My vacation was restricted.

The reason was also vague.

The reason given was that there was a shortage of shift workers due to a lack of manpower, but in his view, that was just an excuse.

‘If the number of people has never decreased, what kind of shortage is there?’

Protest was impossible.

They say it’s an order from on high, so if you openly oppose it, the future is obvious.

‘I guess I just have to endure it for a little longer.’

At first, I thought so.

But that wasn’t the case.

3 months, 6 months, 1 year.

No matter how much time passed, the vacation restrictions were not lifted.

‘What the hell is the problem?’

In fact, even without a vacation, it wasn’t that hard or painful.

There was plenty of free time outside of work hours, and the surrounding commercial district was very active, so there were many things to enjoy.

The problem was his lower body.

‘Damn… I want to go home right now and fuck myself all night long!’

My wife got younger.

Having known his wife in her youth, he was convinced the moment he saw her.

‘More beautiful than when I was young… more beautiful than when I fell in love.’

A combination of the looks of her youth and the composure and charm of her 40s gave birth to an unbelievable sorceress.

If it were up to me, I would have just thrown her into bed that day and stayed with her all night.

But the lower part did not stand up.

I don’t know why.

Judging from the fact that his shoulders felt particularly heavy, I can only guess that it was due to extreme fatigue.

With a heavy heart, he returned home, leaving behind his charming wife.

After earnestly asking the young man living in the attic to keep a close eye out for any men targeting his young wife, he returned only to find that his vacation was restricted.

He was desperate.

‘The land flowing with milk and honey is right in front of us, and yet we cannot have it!’

I felt thirsty.

I wanted to make her breast milk come out again.

She is also in her prime as she has become younger.

The awakened one himself is in full swing.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a late child.’

I’ve decided.

Although it was late, I decided to grant my daughter’s wish of having a younger sibling when she was four or five years old.

But there are no signs that the vacation restrictions will be lifted.

Even my lower body, which would never rise again when I was at home, is now standing upright and throbbing.

That was the reason for the humiliation.

“Ugh, damn it!”

Knock knock knock!

I spent the night alone looking at her lovely appearance that I had seen during my vacation.

A bar where a friendly hostess welcomes you?

At first I stopped by often.

So much so that I don’t know if where I am now is my dorm or if her bar is my dorm.

But about a month ago, even that wasn’t noticeable anymore.

‘That girl is no match for the pheasant.’

I thought of it as a chicken instead of a pheasant when I held it, but the more I held it, the more I felt that it wasn’t even a chicken.

In the end, I had to endure and solve things on my own from time to time.

Hoping the vacation restrictions will be lifted.

But when it didn’t work out for over a year, he made up his mind.

‘I’m just going to throw this dirty job away!’

There was no reason to do the work.

The wife is a building owner, and the daughter is a successful hunter.

There was no way I would be short on money just because I didn’t earn any money myself.

I was used to resting anyway.

Rather, it is good.

Wouldn’t it be possible to live all day glued to her body?

But I had to give up my decision in just one day.

-“Are you crazy?!”

As soon as I expressed my intention to quit, I was scolded by my wife.

-“Yoojung, is that money your money?! You want to receive allowance from your daughter when you are in good health!”

He asked me if I wanted to cling to my daughter as if I had been waiting for her, even though I was still in my prime and had only just started earning money.

It was really torn to pieces.

Of course, encouragement followed.

-“I know it’s hard, but please hold on a little longer. The vacation restrictions will be lifted soon… Eung♥”

-“…Honey?”

-“Ah, sorry, I was concentrating on the call and stubbed my toe… , ah, it hurts♥”

-“You look really sick… Are you okay?”

-“Okay, it’s okay. Oh, anyway, just hang in there a little longer, honey. Then I’ll hang up now?!”

The call is abruptly disconnected.

I’ve said everything I wanted to say, and I’ve heard everything I wanted to hear.

“Yeah… My wife is right.”

I remembered the darkest time in my life.

There was a time when I was an incompetent husband who depended on my wife who was busy with building maintenance.

If I go back to my helpless self from back then, will my wife ever look at me properly?

“… That can’t be true.”

In the end, he tore up the resignation letter he had written in advance with his own hands and went back to work.

Just waiting for the vacation restrictions to end.

And finally, that day came.

“Excuse me?”

“Oh, even so. Since tomorrow is your vacation, just go out knowing that.”

“Thank you, thank you so much! ”

After a long wait, vacation restrictions have finally been lifted and we can now leave the danger zone.

As soon as work was over, he returned to his dorm, packed his bags, and headed straight to Seoul.

A building that still feels familiar even though I’ve been away for quite some time.

I run up the stairs three at a time and ring the doorbell.

Ding dong!

Finally, the sound of footsteps is heard.

It’s pictured in my head.

The face of his wife who opened the door and greeted him with a bright smile.

Bam!

The door opens.

The person who greeted him with a bewildered look at his wife whom he hadn’t seen in a long time was not his wife.

“Sir, it’s been a while.”

Kim Do-jin.

Now a world-class hero who has risen to truly great heights.

“How have you been?”

He was still living in the shabby attic.

* * *

A table with three people sitting across from each other.

There was a wall built there.

On one side of the wall stands him, on the other side stands Kim Do-jin and his wife.

“Dojin, try some of this too.”

“First, swallow what you put in your mouth.”

“Oh my, was I too hasty? Haha!”

It felt like my wife, sitting right next to me, was so far away, a million light years away.

‘what?’

It was strange.

‘It’s clear that I’ve been home for a long time, but why am I taking extra care of that guy?’

It was when I was looking at him with my eyes closed, suppressing my disappointment and not being able to say anything for fear of seeming petty.

Finally, I met eyes with my wife who was looking this way.

“Why aren’t you eating? Is the food you’re eating after a long time not to your taste?”

“Oh, no, that’s not it.”

It doesn’t work at all.

It seems like he doesn’t even think that he would be upset.

As if his own feelings didn’t matter at all.

He opened his mouth in ominousness.

“By the way, how have you been while I was away?”

“So-so.”

“Wasn’t it hard living without a man?”

“Huh… Well.”

Her gaze, after giving a vague answer, turns to Kim Do-jin sitting across from her.

Is it an illusion that his wife’s gaze at him looks strange?

While I was confused, she continued speaking.

“Thanks to Dojin’s help, it was okay.”

“Ah… , yeah.”

He looked at Kim Do-jin with a resentful gaze, depressed at the expression on his face that seemed to show no discomfort due to his absence.

“That… Dojin, are you still staying in the attic?”

“That’s right.”

“Why? You must have made a lot of money, but you didn’t move to a bigger house.”

Isn’t it time to go out?

Even though he noticed the subtle warning, Kim Do-jin shook his head firmly as if it was nothing.

“Not yet. Even if the house is big, it’s just hard to clean. And.”

The intense gaze of the young man, who had suddenly begun to exude a strong male scent, was directed at Seo Jeong-hee.

“I don’t have the confidence to live without the food that the lady makes.”

“Oh my, this one too.”

“… … .”

It’s getting more and more annoying.

Their own memories that they are unaware of.

Feelings of intimacy that come and go without a care.

‘At this point, wouldn’t it be okay to say a few words without seeming petty?’

When such thoughts started to pop into my head.

“Ah, I’m full. I ate well today, ma’am.”

“Huh huh… , Okay. Are you going up now?”

“Hmm.”

Kim Do-jin’s gaze passed over him once.

And then he nodded with a smiling face.

What does that mean?

Without giving me time to think, he continued talking.

“I have to go up. I have work tomorrow too, so I’m going to rest a bit and then go to sleep.”

“Okay. Get some rest.”

“You too, sir.”

“Huh? Oh, oh, yeah.”

Kim Do-jin puts his bowl of rice in the sink and turns around to leave.

Crunch!

Silence came with the sound of the door closing.

Soon, a noise was clearly heard in both their ears.

Thump! Thump!

The sound of a heart beating wildly.

“Hey, honey!”

Unable to control the blood that was quickly spreading throughout his body, he rushed towards Seo Jeong-hee.

The trick was to hug her straight away.

I was planning to hug her so hard that her bones would break, breathe in her scent as she continued to linger, kiss her passionately, and then go to the bedroom.

“Calm down.”

Her slender arms blocked his rush.

I remembered.

The fact that she too had become an Awakened One.

‘Wha, what power…!’

Her strength was far superior to his own, which had awakened long before her.

‘Didn’t you say it was definitely a cooking-related trait…?’

Suddenly, Kim Do-jin’s existence came to mind.

‘It’s that guy again.’

The guy who owes my wife a great favor must have prepared something for me again.

I was so disappointed.

‘If there’s something like that, I’ll take care of it, tsk.’

If that had been the case, wouldn’t he have become younger like his wife?

It was when he was grumbling inside.

Seo Jeong-hee, who stopped him from running excitedly, pointed to the seat across from him and said.

“Sit over there. I have something to tell you.”

“Ha, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? If it’s not urgent, then… !“

Seo Jeong-hee answered firmly to him who was very excited.

“It’s urgent.”

“… … .”

Shin Hyo-seop is losing his temper.

He sat down across from her and asked in an urgent tone.

“What the hell is going on?”

She took a deep breath, exhaled, and then answered.

“We’re getting a divorce.”
