“Then I will be your father.”
“Haneul is your father? why?”
Is it because I showed a lot of untrustworthy sides to Haneul today?
“It’s 9 o’clock, so you should go to sleep, you can do it.”
“what?”
Eunyul asked with a half smile in her eyes.
“Children can nag that they have to go to bed and wake up early. “If you let him sleep like that, it will be tomorrow soon.”
“that… … .”
No words came out.
“Dad, you hope tomorrow comes quickly, right?”
I realized what it means to say that children know more than you think. Eunyul looked at Haneul for a moment and then hugged her small body. He’ll be 6 next year, 7 the year after that… … Even now, just holding her like this made her feel sad, but as she thought about Sky growing up, he didn’t want to let her go even more.
“Then shall we sleep together?”
Haneul, who saw Eunyul’s smile, nodded deeply. Eunyul’s stiff body was finally starting to relax a little. Maybe Namgoonghyuk didn’t come, but I was just holding on to the time and continuing to worry. Considering that he couldn’t say a word to old man Cheol-seung Han last time, Namgoong-hyuk may really not be coming… … .
That moment when I gradually relaxed.
Bang bang.
Eunyul was startled by a strong knock on the door. When she turned her head, Haneul was looking at her.
“dad?”
Eunyul glared at the door and hid the sky behind her.
‘Where’s my phone?’
If I was just anxious earlier, now I was able to quickly decide what to do because I didn’t want to be separated from Haneul. Let’s report it to the police first. And since I have to hold on so as not to be dragged away by Namgoong Hyuk until the police arrive, it would be best to leave Haneul in the bathroom. No, let’s call grandma before that.
Eunyul, who was scanning the floor for her cell phone, raised her head when she heard a noise so strong that it made her head ring.
It was the sound of thunder. The sound of thunder in the dry sky hid the sound of the door breaking open.
Eunyul’s eyes went up blankly when she noticed the shoes coming inside.
“Are you living in such an old place?”
Eunyul pursed her lips as she looked at the other person who couldn’t straighten his back for fear of his head hitting the ceiling.
“How here, why… … .”
He was someone who should not have come here in the first place. The fact that he came here means that he realized who he was.
“dad?”
Sky lifted his head and called Eunyul. While she was worried because Eunyul’s expression was not good, she smiled happily at the person standing in front of her.
“mister.”
“Sky, no.”
Eunyul hid the sky behind her. This was someone I should no longer welcome. Kang Ha-jun, who saw that poor defense, laughed at him.
“You won’t be able to see it if you cover it like that?”
“Why are you here?”
I thought I knew the answer, but I didn’t want to admit it. Kang Ha-jun, as if he knew what Eun-yul was feeling, kindly revealed it.
“I came to pick up my child and my omega.”
Eun-yul looked at Kang Ha-jun with confused eyes and looked elsewhere. I was embarrassed because Kang Ha-jun, not Namgoong-hyuk, showed up, and judging by the fact that he came to my house, he seemed to have figured out who he was.
I wondered if I had ever been Kang Ha-jun’s omega, but I overlooked it, and since he said he was my child, I thought he must have known that Haneul was his son. I was naive to believe that just because he didn’t recognize me, Sky didn’t recognize me either.
“… … how… … .”
“Seongyul. “Don’t sit down like that, get up.”
Perhaps because the muttering was so quiet, Kang Ha-jun remained confident.
“Wake up and look at me.”
“… … yo. this?”
The voice was still so small that Kang Ha-jun could not understand it. However, the first thing to do was to raise Eunyul up. I was about to continue speaking, wondering if I could resolve my surprise later.
“Why are you coming into someone else’s house wearing shoes?”
Eunyul shouted loudly.
“… … what?”
Seeing Kang Ha-jun’s embarrassed face, Eun-yul shouted even more viciously.
“My child? my omega? You’re funny. Why are you coming in? Why do you break other people’s doors? They said it rained today, but if that door doesn’t close, how can I sleep? And this house is a monthly rental house, but they just broke in like that!”
When Kang Ha-jun first came in, he was scared, but after he shouted once, he was kicked out.
“monthly… … Anyway, I told you I came to get you. Omega… … “I was trying to tell you that I know about you.”
“You’re funny. Does the person who comes to pick you up come in as if taking borrowed money? yes? “I don’t know, but if you want to impress Haneul, you shouldn’t come like that.”
Why do you surprise people?
Why does it suddenly appear?
Why are you acting like you will save us? … .
Eun-yul became even more upset and glared at Kang Ha-jun.
“that… … First of all, I’m sorry. “I did it because I was nervous.”
Kang Ha-jun bent his legs and made eye contact with Ha-neul, who was hiding behind Eun-yul.
“Sky, I was surprised. Sorry.”
Although Haneul shook his head, he did not get off Eunyul’s back. Eunyul looked back at Haneul and then opened her eyes to Kang Hajun again. Look at this, my child, won’t you be surprised?
Kang Ha-jun brushed his hair, which had fallen forward. When I forced the door open and saw Eun-yul, I laughed because it wasn’t late, but now I just made an awkward expression.
“I thought Namgoonghyuk came first so I hurried. If I was late, they wouldn’t have opened the door, so I forced it open and… … .”
Kang Ha-jun quietly took off his shoes and came in.
“Let’s sleep somewhere other than here.”
Kang Ha-jun, who saw Eun-yul’s gaze becoming more harsh, stretched out his hands toward the sky.
“Haneul, I’m sorry that you broke the door. “I don’t think I can sleep here today. Do you want to go with me?”
Haneul blinked his round eyes and looked at Kang Ha-jun. The child looked at his face, looked at his hands, and then she put her arms around Eunyul’s neck.
“They say you shouldn’t carelessly follow other people.”
“ah… … . yes. “The sky is smart.”
Kang Ha-jun nodded, looking embarrassed.
Eun-yul looked at Kang Ha-jun with a more confident attitude.
“You know this is a home invasion, right?”
“Sorry.”
“If you know… … ha. But how did you know Namgoonghyuk would come?”
“I received a call.”
“Someone told me about my situation…” … .”
… … The words “Should I contact you?” suddenly appeared and disappeared behind someone’s face. Eun-yul raised her head with a look of uncertainty, and Kang Ha-jun nodded.
“that’s right. Rep. Han Cheol-seung called me.”
“What did you say?”
“Namgoonghyuk is here.”
“And?”
“That’s it.”
But you came here in such a hurry?
Kang Ha-jun sighed when Eun-yul looked at him wondering if additional explanation was necessary.
“It’s obvious why Namgoong Hyuk is coming to visit you. “I’m afraid something might happen.”
As Kang Ha-jun was very nervous and was talking while looking at his eyes, Eun-yul looked at him in a much better mood than before.
It seems like he came in a hurry because he felt like Haneul, if not himself, would be in danger. It was also seen that he bent down to accommodate Haneul, and he did not act threateningly after the door was opened. and… … .
My nervousness that Namgoonghyeok would attack me suddenly became calm when I met Kang Hajun.
‘That’s because I was surprised.’
Eun-yul, who rationalized that it wasn’t because Kang Ha-jun was trustworthy, nodded at him to get out of the way. While Kang Ha-jun stepped aside and looked around the house, Eun-yul also checked the broken door.
If it is erected, it will act as a screen.
“Seongyul.”
He turned around when he heard Eun-yul calling him, and the moment he made eye contact with Kang Ha-jun, he reflexively backed away. Then he realized that Haneul was still hanging on his back and stretched out his hand, which he later remembered. He realized that Haneul’s body was about to fall backwards and quickly turned around, but Kang Ha-jun was faster. He reached out his hand and supported Haneul’s back and sat her down on the floor.
“ah… … .”
I was so surprised that I got bitten on the upper body and almost got hurt by Haneul. As Eunyul was looking at the sky to see if she was hurt, the sky rubbed her eyes.
“Dad, I’m sleepy.”
“It’s time for heaven to sleep.”
Eunyul checked the time and woke up holding Haneul in her arms.
“Stay in front of the car.”
“I’m not going to get in the car.”
“… … “Aren’t you going with me?”
“Why are you following me when I can just go to my grandmother?”
Eunyul grunted and wrapped the robe around Haneul’s body. He went out the front door holding an umbrella in case it rained. Regardless of whether Kang Ha-jun followed or not, he just left and disappeared already. Kang Ha-jun, who was putting on his shoes to follow Eun-yul, sighed.
I’ve been to Sooni’s Haejangguk several times already and have seen the restaurant owner prepare it for me. At first, he seemed so close that I thought he was my grandchild, so I couldn’t ask him to go to my house instead of there.
Kang Ha-jun, who missed Seong Eun-yul because he was thinking, quickly left the front door. However, Seong Eun-yul, holding the sky, was seen stopping after only a few steps. With someone familiar standing in front of him.
Namgoonghyuk, who was standing in front of Eunyul and snickering, spoke up.
“Have you finished packing? “Are you saying all I need is a child?”
Since Eunyul didn’t seem to have anything else to take care of other than Haneul, Namgoonghyuk asked curiously and then nodded. Anyway, I told you to pack your bags, so I meant to tell you to follow me, but I didn’t mean to make sure you packed them.
“Then if you go right now… … .”
Namgung-hyuk spoke with an excited face, but stopped when he saw Kang Ha-jun.
“Kang Ha-jun?”
“Where are you taking me?”
Kang Ha-jun’s curious question was not a greeting he found while passing by. His quiet voice and cold gaze towards Namgoonghyuk were showing his caution towards him.
He couldn’t have been that cold as he was clearly showing his expression behind Eunyul’s back without hiding it. Namgoonghyuk snorted as if it were ridiculous, knowing that the disapproving attitude was all because of him.
“It looks really scary. “If anyone saw it, they would think he was a gangster.”
“I guess there’s something like that in the world these days.”
“Yes, it exists in today’s world too. That’s why I just kept up with people like Kang Ha-jun. yes?”
“He said he opened a store because he didn’t like that.”
“So I came here to get the chef.”
