Chapter 1096 – Oh, Hello. Uh, Nguyen, Minh, and Chan.

It was clear that the Southeast Asian woman in the video was Min-ah’s mother. Although her face was wrinkled as if she had suffered a lot, and her build was dwarfed by Mina’s, her distinctive features clearly resembled Mina’s.

“Ohhhhh… !”

The demon king checked it through the cafe window and exclaimed. He sat in the driver’s seat and looked at her with his head pulled out, then looked back at Mina in the back seat and smiled.

“It wasn’t just the past life that was the reason.”

“It’s just embarrassing.”

“I am ashamed of you. I’m ashamed of you…”

Arriving at the cafe, the meeting place, we checked the atmosphere without going straight in. The woman in her 50s, who appeared to be Mina’s mother, seemed to be alone and had no luggage.

“Are you going soon?”

Sae-hee, who found out about this by hacking into the cafe’s CCTV, asked where to start. Mina and I looked toward the cafe and nodded, trying to make up our minds.

“Okay, let’s go”

“Yes, I understand.”

While answering, she opened the car door and left at the same time as Mina. Her heart pounded with tension as she stepped out into the air, which was as warm as early autumn but still chilly.

“…”

Mina did not go straight to the cafe, but turned around and sneaked up on her in the trunk of her car. Realizing what she meant, she also moved her steps and held her hand.

“Thank you.”

“No.”

Just doing her husband’s job, she didn’t need to hear thanks. Of course, I didn’t feel bad about it.

“Something? Are the two of you creating a couple atmosphere?”

“It seems like we forgot one thing too.”

Therefore, the Demon King and Sehee who got off saw this scene and laughed. Then he nodded towards the cafe across the road and said.

“Then the luggage will go first.”

“Roughly, come in a few minutes. OK?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Don’t do anything stupid. Please, stay still.”

It was not possible to know all the atmosphere inside from the video alone. So Mawang and Sehee pretended to be ordinary guests and tried to enter first, but it was a little difficult to be relieved because they were the two of them.

“Hmm?”

Hearing those words, the demon king frowned. As if it was nonsense.

“Sehee. Anyone who sees it would think Jim gets into trouble every day, right?”

“The accident was my brother. Can’t you see the boat here?”

“Hey, just go fast. Go fast, go fast!”

Haha, you were going to go without saying anything? Come on, Sehee.”

“Yes, sister.”

Demon King and Se-hee, who had laughed shamelessly in fear of not being sisters, crossed their arms as if showing off. Then I moved my steps and entered the cafe without the slightest hesitation.

“!”

The moment the door opened for the demon king and Sehee to enter, she quickly turned around. The woman, presumed to be Minah’s mother, checked on her guest and let her shoulders droop in disappointment.

“… Are you nervous?”

“Yes that’s right.”

I asked without taking my eyes off Mina, who was clearly waiting for her. Minah, like me, fixed her gaze and nodded in the corner of her field of vision.

“I am nervous.”

“Aren’t you happy?”

“I do not know. It’s tense and frustrating at the same time.”

“Disappointed?”

Mina took her gaze away from her presumed mother and turned to Mina. Mina also turned her head and met her eyes with mine.

“Yes that’s right. I have been looking forward to meeting my mother since childhood, but when it does, I am disappointed in myself for not being able to feel any joy.”

It was like a dream, so it didn’t feel real. After looking at Minah for a while, he stood up and pouted her lips.

“… Zhong”

She didn’t say anything, but Mina bowed her head and kissed her. When I lowered her legs and looked up again, she nodded slightly relaxed.

“Thank you.”

“No. I’m grateful. For kissing me.”

“Then it is an honor.”

“Because I am honored.”

Mawang and Sehee who went into the cafe first, Taeyeon who wasn’t there, and even Minah holding hands with me. All of them were attractive women who would not be ashamed to present them anywhere. I made all of them my own women.

She had happiness that was hard to handle, but it also came with responsibility. I moved her stride without letting go of her Mina’s hand to fulfill this responsibility.

“Let’s go now.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Mina nodded and followed my words. We crossed the road and walked to the cafe across the street, and after a moment’s hesitation, opened the door and entered.

“!”

Just like when Mawang and Sehee entered, the Southeast Asian woman quickly turned around. Her wrinkled face looked at Mina, who had darker skin than herself, and, huh? Uh uh

Sniff

She turned her head.

“What?”

Seeing that she didn’t recognize her daughter, she stopped talking. Not only me, but Mawang and Se-hee, who were looking at me after having a drink in the corner of the cafe, looked puzzled.

“Sehee. Something? Wasn’t it the author?”

“No, the documents clearly say it was him.”

I was curious about what kind of document it was, or rather, how it was obtained. But the important thing now was Mina’s reaction.

“…”

The expression Mina was making now was completely nothing. Although she was usually blunt, she used to show her emotions through her expression, but now she looked at the Southeast Asian woman without showing any sign.

“Is that Mina?”

“… Yes, Jiheon.”

It wasn’t that there wasn’t anything, it just stopped thinking. Even when I called, he stayed in a daze for a while, then stared at me with a hint of embarrassment.

“Jiheon. Did you call?”

“Uh, uh, are you okay?”

“Yes, it is fine.”

“Really?”

“Yes that’s right. It seems that my skin color is darker, so I was mistaken for someone else.”

“Ah, uh, yes…”

Certainly, Minah’s skin tone was darker than that person’s. However, Mina was burned by tanning, not by nature.

“Jiheon.”

“Uh? Oh, yes.”

Still, after hearing the explanation that didn’t make much sense, I finally returned to reality when Mina called. Barely coming to her senses, I walked with her towards her presumed mother.

“Excuse me.”

Even if it was a mother he hadn’t seen in a little over 30 years, he seemed to reveal her true intentions. Mina stood in front of her with a sullen face as she usually does to us.

“Are you Nguyen Minh Chan?”

“Yes?”

It seems that he has been living in Korea for a long time. Contrary to her Southeast Asian appearance, the words that came out of her mouth were fluent Korean.

“Yes, that’s right… What?”

“!”

“Nice to meet you.”

My heart trembled when I said yes. Minah must have felt the same way, as she came out earlier and let go of her hand, which she had been holding tightly to, and politely put her luggage in front of her and greeted her.

“Hello. My name is Chae Min-ah.”

“… !”

She lowered her head and said her name, and her eyes trembled as if they were shaking. At the same time she forced a smile, she stood up and greeted her.

“Oh, hello. Uh, Nguyen, Minh, and Chan. Her Korean name is Choi Mi-kyung.”

“Yes.”

Even empty words didn’t seem to say that I was happy. Mina said nothing and looked at her own mother.

“Uh, uh, uh, but, uh, this person…”

Mina, who was rolling her eyes like a child whose faults were exposed, her mother looked at me. Immediately after that, she immediately bowed her head and introduced who I was.

“Hello. My name is Jiheon Kang, your daughter’s husband.”

“Uh, what, did he get married?”

“Yes, I am married.”

“Ah, you got married, so… “

When asked if she was married, she asked with a slight smile, then looked at Mina’s still sullen face and lowered the corner of her mouth. Her mother, who was so confused, pointed at her counter with an awkward smile.

“Do you want some coffee? I, I will live.”

“No. I will pay.”

“No, that’s fine. I make money now.”

“I will earn better.”

“Oh, that, is it? Work, see one? What the hell,”

“Excuse me.”

Before she could ask what she was doing, Mina vacated her seat. Leaving me alone with her own mother.

“…”

“… Oh, hello.”

Minah, who had left so quickly, stared blankly at her back, then turned her attention to her mother. Even though she did earlier, she greeted her once more. She was a little hesitant, but she accepted the greeting.

“Yes. This is Nguyen Minh Trang. Her Korean name is Choi Mi-kyung.”

“Yes, I am, that, Kang Ji-heon. That, there is no Vietnamese name.”

“Puha?!”

She said anything to shake off the awkward moment. At that moment, the demon king who had been watching her from a distance burst into bread and bowed her head deeply.

“Why? What did your brother say?”

“Kuh-hum, kuh-huh, keuh-huh… !”

It exploded so loudly that Sehee, who was sitting across from her, couldn’t answer even if she asked.

“Sit down, would you like to sit down?”

“Ah yes.”

Anyway, after one more shout, my mother and I sat down at the table. Of course, this awkwardness did not go away easily.

“Uh, that…”

In the suffocating awkward silence, her mother spoke first. After several hesitations, she began to speak as if forcibly wringing out her courage.

“That, Minah, what is she doing?”

“Minah, are you going? No, are you Minah noona? Mina noona, she works at a company.”

“A company? Then, did you two meet there?”

“Yes? Oh no. My sister and I met at a game.”

“Ah, is that so? Then, Minah, what company do you work for?”

“It’s a game rate, but it’s a bit high. Rank.”

“Rank… ?”

“Ah, what is your rank? That, that,”

“I am the boss.”

I didn’t know the position, so I tried to explain it, but I couldn’t think of it. At this time, Mina, who had left me, approached with a tray full of drinks and cakes.

“Excuse me.”

“Uh, what is it? Why did you buy so many? Hungry?”

I forgot that I was in front of my mother and panicked when I bought the amount that seemed a little too much for the three of us. Her mother also widened her brown eyes resembling Mina’s, as if surprised.

“…”

Percussion

Even after seeing the surprised reaction, Mina sat next to me without saying a word. She put the drinks she had brought, cakes, and cookies on the table, and she took a loaf of bread, said this, and began to eat it.

“Eat. I will live.”

I didn’t know what this meant, so I glanced at Mina. Mina kept her eyes down all the way through her bread, and she didn’t want to face her mother. She seemed to be angry because she didn’t recognize her, and it seemed like she was worried because she didn’t know how to treat her.
