Chapter Index

    “Surprisingly, my father seems to be kind.”

    Seo Ye-rin muttered as she continued to tap something on her cell phone.

    A remark that cannot be overlooked.

    I just turned my head around and glared at the guy.

    “What do you know?”

    I don’t know how many times you’ve seen your father to think that way. Maybe you think that way because you’ve built up a good image of yourself.

    “I thought about that a little bit. You know, the kind where you give them an envelope of money and say, “Get away from my son!” ”

    “Ahh.”

    Choi Jin-ah, who was sitting next to him, also exclaimed in agreement.

    I don’t know what kind of fantasies he has, even though he comes from a wealthy family.

    “But you worry about me and even prepare me for a health checkup.”

    We were waiting for a while before going for a health checkup.

    There’s nothing really to do, I just want to chat in my room.

    In fact, if I’m in the living room, I’ll probably run into my mother, older brother, and sister-in-law, so it’s like I’m taking refuge.

    I don’t mind, but they must feel uncomfortable every time one of those people passes by.

    “Haa, that’s what it is when I look at it briefly. I don’t really like my father. I don’t think he’s a very good person.”

    There are still times when I remember that day as if it were a thunderbolt falling from a clear sky.

    From a very young age.

    When he ignored my eldest brother’s efforts to please my father throughout his life and handed over the succession to me.

    That day, I not only felt betrayed by my father, but I also felt resentment towards myself.

    Even though it wasn’t my intention, it felt really bad to take something from my brother.

    ‘I don’t know if I’m good at anything.’

    My brother was better at studying, better at managing things, and he was even better at sports, so he had better stamina.

    At best, the reasons for choosing it are greedy and selfish.

    How can I not look at you with displeasure when you keep talking like this?

    “But isn’t he a good father just because he didn’t kick out his son, who was his role model?”

    Choi Jin-ah asks with a puzzled look.

    “… … .”

    I turned my head away and pretended to do something else.

    “Woojin Bongseon!”

    “Don’t give me weird nicknames.”

    “That! Isn’t that it? Oh, what was it? The best among people-!”

    Choi Jin-ah gave a kind answer to Seo Ye-rin, who was holding her head and worrying.

    “Injung Yeopo Majungjeoksatyo.”

    Among people, there is Lu Bu.

    Among the horses, there is red soil.

    A famous story.

    ‘Choi Jin-ah thinks Seo Ye-rin is cute.’

    It’s cute to see what he does.

    I was quite curious to see what kind of reaction he would have if he saw his true nature.

    “Kkojungwoojin!”

    “Huh? What’s with Kkojungwoojin-.”

    “Hey hey! Don’t do that! Don’t do that!”

    As I rushed towards Seo Ye-rin in a hurry, the guy snickered and quickly grabbed a pillow to stop me.

    “Hehehe! Little Woojin!”

    Among the peppers, there is Woojin Kim.

    I guess it means something like this.

    Seo Ye-rin, who was sitting on the bed, lay down as I ran towards her.

    Before I knew it, I was in a position where I seemed to be covering them, but for us, it was just everyday life.

    Choi Jin-ah, who was next to him, looked a bit embarrassed and turned her gaze away.

    “Woojina, but the bed is really big.”

    “Yeah, I think about that every time I come back after a long time.”

    “What are you going to do with the fact that you told me to stay here? Personally, I think it’s right for me to stay.”

    “Haa, I haven’t seen you guys for a while?”

    This is the part that worried me the most.

    Opportunities to see children are significantly reduced.

    It’s not just that it’s decreasing, but you may not be able to see it at all during the vacation period.

    Well, except for that, since I have a trip.

    “It’s a shame I can’t see you, but I have to take it easy.”

    “Sigh.”

    “I’m also continuing to film a movie, Arin is also very busy, and Ise is also having a hard time because of work. It’s hard for me to be with you.”

    That’s right.

    It would be especially difficult if you were to live in a dormitory.

    Up until now, we’ve all been staying at Yuarin’s house, so when I come home from work, I’m there.

    Now, after work, I go home, and if I get worried, I have to go out again.

    How annoying that would be.

    “I’m worried.”

    In the midst of worrying.

    “Excuse me, over there.”

    Choi Jin-ah, who was standing next to him, asked while covering her face with both hands.

    I wondered what it meant when he avoided eye contact after speaking to me, but I accepted him for now.

    “Yes?”

    “Huh?”

    “How long are you going to keep doing that?”

    With those words, I confirmed our status.

    Seo Ye-rin lying on the bed and me climbing on top of her. A position where I could kiss her right away if I just lowered my head.

    “Ahem.”

    Feeling awkward, he coughed and got up again. Seo Ye-rin also adjusted her clothes without much reaction.

    “But when are you going for your health checkup?!”

    It’s been two hours since I told you to wait, but when on earth are you leaving?

    As we were getting bored, the driver finally came and took us away.

    I was about to ask what was taking so long, but I held back.

    If you say something like this these days, you’ll get a lot of hate, calling you an old fart or a jerk.

    ‘Well, it was a sudden schedule.’

    Since we suddenly had to have a health checkup for two people without even making a reservation, the hospital will need to prepare as well.

    “… … But where are you going, Jinah?”

    “Yes?!”

    Choi Jin-ah, who followed him to the hospital with her arms around him, shakes her shoulders in surprise.

    I think he thought he just followed along naturally, but that wasn’t the case at all.

    “I don’t want to go home.”

    Judging by the way he mutters and mutters, it seems like he knows that he just said something embarrassing.

    “I’m not even a middle school student.”

    Choi Jin-ah also lowers her head even more, wondering if it was a fatal hit.

    I don’t know how far this girl will follow me, but anyway, I enter the hospital.

    “Oh, here you come.”

    “You really came with Jinah.”

    As I entered the hospital, the first thing I saw were two people I was so happy to see and missed.

    Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo.

    I found myself running forward without realizing it at the appearance of two people I had never expected at all.

    “What?! How did you get here!”

    “Hey! Why is a guy with a broken leg running? ”

    “Look at the people.”

    I ran over and hugged them both with one arm each. They grumbled, but they didn’t look too bad.

    “Why are you making a fuss just because I haven’t seen you for a day?”

    “That’s right. If someone saw me, they’d think I hadn’t seen you for a few days.”

    “It’s nice to see you again after just one day.”

    But more than that.

    “How did you come here? What brings you here?”

    “Senior Joohee brought me here by car. Your father called me, so I came.”

    “But why are you telling me to get a health checkup all of a sudden?”

    “… … .”

    How should I take this?

    I didn’t know why my father was thinking such a thing.

    He must have judged that one of the three people would become his prospective daughter-in-law and was trying to check if there were any sore spots.

    “If you have a rich boyfriend, you get these things for free.”

    “You are kind.”

    The two people seemed to think they were just getting a free health checkup, but I thought differently.

    Because I know that my father isn’t that affectionate.

    What if there’s a child here who has some kind of chronic illness or problem?

    Father will kick you out without mercy.

    ‘Like Yoonji’s time.’

    I felt my fists clench and my blood boil up to my head.

    I wanted to go and confront him right away because I thought he would start the test without permission and give me the results without permission.

    I didn’t necessarily tell those three people.

    Even if we did it, it would just make everyone feel bad and there would be no good thing.

    “Is it okay to practice with part-timer?”

    It’s pointless to change the subject to something else.

    “Practice, you can do it without me. The manager is here.”

    “Alba too… … .”

    Choi Yi-seo hesitates for a moment.

    He stares at me intently, sighs, and speaks honestly.

    “Yoonji told me to go and get out.”

    “Huh?!”

    “That, Senior Joohee came to the company.”

    “Ah.”

    It would be natural for Senior Joo-hee not to know that Choi Yi-seo was working at Yoon-ji’s company.

    No, but do you know that I dated Oh Yoon-ji?

    “Ahem, whatever, let’s go get tested first.”

    I felt awkward so I had to change the subject again.

    * * *

    Even if you get a health checkup, the results don’t come out right away.

    It took about 2~3 hours, but if you spend that time chatting with the kids, it goes by in an instant.

    I originally thought it was something like making a reservation and preparing.

    I was wondering if I could just do it, but… … I’m sure my father would have taken care of it.

    Or just do something simple that you can do today.

    While we were being called here and there for health checkups.

    Choi Jin-ah sitting alone in a hospital chair, playing on her cell phone.

    “What are you doing?”

    “Oh, I’m just bored.”

    It looked really boring.

    I wondered what he was doing, but he was just looking at old chats or organizing them.

    I was wondering if you would watch movies, cartoons, or even YouTube videos.

    “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

    I had nothing to talk about, so I was about to go back, but Choi Jin-ah grabbed the hem of my clothes.

    “Hey, by the way.”

    “Yes?”

    “Are those the people you mentioned at the last blind date? Choi Yi-seo, Yoo Ah-rin… … .”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    “… … .”

    Jinah Choi, who was staring at me at those words, asked seriously.

    “Wow, that’s amazing.”

    “What is it?”

    “No, they are all beauties who would never leave a mark no matter where they go. I think it’s amazing that I have three of them around me… ”

    “Oh my, what kind of praise is that?”

    “… … That’s not a compliment.”

    Choi Jin-ah was trying to continue the conversation because she was quite bored, but I noticed someone beyond her and headed towards them.

    “Senior Joohee!”

    Senior Joohee, you worked hard to bring us home yesterday and you worked hard to pick up the kids today.

    I was going to buy you a drink.

    “… … !”

    hmm?

    Senior Joohee’s reaction is unusual.

    What should I say, it’s like taking a step back and being careful.

    “Ah, Do, Do-ryun. You’re here.”

    Even though you try to hide it as if nothing happened, the way you avoid my eyes is suspicious.

    “What happened?”

    In times like these, it’s best to just ask honestly.

    So when I asked Senior Joohee directly, she just blankly looked at me and thought about it for a moment.

    “Sigh.”

    He let out a long sigh.

    Well then, that’s right.

    A sigh with this meaning.

    I was really wondering what happened.

    “Let’s pretend yesterday never happened.”

    Senior Joo-hee’s cold voice added as if warning.

    “Because it would be embarrassing if the people who are going to be my wife found out.”

    “… … Yes?”

    this.

    What are you talking about?
