Chapter 149 – #145 Lion Face, Four Little Kids
***
Sit at a table, drink a cold drink, and look around.
The heat has gone a lot in the past few days, and the fall has arrived, and a cool breeze blows.
Trees changing clothes one by one.
I’m just looking at them…
I suddenly heard the sound of a deep sigh, and when I turned my gaze forward, I saw two children lying face down on the table.
Minah and the fox. I was doing this because I tried to get permission from my parents and failed.
“Cheer up, both of you.”
“Huh. Do you have any good excuses, mister?”
“Um… Well, I have to have some kind of strength.”
Still, like young kids, they get up right away.
The two children clenched their fists and cheered each other.
“Now it’s just the first attempt. If it doesn’t work, you’ll keep going for the second and third!”
“Oh! I see, Rim!”
It was a time when I was enjoying the two children’s contests.
Suddenly, familiar figures came into the eyes.
The moment I was about to enter the cafe, the kids ran into me. He opens his eyes wide and points at me with his index finger.
“Huh? Mister?”
“Huh? Hana and Seoyeon?”
What. What about that combination? Did you two know each other?
As we blink each other in surprise, Mina and the fox, who were in between, look back curiously.
Then he opened his eyes and said.
“Mister. Who are those two for!”
“Right. Tell me the truth quickly. Where and how did you meet!”
Oh, this is… Something is troubling.
When I can’t speak, the two elementary school students interpret it on their own.
Draw on examples from the past.
“Uncle, you’re suspicious.”
“That’s right. You’ve been very suspicious lately. The same goes for the idols from last time!”
“No, even Mina knows that, so why are you talking about that now…”
Then Hana and Seoyeon walked over and sat down right next to our table. No, after sitting down, bring a chair and join them?
A chilly aura suddenly spreads around.
Hey, let’s turn around to settle the incident…!
“No, but how do you two know?”
I point to Hana and Seoyeon and ask, and after looking at each other, Seoyeon replies as the representative.
“We have the same dad. So we meet often.”
Oh, yes. Why didn’t I think of that?
Both of them were fathers of Lim Ho-jun.
“But if the mothers found out, there would be an uproar…?”
“Yes. It is.”
He said that the relationship between Seol-ah and Seo-hee is not usually bad.
From Seol-ah’s point of view, she took her own husband by the tail, so she understood something, and Seo-hee said that there was such a thing as not looking at her Seol-ah from the past.
So I thought the two daughters wouldn’t have sex with each other, but that doesn’t seem to be the case again.
“That’s why we meet secretly from time to time like this. But we’re not close friends.”
Knowing that I wanted to avoid this situation, Seo-yeon complied with changing the topic. Difficult questions are also avoided or refrained from.
But the other one has none of that. She looks at me and she says with a twinkle.
“Mister, are you free today? No, are you free now?”
Just looking at it, I can see why you’re asking.
This must mean going to a motel and having sex.
However, as far as I can tell, the other three children are also not normal.
I look at one of them alternately with half-open eyes.
“Hey, Imhana. What does that have to do with you and your free time?”
“What are you, are you curious about my uncle’s free time?”
“Mister, you’re busy today. Playing with Rim and me.”
As soon as Minah’s last answer was over, the tension grew.
The good news is that neither of them know that I’ve had a blast with all four of them yet?
However, if you notice, the child who really doesn’t have this much has raised the level of danger one step further.
“Then, kids. Can’t I borrow the old man for just one hour?”
Three dumb kids.
All of them show expressions of incomprehension, and only I who know the meaning burns my stomach.
I don’t know what words will come out of that mouth.
“Imhana. What are you going to do with the man for an hour?”
At Lim Seo-yeon’s question as the representative, Min-ah and the fox nodded together.
We didn’t even introduce each other, but we got along very well.
“Oh, yes. Kids don’t have to know! It’s a business only for adults.”
“For adults only…”
“Business…?”
“Alone?”
The eyes of the three children were fixed on me, and I got up from my seat laughing haha.
“He makes a joke out of it. What are you taking so seriously? It’s a joke. Is it?”
“I’m not joking, I’m 100% serious…”
But when I stare at him, he understands what he is saying and immediately agrees.
Haha laughs exaggeratedly and says yes.
“That’s right. It was Joke. Joke Joke!”
Ugh. I can’t act
I’ll have to match my words in advance next time, he.
“Uncle, where are you going!”
“I’m in the bathroom. They’re introducing themselves to each other.”
“Yes, come on~”
I’m lost in my thoughts while watching what I’m going to do in the bathroom.
In this vast land mass of Seoul, it is just here among the many coffee shops.
What luck…
It’s the first time in my life that this has happened.
‘Once we set up the stage, we’ll introduce ourselves to each other.’
If you go too early, you can’t because it’s literally an icy road. However, if you go late, you can burn up and make dangerous remarks… Hmm. About 5 minutes?
Around that time, the introduction will be finished and it will be appropriate.
I looked at the time, killed some time, then went back to my seat.
Unlike the fox, who has a burning will to fight, it is fortunate that Mina is a bit cheerful.
On the other hand, Seoyeon is a bit cold, but Hana has a bit of an idiot side, so the situation didn’t look as serious as I thought.
We communicate moderately well.
Then I remembered what Hana and Seoyeon used to eat and went back to the table with a drink.
And around that time, the atmosphere softened quite a bit. However…
“Come on, you guys.”
“Ah. Thank you, mister!”
“Huh. As expected, my uncle is the best!”
The bomb dropped again with one word.
The eyes of the three children go up sharply.
“What? My uncle?”
“Whoever wants to, you uncle? Huh?”
“Do you know if that’s rude to you?”
But when I saw these three women, she said one while washing the straw.
“Then you guys should be my uncle too. Then that’s fine, right?”
Everyone has nothing to say at the words that are said so coolly without any personal affair.
And with this, I was able to update the information about Im Hana.
This kid is really the king of coolness with no greed other than sex.
Maybe I’m also just an object of affection as a sex partner, and even if I want to have a relationship with another woman, wouldn’t it be cool?
The three embarrassed children look at each other while drinking drinks.
However, unlike Hana, these three seem to want to make sure that they are up and down.
The fight ignites again.
“I’m with the old man every day~”
At Seoyeon’s one word, I can feel three pairs of fierce eyes flying in and sticking to me.
I closed my eyes and tried to ignore those gazes.
Then say one.
“What… I see it almost every day too. At home too?”
Three pairs of stinging gazes flying again.
I crossed my arms and ignored him too.
A problem that will take sometime.
Especially the fox already knows about my identity.
You probably guessed what that meant from what those kids said.
When I slightly opened my eyes, the child met my eyes.
The moment the other kids were arguing, I quickly said to the fox with a look on my face.
‘Please help me.’
The fox pouted. And even let out a sigh.
I don’t like it, but it means that I will help you.
And the next turn was Mina.
“Here, Rim and I are going to go overseas with you this time. That’s at least 3 months. Indefinitely!”
“Eek?”
“Really, mister?”
After hearing about the unexpected schedule, Seoyeon and Hana were surprised and questioned me. I nodded to show that it was true.
Then, the eyes of the two are not normal.
In particular, in the case of Im Hana, he grabbed my shoulder with an angry face and shook me mercilessly, to the point where I questioned whether he was the one who had been saying yes or no until just now.
“Mister! Then the sex you promised me… Yup.”
Were you angry about it in the end?
It’s so coherent that it’s easy to understand.
My guardian angel calming them down then.
“For a moment.”
How will the fox save me from this crisis?
Depending on how well she copes with this situation that requires agility and clear judgment, she will be able to get a glimpse of her development potential in the future.
Ye-rim is really reluctant, but she forced a smile as if she was forced to.
Of course, it was something that I could figure out because it was only me, but… Anyway, a child who uses advanced acting while hiding her own feelings.
“Then why don’t you two come with me?”
“Us? Is that okay?”
At Seo-yeon’s question, the fox smiles with all her might.
“…Yeah. Of course!”
“Rim…!”
Min-ah reveals her doubts, but she soon settles down to see if she believes in her best friend.
Seoyeon and Hana are silent.
Then, after looking at each other for a while, Hana stood up first and took the fox’s hand and greeted them.
“You’re so cool! Did you say Yerim? Thanks!”
Then Seoyeon-do.
“Me too. It must be uncomfortable, but thank you so much for joining us…!”
That’s how the number of prey following my overseas schedule became a total of 4 people.
Way back home.
Minah asks the fox.
“But why are you like this all of a sudden, Lim?”
“Oh? It’s nothing special. It’s just… They seem to be friends with you, but won’t you be very uncomfortable if we fight?”
“Well, now that I think about it, it is. But isn’t it too much to include them on the trip?”
My thoughts were the same.
A handshake in a way. It was like abandoning the future to avoid an immediate crisis.
Especially if you knew my schedule, I should have avoided it even more.
Still, since he’s a smart kid, I wondered what kind of thoughts he had when he moved.
“That… I decided to learn something with Dohyang unni. The uncle also said he was going because of work. Then, Min, you might be alone, so you won’t be bored…”
Ohh?
“Ah. So you’re saying you’re worried about me?”
“Heh heh. That’s what I thought.”
“Rim…! It’s only our Rim! I love you♥”
“Yes♥”
Mina was able to get out of her car in a good mood thanks to the surroundings.
She waves her hand at the child who disappears over the elevator and praises her as she drives her car to her fox house.
“It’s quite good. Have you thought about that? But tell me honestly. Is this an impromptu excuse, or did you really think that way?”
“That’s the only way I could think of at the moment, but it just didn’t look bad. Anyway, if Mina is alone, she’ll keep trying to join me or Mr. I thought it would be nice too. More than anything, those two are like the children the man used to work with.”
It’s really quick to notice.
I already feel reassured thinking that such a smart kid will support me.
“Our Yerim did a good job, so we should give him a prize?”
“Oh. Really?”
A child who likes jumping around in the passenger seat.
I said while stroking the child’s head.
“Okay! But the acting earlier was a little disappointing.”
“Oh… Honestly, it was really hard for me to say that. I keep wondering why I have to do this… And I get really angry…”
Her atmosphere suddenly drops, as if she was the kind of kid who was running around just before.
Watching her depressed feelings bloom next to her, I broke the vicious circle of idle thoughts by asking the child a question.
“Do you hate your uncle?”
“Can I be honest with you?”
“Yes.”
“I hate you. Why can’t you be satisfied with just me and want to touch other women too? But…”
Offer her car to one side and listen to the child.
In response to my actions, the fox also looks straight at me and continues to speak.
“I couldn’t give up. I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days, but I can’t give up on you. So, there’s something I really want to ask you.”
“Tell me.”
“If you get old and quit this job, can you choose me then?”
I pondered for a moment and asked again.
“Is this a promise you must keep?”
He will, too, because if it becomes a promise that must be kept, this child can create a situation that will cause me to quit my job.
An obsessed woman is such a being.
“No… It’s not. It’s just a hope. The hope that I can live with it… That one day I might actually have the future I dream of in my head.”
The moment I heard that story, Ling-Ling came to mind.
After following her teacher for a long time and suffering all kinds of humiliation, she became a woman who started to break down little by little recently.
The reason why that strong Ling-Ling started to crumble was because she was anxious that the future she had dreamed of might not come.
I unfastened the passenger seat belt and pulled the fox in.
Then she hugged her and said.
“Then I will choose you.”
“Ugh… Thank you, mister. No, I love you…!”
“Yes. Yes.”
Not knowing the future, we are always anxious.
How to live in the future What to do.
That’s why there must be hope for us who live in the present.
So is love.
