“I ended up living a miserable life.”
When Lim Bong-soon took a spoon instead of a ladle, Eun-yul quickly waved her hands.
“I live a really nice life now. And I told you. It’s not the old Seong Eun-yul. Where did the real me come from? The moment I saw Imtegi, the real me started from that moment.”
As Eun-yul continued to appeal to Lim Bong-soon about her changes, Hyeon Je-ha, who was lost in thought, suddenly joined in.
“I think that’s right.”
“huh? “Well, what?”
Eun-yul, who had been caught up in Im Bong-sun’s harsh energy and had forgotten the conversation she had just had with Hyeon Je-ha, looked at him.
“I’m caught up in you.”
“You must be crazy.”
Eunyul wasn’t just able to spit out whatever came into her head, she just threw it out.
“I have to curse and ask why I was bullied. I have to say that I will return it in the same way as what happened to me back then. “I should at least punish Ha-jun for never giving up on him, and let him fall for just one meal.”
Eun-yul responded as if Hyun Je-ha should have reacted as if it was completely ridiculous. However, Hyeonjeha responded calmly without being excited at all.
“I heard you’ve changed.”
Eunyul was so shocked by that short reason that she pounded her chest. I was frustrated because it felt like there was a helpless child sitting in front of me.
“It’s true that I’ve changed, but that doesn’t concern you.”
The past does not disappear, so even if I had changed, it was not a reason for Hyun Je-ha’s hatred to become shallow.
“Why am I saying this… … .”
It was a time when Eunyul was feeling skeptical and was just ruffling her hair.
“I am not enough to cook you a hundred bowls of rice.”
So, I wanted him to be angry instead. Hyun Je-ha’s expression was still calm.
“I wanted a friend.”
What kind of friend are you suddenly talking about? Eunyul cut it just right.
“You have a friend. “Namgoonghyuk.”
“She likes me. “Not like that, just someone I can really tell my feelings to.”
I found it quite by chance. It was obvious that Kang Ha-jun was giving his heart to Seong Eun-yul.
“Why are you and Kang Ha-jun so simple?”
Eunyul muttered without hiding her sighing. It’s Seong Eun-yul, who bullied them in the past, but why does he open his heart so much when we meet again?
“well. “Maybe he wanted someone like you.”
Hyeonjeha swallowed his heart without adding another word.
Either yourself or Kang Ha-jun. They didn’t have time to take care of each other due to the wounds they each had, so they were attracted to Eunyul because she was someone they could put their minds at ease with and spoke warm words to them.
From the moment you enter this restaurant, all your painful thoughts are erased. She liked the faintly wafting savory smell and found herself smiling at some point while chatting with Eunyul.
Unfortunately, Hyun Je-ha came to Eun-yul later than Kang Ha-jun and Namgung-hyuk, but he came to a conclusion quickly. He wanted to be friends with Eunyul.
Lee Hyun-seung often drank tea with his grandson, Kang Ha-jun. It was a time when we were satisfied just being together without having to talk to each other. However, today, Lee Hyun-seung could not erase the expression on his face as if something was lacking.
“Why are you doing that?”
Hajun Kang asked while savoring the scent of tea. Hyunseung Lee only looked at his teacup and did not touch it.
“It’s nice to see you after a long time, but I’m bored.”
Hyunseung Lee spoke honestly without anything to hide.
“At times like this, I want to see Haneul… … .”
Even after hearing what he wanted, Kang Ha-jun did not show much of a reaction. Rather, he moved his grandfather’s cold teacup aside and placed his own empty cup in its place.
“I will talk to Haneul and say yes, and I will come with you.”
“It looks like you’re not close to Haneul yet.”
So, I guess I can’t answer right away. Despite Lee Hyun-seung’s regretful words, Kang Ha-jun did not give a hasty answer.
“I too am approaching without haste.”
“Have you made up your mind?”
“yes.”
Kang Ha-jun faced his maternal grandfather with a firm, unwavering gaze.
“I will confess if I get the chance.”
“Wow, it looks like you’ve really made up your mind.”
“It’s such a waste of time that I wasn’t sure before.”
Kang Ha-jun checked the time, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Eun-yul. He asked if I could pick him up at the end of the day.
“I’m relieved to hear you say that, but… … .”
Hyunseung Lee was half thrilled and half anxious that his grandson liked someone.
“It won’t be easy.”
“If you’re talking about my father, you don’t have to worry about it.”
I was fully aware of Kang Yi-heum’s wish for me to continue with Hyeon Je-ha. Knowing and listening are two different things.
“Still, it looks like something is going on these days.”
Lee Hyun-seung expressed concern when he heard that Kang I-heum met unexpected people and showed up here and there.
“It doesn’t matter to me that we’ve completely lost contact, but I have a feeling it’s because of you… … . “If you want, I can look into it for you separately.”
“it’s okay.”
Kang Ha-jun, who expressed his intention to take care of everything despite his maternal grandfather’s concerns, stood up holding his vibrating cell phone.
“Are you going already?”
“yes. “I have to go now so I can pick you up on time.”
The reply from Eun-yul said so, so we should leave for the restaurant right now.
“okay. “Eat well and don’t overexert yourself.”
“All right.”
Kang Ha-jun picked up his coat and turned around, then looked at his maternal grandfather again, wondering if something had occurred to him.
“If you look at my face, doesn’t it look like I’m eating well?”
Hyunseung Lee looked at Hajun Kang’s face. He didn’t noticeably gain weight, but he didn’t have the edgy aura he used to have.
She has a good amount of weight and a good complexion. In particular, the look in his eyes softened, making it clear that he had eaten and slept well.
“You seem to be eating very well.”
“Eunyul hates missing meals. “With Sky by her side, she also eats snacks.”
When I was alone, I worked constantly and only moved when I felt hungry, but these days, I eat on time. Maybe that’s why my body was reacting on its own when it was time to eat.
“It’s a good change.”
Hyun-seung Lee is also at ease when he sees that his grandchild is not just eating well, but is also feeling at ease.
“Go and call again. “Be sure to tell Haneul that I missed you.”
“rest.”
Kang Ha-jun made eye contact with his maternal grandfather, said hello, and left the house.
Kang Ha-jun got into the car and instinctively checked his pheromones that had spread throughout the car. She didn’t have anything to do, but she opened the window to let out some air and got behind the wheel.
I had to run diligently from now on to pick up Eunyul and Haneul.
* * *
Kang Ha-jun parked the car and got out and found Eun-yul standing at the entrance of the restaurant. Since only his back was visible, he didn’t seem to notice him, so he walked towards him step by step without being surprised.
For Kang Ha-jun, each day is too short these days. He enjoyed eating breakfast face-to-face with Haneul and focused on work while waiting for it to be time to get off work. Then it was soon time for him to go home, and he spent time talking to Eunyul and Haneul together in the evening, and when he came to his senses, the day was over.
Even when I lay down to sleep alone, I would think about what happened that day and before I knew it, I would fall asleep and each day would pass by so quickly.
And to that extent, my feelings for Eun-yul became even stronger.
I couldn’t have imagined it before. But even though I couldn’t believe the change in me, it was good.
Seeing him again, I felt like all the moments that I had absorbed without even realizing it had made me who I am today.
Before I knew it, I was looking at him from a distance so close that I could almost touch him.
“You know.”
Eun-yul spoke to me as if she knew Kang Ha-jun was right behind her.
Kang Ha-jun, who was about to put his hand on his shoulder, lowered his arm as if embarrassed and stood next to him. From earlier, I was curious about what Eunyul was staring at without moving.
Since the picture was drawn with crayons on white paper, I knew it was Haneul’s work without even asking.
“Do you think you know who the person Haneul drew is?”
In response to Eun-yul’s question, Kang Ha-jun took a closer look at the picture he had glanced at in its entirety. Four people standing side by side between the sky and the lawn.
The person standing on the far left was clearly Lim Bong-soon, as she was the only one wearing a skirt. And there was a child holding the hands of two people on either side, and judging by their short hair, I could tell they were both men… … .
Even though Kang Ha-jun knew everything, he was unable to answer easily, so Eun-yul reached out and pointed at the picture.
“This is me.”
He pointed to a person with a smiling face.
“And this is Kang Ha-jun.”
He pointed out the tall person next to him.
“Because I’m looking at this picture… … To Haneul, it seems like we are one family, right?”
“okay.”
“I was only planning to live for three months, but this is an unexpected picture.”
Aside from himself, Haneul’s heart was shaken.
“I guess telling Haneul that we would only live together for a while had this result.”
Eunyul let out a long, confused breath.
“Even though I knew that Haneul was not a child who knew nothing, I missed it.”
Eunyul turned her head and made eye contact with Kang Hajun.
“I was too busy looking into my heart.”
And he did not hide that his heart was towards Kang Ha-jun.
“I think we need to make up our minds a little faster.”
Whatever direction it takes.
“And I think it would be good if you explained it to Haneul.”
Just as you taught us that if you don’t have strawberries, you can go to the supermarket and buy them, you can also explain this. However, it would be better for Haneul if we told him as soon as possible. Now that the child has accepted her grandmother and Kang Ha-jun as one family… … .
“Oh, I’m ready to leave work. “The sky will bring you out.”
Eunyul felt like she had been spending too long in front of the store, so she headed inside.
“Sky, uncle has come. now… … .”
