Chapter 138 – President Hyunseong

I put my hands together.
Looking at the empty seat in front of Seoyeon, she felt a little uneasy about when that person would come.
He said he would definitely come, but maybe he wouldn’t.

‘They said there must have been a big event at Cheonghwa Academy.’

And at the center of it, he and his older sister were intertwined.
Of course, it didn’t happen between the two of them, but her sister and the man stopped the terrorist who was trying to blow up the whole academy.

‘Sister, she still hasn’t been discharged.’

Despite her own words of wanting to see her, she remembered her older sister’s words that she couldn’t do it right now and that she would see her next time when the time was right.
I was anxious.
It was said that it was a big battle in which many people were injured, but they wondered if something went wrong and they didn’t meet him.

It’s like that today too.
She had nowhere to go and had refused her own request to see her face for a moment.
Her heart raced.
I don’t think it’s because he got hurt or something went wrong and he couldn’t see me.

‘Certainly not.’

No matter how much he is a Guardian student, Seoyeon knows that the gap in their abilities is vast.
And I heard that her older sister is quite strong among them.
Seoyeon knew all too well what it meant to be strong.
Because she is strong, she would have taken on such a risky role, and then there would be a greater chance that something would go wrong with her.

“Seoyeon… Mr.”
“Why did you come so late? I waited so long!”

It was then.
Hearing the voice of the person he had been waiting for, she looked away, got up from her seat, and ran towards him.
In a situation where her sister isn’t properly dating, she doesn’t know the only person to ask her news about her sister, Yoon Shi-hoo.
Perhaps this is the first time he has been so happy.

“Uh…”

Yoon Shi-hoo heard Seo-yeon’s nervous voice and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the cafe.
I must have come on time for my appointment, and what is this feeling of being late?

“…Would you like some coffee?”

Seo-yeon, who looked at the watch in Shi-hoo’s gaze, realized that she had overdone, she asked him cautiously in a voice that crawled.
A sudden change in her attitude.
Yoon Shi-hoo carefully said to her, “All I need is an Americano,” Even though she felt a bit out of tune with Seo-yeon’s rapidly changing appearance.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay with that?”
“Well, it’s because I didn’t come to the cafe well in the first place.”

I’m sure you know Seo Ha-rang as her sister.
Certainly her sister and her brother are different, thinking of me

*

I gazed at the downtown area, which was increasingly filled with skyscrapers.
To me, who had never had a connection with the downtown area of ​​a city like this, the skyscrapers of the world in the novel I wrote came to me quite strangely.
Even this part, I wonder if my subconsciousness is reflected.

“Miss.”
“Yes.”
“I’m going home after a long time. Are you okay?”

I thought for a moment at the quiet question of Mr. Mincheol, who was driving the car in front of me.
Now, my house is not the studio where Lee Soo-hyun used to live, but Kim Joo-won and Sae-ah.
The apartment where the three of us lived together felt like home.

“Well, is going home good or bad?”

Of course, I must speak well.
However, even in that downtown area for a while, does Chairman Hyun-seong like quiet things?
I get out of the hustle and bustle and look at the grandiose house like a mansion standing in a place where I want to be a little quiet.

“Miss.”
“Yes.”
“Are you okay?”
“Maybe it’s because I don’t remember, I’m not as impressed as I thought.”
“Is that so…”

I poke the cheek of Sae-ah, who is sleeping for no reason.
In fact, unlike the words that there was no inspiration, it wasn’t that comfortable.
Even though he was my father, he wasn’t the one who really raised me.

“Im here.”

When I looked around at the uncle’s words, a huge house surrounded by a high wall caught my eye.
The feeling of being bigger than a house in video media such as dramas may be due to mood.

“Please go in.”

Following Min-cheol’s words, he carefully steps into the house.
I am greeted by ornaments that are difficult to determine the value of each one.
Starting from the chandelier, the sofa and table in the living room, and the overwhelmingly large television at the moment of viewing, it seems to imply that the people living here are not ordinary people.

“The chairman is in the study on the second floor.”

At first glance, the house had a total of three floors.
As I followed Uncle Min-cheol’s belt to the second floor, I saw four doors along with a small living room on the second floor.

“I think so.”

My heart started pounding.
It made my heart tremble to know that there was the person on the other side of the door who wanted to see me the other day, but I ran away and couldn’t.

“I told you that the lady lost her memory, so you should be comfortable.”

When I nodded at Uncle Min-cheol’s words, the uncle opened the door himself, perhaps considering my situation holding a new baby.
Take a small breath in and out for a while.
As I walked slowly, I saw a middle-aged man sitting at a desk by the window doing something.

‘That person is the chairman of Hyeonseong.’

And Seoha Lee’s father.
While sitting in front of his desk writing something, he suddenly stopped what he was doing when Mr. Mincheol said, “Chairman, lady is here,” And slowly put down the pen.
Seeing such a man, I began to think for a while about what to call him.

What should I call it
Should I call him Mister because he lost his memory and doesn’t feel like his father?
Or should I still call him father, since he is my father?

“Are you standing?”

Did you even know what I was thinking?
My body flinched momentarily at the voice calling me first.

“…Yes.”

Seoha Lee’s father gets up from his seat.
Now if he looked away, he would see me holding my child in my arms.

8 years.
It’s too early for mountains and rivers to change once, but it’s such a time when many parts of people can change.

“It’s been a long time, Seoha… Hey?”

However, is it not enough time to convince the daughter who left home in childhood to come back with her child in her arms?
Perhaps if I had been alone, he would have held me in his arms as a father who wanted to see his children.

“Seoha, what is that child?”
“…My daughter.”

More than ever, a heavy silence hangs over the study.
Seeing the twinkling of the eyes looking at me, I think that Sae-ah is not friendly.

“Your daughter?”
“Yes.”

Didn’t he even think that his daughter, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, would come back with a baby in his arms?
The thought of being fucked by his trembling voice starts to come to my mind.
His eyes, confused about how to treat me, seemed to tighten my heart.

Lee Seo-ha’s father.
He started walking.
One step, two steps.
Every time the distance got closer, my heartbeat started beating little by little in inverse proportion to the distance.

It was as if I was being told to get rid of the bird like this.
I had to make my side for Sae-ah, and I came here to do that.

‘What if the bird refuses?’

Oh, my child, my bird.
Why do you have to struggle so much from the beginning of life?
It’s a pretty dark fact for a child to start from being raped, but if you’re rejected by your grandfather because you don’t want a child.

“Seo, are you Seo Ha?”
“Yes?”
“Go, what’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

Did that fact come so sad to me?
He must have been shedding tears before he knew it, and he stopped approaching in amazement and didn’t know what to do.
No matter how much I don’t remember, I wonder if Seoha Lee is his daughter.

“Why are you suddenly crying after seeing each other for the first time in a while?”

It was only when I wiped my eyes with the handkerchief given to me by Mr. Mincheol, who was watching all of this, that I realized that I was crying before I knew it.
And, the other Seoha Lee inside of me has disappeared.
Even though her memories still affect me.

“Ah, father…”

To someone who doesn’t even remember at all, it’s probably like that when you see the words come out naturally.
Without that, there would be no way I would feel this kind of closeness to a character who didn’t even appear in the novel.

“Oh, nothing.”
“Couldn’t it be that I was afraid of what to say because I came back after giving birth on my own?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Not really.”

It was then.
After I calmed down for a while, did I finally become interested in my granddaughter instead of my daughter?
He turns his gaze to Sae-ah in her arms, then carefully reaches out the tip of her finger and pokes her cheek.

“Seoha, what’s his name?”
“Yes?”
“The baby’s name.”
“I’m Sae-ah, Sae-ah Kim.”
“Kim? Isn’t this Lee?”
“…The baby’s daddy didn’t run away. I have some circumstances right now.”

Ah.
Since I came alone, of course I might have thought that I was raising a child who had no children.

“I guess his last name is Kim.”
“…”

At the same time, there is a slight chill in his voice.
The target must be Kim Joo-won.
At the age of a flower in her mid-twenties, she arbitrarily turned a precious daughter from someone else’s house into a mother.

“Keuh hmm hmm.”

Soon enough, he must have realized I was looking at him, so he cleared his throat and quickly regained his decency.

“So, what did he do to make you come here alone?”
“That…”
“Are you the guy who’s related to the academy terror incident that happened a while ago?”
“Yes. It’s not exactly the terrorist, but the one who stopped the terrorist.”
“Hmm.”

The study falls into silence for a moment.
Then, what happened to me was that I was kicked out of the study without knowing why.
And…

“Sisterhee hee!”

No matter how I knew I was here, I heard Seoyeon’s voice.
