Chapter 74 – A Delighted Daughter and a Pleading Mother
[I know now.]
[You mean the culprit’s method?]
[Okay. The culprit used an electric fan near the sleeping victim.]
[Fan? Right! After directing it to the face, leave it on all night to suffocate!]
[No. The side the fan is facing is the stomach, not the face.]
[Bae? But that wouldn’t induce suffocation…]
[The culprit was aiming for stomach pain, not suffocation. To do that, I took one more action besides turning on the fan.]
[Colic? No way, a blanket?]
[Okay! The culprit killed the victim by removing the blanket without the knowledge of the victim who was asleep after eating ice cream, causing her stomach to hurt!]
[How could you do such a vicious thing… ! Okay, now that it’s all out, it’s only a matter of time before we put him in a cell!]
… What am I watching?
I’m watching a movie with Ha-eun on the beam projector in my room, but the content really sucks.
When I was thinking about her because I couldn’t concentrate, Ha-eun, who was hugging me while lying on the bed together, stroked my chest.
He can’t seem to concentrate either.
Or did you want to do it because you were stuck?
Thinking of that, I turned her head to the side, and Ha-eun, far from excited, was looking at my breasts with a curious expression.
“Your brother is a guy, but why is Chichi so tall?”
“Huh? It’s because I usually exercise, right?”
But it’s not at all like a bodybuilder’s, but it seems strange that Ha-eun’s male breasts are slightly convex in her eyes.
“Aha. Did your cock get bigger because of exercise?”
At the same time as asking a question, he fiddled with his cock.
“It was like that before working out.”
“Glcunaa.”
Then, she slowly takes her hands away and focuses on the movie again.
… What. Is this the end? Did I get an erection?
I thought for a moment, but she didn’t really have the heart to attack Ha-eun.
Because there was something I was worried about earlier.
The reason I couldn’t focus on the movie was because the content wasn’t interesting, but that was a bigger reason.
… I wonder if Jia is talking well.
Before Ha-eun came to my room to play, she called Jia.
She said that for some reason, her mother called to eat her food.
She was so nervous that she didn’t know what to do, so she said it would be okay and cheered her on, but she kept worrying about what would have happened.
[I finally caught him! After all, you are the queen of reasoning.]
[This much fuss. And if you need help, contact me anytime. Partner.]
Finally, the movie that didn’t even feel like a joke is over.
“Oops! Oppa, was it fun?”
Asked Ha-eun, who got up from her bed and stretched her.
“Huh? Uh… Jae, it was fun.”
“I hope the second episode comes out soon. I’ll go to the bathroom for a while!”
“Huh.”
It wasn’t long before she went into the bathroom and her room became quiet.
I heard the sound of a door lock beeping, and Jia came in through the open door.
“Mr. Dohyun!”
“Jia? Billion!”
As soon as she sees me, she jumps into her bed and hugs me.
Once I asked her as I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and hugged her.
“How was it? Did you meet well?”
“Huh, huh… Mr. Dohyeon…”
Did it not work out when I saw you crying?
As soon as I silently patted her regretful heart, I heard her unexpectedly bright voice.
“I reconciled with my mother… She said that she was sorry for me all this time… She decided to contact me often from now on.”
“Really? Ha, it’s fortunate. I was surprised to know what was going on when he suddenly cried.”
“I’m sorry. I was so happy… I kept holding it in, but when I saw Dohyeon’s face, I think I was moved.”
Jia raised her head and asked while wiping her tears with a smile.
“Come to think of it, what about Haeun? Weren’t you together?”
“Oh, now in the bathroom…”
While answering, the bathroom door opened and Ha-eun came out and was surprised to see Jia’s face.
“Jia unnie, why are you crying? Did oppa play a joke?!”
“No, Ha Eun-ah… I did it because I was so happy.”
“Why? Did something good happen?”
As she tried to answer the question, Jia shut her mouth as if she was sorry.
She had told Ha-eun before about not getting along with her mother, but she hadn’t told her that they were supposed to meet today.
To Ha-eun, who had been estranged from her parents unexpectedly, her story that she had reconciled with her mother, who had been estranged from her, seemed difficult for her to bring up.
“What is it? Please tell me too!”
“Oh, no. It’s just nothing…”
“Can you tell me if it’s not a big deal? I’m just curious.”
If left as it is, Ha-eun’s complaints will never end.
When I was about to stop it, her Jia reluctantly opened her mouth.
“That is…”
—
“You said you reconciled with your mother? What should I do? Congratulations, sister!”
Contrary to our worries about her, Ha-eun is delighted with her work.
Jia had a bewildered face at the unexpected reaction.
“Thank you.”
“It’s a good day, so let’s eat something delicious to commemorate it! I’ll buy it for you!”
“No, it’s okay. Thank you, but I came after dinner…”
“Then I’ll buy popcorn from the convenience store so the three of us can watch a movie! Can we have some popcorn?”
“Yep.”
“I’ll be back soon, so wait a little bit!”
Ha-eun, who was excited while running around her room, quickly left her room.
“It’s really good. You said you decided to contact me often in the future?”
Jia nodded brightly.
“Yes. It’s still a bit awkward…”
“It’ll get 120009.”
Jia recounted a conversation she had with her mother.
The conversation also included the reason Cha Seon-yeong distanced herself from Jia.
Of course what her father had done, and that he was no longer of this world.
“Hearing that, I thought that my mother must have had a hard time in her own way.”
“I see. That… My father passed away…”
“It’s okay. I wonder if it’s okay to do this, but maybe it’s because I’ve never seen it since I was born, so I just don’t think about it. Am I being too heartless?”
“No, not at all. Even if you care, nothing will change. Just take it easy.”
“Yes I will.”
After a while, Ha-eun returned with her popcorn in her arms.
That’s how the three of us came to watch the movie, and luckily it was much more fun than the movie we watched earlier.
—
The next evening.
I returned to the luxurious apartment I had visited two days ago.
And I sat down with her again at the same table in the living room where I had talked to Cha Seon-young.
“I heard from Jia. The two of them reconciled.”
“Rather than reconciliation… I just apologized and the child accepted.”
Cha Seon-yeong’s expression was dark.
As if she hadn’t cleared her guilt about her daughter yet.
“Still, Jia was very happy. She said that from now on, she would be able to get along well with her mother.”
“Okay…”
The other person’s atmosphere has subsided a lot more than I thought, so it’s hard to say anything.
As she waited quietly, her low voice was heard.
“Thank you. For helping us.”
“No. I just wanted Jia to be happy.”
“I… I’m sorry I hit you.”
“When?”
“You slapped me on the face when we first met…”
“Ah. It’s okay. Never mind.”
It was unpleasant at the time, but looking back now, I’ve done worse than that a few times.
You should forget about one cheek.
“…I thought Jia was the one who made my hatred for my baby daddy grow, but I don’t think so. Rather, I think I can forget those bad feelings with Jia.”
“It’s nice. Come to think of it, are you going to tell people that you have a daughter? Or will you hide it?”
“I thought it was right to reveal it, but the kid said let’s not do it. He said he didn’t want me to get into trouble.”
“It’s like Jia.”
“She was such a good kid… I’m glad her personality doesn’t resemble her mother’s.”
She thinks again, whether she recalls the conversation she had with Jia.
Now was the time to speak from my side.
About why I came here.
“It’s a promise I made the day before yesterday.”
“…Huh.”
“Can I not keep that? I’m sorry that I did it with another woman without Jia’s knowledge.”
Of course, she has had a lot of relationships with Cha Sun-young so far.
But that’s when she does the favor of her goddess.
To meet privately like this, even intermingle with her lover’s mother, honestly didn’t feel right.
Even so, she cheated on Cha Seon-young to reconcile with Jia, but she felt uncomfortable.
She couldn’t make her decision until it was finally right in front of her nose, so she was making such indecisive noises.
It would be 120009 if she could tell her Jia honestly, but she couldn’t because it was also a request of her goddess not to inform her.
“What?”
“It’s a bit strange to say, but maybe the goddess will call us again someday. At that time, we have no choice but to do it, so if you want to do it then do it…”
“…No.”
A short, concise answer.
Then she got up from her chair and came over to me.
“Your attitude caused me to change my mind. I didn’t go to see Jia because I wanted to be hugged by you. But keep her promise. Please.”
“I still have Jia…”
“I know this isn’t right. But I just can’t stand it. I can’t sleep properly for days because I think about your body… I think I’ll really go crazy from loneliness if I stay longer.”
“…”
“Please. I won’t say a word to Jia.
She implores me, holding my hand with her two hands.
She still feels sorry for Jia, but her heart weakens when she sees Cha Seon-yeong abandoning her pride.
After worrying about her end, I couldn’t put her down in the end.
“All right.”
At this point, let’s make sure you’re satisfied so you don’t think of it twice.
With that in mind, I stood up from my chair.
