Chapter 116 – Anecdotal – The Story of a Nuclear and Goldsmith (9)

After jogging in the morning, Kang Kyung-cheol was eating breakfast prepared by Lee Seol-ah.
Boiled chicken breast, vegetable salad, and simple dressing are all. It was a diet for Gyeong-cheol’s diet, but it was an embarrassing menu even to say that he had breakfast.

But it’s not even weird. When Kyung-chul ate the same, it was difficult to swallow, but now the tough chicken breast went over without a hitch.
Maybe it was because I just turned the microwave on and ate it when I cooked it myself? Or does it taste better when you think that it has been put in a woman’s hand?
He couldn’t tell from the light.

When Gyeong-cheol got up after emptying the bowl, Seol-ah went to So-young’s room and knocked on the door.

“Lee So-young! What are you doing when you’re not coming out soon? You’re waiting for Mister!”
“Wait! Just dry your hair!”

Gyeong-cheol felt strange about the noisy situation in the house from the morning. It was natural for him to be alone all the time, so it was strange to hear women’s voices in the house.

Today is the first day Soyoung goes to school. And Kyung-cheol decided to give So-yeong a ride to school.

“I’m sorry. I bothered you from morning.”

Seol-ah, dressed in her apron, lowered her head in front of Kyung-chul.
In terms of position, Gyeong-cheol is the owner of the house and Seol-ah is the housekeeper living in the house. The landlord, Gyeong-cheol, has no loyalty to drive Seol-ah’s daughter, So-young, to school.

“Never mind. I have a lot of time.”

Kyung-cheol leisurely brushed his teeth and changed into a suit.
She was thinking of dressing up and taking her to a new school for the first time in order to save So-young’s spirit.

“Soyoung, I’ll leave the car running, so come down to the parking lot when you’re ready.”
“Yes!”

After conveying her words to So-young, Seol-ah came to the front door to see off Kyung-chul, who was leaving her house.

“Then I’ll go.”
“Yes. Be careful.”

For some reason, Kyung-chul felt a strange feeling. Wouldn’t this be like a married couple?

However, Kyung-cheol shook off the thoughts that were floating in his head.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but now the two of them were just a relationship between employer and employee. And Seol-ah bears her material and mental debt to Kyung-chul. She felt it was not fair for her to proceed with something under these circumstances.
If a little more time passes and it becomes a natural relationship, then…

“Brother!”

There was a voice calling out to Kyung-chul, who had come down to the parking lot and was fantasizing.

Hearing that voice, Kyung-chul felt goosebumps all over his body.
It was because there was only one person in the world who called Gyeong-cheol his brother.

“Gyeong-chul oppa, talk to us.”

She grabs Kyung-chul by the cuff as he hurries to the car.
His ex-wife was Kim Seon-ha.

How long has it been since you met her?
Divorced 5 years ago. I haven’t seen him once since the divorce, so it’s like I’ve seen him in 5 years.

Ex-wife Kim Seon-ha was very different from what Gyeong-cheol remembered. In Gyeong-cheol’s eyes, he couldn’t even see the bright youthful vitality.
Since she is also in her 30s, it may be natural for her. But even so, Kim Seon-ha looked particularly aged.

“…I don’t have anything to say. Didn’t you hear from the lawyer? Don’t contact me.”

The tone of words coming out of her mouth also naturally hardened.
Kyung-chul tried to shake off her hand that was holding him, but she held on tenaciously and wouldn’t let go.

“My brother’s son, Joo-won. Joo-won, say hi. It’s my father.”
“…Dad?”

Behind Kim Seon-ha was a little boy, barely four years old.
At the word father, she stuck her head out, but when her eyes met Kyung-chul’s, she hid behind her mother again.

“Stop talking nonsense and go back. If you want to say that he is my son, get a genetic test first.”
“What are you talking about, oppa? Our Joo-won is your brother’s son or someone else’s son.”

Ju won. He says his name is Joo Won.
Come to think of it, she was paying child support for a kid she didn’t even know her name until now.

“Last name?”
“Uh, huh? Last name? What last name?”
“Your last name. What’s your full name?”
“Park Joo-won.”

Her child answered on behalf of her speechless mother.

“Ha. It’s not my last name, and it’s not your last name, so you’re my son? Are you kidding me?”
“What’s wrong with you, oppa? How much it hurts a child to be tested like that. Should I be suspicious of my son like that?”
“I’m not suspecting the kid, I’m suspecting you. I have nothing more to say, so get out. Before you call the cops. And don’t come back.”

When I saw my ex-wife, I was very surprised, but the more I talked, the more angry I got.
Where did you come to shamelessly come here? I’m going to do genetic testing as the court orders, but do you think it will work if I just insist that it’s my baby?

But I couldn’t be loud just because I was pissed off. Because Soyoung will come down soon.

“Mister! I’m sorry I’m late!”

See you’re already here
Wearing her new school uniform, So-young ran up to Kyung-chul and crossed her arms.
It was a difficult situation on both sides of the light rail line.

“But who is this lady? Does she know?”

Curiosity rises in So-young’s eyes when she sees a woman she doesn’t know next to Kyung-chul. Kyung-chul was difficult to explain.
She may have seen stories about her own divorce or lawsuits on the Internet, but she’s never told them in person.

He wasn’t talking unnecessarily. If she had known this was going to happen, she should have pretended not to know and she should have passed quickly.

“…No, nothing to worry about. Let’s go.”

However, regardless of Kyung-chul’s will, he started talking with the women.

“Brother. Who is he? A high school student?”
“Me? I’m your housemate?”
“Inmate?”

Her ex-wife widened her eyes at So-young’s words.
Gyeong-chul begged in his heart not to complicate things. There was no way that his feelings were conveyed to Soyoung.

“Oh my God, he pretended to be clean. Is he a high school student? Oppa, this is a crime. You know?”

Kyung-cheol didn’t do anything dishonest, but seeing So-young’s remarks about living together and his close attitude to the point of crossing arms, he thought it was inevitable that he would be misunderstood.
However, So-yeong did not lose a word to such an ex-wife and fought back.

“Funny. What does the auntie care? Whom I live with, whoever you live with, what does the auntie care?”

So-young doesn’t avoid her eyes and talks back to her.
Then, she clapped her hands as if she had suddenly thought of So-young and said.

“Ah, I got it! Auntie is that adulterous woman!”
“What? An adulteress?!”

Seeing his ex-wife raise her eyebrows, So-yeong smiled and said,

“Do you know that Ajumma is very famous on the Internet these days? Her face and identity have been exposed. Fraudulent marriage, fraudulent divorce and fraudulent childbirth. She is probably the most famous prostitute in Korea right now?”
“Tea, slut? Look at the nasty things a young bitch says to an adult. Did your parents teach you anything but home education?!”
“By the way, just because ajumma hangs out with any guy, can you please stop thinking that everyone else is the same? Uncle and I, unlike you, have a very clean relationship? Stop lingering on me.”
“This…!”

In the end, his ex-wife, unable to overcome her anger, swung her hand, but the hand was caught by Kyung-chul before it hit So-young in the face. It was possible because Kyung-cheol was preparing his mind that his ex-wife would explode at any moment.

“Don’t do useless things and go back. Don’t you know that doing this will only put you at a disadvantage?”

Her ex-wife, who grabbed her arm, glared at Kyung-cheol with eyes that seemed to shoot to death.

“And so-young stop you too. What is she doing to an adult?”
“Hi-in~ Mister, you’re scared~♡”

Namura hugged Kyung-chul’s waist while So-yeong acted cutely to her.
At the same time, she did not forget to stick her tongue out at her aunt, who was trembling in front of her eyes.

“Okay, go back now. Then I’ll pretend that nothing happened today. From now on, if you have something to say, do it through a lawyer.”
“Mom, I want to go home. Let’s go home.”

The young son also grabbed the hem of his ex-wife’s skirt and began to swarm.
The ex-wife, who was shaking and glaring at the two, eventually took her son and turned around.

“Phew…”

When he finally couldn’t see his ex-wife, Kyung-chul let out a sigh of relief.
And he begged me not to come back again.

“Lee So-young. You play too much. Then you’ll get scolded someday.”
“Oh why. I didn’t tell a single lie. To be honest, you were delighted too, right? I’m blown away!”
“Ugh. Let’s not talk.”

As Kyung-cheol goes to get her tea, So-yeong still clings to her with her arms crossed.

“Mister. We’re not in a good mood. Shall we skip school and go for a drive? Let’s go to the beach. Yes?”
“Do you really want to see me beaten to death by your mother?”
“Ahaha! Do I really have to kill him? I’m sure he’ll break his leg, though. Then I’ll take all your urine and faeces until you get better.”
“Don’t say anything terrible. And…”

Kyung-chul stopped talking when he heard the sound of a car engine behind him.
This is the underground parking lot of the apartment. There shouldn’t be any sudden speeding up of the car.

“Ah.”

However, the car ran towards the two as if it had suddenly accelerated.

Time passes slowly. She felt Soyoung’s body stiffen next to her.

She had no time to catch up on the situation and sleep. Gyeong-cheol embraced So-young with the determination that even So-young should be saved, and threw herself at her.
All he had to do was avoid the car. As a result, Kyung-chul could not confirm what was at the place where he threw his body.

A large pillar in the underground parking lot was approaching in front of me. Kyung-chul somehow wrapped himself around So-young so that she wouldn’t get hurt.

Fuck!

“Ugh.”

Kyung-chul’s side head hit the parking lot pillar head-on.

Oh It was cooked.
In an instant, Kyung-cheol sensed that it was not an unusually hard bump.
The side hairs were damp. I can’t see it because I’m distracted, but it’s probably bleeding.

And.

Kwak!
What followed was the sound of cars crashing reverberating through the underground parking lot.
It was the sound of a car running towards them hitting the wrong car.

“Mister!!”

So-young barely escaped injury in the arms of Kyung-cheol.
However, when he opened his tightly closed eyes, he saw that Kyung-chul’s face was covered in blood. The same was true of his own school uniform that was attached to Kyung-chul.

“Uncle Uncle!!”

Surprised, So-young called out to Gyeong-cheol anxiously and shook her body.
However, Kyung-cheol, who injured his head, became even more dizzy.

“Hey, don’t lift…”

If you shake it, it hurts more.
With only those words left, Gyeong-cheol passed out.
