Chapter 52 – Chapter 52

I slept really well.
These days, I am happy even when I sleep every day, and it has improved to the point where I can feel the feeling of refreshment, so I enjoy living in many ways.
There must be the power of blessing, but the biggest reason for that is…

“Drreong, Pishuu… Drurling, Pishuu…”

The sound of Miho’s snoring coming from the left.

“Hehe, hee, hee…”

On the right, there was Noah, who got up before me, touched his phone, and let out a laugh that was hard to hear normally.

‘When did you come into my arms?’

It was because I had two children next to me that I was able to greet the morning in such a full mood.
I carefully moved my hand and stroked Miho and Noah’s hair.

“Lying down…”
“Dad…”

Then, as a reflex, two children rub their heads against mine.
If even one of these small reactions is so cute and lovely, did I finally have bean pods in my eyes?
Or do all parents have the same mind as me?
Have I become a parent who can sincerely consider these children as children?

While thinking about this and that, I wanted to enjoy this moment right now.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to sleep a little longer.’

I haven’t fully woken up yet, and it’s quite nice to close my eyes while smelling the children’s soft yet nice scent…

“Tonnunu, tonguenu!”
“Dad, oh, good night, good night… ” …”

I stroked my hair a little, and seeing the two children who jumped up quickly, I definitely got older.
You realize that these children are children.

Even Miho was casually playing by picking up the flesh above my eyelid with his index finger and thumb and pulling it.

“Tongue, tongue, tongue!”
“Oh, sister! Oh, to Dad, if you do that, that, that, ah, no…”

Eventually, I had to put any further sleep out of my head.
I’m also completely broken anyway.

“Why?”

Still, I wondered if there must be a reason for calling me so anxiously.

“I’m hungry.”
“…”
“Miho, I don’t think your belly will stick to your back.”
“Hmm… Let’s see. Miho, say ah and open your mouth.”
“Miho is hungry, but why are you looking at her mouth? Oh~”

I carefully checked the inside of Miho, who opened her mouth obediently.

“None.”
“What?”
“A black hole or a group of beggars. I had a very reasonable suspicion that there might be at least one hiding in your belly.”
“Oong, is there something like that on Miho’s belly?”
“Sometimes I think it’s even weirder without it.”

Sneaking up, I lifted off the clothes Miho was wearing and looked at her stomach.
This was great as it is.

Apparently, I wanted to eat and sleep enough to make my stomach full at dawn, but when I woke up after a night’s sleep, my stomach went back to its original state.
No, above all…

“Why am I not gaining weight?”

It was Miho who ate enough to make his stomach full every day. Does that mean you consume as much kinetic energy as you eat?
Nor was it.

‘Is this really a natural constitution?’

As I tilted my head, I heard a voice.

[Haaam, that’s right.]

… I woke up this year too.

[You slept late yesterday, didn’t you?]

Is it because of me?
No, more than that, are you even setting the time to sleep with me?

[It’s because you don’t know when or how. After all, I tend to close my eyes only when you sleep.]

It’s scary, you crazy bitch!
He’s a total stalker himself.

[Stalker! That’s rude! I’m just trying to let you know if there’s any problem or if there’s any information I can teach you like now!]

“…”

It was an excuse that didn’t make any sense at all.

‘So, is it really a natural constitution?’

[Because it is an elf.]
[Elves are originally said to be blessed with the most beautiful beauty in the world. That’s why they can always keep their best looks and body.]

“I’m glad I didn’t gain weight even though I ate a lot. I’m a little jealous.”

[Not necessarily so.]

The voice said bitterly.

[Because when a beauty that can be maintained under any circumstances and a human full of greed meet, that will lead to tragedy.]

“…”

It’s a tragedy…
I looked at Miho for a moment, then forced a smile and asked the two of them.

“What shall we eat today? Let’s see. Is it even Saturday today? You should eat something delicious.”

Miho and Noah answered.

“Chicken!”
“No, Noah likes anything Daddy wants…”

It seemed like I had to decide on the menu for today.

[Current time]
[PM 12:14]

Maybe it was because I slept late yesterday, but lunch was already ready.

“Simply wash your hair and face, and let’s go out and eat today.”

It might be too soon for Miho, who still has a lot of fear, especially Noah.
I didn’t think it was good to run away too much.

Let’s try a little at a time.
Even if these children don’t have me, even for a future where they can always shine confidently in front of someone.

‘Still, I might be a little disappointed.’

If the children who depend on me like this suddenly grow up and go far away…
While thinking that, I quietly checked my contact information.

[List of blocked numbers]
-Mom
-Dad

“Really, you bastard.”

Embarrassed, ashamed, and apologetic, it made me wonder if it would be better to just shove my head into the corner of a desk and die.

Fuck…
No, the dog is better than me.

[Do you really want to unblock?]

I pressed ‘yes’ and knew that calling right away would become more difficult as time passed, but I didn’t have the confidence to call my parents right away.
I’m so sorry and ashamed, but I just wanted to give this unfilial man a little more time.

[Block has been lifted.]

I put the phone in my pocket and said.

“Take off your clothes on both of them.”
“Ok! Alright!”
“Yes, Dad.”

I took the two of them to the bathroom and washed my hair and face.

“Tell me when the water is hot.”
“Kyaaaaang, what’s got in Miho’s eyes!”
“Don’t rub. Stay as is. I’ll wash it for you.”
“Ugh, follow me… It stings.”
“Then why do you open your eyes when you wash your hair?”
“Miho, you haven’t opened your eyes!”

Even washing his hair her once is a war.

Hehe…”

Noah is so calm.

“Ah, Daddy is washing Noah’s hair… ” …”
“Isn’t the water hot?”
“Me, not at all! No, Noah… Oh, I’m just angry, happy for bothering my dad… Oh, no sin, sorry.”

Wash both of their heads like that.

“Hey, do it. Huh!”
“Kheung!”
“From now on, you should be able to wash your face and wash your hair by yourself. Understand?”
“Ok! Alright!”

Miho is really good at answering.
After washing my face, I wiped the dripping hair of the two children with a towel and began to dry them with a hair dryer.

「Wheeing!」

I just realized, this cheap hair dryer.
It was fine when drying my hair, but the heat was insufficient for drying the girl’s long hair in many ways.
I’ll have to buy a new one with a nice one.
Above all, I have two children, but I have one body and one hair dryer.
I couldn’t dry them all at the same time.

“Heh, it’s warm…”
“No, Noah is that, just Hwang… Hah…”

It’s a war, it’s a war
Lastly, I applied lotion because I thought it might not damage the kids skin, and I also thought that I should buy skin lotion for children.
I even thought of going to a hair salon to get my hair trimmed.
They are pretty as they are because they have really nice hair and nice colors, but when I was drying their hair, I naturally felt that way.

“Both of you wear slippers. I’m going to the store near here.”
“Wow!”
“… Yes, Dad.”

Miho seemed to be okay to some extent, but Noah was a child who shivered even when he went to the convenience store yesterday.
Even today, if a stranger approached me, I might close my eyes tightly and sit down with my legs weakened. Then again, I washed myself clean and wore clean clothes, but I couldn’t help myself, blaming myself for soiling them.

“In that case, how about it?”
“… Wow!”

When I held Noa in one hand and lifted her to her chest her, Noah was a little surprised, but she soon smiled warmly and hugged me by the neck.

“So, Joe, good… Dad…”
“Okay. What about Miho?”

At my question, Miho climbed up on me as if he were a monkey, and he built a nest on top of my head.
What is this kid’s true identity?

“Miho, you are good at climbing trees. Because he is it’s an elf!”

… Oh, it was an elf.

“Wow, that’s great. Uh, sister!”

When Noah exclaimed in admiration, Miho said with a puzzled expression.

“I’m not happy at all even if a dragon says that.”
“…”

That might be
How can I say such a compliment from a dragon that can kill an elf with a snort… Of course, Noah didn’t mean it that way.

“Let’s go.”
“Gazu~”

Of course, I had no intention of going to crowded or noisy places.
It would have been too much of a loss if I had chosen a place with such a high level of difficulty from the beginning and conversely, the children were shocked and the condition deteriorated.
So, this was the place I chose.

[Gimbab Hell]

“Ong, we squeeze as much as we do.”
“Whoa…”

Upon entering a gimbap restaurant in a neighborhood with no one inside, Miho looked around curiously, and Noah let out a sigh of relief.

“Welcome, Gun…”

Still, she said that the auntie who had met her face with me a few times naturally tried to call me her bachelor, but when she saw the children in my arms, she quietly shut her mouth.

Looking at the lady like that, I quietly took a deep breath.
It wasn’t just the children who came here to improve their condition. In order for me to change in the future, and also to become a much better father than I am now.
We had to work together with the children.

“Oh, hello. Old lady… Hey, this is my, that, my…”

Can do.
No, I had to.

I was a man who could
You can do it!

“… These are my daughters…”

Fuck, what’s that creeping voice at the end?
I was in no position to say anything to Noah.

“These girls are so cute! Uh, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen such cute kids in my life. At first the gun… No, she was surprised how surprised she thought you were carrying a doll.”
“Yes, it is cute… My… Because they are daughters.”

Said this time.
In a much louder voice than before, he spoke clearly until the very end.

“Okay, so don’t brag about your daughter and sit in a comfortable place. And, I do say that a little more often than usual. If you don’t do it, the kids will be surprised and like it.”

When I looked to the side with my reddened face and my face flushed with heat from embarrassment, I saw children with wide-eyed eyes looking at me.

“Yes, Miho… I am the daughter of Tongunu.”
“No, Noah! Oh, it’s my father’s daughter… !”

I was moved by the words of the two children, and I said one last, really, last time.

“They are my daughters.”

A smile crept across his lips.
Finally, we did it.
