Eunyul looked down at the pregnancy test blankly. Two obvious lines: After confirming that she was pregnant, Eun-yul raised her head and looked in the mirror. The young man’s face was reflected in an old mirror with a corner missing.
While his hair is very dark black, he has unusually light brown eyes with clearly visible irises. Her neat nose was not too high, but rather aristocratic and slender.
The corners of his mouth were raised and his lips formed a smooth line, giving him an overall handsome appearance.
If you look at it one by one, it’s a good face, but overall it’s pitiful.
Her hair is a mess, as if it had been torn out somewhere, and the corners of her eyes are puffy. One cheek was gaunt, but the other cheek was abnormally swollen. He had nothing to say about his lips. He was seriously swollen and covered in dead skin cells.
“therefore… … .”
Eunyul’s mouth opened as she looked at my face. I paused for a moment, feeling the stinging sensation of the corner of my mouth where I had been hit and the throbbing of my swollen cheeks.
“After getting robbed by the main character, I managed to run away for fear of being caught by another alpha, and ended up getting pregnant?”
And you were possessed at exactly that moment?
“no… … If you’re going to possess me, wouldn’t it be better if I gave it to you before I lose it all? “What kind of worst situation is this?”
When my parents passed away, the remaining wealth was lost to all sorts of evil acts, and all that was left was the 500 that I received as a beg from the protagonist.
The problem was the desire to oust another protagonist and take his place. To pay the price, he lost all his money and almost escaped being attacked by a gangster, so he hid in an old inn.
Meanwhile, I felt sick, so I took a pregnancy test, and damn, there were two lines.
“I didn’t want this… … .”
I have nothing more to lose.
“Grandma, this is a scam.”
They said it would get better.
Eunyul covered my face.
Before being possessed, Eunyul’s life was at rock bottom. Although he struggled day after day at the construction site, his situation did not improve. Since he was born an orphan with nothing, money has always been an issue whenever he tries to do something. Everything in the world required money.
One day, when I was living by pouring money into a bottomless pit, I met an old woman with strange abilities, and she made me a suggestion.
Instead of giving his body to his grandmother, he puts himself in another body. She said it was nonsense, but she said she must have been possessed. Since she lived a life without a future, it seemed like she wanted to have false hope for a little while.
The grandmother held out three books. She told me to read it because she would put it into this story. Curiosity got the best of me, so I sat down and read.
To be honest, it wasn’t a book I liked about a world where men can get pregnant, but there is no other book like it.
So I read it obediently and this is the result.
“Seongyul.”
I really entered the body of a character in the book.
“But why Seong Eun-yul?”
A villain who, after spending a night with Alpha Lord, acted like I was something and fell to the floor, and even got pregnant.
“The end of this villain is… … .”
I think he took his own life. That too … … .
“It’s now.”
I met a miserable end in a crumbling inn. Her grandmother kindly placed it in her body just before she died.
“What should I do now?”
It wasn’t much different from before I was possessed. What’s the difference between having 500 in hand and being pregnant?
I think I understand why this villain chose death. He grew up without any shortcomings, was popular, and lived his life as if it were his own world. But there was no way he was sane as he plummeted to the floor.
“But I’m not… … .”
Originally, it was a life where I had nothing. A life where I could barely survive each day with a lot of debt, let alone 500 in my pocket.
“Looking at it, it’s not the worst.”
It was despairing for the original owner of the body, but I don’t think it was that bad.
“I have no debt, I have money… … .”
Eunyul touched her stomach.
“I also have a family.”
I don’t know how difficult and painful it will be in the future, but since I have entered the body of this villain, I have decided to twist my fate.
Let’s survive somehow.
* * *
Kang Ha-jun looked around the old restaurant in silence.
Yellow wallpaper, an old-fashioned signboard and only one menu, and a water purifier that is so old that you might think it has been discontinued. Half of the place was like a closet, so there was a table where you could sit after taking off your shoes, and the other half was a dining table. The occasionally occupied seats were occupied by elderly people, who were enjoying refreshments as if they were at a pavilion rather than eating.
The hard, narrow chair had difficulty supporting his weight and was making unpleasant sounds, so he had to restrain his movements.
“This place may look old, but the food is good.”
Coming to a run-down restaurant that wasn’t even a proper Korean restaurant, Kang Ha-jun had to keep his expression on the verge of collapsing several times. She wasn’t there to eat anyway. He was there to have an important conversation with a member of the National Assembly, so there was no need for him to complain about something useless.
“It looks friendly.”
After giving an appropriate answer, Kang Ha-jun placed the dishes in front of Han Cheol-seung and me.
“Iknow, right. I also discovered this place by chance and it is a hidden restaurant. “And what a caring child there is, he just happened to be over there.”
“uh? “Are you here?”
Han Cheol-seung was bragging as if he was the owner of this store, then he spotted someone and raised his hand. Kang Ha-jun was about to turn around when he heard a lively voice coming from behind him. He was more concerned about hearing the unpleasant sound from the chair than seeing the young man’s face.
“Where are you going?”
“Running an errand for my grandmother. “I heard she’s out of onions, so she’s on her way to the market over there.”
He seemed to be a young man with a quite bright personality who could change the atmosphere of the store in an instant. Rep. Han Cheol-seung, as well as all the older people present, were talking to the young man.
“No, if you’re in a hurry, you can buy it at a nearby store. What do you do if the price of a sheep pot is 500 won cheaper? “It costs more to go to the market by bus.”
A young man who passed Kang Ha-jun put down the onion net he was carrying in his arms and patted his waist. Still, judging by his grumbling complaints, he seemed to be the store owner’s grandson.
“You son of a bitch. “Why did you take the bus when you should have walked?”
The store owner who was in the kitchen came out and patted the young man on the back mercilessly. Despite the old woman’s threshing, which seemed to be half of the young man’s presence, the young man only bent his back and did not avoid it. All the old people watching were laughing, as if getting hit like that was their daily routine. Even Han Cheol-seung sitting across from me.
“No, how can I walk while carrying that heavy thing? And honestly, the reason I don’t go to the store next door isn’t because it’s 500 won more expensive. “Do you not know that my money was stolen yesterday through Go-Stop?”
“Inomu Shikiga.”
“Ouch ouch! “It hurts, grandma.”
As the assault became more intense, the young man turned as if trying to run away. At the same time, the young man’s face was revealed. It was a fairly decent face. The longer he looked at the young man’s face, the narrower Kang Ha-jun’s eyebrows became.
‘It’s a face I feel like I’ve seen before.’
It definitely looked familiar. However, since no one immediately came to mind, Kang Ha-jun took a closer look at the young man in an attempt to figure out who he was.
“Grandma, stop hitting me. You see it all. I’m not the kind of kid who deserves to be beaten like this. I’m an adult. yes? Adult.”
“The adult fell asleep, saying something like a dog eating grass. Do you know that Shiki, who doesn’t even have dried blood on his head, is very sweet?”
“This is the problem with real grandmothers. “You don’t treat someone 50 years younger than you as an adult?”
“what?”
The young man straightened his back as if to stop hitting him. While the grandmother, Im Bong-soon, flinched at the momentum, the young man, Eun-yul, screamed.
“I am young here, but I am an adult outside. That’s it? A very cute and soft child… … .”
The eyes of Eun-yul and Kang Ha-jun, who were clenching their small fists to express what they wanted to express, met.
“… … .”
“… … .”
They looked at each other searchingly, and the first to react was Eunyul.
‘It’s Kang Ha-jun!’
Eunyul’s mouth opened wide in silent shock. Looking again, it wasn’t anyone else. I learned about Kang Ha-jun’s face again and again by looking through broadcasts he appeared on, magazines with his face in them, and even scrap articles.
If I ever encounter one, I have to run away… … So, not only did I look for his face to recognize him right away, but there was even a child who looked exactly like Kang Ha-jun, so there was no way I could be mistaken.
He was the main character of this novel and the child’s father.
‘Why are you here?’
This was the kind of restaurant that Kang Ha-jun would never come to, and he had lived well without encountering it until now. Eun-yul, who was taken aback by the sudden reunion, noticed something in the eyes of Kang Ha-jun, who was still just looking at her own face.
‘You don’t recognize me?’
He was frowning, but it didn’t seem like he knew who I was. Eun-yul suddenly stopped talking and turned around.
“… … It’s me. yes. I’m really cute, right? “Isn’t that right, Grandpa?”
Eunyul, who was clapping her hands and talking slyly to her favorite grandfather, entered the kitchen pretending to avoid Lim Bongsoon. Actually, to avoid Kang Ha-jun.
“You think you won’t be able to catch me if I sneak away? “I’ll bring the hangover soup soon, so just wait.”
As Lim Bong-sun belatedly spoke to Han Cheol-seung and followed Eun-yul, the commotion soon subsided and the quiet atmosphere returned to before. Except for one person, Kang Ha-jun.
I’m sure I’ve seen this face before, but it didn’t come to mind easily.
“It was noisy, right? “It happens occasionally, so you can ignore it.”
Han Cheol-seung spoke to Kang Ha-jun, who was deep in thought. Only then did Kang Ha-jun cut off his thoughts and looked at Han Cheol-seung. When I remembered that the reason I came here was because of Han Cheol-seung, the memory became blurry, like fog covering the face of the young man I had just met.
* * *
Eunyul, who was hiding herself by leaning against the wall, was unable to suppress her breathing as hard as her rapidly beating heart. I wondered several times who I had just met, but no matter how much I thought about it, the answer was Kang Ha-jun.
Eun-yul, who was pounding her chest because she was clearly breathing but her frustration did not go away, sat down on the spot. When I hit his chest, I felt the pain in his solar plexus.
‘Why did Kang Ha-jun come here?’
Eunyul shook her head and lowered her head.
‘Let’s calm down. He was definitely with someone. So it seems like I was forced to come here, but there’s no way I’m coming here twice.’
Even though I kept telling myself that it was not true, my anxious feeling did not subside.
“Have you already become dented by the difficulty of bringing only an onion to the subject?”
Eunyul raised her head in a daze at the sound of Lim Bong-sun clicking her tongue as she followed him.
“grandma.”
“What are those blurry eyes?”
“How am I now compared to when I first saw you?”
“What do you think?” “At first it looked like paper, and now it looks like paper with good stains.”
“So it still feels the same… … Still, have I changed from then?”
“This guy is saying some nonsense.”
Lim Bong-soon began to raise his voice, perhaps as he became reluctant to match Eun-yul’s mood.
“No, I mean… … “When you look at me now, do you think of me back then?”
“That’s natural. “Have the beads in your eyes changed or your lips turned upside down?”
Lim Bong-soon turned away, scolding me for hearing all the stupid questions. Eunyul lowered her head while looking at the back of Lim Bong-soon, who was diligently playing with her hands while lighting a fire with her torch. There was nothing to be sad about her grandmother’s beatings. My question was stupid to begin with.
“But you won’t recognize it right away.”
“… … grandma?”
