Chapter 184 – Episode 184

Polygamy in Korea?

Even if you don’t ask anyone, no one knows that it’s crazy. Of course, I knew. So I never said that story out loud. It’s the perfect way to ask someone if they’re crazy and throw them into a mental hospital.

However, I always kept it in mind in the back of my mind.

A wedding dream I suddenly had a long time ago.

It could have been passed off as a dream, but somehow it felt so real.

There, I couldn’t confirm who the bride was, and furthermore, all my friends told me that it was a decision that only I could make.

From then on, I was already slightly interested in polygamy, which everyone said was crazy.

Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Zambia…

While looking for countries where polygamy is possible, I don’t know how many countries I came across for the first time. I thought a few times about moving to the Middle East, where polygamy is allowed.

“…”

It was a very weak and cowardly excuse, but I felt like I couldn’t live in the Middle East. I was a native Korean. People are said to be adaptable animals, but I will die before I can adapt, or I will die of homesickness.

One way or another, dying is the same.

‘So I was giving up.’

I did.

This time, my thoughts changed as I faced Han Se-ryong and Shin Hae-in. If you think the same way as others and try to be good while looking at what others think, you will never be like them.

Does that mean polygamy?

It’s true that it’s still crazy bullshit. So, I anticipated the appropriate reactions and prepared my mind to handle them.

“Have you already heard from Aebom? Or did you install a wiretapping device in your house?”

I’m a bit confused by the reaction.

What does that mean?

“I never said anything like that to Hyunwoo. Also, is there room in this house to install a wiretapping device?”

I don’t know why, but one Aebom, whose mood seemed to have calmed down, looked at me and opened her mouth.

“How did you suddenly start thinking about polygamy?”

“Oh, that’s it. As I said before, we needed something that wouldn’t easily break our relationship even if it caused a little bit of discomfort. I saw it as marriage.”

When I say the word ‘marriage’ again, her face heats up. She is a person who can’t even tell her mother that she loves her because she is embarrassed, so what can she do?

“Of course, just because you get married doesn’t mean you will never break up. There is also a system called divorce. But at least I think it is a much stronger deterrent than the childish promises we just made between ourselves.”

“Right. Right. A couple is much more attached than a lover. They say a married couple is of one mind.”

Why is he like this again?

Ohana, who just a moment ago looked depressed and seemed like she would be stuck in her corner, is now smiling excitedly as if she had received a surprise birthday present. At that level, the corners of your mouth will really get in your ears, right?

“So, brother, is that you? I will try my best to get married to all of us here. Although that effort included fucking other women. “Is this all, so you can get married to us?”

“Yeah, something like that.”

Even laughing while crying is scary enough.

“Oh my gosh, if that’s the case, you shouldn’t have said that from the beginning! Why are you lifting and dropping a person’s liver! “If you had explained it well from the beginning, I wouldn’t have to worry so much!”

“… This is what I did from the beginning. “Be as concise as possible.”

As soon as we get home, let’s all get married!

… It would be scarier to scream.

“If that were the case, would you have listened to the story properly? “They would have hit me on the back of the head with a hammer right away, knocked me unconscious, and then taken me to a mental hospital.”

Ohana thought for a moment and then nodded.

“That’s true.”

That’s not right, bitch.

“Still, I don’t know how many times my heart has been pounding because I was thinking about breaking up already.”

“You have to listen to people’s stories until the end. I’m not doing this because I don’t want to break up somehow.”

“I know, I know… Now I know. But, I am neither Aebom nor Sua.”

“…”

Ohana made a bitter expression this time.

Glancing at Aebom and Suah Yoon, she opened her mouth.

“She’s not as smart as Aebom, and because she comes from a wealthy family, she can’t provide any help.”

“…”

“But that doesn’t mean I can do housework as well as Su-ah, or blindly trust my brother that he can do anything.”

As I listened to the story in silence, I was a little taken aback.

It was the first time Ohana showed such lack of confidence. What on earth did we talk about yesterday while I was in Hwamong?

“At best, she is a woman with good physical strength, and her only advantage is that she is an idiot. Oh, and your face is a little smoother?”

Ohana asked with a slightly fearful expression.

“Is it okay to be a woman like that? Even though she is that kind of woman… Do you think you want to marry me?”

To that question, I really didn’t hesitate for even a second.

I answered confidently, as if I was stating the obvious fact that I am a man.

“Uh. “I want to do it.”

“… !”

“Because I married you. What resembles me is… A bit like that. Having children who look just like you and living happily would be the end point of my life and the greatest happiness.”

At that moment, Ohana looked at me with her trembling eyes. Soon, she nods her head vigorously.

“If you say it that way, I can’t help it. Because I want to have a lot of children like my brother. “I should cheer for you.”

As a single teardrop fell down, a smile bloomed on Ohana’s face. Watching that makes her feel very strange.
I don’t know whether to be happy or sorry about this.

‘Really, even if you search all 8 billion people, I’d be the only kid on earth who proposes like this.’

Wouldn’t even God approve of this?

What kind of bastard in the world would propose like this and confidently get permission to have sex with another woman?

The emperor of a time when polygamy was taken for granted would not have done this.

‘Fuck. I’m crazy.’

I enjoy a sense of self-destruction along with self-reflection.

This time, Han Ae-bom spoke.

“So, it’s not that Hyunwoo is the chairman of Hanban Group or that he’s dating other women to become a much greater person than he is now. “Are you saying that you want to grow up and marry all of us with confidence?”

“It feels like which came first, the egg or the chicken. To put it bluntly… Yes, that’s how it feels.”

Han Ae-bom laughs at my answer.

“It hasn’t changed as much as I thought.”

“Yes?”

“I thought that if I went to Hwamong and spent the night, things would change quite a bit. “I still think he’s the Hyunwoo I know.”

“Are you disappointed?”

“Well. Even though I did this, I thought I would be very disappointed to see my appearance still the same. Surprisingly… “I’m surprised and relieved.”

“Really?”

Han Ae-bom, who had been shooting sharply until a moment ago, has now relaxed as softly as spring.

“They say a place makes a person, right?”

“Yes.”

“So I thought Hyunwoo would also change accordingly. Her grandfather must have told her about the owner of the Hanban Group. The women of Hwamong, who recognized Hyunwoo’s worth, would have said many different things.”

I scratched my cheek.

“What. “I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel that way even once.”

In fact, when Han Se-ryong told me that I might be able to do it, it was for his trust. Furthermore, a strong ambition arose in my heart because I wanted to be equal to that person.

“But, I am a very small person. What can I say… Should we say that it is too much or too little? The happiness I want is right here. I don’t want to miss out on this little bit of happiness by being greedy. Haha.”

I laughed because it was awkward.

As expected, I was very embarrassed to say this.

“By all means, my happiest moments were when I was with you all. It’s not about becoming the chairman of Hanban Group, and it’s certainly not about breaking up with you and finding a better woman. I like now, right now. It’s just right.”

“It means that we will try to protect the present.”

“Yes.”

Han Ae-bom laughed, sighing.

“I like it too, right now. There’s the stupid Ohana, and there’s the kind Sua. “I think the moment I’m with Hyunwoo is the happiest of my life.”

“…”

“…”

We didn’t know that Han Ae-bom would say something like that, so Yoon Su-ah and I were left with our mouths wide open.

Ohana, who had been watching quietly from behind, could not bear it and opened her mouth.

“Oh my god… Sister, did you know you would say something like that? Secretly, I liked it too. This tsundere thing. Woohoo!”

“Okay. I told you. Even stupid Ohana likes it. Because it’s rare to find someone as foolish as you. It’s delicious to see.”

“What?! “The nuance is completely different from what I said earlier!”

“It must be an illusion. And I told you not to speak informally, right? How many times should I tell you? What about this monkey? No. A monkey would be better than you.”

“Whoa, monkey… !”

With the two people bickering, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxes.

Now it definitely felt like I was back to ‘normal’.

No. From beginning to end, there were people who were the same as usual throughout. I swallowed my saliva and carefully opened my mouth.

“Um, Su-ah?”

“Yes?”

“Soo-ah… “Are you not particularly angry or disappointed with me?”

“I am? To Hyunwoo?”

That’s exactly the voice that answers.

The voice that comes out when you hear nonsense. At the same time, it was a voice that could be made when one was convinced that such a thing could never happen.

He was the one who nodded even when I told him about my goal of polygamy, citing strange reasons. Rather, I can’t accept what I just said.

It was scary in a different way.

I feel this every time, but what on earth is Yoon Su-ah thinking about?

‘I wish you would treat me a little harshly. Please hit me hard and swear without hesitation.’

This person, without fail, gave me shock and fear every time he took off a layer of skin. What else are they hiding this time?

“Otherwise, what do you think, Su-ah? Marrying me. And after she gets married, she even gives birth to children.”

“I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to do that. If such a miracle happens… Seriously, I’m not kidding, I might end up founding a religion.”

“Huh?”

Even though I was belatedly thinking about Yun Su-ah’s health, I couldn’t help but think about the story of her founding a religion that came out of nowhere.
What is that story again?

“Ah! Ah! Don’t ask weird questions to Su-ah. “Oppa!”

“Yes, Hyunwoo. You don’t have to ask Su-ah about that. “When has Su-ah ever disappointed Hyun-woo?”

I was even more puzzled as I watched Oh Hana and Han Ae Bom hurriedly intervene. The two people’s reactions are even more suspicious? It feels like I’m hiding something that only I don’t know about…

‘Hmm. Honestly, I’m curious.’

Still, should I say that it is a feeling of uneasiness that creeps up?

It felt like a bit of a Pandora’s box that I shouldn’t open yet, so I tried to calm my curiosity and asked Ohana.

“Now that I think about it, why didn’t you go to work? “Today isn’t even the weekend.”

Ohana lit a double wick in her eyes.

“No! How can I go to work with peace of mind when we’re having such an important conversation like today? Are you saying that now? Or what? Are you uncomfortable with me being involved in such an important story?! “You don’t like it!”

“Well, I was just asking because I was curious.”

“Oh yeah? Well then, speaking of which, it’s good. “I have some questions too, so I’ll ask.”

“Okay. Feel free to ask.”

…
She said confidently.

“So, how was it? I feel like I slept with another woman. Was it good? “It was good, right?”

“…”

Isn’t this a question that can be answered comfortably?

As the women’s gaze became increasingly sharper, cold sweat ran down my forehead.
