    Special child



    Two days before entering elementary school, I faced my father alone with a serious expression on the bed where my mother’s memories were kept.

    “Abama mama.”

    Dad had a very reluctant expression on his face, wondering what he was so dissatisfied with.

    “…..”

    “You must keep your promise…”

    Dad, unable to avoid my explicit gaze, sighed.

    “Si-yoon… haha… do I really have to do this?”

    I persuaded my father in a serious voice.

    “Yes, I waited eight years. It was such a long time.”

    In a standoff situation between the two, my father listened to me.

    My father, who could not stand it any longer, raised his voice first.

    “Don’t lie! 8 years! I don’t even remember!”

    “Huh… Can you tell me one by one what you’ve heard since day 1?”

    When I told my dad about my overwhelming memory, he was very embarrassed.

    “Well… Even so, we have to start counting from the time Siyoon found out!”

    I nodded at my father’s quite reasonable remarks.

    “Then I waited 5 years…”

    Even so, it only decreases by 3 years.

    Dad started to get seriously worried.

    And Dad speaks carefully.

    “…..even if it’s only for 1 hour a day…”

    “What? One hour? Are you kidding? What are you doing with that?”

    Dad smoothed his hair and shook his head.

    “Why do you want to do this…”

    I neatly summarized the reasons why I wanted to do it.

    “Because people are crazy about that these days.”

    “So… it doesn’t work.”

    “That’s why I’m curious!”

    My father and I exchanged glances for a long time without saying a word.

    I was quite serious, and my dad was also stubborn.

    As if they wouldn’t back down from each other even an inch.

    Angered by my father’s stubbornness, I raised my voice.

    “No?! Dad, you keep your promises! You try to keep them every minute and every second! But why are you like this!?”

    “…Ha. Instead…”

    “Why does it keep happening, something sticks to me!”

    I crossed my arms and looked up at my dad.

    To express my anger as much as possible.

    “Okay then, Dad won’t lend you his social security number.”

    I could feel my head getting hot without even touching it.

    I couldn’t contain my excitement and told my dad.

    “I hate my daughter playing games so much!!!?”

    Alpha and Beta are startled by my shout.

    Yes. Me and my dad, the reason we confronted each other on the bed was because of a game.

    “…Yeah. Once you get into it, that’s all you do…”

    I took out my weapon of conversion.

    A secret weapon that has never been brought out…

    Have you ever heard of ‘seonjupil victory’?

    “…don’t force your tears out, I know they won’t come out.”

    As expected, the secret weapon does not come out easily.

    “…Tsk.”

    “Hehe… I’ll allow it, instead.”

    I looked at my dad.

    “Three hours a day… no more than that.”

    “Your ID is…?”

    “…organize the games you want to play and bring them to dad.”

    Bringing together the games you want to play… Dad’s surprise homework.

    I felt frustrated with my father’s parenting style toward me and said something.

    “After hanging out with Dayeon, the way I was raised became weird, you know that?!”

    Dad didn’t even look at me, as if he wouldn’t give up an inch.

    “I’m going to be crooked.”

    “You’re already crooked.”

    “Woo! Use each room!!!”

    Dad, I know that I keep what I say.

    He suddenly looked pitiful.

    When I saw my dad’s guard-free technique, I was speechless.

    “…Sorry. I’ll cancel.”

    “Si-yoon… Dad… Don’t leave me alone… Understand?”

    “Ah… really… you should know how cowardly your father is!”

    I left the house and rang the doorbell 10 meters away.

    -“Who are you?”

    “It’s me.”

    How many people go into someone else’s house and express themselves like this?

    -“Are you Siyun? Come in~”

    Look. The other person immediately knew who I was.

    Dayeon was the first to welcome me and hugged me as soon as she saw me.

    “Siyuna! Welcome!”

    Ga-yeon toddled behind her, and I carefully held her in my arms.

    “Hello Ga-yeon~”

    “huh!”

    Ga-yeon was showing off her serious cuteness.

    I said to Dayeon while petting her.

    “Da-yeon, what were you doing?”

    “Gayeon was playing!”

    “What about Jeongyeon?”

    Jeongyeon said that if she went to elementary school, she would call me older, but in the end, I didn’t hear that from her.

    “I went to my brother’s academy.”

    Only then did I enter the house and naturally say hello to Kim Seon-hwa.

    “hello~”

    “Welcome.”

    Although not as good as before, Kim Seon-hwa was still wearing clothes that looked luxurious.

    “What about you, uncle?”

    “He’s sitting over there.”

    I smiled and said to Dayeon next to me.

    “Dayeon, I’ll come back after talking to you. Just hang out in the room for a little bit.”

    “huh!”

    Two people felt that the atmosphere was unusual due to my words.

    I confirmed that Dayeon entered the room with Giyeon.

    Kim Seon-hwa swallows her saliva, and Lee Jin-seok glances at me.

    The couple witnessed my rapidly decaying expression.

    With a straight face, I approached Lee Jin-seok.

    “hey.”

    “…Keuhum, why did you call me? Siyoon?”

    After climbing onto the sofa where Jinseok Lee was sitting,

    Looking at Jinseok Lee, he rested his chin on his father’s legs.

    “Look at me.”

    Jinseok Lee, who was reading the newspaper, smiled awkwardly and made eye contact with me.

    “Let’s just ask one question.”

    “…..”

    “You know if I lie, right?”

    “…..”

    I quickly got to the point to Jinseok Lee, who nodded quietly.

    “Have you ever told Dad not to let me play games?”

    “…Keuhum.”

    As I was watching Jinseok Lee’s reaction, I felt dizzy.

    It didn’t take long for that dizziness to turn into anger.

    “It was the uncle!!! Mr. Lee!!! Because of the uncle, my father was fooled!!! He suddenly said he would make me study!!!”

    I ran towards Jinseok Lee.

    With the will to rip out all that hair.

    Lee Jin-seok is embarrassed and struggles to stop me.

    “Si… Siyoon!”

    Seonhwa Kim, who was watching the situation, quickly ran over and stopped me.

    “I recognized you from the time I went fishing alone with you and my dad!”

    Lee Jin-seok, with his hair ruined, adjusted his glasses and spoke to me.

    “I… I’m sorry.”

    “Mr. Lee… I really waited desperately for 5 years… but it was ruined because of you…”

    As I was downcast, Lee Jin-seok became restless.

    Kim Seonhwa, who was next to me, smiled awkwardly and said.

    “Si-yoon, don’t be too angry, you couldn’t help it.”

    “Is it okay? I heard you repay favors with vengeance…”

    The two trying to persuade me,

    With my arms crossed, I did not give in to their persuasion.

    But as if there was a trump card, Lee Jin-seok looked at Kim Seon-hwa and nodded to each other.

    “This… I was planning to give it to Siyun as a birthday present…”

    Only then did I look at Jinseok Lee.

    Lee Jin-seok slowly took out the contents of an envelope that was large enough to contain something small.

    Something black came out, with HS the black card written on the top.

    I was shocked and spoke with a trembling voice.

    “…..dad?”

    These people are looking at me and smiling.

    “If Si-yoon needs anything, you can use this. You don’t know how grateful I am for Si-yoon playing with our Dayeon…”

    I don’t remember what Dad, or Jinseok Lee, said after that.

    HS… I couldn’t take my eyes off that smooth figure.

    Lee Jin-seok, who realized that he had won my favor, grinned.

    “Are you sorry uncle?”

    I said while trying to control my facial expression as best as I could.

    “Yes, father. Can I give you a hug?”

    I… was very weak in capital.

    I hid the black card in the corner of my small wallet that my dad bought me.

    Then, while using the computer, I found the game and started writing it down as if I were writing a thesis.

    -Maple Leaf Game.

    The service began on May 29, 2002, and will soon celebrate its 21st anniversary.

    It claims to be the world’s first side-scrolling MMORPG and emphasizes travel and adventure in diverse fields.

    The catchphrase is ‘Endless fun and a fantasy you create yourself.’ . . . . . .

    -ROL

    A game based on Warguraft’s Chaosu. The game has been very popular ever since its release, and world-scale competitions are held every year. Combining the strengths of RPG and RTS. . . . . .

    I was so excited that I decided to hang out with my dad.

    The sentences continued endlessly, and I wrote them down endlessly, smiling as I imagined my father regretting reading them.

    When I entered elementary school, I was in the same class as Park Ji-hoon.

    What kind of school uniform do elementary school students wear?

    The private elementary school I attend in Seoul costs more than 10 million won each year in tuition alone.

    I could fully understand that the purpose was to prevent excessive decoration.

    Jihoon naturally sits next to me.

    “Wow… it’s refreshing to be doing this with my brother.”

    “Haa… can’t you just go out there?”

    “Hey? When I think about how I really fell behind because of this person, my face still hurts.”

    I looked at Park Ji-hoon with serious eyes.

    “Useup… So, did you get permission?”

    “Is there anything I can ask for? I heard that since I’m in elementary school, they’ll buy me a separate computer.”

    “Wow… I’m jealous for the first time in my life…”

    As I was chatting with Park Ji-hoon, it was almost time for the morning assembly.

    “hey.”

    The biggest kid in the class, whom I had never seen before, suddenly called out to me and stood in front of me.

    The gazes that are focused on us from those around us.

    “You do it for me.”

    “…?”

    When I look at the little boy, he blushes.

    Park Ji-hoon, who was watching this, looked back at me, slowly, slowly…

    A smile appeared on my face.

    “What? That would be nice.”

    Without even a moment of hesitation, I put the novel I was reading right in Park Ji-hoon’s face, and Park Ji-hoon fell back, holding his nose.

    The kids in the class who were watching this became quiet.

    I looked at Park Ji-hoon and sighed.

    “Haa…fuck…”

    “Hi!.”

    The big kid was surprised by what I said, looked at the people around him, and spoke to me.

    “Joe… I like it!”

    As if he wasn’t aware of the current situation, he even confessed his love to me.

    “I loved it from the first time I saw it!”

    “ha…”

    I had been in the class for 10 minutes, and that big kid had been in the class for less than 5 minutes.

    At this rate, I must have liked it from the first time I saw it…

    Park Ji-hoon, who got up immediately after being hit by me, grumbled.

    “You’re already ugly, so why do you keep touching my face?”

    “You’re ugly, so you have nothing to lose.”

    Park Ji-hoon suddenly takes out a mirror and checks his face.

    “…?”

    “Miss… You’re starting to resemble Parkgi more and more.”

    “You keep ignoring sex, but there were more women than you?”

    “…..”

    Park Ji-hoon hands me the novel I dropped.

    As we ignored the little boy in front of us, the big kid looked at Park Ji-hoon and said.

    “Come out after you’re done.”

    “…? Me? Suddenly? Why is that?”

    I assessed the situation quickly.

    Then, while smiling, he held Jihoon’s arm and spoke in a charming tone.

    “Jihoon~ Let’s play a game together the day after tomorrow~”

    “”…..”“

    Jihoon has finally assessed the situation.

    “…? Wow… I’m going crazy.”

    I quietly read the novel Jihoon Park gave me.
