Chapter 262 – Chapter 262

〈 Child View 〉

Miho is disappointed with his school life, which is so different from what he had imagined, and he does n’t even have much fun.
Korean language, mathematics, morals…
He couldn’t figure out why he needed to learn about these subjects.

‘What’s this. Not funny.’

Having to come all the way to school to learn these things, and furthermore, being away from my family, including Hyeonu, for hours like this?
Why?

On the other hand, Noah liked the fact that he could learn new knowledge.

She felt a little frustrated that the level was low and that the pace of teaching was so slow because she was teaching with other children at once.
At the same time, as dismissal time approached, Noah also felt a bit reluctant to be away from her family for so long.

One thing is certain, now Miho and Noah… Both of them had the same thought, “I want to go home.”

“Huh.”

Miho, who was still lying face down on her desk in English class in the 4th period after eating, trembled between her brows.

“… It will rain.”

At her murmur her, several children looked out of her window and choked and laughed.
It was because there was not even dark clouds, let alone rain.

“It will rain. Really.”

Miho couldn’t understand the reaction of the kids, but she added one more word without even knowing it.
What is this feeling?
She wasn’t very good. She was just telling the truth, so why is she laughing?

Even that smile wasn’t the one Hyeonu used to show us.
Some bad laugh.

‘I hate it… I want to go home quickly.’

When I went home, I could eat a lot of delicious food, I had a soft bed, I didn’t have to force myself to sit in a chair all the time, and I had a dad and a mom who always played with me .

‘I hate school. I won’t come to school from tomorrow.’

The moment I muttered that to myself, by the time the 4th period was about to come to an end… One or two drops of water began to form on the window.

Miho, who saw that, she said without realizing it, she had the same laugh that the other children had shown earlier.

“Look, Miho said it was going to rain.”
“…”

The children who heard this only flinched a little, and soon quickly got busy sending messages to their parents.
Some even called before class was over.

Only the homeroom teacher of the 1st grade class 3, Song Jeong-sin, who saw that, had to talk busily.

“Guys, what did the teacher say you should do to use your phone in class?”
“I said I had to get permission. By the way, teacher, it’s raining. If I don’t tell my mother quickly, she won’t be able to come.”
“… First of all, those who have a phone will call home, and for those who do not have a phone, the teacher has some spares in their umbrellas, so I will give them out.”

At that, Noah said to Miho.

“Unni, Noah will contact Dad.”
“Yeah, okay.”

「Tolong!」

However, before contacting Kim Hyun-woo, Kim Hyun-woo contacted me first.

[Kim Hyun-woo: Guys, Dad is on his way with an umbrella.]

“Kyaang!”

Dad is good too.
Hyunwoo Kim was good.
Just looking at the message made me happy, happy, and fun.

[Kim Mi-ho: Oh, come quickly.]
[Kim Noah: Thank you, Dad.]

“Hehe…”

Miho and Noah.

In fact, the two of them were children who didn’t care too much about going in the rain, but they both smiled as they looked at each other because they were happy that Kim Hyun-woo insisted on coming.

It felt good.
Dad is coming.

No matter where we were, I had the feeling that Dad always saw us and took care of us.

“Okay, mom is coming.”
“My mother is coming too.”
“Sir, an umbrella…”

Glancing, Bonnie, as if the class had already ended.
Everyone was noisy and chatting. As the rain begins to pour, the voices of children resonate throughout.

“Shh, shh! Quietly… The class next to you is still in class. So, let’s lower our voice a little bit more. Yes, Seohwan, here is your umbrella.”
“Thank you.”

Should I be quiet when the class next to me is in class?
If everyone is sharing meals, am I not able to eat as much as I want?
The class isn’t fun, but I have to take it…

‘I don’t know. I don’t know a thing.’

Miho couldn’t understand ‘why’ he had to do that.
Besides, that kid didn’t know ‘why’ he was like that again.

Other children contact their parents or even borrow an umbrella from the teacher… I’m sitting in the corner and pretending nothing’s wrong.
Miho could tell just by looking at her eyes in her.
That child was more anxious than anyone here right now.

Why?
Borrow an umbrella, or contact your parents.

If it’s a problem that can be solved with just one of these two, why are you sitting there and struggling alone?

“Oh Deok-ah, have you contacted your parents?”
“No…I don’t have a phone. I don’t know if it will come or not. He probably won’t come.”
“Then do you have an umbrella?”
“… No.”

Miho admired a little.
He just thought he was a book reader in front of him, because Song Jeong-shin was asking about him if he noticed the same thing he saw.

‘How did you know?!’

It was natural for him to find out.
Because I’ve been through this a few times. But, how did she know the teacher?

For the first time, Miho felt that Song Jung-shin was a little bit of a great person.

“Then, the teacher will lend you an umbrella. Write that today and go home.”
“Yes…”

In the end, if you’re going to get an umbrella, you should have started from the beginning.
Feeling frustrated, Miho let out a small sigh.

“Really… I don’t know.”

The school was really full of things I didn’t know.
To be sure, it was still not fun.

“Ding dong dang dong!”

The only thing that excites Miho is that classes are over as of now… There was only the sound of a bell signifying that it was okay to go home from school.

“Kyaaaaang!”

He let out a roar of joy, but when he glanced to the side, it seemed that he wasn’t the only one who was excited.
Everyone was laughing and chatting loudly.
Seeing that, Miho started to get even more excited.

“Does Noah want to go home soon?”
“Yes, sister!”

The half next to it, the half next to it, I could feel it getting louder. Even upstairs, I can feel something rumbling.

“Now, everyone, today’s class ends here. On the way home, don’t leak through side streets such as stationery stores, arcades, and Internet cafes, and go straight home. Okay? And as I always say, when someone I don’t know buys me something delicious or asks you to give me directions, I strongly hate it or say I don’t know. OK?”

After hearing that, Noah looked at Miho and said.

“Sister, did you hear? You shouldn’t follow someone you don’t know just because they buy you something delicious.”
“… Miho knows that much too. Why are you saying that while looking at Miho?”

Noah flinched and then subtly turned her head away.

“Because my sister is so precious.”
“Ohhh! I see!”

Actually, it was because she was worried that ‘if she was a sister, she might follow the food’, but Noah didn’t bother to say that.
This is because, unlike other children, she has already learned to notice others and to be considerate of others.

Because, when she didn’t, what awaited Noah was always merciless beatings and agonizing hunger.

“Let’s go, Noah!”
“Yes, sister.”

I don’t know what it is, but Miho and Noah moved in the direction of the other kids.
It was toward the main entrance at the right end of the school.
And it was also the door where Miho and Noah entered the school today.

“Yaya! It’s noisy, so everyone should be quiet, and those who are going should get out of here quickly. It gets in the way of cleaning.”

Flinch…

As Miho and Noah walked out the door, they stopped involuntarily at the sound of her nervous voice.
Then, when I turned my head, I saw men who were not adults, but taller and bigger than them, holding brooms and rolling mop and cleaning the front door.

Miho and Noah.

Despite the fact that both of them have faced adults who are far scarier than those 4th graders, their bodies stiffen for no reason.

I didn’t know why.

Is it because all the other kids are watching the 4th grade?
Noah also got scared for nothing and shuddered at her.

Seeing that, Miho put strength into her eyes her in reverse, and held Noah’s hand her.

“Noah, don’t worry. Do you have a sister?”

I don’t want to come to school…
I have a feeling that if Noah wants to come to school tomorrow too, she will have to come along. Because she is her sister
She couldn’t let her brother be scared all alone.

Even the 4th graders who were doing the cleaning quietly shut up and start to notice when the parents of the children start to come.

“Mom!”
“Did you listen to the teacher at school today?”
“Yes!”
“Let’s go home.”

One two… Even among the children I saw in the same class, I see her mother visiting and holding hands with her.

Some kids were just running around with schoolbags on their heads.

“Hey, why aren’t you coming…”

Since the other kids went first, Miho puffed out her cheeks for no reason.

“Sister, you will be back soon.”

This is the moment Noah’s words end.

“Woah!”
“Kyaaaaang!”
“Kyaa!”

Seeing Kim Hyun-woo suddenly jumped out from the side and surprised him, Miho laughed as if he was going to die for fun, and Noah was startled and tried to fall back, but soon after confirming that it was his father, he hugged him with the happiest smile in the world.

Also, Dad was the best.

* * *

It’s fucking real.
Even though I arrived at school five minutes early, I couldn’t get into school easily.

“Don’t you see the notice here? You must not come in. Go.”

The vigilance of the security guard was enormous.

[Sangsang Elementary School Access Control Guide]
[For children’s educational activities and safety, outsiders are prohibited from entering, so if you have business, please use the security guard at the front gate and use the back gate parking lot for vehicles.]
[Closing time: 7:30 am – 6:00 pm – No waiting at pavilions and benches in the playground]
[It is not open during educational activities.]

It’s a guide, I can see it too.

However, I couldn’t understand why they didn’t let me in when all the other mothers let me in.
It’s not like they’re sneaking in, they said they’re going to get permission from you at the security guard’s office at the main gate as you pointed out.

“I brought an umbrella because my daughters are attending this school. Can’t we?”
“At first glance, it seems like a college student, but don’t make strange noises and go back quickly. If you continue, I will call the police.”

I’m polite if I’m polite, but if I’m offended, I close my eyes and open my eyes as I listen to the unpleasant guard.
I barely endured the fact that I almost reached the limit of my patience for a moment.

It was a situation that could be misunderstood.

My current age is 22 years old.
Seonwoo Yerang is 24 years old and Hwang Bonayoung is 20 years old.

Seriously, at this age, where in the world is a parent of a first grader in elementary school?
No matter how fast I got married, 27 years old was the best.

Even these days, I don’t tend to have children that early, and more than half of the people passing by me now were at least mid-thirties.

But no matter who sees it, a guy in his early 20s, who wouldn’t be weird wearing a high school uniform if treated more generously, would be reluctant to visit on a rainy day.
But, what do you mean it’s true?

“I am not a college student, I am really a father of two children. You may misunderstand, just trust me and let me in, and I’ll prove it. If you are uneasy, you can go with me.”
“Whoa… Father, go to sleep and die. When someone like you does this, only the kids get scared. So hurry up and go I’d rather call him uncle. What…”

Even though the other person treats me with respect, the reason for the displeasure is that.

Apart from being respectful, he is unkind and doesn’t even seem to understand at all.
I tried to make concessions as much as I could, but it was stressful in many ways to have such meaningless conversations going on and on.

‘Still, let’s be patient.’

Because it is such a strict security guard, can’t we entrust our precious children to this school?
This security guard was just doing his job well.
Rather, she should have complimented him.

… She hypnotized herself and calmed her down once more.

“I’ll show you a picture, you’ll know when you see this. See, you know now, right?”

I thought this would work, so I took a picture of a sea trip that I took with her family and were happy a while ago and showed it to her.
The guard bastard, no, that’s what the security guard said.

“Isn’t it synthetic? Besides, what are you trying to see while showing pictures of kids who don’t look alike? If you keep doing this, I will call the real cops.”
“…”

I can’t take it anymore, fuck.
How many times do you have to endure it?

Even in the middle of this, when I think that my daughters will be waiting for me anxiously, every minute and every second is a waste.

“What is this bastard doing! Ugh!”
“Aren’t you speechless! What to say to me!”

I lightly shook off the guard and went inside.
Then, as expected, I see the two daughters hanging out at the entrance of the school building.

“Woah!”

He surprised me playfully, and how cute the reactions were again.
Even so, jumping into my arms and hugging her is so lovely that I feel like dying.

“Why are you so late!”

Did something sad happen at school?
Unlike usual, as if I was a little annoyed, Miho grumbled, so I apologized and made a small excuse.

“There were circumstances, circumstances.”

I said holding Noah and Miho in my arms.

“Noah, Miho. Should I give Dad a kiss as usual?”
“Kyaaaaang! Side!”
“Dad, I love you. Side.”

Receiving a kiss from the two children, I smiled confidently.

Look at this, uncle.
Are they really my daughters?

Wouldn’t this have cleared the doubt?

“…”

The security guard, who was rushing this way, finally understood… I quickly take my phone out of my pocket. And 112…

Stop, man!
It’s fortunate that it ended with a light happening, otherwise the police would have been dispatched for real.

If you’ve done this, I’d honestly believe you.
Conversely, I am hurt.
