Chapter 913 – 913. Homecoming (3)
“Yes? What do you mean by that? “My son is coming?”
[Yes. I’ll be there sometime next week.]
“I haven’t heard anything from my son… “How did you know, Hyunseong?”
[Actually, I came to Seoul recently because of work. So, I’m on my way to see Hyun’s face as well.]
“Oh, I see.”
Eun Yeon-hwa recalled the story of Joo Hyeon-seong, who had recently said that she thought she should go up to Seoul sometime.
Eunhyun had finished her semester at university, so it was natural that she would come down, but she felt quite disappointed, perhaps because she had said that it would be difficult for her to come down this winter since she would start her part-time job right away.
But he suddenly came down, did something happen?
She didn’t take it seriously, but it still bothered her.
[Mr. Yeonhwa.]
“Yes?”
While Eun-yeon was immersed in her thoughts without saying anything on the phone, Joo Hyun-seong spoke to her through her smartphone.
[Hyun will take the customer.]
“Are you a guest?”
[Yes. However…]
“So?”
[Please don’t be too angry.]
“… Yes?”
◆ ◆ ◆
I didn’t expect there to be four guests instead of just one.
And it was also true that the four guests were all women who would become his son’s wives.
When she first heard the story, Eun Yeon-hwa couldn’t say anything.
The thoughts in her mind stopped and she felt as if she had been stabbed in the back of the head.
She belatedly came to her senses and gulped down some cold water to calm her startled stomach.
Coo!
She unknowingly slammed her cup down on the table, making Eunhyun and the other four women flinch.
“Therefore…”
“Uh, mom… ?”
Eun Yeon-hwa asked with a smile.
“Who did the girls behind you say they were?”
“…”
Eunhyeon could not say anything in response to Eunyeonhwa’s question once again.
This is because she felt an unusual current from Eun Yeon-hwa’s expression.
She felt a pressure sharper and heavier than living in some sense, as if she would never let her go if she used her mouth incorrectly.
“Son.”
“Uh, huh?”
Perhaps it was because Eun-hyeon could not say anything, but Eun-yeon-hwa held back and asked once again.
He was a son who never hurt his feelings, not only when he was young but also as an adult, and it didn’t hurt even when he put it in his eyes.
Eun Yeon-hwa could bear it.
“Mom, I don’t think I heard you properly yet. “Can you explain it to me again?”
“Well, that…” .”
Maybe it was because she was shaking and couldn’t open her mouth properly, but on Eunhyeon’s behalf, a woman who was quietly watching her behind her carefully opened her mouth.
“We…”
Eleanor, a woman with bright blonde hair and full of elegance, opened her mouth and tried to tell her story, but Eun Yeon-hwa immediately cut her off.
“Could you please be quiet for a little bit?”
“…”
“I’m talking to my son right now.”
“Yes yes…”
Eleanor sank without much gain.
She quietly lowered her head and began to quietly observe her.
“Son.”
“… Huh.”
“Who are the ladies behind you? “Can you explain it to me again?”
“… “They say they are the people who will marry me later.”
“Marriage? With who? “Who among them?”
Eun Yeon-hwa had already heard everything from the beginning.
But the reason I’m asking about it again is because the content was so shocking that I couldn’t believe it.
“That… All four of these people…”
“Under…”
Eun Yeon-hwa could not help but laugh as if it was absurd.
Because she confirmed that she had not misheard.
The fact that he was marrying not one, but multiple, even four women at the same time, and that it was his own son and no one else.
Does this really make sense?
She was dumbfounded and asked Eunhyeon.
“My son…” . “I didn’t know you were this popular with women?”
“…”
Eunhyeon lowered her head as if she had nothing to say.
She also never imagined that she would end up in a promiscuous relationship with the opposite sex.
Ding! Dong!
There was an awkward silence between Eun Yeon-hwa, Eun-hyeon, and her four wives, who looked very disappointed.
Someone rang the doorbell and announced their visit.
“… Wait a minute.”
Eun Yeon-hwa immediately opened the door and checked on her guest.
She was a woman I had never seen before.
She is a woman with impressive red short hair.
But she looked familiar somehow.
Eun Yeon-hwa narrowed her eyes and gave her a wary look.
Already, the woman who would become her son’s wife had already been visited by four women at her home, but the mere appearance of another woman was enough to arouse her suspicions.
“… Who are you?”
With a very wary expression on her face, she asked her visiting guest, and she smiled awkwardly and gave her greeting.
“Ah, um… Hello. Madame?”
“… “Do you know me?”
Although her attitude was somewhat awkward, it was as if she knew Eun Yeon-hwa for some reason.
“I… It’s Hong. Scarlet.”
“Scarlet? Hongi?”
“Yes.”
Eun Yeon-hwa was surprised.
Because she was so different from the Scarlet she knew.
That’s right, the Joo Hong that Eun Yeon-hwa knows is Joo Hyeon-seong’s young daughter. She was a child who had not even entered elementary school yet.
“… “You’re Hong?”
“Hmm… If I were to explain the situation, it’s a bit complicated. “Can I go inside first?”
“Uh, yes. Okay.”
Although Eun Yeon-hwa was quite embarrassed, she let Joo-hong into her house.
She was embarrassed because there were so many things she did not understand, as to why a 6-year-old girl who had not even entered elementary school had turned into a mature woman in her early 20s.
But since she was somehow unfamiliar to me, it wasn’t a good idea to just leave her outside her house.
After receiving Eun Yeon Hwa’s permission, Erin found Joo Hong entering her house.
“Oh, Hong. “What’s going on here?”
Eunhyun and Erin, who were the closest of the four women, asked in confusion.
“… I’m here to help with the explanation. “I think it’s going to be hard at best.”
Joo Hong glanced over at the table to check the atmosphere.
Looking at the expressions of Eunhyun and the other women, it seemed that the atmosphere was not that good as expected.
“Help? How?”
“Madame.”
Zhu Hong acted directly before explaining in words.
“Uh. Huh?”
Eun Yeon-hwa was confused as she did not know how to deal with Joo-hong, who had grown to maturity.
Taking advantage of her confusion, Juhong broke through head-on.
“I am from the future.”
“… Uh?”
“To be exact, I came here from 15 years in the future.”
“…”
Eun Yeon-hwa looked blank.
She didn’t really understand what Joo Hong was talking about.
Joo Hong continued to explain why she came here.
He explains that this dream world, which was created based on Eun-hyeon’s memories and experiences in reality, is the ‘past’, and that he and Eun-hyeon’s wives also came to this place, the past, from the future.
“Such nonsense…” .”
Eun Yeon-hwa was confused and could not continue her words.
Who can believe the nonsense that she has crossed time and returned to the past?
In this regard, Joo-hong thought that the most effective way would be to help her.
In fact, she knew that the most effective way was for people close to her to experience it and tell their stories.
So, even though she was denying it by saying that Eun Yeon-hwa was nonsense, she was unable to completely deny it.
In fact, Joo-hong, who looked like she did when she was 7 years old, appeared in front of her at the age of 22, so even if she wanted to deny it, she couldn’t.
“Ha…”
After thinking for a long time, Eun Yeon-hwa sighed.
Eventually she shifted her gaze to the four women sitting behind him.
Eunhyeon’s wives looked a little nervous and met Eunyeonhwa’s gaze.
Heavy gaze swept over my entire body, as if I was being evaluated by a high-ranking superior.
“…”
Erin found herself more nervous than anyone she had ever met.
‘Oh, my God… They’re staring at us…’
I instinctively read Eun Yeon-hwa’s emotions.
Every time she caught her gaze, full of wariness and suspicion, her entire body stiffened.
“Son.”
“Uh… ?”
“Would you mind going to the grocery store for a moment?”
“B-but…”
“Please. “There is very little to drink at her house, so there is no point in serving her guests.”
“…”
Eunhyeon hesitated.
At this exact timing, it was obvious that she meant to get him out of her house.
What on earth would she and her mother talk about in a place where she is not there?
Although that really bothered me.
“Son?”
“Brother. “Let’s go out.”
“… Okay.”
Eunhyeon couldn’t help but nod her head at Eun Yeonhwa’s call.
There was no time for him to feel uncomfortable that Joo Hong, who was a year older than him, called him ‘oppa’.
When Joo-hong takes Eun-hyeon to do her grocery shopping and disappears, only Eun Yeon-hwa and the four women remain in her household.
Only after Eun-hyeon disappeared did Eun-yeon-hwa proceed with her story again.
“Therefore… “All four of you will marry our son in the future.”
“Yes.”
Illyana, the highest ranking among her wives, spoke on her behalf.
“… “Four at the same time?”
“Yes.”
“Are you having children too?”
“I already gave birth to a beautiful daughter.”
“Haaa…”
Illyana’s unhesitating answer made her secretly angry and she sighed.
“… Do you know how promiscuous and unsocial that is?”
“It will look that way. But… “I don’t regret what happened.”
She is married to not one, but four people at the same time and lives in the same house.
Is there anything else as strange as this?
Although it may not be known abroad, it was a story that could not be accepted in ordinary Korean families.
What’s more, it’s his own son who’s at the center of the violence.
I couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s natural for you to be worried. But there wasn’t that big of a problem between Hyeon and us.”
“… “There wasn’t one?”
“Hyeonja is awkward with us now, but in the future when we had a relationship, everyone accepted us.”
“…”
Eun Yeon-hwa and Illyana looked at each other without saying anything.
“Whatever anyone says, I don’t care. Just Hyun… And that’s all you need. “Hyeonnie needed it too.”
So, Iliana did not hesitate to allow Eleanor, Lily, and Erin to close the distance to Eunhyeon.
“It was necessary…”
Eun Yeon-hwa caught one of the words Illyana said in particular.
Why? Why?
Why did she have to tolerate and accept the man she loved having another woman besides her?
Her impression of Illyana, who was implicitly angry, did not seem good, even if it was empty words.
For some reason, she was reluctant to be contacted by people, giving off an aura that told people not to approach.
She was a woman who put up walls and measured her distance, refusing to allow intimacy with anyone except those she approved of.
She Eun Yeon-hwa did not show such an attitude towards herself, but her human nature and habits were bound to be revealed in her daily actions and attitudes.
‘That kind of woman…’
She smiled slightly and had a warm expression on her face when she talked about her son, Eunhyeon.
She is not a woman who is bothered to deal with people and hits a wall, but the face of a woman who loves someone passionately.
It didn’t take long for Illyana to realize that she really loved her son.
“Do you know how hard it is to raise a child?”
“Sure. “Because we are actually raising them.”
“It’s not just a matter of being able to survive with something like love.”
Raising a baby means that you have to spend a lot of time pouring a lot of effort and love into the baby, and the money that goes into it is by no means a small number.
“I know. Eleanor.”
“Yes. Lady Illyana.”
When Illyana made a small gesture, she responded as if Eleanoa had been waiting.
Eleanor took out her bundle of blunt papers from the small briefcase she had brought with her.
The sheaf of paper, neatly organized and tied with a knot, was enormous, like a PPT report prepared to explain a business.
“Could you please read this?”
“… What is this?”
Eun Yeon-hwa accepted the bundle of documents handed out by Eleanor with a strange look on her face.
Seeing Eun Yeon-hwa’s face with a doubtful expression, Eleanor began her explanation as if she had been waiting.
“It’s a plan that designs our future and that person’s future.”
“… A plan?”
Eun Yeon-hwa carefully read the first page of the plan as if fascinated by Eleanor’s words.
Eleanor added an explanation.
“First of all, we have prepared our own home. Considering the income that I, Illyana, Lily, and Erin will receive if they start working…”
Eun-hyeon’s wives were unfamiliar with this life that had entered Eun-hyeon’s dreams as a joke, but they managed to get used to it and had fun with it, and they wanted to cherish this life.
Since no one knows how long this dream will last until Eunhyeon’s training is over, it was a moment when Eleanor’s plan, which she had prepared in advance just in case, shined.
Just looking at the size of the plan, which included everything from the house and marriage, to the occupations and incomes of the four wives, to how many children they wanted to have, and even the smallest details, it was over 20 pages long.
“Well, you don’t have to go this far…”
Rather, Eunhyeon’s mother, Eunyeonhwa, felt burdened by her excessive preparation.
Eleanor’s persuasion, which was reminiscent of her business briefing held in front of the CEO of a large company, made her feel embarrassed and waved her hand.
“Mother.”
Eleanor smiled as she held the hand of Eun Yeon-hwa, who was waving her hand.
“I won’t put a drop of water on that person’s hands. He won’t give you trouble. She will be nice to her mother too. “We can live really happily.”
It didn’t matter if Eunhyun didn’t have to work.
Because if they feed themselves, that’s enough.
After that, Illyana accepted Eleanoa’s words and helped.
“So, can’t you give us your son?”
