Chapter 281 – Episode 281
Toy claw machine or coin karaoke…
I was thinking about something like that, but he returned home carrying shopping bags without doing anything. When he came back, he took a taxi, not the subway.
In times like this, isn’t it a taxi that you should take?
“Hmm.”
When I returned home, I leaned back in the alley of my studio apartment and sucked on the candy I had in my mouth. I had the mindset that I would succeed in quitting smoking this time. In fact, I feel like I have become much more determined than when I first started quitting smoking.
I think it’s probably because I started thinking more seriously about my future with my girlfriends. Before, I only vaguely thought that it would be nice to be able to achieve polygamy.
Now I feel like I’m a little closer to that dream.
[Essential Quest]
[Let’s get permission from Oh Hana’s father, Oh Cheol-ho, to pursue her celebrity activities.]
[0/1]
[Reward: Stamina +1, Stamina +1, Strength +1, Agility +1, Fragment of ■■]
[The above quest is a quest that must be cleared at all costs. If you refuse, all rewards given from quests so far will be recovered.]
[Epic Quest]
[Yoon Su-ah’s Joy 4/Let’s get permission from her family.]
[0/1]
[Reward: 1 million won, stamina +1, stamina +1, strength +1, elixir (replica)]
[If you fail, it will be a lot of trouble in the future.]
Looking at the quests given this time, all of them were about getting permission from my girlfriends’ parents. What does it mean to meet both parents?
Ultimately, it means getting closer to marriage.
That’s right. Just like everyone who wants to get married has a meeting.
‘I finally made it this far.’
Looking at these quests gives me a new feeling.
Obviously, at first, we weren’t even girlfriends, we were just housemates. Before I knew it, I had come this far.
“It’s amazing, it’s amazing.”
He rolled the lollipop in his mouth and let out a chuckle.
Marriage. Polygamy.
I vaguely thought it was a distant dream, but if I keep moving forward one step at a time, I eventually get closer.
“Huh, I guess I’ll have to meet Ohana’s father to find out.”
Did you say Oh Cheol-ho?
Just by hearing Ohana’s story, that person could tell that her personality was dirty, so he couldn’t do anything about it. In the end, you’ll have to hit it with your body.
However, Yoon Su-ah’s family is a bit different.
In what way and with what feeling should we reunite Yoon Su-ah with them? What kind of feelings should we have to face each other with joy?
That was my biggest concern right now.
‘It’s a good thing. When I was somewhat relaxed, these things happened one after another.’
The water park, Ohana and Yoon Su-ah’s work, and the work of Stutty Café that Kim Seol-hwa will introduce.
Coincidentally, I came here just after work at Mintrain was over. If those things had happened while I was working at the company, I might have really cracked my head from stress.
‘Is this all part of the quest?’
Assuming that’s the case, I can’t help but be horrified. It’s like I’m moving in the palm of my hand.
“… What. Good things are good.”
[…]
I decided not to think too deeply about it. Wow, my head hurts.
As long as the results are good, that’s all. Isn’t it?
“Let’s make a phone call first.”
I’m also not the type of person who can make a thorough plan before doing anything. In that case, let’s maximize my strengths.
The headbutting dinosaur wasn’t strong because it used its brain well.
He’s strong because he’s good at headbutting.
“Soo-ah! Family phone number… Could you please give me some…”
I trailed off as I went up to smoke candy instead of cigarettes? That’s because Yoon Su-ah was waiting wearing a maid uniform.
“Why a maid uniform?”
“This is because it stabilizes my mind and body in many ways. Now, maid clothes are more comfortable than any other clothes.”
“Ah… I see.”
It’s unique, in many ways.
“Maybe a family phone number? Are you memorizing it?”
“Yes… I can’t remember it. I pressed it dozens or hundreds of times whenever I was in danger. “Sometimes, I even complained about trivial matters.”
I thought as I looked at Yoon Su-ah’s face full of regret. I hope that expression changes to a smile quickly.
“It will be fine. Just by listening to Su-a’s story so far, I can tell how much Su-a’s family likes her.”
“…”
“Soo-ah, whom I like so much, has become so healthy. There’s no way he wouldn’t like it when he sees that, right?”
Yoon Su-ah nods her head with a slightly lighter face.
“What you said is correct, master. Thanks to this, I think she will be able to face her family with a more relaxed face.”
Before I knew it, her hand was holding my arm.
I said while squeezing her hand.
“Do not worry. “I will go with you.”
“… Yes!”
Yun Su-ah’s eyes widened happily. Seeing that scene fills my heart with pride. The slight anxiety and worry melted away as if washing away her eyes.
Is there anything I can’t do for the happiness of that beautiful woman?
Okay. I will do everything I can. Everything.
[Yoon Su-ah’s father, Yoon Su-ho]
I took a deep breath, checking the newly registered phone number in my phone book. As a customer, I’m the type of person who gets nervous even when I call customer service. My heart starts pounding as I think that I am contacting Yoon Su-ah’s father directly and not someone else.
I guess I really have colphobia. So, phone phobia.
“Master…”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
If Yoon Su-ah is watching next to me, I feel like I won’t be able to concentrate and make mistakes.
I picked up the phone and went outside.
I took a deep breath of hot air into my lungs and called without hesitation.
「Turrrr, turrr!」
Why does the ringtone seem to ring so quickly? . Part of me hoped that people would take it a little more leisurely.
-Who are you?
I flinched as the call was connected before it even rang properly. I reflexively spat out unorganized words and struck her chest.
The popping sound was so loud that it could be heard over the phone.
-Hey?
In the meantime, I took a deep breath and opened my mouth. Now I know that if you’re going to talk like a fool, it’s just as bad as saying it late.
“Are you by any chance Yun Su-ah’s father?”
-… Yes. That’s right?
As soon as Yoon Su-ah’s name comes out, the mood drops.
It was a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t care and spoke as calmly as possible.
“Hello, my name is Kim Hyun-woo and I have been living with Yoon Su-ah for 7 months. In a way, you can think of him as a guardian.”
-…
Although there was no return at all from the other side.
I calmly told Yoon Su-ah’s story from beginning to end. She told me how she and I met, what time Yoon Su-ah had been since we met, and how healthy she was.
The last time I brought up the subject of her permission. Only then did a very heavy voice return from the other side.
-Allowed, not allowed.
“…”
-It may sound selfish, but. Yes. I can never allow it. I will take Su-ah home right away, even tomorrow. Please call me the address.
“Father, Su-ah…”
-That’s it! Call me for the address! Does her father need a reason to take his own daughter?! I don’t want to hear anymore. Call me for the address right away. Otherwise, I will report it to the police.
Yun Su-ah’s father listened to the story very quietly. I was wondering if things would turn out well like this. As expected, that didn’t happen.
“…”
I had no intention of complaining about this.
It is called Yeokjisaji (易地思之). What if it were me? If I were Yoon Su-ah’s father, would I have been able to say ‘Yes, please’ and give permission because it was cool here… No way. It will never happen.
On the contrary, she might have been more disappointed if she had given permission right away for the sake of her daughter.
‘It’s interesting, something.’
It’s definitely not something I expected this far in advance.
I was opening my mouth so calmly. As if I expected it.
“I’ll call you the address.”
-Yes… Really, thank you. I will never forget the reward and grace I received from Su-ah.
“No.”
There was really no need to be thankful.
Because I had no intention of handing over Yoon Su-ah like this. Because I had no intention of ending the epic quest in failure. So far, we have boasted a 100 percent success rate. Now you want to leave a stain on the prison?
That’s funny.
I was the guy who succeeded in every quest.
That was me, Hyunwoo Kim.
“You can come here.”
-Yes. All right. I will come visit you right away tomorrow.
As soon as I finished my business, I didn’t go in right away as the phone suddenly hung up. I lifted the phone once more.
“Oh, space. “Can we open the store a little early tomorrow?”
-Of course, master.
I slightly smiled at the approval I heard from across the room.
Okay. Let’s give it a try.
As much as I like Yoon Su-ah, when she comes to the place I called her tomorrow, it will be difficult for her to be as pushy or as strong as she is now.
[Epic Quest]
[Yoon Su-ah’s Joy 4 / Let’s get permission from her family her.]
[0/1]
[Reward: 1 million won, stamina +1, stamina +1, strength +1, elixir (replica)]
[If you fail, it will be a lot of trouble in the future.]
You, prepare to hand out the elixir.
After giving a strong threat to Quest, I went up to see Yoon Su-ah waiting for me with worried eyes.
“Master. No, Hyunwoo… What should I do? How should. Town.”
I covered Yun Su-ah’s mouth with a kiss and stroked the back of her head.
“Just do it as usual, wearing the outfit you’re most confident in… That’s enough. Su-ah, there is nothing to worry about. When have I ever lied to Su-ah?”
Yoon Su-ah’s eyes become hazy.
“No, not at all. Hyunwoo always gave me miracles.”
Hmm. First, I have to tell you to hide those eyes. Your family might be shocked and start a fight. No. Won’t he grab me by the collar first?
While I was seriously worried, the next day arrived.
*
I hope you’ll be okay.
To be honest, I was much more nervous than Yoon Su-ah. What should I say? Is it because my impression is too shitty? Or maybe it’s because I’m not trustworthy.
First, it did not make a good first impression on Han Ae-bom’s father.
‘No. Is it any weirder to make a good first impression back then?’
I’m so drunk that I can’t even remember Han Ae-bom’s father’s face. It’s a good thing he didn’t make any mistakes.
Hmm. Damn it. The only thing I remember is, ‘Why am I your father!’
I hope it gets off to a good start with Yoon Su-ah’s family.
… Let’s arrive at the address I called, that is, the place where May World is. At a glance, three people who appear to be Yoon Su-ah’s family come into view.
So what should I say?
Should we say that Yoon Su-ah is complete if we just put those three people together? It’s the same, it’s the same.
“Hello, this is Hyunwoo Kim, who I contacted yesterday…”
Even before the words are finished.
The young man ran up to me and grabbed me by the collar.
With all my might, tight.
