-Then, would you like to go to America with me?
“United States?”
‘It’s America… Saipan was also an American territory.’
However, since Saipan is a type of autonomous government that does not belong to any state in the mainland United States, it is awkward to call it the real United States.
-huh! USA! Shall we meet and talk about the details?
“Yes. Where shall we meet?”
-I recently found a nice, quiet cafe. See you there. I’ll send you the address via KakaoTalk.
“I understand.”
After finishing the phone call, I got ready to go out. In the bathroom, I washed my body using Chosoo Dongbaekjang and dried myself with this skill.
It was a very extravagant method for simply showering, but it saved a lot of time.
‘Today’s broadcast… If I have to, I should rest.’
It could be just a conversation and end, but if you catch a fire and get a room, you could stay out for a day.
I made an announcement to the community on my channel.
[Today’s broadcast is Schrödinger’s broadcast.]
There may or may not be a broadcast due to an urgent appointment.
In some ways, this is a promise that is not unrelated to the broadcast content, so we ask for the viewers’ generous understanding.
thank you
Tiringㅡ
In an instant, along with the notification, comments from subscribers started pouring in.
-??????
-Are you fooling me? Is it Minho?
-Open the door right now!
-If you wait, it will come, right… ?
-Today’s broadcast is… Service ends…
-Are you getting a big one?
-What are you preparing? Haha.
-So, tomorrow you’re going to indulge yourself 24 hours a day, right? So tomorrow, you’re going to have a 24-hour binge-watch, right?
If this kind of thing were common, public opinion might be bad, but the reality is that the time has come to say, ‘It’s safe outside the blanket!’ After the program aired.
My image was now in a very good state due to several incidents that had already made headlines. In addition, this time, he saved a drowning person.
Perhaps for the time being, even if I make minor mistakes, the public will understand. A break announcement like that cannot even be considered a joke with viewers.
And thanks to his high physical strength, his usual broadcast time was not short. Therefore, it was correct to view the comments as just subscribers’ complaints of regret.
-Look at Lee Min-ho. If you don’t turn on the broadcast today, I’m going to poop my pants.
‘hmm… ‘It’s a joke, right?’
I turned off notifications after seeing that comments using various ask art were all over the place.
The address that Jeong Soo-jin sent was a small private cafe 20 minutes away from my house.
“Oppa! It’s here, it’s here!”
“You came out early. Have you waited long?”
“No, I just arrived too.”
While waiting in front of the cafe, she answered, tucking her hair behind her ear.
Jeong Soo-jin was wearing a blue blouse and white skirt that matched the color of her eyes.
“The clothes match well. It’s pretty.”
“Thank you! lol… Oppa, you are dependable and cool today as well.”
Su-jin Jeong looked embarrassed after hearing the compliment. As she stood next to me to enter the cafe, she looked at my face and opened her mouth.
“I felt it before… My brother is a man, but doesn’t his skin look great? What kind of cosmetics are you using?”
“I don’t really have anything to write about.”
“Then is it just genetics? I’m really jealous… You just go to the dermatologist and get treatment, but you’re not keeping it a secret, right? Then I’m really sad.”
“Why would I keep something like that a secret?”
Perhaps, in addition to the increase in physical strength, learning martial arts and expelling waste accumulated in the body may have had a big impact.
But since I can’t explain that to Jeong Soo-jin, I can only say that it’s constitution.
Jeong Soo-jin, who was puffing out her cheeks as if she was angry, soon blew out air from her mouth and smiled.
“Right? I just did it because I was jealous.”
“Now, let’s sit down quickly and start ordering.”
The cafe’s interior was made entirely of wood with a wooden feel.
We sat in a seat with a decent view out the window, chatted and ordered drinks.
I ordered a flat white, and Sujin Jeong ordered a cappuccino.
After taking a sip of coffee, I saw her putting down the cup and asked a question.
Rattlingㅡ
“So, what did you mean when you suddenly asked to visit the United States?”
“Ah, that’s right… ”
And then Sujin Jeong’s explanation followed.
When I suddenly asked him why he was American, he said that he had started talking to his father again after his last visit to the US military base.
So, I would like to take this opportunity to go to the United States, where my father’s home is.
“Good. Can I ask what caused the bad relationship between you?”
I carefully asked questions about what I was curious about from the beginning.
Previously, the relationship between the two seemed strained, so I felt a little uncomfortable asking about the situation. But now that the issue seemed to have been resolved to some extent, I secretly asked.
Forcibly asking about personal circumstances was a nuisance, but not paying attention at all was also an issue that could hurt the other person in some cases.
Fortunately, Jeong Soo-jin did not show any displeasure, thought for a moment, and then opened her mouth.
“You know I’m mixed race, right?”
“You know.”
“Actually, this is not the first time my dad was dispatched to Korea.”
Jeong Soo-jin’s explanation that followed was very unexpected.
I just assumed that Su-jin Jeong’s mother, who met her father in the United States, gave birth to her and raised her in Korea.
But the situation she was talking about was a little different.
It is said that when Jeong Soo-jin’s father was first dispatched to Korea, he met her mother and fell in love with her. And not long after, Jeong Soo-jin was born.
Jeong Soo-jin’s father initially extended his dispatch and showed himself to be faithful to the family he had created in a foreign country.
But that lasts only a moment. On the day when Jeong Soo-jin turned five, for some reason, when his dispatch period ended, he returned to the United States, leaving his wife and her behind.
Instead of taking them to the mainland together, he left alone.
“… You must have been very resentful.”
“That’s right. Still, I didn’t hate my dad that much back then.”
It is said that she, who did not know the adult’s circumstances, simply thought that her father had gone on a long business trip.
And the guess at the time wasn’t terribly wrong.
Because it was not true that Jeong Soo-jin’s father had left the mother and daughter alone.
It is said that they are in regular contact, if not daily, and have consistently provided financial support to ensure that there is no inconvenience in their lives.
“The problem is that even when my mother collapsed, she never came to Korea.”
“… … .”
It is said that Jeong Soo-jin’s mother collapsed from cancer shortly after she entered high school.
The ordeal that befell her, who was still young, was too much for her to handle alone.
In the end, she was disappointed in her father, who did not show his face until the day her mother died, and said that she had been avoiding him since that day.
At first, there was a misconception that his father was raising another family in the U.S. and that he was treating his mother as a local.
“Even now, I still don’t completely understand Dad. In the end, you didn’t say why you did that, until the end. I just think about what my father has tried so far and try to understand… ”
“I see.”
I fingered the glass, which felt warm, because it was heavier than I thought.
‘He seemed like a person who cared a lot about his family… ‘
The way he gave strength to her hand when she shook her hand with the man her daughter brought her, and the way he looked at Jeong Soo-jin with affectionate eyes.
The father of Jeong Soo-jin that I saw did not seem like the kind of person who would just abandon his family for no reason.
It was an unexpected story in many ways.
“Well, that’s why I’m planning to travel to America this time.”
Sujin Jeong brightened the mood with a smile and continued speaking.
“I’m also curious about how my father lived in the United States. Even though my dad has to stay in Korea, I can go right now. If I go with my brother, I plan on going to Comic Con as well.”
“Comic Con?”
“Yes! Have you ever heard of it?”
“Well, because it’s so famous… Is it San Diego? You mean what they do there?”
“That’s right!”
Jeong Soo-jin nodded.
Although I am a native Korean whose only experience of traveling abroad was a recent trip to Saipan for filming, I know about Comic Con because I have heard about it several times on the Internet.
Comic Con. As the name ‘Comic-Con International’ suggests, it is a huge expo where presentations and events on all comics-related content are held.
Not only is it the first release of a Hollywood movie trailer, but actors also appear in person.
It is truly a festival day for fanatics, with an opportunity to see cosplay of incredible quality.
While nodding, I asked something that suddenly occurred to me.
“But isn’t that already over? I think I heard last time that the event usually takes place in July.”
It is now early October. It was a time when I could feel the weather getting cooler while filming at dawn.
Jeong Soo-jin quietly shook her head.
“Oh, that’s probably last year’s story. This year’s Comic Con was slightly postponed due to problems with the organizers.”
“Really?”
I just nodded. Su-jin Jeong, who has American parents, knows more about these American events than I do.
