Chapter 384 – Who?

In the park where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, even the sunlight felt different. In the midst of that kind of sunlight, people were walking among the cherry blossom petals that were scattered like the first snow. Those who came with family, lovers, and friends enjoyed this moment with a smile like flowers.

But even that moment was over. No, it wasn’t because I was a terrorist, it was because someone behind me covered my eyes so I couldn’t see them.

I knew someone was approaching behind me, but I didn’t expect someone to suddenly close their eyes and ask me.

“Who is it?”

Who is it.

None of my girlfriends had this tone. King Mawang is cheerful and arrogant, Sehee is cold and cautious, and Mina is hard and polite.

Oh, there was one.

Taeyeon came to her mind. But if it was her, she’d be disgusted with this stuff.

No matter how much I looked back, no one was capable of doing this. After thinking this far, I opened my mouth.

“Who are you?”

Even when asked about his identity, the answer came back saying, “Why?”

“What, did you forget me? Isn’t that too much?”

I don’t think it’s anyone I know.

“I really don’t know. Who are you?”

“Hey. It’s me, me.”

When I asked again, the woman finally lowered her hand. Let’s turn her back and see who it is,

“… Who are you?”

I still didn’t know who it was.

“Uh?”

The woman who saw my face also opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with her hand. She then lowered her hand and bowed her head in apology.

“Sorry. I know you are someone I know.”

“Uh, yes?”

“Sorry. The backs look a lot alike.”

As she apologized, she pulled me away with her smile as she twisted her body slightly.

“By the way, the front is, more, handsome.”

“Uh, yes. Thank you.”

When I said I was handsome, of course I felt better. But if I knew it was a misunderstanding, I wondered why I was standing here instead of going elsewhere.

Perhaps realizing my thoughts, the woman asked with an apologetic face.

“I’m really sorry.”

“Ah yes.”

“Well, I’m so sorry, but over there.”

She pointed to a street vendor. She lowered her hand, pointing to the iced americano written on the sign over there, and offered it.

“Hey, can I buy you a cup of coffee?”

“Uh, coffee?”

“Yes, coffee. I’m so sorry. If I just go, I’m afraid I’ll be a very bad person…”

“It’s been a bad enough year.”

“Uh?”

It wasn’t me who just cursed. When she turned her head to the place where the voice was heard, the Demon King stood there with a slightly annoyed expression.

“Uh?”

The reason I was surprised to see her was because of her outfit. A white floral dress and a blue jacket on a black background that reveals her white knees reveal the charm of a cute and cheerful devil.

“Hmm…”

Even though it was a simple outfit, the demon king, who couldn’t hide his cuteness, approached her with a displeased face. Then I told the woman who was more embarrassed than when she saw my face.

“Hey, I’m sorry. Maniza has a girlfriend of hers. Right in front of your eyes.”

“Uh, there,”

“Honestly, I am not particularly sorry. I get a little angry.”

“No, I am sorry!”

The woman hastily apologized and hurriedly left us. And as if she was filling the spot, the Demon King stood in front of me.

“Hey, are you sane now?”

“Uh, what.”

“You know how scary this world is and go around alone with your boyfriend?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Next time, please go hand in hand with Jim.”

The demon king, who stopped talking for a moment, grabbed my empty right hand.

“Speak like this.”

It was a small, soft, warm hand. I was as happy as her smile when she looked at me.

“But I’ll hit the iron wall…” … !”

Whoops!

“Ah! Hands, hands, hands!”

I forgot the calluses on my hands.

After the incident where our hands almost got folded in half passed, we walked under the cherry trees holding hands like other lovers.

Looking down at the heavy lunchbox in my left hand, I looked at the demon king standing on my right. I couldn’t believe that this kind of person, with snow-white skin and doll-like features, was my girlfriend.

“Hmm?”

The demon king noticed my gaze and met my eyes. Then he asked with a smile.

“Why? Did Jim get lost in his beauty?”

“Huh.”

“What, what, ahahaha!”

It seems that I didn’t know how to answer honestly. Still, when I affirmed, he laughed cheerfully and loudly, as if he was in a good mood.

She laughed enough to draw all the attention around her and spoke to me again with a hearty smile.

“If you go a little further from here, Minah will be waiting for you. Sehee and Yena will be there too.”

Unlike me who came later, the demon king came beforehand and waited for me. Mina arrived first with Yena, and she, who was next to me, met me and took me to her meeting place.

“Um, over there.”

The demon king stopped walking and pointed at a cherry blossom tree in the distance. Beneath them were women sitting on mats. I could see Minah and Sehee, as well as Yena sitting down.

“… But Minah, why is she like that?”

“You’ve been such a jerk ever since you left.”

Minah stood on her knees with her hands open. As if she had escaped from prison somewhere, she seemed to feel free in the sunlight instead of the rain.

The demon king explained why he was doing that until he went to Minah’s mat.

“You seem to be very busy with work these days. Until yesterday, they said they hadn’t gone out while taking care of lodging and lodging at work.”

“Okay? You must be very tired.”

“Hmm, Jim doesn’t want to be that grown-up.”

“So, me too.”

She talked like a child who says that by the time she becomes an adult, she will become unified and will not go to the military. Meanwhile, the two of us arrived at the mat.

“Uh.”

The moment I saw the women, I would greet them with pleasure. However, even if Mina, who was enjoying her freedom, was left aside, I couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed to see Sehee and Yena, who were awkward.

“…”

“…”

The two sat face to face as if they didn’t know each other existed and focused on their smartphones. Yena was sitting next to Mina, watching her children’s animation, and Sehee watching YouTube ●.

“Uh, Sehee? Is it Yena?”

Upon hearing my voice, both girls turned their heads so quickly that their black hair fluttered. The two who found me had smiles on their expressionless faces.

“Brother!”

“Uncle!”

“…”

The two woke up with happy faces, and Mina greeted me as well, opening her closed eyes.

“Are you here, Jiheon?”

“Oh, I’m here.”

I lightly greeted Mina and asked Sehee and Yena who got up.

“How have you been?”

“Yeah, well, that’s okay.”

“… Mister.”

Jenna, who was laughing happily, suddenly frowned at her.

“Mister, are you cheating on me?”

In Yena’s gaze, there was my hand that was holding the demon king.

“Uh?”

“Ceeeeeing!”

Jena walked out onto her lawn without even wearing her shoes. Then, she let go of me and the Demon King, who were clasped together.

“Mister! Sleep!”

Yenna, who forcibly dropped her hand, came out and took her hand. It was a small, delicate and warm hand unique to a child.

Yena, who didn’t even know how cute she was, looked up at me.

“Mister! If you cheat on me, get scolded! OK?”

“Hmm! Got it!”

However, it was not the Demon King who answered her.

“I’ll include you as a member of Jiheon’s harem!”

“Hey?!”

“It can’t be helped. Yena is so cute, how can I refuse her?”

That’s right though, she’s got a 7-year-old girl?!

“Of course, you can’t touch her until she’s grown up.”

“What are you talking about, really?”

Having said that to the demon king, I bent down on my knees to bring Jena and her to eye level. She said to the child as she set the paper bag of her lunch down on her mat.

“Yena. She shouldn’t be wearing shoes and stepping on the dirt. Come on, wear shoes.”

“No. Are you okay.”

She tried to put on shoes with characters on them, but Jenna climbed onto her mat.

“This is fine!”

“I’ll have to brush her feet though, yes me.”

“Chi.”

“Chii, it’s not. Come on, let’s brush our feet.”

She put her hand in her grasp and grabbed her child by the ankle. As she gently brushed the dirt off her white socks, she heard the sound of a camera shutter overhead.

Click!

“Uh, what is it?”

When I raised her head at her awkwardness, I met eyes with Se-hee, who was taking pictures of me with her smartphone while watching YouTube ●.

“Hey. Don’t take pictures carelessly.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen you with a kid.”

Se-hee, who was saying that, took several more pictures of me. Seeing that, Mina and the Demon King had a small talk.

“I think Jiheon will be a good father.”

“Say that. Are you looking forward to the future?”

Seeing the two of them thinking about the future together with me and the child made me laugh.

“Mister!”

Of course, Jena hated it.

Anyway, we joined and talked for a while before eating lunch.

“Uncle Uncle. You know me in kindergarten. Did you draw a picture? But the teacher praised me! Well done!”

Yena, who saw me, was excited and talked to me. She looked cute, so I smiled and nodded her head.

“Okay? Well done, Yena.”

Hehe, then you know, mister.”

She twisted her body like the woman Jenna saw earlier. She said as she then went between the bags she had piled in the corner of the mat.

“I brought it to show you, uncle!”

“Really?”

“Yes! Seriously!”

While I was talking to Jena like this, my girlfriends were talking among themselves.

“Mina unnie. Are you having a hard time these days?”

“One person is on parental leave, so a lot of manpower is running. It seems that this system will continue until new recruits come in.”

Mina sighed as she spoke, and the demon king asked as a joke.

“If you want a garden, Jim can work for you.”

“…”

“Why are you not talking?”

“Are you serious? Do you really want to work for my company?”

Mina’s eyes were sincere when she asked that question. She asked as a joke, but when she asked with a serious face, even the demon king couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

“It was just a joke! And why do her eyes open so terribly!”

“I’m sorry, Sohee. And these are dark circles.”

“Sister. Minah unnie is really hard, but you shouldn’t joke like that.”

“Um, sorry.”

“No. But, I really want someone to come in and work for the company.”

Suddenly, I felt a gaze. Gaze directed towards me. A gaze that longs for something in me.
