi, Sarangi hugged me from behind.
“… What are you guys doing right now?”
A slightly bewildered reaction followed, but I spoke slowly and with a trembling voice.
“Da, don’t throw anything at Oppa Down… It’s all my fault, so you’d better throw it at me… .”
“Ha, haha… .”
My father laughs like a fool, but then gets angry like fire.
“These!!!”
“Ugh, eww!”
I was so surprised that I held Arami’s face in my arms without thinking.
And love also wraps its arms around my head and pulls me into its chest.
I knew something was going to fly.
I was also worried about the love behind me.
“… … How long are you going to do that?”
But nothing happened.
Just my father’s low voice was ringing in our ears.
“… Why are you guys overreacting? Why don’t you hurry up and sit down? ”
And then the mother, who had been quiet, intervened with the father.
Only then did we, one by one, return our bodies to their original state.
“Oh my… .”
My mother continued to sigh, but I sat closer to Arami than before.
Sarang came to my side, linking arms with me.
“… … I don’t know about other people, but Areum, are you okay?”
Not only the father, but also the mother looks at Sarang with surprised eyes.
“… Why.”
“No, right now… You, you and Down are getting married… Phew, more than that, you and Down have a child together, and I heard that Sarang has a child too, but… Are you okay?”
Given the circumstances, be very careful with your words.
“… … So what? We’re all fine. We’re fine as is.”
Sarang’s bold words fill the living room.
However, the one who trembled even more at Sarang’s words was A-reum herself.
“Beautiful… .”
I held onto that beautiful hand tightly.
And Arami also holds my hand.
“… I, haa… I don’t know what to say… but I can’t not have the baby… .”
“You, you little punk! Are you calling that a word!?”
At Arami’s words, her father immediately crumpled his face.
“Ah… No. Darling, I’m not mad at you right now, oh, don’t get me wrong. Do you know what I mean? ”
And then, after a moment of embarrassment, he suddenly shows me a kind face.
“… Yes.”
I shut my mouth with that answer.
It was clearly me who should be the one being criticized, but it seemed like the strict Arami was suffering because of me.
“First of all… I know what you mean. I get it, but… You’ve thought about it enough, right?”
Father slowly looked at Arami, Sarang, and me.
We nodded together and answered in a small way that we both agreed.
“Haaah… This is… .”
Father’s sighs grew deeper.
There was no progress in the conversation.
The mood becomes even more somber.
“… … Beauty, love.”
“… Yes.”
And then again, my father comes looking for me and Sarang.
“I know what you want to say. But this is something that requires a brief conversation between men. Is that okay?”
“… You’re not hitting me, are you?”
I was somewhat concerned.
It makes me feel even more uncomfortable because there was no reason for Arami to be treated like that.
“Heh, heh heh heh… Don’t hit me. I promise I won’t hit you.”
And only after receiving that promise from my father did I nod.
Sarang followed suit and answered, saying that he understood.
So, father and Arami left the place.
My mother, who had been sitting and continuing to touch her hands, found Sarang next to me.
“… Beautiful.”
“Yes.”
“Would you like to talk to Araumi for a moment?”
“Oh, yes.”
This time, Mom took Sarang to the kitchen.
“… … .”
And then I was suddenly left all alone.
“Sigh… .”
I just thought I had finally overcome the big mountain.
But that one mountain is not the end.
And this certainly won’t be the end.
Perhaps these high mountains will block our path for the rest of our lives.
And every time, you have to get over that mountain.
“Hoo… .”
I’m trying to decide again, even if it’s just by myself.
No matter how difficult it is, I decided to only think of Ara and Sarang who will be by my side… … .
.
.
.
And even though quite some time had passed, I was still alone in the living room.
Although there was no sound of anything flying, I couldn’t help but feel worried as the conversation time had already passed an hour.
I was thinking about going to Sarangie, but surprisingly, Arami came out first with her father.
“Ah… .”
His expression was a little dark.
First, I checked the face and body, but fortunately, there was no sign of being hit anywhere.
“Are you okay…?”
“… Yeah, it’s okay.”
And my father looks a little resentful as he watches me examine Arami.
“Love… I didn’t hit you, I didn’t hit you. I promised I wouldn’t hit you, right?”
“Oh, yes… .”
I don’t know what was discussed, but the atmosphere wasn’t that bad.
I definitely thought so.
“… That, father… .”
“Ah… Yeah.”
“You told me to go out and live?”
“… Oh, go out?”
Independence is just a set procedure anyway.
I thought it was time to go back to my old home.
“I’ve been here for a long time… .”
It’s been almost two whole months.
It occurred to me that many things had happened not long after independence.
“Ah… So… You told me to leave the place I was staying… .”
“Uh, yeah? Here… ?”
“No, not here, go back to where you came from… .”
And then my father interrupts us as we talk.
“Well, if you guys are all fine, what can we do? But, our son is so immature. He said he wanted to take both of them, so I told him to go live somewhere. Is that okay with you, Sarang? If it’s hard, you or Arum can come back home anytime.”
“Ah… .”
Permission is permission, but first, they told me to get out of the house.
“When…?”
“When? Now is the time to pack.”
Was it my imagination that my father’s expression seemed brighter than ever?
“Ah, if you don’t want to go out right away, just tell me anytime. My son said he’s going out, but if you guys don’t want to, there’s nothing I can do.”
And I could only keep my mouth shut when my father said something that seemed to be a test.
“… First, should I pack my bags?”
I nodded at Arum’s subsequent words.
And then he follows Arum’s steps.
“… What did your father say?”
“Do whatever you want. But, he said to do everything himself. Hehe… .”
It was a slightly awkward laugh.
Tap my shoulder.
“First of all, I have some money saved up… I wonder what will happen right now… .”
“Ah… .”
At those words, I thought about my bank account balance.
No need to worry, it’s 0 won.
All I had was my father’s card.
“Oh, do you have a card…?”
“Huh, you were going to take it right away anyway?”
And I just lost everything.
“Oh, it’s okay. Just spend my money with me.”
“No… but still… .”
My pride gets hurt during this time.
I was kicked out of my house and now I have no money so I have to resort to begging.
“… Should I look into part-time jobs?”
“Hey, that’s okay. What are you doing when you’re pregnant? Hurry up and pack some more clothes. ”
“Sigh… .”
I’ve lived comfortably at home my whole life, and of course I thought about running away because of this incident, but I never thought I’d be kicked out like this.
And as I stuffed my clothes into my bag, the reality of this moment hit me a little harder.
