Chapter 338 – Episode 338

Looking at things like this, it seems like there is a unique timing in life.

It’s like encountering the same person at the same time and place.

If you climb these stairs as soon as you come down from Seoul, you can capture the images of your family telling your story.

“Hyeonwoo?”

“Shh. “Wait a minute.”

In some ways, it might have been better not to listen.

At least that was the case before.

‘Hyunwoo’s father. When Hyunwoo comes, tell him to get a job. He’s turning 30 next year, 30. How long will I let you live like that?’

Ah… I think this wound lasts a very long time.

I’m sure I’ll remember the happy times for a long time, but the bad ones seem to last even longer. Several months have already passed, and even though I only heard the story in passing, it still remains vivid in my mind.

At that time, I became a broken robot after hearing those words. I couldn’t breathe.

But when I thought about it carefully, I realized that my parents must have been much more distressed and difficult than me.

Humans were such animals.

Even though you can tolerate being scolded and beaten, you cannot tolerate the person next to you being scolded and beaten. What would it have been like if it were even his own child?

I’m not even a person of today’s age, so I couldn’t even say anything to my eldest dad as an adult.

‘… You’ll figure it out. Older brother. Once Hyunwoo comes, I’ll say something, so don’t worry too much.’

That’s all I said.

However, it was different now.

“Yes. I’m doing well.”

Even the voice was different.

My father’s voice as he spoke about me was full of power. It even looks exciting. When I hear that voice, I also get excited. The corner of my mouth just twitched.

“If you’re doing well, I’ll tell you at least some good news. “Isn’t there any news about the child?”

“They say no news is good news, bro.”

“I’m just curious. Because I’m curious. When Hyunwoo comes, ask him that.”

“Which one?”

“I mean girlfriend. girlfriend. I wonder if things are going well with my girlfriend, whom I even talked to on the phone before. “If things are going well, you shouldn’t hold back and get married first.”

After all, an old person. Even though the tempo was different from people these days, it was very different.

Meanwhile, Aebom, who was quietly lowering her upper body behind me, nods her head with a satisfied expression. Looking at her face, it seems like she wants to carry out her father’s words right now.

If I had confessed to her only to her one child and not to her polygamy, I might have already been on her honeymoon with her… ?

“Oh, you’ll figure it out.”

Huh?

A sigh comes out of my father’s mouth, who was a little excited just a moment ago. At that moment, her eldest mother rushes in as if she has caught a gun.

“Wow, really! If there was good news, I announced it right away. Don’t men cut themselves like that? If things had worked out well with that girl I was dating, I would have told my dad and her mom right away and asked them to help with my wedding expenses. It’s quiet because it didn’t work out.”

What does that mean, big mom?

What was shocking was that my father seemed to agree with that statement to some extent.

“Ugh, it’s not like he has a good-looking face because he resembles me.”

I wonder how many times I sigh now.

Besides, if you talk about the face, I think even I will sigh. I am this… I don’t know how many times I got into trouble with a face like rice.

“But she doesn’t know how to make women laugh. It’s not easy for her to become popular with women when she’s such a prick.”

No, Dad!

Is that what dad is going to say to his son now?

“Hehe, everything else is okay. Let’s just stay quiet when Hyunwoo comes. Don’t hurt the child for no reason. Even if everything else is fine, he will be hurt when it comes to women.”

No, something like that…

Didn’t you hear from mom? It’s not? She said that my mom must have seen me and the girls living happily under one roof, and that she thought it would be good for my dad, she said? Besides, she definitely told her mom that she was going down this time, right?

“It’s done. All she had to do was be healthy, just be healthy.”

“That is also true. Health comes first. But health also requires money. “It doesn’t work if you don’t have money and just be healthy.”

“How can a child not open her hands to her parents?”

…

I didn’t think I needed to listen anymore. I guess there’s a long way to go before my image, which is still ingrained in my family, can change.

Well, you have to show me something for it to change.

I have to show it properly today.

“Atta, this is Hyunwoo’s father. Because we can stop talking about Hyunwoo. Just hit it quickly. What do you do all day…”

The old man, who seemed angry because the game wasn’t going well, started yelling at my father and then stopped talking.

It’s because I showed my face.

..? No, I was the one who showed up first. Everyone’s eyes are behind me. At this level, it’s not like I’m being treated as invisible, it’s just that I really can’t be seen.

“What… ? “Am I dreaming right now?”

My younger sister, Hyuna Kim, who was playing yut, was the first to start the rhyme as always.

Even though he behaves subtly in front of everyone, in situations like this, he can’t hold back and shows signs of indifference.

But, I understand.

If I think about it carefully, I think I had the same reaction as those people when I first encountered Ohana and Hanae Bom. It’s blurry because it was so long ago.

“… “No, who are you?”

My cousin Kim Hyun-min replaced everyone’s hearts.

That’s right. The question of who one is.

Because on a holiday, a woman I didn’t even know who wasn’t invited, and a beauty so beautiful that even her grandfather’s eyes widened when he said she had dim eyes, suddenly came with me…

Anyone would react like that.

“Tongue, Hyunwoo. Who on earth is that person? Are you coming with me?”

My dad must have been so embarrassed that he stuttered.

Meanwhile, looking at her mother’s shocked expression, I realized how this situation had come to be.
The cause of the situation was clearly written on her mother’s face.

‘Oh my. I forgot.’

… A face called.

Well, my mother is friendly, and I am a light person. He was always late for appointments, and sometimes he forgot his schedule when he was drinking.

If I had known this would happen, I think I would have told my dad.

I was still reluctant to call my dad, so I told my mom, and this is what happened.

But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

‘Does it feel good?’

Is this why people prepare unexpected hidden cameras and surprises?

In nearly 30 years of living, this is the first time in my life that I have seen people from the Kim family make faces like that. It wasn’t like that even when I showed Han Ae Bom a picture and made her call.

Perhaps a few people may have thought that I was just asking a close friend for help. Even if it weren’t for that, anyone would be surprised if the person in the photo actually appeared in reality.

“Here is…”

For a moment, I hesitated about how to introduce Hanaebom.

If I think about it carefully, the brakes in my life had long since disappeared when I declared polygamy.

“My name is Han Ae-bom, and she is even thinking of marrying me.”

At that moment, coffee spurted out of her grandmother’s mouth as she quietly sipped her coffee.
Cough, cluck.

I was surprised.

* * *

The house was turned upside down. I really couldn’t use any other expression than this.

Is this what it would feel like if the World Singing Contest, one of our country’s traditional programs, was held right under our noses? Everyone looks at Han Ae Bom here and there as if they were looking at a celebrity or an alien.

It was so pretty that I couldn’t bear to touch it, so I just stared at it from afar.

Meanwhile, Aebom opened her mouth. In a very polite yet straightforward manner.

“Hello. My name is Han Ae-bom and, as Hyun-woo said, I am seriously thinking about getting married and am I working hard. It’s really nice to meet you like this.”

An exclamation burst from everyone’s mouths.

“Oh my god, the doll can talk.”

“It might be a 3D printing robot made based on AI, grandma. I heard that science and technology have advanced so much these days.”

“Watama, I didn’t know what the voice that made my jade beads roll was. “I understand now.”

Her grandmother especially liked it very much.

“Oh my, our Hyunwoo is finally meeting a woman. Also, bring such a pretty sexy girl! Oh my, what can I do, how can I do it? Our Hyunwoo, what a beautiful grandson and granddaughter he must have done so that he could be born. “I’ll show you to this old lady before she dies.”

The grandfather next to me also shed his usual quiet demeanor and spoke in a kind voice.

“Both of you, take off your shoes and come up. It was hard to come a long way. There is no need for you to take your turn. “Did you eat?”

“I did a good job. “Aren’t you going to eat rice cake soup later?”

“I’ll eat it later.”

I nodded.

“Then I’ll just eat rice cake soup. Oh, what do you want to do, Aebom?”

“Well, I’ll eat some too.”

With the appearance of Han Ae-bom, the atmosphere of the holiday that I saw every year changed 180 degrees. Really.

It felt like a habitual way to kill time, with the same feeling every time, like gears always turning. It was broken properly this time.

It wasn’t just the atmosphere that changed. Everything about me has changed.

“Oh, good job, my son. In the end, you brought Aebom all the way to Busan. Even during the holidays!”

Her mother, who had completely forgotten about my contact, quickly turned a blind eye to Aebom, who pretended nothing had happened. My mom is also a really great person.

“It’s been a while, mom.”

“Ayu, my baby Bom was like that when I saw her before, but why is she so polite? She’s so adorable I’m dying. How are Hana and Suah doing?”

“Yes.”

Han Ae-bom didn’t bother to say that the two women also wanted to come here today.
To keep adults from finding out that I’m pursuing polygamy? Probably not. She was just doing it to gain an upper hand over those two women.

“Omg. It’s awesome, really. I can’t believe it even when I see it with my own eyes. “My brother and I are dating such a pretty sister?”

“Wow, how on earth did you get it?”

In a way, you could say that having such doubts is because you don’t have that much faith in yourself.

I didn’t feel particularly bad.

Rather, it feels like her shoulders are lifting above her head. I thought it was a bad thing to show off about myself through a woman, but it was a fact that my treatment and value changed after I came with Han Ae Bom.

Just because I deny this on my own doesn’t change anything.

Furthermore, she came down to Busan with me for that purpose in the first place even though she was busy publishing her novel.
And, there was someone who liked this situation more than me.

Haha, haha. Haha!”

It was my dad.

My dad is as calm as possible in front of everyone? Reticence? Or maybe it’s because it’s quiet. Laughing non-stop like a drunk person from earlier.

It’s the first time in my life I’ve seen my dad look like that.

Even if you win first place in the lottery, there are people who will be a little surprised and think, ‘Oh my, I won this.’ You can even see a screw missing like that.

“Sister, sister! My brother, do you like it a lot? Did it fall off like this?”

I guess she is my sister.

Being able to sincerely comfort me when I’m having a hard time and talk to me like that when I’m doing well. Who else could do that if not my sister?

What was surprising was Han Ae-bom’s answer.

“I like it a lot, too much. Even if I can’t marry Hyunwoo, I will never let him go.”

That’s a bit scary, isn’t it?
