Chapter 131 – Scale (2)

There are days like that in life.

The day when I was dreaming and suddenly realized that it was a dream.

“… Dad!”

Today was that kind of day.

“… “Dad, are you giving me a blank look again?”

I turned my head slightly when I heard my daughter’s voice in my ear.

Looking over my shoulder, a young girl was looking at me with a small frown.

Long flowing black hair.

Bangs that look like they were recently cut, cut straight into a straight line, and detailed facial features that are glaring at me.

Probably around the age of lower elementary school.

As I was just watching, the child ran up to me and leaned on my lap.

The child leaning against her looked up at me, placing his face on my thigh in a familiar motion.

The cute expression and eyes were not something I had tried once or twice.

As she slowly stretched out her hand and gently stroked her child’s hair, the child let out a short sound with his tongue to express his dissatisfaction.

“… Dad and Mom keep nagging me.”

Looking at the child like that, her mouth started moving without even realizing it.

“… Okay? “What did mom say this time?”

“No, I tried to sleep with my dad’s pillow, but he said I couldn’t…”

As if she wanted me to take her side, she smiled happily at the child who was looking at her expectantly and stretched out her arms.

I put her hand between her arms and lifted her up so that she sat on her lap.

Now even my body was moving on its own.

Her small child came into her arms and hugged me with her small arms, nuzzling her face against her chest.

The child’s actions filled her with warmth and warmth.

“… What will Dad say to Mom? We ■■, tell her to stop harassing us?”

“Yes, mom, please scold me.”

She burst out laughing at the child’s strangely serious words and quietly stroked her child.

I picked up her child, leaned her body deeply into her chair, and looked around her.

The only furniture, excluding the chair I’m sitting on, is a wide bed. And there is only one window with iron bars.

It was a bleak room for a house where a child lived.

She didn’t know how long it had been like that when the child suddenly got up from her feet and started talking happily.

“Dad! “Mom wants a snack!”

How did the child who was in her arms just now know?

While she was wondering such a small question, the child must have relaxed and disappeared into the living room, telling her to come out quickly.

I got up from the chair to follow her into the living room, but her legs couldn’t move.

… Huh?

In the end, it rolled on the floor with a thud.

She must have hit her head as she fell, and was just as she was trying to get up, clutching her forehead due to the pain ringing in her head…

“… “Honey?”

Before she knew it, a woman’s feet came into her sight.

The bright red pedicure contrasted with the pale skin and felt fascinating.

The moment I tried to get up from the floor to check her face…

As if the power suddenly turned off, my vision turned pitch black.

“…”

Now even her ears were deaf, so I couldn’t even hear the woman’s voice calling me…

“Kkkk…” .”

My breathing got tight, as if someone was strangling me, and I was about to lose consciousness.

I woke up.

“… “Huh!”

I was startled and quickly stood up.

“Huh… Hmm…”

I took a deep breath and looked around.

Familiar structure, familiar furniture.

I heard a rustling sound next to me and turned my head to see Jiyeon Lee squirming and pulling up the blanket.

“Ha… Ha…”

Of course, I was in the master bedroom.

… Bah, what just happened?

It felt like I had just had a dream, but I couldn’t remember any of it.

It was clearly a very important dream, but there was a hole left, as if the memory had been erased.

I held my heart that was pounding as if it was going to burst, took a deep breath, and tried to calm my tense body.

And the moment I slightly close my eyes and try to trace the traces of my dream by going back in my memories…

… Sigh.

I felt a sharp pain in the corner of my head, as if I had hit something.

… Why does it hurt?

I had obviously just woken up, but it felt throbbing, as if my head had been hit against a wall.

I was sitting blankly touching my head in inexplicable pain.

“…”

Something…, I’m sure I forgot something, but I forgot.

I took my hand off my slightly sunken head and inadvertently touched my left wrist to check the time, but I didn’t feel anything.

… Ah.

The smartwatch that Baek Ga-eun gave as a gift was fully charging.

At first, I wore it without thinking about it, but now it was difficult to live without it.

I immediately looked for my cell phone that I had left by my bedside and checked it…

[3:56 AM]

It was 3:56 in the morning, a long time left before I had to wake up.

… Let’s sleep a little more.

I let out a short sigh and slowly laid down on the bed.

I closed my eyes, feeling a strange warmth in the dimly lit light of the mood light.

*

[Dad!, Hayun wants to eat that…]

She chewed her crispy toast and stared blankly at the TV.

There was a broadcast on TV about celebrities taking care of their children, and perhaps they were carefully selected, but all of them were cute.

[I don’t think Hayun is like that.

I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched the child firmly draw a line against her father who tried to feed her vegetables.

“… “Is it that cute?”

I flinched at the voice coming from the other side and turned my head to see Jiyeon Lee sipping coffee and looking at me blankly.

“… No, just…, What you’re doing is cute.”

I gave it a try and cut the toast, pretending not to be interested.

While I was cutting the crunchy toast, I felt a subtle gaze and glanced up to see Jiyeon Lee still staring at me.

“… Why, why?”

I was pricked for no reason by her subtle gaze.

Jiyeon Lee, who was looking at me subtly, gently rested her chin and asked.

“… Baby, do you want it?”

“… Uh? … Hey, what is the baby…”

She tried to gloss over it again, but it seemed like she had no intention of ending the topic.

“… “Just wait.”

“… Ugh, huh?”

Jiyeon Lee suddenly took out her phone and started looking for something, and after a while, she put the phone down on the table and said.

“Do you like your daughter or your son?”

What she pushed me to was an app that created the face of her future child based on photos of her man and woman.

“… Do something like this. It’s useless anyway.”

The moment I pretended not to be interested and turned my attention to the TV.

“… “I’ll make it my son?”

“… Ta, let’s take it as a daughter.”

… Ah.

I ended up reacting reflexively to Jiyeon Lee’s words.

She smiled and touched her phone, and after a while, the results came out.

She was a child of about 8 or 9 years old, and because it was based on Lee Ji-yeon’s photo, she had dark brown short hair like hers.

“… Oh…”

When I actually tried it, it was a bit surprising.

Her eyes look a bit like Jiyeon Lee, but the bridge of her nose looks a bit like mine.

Without realizing it, I was immersed in the photo and was looking at it carefully, when Jiyeon Lee suddenly snatched her cell phone.

She put away her cell phone and spoke quietly while holding a cup of coffee.

“… Of course, not a daughter.”

“… Why?”

As she questioned her sudden words, Jiyeon Lee spoke quietly while sipping her coffee.

“… If you like your daughter more than me…, I think I might be a little jealous.”

…

For some reason, there was sincerity in her words.

“… Okay, let’s just live by ourselves.”

I took her words in stride and managed to change the subject…

[What about Dad and Mom?

There were still cute girls on TV.

…

After eating breakfast and spending some time, it was almost time to go to work.

While I was putting on her clothes and reflecting on my movements, Jiyeon Lee suddenly came into her dressing room and adjusted my clothes without a word.

“…”

I watched her quietly, receiving her touch.

Jiyeon Lee, who was removing the dust from her collar, lifted her head and looked at me with a weak smile.

He smiled slightly and lightly kissed her lips.

A light kiss, as if confirming each other’s affection.

For some reason, I felt sorry for Lee Ji-yeon, who seemed to be weak these days.

Not long ago, after she confessed to having skinship with Baek Ga-eun, she acted like someone who had lost some of her strength.

… Just like when I was caught kissing Hyeon Ha-yeon.

I cautiously asked her if something was wrong, but she stopped me and told me not to hang out with other bitches.

Even if there were ten mouths, there was nothing to say.

After getting ready to leave the house, I was seeing Jiyeon Lee off and putting on her shoes.

She leaned against the wall of her entrance and spoke softly.

“… “Will you come early today?”

Her head turned quickly at her words.

In fact, after sending Hyeon Ha-yeon in today, I was planning to stop by Baek Ga-eun’s house and then come back.

As much as she was sorry, she wanted to spend her time with her, but Ji-yeon Lee hit her first.

“… “I’ll come and see you as soon as possible.”

It was an ambiguous answer, but she seemed to be very satisfied. She smiled briefly, kissed her on the lips, and left her house.

On the way down to the parking lot.

“… Ha.”

Out of frustration, I let out a deep sigh without realizing it.

No matter how much I said I didn’t mean it, it was very tiring to continue dating these three women.

It feels like walking on thin ice while being monitored 24 hours a day.

Today is a day that doesn’t require coordination, so only Hyeon Hayeon and I move.

The schedule ended with a simple interview, so it was virtually like a date in the car.

I don’t know how to calm her down when she asks for skinship. Her head is already starting to hurt.

Hyeon Ha-yeon is not the only problem.

What about Baek Ga-eun?

Maybe it’s because it’s my first love, but my heart is hitting on me with the intention of giving me all my possessions.

The more it happened, the more my guilt grew and weighed on my heart.

Ironically, her body and mind are longing for Baek Ga-eun…

When you return home after dealing with those girls, your future wife will be waiting for you.

I already have a record, so even the slightest suspicion can lead to big trouble.

When I treat her with attention to her every word and action, I find myself sighing deeply.

… I don’t know, really.

I thought that it would be nice for the curse and everything to end quickly and be free.

When will that empty heart fill up?

I once again felt resentful of my past self, wondering how vicious I had been to be cursed like this.

With a short sigh, I got off at the parking lot I had already arrived at.

The moment you get into your parked car and try to start it…

[Tiring~]

My cell phone rang briefly, and I checked and saw that it was a message from Baek Ga-eun.

[Oppa, are you busy right now?]

[No, I’m going to work now.]

After replying briefly and starting the car, another message arrived.

[Then can you take a look and see if this is pretty?]

And then he sent me some photos.

“… Crazy.”

In the photo she sent, there was a picture of Baek Ga-eun reflected in her full-length mirror.

Wearing fishnet stockings that go up to her lower abdomen, barely covering her nipples with one arm.

It was so lewd that cursing came out as soon as I saw it.

[How is it? I sent it to you to encourage you.]

[Should I wear this and wait?]

I was distraught when I saw the message that followed.

… I ruined Baek Ga-eun.

For ruining that innocent child like this…, My sin was deep.

Contrary to her feelings, she felt resentful of her body, which had become slightly excited with anticipation.

… Come to your senses, superhuman!

She quickly deleted the photo and sent a message to Baek Ga-eun.

[I feel strong, thank you.]

I let out a short sigh and continued the message.

[But, I think it will be a bit difficult to stop by today…, I have some work to do, so I think I should go home right away.]

She must have been reading my message, and there was a read sign next to it.

[Ah…]

There were a lot of emotions contained in the short reply.

After a while, she received another message from her.

[I can’t help it, please stop by when you have time.]

Baek Ga-eun must have tried her best to send it calmly, and she even sent a cute emoticon.

After thinking for a while, I sent a small heart instead of replying.

[♥]

[I love you too♥]

When I saw her reply right away, I felt sick to my stomach.

I left the parking lot, trying to comfort my sore stomach.

Now, it was time to focus on Hyeon Ha-yeon.
