Chapter 1130 – Ji-Heon Is a Bachelor. Before It’s Too Late, Let Taeyeon Go.
The preparation that Minah mentioned was just setting up clothes and doing makeup. She and her wives decided to wait at home with Yena, and Taeyeon and I headed to the café we had promised with nervousness in our hearts.
“… “Did a place like this actually exist?”
“It’s my mom’s regular restaurant?”
“But I’ve only seen places like this in dramas or movies.”
The place my grandmother asked me to see was closer to a coffee shop than a café. As soon as I entered the door next to the store on the first floor, I was a little confused because I saw a staircase right away.
“Did you really say you wanted to meet me here?”
“Seriously, dude. Come quickly.”
Ttogak ttogak ttogak
Taeyeon, neatly dressed in Minah’s clothes, walked up, making the sound of high heels. Every time that happened, her voluptuous buttocks twitched, showing their outline beyond her skirt.
“Where are you looking, you crazy bastard?”
“What should I do with what I see?”
“At least close your eyes. “Is this none of my business?”
Taeyeon seemed just as nervous as me. Even though she was going to see her mother, she seemed more nervous than usual.
“Whoa… !”
Taeyeon, who had gone up first, arrived at the entrance to the café. She let out a nervous sigh as she watched me come up.
“… Hey.”
She was silent for a moment, then she smiled and spoke jokingly.
“Don’t say unnecessary things to Mom?”
“Of course.”
“Fuck, I fucking can’t believe it.”
“Oh, kinda.”
“Stop whining. Because it’s disgusting.”
Now that we’re lightly bickering, the tension has disappeared. But as silence came again, a heavy atmosphere weighed down her shoulders.
“… Let’s go.”
Rattle!
Taeyeon, who was silent again, opened the door and went in first. I also hurried along before the door with the tinkling bell closed.
“Welcome.”
As she heard the woman’s slightly weak voice, the interior of the café she had only seen on TV came into view. A sofa made of cheap artificial leather. Arrangement of tables close together so that backrests can be shared.
“Uh. Here.”
In one such coffee shop, her grandmother raised her hand and called us. She usually greeted me warmly and called me Jiheon Bachelor, but now she had a serious expression without a trace of laughter.
“Mom. What about ours?”
“Hello.”
Taeyeon asked casually as she sat across from her grandmother, and only after bowing her head did I sit side by side with Taeyeon. Her grandmother looked at us with a serious gaze and then raised her hand.
“Here, give me two cups of coffee.”
“Yes, just a moment~”
The lady at the counter went inside without even asking what kind of coffee she had. She looked at the sight, a little puzzled, but immediately looked away as her grandmother opened her mouth.
“Hey, bachelor Jiheon.”
“Yes, mother.”
“What do you think, our Taeyeon?”
“I love you.”
“Do you want to rummage?”
Without any time to think, Taeyeon rolled her eyes and raised her fist without her grandmother’s knowledge, even though she couldn’t praise her immediate answer.
“Hehe.”
At this time, her grandmother laughed softly. She then raised her wrinkled hands on the table and asked a shocking question.
“If you love someone, you should know that you have to let them go, right? “What if I really love you?”
“Yes? No, yes?”
“Mom. Oh, really… !”
Her heart was shaking as she was embarrassed by the words telling her to let go and break up. Taeyeon next to her said it was nonsense, and she was dumbfounded.
“Mom. “I’m getting married,”
“I’m talking right now.”
“… Tsk.”
Taeyeon, seeing her serious expression, said no more. She just looked away with her lips pouted like a sulky child.
“Bachelor Jiheon.”
Her grandmother called me in a kind voice once more. Yena’s grandmother and Taeyeon’s mother told her story gently.
“Do you know how old Taeyeon is now?”
“Yes. “I’m 36 now.”
“At 36, you’re in your mid-30s, right? Also, if you’re in your mid-30s, you’ll soon be in your late 30s, right?”
“Yes, I guess.”
“Bachelor Jiheon. Before it’s too late, please let Taeyeon go.”
“…”
The words that could never be like that rose up in her throat and then stopped. However, because her grandmother did not know her feelings, she remained silent without saying that she knew.
“No, Mom.”
Taeyeon was different from me. She got upset when she told him to let her go and let out a laugh as if she was dumbfounded.
“Mom. Who are you talking about now? Isn’t that what I’m talking about? About mother and daughter? But you’re saying that to him, not me?”
“I’m talking about you guys right now.”
“But why are you only talking to him? Talk to me What, break up with him? No. I don’t want to die. “Absolutely not.”
“That’s why I won’t tell you. Please, listen to me. Have you ever listened to me?”
“Now! I brought him out now! “Because my mom told me to!”
Taeyeon raised her voice first and an argument with her grandmother began. In the midst of this, one of the words I heard earlier touched me deep in my heart.
No. I don’t want to die. Absolutely not.
These were Taeyeon’s inner thoughts when she said, “Break up with me.” She usually grumbled and made a stern expression, but now that she spoke directly, her nervousness subsided.
“Here, two cups of coffee are served.”
As the coffee I ordered earlier came out, the argument between Taeyeon and her grandmother subsided. I said this without missing a moment when everyone was taking a sip of coffee.
“Mother. I’m sorry, but I don’t like it.”
“Then let’s get married.”
“Yes?”
“Marriage, Jiheon bachelor.”
I expected her grandmother to say more. However, when the topic of marriage came up, I just blinked in confusion.
“You said you didn’t want to break up. Then let’s get married.”
Her grandmother forced me to choose between them. If you don’t want to break up, get married. If you don’t want to get married, break up.
“No, Mom. Is marriage easy? Do you just do everything they tell you to do? People?”
After hearing her words like that, Taeyeon opened her eyes and protested.
Of course, it wasn’t like her grandmother had anything to say.
“It’s easy. These days, I don’t care about money or a house, as long as my heart is in the right place. Judging from the fact that Ji-heon won’t break up with you after finding out you have a child, I believe you’re a good husband.”
“Why did Yena come out all of a sudden? “Now.”
“Of course I have to come out. She’s not someone else’s daughter, she’s your daughter. Is there any man in this world these days who would date a woman with a daughter? “Not the bachelor Ji-heon.”
I’m happy to hear that you trust me, but I’m not so happy when I think about what happened last time when I secretly let Taeyeon show it to me.
“Mom. Why do you say that? “You made me show off with a detective from the intelligence department last time?”
Taeyeon happened to bring up that story.
“No… !”
“Mom. Hey, I know. I ran into him once last time when he came out to pick me up. But what kind of bouquet does she bring? “He was completely crazy.”
“Well, Jiheon is a bachelor.”
When Taeyeon mentioned the man who came to the police station where she worked with a bouquet of flowers, her grandmother lost the serious look she had shown so far and looked at me in confusion.
“Bachelor Jiheon. You know how I feel, right? I also know that bachelor Jiheon is a good person, but people around him are talking about it so much. I also had no choice but to do it. “I have no choice.”
“Yes, yes…”
“And since he was also a police officer, I thought he would be a good fit. “I think our Taeyeon will choose Jiheon as a bachelor without even thinking about it,”
“No, Mom. “Stop it.”
Taeyeon stopped the grandmother who was making excuses. She then told us the news that she kept to herself and never told anyone around her.
“Mom. I didn’t say anything until now. “I’m going to marry this guy.”
“What?! But why didn’t you tell me that until now!”
“I did it because I was afraid my mom would get upset! Look now! She gets along fine with us, but her mom called her out on her own! It’s Chuseok!”
“Oh, that was it?”
Her grandmother, who once lost her momentum, continued to struggle. But even then, she asked with sparkling eyes.
“Then, when…” … ?”
“Oh, when I become an adult.”
“No.”
Her grandmother quickly cheered her up. She said, shaking her head just as firmly as when she had given her the choice earlier.
“Absolutely not.”
“No, why! Are you getting married like her mom said? Yena becomes a saint, then?”
“How old will you be when Yena becomes an adult? You will be fifty by then. Fifty! Will you be able to have a child then?”
“Uh! I’m looking into an egg bank these days! That’s how I’ll give birth!”
“If you give birth then, you will be old, baby!”
“These days, Mom. Even if you are old, there is no problem as long as the eggs are healthy. Also, I will quit the police force at that time, so it’s okay.”
“What? Quit the police? This! What if I quit my job as a civil servant? “It’s a lifetime of food!”
“I also made all my plans after that! Before I turned 40, I was promoted to lieutenant and converted to an internal worker! As soon as she turns 50 and settles down, she will retire and open a café!”
“You’re talking like a café! Anyone can get promoted! Anyone can work as an internal worker! “Is it just anyone who opens a café?”
“Mom, why do you say that! She says her daughter is doing it!”
Before I could find the right moment to speak, Taeyeon and her grandmother started arguing again. I thought it would never end if I left it like this, so I shouted without waiting.
“Mother!!!”
“Surprise, asshole!”
“Wow!”
I shouted with all my might and stood up. Then she knelt down in front of her surprised mother and daughter.
“Hey, hey?! What are you doing?!”
“Jiheon is a bachelor?”
“I’m sorry I’m late, Mom.”
Taeyeon didn’t respond to the embarrassed Taeyeon, but looked at her grandmother in front of her. I bowed my head and opened my mouth without a smile, hoping that my sincerity would be conveyed.
“Mother. “Give me your daughter.”
“What crazy bastard?! Hey! You wake up! “Don’t wake up right now!”
Taeyeon also got up from her seat and tried to help me up, but I didn’t give in and looked at her grandmother intensely and continued to ask for her permission.
“I want to do it right now, but I also want to stand by and watch Taeyeon achieve her dreams. Until then, please wait just a little while longer. At that time, even if she doesn’t like Taeyeon, ah! Evil! Marriage! “Ahh!”
Fight! Pak!
“Don’t do it! Don’t do it, asshole! “Don’t do it!”
Since he didn’t listen to me even when I tried to stop him, I started using my fists. If possible, I would have kept asking for permission, but my fist was so spicy that I was busy moaning.
“… Ugh! It’s done!”
Her grandmother sighed and got up from her seat. She looked at us with a pitiful, dumbfounded, or helpless frown on her face, then walked up to the counter and asked.
“By any chance, do you have paper and pen here?”
“Wait a minute. Yes, it’s here.”
“Oh, thank you. “I’ll use it up right away and get it to you.”
Her grandmother said, taking A4 paper and a pen from her counter and putting them on her table.
“Stop fucking shaking and sitting down.”
“Oh, yes.”
“You looked after me later.”
“Stop it. Now, bachelor Jiheon.”
Her grandmother glared at Taeyeon, her face turning red, and held out her paper and pen to me.
“Write.”
“Yes?”
“Write it.”
“What?”
“I heard you’re getting married.”
“Oh, yes. “It was like that.”
I don’t know what I was told to write, but I picked up a pen. Her grandmother spoke to me casually, without using the usual polite language.
“When Yena becomes an adult, she will definitely marry Taeyeon. “That.”
“Yes!”
“Think about it, you idiot!”
Tak!
Even though she was punched in the back of the head by a shocked Taeyeon, she never stopped writing the note.
