Chapter 31 – Foster Care

31. Home foster care

First of all, most of the elderly people in the neighborhood believe in the Suncheon Church, so they really hate the Yeokcheon Adventist Church.

Of course, I can’t say it openly.

“Eight. My back hurts every time I see those guys.”

“Eight. Damn you guys! These guys deserve heavenly punishment. Tsk tsk tsk.”

For political or any other reason, I really disliked the people in Reverse Genius.

So basically, people who were rumored to be attending Yeokcheon Adventist Church were secretly ostracized.

This is because Suncheonism is widely popular.

Of course, Suncheon Christians cannot use their strength if they go somewhere else.

These are religious groups that only work in the Gyeonggi area where we are.

Although they are very small, they are indigenous religions that are firmly established as if they were local.

So I can’t openly discriminate.

First of all, Yeokcheon Advent is not a cult, but just a branch off from the orthodox denomination, Yeokcheonism.

Claiming that it is a cult is only the claim of Suncheonism.

The interpretations of the two doctrines that have existed since ancient times were very different.

There was a lot of internal conflict, and they just kept fighting because they were so different.

Suncheon and Yeokcheon are fighting over whether each other is orthodox.

They just treat each other as heretics by fighting over whether their doctrine is orthodox.

Beyond treating it as a heresy just because it has different doctrines, it is using the term pseudo-religion to disparage its image.

They say we engage in anti-social and unethical behavior.

However, from the past, Suncheongyo and Yeokcheongyo were independently recognized orthodox denominations.

The Yeokcheon Church eventually disappeared due to the attack of the Suncheon Church, and now the Yeokcheon Adventist Church remains.

I am not interested in Suncheon Church, Yeokcheon Church, or Yeokcheon Adventist Church.

A used bookstore at the end of the hallway on the 3rd floor, a place where Woojin and his older brother used to hang out.

I was currently taking refuge in a private bookstore that sold used books.

I came in to avoid the crowd that was throwing stones at me.

But what happened?

He said he had something to tell me and brought up the topic of ‘foster foster care.’

The owner of this place.

The bookstore man and the bookstore lady knew my situation well.

I knew very well that ‘I’ was not welcome everywhere.

As I was talking, I found myself crying without realizing it.

And he even knew in detail what I had experienced in School B.

Of course, the perpetrators were at fault, but the Reverse Heavenly Adventist Sisters took merciless retaliation, and there were many opinions that the retaliation was too severe.

One of the most ridiculous rumors is that I ordered a contract murder.

Among the perpetrators, he instigated the murder of one of the children who caused me the most damage.

I once told that kid, ‘Be an asshole!’ I once sent a text saying.

However, I was really surprised when I heard that he had actually been in a car accident and became paralyzed from the waist down.

You have been punished.

I prayed to any god, saying that there is a god and that justice is alive.

But as time passed, ridiculous rumors spread that I had made it that way.

After going through something like that, I came to be recognized as someone who should never be touched or interacted with.

Now it was to the point where I couldn’t even show my face in the neighborhood.

No, what do you think I have the strength to do in my lower body?

Everyone believed that I had entrusted someone from the Reverse Heaven Adventist Church with revenge.

They are really stupid people.

In this shitty situation, it was a very normal reaction to not want to go to school C.

I just didn’t want to go even if there was no reason, but now it’s because my mind is devastated in many ways.

Everyone is hissing at the power of the Reverse Heaven Adventist Church, but everyone is convinced that I am the cause.

It’s really hard for normal people in a world full of crazy people.

Jia didn’t care about that at all, so there was no problem.

The students of Ilcheon Religious Center only gained momentum, saying, “We are the power of the second coming of Yeokcheon!”

It was a truly ridiculous coincidence, but everyone was swearing that I had instigated it.

Did the Reverse Heaven Adventists really take revenge for me like that?

Of course it’s nonsense.

It’s just that that bastard is an asshole, so he became an asshole from the waist down.

In any case, I am someone who is not welcome either inside or outside of Ilcheon Religious Center.

Everyone outwardly defended me as the victim, but when he turned around, he cursed at me.

They say you can’t trust pseudo-bastards.

Fortunately, this bookstore couple didn’t care about that at all.

They were a truly insightful couple.

It is said that at first, the bookstore man did not want to volunteer at a religious center affiliated with Reverse Genius.

However, it is said that she was persuaded by the bookstore lady to help poor religious students regardless of religion.

She said that for some reason, the guy who found everything annoying started to become more diligent.

“Hmm… Maybe I stay at my house on weekdays and go to a religious center on the weekends,

Or you could just stay at my house forever. Maybe 3 years. There may be more than that.”

The lady’s kind smile was like Buddha.

Are there any women with such a good heart?

My heart was pounding.

“There’s someone I need to talk to. I’ll just ask. Oh! And I love living with her ex her her her her.”

The lady had a cute expression on her face and answered me with a playful look.

“Yes, you mean that steel man actor?”

“Uh! “Do you know?”

“Of course I know, the lady often goes to her volunteer work, so I’m afraid you don’t know that?”

Haha.”

For some reason, Sister Rocket flashed through my head, but I concluded that I could still meet her even if she lived here.

“I… I like it.”

Just the fact that I could sleep somewhere else than a religious center was attractive.

However, I was able to make an easier choice because I was told that I was going to go to the house of an old lady who reminds me of it from time to time.

“Then when are you leaving?”

“Hmm… It should come by the end of this year, right? Only then can we prepare for next year’s entrance ceremony..?”

And then we sat down in the room and started having a serious conversation.

The lady spoke carefully.

The bookstore couple said they saw me going through a lot of hardship while coming to volunteer at the religious center for several years.

So I wanted to help, and I took advantage of the foster care system.

The foster care system refers to entrusting young people to families who wish to protect and raise them in a family atmosphere.

It was a system that allowed one to grow into a healthy member of society.

I was especially desperate for this system because I could not adapt to the religious center where I was staying.

Of course, the situation was very different from a year ago because the position within the religious center had risen significantly.

It’s all thanks to Uncle Kang Cheolnam.

Actor Kang Cheol-nam is known for his shamanism.

Like me.

So there was a time when I thought that I could choose me.

That’s right, you should go to Shao-ji together with Shao-ji!

At first, without knowing why, Mr. Cheolnam was reluctant.

Actually, I still feel uncomfortable about something.

Sensuous feeling.

However, due to Mr. Kang Cheol-nam’s strong favor, my reason strongly warned me that I should not hate such a person.

Thanks to Uncle Kang Cheol-nam, religious students were able to receive pocket money and eat delicious food to their heart’s content.

Thanks to you, Jia became a lot more comfortable.

A man who showed me how to spend money.

But of course there were kids who hated me.

You’ve been harassing me all along and you hated me, but it makes no sense for you to suddenly like me.

*

I immediately sent a text message to Mr. Cheolnam.

I have a story to tell.

A few minutes later I got a call and I explained my story.

I agreed that I would like to stay somewhere else than the religious center right now.

And it was difficult to bring up the story of adoption, but he brought it up with good sense first.

“Okay. As long as you have it. And my desire to adopt you has not changed. “Come whenever you want.”

Mr. Cheolnam was dignified and cool.

“Um…Couldn’t Jia go too?”

I spoke carefully.

“I might consider it if you come to my house. But not now. There must be consent from all family members.”

Mr. Cheolnam firmly refused.

That’s how I ended the call.

I just always cared about Zia.

In that way, I informed her aunt that she had consented to fostering her as a foster home.

“I got ok! “Since when can I stay at the lady’s house?!”

“Good decision. Did you talk to the abbess? I think we should talk again. After we talk about it, we can stay together at my house.”

So we continued the conversation, asking personal questions.

He said that if he stays, there will be a total of 6 people.

Bookstore man, bookstore lady, one daughter, two daughters. And the men and women who will be chosen as foster youth.

“Um… I have a close friend named Jia, but Jia actually has a hard time adjusting to the religious center.”

She told the story in detail, but she told me that two women had already been selected separately in her mind and that she was trying to choose between the two women.

“Where is the lady’s house?”

“It’s near Ilcheon Station.”

Ilcheon Station.

It’s a bit far from here.

A place I drove to a few times with a nun.

Then, a phone call comes.

Tiririring-

“Hello?”

The lady answered the phone.
