Chapter 305 – (Chapter 305) 38. Travel
(Episode 305)
Aside from the origin of the word or negative perceptions, the suggestion of ‘local wife’, which refers to a woman who lives with her like her wife while out of the country, is quite attractive.
It was a trip that started with the intention of experiencing the country deeply while dating a local woman, and since I fell in love as I hoped, it needed an end in some form.
“Shall we go say hello to your parents for the weekend?”
While staying together, ignoring her roommate’s notice, Han Myeong-shik suddenly heard a suggestion and doubted her ears.
“Ji… Really?”
“What are you so surprised about, don’t you want to introduce it to your parents?
“Of course I want to do it, I wanted to do it since we promised to date…”
“You didn’t say anything because you were afraid it would be a burden?”
“Eww… Huh…”
“Then shall we depart on Friday evening?”
“I’ll take a vacation on Friday anyway.”
“Is it that far?”
“The bus doesn’t run often, so it takes more than half a day to get there.”
“Then let’s rent a car and go.”
“Expensive, just take the bus.”
“It’s okay, I have a lot of money. No, should I buy a car at all?”
“What?”
At first, I thought it was a joke, but don’t they go around looking for a real car? Isn’t it a lump sum payment for an extremely expensive German P company SUV?
“Are you sure now that you bought the car under your name?”
“What… What… ?”
“That you are not running away.”
“…”
Even if she ran away, Hazal was a woman who couldn’t think of any profit from selling the car, so Hazal’s eyes widened.
“Turkiye is so fucking spacious!”
Haha, I’ll drive from the next rest stop.”
Since the land area of Turkey is 783,356 km², which is about 7.8 times that of South Korea, Han Myeong-style’s admiring complaints are true.
The road to Yalova on the Marmara Coast, located 40 km southeast of Istanbul, was not too far.
“Wouldn’t there be a shortage of presents?”
“Not enough, too much.”
In addition to the two suitcases each containing clothes, the back seat is full of stuff.
“They’re all necessities for life, right?”
“Stop, I’ll be really mad if you buy more.”
“It’s okay because all I have is money. A gift like this is basic if you want to be allowed to go out with our pretty and kind Hazal.”
Hazal cautiously brought her words out to confirm, albeit belatedly, the questions she had when she bought the car she was currently riding.
“Babe.”
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you buying everything from cars to gifts with debt?”
“I have a lot of credit card debt to look good to you.”
“Ji… Is it real credit card debt?”
“It’s surprising, because all you have is money.”
“Don’t be kidding me, tell me the truth.”
“It’s true, aren’t you worried that you’ll run away carrying the light?”
Looking at his straight and dainty appearance and sophisticated clothes and his usual outspoken spending, he looks like the son of a rich Korean family.
It was hard for Hajjal to readily accept, as he had never seen such a gift given to a woman who had not promised to marry him.
“It’s because I don’t like being in debt because of me, I love myself to the extent that I can’t handle it without a gift like this.”
“I’m serious?”
“Don’t you trust me?”
“Are you sure you don’t trust me and want to check?”
“…”
I have to answer that it’s not because I don’t believe it, but because I don’t believe it.
“How can I trust you?”
“I do not know…”
“Can you confirm with your body right now?”
“Ah… No, the body is good enough. I know you love me.”
“But why are you suspicious?”
“No doubt… , It’s because I can’t believe I’m doing this with you.”
“I think I hit the lottery.”
“Lottery ticket?”
“There are times in life when you are lucky, of course there are times when it is the other way around.”
“I think I met you because God blessed me…”
Although he benefited from his psychic powers, seeing that he met Hazal the day after arriving in Türkiye, wouldn’t it be a blessing from God?
“Still can’t believe it?”
“Eww… Huh.”
“Then why have you been praying hard and following the law?”
“Yeah… For the right life…”
“I just have to believe that God sent me in return for living a righteous life.”
No matter how Muslim, how can I accept this kind of nonsense?
“The happiness he gives is so great that I am afraid of what it will cost later.”
“It’s just the beginning, what if I’m already afraid?”
“City… Is this a start?”
“I’ll show you what a great man I am, so look forward to it.”
The women who were watching live with an action camera felt proud and even proud of the fact that Hajal was enjoying the happiness she would face in the future.
“Do all Korean men look like you?”
“Huh.”
“Pu-huh! No way.”
“I can’t do it because I don’t have money, all Korean men are nice and cool like me.”
“It’s unmistakably true that he’s nice and cool.”
“So you love me?”
“Yes, I love you!”
It is a world ahead of fully autonomous driving, but kissing while driving can be dangerous. It wasn’t until the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) was activated that my lips fell.
✽✽✽✽✽
“Oops! Why are you so pretty?”
“My daughter! How have you been?”
“Welcome, sister!”
The scene of the three families coming out to the front of the house to greet the eldest daughter, who is returning home after a long time with her boyfriend, was like a painting along with the rural scenery.
“This is the Han Myeong-sik from Korea I mentioned.”
“Hello, this is Han Myung-sik. I look forward to.”
It seems that his tall and imposing figure and flawless appearance captured the hearts of Hajal’s parents at once.
“Come on, come on inside.”
“Ugh… How could he be so handsome?”
In particular, Hajal’s older sister’s boyfriend, who takes care of her pocket money separately, is Korean, even though she has few younger brothers, so I liked her more.
“Brother, do you like football? Do you know any teams in Turkiye?”
“I like soccer, but my company is acting as an agent for volleyball players, so I came to like women’s volleyball more.”
“Women’s volleyball? And… Is your brother the boss?”
The father, who had been lost in the back of his son’s bold question, stepped out politely.
“Our country’s women’s volleyball league is the best in Europe.”
“So I came to Turkiye to sign two players from my company. I got a good impression then and found it again.”
“I’ll be busy with business, but I’ve managed to find time to travel.”
“It’s the president’s prerogative, haha”
Hajal, who was trying to help her mother with her housework, stopped and stared blankly at Han Myeong-shik.
“Are you doing business in Korea?”
“No, the company is based in LA, USA.”
“Hazal said you are Korean?”
“I am a native Korean who was born in Korea and graduated from college.”
Then, after pulling out her business card and pushing her father’s back, who couldn’t hide his joy at the courteous gesture, Hazal questioned insinuatingly.
“Honey, why are you so good at Turkish?”
“I learned from you.”
“When I was with you, I only spoke Korean?”
“Don’t you remember when I went with you and translated?”
“It’s been three weeks since we met, and you’ve grown in that time?”
“What am I so surprised about, you speak Korean well since last week.”
“Yeah, but…”
Unbelievable things continue to happen to the point where I can’t come to my senses, but the family screams of joy at the gift bag.
In any case, with the visit of a Korean man who seemed to be a great son-in-law, the atmosphere at Hajal’s parents’ house continued to be more lively than ever before.
It was still early for dinner, so we gathered on the terrace to enjoy refreshments, and his father suddenly asked a question.
“So, do you intend to marry our Hazal?”
“Dad! Myeong-sik is still my friend.”
“Where are the friends between men and women?”
“We met by chance while traveling and became close, so don’t bring up the topic of marriage.”
“Uh huh… Where do grown-up women meet men carelessly?”
“Myeongsik is not a thin Turkiye man, and he said that in the city we meet and break up lightly, right?”
Even though he is from a Muslim family, he cannot carelessly call himself a father to his eldest daughter, who has become independent in a large city like Istanbul.
“Kuhhmm… It sounds like boasting about being my daughter, but since she was little, she has been praised for being kind and a housekeeper.”
“I know it well, so that’s why I like it.”
“Heh heh, yes, do you intend to continue seeing each other?”
“If you allow me, I would like to meet you on the premise of marriage.”
“Oh… Okay! If you are a man, you should meet a woman with that level of responsibility.”
Aside from being a foreigner, if a man meeting his eldest daughter of marriageable age comes out like this, his parents would of course welcome it.
“Self… No, Mr. Myung-shik, what is that… ?”
“Didn’t you say you had to get permission from your parents?”
Hajal hesitated because he couldn’t remember if he had ever said such a story, but this time her mother stepped forward.
“You said your company is in America, what would you do if you got married?”
“Well, I haven’t thought about that yet.”
“How many babies…”
When she was allowed to date, she asked about her marriage and childbirth plan, and Hazal yelled out loud.
“Mom! Myung-sik, what if I ask you something like that?”
“Hey… Why is he so angry, can’t she ask that much as a mother?”
“It’s only been three weeks since we met, yet…”
She couldn’t bear to tell the truth about her relationship, so Hajal, who was about to lie, hesitated for a moment.
“When we officially date, I will discuss with Mr. Hazal and tell you her plans in the future.”
“As expected, you are Korean, so you are polite and trustworthy. You are allowed to date!”
“Thank you, Father!”
When they met, the two men shook her hand and even hugged her, and when she saw her sister and her brother leave her house to show her around, Hazal let out a deep sigh.
“Haaa… Why is Dad like that? .”
“How far did you go with Myungsik?”
“Mom, do you keep asking me weird things?”
“Did you sleep?”
“No!”
“You’ve become incredibly pretty, I thought you weren’t my daughter at first.”
“A little… Has it changed a lot?”
“That’s all a man’s strength, do you love me?”
It seems like everyone recognizes her because she might not be her mother. Hajal’s pretty face turned red with the happiness that filled her heart.
“Yeah, I love you. It gets better so quickly that it scares me.”
“Are you sure you did it?”
“Did I do something wrong… ?”
“What do you mean, family history?”
“It’s family power… ?”
“You know your mother is from the village across the street, right? She secretly dated my dad and married her because she got you pregnant.”
Hajal was surprised to hear her story for the first time.
“Dad and mom? Really?”
“Whoops, I still find it funny when I think of Dad kneeling down in front of your maternal grandfather and praying for his hands to become feet.”
“Pu-huh! Why are you telling me that story now?”
“I told this to my eldest daughter, who is moving to a big city like Istanbul, what if she comes back with a baby she doesn’t know?”
“You mean they left the troubles behind and wanted me to be quiet?”
“Thanks to you, you brought a wonderful man like Myung-sik, did you really meet by chance?”
“Can’t you believe it?”
“Are you a trustworthy man?”
It’s a worry that she can do because she is her mother, and there is still anxiety in a corner of her heart, so Hajal shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m a little worried because I’m spending too much.”
“Everything from the car to the presents is top-notch. Isn’t that typical scammer behavior?”
“No way…”
It was a fact that she searched and confirmed a few days ago that she was directly running a management company called H Planning in the United States, but she was very concerned that Han Myung-sik mentioned marriage.
“However…”
“Huh?”
“Is there a corner in my house where you can cheat?”
“What do you mean, Mom?”
“I don’t know if I can buy tires for the car I’m on over there even if I try this house or farm, but a Korean man like Myeong-shik is going to scam me for something to gain.”
At her mother’s point out, Hajal felt as if her chest, which had been feeling stuffy, was being pierced.
“That’s right…”
“And she’s not talking as a mother, but as a woman, I wish Myung-shik lived with a man like her for one day.”
“Pu-huh! Mom is really funny, ahahahaha!!”
All the women behind the action camera who had left it on the terrace knew why Hazal’s cool laugh burst out.
