Chapter 56 – [Side Story] Story of a Demon – Even if There Is No Blood Connection

*

The next day.

On the way home after school.

Neither my daughters nor my son can play at home every day. Because I have friendships, there are times when I get sidetracked. Today, while eating snacks and thinking about going to karaoke with my friends, when I came out of the school gate, there were several large cars parked. Moreover, the people in front of them are big men.

“Hey, hey, what are those guys?”

“He’s coming this way all of a sudden?!”

Eunjeong, Kim Min and Eunah’s child, glared at her friends while calming them down.

“Miss.”

“I came to pick you up.”

“… Did dad order it?”

“Yes, there is something worth doing.”

“I have plans with my friends today… “

I looked back. There were girls who were confused and asked if they were filming a movie. Eunjeong saw this guy so often that it felt like she was seeing the guy next door to her. There was no way that children who grew up in ordinary families would take kindly to those people.

“If you tell me where you want to play, I will park my car nearby.”

“It won’t go far. “I’m going to go to a karaoke bar on the street below the school.”

“Shall I give you a ride downstairs?”

“Then thank you~!”

Eun-jeong consoled her friends by saying that she works at this company. When people asked what company your family worked for, they gave me a fake business card they had made in advance and gave me a vague answer.

“Uh… ?”

On the other hand, there was her older brother who watched her younger siblings disappear in familiar-looking cars. He was wondering why his father was acting so loud. Due to his father’s personality, he would not have touched the school.

“What’s going on…?” “

Kang Masan didn’t go back because she still had work to do at school. She had to talk to her teacher about her career path. The men her father sent did not return, so she waited around.

It didn’t take long for her to start talking. Is it because there was a rumor that Kim Min came to school the other day? She knew that Masani’s family was big, so she skipped over the discussion about her future. She had no choice but to ask because she had to ask in principle.

Masani picked up her shoes and ran down her hallway. Although her career counseling was only half-hearted, it helped her get back to work quickly. Since her father had worked so far, she thought that something must have happened, so she decided to return home quickly today.

“Huh?”

“Oh my.”

But she told me to go back the busier I got. She ran down the hallway and bumped into someone around the corner.

“Uh, sorry.”

“Student, are you hurt?”

“Yes.”

Luckily she didn’t hit hard. Her body was pushed back slightly. The man in the suit looked down at Kang Masan, blinking his dark circles. It was the other person who was at fault, but he looked like he was more at fault.

“I’m sorry for bumping into you, but can I ask you something?”

“Yes?”

“It’s my first time visiting this school. “Can you tell me where the teacher’s office is?”

He says he came to meet the child, and he got lost. As a private arts high school, the school was large as the site was large. She said that she had bumped into Kang Masan, so she decided to follow him herself. There is no way that a kidnapper would appear in the school. Since she didn’t seem like a bad person, she decided that it was okay to do that.

“Oh my, you don’t have to follow me… “

“No, I’m not busy.”

He praised him, saying he was a polite young man who did not fit the times. Actually, Masani was running carelessly and was embarrassed that she bumped into someone. The man really liked Masan even though they had only known each other for less than ten minutes. He praised and thanked me several times and walked with me to the teacher’s office.

“… Uh? “Didn’t you go home?”

When I took him to the teacher’s office, Masan was greeted by his homeroom teacher who had just conducted career research.

“The customer was looking for the teacher’s office.”

“Ah, you brought a parent.”

“Hello.”

There was no time to introduce ourselves to each other. As soon as he finished saying hello, he got straight to the point.

“I came to look for my son, who is in second grade.”

“Your son?”

“Yes, I am Kang Masan, who is currently attending this school… “

“… Masan?”

“Yes, yes, I am Masan’s biological father. Because of her circumstances, I wanted to see her face… “

“… Real dad?”

The homeroom teacher looking at Masani standing next to him.

At that moment, the air froze.

*

Kim Min was cooking. Sometimes he thought it wouldn’t be so bad to cook his own food, so he stood in the kitchen. Today he sent his men to greet the children. He thought it wouldn’t be too late for them, so he tried to give them a taste of the food he had prepared.

In fact, his wives were in doubt whether he could cook. Eun-ah and Song-mi, who stayed together the longest, also wondered what was going on. She even made a pledge not to burn down the kitchen. Actually, Kim Min didn’t think he would hear such a thing over something as simple as boiled pork. He was silently looking at the meat with a slightly proud expression.

“… Huh?”

It was then.

While I was cooking in a daze, I received a phone call. I was a little nervous because it was for work, not everyday use, but I quickly calmed down. This is because it was a call made by the guy in charge of my son among the subordinates sent to the children today.

I wondered if something was going on. Today, Nara Lim couldn’t go to greet Masani because of her personal business. In the end, she had no choice but to stick to her subordinates, but she wasn’t the type of kid that would cause much trouble. Since she was a child who knew how to defend herself, it didn’t seem like she would be easily taken by someone.

“Hello.”

“Older brother. It is a resource.”

I was imagining the worst, but the man’s voice on the other end of the phone was calm. It was a calm voice as usual, as if nothing had happened.

“Okay, what’s going on?”

“That guy caught Masani.”

“Who.”

“The bastard who sent me a photo.”

He said something difficult to understand in a calm voice. Kim Min put down the meat he was holding with his tongs, turned off the fire, and calmed his mind.

“Speak in an easy-to-understand manner. “Why is that bastard attached to my son?”

“The guy in the picture contacted Masani. Now we are out on the street and talking at coffee shops together.”

“Are you a journalist?”

“No, this is really hard to tell… 」

While the subordinate is saying something over the phone. At the entrance to the kitchen, Hong nudged her face. As the person who has been in charge of the kitchen up until now, she came to help, checking to see if there was a fire, whether the cooking was going well, and if there was anything in trouble. I don’t know why she was doing it, but her husband was on the phone instead of cooking.

“Honey~? “Is the cooking going well?”

Since Kang Lee-rim had it all last night, he stopped by her husband and said that he would taste it today. But Kim Min held the phone and didn’t move. Eun-ah buried her face in his stomach, and she only slightly raised her head to look at his face.

“… Huh?”

At that moment, cold sweat broke out on my back. The bulging blood vessels on his face were pulsing as if they were about to burst at any moment. I was so angry that my eyes were on the verge of rolling back. He was glaring at Euna with his eyes downcast.

“Hey, honey… Oh… ?”

“… “Shut up.”

“Yes, sorry.”

I hastily removed the face that was attached to her stomach and quickly sat down. One of the original characteristics of this family was that when the husband was angry, all the wives would bow down like sex slaves. An instinct that cannot be resisted because it has already been trained for decades. Of course, sitting upright wasn’t enough, so I had to take off my clothes on the spot, fold them neatly, and wait for the next command.

“… Ha.”

“Hi… “

I let out a long sigh that easily lasted more than 5 seconds. With his face frozen and his muscles all red and red, he was terrifying. Eun-ah hurriedly lowered her head as she looked like she was going to hit someone at any moment. It felt like she was going to be beaten to death if she met her eyes here.

“Chueup… Tsu… Tsuuuuup… “

Eun-ah placed her lips on her toes and began to move in an attempt to ease her husband’s mind even a little. She was also seen shaking her butt desperately and fawning. Normally, when she shows her cuteness this much, she lets out her anger unless she’s done something really serious.

“Tsuuuuu… Chu… ?”

I looked up at her as I sucked her toes with my lips. She said that normally she would have done something like this, and she would have gotten better quickly. She had some hope, but…

“I am going there. “Wait.”

“I understand.”

… Unfortunately.

The bulging Great General of the World was not hiding his anger.

*

Masani was embarrassed.

For that child, there was only one father: her father. Although he is a person who acts a bit outside common sense. Still, he wasn’t a bad person to the point where he showed these flaws. Now she didn’t know how to react when he got in her face and said he was her real father.

“… “

“… Gulp.”

She shoved the java chips she ordered from the coffee shop down her throat. A sweet taste stirred through her brain. Perhaps it was her father, Kim Min’s fault, but she felt that she was becoming more and more childish, and she looked ahead. The man probably didn’t like coffee that much, so he only ordered a piece of cake and was smiling awkwardly.

“Well, what was your name?”

“Ahn Jang-won, you can speak comfortably. It’s between parents and children.”

He said his name and then looked intently at his horse. No matter what you do, the atmosphere becomes awkward.

“I don’t know why Mr. Jangwon suddenly came to see me.”

“About me… Did Lee Rim ever say anything…? ?”

“I once asked her about her biological father. Both my father and mother vaguely explained it. “It’s not a very good story, so you don’t have to listen to it.”

“Okay… “

I twitched my eyebrows at the father part. My son is in front of me, and he is calling another man his father, so it must be a strange feeling. Masan was aware of that too, but he had no intention of claiming that the person who appeared now was his real father.

In the first place…

It’s also a lie that those two people glossed over the story of their biological father…

“Why did you abandon your mother?”

“I never threw it away. “I just left for a moment due to circumstances.”

“It’s up?”

“I went to look for a house. We also had money that we saved from each other. Since Lee Rim had just become pregnant, she was preparing in secret because she wanted to find a newlywed home.”

“Yes?”

“Really. But when I came back, Lee Rim was gone.”

She said things that didn’t make sense right from the start. Masani cursed inwardly, but his face was extremely shameless. He pretended to remember as if he were telling something that actually happened. He had no hesitation in saying that he thought it made sense.

“I wondered what a pregnant woman was doing, so I searched hard for her. She wondered if she had been kidnapped. She found it after some searching, but it wasn’t what I thought it would be. “She abandoned me and went for another man.”

“Does that mean you are my father now?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Does he want to appeal that he is a good person? He explained that he was not angry even though he experienced something like that. Masani’s insides were burning, but her face didn’t seem to notice that.

“Are you saying you’re going to take revenge now?”

“Revenge, I just saw it by chance.”

“What?”

“The way your father cheated.”

“… ?”

At that moment, my burning stomach subsided. It was because I wondered what it meant to say that my father was having an affair. In the first place, I can’t even count how many women there are around me. In addition to her seven wives, she had also seen her father sucking his cock.

“Ahaa… “

Masani thought for a moment and then figured it out. This man in front of her right now doesn’t know anything about his family. So she decided that she could say such foolish things with confidence.

“Do you have any doubts?”

“Because my father likes women.”

“Yes, the habit of stealing other people’s women. “It’s not fixed even after marriage.”

Jangwon gritted her teeth, saying she had gathered among herself. Masan was burning inside her just a moment ago, but she couldn’t erase her smile as she looked at that face. She lowered her head for a moment and then let out a deep breath as she composed her expression.

“Well… “

Did this person come to me to tell me this?

Both mother and father are having a hard time.

She was a more unpleasant person than I heard…

She was so shocked that she couldn’t speak, but she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. It’s a stupid situation to say that you burst out laughing even when you’re angry. It was because I was curious about whether this person really came this far because of something like this.

“What do you want to do by telling me that?”

“I want to meet Lee Rim through you. Even though that happened, I still like Lee Rim. I want to get back together after this incident.”

“Your husband is not a proper person, so leave him. That’s what you want to say.”

“Yes, I feel sorry for you. “I couldn’t watch it anymore.”

The corner of Masani’s mouth twitched. She said in a tone that she had been watching for a long time. If she had watched long enough, she would have realized how many women there were in this family.
She didn’t even know what she was talking about.

“Is it really your intention to want to live with her mother?”

“Of course. How nice it would be to live happily together with my son and wife, who are related by blood. Something like that happened in the past, but if it comes back… “

“What are you doing now?”

“… “Now?”

“Yes.”

He looked a little surprised because he boldly changed the story. However, she soon seemed to understand and took out a business card. She proudly said that she had a decent job and could support two people.

“I found a nice place to live, so all you have to do is come.”

“I think I need more time to think about it.”

“I do not have time. “You have to drop it quickly.”

How should I accept this? Even if the lie goes well, it shouldn’t come out like this. I found it absurd that he was showing his will to destroy someone else’s family at any cost. He was a person who was difficult to understand, at least according to Masani’s common sense.

“Don’t say that. Because this is how we met. “Please tell me more about what kind of person you are.”

“Oh, I did. Since we met for the first time today… “

She apologized and spoke as if making up what had happened. Masani listened to her story with the idea that she would keep at least the cost of the Java chip she bought. By holding back her boiling ridicule and anger, she bought time until Kim Min came.

*

Kim Min was in the car heading to the coffee shop. Although he was driving the car, the speed at which the car was running was as fast as his heart. He thought that if he didn’t go even one second faster, he might be beaten to death, so he stepped on it as hard as he could. His face is so angry that it makes you wonder if the Hulk has appeared in Korea. As he was sitting in the passenger seat, he felt quite intimidated. Kang I-rim, who was sitting in the back seat, also had a look of displeasure on his face.

It didn’t matter if they contacted me. But I contacted his son. What will he talk about when he meets alone with the child he created and abandoned? He was very worried that he might hurt the child’s feelings.

“Brother, we have arrived!”

“… Are you coming?”

It only takes a few seconds from getting out of the car to entering the coffee shop. He went inside as she thought about what to do with the man. I was angry, but I couldn’t punch in front of everyone, so I suppressed my anger to some extent.

“Honey… Over there… “

After suppressing the desire to kill him several times, I looked at the place where Kang I-rim had struck. There were those two people in a corner of the coffee shop. In the seat right behind him, the subordinate sent to protect his son was bowing his head. His son, Masani, was talking to the man and then turned his eyes and exchanged a look with his father.

“That bastard… With what kind of face are you crawling here and saying this shit… “

I moved my legs slowly. I muttered my footsteps so as not to make a loud noise and went to the place where my son and the man were. I felt like my fist was going to fly, so I held on to Kang I-rim’s hand tightly. She also held Kim Min’s arm tightly and controlled her heart.

“Hey, Uncle Jangwon.”

“Uh, why? … Toilet shop?”

When the man’s voice got close enough to reach Min Kim and Irim Kang. His son, Masani, slowly stood up from his spot. He clenched his teeth as he looked down at the manor. The two had a strong feeling that their child would do something. Masani took action as if telling the two people to watch.

“This bastard is worse than this beast!!!!”

“What?!”

His fierce face and raised fist were impressive. In a split second, the swung fist pierced Jang Won’s chin. Before anyone could even scream, their face fell to the ground in the coffee shop.

“… ?”

After Jang Won was hit and fell down, he first thought about why he was hit. He even suspected that his son had a tic disorder. He felt the heat rising above his head cool down as he saw the two people’s faces as they fell.

“Holy shit… “

Kim Min said he was near the entrance, but I had no choice but to run. He moved his feet even as he felt his head shaking. Even though the startled people were screaming, they ran outside regardless. I don’t know why, but Kim Min and Kang I-rim didn’t catch him, so he was able to run out of the coffee shop without much difficulty.

“Why didn’t you catch it?”

“Well… “

I was very angry just now, but now I made a blank face, saying I didn’t feel anything.

“It feels strange.”

“Yes.”

Kim Min relieves his anger by saying that he enjoyed watching something interesting. Kang I-rim must have felt refreshed, so he turned his back and said he would solve the rest of his worries later. The store became a mess, but no one reported it. It ended relatively quietly, except for people whispering about the person who hit him running away after he was hit.

*

My subordinate, Yoo Jae-won, was in a very good mood.

Together with his classmates, he pounded the ground with the bat in his hand. When someone hums the latest popular music. Someone else burst out laughing and added a chorus to it. I thought I had become an adult by doing this, but that wasn’t the case at all. Even as men got older, they were always children.

“There’s really nothing wrong with the world, right? I thought I had lived a dramatic life in my own way. When I opened the lid, my life was worse than that of a mosquito flying on the side of the road.”

A quiet rural setting, a collapsed building. A place littered with drums or piles of trash. Kim Min’s subordinates were chatting happily in such a place. What I’m wearing is a well-tailored suit, but it’s not something I would wear in a place like this.

“You fucking bastards… “

What was inside the drum was Manor. It was such a natural thing that I didn’t even feel it was anti-climatic or anything. His face and body were very swollen from how much he had been beaten before he was brought here.

“I was caught so easily that I lost my nerve.”

“I didn’t know that I would go back to Gositel right away.”

“That’s right, I knew clearly that I was being chased.”

The subordinates laughed with sagging faces. The tone of voice was that something like this wouldn’t happen very often and that he would be honored.

“I squandered the money my sister earned, drank drugs in the Philippines, and finally returned to Korea to show my face here.”

“You are quite foolish too. “My brother is so disgusting that I can’t kill him myself.”

“You bastards!!!”

“I know we are forbidden. Hearing from you makes me feel… “

“You and us are similar bastards. “I’m not a bastard like you who abandons his own child.”

“Why would you make such a request to a child you met for the first time after being apart for over ten years?” They may say something, but they are people who don’t understand common sense. He looked down at the manor with a tone of slight sympathy.

“Hey, even though my friend here is shaking like hell, he’s the head of a family with three kids, right?”

“When I kill someone, I drink out of guilt, but I don’t think that will happen today.”

“Is that what you’re saying? What the fuck… “

“Stop talking and go to bed now.”

“You must be very tired if you came all the way from the Philippines.”

“It was nice meeting you, let’s never see each other again.”

“Fuck… Bird… “

I thought it would drag on a bit longer, but it went away smoothly. Neither Kim Min nor Kang I-rim had any intention of touching it directly. She didn’t even think to ask why she was here. This is the result of loss of interest beyond resentment. She was clearly angry, but it all went away when her son hit her.

“… “I was bored.”

A man running wild inside a drum.

Kim Min’s subordinates started talking about having drinks at today’s meeting.

His life came to an end simply.
