Chapter 35 – Chapter 35

Suddenly, I opened the bathroom door immediately.
Because this was the only place where space was separated in this narrow studio. If Miho was playing hide-and-seek as a joke, there was no other place to hide.

“…”

Empty toilet.
All I see is the glass wall of the bathroom that is half broken because it is old and the toiletries that I have seen every day… No, it’s different.

[New Children’s Toothpaste Strawberry Flavor]

There was toothpaste with a cute character named ” and a small toothbrush that could be used by a child in a cute character mug.

“Where is he now, at this time…”

Stunned, I raised my cell phone after calming my dizziness and dizziness as much as possible.

「Tumbling」

It was me who did not tremble even when I became a eunuch with erectile dysfunction and was kicked out of the host bar. Although he was discouraged, he was not afraid of life.
But now my hands were shaking like crazy with fear.

[010-59888811… ]

“Calm down, calm down and press.”

I was able to dial Miho’s number right after she reached out her hand and held me by the shoulder, calming me down quietly.
And…

– I like to play the most, gather my friends~!

My heart sank as I heard the familiar ringtone that I had heard that it would teach me how to call countless times over the past few days rang right next to me.

“Run away… Did you?”

Even running away is a big problem.

“It might be better if I run away.”

No matter where Miho hides or how far she runs away, I will bring her back somehow, and I intend to do so unconditionally.
But, didn’t I hear about such a story at a convenience store a while ago?

“Recently, there have been reports of child violence or kidnapping in this area.”

Kidnapping, kidnapping…
What if that’s the case?

He was a child with many wounds to humans.
If I get a bigger wound here, the wound that is barely healing, that is healing, may open again and be irreversible.
No, it wasn’t that it wasn’t a problem even if it was a runaway.

“Even if I did a little better… I made a lot of mistakes earlier, and I was too indecisive to try to hide it…”
“Hey! Hyunwoo Kim, fuck you. Come to your senses!”
“…”
“You can do that kind of regret and self-blame later. You asshole, it’s different from self-blame and regret. The child is gone! You don’t have to move your body right now! Fuck, and it’s not like I’m not at all responsible for this…”
“Right… Noona, then let’s separate and find Miho together.”
“Okay. That’s what I was thinking.”

“Bang!”

Forgetting that I had to close the front door again, I kicked out of the house, barefoot and in my sneakers, and ran and ran, frantically looking around.

“Kim Mi-ho!”

Early in the morning when all the neighbors are sleeping.
Even if I’m just going out, I tend to keep the minimum line, so I didn’t even dry my hair with a hair dryer at times like this.
But now I didn’t have time to worry about that.
I ran around screaming my voice so loud that it resonated throughout the neighborhood.

“You crazy bastard! It’s 3 in the morning, shut up!”
“Sorry! Miho Kim!”
“Ah, what are you doing bastard! Fuck!”

Even while listening to the swearing, I ran around the whole town with sweat dripping from my body. She even tried to find out where Miho might be hiding.
It was so sudden, so surprising, that I was dizzy and dizzy.

“Huh, huh, huh…”

The time spent looking for Miho was 10, 20 minutes… Slowly, the longer it went on, the more things I had done wrong for her came to mind, and at the same time, the many things she received from Miho kept running through her head.

“Fuck the dog, bitch…”

How much effort did he make to become a good father on the subject of his promise to be a good father?
Did you really try desperately?
Or did he just say it with his mouth and take it easy?

“Tadak, tadak!”

“Ouch, ooh…”

… In fact, even if I didn’t host, wouldn’t I have been able to raise it properly if I worked harder and worked harder?
After all, because of my greed…

“Sister, did you find it?”

Even after going around the whole town three times, there was no trace of him, so I called and called, but only a negative answer came from Seonwoo Yerang’s lips to her.

– First of all, let’s meet in front of the house again. Even though you’re listening over the phone right now, your breathing is crazy. Then you fall first
“I’m fine, haha, more than that, Miho… That child has trauma and mental scars. Without me, I can’t even talk properly in front of other people. My complexion quickly deteriorates, and I can’t even breathe properly…”
-What?
“Because he’s like that, I have to find him.”
-But first, Hyeonu, go home… Uh? Tea, I found it! Hey, here it is, here it is, in front of the house! It’s at the door. The child is here! Red…

Before Seonwoo Yerang could finish talking, I roughly stuffed her cell phone into her pocket and kicked it to the ground.
I was out of breath, and my heart was beating like it was going to burst, but fortunately my legs were still moving according to my will.

“Whoops, hooks, whoops… !”

As he ran like that, he saw Miho standing in front of the house holding Seonwoo Yerang’s hand, looking frightened, just as Seonwoo Yerang had said.
The moment I saw it, I realized what it means to have mixed feelings.

A sense of relief.
Anger over why he ran away.
Weirdness about me.

Sorry for making you run away, etc… So many emotions flooded me at once that I couldn’t open my mouth properly.

“You…”

Is that why?
Before me, Miho opened his mouth while shedding tears.

“Sorry…”
“…”
“I’m sorry, heuang, Miho, Miho, I didn’t want to trouble you!”
“… !”
“Tongue, Tonguenu’s bar, it’s just getting in the way. Miho, I don’t know how to do anything. Because I only receive it from Tongunu every day… Because I can’t do anything.”

Seonwoo Yerang and I instantly opened our eyes wide. Seonwoo Yerang even covered her mouth with her own hand.

“Okay, so I came out… I went out.”

Miho cried out.

“I have nowhere else to go… Miho, there’s nowhere else to go but here. … I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Miho, I have nowhere else to go… Aaaaang.”

The tears were sweet.
I don’t even understand all of the feelings of this child who, after wearing the first T-shirt and cheap pink slippers, kept wandering around the neighborhood until his knees and ankles turned red, and finally came back here.
Even though it touched only 1 in 100 of them, it was so painful and delicate and innocent that it took a scumbag like me a long time to open her mouth.

“Hey, stupid!”
“Huuuuu!”
“This is your house.”

Gulp, swallowing her mucus and her tears with difficulty, I said as I hugged Miho tightly. He always talked excitedly to others, and said things that he had never said directly in front of him until it was too late.

“Because I am your father. It’s okay because you’re my daughter. Stay here, you can stay here.”
“Heuuuong, who likes the tongue, heuuuong, Miho… I mean it’s good here Whoops, whoops! Miho, I have nowhere else to go… I can’t do anything without my tongue. You idiot, you idiot, Miho, you’re a complete piece of shit…”
“No, it’s not like that. It’s okay, it’s okay…”
“Ugh! Ugh!”

The more I patted him, the louder Miho cried.
She continued to cry incessantly.

Then, finally, he shouted.

“It hurts, Dad… ! Whoops, whoops! Dad!”

I don’t know if that’s calling me, or if it’s calling the heavenly father I can’t meet anymore.
What is clear is that just as much as I took the first step, Miho mustered up the courage to take the first step.
It was certain that we got a little bit closer.

After crying for so long, I was able to confirm that all the lights in the houses around me were on. Well, it’s almost 4 in the morning.
It was strange that he didn’t wake up unless he was wearing earplugs because he was screaming at him. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but feel grateful that no one yelled at us or scolded us.

“If I get a chance, should I at least turn rice cakes?”
“It was like when I moved in. I’ll bring you some suitable gift meat later…”
“No, I became an older sister. I’ll buy it with my own money and return it. Anyway, this is a problem that happened between me and Miho.”
“Hey! If that’s the case, then I’m not entirely responsible… Ha, I don’t know I don’t know. Rather…”

Seonwoo Yerang, whose tears were as much as mine, approached Miho very carefully.
Seeing Miho wince exactly once every time Seonwoo Yerang took a step closer, Seonwoo Yerang couldn’t help but hesitate halfway through.
Even so, when I held Miho’s hand, Miho cautiously stepped forward.

“… Sorry.”

Seonwoo Yerang, who had narrowed the distance to some extent, lowered her head and said.

“Sorry. Whatever I say, it’s an excuse, but I wasn’t too mature. I hurt you by saying things I shouldn’t have said to you, and made this happen… I’m really sorry.”
“Wait, is it okay…”
“…”
“It was said that if someone apologizes, you accept it. If you do something wrong, apologize and accept it. Miho also apologized, but since someone accepted it, I will accept her unnie’s apology as well.”

At that moment, Seonwoo Ye-rang looked at Mi-ho as if he had gone crazy.
She looked like she couldn’t believe there was such a child in the world. Did she understand by now, to some extent, why I was so crazy about this kid?

“Chicken.”
“Chicken?”
“Do you like it?”

At her unexpected question her, Miho nodded her head with her eyes shining, as if it were a lie that she had just cried.

“Peck!”

Only the hoarseness of her voice was proof that Miho had let go of her throat and cried a little while ago.

“… Unnie can order all the chicken around here. Or will you do all the calculations in advance so that you won’t have enough to eat all your life until you die?”
“Ugh! Uh, is that possible? That, that kind of thing is nothing like soup!”
“Yes, my sister can. Unlike your incompetent father, he has plenty of money.”

It’s not wrong, but it sounds downright unlucky.

“Oh, oh oh… Uh, I don’t know if you want to be friends with your sister.”

Going beyond that again, you clever little bastard.
Miho Kim, who was like a pitiful and cute angel who just a moment ago cried and apologized saying that she was the only one and had nowhere to go, where did she go?

‘Is this why a child’s tears are the same as a crocodile’s?’

Inwardly, she muttered, but Seonwoo Yerang made an unexpected proposal.

“Then do you want to live with your sister? She’ll even buy her a place to live. She is much wider than here, much better, and she can do anything you want.”
“Sister! What are you talking about now…!”

I felt a sense of danger, fearing that Miho might be taken away, and when I hurriedly shouted, Miho held onto my index finger and said something.

“Miho, no matter how good the chicken is, who pecks the tongue more than the chicken.”
“…”
“The place where Tonnu is is, after all, Miho’s house. So, just buy chicken… Miho, my stomach is stuck to my back…”

At that moment, Seonwooyerang as well as me couldn’t help but smile.

“I don’t know if it would be okay to raise a child like you as a daughter.”

I had to feel a sense of danger that Seonwoo Yerang might steal Miho. Without knowing my speed, Miho is saying that she should not be possessed by Seonwoo Yerang’s capital.

“Ooh, let’s have a good time with our tongue…”

The young man has already learned the taste of money.
