“I don’t have a nose.”
“then… … .”
It was difficult to identify it because it looked like it was just a few circles drawn.
As Ha-jun Kang was looking at the picture and mentioning various animals, the door to the restaurant opened and two men came out. They were Hyeon Je-ha and Nam Gung-hyuk.
Hyun Je-ha took the lead, perhaps returning now. He showed no reaction other than glancing down at Kang Ha-jun.
The reaction was so cold that I couldn’t believe I had ever dated him before. Then, as if remembering what she wanted to say, she stopped and looked down at Kang Ha-jun.
Hyeon Je-ha’s indifferent eyes under her long eyelashes were not the same as looking at the alpha she used to date.
“Pay back.”
One of Kang Ha-jun’s eyebrows twitched at what Hyun Je-ha said.
“I will repay you for all the insincere treatment you have made towards me and for not being able to understand my pain.”
Before, I was polite to Ha-jun because I thought he would be my fiancé, but not now.
Kang Ha-jun, who realized Hyun Je-ha’s feelings, soon returned to his original expression. Since he wasn’t clinging to me, he had to act accordingly.
“okay. “I’ll pay you back.”
In response to Kang Ha-jun’s answer, Hyun Je-ha turned away from him.
And Namgoonghyuk, who was following behind, looked into the sky and thought for a moment.
“Jeha, wait a minute.”
Then he called Hyun Je-ha, who was ahead. Namgoong-hyuk stretched out his hand and asked for a moment, then turned and approached Haneul, who was playing with Ha-jun Kang.
“Hmm.”
Kang Ha-jun frowned as Namgoong-hyuk cleared his throat.
“Go on your way.”
“I’m going. “I’m going, but I’m standing because I have something to say.”
Namgoonghyuk cleared his throat again, responding to Kang Hajun’s nervous tone. The person he came to meet was not Kang Ha-jun.
As Namgoonghyuk continued to hesitate and did not go, Haneul raised his head and made eye contact. Only then did Namgoonghyuk clear his throat and quietly speak.
“sorry.”
“mister.”
Namgoonghyuk frowned at Haneul’s call.
“Why am I an old man? “I called that person over there uncle.”
Namgoonghyuk let out a complaint for no reason, but then, wondering what he was doing, he changed his mind again.
“I didn’t say what I thought you would hear. No, what excuse are you making? “I was careless.”
Namgoonghyuk ruffled his hair roughly and crouched down facing the sky.
“I’ll pay you back too.”
“Do you pay me back?”
“okay. “I will definitely repay this debt someday, so keep track of it.”
Haneul looked at Namgoonghyuk and shook his head.
“no, I do not want.”
“Okay, I’ll help you in the future, what? no?”
Namgoonghyuk was embarrassed by Haneul’s rejection and asked back, and Kang Hajun secretly covered his mouth. Thanks to Haneul’s quite clever personality, he was embarrassed more than once. So, Namgoonghyuk would be similar.
“I apologized. “That’s fine, but why do you call it a debt?”
“It’s because I’m sorry for just saying it.”
It was because Namgoong Hyuk didn’t want it to end with just an apology. But I guess it still wasn’t that good for Haneul.
“I don’t like that.”
“no?”
As Haneul nodded, Namgoonghyuk was anxious about what to do. Earlier, when Hyeon-jae argued with Kang Ha-jun and demanded that he pay back, the conversation went smoothly, but he… … .
As Namgoonghyuk was scratching the back of his head, Haneul tapped his leg.
“I’m not finished thinking about it yet. “Wait a moment.”
“You said you would help me, right?”
“It did. But you said you didn’t like it.”
Namgoonghyuk was about to reply that that was why he was worrying so hard when he noticed Haneul’s waving hand gestures.
“what. “Come closer?”
When I saw the signal and bent my legs, Haneul approached me. As if that wasn’t enough, he stood on tiptoe and put his hand to Namgoonghyeok’s ear.
So, Namgoonghyuk stiffened while trying to whisper.
When Namgoonghyuk’s expression twisted in awkwardness, Haneul laughed, probably because it was funny. Then she whispered a message so that only Namgung-hyuk could hear it, and then left for Kang Ha-jun.
Namgoonghyeok, who was still hunched over even after Haneul left, sighed and approached Hyeonjeha.
“What does the child say?”
“If you want to help yourself… … .”
Namgoonghyuk hesitated, as if he was remembering what Haneul said earlier, and then answered.
“Every time I come, I want to order two bowls of hangover soup.”
“I can listen to you.”
Hyun Jae-ha quickly decided that it wasn’t a burden and got into the driver’s seat. Namgoonghyuk opened the door and looked back for a moment, thinking he might leave first. As I looked at Haneul’s little face playing in the arms of Kang Ha-jun, one thing came to mind.
“keen… … cute.”
Are all kids like that?
When Eunyul came home, she immediately washed up with Haneul and lay down on the bed. He tried to thank Kang Ha-jun for visiting Haneul, but he pushed Eun-yul’s back, saying he could do it later.
Eunyul had a quick conversation with Haneul on the bed, and stroked the head of Haneul, who fell asleep not long after, probably because he was tired.
“My child.”
He gently ran his fingers through her soft hair and caressed her soft cheeks. Although I couldn’t touch his closed eyes, I gently touched his eyelashes and stroked the tip of his nose.
“Sky.”
〈Draw how anxious the child must have been.〉
When Hyun Je-ha left and I was alone, Lim Bong-soon came out and did that. She scolded Haneul, but she was not at peace.
‘It’s all my fault. I couldn’t look into that child’s heart.〉
I felt guilty for hearing that Haneul was so anxious. Lim Bong-soon clicked her tongue as she looked at Eun-yul blaming herself.
〈Stop talking nonsense.〉
Lim Bong-soon woke Eun-yul to his senses with a sound.
〈Remember when I decided to give birth to Haneul. Since you kept what you wanted without wavering, you can do the same this time as well.〉
“shake… … without.”
Eunyul muttered, pushing Sky’s cheek up with her index finger.
“But it’s different than back then. “Back then, if heaven had chosen for me alone whether to give birth to you or not, not now.”
Eunyul looked down at Haneul with her head resting on her hands. You can trust this child who will embrace everyone because the sky is clear and wide.
“hmm?”
Eunyul, who was stroking Haneul’s hair, wrinkled her nose. Soon after, he furrowed his eyebrows and felt something, causing his upper body to jump up.
“this… … .”
I took my cell phone next to the bed and looked at the calendar.
“It’s already this month.”
Eunyul, remembering the cycle that comes around once every three months, lay down again. Every day seems to have gone by in a hectic manner since I met Kang Ha-jun.
“I forgot the cycle even came.”
It was a big event that shook my life as much as having Haneul, but I had forgotten about it.
It was a cycle that occurred regularly except when I became the world’s Seong Eun-yul and became pregnant with Haneul. He always sent a signal to me, who seemed to live like an ordinary man except for the occasional time he smelled pheromones, as if telling me not to forget pheromones.
“Even if the cycle comes all the time, the problem is… … .”
Eunyul’s eyes looked towards the ceiling. And with eyes accustomed to the dark, I slowly looked around the room.
“The environment has changed.”
The place where I spend my cycle is not a small monthly rental house, but Kang Ha-jun’s house.
“ha.”
It’s not like I can cycle with him right now, but it was the only week where I felt like I couldn’t fully store up my pheromones.
* * *
Eun-yul opened her eyes in the morning and hugged herself with tremors all over her body.
“ah.”
My neck was locked, and it seemed like my body was getting achy in time with the cycle. After seeing that the seat next to her was empty, Eunyul slowly put his feet down on the bed and stood up, then felt dizzy and fell back down.
“Oh, really, why am I like this when I just want to cycle?”
The cycle hasn’t even started yet, but my immune system is weakened, so I’m always getting colds.
While I was taking a moment to catch my breath and adjust to the dizziness, something occurred to me, so I raised my head.
“Oh, I have to go to the ecological park today.”
I remembered it until yesterday, but quickly forgot about it.
Eunyul got up again, resting her forehead, and when she came out to the living room, she was met by Haneul’s dancing, which had been very excited since the morning. At that moment, Kang Ha-jun, who was playing with Haneul, spotted Eun-yul and said with a smile.
“I’m in a good mood this morning, so I’m jumping up and down like that.”
“ah… … .”
“Do you know where kindergarten is going today?”
Eunyul nodded, but unconsciously squinted at the dull pain radiating from inside her head.
Only then did Kang Ha-jun realize that Eun-yul’s condition was different from usual and approached her with a serious face.
“what’s the matter. Are you sick?”
“A cold.”
Eunyul shook her head as if it was no big deal and then let out a long sigh as her headache started to ring again.
Kang Ha-jun touched Eun-yul’s forehead. He said while wiping his feverish forehead and examining his complexion.
“I guess I won’t be able to work today. I’ll call the restaurant, so rest at home. “I will take you to the sky too.”
“are you okay.”
“It hurts, but if you overdo it, it won’t get better. I’ll contact my doctor… … .”
Kang Ha-jun took out his cell phone and was about to make a call, but Eun-yul held his hand and stopped him.
