episode_0389

I woke up early in the morning, headed to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and looked at the step at my feet.

The cute, large, chick-shaped step stool was lent to me by Rain.

It’s time to find a stepping stone that you thought you wouldn’t need anymore as you’re all grown up.

Rain willingly offered his foothold.

I pouted my lips as I looked at my shortened legs.

I thought about Rain, who had been smiling strangely while lending me a stepping stone, and bit the toothbrush roughly.

After finishing a quick wash and going outside, I came face to face with Shine sitting on a chair with a haggard expression.

She looked at me with pitiful eyes.

He looked very tired, having been bothered by Amy until late at night.

I looked at Shine’s large body.

Long limbs and a large chest.

I was a little shorter than Amy, but until a few days ago, I had a body like that.

It was all Shine’s fault that I became small.

As I turned my head away, Shine became noticeably gloomy.

Still, there’s nothing I can do.

I’m not going to play with Shine because I’m still not completely relaxed.

“Jeff. Are you done washing?”

“Yes~”

I ran to the refrigerator, answering Amy’s question.

Even though my body had changed like this, I was an adult and had to drink adult beverages.

A can of beer drunk early in the morning had the power to refresh the body.

At least I thought so.

The moment I excitedly ran to the refrigerator and opened it, I realized that this was not my room.

The green drinks that filled the refrigerator sparkled as if welcoming me.

The green liquid that Amy had prepared herself reminded her of her life seven years ago.

That’s why I hated mornings.

I opened my mouth blankly and quietly closed the refrigerator.

I looked around the room with my arms crossed.

As expected, this place was too small for me.

Once you’ve made up your mind, you have to put it into action.

I packed my large dinosaur bag and started stuffing my clothes into it.

The clothes that fit my current body didn’t look much different from the ones I wore seven years ago.

Underwear with very small dimensions fit easily into a bag.

“Jeff? What are you doing?”

I looked back.

When did it come?

Amy came over, bent her knees, and met my gaze.

Still, I had to look up at her.

“I’m going to my grandfather.”

“Why?”

“It’s too narrow here.”

Amy seemed to recall a past memory at my words.

To me, a grown man, this room where we three lived felt too small.

So I will go to my room in my grandfather’s house.

I finish packing my bag, leaving Amy behind as she blinks and looks down at me.

He carries the plump, swollen dinosaur on his back, and finally holds the large white squirrel in his arms.

Even after so many years, this teddy bear was still my precious friend.

“Ready to go.”

The moment I walked towards the door, staggering, holding Baek-shi in my arms, Amy hugged my body.

My legs are swollen and I’m flailing around in the air.

I looked at Amy with a puzzled look.

“Is Jeff leaving his mom too?”

“Huh?”

I gaped at Amy’s words.

Why on earth are you doing this?

Amy had a look in her eyes that seemed genuinely regretful.

Just a few days ago, we were each using separate rooms. Did they forget that?

“Please let me down.”

I waved my shortened legs wildly and demanded to be let down.

But Amy didn’t give up.

He hugged me tightly as if he thought I was precious to him.

Honestly, I liked being held between those big breasts, but I couldn’t go out like that.

“Do I have to go?”

“Why?”

“Because I want to be with my daughters.”

I looked back at Shine at Amy’s words.

She was dozing off on the table, her back slumped.

Her white hair falls over the table, matching her nodding head.

“You can just be with Shine.”

“Are you going to leave your sister alone?”

“I’m not alone because my mom is next to me.”

So, I hope you come down soon.

I stretched my toes and swung my feet down.

It seems like it will reach, but it doesn’t.

Too far.

“No! Mom won’t let Jeff go!”

I was dumbfounded by Amy’s tantrum.

I wonder if you ate something bad this morning.

Or maybe Shine did something weird.

I let out a deep sigh.

It was clear that Amy was feeling anxious right now that I might disappear.

Seven years have passed since one of the two daughters disappeared.

Although it is said that it has been recovered now, it does not mean that the 7 years of time have been recovered.

The shock received by Amy, who has her memories intact, must have been considerable.

“I don’t disappear like Shine.”

So I wish you would come down quickly.

But Amy wouldn’t let me down.

He shook his head with a determined expression and hugged me tightly.

And if I stayed with Amy like this, I wouldn’t be able to have a showdown with Lane to see who would send me off first.

Yesterday I lost, but today I had to win.

Amy took the large dinosaur bag off my back and tossed it into the corner.

The dinosaur, bloated with clothes, rolled around on the floor.

“Still, I won’t send it.”

I frowned at Amy’s words.

I got to spend time with Amy.

Amy stuck with Shine and wouldn’t let go, so the three of them ended up stuck together.

Whether it was while Shine was studying, watching TV, or eating, I couldn’t leave Amy’s arms.

“Oh, Mom.”

“Huh?”

“I want to hug Jeff too.”

While we were all sitting on the sofa watching television, Shine looked at me and opened her mouth.

It was a hot gaze that seemed to have been endured for quite some time.

But Amy shook her head and turned my body to the side.

“No.”

“Why…?”

“Jeff is mom’s.”

“Why is Jeff your mom?”

“Because I’m your mother’s daughter.”

Shine’s mouth fell silent at Amy’s confident words.

Shine’s listless gaze turned to my legs.

At that gaze, I flinched slightly.

Because it felt like he was caressing my legs just with his gaze.

“That’s why it’s not possible.”

Amy said that and hugged me tightly again.

Honestly, I’m so frustrated, I wish they would let it go now.

“Je, Jeff is mine…”

Shine, who had been observing Amy’s expression, carefully opened her mouth.

At those words, Amy’s eyebrows twitched and shot up into the air.

“Why is Jeff yours?”

“Me, I’m Jeff’s older sister…”

“A person called Sister abandoned her younger sibling for 7 years?”

“Oh, I didn’t throw it away!”

Amy looked at Shine silently at her words.

Shine found it difficult to bear Amy’s gaze and eventually turned her head away.

Amy smiled victoriously.

I sighed as I watched the childish fight.

While I was spending time like that, there was a knock on the door.

dripping-

dripping-

If there was anyone who would come at a time like this, it would be Rain.

Amy held me in her arms and headed toward the door.

[Jeff~]

Rain was looking for me too.

Amy arrived at the door and opened it wide.

“Oh my… Huh…”

Lane seemed surprised to see that it was Amy who opened the door and came out.

Lane, who was sitting on the floor, avoided Amy’s gaze as if something was bothering him.

“Rain? What’s going on at this hour?”

“No, I was going to play… with Jeff… but… I’ll just go…”

I narrowed my eyes at Rain, who was standing up and trying to turn around in a hurry.

This little, sinister chick seemed to have come looking for Amy when she was gone.

But Amy shook her head and grabbed the back of Lane’s neck.

Rain flounders, his feet tumbling.

Amy held onto the chick as she went into the room and closed the door.

“You came at a good time. I’m playing with Jeff over there.”

“Uh, huh?”

Only then did Amy lower me to the floor.

I watched Amy’s expression along with Rain.

Amy pushed Lane and me toward a toy house filled with dolls and toys.

“Play there where you can see it well. Okay?”

Amy said that and turned to Shine.

It seemed like he was going to start studying.

Rain and I sat down on the floor and hugged the doll.

“Jeff…what’s going on…?”

“I don’t know. Yesterday was fine. Today, my mom won’t let me go.”

“Seo, did they catch us playing a secret game?”

“If that had been discovered, Rain wouldn’t be here right now.”

At my words, Rain covered his face with a doll, frowning.

Still, he seemed to know that it was shameful to have eaten his friend’s daughter.

Amy kept glancing here while pointing out what to study to Shine.

I felt uneasy about my leaving.

I sighed.

It’s not that I didn’t like Amy’s attention, but it was just too much for an adult like me.

I wasn’t a child.

Even though my body had become like this, my citizenship still told me that I was an adult.

I jumped up from my seat.

“Mom!”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to play outside!”

So I said it confidently.

I will go out.

I’m going to go out and play to my heart’s content.

“Would you like that?”

“Bar, is it okay to play outside?”

I gaped at Amy’s words.

Are you saying that it’s okay to go out and play, but not okay to go to grandpa’s house?

What on earth was the problem?

I stared at the dinosaur bag that had eaten up all my clothes.

“Isn’t it okay to go to Grandpa’s house?”

“Yeah. Jeff and Shine are staying here with their mom.”

I blinked at Amy’s words.

It seemed like Amy wanted to fill the void of the seven years that had passed without Shine.

I sighed, stood up awkwardly, and extended my hand to Rain.

“Me, I want to go out with Jeff too…!”

Shine, who was studying, saw me and jumped up from her seat.

But immediately, Amy’s honey chestnut flew in.

With a “thud” sound, Shine’s body slumps back into the chair.

“You can’t.”

Shine shed tears.

To be honest, it seemed pitiful, but her sins were so great that she needed a long period of atonement.

I left the room with Rain.

“Then shall we go to my room?”

I squinted my eyes at Rain’s words.

As I left the room, he grabbed my hand tightly with an excited expression on his face. I thought he was so perverted.

To be honest, I didn’t really want to do it, but I wanted to spend today doing something different.

“No, I’m going to play outside.”

Rain looked visibly disappointed at my words.

I headed out with Rain.

Take the elevator and arrive at an open forest.

It’s been seven years since I’ve been here.

But the forest didn’t feel as alive as it did when Allen was there.

It seemed that Allen still hadn’t been released.

I walked confidently and opened my mouth.

“Mr. Shumain!”

As I spoke into the empty space, the space distorted and Mr. Shumain popped his head out.

It was a little scary to see the head floating without a body, but I confidently requested.

“I’m going out! Open the door!”

When I was young, I couldn’t go out unless I was with an adult.

But now, I could confidently ask them to open the door.

Schumaine looked down at me and tilted his head.

Something looked strange.

“Jeff…”

“Yeah, it’s Jeff?”

“Are you an adult now…?”

“Yes. He’s a proud adult.”

“Okay.”

Mr. Schumaine nodded and opened the door.

I headed outside with a proud expression on my face.
