Chapter 375 – #56. The Tiger in the Tiger’s Den (7)
“… Hyeon-oh is sleeping.”
Newly- Newly-
It was only after we had finished feeding Hyun-oh that we were also filling our hungry stomachs while taking a breather.
Before I had a drink, I had opened my eyes clearly, but before I knew it, Hyeon-oh drooled and fell asleep cutely.
Thanks to that, I was able to eat comfortably.
However, if you don’t wake up after eating, it will be difficult to watch more.
Isn’t it important for your child to rest?
“Shall we finish eating and go home?”
“… Are you talking already?”
I hinted at going home, but Choi Kwan was surprisingly disappointed.
“Well, isn’t the day too nice to go in like this?”
She made Hyun-oh an excuse, but neither she nor I knew that this moment was a date.
We had been focusing on Hyeon-oh until now, so now we needed time to focus on each other.
“No. Please go back.”
Choi Kwan, who seemed to agree with me, suddenly changed his mind.
I pretended to be bitter at the change of heart that occurred in less than a minute.
“Are you really going back?”
Seeing my expression, Mr. Choi Gwan-ssi said in bewilderment.
“Hasn’t Hyeon-oh been outside for too long? The more people there are, the greater the risk of getting caught.”
It is true that it is not good to leave Hyeon-oh, who is still young, outside for a long time.
But that only applies when Hyeon-oh was an ordinary child.
How much coin did I spend on my children?
Our children were growing up strong without any pain.
He probably falls asleep for a short while and when he wakes up, he will try to play vigorously again.
“I guess I’m the only one who regrets it.”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t it too sad to go back like this? I haven’t lost yet, and I haven’t been able to play properly because I’m taking care of Hyun-oh. Maybe Hyeon-oh will try to play bravely again when he wakes up after a short nap.”
As if my persuasion had worked, Mr. Choi Kwan kept his mouth shut.
“I’ve had a lot of flower viewing, so let’s go do something else.”
“If anything else… ?”
“Well. What would be good I came to see Hyun-oh for flower viewing, so I think it would be nice to go do something that Mr. Gwan-i wants to do now. Is there anything you want to do?”
“Doesn’t exist.”
“It’s such a nice day, but you really don’t have anything you want to do?”
“… The only thing I do most of the time is work out at the gym or go swimming.”
“It must be difficult to swim with Hyeon-oh.”
I wish Hyeon-oh was a bit older, but I couldn’t take him to the pool right now.
“Then shall we go for a drive until Hyeon-oh sleeps? Destination…”
He pondered for a moment, then realized that Hyeon-oh had never seen the sea before and said.
“To the sea. Hyeon-oh has never been to the sea yet.”
“Then we will move there.”
Going for a drive is not a bad date.
After eating all the food, I packed my things and got into the car and ran pretty excitedly.
When the time came for the sea to come out, Hyeon-o woke up, and Choi Gwan-ssi wrapped him up in a blanket as he was fascinated by the sea he was seeing for the first time.
Hyeon-oh is careful not to catch a cold.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s a baby or because Hyeon-oh is special, but he’s a very indifferent person to others, so I thought he would do the same to Hyeon-oh, but seeing him take care of the child makes me feel good.
The effect of the date we had until Hyun-oh today was visible.
“The sea is amazing, Hyeon-oh. How is it?”
The sea that Hyeon-oh saw for the first time since he was born.
Hyeon-oh, still curious about everything in the world, was excited to see the sea.
“I can’t go in because I’m too young. You have to see it with your own eyes.”
“Here are clams.”
Mr. Choi brought a pretty unbroken seashell from somewhere.
Seeing a clam the size of his own face, Hyeon-oh widened his eyes and stretched out his hand.
Choi Kwan, as if in trouble, slightly dropped his clam from Hyeon-oh.
“I washed it with sea water, but it was dirty. Because it was on the floor. Don’t touch, just look with your eyes.”
“Cadet!”
Hyeon-oh continued to reach out to Choi Gwan.
‘We’ve become really close.’
It wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid of Choi Kwan-sshi, but he seemed to like him now.
I received the clams from Mr. Choi and handed over Hyeon-oh, who was holding me, to Mr. Choi.
“Look at me with your back to the sea. I will take a picture for you.”
Mr. Choi Kwan did not reject my proposal and stood with Hyeon-oh.
The sun was setting just in time, so a good picture came out.
“It definitely seems to work.”
I couldn’t say it was okay when Mr. Choi said that I shouldn’t be exposed to the sea breeze for too long, so I took a seat at a cafe with a bright view of the sea.
“I’ll call you in a minute and come back.”
I was still constantly sending photos to Yeonjoo, but Yeonjoo noona contacted me as if she was surprised to see pictures of the sea.
“Yes, please come.”
I left Hyeon-oh with Gwan-i and moved to the bathroom.
“Yes, sister.”
– Did you go to the sea?
“Yes. It’s sunny, so it’s warm near the beach.”
– My mind is complicated. I’ve never thought of it like this…
My sister’s voice was a bit subdued.
I wondered if it was possible.
“Sister, are you jealous?”
– I’m embarrassed too because I didn’t think I would be like this.
Haha! Oh my God, seeing my sister jealous after living here makes me very proud, right?”
-Hyun-oh, it’s the first time you’ve seen the sea. I feel like I’ve lost my seat because he’s there, not me.
From the moment I met Yeon Yeon-nim, she was the one who calmly said that she would not care about meeting other women.
Is that all?
He was the one who openly said that work was more important than me.
He said he wouldn’t see me often because he had to work, and he did.
To think Yeon Joon-nim was jealous.
I knew that Hyeon-oh had changed a lot, but I didn’t know it would be this much.
“It wasn’t taken away, but one more person gave it to Hyeon-oh. If you wish, you can go on a trip to the sea anytime.”
– How is Kwan-i? Do you do as you please?
“Yes. He said he was very cute. You two became very close.”
-It’s the most amazing thing I’ve heard this year. That he became friends with the boy
After appeasing Yeon Joo, who shows such uncommon jealousy, I went back to the cafe.
“What?”
People’s eyes were fixed on where I was sitting, where Mr. Choi and Hyun-oh would be sitting.
‘Oops!’
People wondered why, but belatedly understood the situation.
Didn’t I leave my seat to answer the phone wearing glasses that let me escape from the gaze of the people around me?
It was only natural that Choi Kwan and Hyeon-oh, who had been left behind, would be exposed.
And the power created by the combination of cute and pretty Hyeon-oh and Mr. Choi took over the cafe.
A large part of the power was, of course, Hyun Oh.
‘Even my glasses wouldn’t work if I got this much attention.’
Jumping among people with the glasses effect gone?
My identity will soon be revealed.
Unaware of his father’s heart, Hyeon-oh was laughing, wondering if people’s interest was good.
Screams came out of that laugh from all sides, and aww~ cute~! Praise pours in.
It was at that moment that Choi Kwan’s expression changed from calmly observing the situation around him.
“Unpleasant gaze, please return it.”
“How did your mother give birth to you so beautifully? I really envy you.”
People around her still spat out compliments toward Hyeon-oh, as if her words were not properly heard due to the conversations of the people around her.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a pretty baby.”
“I mean.”
“The child is so sweet! Be cute see you smile I want to become a celebrity when I grow up.”
“Under…”
I don’t think the people around me heard it, but I could definitely hear the sound of Choi Gwan’s patience breaking.
I pulled my hat on a little tighter.
And she put on her mask, which she had unknowingly brought, and dug through her people just as she hardened her face and opened her mouth.
“Please step out of the way. I will pass.”
“Oh! If you just dig like this for a second… Omg!”
“Oh?!”
“Suck!”
People’s eyes are pouring towards me who suddenly intruded.
It was best to avoid the seat before they realized my identity, so I lifted Hyeon-oh and carefully held Choi Gwan-ssi’s hand.
“I’m leaving.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Choi Kwan was also displeased with the gaze of the people around her, so she obediently left her seat and got up.
Malevolent malevolent-
“Could it be the baby’s father?”
“I thought the baby was pretty, but it must have been because he resembled the father.”
“Aren’t you a celebrity? The atmosphere is different…”
“Oh, a celebrity? Really? Who is it? I couldn’t see her because her face was covered.”
“Anyway, why are you leaving all of a sudden? Could it be because of us?”
“It might be unpleasant because there are a lot of women, but it’s a man. Anyway, I really envy you. I have a pretty baby, but I also have a husband…”
With my daughter-
The shop door opened and we went outside and walked away from the shop.
“I’ve been away for a while. What’s going on? Wasn’t Kwan-yi really embarrassed too?”
“No. Rather, I was glad that he was away. If it had been a commotion like that, I would have been exposed.”
“Until now, no one cared about us, so we were at ease. How did that happen?”
I knew the reason, but pretended not to know.
“… Well. I do not know. Soon after the brother-in-law left, people began to stare at Hyeon-oh. Then the situation was created when one of the women there said, “The child is really pretty.” They were rude, but I understood them. Hyeon-oh smiled so cutely at that time.”
“Haha, Hyun-oh is a smiling angel.”
He speaks as if he is saying the most nonchalant words in the world, but the content is indistinct.
As a father, I can’t do my job, but Hyeon-oh has done everything he has to do.
Didn’t he not only become very close with Mr. Choi, who was unfamiliar with him, but also make him out of arms?
“Spending time together definitely pays off. I got really close with Hyun-oh.”
“… I mean?”
Hearing my words, Mr. Choi stopped his steps abruptly.
It was as if he was remembering what he had said.
“Ah…”
It was a bullet with many meanings.
I couldn’t hold back my laughter and said with a smile.
“It was nice to see. Hyeon-oh also seems to have become much more comfortable with Gwan-i. But since the two of them are getting so close, I get a little jealous. Won’t you get along with me?”
“Are you talking to me?”
Choi Gwan must have thought that this meeting was just to make him get closer with Hyeon-oh.
“As much as you became friends with Hyeon-oh, you should become friends with me too.”
I hope that her smiley smile on my face will go well with her.
Since there is a precedent that Hyeon-oh bewitched Mr. Choi with his smile, I wondered if my smile would work as well.
At that time, Mr. Choi Gwan said something unexpected.
“Even if you don’t do this, I will do anything for Hyeon-oh. So you don’t even have to make that effort. Nothing will change my attitude.”
She must have noticed my plan at once.
She couldn’t shamelessly say no to the fact that she already knew everything, so she pretended not to be surprised and calmly managed her expression.
“I can’t say no. It’s true that I want to become friends because of Hyeon-oh. But it wasn’t a calculated statement like Kwan-i thought. How can I explain this…? Um, isn’t Kwan-i the kind of person who would do anything for my child? If Hyeon-oh is in danger, he will protect him, and if Hyeon-oh gets hurt, he will be upset and worried. That’s why I want to get to know you.”
“…Sorry. I don’t understand.”
“How many people in the world can you truly trust? Originally, cheating is about being victimized by someone close to you. In that respect, Mr. Choi is a person I can completely trust, so I want to be close to him. I love and protect my children, but from a parent’s point of view, of course, they want to look good.”
When my child goes to school, parents want to look good even to the class teacher in charge.
However, Choi Kwan said, “She is a godmother who is more important than a school teacher.
It’s only natural to want to be friends.
After hearing my explanation, Mr. Choi Kwan was deep in thought.
It seemed that I was persuaded by what I said.
I looked into her eyes with her sincerity for the last time and said.
“So please don’t be too suspicious. She’s a grateful person, so it’s only natural that she wants to get close.”
