Chapter 356 – Not Daddy! I’m Just an Old Man Who Doesn’t Know!

I didn’t understand that I had to pay when I came in, but I had to pay when I bought something to eat. Besides, it was half as expensive as buying at other cafes or places like that,

“I’d rather make it and eat it.”

The taste was just so-so.

I only took a few sips of the rice flour latte I ordered, but this is how I felt.

“Jiheon.”

At my complaint, Minah held out a cup of iced americano.

“Eat mine. It is worth drinking.”

And her Taeyeon next to her also said a word.

“Then you buy, or baby. I bought it at best. Chew, but this is more delicious than I thought?”

Taeyeon, who bought this, drank Americano and admired it. Raising her eyebrows in admiration, she asked Mina, who was sitting next to her.

“But are you okay with this?”

“It’s okay, Taeyeon.”

“No, this is just giving. And you said you could refill it?”

As the entrance fee was expensive, it was worth it. Americano and cocoa that Mina and Taeyeon ordered were free of charge just for admission.

“Just do something else. Anything.”

“No. I like Americano.”

“Then my Gao won’t live.”

Taeyeon said that from the time Mina ordered Americano, she kept ordering something else. Instead of paying admission for herself and her child, she agreed to buy her something to drink, which bothered her because she got a free drink.

“Hey. Do it, just Even if I don’t have as much money as you, I can buy you this.”

“In that case, we will use cocoa.”

“That’s free too. Make it a bit more expensive But hey.”

Taeyeon called to me as I was quietly drinking a powdered rice latte that was not worth the price. She asked with a puzzled expression.

“Hey, don’t you have any shame?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Minah even paid for your admission fee, so why don’t you say thank you?”

“Ah.”

The ‘ah’ I muttered here did not mean that I had finally noticed. It was an ‘ah’ that said that.

“It’s okay, Taeyeon.”

Mina said that before I could stop her.

“Jiheon will repay you with his body.”

“?!”

That’s why I was just shutting up.

Taeyeon, whom she had just met, opened her eyes wide in surprise. As if in shock, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Mina and me alternately.

“No, hey, you, you… ?”

It was after taking a sip of coffee that she regained her composure.

“No, do you guys say that casually outside? Something like that?”

“I didn’t say anything. Why am I included?”

“What should you say? No, what are you saying?”

“I’m already used to it.”

“Yes, Taeyeon.”

Here, Mina nodded her head.

“We made Jiheon like this.”

“Hey.”

“Sohee, Sehee, and me. It is a collaboration of three people and is a masterpiece.”

“What is he saying now.”

Me, Minah, and even Taeyeon, the three of us talked. While doing so, Jena, who was playing on the rides, ran up to us.

“Mom! Mama Mama Mama!”

Are you telling your mom not to hurry up?

Anyway, Yena walked over to our table with exhilarating steps. As she arrived in front of us, she said with a sweaty face.

“Mom! Let’s play with me, mom!”

“Okay? What shall we play with?”

“Hey, there, there! There’s something you can play with mom! Sleigh!”

“Uh, sled? Do you have a sled here?”

“Huh! Come and see!”

Excited, Yena couldn’t control her excitement and grabbed her mother’s hand and pulled her. She then laid her body back, holding her hand as if telling her to get up quickly, but she seemed a bit dangerous.

“Yeah, no. Don’t do it. Dangerous.”

Of course, there was no way that Taeyeon wouldn’t notice this. She dried her child as she rose from her seat with her hard face.

“Then, if you fall backwards, you should be sorry. It’s not hanging on like that.”

The child’s smile was erased in an instant at the strict mother’s attitude.

“Sorry.”

“Yeah, I wish I knew.”

Taeyeon smiled again, got down on her knees, and met her eyes with her child.

“What if I knew I was sorry?”

“I don’t.”

“Okay. Then it will work. Well done, my daughter.”

After saying that, Taeyeon gave her child a hug. Then she asked again, smiling sweetly.

“So, you have a sled?”

“Huh!”

Yena nodded her head with a bright expression again.

“Hey, there’s a sledding rink over there! Her mom can ride too!”

“Okay? Then, would you like to go with your mother?”

“Huh! Come with me! It’s so much fun!”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

She said let’s go and called me as she got up.

“Hey. Let’s go too.”

“Why me?”

“If you come, just come, please.”

I wasn’t the only one surprised by the sudden offer. Yena whispered to her mother in a smaller but audible voice.

“Mom, Uncle tell me to stay here.”

Ugh

She was in more pain than when the demon king stabbed her in the chest. Of course, there was no pain at that time because of her numbing magic, but anyway, the child’s pure words pierced my unclean heart sharper than a dagger.

But Taeyeon didn’t give up on taking me.

“You too, just come. You like sledding too.”

“No, when did I say I liked you?”

“Because you look like you’ll like it. Come fast. Wake up.”

Like Yena did earlier, Taeyeon grabbed my hand and tried to get me up. I suddenly woke up and asked.

“No, do I have to go?”

“Uh. You must go.”

“Then, what about Mina? Mina, are you going too?”

“No, Jiheon.”

Mina, who I thought would never let me be sandwiched between mother and daughter, betrayed me.

“I will stay here. Please go with Taeyeon and Yena.”

“Why. My sister is coming too.”

Yena, who asked me to stay here earlier, asked me to go with her this time. Her stark attitude towards her haters and likes hurt me even more.

“Minah is here. Let’s go.”

“No, but,”

“Are you coming soon?”

Taeyeon, who continued not to let go of my hand, took a step closer to me when I woke up. She whispered in my ear, standing right in front of her so that the scent of her woman could be felt.

“You should be friends with Jena.”

“!”

Before he had time to react to that action, Yena intervened.

“Mom! Let’s go! Uncle is not going!”

Ahhh… !

Yena didn’t seem to know how much she hurt me. Or she could have said that to get hurt.

But I was a warrior. A hero who defeated the Demon King with the determination to become friends. If I kneel here, the old me would cry.

“Let’s go.”

I held Taeyeon’s hand and shouted.

“I actually like sledding. Let’s go for a quick ride!”

“It will be like that sooner or later.”

Taeyeon smiled and looked down at her hand that I was holding and asked Jena.

“Yena. Can you tell me where the sledding rink is?”

“Yes…”

Jena, who showed a clearer attitude than when she ran here earlier, walked somewhere. Even though it was Friday, it was the weekend, so the place where I went through many children was the sledding rink.

Of course, it was not a sledding rink covered with snow, but a sledding rink with artificial grass on the ramp. Even the sled was just a tube.

“Uh? You’re back again, little friend?”

There, a female employee who seemed to be in charge of her guidance recognized Yena. Soon after, she spotted Taeyeon and me and bowed her head.

“Hello. Mother and uh, father? Uncle?”

I guess so. Because there seems to be a bit of an age gap with Mina.

As she was about to tell the confused employee that he was just her friend, she exclaimed Jena.

“Not Daddy! He’s just an old man!”

When she heard that she was not just an uncle, but an unknown uncle, her heart broke.

“Ah, ah, yes. That’s right.”

However, her staff seemed to hear what Jenna said a little differently. She was taken aback, then glanced at Taeyeon for a moment before putting on a businesslike smile.

Realizing the reason, Taeyeon hurriedly explained.

“I am just a friend, my friend. It’s not like that.”

“Is that so? All right.”

It didn’t seem like she knew anything.

The employee, subtly trying not to make eye contact with us, pointed inward.

“Do you want to go sledding with your child? We will guide you. Please follow me.”

Following her strangely fast, she reached her upper side on a gentle slope. She put her tube piled up there on her floor and explained it to us.

“Only one guardian may be present with the child. Adults cannot ride together.”

Do I need to say that

“Guardians need to be very careful so that the child cannot move when riding. And there is no case where two adults are riding, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

You shouldn’t talk so that you don’t care.

“Then would you like to take a ride?”

“Mom! Mom mom!”

Yena forced Taeyeon and I to let go of her still holding hands. Then she took her hand, which I had held, and pulled her into the sled.

“Mom! Sit here! Here!”

“Okay, hold on a second.”

Taeyeon sat where the child’s small hand indicated. As she sat with her ass tucked into the round part of her tube, her staff spoke to Jena.

“Children’s friend? Would you like to sit with your mother now?”

“Yes!”

At that, Jenna excitedly threw herself over her mother.

Thud!

“Ooh, hey!”

“Ahahaha! Mom, sorry!”

Even though Taeyeon protested at her sudden shock, Yena did not lose her bright energy.

“Then shall we depart now?”

The employee who saw it pushed the sled toward the ramp. Of course she had an adult and a child on her, so she looked a bit struggling, but because she straddled the ramp, she went down in no time.

As the sleigh slipped, Taeyeon let out a strange shout,

“Whoa!”

Yena also enjoyed the sledding with a bright smile.

“Ahahaha! Ahahahaha!”

And i,

“…”

“…”

She had an awkward time with her staff until her mother and daughter came up with her tube.
