“I wasn’t there to see you in the first place!”
“And you didn’t even hold back your anger.”
That was the reason Eunyul came forward. Kang Ha-jun was scarred by what his mother did to Kang Yi-heum. However, he doesn’t hesitate to drag himself in and hurt Kang Ha-jun again.
“So I came to see you. If you have anything to say in the future, please contact me. “I’ll come here.”
“How shameless… … .”
“Is it just for the congressman?”
Eunyul accepted his words without any hesitation and acted like a person who was determined to inflame Kang Yi-heum’s anger from beginning to end.
“Thank you for your continued support.”
I will never avoid it. Rather, Eunyul looked back at Kang Iheum and his family, prepared to hit one side until it broke.
“You declare war and do it right.”
Park Jeong-hoon’s mutterings only reached Hyeon Je-ha.
They asked them to come with them, and all they asked was to be allowed to go inside and to tell them that Haneul looked like Kang Ha-jun. If she had called him a friend, she would have pampered him even more, but in reality, Eunyul was handling the important Kang Yiheum alone.
It was so foolish, but it looked cool.
* * *
When I came out from meeting Kang Iheum, there were a lot of missed calls. At first glance, it must be Kang Ha-jun.
When I called, I was embarrassed because he acted like he was going to come here right away, but Park Jeong-hoon told me about the 12-month Korean traditional meal.
And when she arrived, Eunyul encountered an unexpected sight.
People were using the space comfortably, bringing drinks and having conversations or just sitting down to relax for no reason.
I was watching from afar, not knowing why things had changed like this, when Namgoong Hyuk put an arm around my shoulder.
“So, I guess I didn’t tell you.”
Eunyul responded by pushing his hand away from her shoulder.
“What is it?”
“We won’t be selling food here for a while.”
“But leave the door open?”
“yes.”
Eunyul looked inside again at Namgoonghyuk’s enthusiastic response. Unlike when he came last time, it was nice to see the place filled with people.
“Well, it’s better than leaving the restaurant empty.”
Couples were seen taking pictures of each other, and friends were also seen taking group shots.
Eunyul was looking at that and fiddling with her cell phone. I haven’t taken any pictures of Kang Ha-jun and Haneul together yet… … .
“There is a lot to do.”
The amusement park was just the beginning. There were so many things I wanted to do with Kang Ha-jun in the future.
I wanted to go to a kids cafe, I wanted to go to an aquarium, and… … .
“What do you want to do?”
Eunyul turned her head at the warmth touching her back and smiled as soon as she saw familiar lips.
“I want to go on a trip.”
“okay. let’s go.”
It was a voice as if he would give it to me even if I asked him to pick a star from the sky instead of a trip.
Eunyul took a pleasant breath at the soft voice. As I smelled the pheromones surrounding his body, the muscles in his stomach tightened.
“Did you have a good time?”
The question was about meeting Kang Iheum.
The most I could do was introduce Haneul and make it clear that I would never avoid him… … .
“yes.”
it was good.
“I’m not very strong, but I’m trying to deal with it in a way that only I can.”
“What are you leaning on me for?”
At Kang Ha-jun’s question, Eun-yul’s head touched his shoulder.
“It’s enough for me to stand strong like this.”
Feeling Eun-yul’s sincerity, Kang Ha-jun wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
“okay. “I will be there so you can lean on me at any time.”
“great. With that in mind, take a look at the screen here.”
Eunyul stretched out her arms and took a picture of Kang Ha-jun and herself on her cell phone. The moment Kang Ha-jun raised his eyes and looked at the screen, Eun-yul’s finger moved.
The screen paused for a moment and then moved, showing the two of them in the album.

“It won’t work.”
Lim Bong-soon, who had been pacing in place, stood up as if she had made up her mind.
“why.”
Lim Bong-soon couldn’t control her excitement when asked by Han Cheol-seung, who visited her on the weekend and heard her story.
“You’re the only one wandering around like crazy, so how can you just watch?”
“haha.”
“So, Gashu. “I can’t prepare any more for business today, so I’m going to lock the restaurant door.”
Lim Bong-soon took off the apron wrapped around her waist. She, who was trimming her hair for tomorrow’s business, tapped Han Cheol-seung on the shoulder and gestured for him to leave.
“What are you going to do?”
Instead of leaving, Han Cheol-seung spoke to Lim Bong-soon to hear her thoughts.
“We need to provide them with solid equipment so they can’t be ignored. Make a name for yourself as a successful restaurant owner! Dress neatly!”
“It’s not a bad method. But it’s not enough.”
Han Cheol-seung shook his head.
If you think about the person Lim Bong-soon will be dealing with now, that is really only the basics.
“If you’re going to sit still and pour cold water on me, hurry up.”
“Don’t do that, come with me.”
Han Cheol-seung stood up and placed the cup of water I drank on the shelf connected to the kitchen.
“I also had something to find out. and… … .”
Han Cheol-seung stood next to Lim Bong-soon.
“Aren’t you going to contact everyone besides me?”
He knew the greatest power Lim Bong-sun had. Having been doing business in one place for a long time, she has developed a very deep connection with the people who have visited her store, despite the small space.
There were some who stopped coming now and there were others who went to the underworld, but that did not mean that the connection was lost.
Those who do not visit are contacted, and those who enter the underworld are in contact with their descendants.
“Tsk.”
Lim Bong-soon clicked his tongue because it seemed like he was showing off his roots.
“Don’t look at me like, ‘How did you know?’ I saw it all when I introduced Eunyul to a lawyer. Is that all? “I am a regular here, so I know everyone who comes and goes.”
“I came to eat and only saw useless things.”
On the outside, he only had a good-natured smile, but on the inside, he was like a snake. Is that why she so diligently climbed over the door of her restaurant? Lim Bong-soon, who was scolding, picked up her notebook that she had hidden under the counter.
“Why don’t you say more?”
“What’s the point of looking into it further?”
Lim Bong-soon stroked an old notebook with stains from her hands.
“Taking care of my baby comes first. “I will show you the power of kites that I have accumulated over 50 years.”
“I feel reassured.”
Han Cheol-seung smiled as if he was about to see something interesting.

Eunyul spent some alone time with Haneul for the first time in a long time. I was thinking about what to do, and what I ultimately decided on was a board game where you roll a dice and move the number of squares according to the number you rolled.
“6! 6 came out. One, two, three… … .”
Sky pointed at his snail and moved it one space at a time. Then, the snail glided along the arrow connected to the sixth position.
“wow. It went up. Dad, I made it to 33!”
“already? awesome.”
When Eunyul clapped, Haneul also clapped and loved it.
“As expected, I’m lucky.”
Eunyul impulsively hugged the child because she thought it was so cute that Haneul was pointing at her with his thumb and talking with his chest out.
“Why are you so cute?”
“dad! “It’s dad’s turn, but you can’t do it if you keep holding me.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Eunyul, who had no regrets about the outcome of the game, let Haneul go with a sad look on her face. I guess after this board game is over, I’ll have to hug Haneul and roll around.
“When we’re done with this, let’s play another game.”
Without even reading my mind, the sky took away my chance to lie down in bed. Eunyul made a disgruntled noise and rolled the dice.
“Dad got a 5.”
I spoke kindly to Haneul and picked up the snail. Originally, it was one space ahead of Haneul, but after moving five spaces, I saw that it would go up to 33, following the same arrow.
And this board game had a rule that required catching snails in the same space and sending them to the starting point.
“One Two Three Four Five… … .”
Eunyul slowly moved the snail to think about what to do and placed hers next to Haneul’s snail.
