Namgoonghyuk watched as Eunyul’s expression became more and more complex, as if he knew it would happen.
“You too must be embarrassed by this suggestion. Of course, I’m not the person who will take good care of you. But I ate 20 million won worth of fried eggs, so I especially like you… … evil!”
Namgoonghyuk grabbed the back of my head and looked back. There was an old man holding a ladle and a familiar old man.
“How dare you take away my successor right in front of me with my eyes wide open?”
“Please calm down.”
The old man holding the ladle was grinning, and the familiar old man was empty.
“Does it look real? Today, this child with no morals… … .”
“That young man’s father is a big man who works in the shadows.”
Namgoong-hyuk, who was so embarrassed that he was only rubbing the back of his head, belatedly realized the identity of the familiar old man. It was Rep. Han Cheol-seung.
“… … “Why is that old man here?”
Namgoonghyuk asked Eunyul, but there was no answer. Eun-yul quietly took a seat between Rep. Han Cheol-seung and grandmother Lim Bong-soon and burst into tears.
“I was really scared.”
“and… … .”
Who was it that just a moment ago called me like a dog and trash? Namgung-hyuk was in tears, but he couldn’t do anything because it was in front of Rep. Han Cheol-seung.
* * *
Eunyul whistled and cut the vegetables. Representative Han Cheol-seung always comes during this period. During election season, he comes more often. When people ask me why I come here when I should go somewhere else, I say that I’m currently campaigning for an election or something, but anyway, I come here often these days. However, he told Kang Ha-jun that he would not come.
And Namgoonghyuk’s scout rejected him outright. She hated working for an unpleasant person.
After giving Kang Ha-jun and Namgoong-hyuk a blow, I couldn’t have felt better.
“Don’t come now.”
After talking to herself so that the two could not hear, Eun-yul put the chopped vegetables in a basket, left them to drain, and shouted at Lim Bong-sun.
“The sky will bring you.”
I couldn’t hear anything inside, but I knew that Heaven wouldn’t find Hawon’s time. It’s just about time for the lunch business to end, so it won’t be too busy. Then I will play with old man Cheolseung Han.
“Oh, I should have asked why you called me last time.”
When I thought about it, I couldn’t hear why Han Cheol-seung called me to the garden. He was busy and forgot, but he thought he could ask after bringing Haneul.
Eunyul walked lightly and stood where the kindergarten car came.
Soon, a yellow car appeared and Haneul came down. Haneul, who was happy to see her, turned to the teacher and said, “Thank you.” After exchanging greetings, such as back signals, he came running.
“dad.”
Eunyul, who seemed familiar, hugged Haneul and rubbed his small cheek.
“Did you have a good time?”
“Yes, ah! “Wear winter uniform for a long time.”
“Winter gym uniform? Well, the weather got cold quickly.”
It’s quite chilly in the morning and at night, so I prepare a coat.
Eunyul turned around, thinking about taking out her fall and winter clothes that she had stored in a separate box, but stopped because of someone blocking her path.
It was closer than I thought.
Eunyul hugged Haneul well and was planning to move to the side, but stopped when she smelled a scent.
The pheromones of this world that we just thought of as perfume.
Someone’s scent that I’ve smelled several times these days.
As soon as Eunyul raised her motionless head and checked the other person, she froze.
Kang Ha-jun was standing, and he faced Haneul squarely.
Eunyul clenched her fists to resist the strong urge to cover Haneul’s face. He had a face that looked exactly like Kang Ha-jun, so it was obvious that he would recognize him right away.
“Dad, who are you?”
As Kang Ha-jun and Eun-yul were quietly looking at each other, Haneul, who was caught in the middle, asked. Who is it… … The sky is your alpha dad.
“Suni’s guest.”
Eun-yul forced her gaze away from Kang Ha-jun and answered Haneul’s question. The corners of her mouth twitched and the corners of her eyes fluttered as she forced a smile, but she did not change her expression.
“But why are you standing there?”
“I’m close with my dad. “We were close, so we met in the morning.”
Yes, the person I thought was gone since I met him in the morning has reappeared. By all means, the sky is in the House of Representatives time… … .
Eun-yul bit her lip and looked at Kang Ha-jun’s expression. There was no agitation in Kang Ha-jun’s eyes as he looked at Haneul, and all he did was smile out of politeness. It was not the look in anyone’s eyes that recognized Haneul as his child.
‘Well, I didn’t recognize it either, but I recognized it as the sky. Plus, I’m not even married.’
Unless you gave birth or raised a child, there were many people who had a harder time recognizing whose child was whose child than you might think. I never thought that Kang Ha-jun’s not getting married would be so helpful in times like this.
Eun-yul passed by Kang Ha-jun with a much lighter heart.
“huh? “Aren’t you going with that guy?”
“If you’re going to eat, you’ll come to the restaurant.”
Eun-yul told Ha-neul that she didn’t have to worry about him any more, but she also told Kang Ha-jun to listen. And if Kang Ha-jun goes straight to the restaurant, Eun-yul will go home. Her grandmother would understand if she called and told her what was going on.
“I came after eating.”
Eunyul only frowned at what Kang Ha-jun said next to her, but did not react further.
“There weren’t many people and it looked like the lunch business was over.”
I see you ate at Suni’s. When did you eat it? I couldn’t see the hall because I was coming out of the kitchen.
“The sky?”
“uh? “Do you know my name?”
Haneul was surprised as he pointed at himself, and Eunyul bit down hard on the flesh inside his mouth.
〈Heaven will bring you.〉
Kang Ha-jun heard me shouting for my grandmother to listen.
“Mr. Sky is close to my dad. Can we sit over there for a moment?”
Hearing Kang Ha-jun’s soft voice, Eun-yul poured out all kinds of complaints inside. He knows he won’t listen if he talks to himself, so he’s talking to the sky. I pushed Kang Ha-jun away through Haneul, and I got it back.
“I’m close with my dad, why are you asking me?”
Holy sky, nice!
I couldn’t raise my fist because I was holding the sky, but it was so exhilarating that I couldn’t help but laugh. Her heart, which had stopped as if she was startled, was now beating normally.
“There’s a playground over there. Do you want to talk for a while?”
Eunyul opened her mouth stupidly at Kang Ha-jun’s coy voice, and later felt like she wanted to rip out all her hair.
Why did you think of going here and eating ramen?
Eunyul shook her head and turned to the left, hugging the sky.
“If you want to get to the playground, you have to go this way.”
When did I go to the playground? funny.
“I’m going to buy some ice cream.”
Haneul waved his hand and kindly explained everything, ruining everything.
* * *
As I was eating ice cream in the cool breeze, I felt that the weather was changing. As soon as she arrived at the playground, Haneul ran away, handing over the ice cream she was eating to Eunyul. She became best friends and played with the children who had come before her.
“When I went to the restaurant, I saw Han Cheol-seung, the congressman, there too.”
“is it so? “I don’t normally come here these days, so it’s surprising.”
As Eun-yul tilted her head and muttered, Kang Ha-jun looked at him.
“Are you really that good at lying?”
Eunyul finished eating and stood up holding the remaining stick. I went to the trash can and threw away the stick to control my shaking emotions. Eunyul returned to her stuttering steps and sat down. And he responded with a completely prepared expression.
“When did I lie?”
“When you said there was no food, you also said the congressman wouldn’t come.”
“So I cooked ramen for you. “You may have come because something was on your mind, Congressman.”
“Are you really that shameless?”
“It’s not that I’m shameless, but someone who is pushing it as a lie without any evidence that can be taken away is just being sloppy.”
“evidence… … “It’s evidence.”
While Kang Ha-jun’s words became blurred, Eun-yul checked to see if Haneul was playing well.
“How did you end up working here?”
Eunyul’s eyes glanced at him and back at the sudden question.
I left the inn with two pregnancy tests and the 500 bags I received from Kang Ha-jun. I saved 500, emptied my pockets, ate with change, and slept on the streets to survive as long as I could.
Then, just before I broke 500, I barely met my grandmother. It was really difficult at the time, but now that I think about it, I was lucky.
“Because the rice is delicious.”
“that is… … Is that all?”
“They said they were looking for employees.”
“dad!”
Eunyul, who was answering indifferently, saw her son when she heard heaven’s voice. Haneul, who saw another child boarding an airplane in his father’s arms, was waving his arms and singing Eunyul. Eun-yul, who realized that she also wanted to board a plane, was about to get up, but Kang Ha-jun was faster.
“I’ll go and see.”
Kang Ha-jun got up from his seat and approached Haneul.
“Huh? No I… … .”
I just have to go… … .
Eunyul, who had reached out her hand awkwardly, hesitantly lowered her hand. He couldn’t stop it strongly, and his clenched fingers were embarrassing.
Eunyul sighed.
People were this treacherous. The moment he found out that Kang Ha-jun was his child, he was afraid that Ha-neul would be taken away from him, and he was a little disappointed that he did not recognize him earlier.
This quirk of mine may be funny, but I couldn’t help it.
“But things have changed.”
Thinking that if I were to be taken in by Namgoong Hyuk, I could become the person who would reliably protect Haneul, I was tempted to just tell the truth out loud.
“no. “Let’s not think strange things.”
It is said that what is blocked with a hoe is blocked with phlegm. If you use Kang Ha-jun to stop Namgoong-hyuk, you might not get Haneul back. Eun-yul got up with the intention of pushing out Kang Ha-jun and bringing Haneul back. Eunyul, who was looking around to see where Haneul was, at some point relaxed his body and looked at the two people.
