I came here because it was said to be a hangover soup restaurant, but the person serving me was so young that I thought he might be the owner’s grandson.
Namgoonghyuk stood up, looked at everyone, and said.
“This restaurant is also featured on social media, so give it a try. “Then you’ll know why I’m taking so long to open a store.”
When he explained why he came here to eat, people looked at each other as if it was really that delicious, and one by one, starting with Park Joo-hwan, they raised their spoons.
“hmm? “It’s delicious.”
“It just smells good, but why is it so clean?”
“Kimchi is no joke. “It’s better than ours.”
While each person was exchanging his or her impressions of the taste with the other person sitting in a huddle, Park Joo-hwan, who was accustomed to the taste of hangover soup, was busy eating in silence.
“They seem to be people who work together.”
I thought it would be like that when Namgoonghyuk stood up and spoke, but it became clear after hearing words from here and there. It looks like they brought in people who work at a Korean restaurant, and I thought they had a lot of time. This isn’t Seoul, and given the time it would take to travel there, it wasn’t a very efficient choice since there are plenty of delicious haejangguk restaurants in Seoul.
“It’s none of my business.”
All Eunyul had to do was provide the guests with what they needed and clean up after them all.
“There will be a good sky.”
There was a moment, so Eunyul leaned against the door and thought of Haneul. If I told him to wash, he would take off his clothes on his own and do what he could on his own, but I couldn’t feel at ease because I couldn’t see him.
“In your eyes, does Haneul still look like a child who can’t even speak?”
Someone mentioned Haneul, so I turned around and saw that it was Lim Bong-soon. Eunyul thought for a moment and shook her head in response to a question from Lim Bong-sun, who was typing on a calculator with her bankbooks lined up side by side.
“Iknow, right. “Haneul speaks well now.”
It took a long time for him to open his mouth, but he was such a smart kid that I couldn’t envy him when he could do things on his own.
“But what are you worried about?”
“I know, but I’m worried. “Dad, what should I do when my heart is like this?”
“Dad, you’re in the house too.”
Then, Eun-yul flinched at the knife-like words that Lim Bong-soon threw casually and dropped the hand holding the tray. She didn’t miss the tray, but Lim Bong-sun, who saw her whole body hanging limply, snorted at her.
“I wish I hadn’t gotten involved with that guy at all, but now I have to accept what I have to accept.”
“is that so?”
As Eun-yul was glumly accepting it, Lim Bong-soon pounded harder on the calculator.
“I don’t think we can just drop him. So, keep your head on.”
While Im Bong-soon was cursing Kang Ha-jun, whom she had been watching, calling him a tough guy, Eun-yul sighed and went into the kitchen. He saw that the guests’ side dishes were empty one by one, so he went to fill them.
“ah… … bar?”
Namgoonghyuk, who was listening to the conversation between Lim Bongsoon and Eunyul, muttered one word absentmindedly.
* * *
Eunyul came home from work later than usual, exhausted. After all the group guests left, Lim Bong-soon told Eun-yul to leave work. I was grateful for her consideration in sending me off work at the usual time, but Eunyul did not go.
“Whenever you say your bones hurt, why do you want to do it alone?”
Starting with an earthenware pot, moving heavy dishes, and washing dishes was not my usual job, but when I was told to leave as if I was chasing Eunyul out, I couldn’t leave with peace of mind. In the end, Eun-yul forced Lim Bong-soon into her room and cleaned up after her, telling her to rest.
“Oh my, it’s Sakshin.”
Eunyul patted her waist and made a loud groaning sound. Her face looked like that of a young woman in her 20s, but she spoke exactly like Lim Bong-soon, so she didn’t look young or old.
“I need to hurry up and lie down.”
Since I worked until late at night, I wanted to go home and rest now. So, Eunyul quickly entered the password and opened the door. Without even having time to notice the change, she shouted.
“Sky, dad is here.”
After taking off her shoes and entering, Eunyul saw no response from inside, so she opened the door to the room closest to the entrance, wondering if Haneul was sleeping.
“Sky?”
However, Ha-jun Kang approached Eun-yul while she was wondering what had happened to Haneul, unable to find Haneul.
“I’m here? “It was hard.”
“uh… … Well, everything is like that.”
Unknowingly, Eunyul was taken aback by the friendly tone of voice, saying, “It was hard,” and turned her head to answer in an awkward manner.
It felt strange to have someone greet me at home and ask if I was having a hard time, so I couldn’t accept it as calmly as usual.
“come in. Sky is in my room. and… … .”
Kang Ha-jun looked back at his room with a somewhat embarrassed look in his eyes, then grabbed Eun-yul’s wrist and went into the kitchen.
I wanted to see Haneul, but when she entered the kitchen, Eunyul’s head tilted to the side.
“I have something to say?”
So, I looked at Kang Ha-jun to see why he was doing that, and he opened his mouth, then sighed and said.
“Actually, my grandfather came to visit. It would have been nice if you had contacted me in advance, but you came so suddenly… … .”
Kang Ha-jun, who could not bear to tell that his maternal grandfather had no choice but to meet Haneul, looked very sorry.
Eunyul turned her head and saw someone’s shoes left at the front door. They’re too small to be Kang Ha-jun’s, but they’re adult shoes that aren’t mine.
‘grandfather.’
I felt like I knew who Ha-jun Kang was talking about. I’m talking about his maternal grandfather who took him in when he was young and raised him.
The problem is that Haneul may not know if he has nothing to do with Kang Ha-jun, so the truth is at stake that his maternal grandfather will find out when he comes to this house.
While Eun-yul couldn’t say anything, Kang Ha-jun let out a long sigh.
“Sorry. “I should have told you not to come in advance, but I didn’t.”
“And?”
“hmm?”
Eunyul raised her head and made eye contact with Kang Hajun.
“Do you know who Haneul is?”
“I haven’t said that yet. but… … .”
Kang Ha-jun continued speaking without being able to erase his embarrassment.
“When I said I was going to move into this house before, I said there was someone I wanted to live with.”
Hearing those confession-like words, Eunyul pointed at herself with her index finger. Kang Ha-jun nodded his head with a silent look in his eyes as if that person was me.
“and… … .”
He said that he was someone he wanted to live with. If anyone heard it, they would be mistaken for Kang Ha-jun liking him. No, what if you really think so?
“Then who does your grandfather think I am?”
Eun-yul asked to see if her thoughts were correct, and for the first time, Kang Ha-jun was unable to answer and averted his gaze. He seemed to know that her grandfather must have misunderstood.
“Why did you do that?”
“Because there was nothing I could say about you back then.”
It literally meant that we couldn’t talk about anything else other than living together. But perhaps that was a problem in itself, so Eunyul shook her head with a sigh.
“You mean Haneul is in that room?”
When he pointed to Kang Ha-jun’s room, he nodded and Eun-yul walked forward.
We saw enough about what kind of person Kang Ha-jun’s maternal grandfather was in the original work. A person who feels sorry for their grandchildren and wants to give them everything to care for them.
However, the maternal grandfather’s attitude towards Haneul could not be the same as that towards Kang Ha-jun. When he said he had a great-grandchild, I had to see for myself whether he would be eager to have one or whether he would not deserve it.
Eun-yul’s pace quickened as she felt like she had left Haneul with her grandfather for too long as she was talking with Kang Ha-jun again. He quickly knocked twice, opened the door, and opened his mouth to call his sky, then asked again.
“It’s from my grandfather’s side. “Please give me one.”
“How did you know that?”
“Hey, I’ve been going to Young’s Supermarket for so long that this is only natural.”
“Young’s Super?”
“yes yes. “It’s the closest supermarket to my grandmother’s restaurant, and the grandmothers there play Go-Stop every day.”
Eunyul, who saw Haneul take the tile with a soft hand, touched her forehead.
‘I told you not to show it in front of others… … .’
One day, I grabbed Haneul, who was casually sitting on a table in the supermarket, and gave her a hard word.
Haneul, who saw Eunyul come in late, quietly put down his card. Then he walked to the side with his hip steps, and there there was a checkerboard.
Haneul, who had just been holding the tile and playing with it, moved his hand on the board very naturally.
“General.”
Eunyul couldn’t help but laugh at the song-like cry of Haneul, who naturally moved the black stone.
It’s not even Janggi, but what are you doing with baduk balls?
Lee Hyun-seung turned around at the sound of Eun-yul’s laughter, and Kang Ha-jun followed him in.
While their gazes were intertwined, Eunyul bowed towards Lee Hyunseung.
“hello. It is called Seong Eun-yul. “He is my heavenly father.”
“Hmm. My name is Hyunseung Lee. Hajun’s grandfather.”
“nice to see you.”
As the unexpected meeting occurred, Eunyul felt nervous again.
As Haneul fell asleep, the infinitely bright and light atmosphere completely changed. Kang Ha-jun, who probably didn’t talk much, didn’t say anything, especially his maternal grandfather, and Eun-yul stayed quiet as it wasn’t my situation to step forward.
‘It looks similar.’
Eunyul’s eyes looked alternately at her maternal grandfather and Kang Ha-jun. It’s not that they look alike, but they have a similar vibe. That was the serious, calm, and unwavering gaze.
‘Well, you end up taking after the person who raised you.’
Eunyul, who thought that was natural, suddenly turned her gaze to the room where Haneul was. I raised Haneul. So does that mean that Haneul’s personality is similar to mine?
‘But Sky is cute and I’m not cute.’
I decided that it would not necessarily resemble the person who raised it.
Before she knew it, Eunyul’s mind was neatly organized.
“Mr. Seongyul.”
While there was a long silence due to each other’s complicated thoughts, it was my maternal grandfather who spoke first. Eunyul opened her eyes in slight surprise at the fact that the person he was talking to was not Kang Ha-jun but himself, but she quickly calmed her voice and answered.
“yes.”
“Haneul was very cute. “He was the most adorable child I’ve ever seen.”
When my name was called, my nervous mind relaxed as I heard Haneul’s praise.
“you’re welcome.”
Eunyul couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from opening up and answered. What parent doesn’t like praise from their child?
“I think Haneul felt that way because she often clashed with adults since she was young. “I speak politely and use Gos and Omok well.”
GoStop subtly changed his words. Although it was something a child learned naturally around his grandmothers, I didn’t think it was something to brag about.
‘But there’s no one as smart as Haneul.’
