Chapter 204 – Maniac Transplantation Case (6)

204

I sent Harin back home and hurriedly took a taxi and headed home.

She was nervous to death, but the taxi driver who happened to recognize her face kept talking to her, smiled and accepted it, and finally gave her autograph before sending it off.

Before her breakup, Harin bought her a ball cap and even wore her sunglasses, but she managed to recognize it.
… Well, my face should be a bit impressive.

Isn’t it me, the handsome guy who can’t be forgotten in her mind once she sees it?
Even so, because of the World Cup these days, no matter what channel you turn on all day long, only my face will be on display.

Is this the “Popularity” That seniors who wrote the legend of the 2002 World Cup semifinals were talking about?

“Welcome. You’re late. What about dinner?”
“Ate. Mom is?”
“You got tired of waiting, so we ate first.”

I entered the house thinking about miscellaneous things and saw a family watching TV in the living room.
Dad, Mom, Daye, and Daye’s parents.

After a meal, I quickly greeted the adults who were eating the fruit, and sat down.

“Thanks.”

But why are you sitting there
It’s not next to the centipede’s parents, why should it be between my parents… ?

“Oh, you are pretty. The only thing Minjun takes care of is everything.”
“No, Mother.”
“Yes, yes. You have to take care of your own room.”
“…….”

Mom making a fuss and Aunt Daye’s smiling heartily.
In addition, Daye, who is cosplaying as a true daughter-in-law.

What about this
Both my parents and Daye’s parents are making the relationship between me and Daye a fait accompli… When we’re not there, we call each other in-laws, and I can’t help but speak the truth to my parents, who are obsessed with in-law play.

… Still can’t help it
It won’t be strange if she gets caught at any time, and Harin has already received her father’s consent, but she can’t back down.

“I have something to tell you!”
“Okay. Try it.”

I don’t know Mr.
Now that it’s like this, let’s finish it all today.

“We are dating.”
“Yes. Okay? That’s great.”

Among the parents of both families who were eating crunchy fruit and watching TV, Daye’s mother was the only one who paid attention to me.

“Still, they don’t end up chatting among themselves, but they let us know how pretty they are. Isn’t that Minjun’s mother?”

Keugh… After all, is the love of the son-in-law only for the mother-in-law?

“They inform me only after all the moxa has already been added to the rice. When did they get permission from us and start dating? You’re talking about love already.”
“Okay. We’ve talked on the phone before, but how nice it is to talk face to face like this.”
“I want you to be serious about something obvious.”

… I hesitated for a moment at the reaction that was too obvious.

“And I… There is another woman I am dating.”
“Yes. Okay. Dating again… What? Are you dating another woman?”

This time too, the father who is surprised to answer back to me.
I was so surprised that I jumped up from my seat and looked back at me.

“What nonsense are you—”
“Adventure. Minjun must have made a mistake.”

At Daye’s father’s words, my father immediately nodded.

“Ah, that’s right. That’s it. Whatever you say, say it straight! No matter how old he is, he is still a father.”
“My child is like that. I’m worried because I can’t paint properly. Everything or nothing, really. Daye-ya, the smart you, Min-joon, should take good care of you. He only knows how to fill it up, but he is a young man.”

… Whose side are my mom and dad on?
How bad is my usual perception, should I be subjected to such ridiculous slander? I’m not stupid and can’t speak Korean properly.

“No, not that. Really. I have another woman I’m dating.”

The friendly atmosphere of bickering freezes in an instant.

“What do you mean by that? What’s up?”
“Sorry.”
“Aww~ This ungrateful bastard threw away his wife because he succeeded a bit? Did I raise you like that! No. No way! Mom is versatile.”
“Who will throw it away? Why do I throw away Daye… She’s all dating Ye well, right?”

I think I misunderstood something.
It says that there is another woman, but she seems to think that she has abandoned everything and is dating another woman.

Anyway, I’m not that trash.
… Is it worse trash?

“Then what did you just say!!”

He barely made it back to his father who yelled at him.

“We are dating at the same time.”
“This, such a playboy! What kind of Joseon is this!? There’s nothing to do. It’s a spy, it’s a spy! Is that something you would say in front of your parents and mother-in-law!!”
“Sorry.”

With his head down, his wheezing father couldn’t stand it and jumped up and left the house.

Her heart was heavy at her mother’s sighing, but above all, her heart was heavy…

“Before the girl he was dating, she was that girl. Was she like Harin?”
“… Yes.”

There are more, but since the representative is Harin, let’s say Harin.

Daye’s father calmly asked if she had heard the news through her parents, who had met Harin after the Olympics the other day.

“Okay. Young people are dating, what can we say? But what do you mean by dating Daye?”
“I’m also dating Daye.”
“… Are you saying it’s a lamb?”

I couldn’t bear to say it was an octopus leg, so only her lips were tightly closed, so only then did her mother open her mouth.

“You know this?”
“Yes. Know.”
“What are you guys going to do… Whoa.”
“It’s okay, Mom.”

My heart is heavy.
She has been with her since she was very young.

Daye’s parents aren’t just adults next door, they’re like another parent. Daye opened her mouth as she tried to hang her head in her guilt.

“Dad. Mom. Do you believe me?”
“… I believe.”
“My daughter, I believe in you more than anyone else.”

Daye has been more mature than her peers since childhood.
Without any mediocre private tutoring, he always did not miss the first place in school and did not miss out.

Where would her parents not believe Daye, who had always been a proud daughter, an exemplary daughter.

“Then trust me again. I chose it.”

Even so, the two couldn’t even say that they believed.
After a long silence, the father enters, smelling of cigarettes, and sits down.

“Father, mother. Trust us. Minjun is not alone in making this decision. Me, Minjunie, and everyone else decided on the path together.”
“… I have no face with you. How did such a playboy come out of my house?”
“I’m sorry, Daye.”

Parents who can’t bear to raise their heads,

Haha. Isn’t it said that these days, people live together without getting married? What else did you say free love? Open marriage? Young people say that’s how they feel, but we need to understand. Kids these days are different from us.”

It was Daye’s father who tried to defend us, but his lips were quivering with a pale complexion as if he hadn’t really meant it.

A heavy silence fell between me, who was hanging down in guilt, and the adults who couldn’t bear to speak.

Then, Daye suddenly got up and left the house.
Daye returned after a little time in a frozen atmosphere. She was holding a black plastic bag full of something in her hands.

“I bought you a drink.”
“Alcohol… ?”
“Yes. I think you might need this. Eat everyone.”

A drinking party that started suddenly.
Mother and Daye Her mother busily serves snacks, and the fathers start pouring in soju as if they had waited.

“You drink too.”

Daye sits next to me and pours me a full glass of soju.
There’s no way he doesn’t know that I won’t drink until I retire… On purpose?

But I couldn’t bear to refuse.
I close my eyes and put soju in my mouth for the first time in my life—

‘Wow, what does this taste like?’

Not so damn tasty
My stomach gets hot as I barely pass it down my throat while using arrogance.

As if waiting, Daye puts the snack into her mouth.

“That’s true. They say it’s no use raising a daughter, so you’re doing to a man what you never did to a father in your lifetime.”

Daye’s four uncles, who must have been drunk already, with a disfigured face smiled and laughed, unlike her usual gentle appearance.

“I don’t know how fast my parents are, and I’m dying very well, dying. Honey, shall we try too? Oh, try it.”
“Egmoney, why is this person gross like this?”
“Oh come on.”
“Hmmmm. Ah, ah~”

It was only then that Daye’s parents, with their flushed faces, made fun of it, and the atmosphere eased up, and we constantly tipped our glasses.

Parents too.
Daye’s parents too.
Me too.

“This son of a bitch. You really aren’t How much Daye takes care of you, but you can’t do that. Huh? He’s my son, but he’s a real bad guy.”
“Yes. I’m a bad guy, but I still love you all? How much do you love me too?”
“Please love us all a lot. Save it Uncle, you know what I mean?”
“Well then~ Daye is the best. Jeongsil! Jogangjicheo! Isn’t that obvious?”
“Ever since we were young, the two of us held hands and toddled around every day, and eventually connected. Aigoo~ What should we do? Daye will take good care of the auntie’s son even if he’s not good enough, right? Yes?”
“Mom! What am I doing? Am I taking care of everything?”

* * *

Ok
Why are you like this today?

Head pounding as if it were about to break, bloated inside, in front of eyes that looked round and round.
Young is not feeling well, and while holding her head on the bed, a soft hand protrudes from the side and touches her forehead.

“It’s okay?”
“… Daye Yoon?”

The moment I saw Daye’s face lying next to me, the memory passed by like a panorama.

“… Fucked.”
“What?”
“Me… Did you make any mistakes yesterday?”
“Well.”

Daye smiles wryly, gets herself up and leaves the room.
I woke up early and looked clean even after taking a shower.

Come to think of it, Daye didn’t drink yesterday.

“Hmm. Did you wake up?”
“Good night, father.”
“Okay. Big humhehe.”

My heart melted when I heard my father’s awkward voice from outside.

‘I don’t know. Anyway, it ended well, okay?’
