Park Jeong-hoon threw his cell phone.
“Take my number. Are you a tree that you have to hit 10 times to get over? Do I have to ask for your number 10 times?”
“This is only the third time. Do you want to ask me seven more times?”
Unyielding, Eunyul fought back and picked up Park Jeong-hoon’s cell phone. Because of today’s events, I no longer have the desire to avoid him.
“I was going to tell you that I was a selfish bastard if I didn’t give you my number again… … .”
“I just didn’t need friends before.”
In particular, people who knew the original Seong Eun-yul felt even more repulsed.
“now?”
“give up.”
Eunyul called my cell phone, and this time, I confirmed to Park Jeong-hoon that he really gave me my number and handed it over to Park Jeong-hoon.
“I’ve made friends other than you, so now I’m going to stop pushing you away.”
As I got along with my old relationship one by one, I decided to accept Park Jeong-hoon as well.
“Just say it’s because you’re grateful. “What kind of giving up?”
“okay. That’s also true. “But how did you come here?”
I should have asked first, but I ended up asking now because we were talking about Haneul.
“iced coffee.”
Park Jeong-hoon, who was registering his name in his contact list, shook his head.
“I came to see you and was about to go back because you weren’t here today, but my grandmother asked me to drive her to Seoul.”
“Are you gone today too?”
When I pointed out the puzzling part of Park Jeong-hoon’s words, he lifted up the screen of my cell phone as if to show me. It was a message window with Eunyul’s name on it. He informed me that he had been sending messages here all along, and Park Jeong-hoon briefly explained how he came to be here.
“I came here to show you the picture. But you couldn’t meet her and just ate her grandmother’s food.”
So Lim Bong-soon asked me to give him a ride to Seoul, and I gladly agreed to do it in exchange for food.
“Before we left, we met an old man over there and took him for a ride together.”
“good job.”
“I think I played a really important role in who I am today.”
Eun-yul stroked Haneul’s face while listening to Park Jeong-hoon’s self-praise with one ear. Even though I only watched it in one day, I never got tired of watching it over and over again as if it had been a long time.
Eunyul thought, “I should hug Haneul when he wakes up,” and turned her head.
The door to the study room was tightly closed, as if the conversation had not yet ended.
* * *
While they were talking about what happened at the engagement ceremony and how Kang Yi-heum still doesn’t know about Haneul’s existence, Lee Hyun-seung and Lim Bong-soon didn’t say a word. In particular, Lim Bong-soon stared at Kang Ha-jun as if he wanted to know why today’s incident happened to his precious successor.
“I’m sorry for not being able to tell you in advance.”
Kang Ha-jun lowered his head.
“The apples are really fast.”
Im Bong-sun must have felt bad about that, and briefly clicked his tongue as if he was disapproving.
Lee Hyun-seung, unable to protect his grandchild this time, just stayed still.
“I wouldn’t have done it if Haneul wasn’t sleeping. “I’m going to see my dad being criticized by other people right in front of my eyes, and I’m going to hurt him so much.”
“sorry.”
There was no excuse. Everything Lim Bong-soon said was correct.
“Tsk.”
Kang Ha-jun seemed to know his mistake, so Lim Bong-soon couldn’t push him further and turned his head away.
Honestly, she knew. On the day of her engagement ceremony, Haneul disappeared, and from then on, he had no time to worry about anything else due to the guilt he felt towards Eunyul.
Even though I knew it, my personality wasn’t good enough to accept that something like today happened. In the first place, she was no different from a thorny hedgehog when it came to Eunyul and Haneul.
“What happened today is all my fault. “We will make sure this does not happen.”
In response to Kang Ha-jun’s apology, Lim Bong-soon only lamented and lamented.
It was then.
“grandma.”
The door opened and Eunyul came in and hugged Lim Bongsun from behind.
Despite that cute gesture, Lim Bong-soon slapped the back of Eun-yul’s hand as if it was nothing.
“Don’t you have any speed? “What should I say to that guy? Why are you stopping me?”
“Your grandmother is upset on your behalf.”
“Oh my. “This mojiri.”
Lim Bong-soon ended up hitting the back of Eun-yul’s hand some more.
“So, Mr. Hajun, stop scolding me. “His grandfather is upset too.”
“Are you looking into other people’s minds now?”
When Lim Bong-soon screamed, Eun-yul reacted as if she was in pain. Of course it was a joke.
As expected, the atmosphere I saw upon entering was not good.
I expected this from the moment Kang Ha-jun said he would speak alone. He intended to take all responsibility on me.
So I came in even though I knew Kang Ha-jun would not like it.
Why are you trying to handle everything on your own?
I don’t know about anyone else, but I was able to calm my grandmother down.
“Next time something like this happens, don’t tolerate it. Did you understand?”
“yes.”
Eunyul lifted the corners of her mouth as if she was relaxed and buried her face in Lim Bongsun’s shoulder.
“I can’t stand it.”
“Why can’t I tolerate something? I was listening to all those mean words earlier… … .”
Eunyul slightly raised her head as Lim Bong-soon spoke in frustration. He smiled brightly at Kang Ha-jun, who was looking at him.
“It’s all because I thought about it.”
Even after seeing Kang Ha-jun’s eyes filled with doubt, Eun-yul smiled heartily.
“My name is Park Jeong-hoon.”
Park Jeong-hoon gave a bold introduction of his own. Aside from that, his eyes were busy examining Kang Ha-jun’s expression.
“This is Kang Ha-jun. “I’m sorry about what happened last time.”
“Oh, well… … .”
When Kang Ha-jun first mentioned what happened at the garden last time, Park Jeong-hoon accepted it awkwardly.
“it’s okay. “I also misunderstood you.”
Eunyul’s eyes narrowed when she saw Park Jeong-hoon smiling kindly.
I think he may have kept that in mind. However, since I couldn’t confirm if it was real, there was no reason to intervene.
I felt like interrupting with something vague would only ruin the mood, so I focused on what I was doing.
Eunyul went into the kitchen and peeled fruit while Lim Bongsoon and Lee Hyeonseung looked around the house. Lim Bong-sun came because it was his first time here, and Lee Hyun-seung was looking at the items Haneul uses.
As a result, Park Jung-hoon and Kang Ha-jun naturally faced each other.
“… … So I said Ah! I shouldn’t show you this picture. “As soon as that thought occurred to me, I naturally turned around and left the room.”
Park Jeong-hoon told the story of how he got used to it and stopped showing photos to Kang I-heum in a very delicious way.
“He’s really friendly. “How can you chat like that with someone you’ve only seen a few times?”
Eunyul, who was muttering to herself that that was her ability, went out to the living room carrying a plate full of peeled fruits.
“Grandpa, I came to cut some fruit. grandma. Come and eat. “Come on.”
Without even looking back at me, I naturally call Lee Hyun-seung, whom I have only seen a few times, “grandfather” and treat him in a friendly manner.
“The apples are very sweet and delicious. “Try it.”
Eunyul dipped an apple with a fork and held it out to Lee Hyunseung, and Lim Bongsoon clicked his tongue.
“I don’t think you’ll like everything just because you like it.”
“Don’t act like you didn’t take care of grandma first, go to sleep. Her grandmother had bananas. Does she fall in love with me when she eats?”
Eunyul slyly placed a fork in Lim Bongsoon’s hand.
“You are so… … The face is good too. “Have you forgotten everything that happened earlier?”
“Hey, how could I forget?”
Eunyul ate her share of apples and smiled with her eyes.
“But does it make sense to eat fruit so carelessly?”
“Everyone has their own thoughts. “Even my grandmother sees me as something.”
“I don’t know how great you are coming up with, but don’t do it alone.”
“uh?”
Eunyul acted as if something unexpected had been pointed out.
“I’m telling you not to do it alone.”
Lim Bong-soon said as if he knew everything because he had watched Eun-yul all this time.
“Now, lean on other people and do that.”
“What kind of sky am I? It’s not that kid. “I’m an adult.”
“You’re the one who gave birth to a child. Who said you were a child? “He gave birth and raised a child alone, so doesn’t he understand that I keep telling him not to do life alone?”
Eun-yul pouted her lips at Lim Bong-sun’s eyes, as if she were looking at him as if she were a frustrated person.
“Why do you pretend not to exist when your grandmother is always next to you?”
I have never been alone. She was always by her side. However, Eun-yul’s dissatisfaction was reflected in Lim Bong-soon’s glare.
“Tsk, it looks like they have no intention of taking that guy with them.”
Lim Bong-sun clicked his tongue once and turned his head. Her Kang Ha-jun was where she looked.
“Take someone else with you.”
As her eyes moved slightly to the side, Eunyul’s head automatically turned.
“Who am I? “Isn’t it Park Jeong-hoon?”
The sound of Park Jeong-hoon sticking out his heart to Kang Ha-jun could be heard up to here.
