Chapter 175 – Later Story (1)
“Sign it.”
Traveling around the world for a while, holding talks with heads of state, and talking with companies.
Anyway, as soon as I returned from a lot of work, Han Yeo-reum held out an envelope. As soon as I took out the papers without much thought, I froze.
“Wait, this?”
“It’s a marriage certificate. Can’t you see?”
“No, this isn’t even one piece? Six instead of four?”
One two three four five six.
Midsummer, Cheon Ha-yeon, Jeok-ha, Cheong-ha, Seomun Ye-rin, Beatrice.
“Six is right.”
“⋯Professor Chungha and Yerin Seomun.”
“I know what you are talking about. Just accept it It’s because I’m so nice Because I know how miserable unrequited love can be. 4 years should be enough. I can’t help it if you don’t like it.”
Midsummer licked her lips, gently twisting the ends of her hair.
“It’s not that I don’t particularly like it. It’s just because it’s sudden.”
“Okay? Well, since we’ve already talked about it, shut up and sign it.”
“Even so, you need to get permission from the elders… Especially Professor Yerin Seomun and Chungha.”
“I’ve already been given permission. Rather, Cheon Ha-yeon is the problem?”
“Huh?”
“I didn’t talk.”
“Wait, did you notice that you knew Sabu?”
Master was leisurely traveling around the world with President Dokgopae, who retired at the same time. I also visited him often, but he definitely hinted at something like a ‘grandson’.
“Eh, yes? No one would have told you.”
Midsummer tilted her head.
“But isn’t it weirder not knowing? What about the light horse?”
“Well, that is also true. We were too crowded.”
“That’s right.”
“Are you going to keep talking? Sign it soon I want to get scolded by this sister.”
“Why are you sister?”
“I heard that time stopped for four years. Then I am your sister.”
“Hey, if that’s the case.”
I paused to talk about the void. I didn’t want to say that I had endured almost an eternity there. Because it might hurt you for nothing. Midsummer asked triumphantly.
“If that’s the case, then what?”
“Even if you compare it with your previous life.”
“Am I your sister?”
“Shut up. I can’t admit it.”
“Come on, Pen.”
Midsummer put a pen in my hand.
“…Wouldn’t it have been better to do it in a more moody atmosphere? Aren’t men supposed to do this first?”
“Women are fine. Doesn’t care.”
“⋯Yes.”
In the end, I finished signing each one. No matter how unmanned they are, they play above the law, but I want to be like this.
No
I’d rather play above the law.
What if ‘World Hero Kim Mu-gong’ wants to get married, but he can’t do it properly because of the monogamy law! If rumors like this were circulating, it wouldn’t be strange at all even if Korea made something bizarre like ‘Kim Moo-gong’s Harem Special Act’. Not only in Korea, but all over the place, ‘we will enact such a law, so please change your nationality!’
Rather than seeing such a terrible situation, it was better to just use the privilege as a soldier.
My face is burning because of my shining statue, which catches my eye wherever I go. Every time I saw it, it reminded me of a 3-generation hereditary country that existed in the north. Even if someone prayed to the statue, ‘divine power’ accumulated day by day.
“What about the wedding?”
I asked a random question.
“First, register your marriage. Let’s have a slow wedding. You don’t even have to ask for permission from the previous headmaster.”
“That is not true. Now, here.”
“Good job. This sister is going!”
“Until the end, sister.”
After accepting the documents, Han Yeo-reum quickly left the room.
Marriage.
That’s why he’s married to 6 people.
Suddenly, I thought of a Nigerian entrepreneur who fell in love with his young wife, but was blackmailed by the rest of her wives and killed for having sex with them one after another. Wives who were overcome by jealousy came at night with knives and clubs and forcibly had sex with them.
Even the number of wives of the entrepreneur was six.
Of course, if you think about my level, the good boss is ridiculous. Apart from that, if you’re going to get married, you’ll have to make everyone happy.
‘Is it possible?’
It was not a matter of ability, but a matter of human mind, which was quite difficult.
Chungha and Seomoon Yerin were actually still a bit bewildered. I sighed deeply and opened my mouth against the window.
“⋯Come in.”
Sabak- Covert yet graceful steps. A woman resembling Midsummer appeared.
“Hello?”
She tilted her head slightly and looked at me. Her ebony hair flowed gently down her shoulder line.
“Professor is the only one who uses the amhyang table to open the window and come in. And the door is over there.”
“Professor. I hate nicknames.”
Chungha leaned against the wall near the window and pouted her lips. The smell of her alcohol wafted through the thick scent of plum blossoms.
“Yes?”
“I saw the marriage certificate.”
Somehow, he came here in an instant. The reason you guessed was right.
“⋯Are you all right, Professor? That’s what marriage is supposed to be.”
“Another professor.”
“Then what shall we call it?”
“Would you like to call me sister? Because I’m older…”
“Who is your sister?”
“Ugh…”
Chungha’s face turned bright red at my question. Then he suddenly rolled up a nearby curtain to hide her body. Could it be that you just mentioned the word ‘sister’? I just opened my mouth in a daze at the unbelievable fact.
‘Has this always been the case?’
Where did the elegant, haughty, kind, and lofty professor I knew go? I wonder if 4 years is that long. If it’s long, it’s pretty long.
“Can I get you a drink?”
“No, that’s enough!”
Surrounded by curtains, Chungha shook her head. Sew – I gestured lightly. The curtain was pulled back, and Chungha, her face flushed red, naturally came and sat down in front of me.
“Let’s talk.”
“Yes.”
“So that, sister.”
“Yes, yes.”
Chungha bowed her head.
“It’s really okay, right? I’m not the type to let go of someone I’ve held in my hands. I have a lot of greed.”
“Marriage registration. It wasn’t easy to write me.”
“That’s not what I meant, I’m sorry. Just. For me, the time of 4 years was deleted. I still haven’t heard everything about what happened…”
“⋯Human heart”
“Yes.”
“There are things I realize through loss. Whether I like you or not I thought it was nothing, but now that it’s gone, I miss it so badly. There is such a thing.”
“⋯ Was that me?”
Nod.
“I understand.”
Because while I was spending almost eons of time in the void, I was similar.
“Yerin was similar. After you’re gone I realized this after everyone was flipping mountains like crazy. Oh, I can’t be without this man.”
“⋯I don’t remember doing anything like that.”
“Iknow, right. Why? Is it just because you’re handsome? I don’t know when or why. People’s hearts were small at first.”
Chungha put her palms together and made small plum blossom petals. A bright pink petal. It is so beautiful that it is translucent.
“It happened like this without even knowing it.”
The petals piled up on the palm of my hand. The scent of plum blossoms that had been emanating from earlier intensified.
“I thought it would naturally be forgotten if the time I couldn’t see was longer, but it wasn’t. Some feelings become more sorrowful the longer they last. When I realized it, I had come to the point of no turning back.”
Blue eyes stared at me. There was a sincerity in her words that could not be hidden even with alcohol.
“So that.”
After scattering the petals in all directions, Chungha grabbed her hair with both hands.
“Can you give me a hug?”
“⋯Yes?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know.”
“Ask for a hug, is that what I think?”
“Do I have to speak?”
She narrowed her eyes and glanced at me.
“Now?”
“After all, if you register your marriage, you are now a couple. Couples can do this, and they can do that too. Isn’t it like that? I’m already over 30, but I haven’t been able to properly hold hands with a man until now. Every day, every time, every day, grabbing the hands of the monsters you hate. I also love a little like everyone else, but anyway. You don’t intend to leave it alone, do you? Then bite your tongue and go.”
“Ji, calm down.”
He hurriedly went to her side and patted her on the shoulder. We met eyes. Before instinctively face to face.
Bang!
The visit opened violently.
“…Now, hold on.”
Midsummer, who had been wandering around since earlier, opened the door and entered in an instant.
“What is this atmosphere?”
“What is it? It is on the verge of accomplishing a great feat.”
Chungha suddenly crossed her legs and lifted her chin slightly.
“You were supposed to do this after the wedding.”
“Did you not know? The wedding is formal and the marriage certificate is real.”
“⋯No, that’s not what I meant.”
Sparks flew from both of their eyes. Then, Chungha opened her lips with a bewitching smile first. There was a strong smell that had not yet been resolved. It is mixed with the strong scent of plum blossoms, so it should be called plum wine. She created quite a dreamy atmosphere.
“Or, would you like to do it together?”
“What?”
I opened my mouth and blinked blankly at the remark that I couldn’t believe it came out of Chungha’s mouth, which was pure innocence.
