There are times in life when you don’t want to be hit, but you end up doing it.

It’s not a sex joke, it’s a reference to when you’ll break your parents’ hearts.

In that sense, it could be said that Choi Jin-ah drove a huge nail into her father’s heart.

“I’m going to marry this person!”

No one present expected such a shocking statement.

Even I, the person who is going to get married.

“Huh?”

I was holding my breath wondering what was going on.

Chairman Choi Gil-seop’s expression could be perfectly defined by the word despair.

It was the first time in his life that he chose his daughter over his own company.

I was satisfied, thinking that Chairman Choi Gil-seop had some humanity left in him.

Even so, I’m saying that he wasn’t a father so ruined that he would give his daughter to a scoundrel.

But Choi Jin-ah ruined it all in one go.

“Ji, Jin-ah?”

Chairman Choi Gil-seop calls his daughter with a trembling voice.

A nursery rhyme that makes you wonder if you’ve ever called your own daughter that.

However, Choi Jin-ah was already so excited that she didn’t even realize her father’s condition and continued to say what she wanted to say.

“I like this person! He was my first love when I was young! I will marry this person, even if it is for the sake of the company!”

‘No, why is my opinion… … .’

Have you been keeping your mouth shut and quiet until now and then suddenly come out?

“Then excuse me!”

Choi Jin-ah dragged me out before even hearing Chairman Choi Gil-seop’s answer.

“Are you crazy?”

When I asked her as she passed through the large front door, Choi Jin-ah blushed and whined.

“It’s because of you! Why did you say something like that?! What the hell was I supposed to do there!”

“… … .”

“Didn’t you want me to come forward? You kept putting pressure on my father, but you kept watching how I would react!”

Yes, that’s right.

But I didn’t know that it would all end and I would leave.

“I don’t know! My head is so hot that it feels like my brain is going to melt! First of all, I wanted to deny whatever my father said! It seemed like this was my only chance!”

What I meant was that if I were to get married, I would have said I didn’t want to get married.

In short, he really just hated Chairman Choi Gil-seop emotionally, so no matter what he said, he would have done the opposite.

‘Should I look at this positively?’

While walking along the stone path in the garden, I was lost in thought.

The bodyguards follow them out.

He waved at us and then suddenly started running towards us.

“Okay, I guess you told me to catch him!”

Jin-ah Choi, flustered, runs outside even more urgently.

But as we ran at full speed, Senior Joohee passed us by lightly and asked quietly.

“Pierced?”

“Yes!”

That was the end.

The senior ran straight forward and subdued the guards guarding the gate.

Then he opened the door, unlocking the old-fashioned lock.

I was left speechless by what happened so quickly before we even reached the front door.

‘It’s really great.’

At this point, shouldn’t the senior just go for the athletics side?

He’s not the type of person who’ll end up as a bodyguard.

Anyway, I got out, but the important thing was that there was no car.

Since I don’t have any other means of transportation, I have to just run, but it’s still quite far to the city center.

While wondering what to do.

A black sedan parked across the street.

The driver’s side window of the car opened and the security team leader I saw at the cafe last time gestured.

“This way!”

“Let’s go right now.”

Senior who opens the door.

As soon as he heard that the security team leader was there, his tone of speech became polite.

“Did your senior call you?”

“Yes, I contacted you just in case you were here.”

“Senior is the best.”

The senior responds with a gentle smile.

Jinah followed me and got into the car right before that.

“This won’t come anymore!”

He shouted towards his parents’ house.

* * *

“Sigh, I’m tired.”

The place I eventually returned to was my hometown.

After I finished showering and came out of the sweat from running away, I saw my mom, my older brother, and my younger sister-in-law gathered in the living room.

I really wanted to go to sleep right away because of the time difference.

I couldn’t sleep because it seemed like I needed to sort things out.

By the way, I sent Senior Joohee off work.

He said he could sleep here if he was tired, but he replied that he would feel more at ease sleeping at home.

“I went to Hawaii and didn’t buy a single souvenir. Is it because my family education was bad?”

A mother sitting on the sofa reflecting on her own home education.

“Everything there is here too. Buy something.”

“There’s something called sincerity.”

“What the hell is Jeongseong? My carrier was stolen too. They said they’d keep my luggage there, but I ran away so I couldn’t get it.”

It should be in your car.

“Tell them to hand it over separately. Or else I’ll sue you.”

As I sit on the sofa, I look at the fruit in front of me. Usually it’s just apples, but here there are kiwis, strawberries, and melons.

The feeling of being picked up with a fork and eaten with a kiwi.

It was my younger brother and sister-in-law.

“What happened? Wasn’t Jinah supposed to go back now?”

“It’s good for us to be together. But your expression doesn’t look good.”

I was about to ask him to ask me, but then I remembered what I had said in front of Chairman Choi Gil-seop.

“Ahem, let me explain it simply.”

I’m afraid I’ll talk nonsense, so let me explain briefly. Choi Jin-ah just came out of the shower.

“I think this house’s bathroom is the best.”

Because of Choi Jin-ah, I just took a shower in the bathroom.

“Jin-ah, enjoy yourself here!”

“Oh my, you’ve worked hard!”

“Since I only had three sons, the only thing I could smell was the scent of night flowers, but now my house will smell bright.”

What did I just hear?

anyway.

The family members who had learned the details of Choi Jin-ah’s circumstances welcomed her back.

Since I’m already staying here, I guess I can just stay here until I feel okay.

“Come and see.”

Call out Choi Jin-ah separately.

Standing by the window with a view of the garden, stepping on the sunlight streaming in.

“Stay here for as long as you want. You don’t have to explain the situation to me.”

“… … Yes.”

“But I think we’ve come to realize that just sitting here isn’t going to solve the problem.”

“Yeah, right. I’m thinking clearly.”

“You also know that in the end, Chairman Choi Gil-seop tried to remain a father, right?”

“… … .”

Choi Jin-ah with her mouth tightly shut.

It seemed complicated in many ways.

“Anyway, what I’m saying is that change is possible in relationships. The choice is yours.”

“While washing up, I thought about why I rejected my father’s words in the end.”

A voice like a faint sigh.

Despite her trembling, she expressed her opinion steadfastly.

“Still the same.”

“Still the same?”

“It’s my marriage problem. In the end, you never asked my opinion.”

“… … .”

“You made your own decision by saying that you would do it for me until the end. If you had stayed there, it would probably have been the same in the future.”

This time, it is likely that he will continue his coercive actions in the same way as before, under the pretext of doing it for Choi Jin-ah rather than the company.

“Hmm.”

I guess it’s definitely because they’re married.

It even touched on parts I couldn’t see through.

That means Jinah Choi knows Chairman Gilseop Choi well.

“I see you’re thinking things through. I’m going back tomorrow anyway, right? I have to prepare for the semester now.”

“Ah.”

“If you need help, don’t call me. Figure it out yourself.”

All I can do is tap you on the shoulder.

I smiled as I passed her and tried to go back to my room.

“Should I tell my family the same thing I told my father?”

“… … Are you threatening me?”

“We’re already on the same boat.”

Look how shameless that is.

“I said I would get off, Captain.”

“Mr. Woojin is a navigator. Where are you going?”

Besides, there was one more weakness that Choi Jin-ah was holding onto.

“Does your family know that you’re dating three people at the same time?”

“… … .”

I don’t know.

I just know that I’m wavering between the three.

I haven’t said yet that I’m seriously going to take three people.

That was something we would say later, when we were sure about our relationship.

“Is it like this?”

“Who was the first to cut ties?”

A tense war of nerves.

But in the end, I was the only one who lost, so I sighed deeply and nodded.

“I’ll help you if you need it. But I need some time too.”

“That’s enough. As long as you don’t feel like you’re fighting alone.”

Was it not that you really needed someone to help you, but rather that you wanted to feel that sense of security?

Looking at it that way, it’s a bit sad.

“Let’s have a drink before we go up. Last time I saw you, you liked soju.”

“Gopchang in soju!”

“… … Where did you learn how to make gopchang with soju?”

“You know the girls I met at the last reunion? They said they wanted gopchang with soju and took me there.”

It seems like we’re still on friendly terms.

“Okay, let’s do that.”

First of all, I’m so tired, I need to get some sleep.

* * *

A week has passed.

I came back to the Hyundai dormitory again, and since the course registration had just ended yesterday, I was just rolling around and resting.

This time I was lucky and was able to pick exactly the classes I wanted.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: What the hell.

Of course, there were some who weren’t like that.

– Kim Woojin:ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is there a student who has to go to school every day in the second semester of the second year?

– Kim Woo-jin: “Looking at your great enthusiasm for learning, I guess you have talent as a teaching assistant.” He immediately tells the professor that he has been demoted to a teaching assistant.

– Kang Han-gang: Didn’t that kid say he had a 4-hour break?

– Pyo Jin-ho: If it were me, I would have gone to the military.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: I’m going to the military.

– Kang Han-gang: When I go to sleep, my girlfriend immediately asks to break up.

– Pyo Jin-ho: We always welcome you, Hyun-ho. Let’s enlist together.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: Ah, I can’t enlist because of Gyu-ah. She’s been acting a bit strange lately.

– Kim Woo-jin: Didn’t you give your bad habits to others?

– Ahn Hyun-ho: F*ck

– Pyo Jin-ho: But where did Chan-woo go?

– Kang Han-gang: Chan-woo can tell just by looking at him that he’s sleeping with a woman next to him.

I immediately uploaded a photo secretly saved on my phone as my profile picture.

Last time, there was a fuss about my profile picture because of the kids, but I just ignored it.

If this is the case, I guess attention will turn back to it.

– Kang Han-gang: Oh, shit!

– Pyo Jin-ho: Wow, it really looks like shit.

The image he uploaded as his profile picture is none other than Jung Chan-woo’s ahegao meme.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: You son of a bitch, why are you doing this to me?

However, what’s unfortunate is that Ahn Hyun-ho is also doing ahegao next to him.

The two of them drank alcohol and did it as a punishment.

By the way, there is also something that the duo Han Kang and Jin Ho did.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: Do you think you’re the only one here?

After that, Ahn Hyun-ho’s profile picture changes.

A picture of me doing ahegao.

“Did you save this?”

Even I look at it like shit.

-Jeong Chan -woo: Kim Woo -jin.

Even as Jung Chan-woo, who had been left behind, joined the fight, our profile pictures began to spread among each other’s hateful pictures.

The English and Literature department chat room rang.

– Choi Yi-seo: English department students, please keep your Messenger profile pictures within a normal range as much as possible.

– Choi Yi-seo: Let’s not make others feel uncomfortable by sharing certain disgusting photos.

– Choi Yi-seo: It’s before the semester starts, but I got seven messages asking me to stop.

– Yoo Ah-rin: You guys are so ugly, you should just get along.

– Lee Hyun-ah: Yuca-Cola!

– Baek Seo-woo: Hahaha, Hyun-ah, you’re ugly too.

– Lee Hyun-ah: Oh oh oh

– Han Hyo-rim: Please stop. I feel like I’m going to throw up. I have this disease where I always look at someone’s profile picture if they change.

“… … .”

But wasn’t it Choi Yi-seo who first set my crazy photo as her profile picture?

It’s a bit awkward to talk about it in a group chat, so let’s send a separate message to Choi Yi-seo.

– Choi Yi-seo: This is going too far. What are you guys doing? Are you guys playing around like that in the first place?

– Choi Yi-seo: And the picture I made of you as my profile picture was cute.

that is?

I’m embarrassed so I’ll just say okay and move on.

Whatever it was, I think it’s true that we hurt others.

“Oh my, I’m tired.”

I feel like my eyes are going to gouge out because I’ve been looking at my phone so much.

The carrier that Chairman Choi Gil-seop sent earlier arrived after a week, so we need to sort that out.

‘Why did you put the carrier in a delivery box and send it?’

They’re trying to appeal by saying that they sent it safely.

It’s just a hassle to tear it open.

When I opened the box, a mint-colored carrier appeared.

“What is it?”

Choi Jin-ah’s carrier came to me by mistake.
