Chapter 289 – Chapter 289

〈 Kim Hyeon-seong 〉

Dad sighed lightly as he watched his son leave the apartment complex with his family on the veranda, which was incomparably pleasant compared to when he lived in the villa.

It wasn’t a sigh.
It was just a strange feeling that made me out of breath without realizing it.

He still seems like a baby in the eyes of his parents, but it felt so strange that such a guy would get married and give birth to a child just like the train they had stepped on.

“…”

Furthermore, he was only 22 years old.
No matter how many decades ago, it was much harder to live than now, and in many ways, even if you say you got married early.
Even in those days, I couldn’t live like that when I was 22 years old.

How much more can a 22-year-old present a house to their parents and give them such joy?

“Whoa…”

My mouth is so itchy it’s driving me crazy.
He just wanted to brag like crazy to the neighbors that he had actually moved into a nice house and that he had a son he was proud of.
It felt so good.
Now I can understand why people keep bragging about themselves for so long on social media.
But it’s not because I don’t know how to use the eagle stroke, neither my dad nor my mom.
Having lived my life for nearly 50 years, I have already learned through my life that I never boast about anything.
Good things last for a moment, bad things last a long time.
Even if it’s impossible, at least when you’re sane, the most careful thing in the world is to watch your mouth.

“Big…”

Dad drank a can of beer leaning on the veranda like he saw in the drama.
It tastes good.

– Fat, fat, fat!

Then a phone call rang.

[Kim Hyun-min]

Older brother
He was the eldest father to Hyeonu, and at the same time he was the most popular person in our family.
It’s great because I’ve been working as a bank teller for nearly 20 years.

At the same time, no matter how much time has passed, due to his past education his, he was a great, but a bit difficult older brother to his father his.

What did you call for?
Are you trying to match the story of the Chuseok schedule? About when to go to my ancestor’s oxygen.

“Yes, brother.”
-Oh, Hyunseong. How are you these days?

Dad ate and laughed involuntarily.

“You’ve been well, right. I am happier than ever.”
-Oh yeah? I’m glad. Envy you.
“Isn’t your older brother doing well? Whatever it is, Hyun-soo is all grown up now, and Hyun-mi has just returned from studying abroad.”
-That too…

Something weird feels
Dad didn’t live his life for a day or two, but he knew it through experience. I had a gut feeling that it wouldn’t be a very pleasant phone call.
That’s why it’s better to hang up quickly than to make a long conversation for no reason.

“Ah, brother. I’m sorry, but now…”
-Hyeonseong-ah, I’m really sorry for saying this all of a sudden, and I know you’re shameless. Do you have any money

However, his eldest father, Kim Hyun-min, was the first to open his mouth his. He was a smart man as he had been a bank teller for a long time.

“Whoa…”

Dad let out a big sigh.
This is a real sigh

If you ask me when was the most embarrassing moment in my life, this is exactly the case. It’s difficult even if a really close best friend asks you to lend money, and even though you know in your head and heart that if your older brother asks you to lend you money, you should vehemently refuse it right away, but it’s not easy in reality.

It is more heartbreaking to be in a position where you may have to lend in reverse.

On the one hand, I didn’t even understand.
About why a person who is much better off than he is, and even more so goes to a bank, to borrow money from himself.

“I have money saved up to open a shop with her wife her.”
-Ah, then my brother will pay you back really quickly. How could it not be 100 million? Please do me a favor, Hyunseong. I’ve never borrowed money from you in my entire life.

That sounds funny.
When I was young, I don’t know how many times I was beaten by my older brother and robbed of money. Of course, in those days, that was the norm.

Because it was a generation where the bullies in the neighborhood stole even their shoes.

“…”

1 million…
To be honest, living in an apartment worth 7.9 billion won, it is also true that the amount of 100 million won has become a little lighter.
If he was his old self his, he would definitely be his older brother his, no matter how much money it was, even if it was 100 million won.
He may have lent it thinking it was money he didn’t have.

No, it certainly would have been.
But not now.

None of the funds that went into the house he was living in now belonged to him. Not even my son’s money.
It was a house that his son’s wife had given her as a gift to her good heart her.

‘How did you find happiness?’

Now, no matter how much my older brother is, he lent me 100 million won, so I didn’t want to worry my son and his wife.

“No.”
– Hyunseong, please. Uh? Because it pays off soon
“It’s not okay. Hang up. I hope you never call me again about this.”
-Hey, Kim Hyun… !

At the end, before the older brother’s voice that was trying to bully him was over, Dad hung up the phone.
After that, I got a few more calls, but my dad didn’t bother answering.

“Whoa…”

Sighs continue to come out of the temple.
The feeling that was good just a moment ago suddenly plummeted and I was out of breath.

Even though I know that I am not the one who did the wrong thing, I wonder if I spoke too harshly, and I notice it… For no reason, the voice of my brother from a while ago lingers in my head.

If you think about it again, you might be able to lend me 100 million won.

In the end, my dad never called my eldest dad again.

“What kind of exercise are you doing all of a sudden?”

Her mother her, who was walking to the veranda after finishing washing her dishes, tilted her head, and she soon put on an apologetic expression.

“You’re not paying attention to what I just said, are you? Really, being a man…”
“It’s not like that!”

I was exercising because I knew that a man’s confidence comes from a healthy body, but my dad was a little unfair because he was misunderstood.

All of this is to protect the family!

* * *

Round and round again Monday.
It’s just one of many Mondays that exist throughout the year, but today was more special than I thought.

It is because it is the day when Miho and Noah go to school alone without the help of their parents.

“Is this right? Would this be right?”
“Yeah, that’s right. You bastard! It’s been this shit all day since yesterday. Hey, you also went to school on your own when you were in the first year of elementary school.”
“Hey… !”

I know I’m overdoing it too.
There was no way Miho and Noah, first graders in elementary school, who were much older in terms of actual age, could not fail to go to elementary school, which was only 15 minutes away.

But these kids were a little more special.
This is because after being summoned to this world, it was always attached to me except for very few occasions.

Thinking that such children not only spend time at school, but now go to school themselves, so I felt new and worried.

“Guys, do you remember the way to school?”
“Yes, Dad.”

Miho replied with a tired expression.

“I went back and forth five times yesterday alone. Even a monkey would understand that.”
“My dear first daughter. Sometimes you seem to think of yourself as better than a monkey.”
“Oops! Noah, let’s go!”
“Yes? Ah yes! Sister!”

Miho, with a shocked expression, took Noa’s hand her and left her house.
By the way…

[Current time]
[AM 7:20]

Didn’t you leave too early?
Considering that the first period starts at 9:00 a.M., To be honest, even if I go to school right now, I know the door won’t be open.
It was a time when only the central entrance was open.

“Before I worry about this, I should try following it even if it’s suspicious, right?”

I put on the sunglasses I had prepared in case something like this happened.
The wives who saw this said one word at a time.

“Sometimes you see Hyeonu being so damn good at things like this.”
“What’s up, I’m just cute. Oppa is 22 years old, but he still has a corner like a child, so I think it’s better.”
“Well, what kind of dad would put so much effort into playing a joke? These days, even YouTubers don’t go that far.”

[Is it really fun to live like that?]

“… Fun.”

No, it’s more fun because I live like this. Life is free every time, so if you’re going to live it, why live it? If people are going to do it, they should do it with sincerity.

Anyway, I chased after the children wearing black sunglasses.

At 7:20, it may not be time for elementary school students to go to school, but it seems that it is time for middle and high school students to go to school.
Children in school uniform diverge here and there at the crossroads on their way to elementary school, middle school, and high school.

On the other hand, there was no hesitation in Miho’s steps her on the way to school.
And…

[Strawberry Stationary]

Bookstore?

“Kyaang! Miho is here!”
“Oh, you came early. If I had slept an extra 10 minutes today, I would have been in big trouble.”
Grandpa, how do I turn this on?”

I was speechless for a moment as I watched Miho squatting with Noah in front of the small arcade machine at the entrance of the stationery store.
So, it doesn’t mean that I left home early because I wanted to do some entertainment before going to school.

‘Oh my God…’

No, let alone an amusement machine like that in the first place.
If there was a game I wanted to play, I could tell Seonwoo Yerang and have it ready at home. You can even make a small arcade, but why are you here?

‘By the way, it’s easy to understand again.’

What a strange person.
It felt different from doing it at home and squatting on a small chair at a stationery store when I was young.

“Let Noah do the same.”
“Yes, sister.”

Still, I like the way he takes care of Noah.

[Penguin Sisters!]

“Ohhh, Kazuah!”
“Ha ha! Go for it…”

Tadak, tadak! Tadak, tadak!

By the way, it’s 7:30.
Seeing my daughters squatting in front of the stationery store since morning and playing games, I feel a bit ashamed.
Miho, who had been playing the game for about an hour, leaving the distance of 5 minutes to elementary school like that, raised her body with a satisfied expression on her face.

“Huh, it was fun. She has a tongue who comes along every day when she doesn’t want to do this. After school, I only played a few games.”
“Uh, sister… But from tomorrow, I’ll try to come out a little later. If the tail is long, it is caught. Dad and mom are sure to be suspicious when we come out like this every time.”

After all, Noah is smart… I never thought a first grader in elementary school would already think that far.
But a child is a child.

Daddy is already spying on you guys.

“Installment, installment! Please give me this with Chetti and Ttodol, and this and this too. I have money here.”

Yeah, for some reason, Miho wanted to get cash from Seonwoo Yerang.
It was all for writing at the stationery.

“Hey, is it 50,000 won again? From now on, ask your mom and dad for at least 10,000 won. Understand? Otherwise, Grandpa will suffer a lot.”
“Ong, don’t you like 50,000 won?”
“I like the 50,000 won bill better, but my grandfather says the 10,000 won bill is better.”
“Okay. From now on, I will ask Yeerang for 10,000 won.”

On the way back today, I thought it would be a good idea to stop by the bank and find about 100 won bills. Certainly, even if you are like me, taking out a 50,000 won bill from a stationery store is a bit burdensome.

“This is Mihoger, this is Noah’s. Milk is available from today, and the kids told me to buy Chetti.”
“Thank you, sister.”
“It’s okay. It’s natural for a sister to take care of her younger brother her.”
“Hehe…”

It was not natural for Noah, so it can be seen that Noah is very happy at Miho’s words his.
Seeing that, I stood up with a satisfied expression.

“I don’t think there’s any need to worry about this, right?”

However, make sure you enter the school gate to be sure that the kids have been chasing you.
Let’s take a look at just the beginning of the first period.

“Hello, teacher!”

Miho and Noah, bowing and bowing to their belly button, are so cute.
I’m dying to see you safely enter the classroom and waving cutely with the friends you’ve become accustomed to now.
And…

“What is the first class today?”
“… Let’s watch a movie.”
“Math!”

It’s true that I say that because I want to watch a movie alone…

“Then everyone, please turn to page 17.”

Even falling asleep with my face on the desk exactly 13 seconds after class started is a bit…

「Thingdiri~ Dingdiri ring~」

It’s really nice to go out to the playground with a soccer ball with the kids with saliva on their mouths, as if asking when they fell asleep when the break time bell rings…

After the 4th period was over, I checked on Miho, who was sleeping until lunchtime, and I muttered with a very serious expression.

“Shouldn’t I send you to the academy?”

Meanwhile, Miho, who came out with a hearty meal, wiped her forehead and caught her breath.

“Huh, I went to school hard today too. Now I have to stop by the stationery store and play some more games before going home.”

While saying that, when everyone got on the shuttle to the Taekwondo dojo and English academy, I thought of Miho once again as I saw Miho squatting in front of the stationery store and playing games.

“I think I should really send him to school.”

Wouldn’t it be helpful for the future of the child to force him to study at that level?
