Chapter 60 – But It’s Okay to Take Responsibility, Father?
“I hear a lot.”
“Thank you. I will eat well.”
No matter how full it is on a regular home table, there will always be a limit.
No matter how many main dishes there were, I couldn’t exceed five, and it was common to fill the rest with side dishes.
But what if it’s not for normal household use?
What if food is spread all over the table in the party hall, which can only be seen in cartoons?
The problem gets serious.
‘It’s serious, but this is.’
I wanted to show them how to eat happily, but the food was too much.
I thought of it as just saying that I put some effort into being a guest after a long time.
But when I heard that it was set up properly when I said I was going to move the place, I sensed something was wrong.
It is because there is no need to have so many servants to invite one guest.
‘I’m not a regular guest, though.’
I was once again aware of my position.
A first-year cadet who cleared a major case without any loss of life.
Chairman Choi Young-nam guarantees and Lee Min-joon Hunter supports him.
That was me
I should have caught on when reporters called me ‘Hunter’ instead of ‘Cadet’.
This is what Melanie always said about the qualifications of an Awakener.
‘You’re not in a position to be treated like normal.’
I didn’t know if I would have to get used to being treated like this all the time beyond the standard treatment.
Of course, in today’s case, it could have been Sujin’s efforts to prepare the food so splendidly.
However, as of today, I have clearly realized what kind of attitude I should take when I am treated badly in the future.
“Do you want me to spread lobster meat on you?”
“Uh…? Ah… Will you…?”
Sujin was sitting next to me and was restless.
Probably because of the seating arrangement, Sujin and I were seated side by side and Sujin’s parents sat across from each other.
In a way, it seemed like he was unconsciously nervous because it was a position that could look like a meeting.
Sujin was wearing a lace blouse with a white flower pattern.
The combination of her calmly straight black hair and blouse and jean skirt was truly fantastic.
Whenever she was shy, the hem of her skirt would move to show the inside of her thighs.
Perhaps, had it not been for her parents, she might not have reached out right away.
“Our Soojin eats lobsters on her own, but Baektaeyang Hunter is better than that…”
“Honey?”
“Dad?”
“…The lobster is a little… Not coated today… Honey, I’ll apply it too.”
“Thanks.”
The conversation always went this way.
When I take care of Sujin, Sujin smiles brightly and smiles a little.
Seeing that, Yoo Min-hyeok reacts, and his wife and Su-jin always put on the brakes.
If I could see the scenery of such a hearty meal…
‘What am I?’
What memories were you trying to bring out and what landscapes were you trying to come up with?
After being friendly, there was something I had to think about while reacting.
Nothing was reminiscent.
Let’s look at the clear riverside, as if we can’t see anything but me.
My hair is dyed white, and all memories except for ‘me’ are painted in an opaque color.
“Taeyang, are you okay?”
“Yes? Ah… Yes, it’s fine. I must have been moved because it was so delicious.”
“Really? Hehe… I did this…”
This moment of eating right now feels very far away.
Slowly chewing on opaque memories, they bring them to the surface.
‘I’m Lee Tae-ok… And I have a family.’
I had never thought of something so obvious.
These days, his words and actions were not focused on ‘Lee Tae-ok’, but on ‘Baek Tae-yang’.
Obviously, it wasn’t like this until I entered the S-class gate.
Rather, it was a caution not to pay attention to whether or not the creatures made up of combinations of movable type died.
However, in Wonderland, we naturally thought about human casualties.
‘Are memories mixed?’
In Baek Taeyang’s memory, family relationships did not exist.
It could have been unset, or it could have been an orphan.
However, that did not mean that Lee Tae-ok’s family relationship did not exist.
“Your sister is really good at cooking. What is this?”
“Oh, that’s stewed chicken wings in gochujang with basil…”
Try to avoid talking as much as possible and direct the conversation to answer.
The face is not exaggerated, and a subtle smile is nodded.
Accelerate thinking.
〈 Academy Sunae Journal〉 It’s been a month or so since I came in, it’s been an hour.
During that time, memories were already mixed, and events on Earth were not coming to mind.
It’s one of the common cliches in Bing’s novels, but I never thought it would happen to me.
‘Should I write a diary and record it…’
Knowing this didn’t make much of a difference.
If you break the NTL quest and find the next clue, there will be progress.
But what if you have been completely mixed in the novel and equipped with an idea as a character?
What if you really think this is real and don’t even try to escape?
“Wow, this beef is so delicious… What part is it?”
“Oh my God, Hunter Baektaeyang’s taste is very classy. Seeing that he recognizes it right away. This is the insole of the brand ‘Song Hana’.”
“Thank you for letting me know that…”
“You can call me Mama, if you feel comfortable.”
“Yes mother.”
“Yes, son-in-law, I eat a lot.”
“Honey!”
“Mom!”
We were talking while gently changing the subject, but everyone looked at Mother with shocked faces at the unexpected words.
Rather, with a very confident face, my mother said, ‘It’s going to be like that anyway, isn’t it? I made eye contact with everyone with a look that said, “Isn’t it?”
Even Yoo Min-hyeok couldn’t refute it, so Su-jin couldn’t say anything either.
‘It’s a big deal’
I was faced with a very difficult situation.
If you openly refuse here, the atmosphere is strangely twisted.
If you nod your head in agreement, you could suddenly become officially dating.
The total number of women he had to have relations with right away, yesterday’s count, was seven.
In this situation, the problem becomes serious if the nose is suddenly pinched.
I had to come up with an answer that didn’t hurt my feelings while walking halfway.
‘It’s not normal.’
Minhyuk Yoo’s invitation to dinner may have been a simple bait.
I thought there was a separate final black curtain.
The atmosphere becomes strange when the silence is prolonged.
“I still think I’m not qualified.”
Honestly, it’s hard to think of this as the best answer.
But the only thing that comes to mind right now is this.
While lowering herself, she lifts up Sujin and implicitly informs her that she is humble.
Also, while not rejecting the relationship, it was the only option to turn it around and say it was impossible at the moment.
“Hoho, you don’t have to take it seriously, I was just kidding.”
“No, what are you doing, scaring the White Sun Hunter?”
“I mean… Why burden the child at a simple meal…”
Yoo Min-hyeok kept an eye on his wife from time to time because he didn’t know what else would happen.
Sujin glanced at me to see if I was offended.
I was making eye contact with Sujin’s mother, but those eyes were never mischievous.
‘If you show a gap, your nose will get stuck.’
Eyes sharper than those of a bird of prey were trying to pierce me.
It was not the time to be confused about something in a novel.
“I like jokes like this too, Mother. It’s okay. Haha”
“Ho-ho-ho!”
Haha!”
The meal was somewhat finished.
The food was quickly decreasing while chatting around, and it was the first time we met, so the reason we couldn’t have a lot of conversation was a big reason.
It’s because you can’t do a favor survey right away.
“I’m sure my wife and daughter cook really well, don’t they?”
“Yes, I think you’ll be really happy.”
“Yes, I’m really happy. So I hope my daughter doesn’t get hurt.”
Yoo Min-hyeok dragged me up to the study with the words, ‘I have something to tell the men.’
The study was so large and wide that it took up the entire fifth floor.
There were not only books, but also weapons and equipment used by hunters.
It was not very pleasant to see two men drinking coffee and facing each other in the middle of it.
“My daughter…”
The textbook-like lines of the father continued.
This was the second hurdle for me.
In terms of a love comedy, I should have been moved by the end of Yoo Min-hyeok’s story here.
A story of taking responsibility for a woman through a conversation between a man and a man while conveying fatherly love in a strong way!
It was clear that Yoo Min-hyeok was hoping for something like that.
‘No, I can’t.’
There were too many women to take care of.
Soon, the regular convening day, where only the always-activated abilities gather, is approaching.
At that time, the heroine of Kim Min-soo could have appeared.
You have to be ready to accept a new woman at any time, but you can’t swear pure love.
‘Instead, I can take responsibility for everything.’
She had a body that could easily send everyone away, even during a wild sex party.
Since it was a worldview created by Fatty, there must have been a device that could end with a harem at any cost.
‘There’s no way that fat bastard would think of selling it.’
If that was the intention in the first place, I wouldn’t have made Kim Min-soo the main character.
He would be full of shady desires to create a personality similar to his own and achieve vicarious satisfaction.
There was no way to suddenly plan an ending with only one main heroine.
‘I’m going to open this novel after I’ve seen the ending, taking responsibility for everything.’
I made a promise again and looked at Yoo Min-hyuk with serious eyes.
It was because the words were coming to an end, and this kind of expression would give strength to the words.
Even Yoo Min-hyeok flinched as he put strength into his dark eyes.
“… So take good care of my daughter.”
“It’s not enough, but I’ll do my best.”
Minhyuk Yoo’s best and mine are probably very different.
But wouldn’t it matter if the ending was happy?
“Dad! How long will the sun hold it, really?”
The conversation took quite a while, so Sujin ran to my side.
After waiting, he finally couldn’t stand it and came to pick me up.
“The story is over, don’t forget the promise you made with me, White Sun Hunter.”
“Yes, thank you, Father.”
“Sun, let’s go to my room.”
“Okay sister.”
I also felt sorry.
Because my ending and Yoo Min-hyuk’s ending will be different.
‘But what?’
Still, it’s okay because you take responsibility, Father?
“You look so pretty today, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.”
“No, it’s okay. My parents were too… Just that, so it was burdensome, right?”
“As for the burden, it’s all about interest and telling me to do well. What? I liked it.”
“I’m glad…”
Sujin let out a sigh of relief and led her to her room.
It was so cute how her toes wiggled in her white socks.
He smiled and held Sujin’s hand.
Going to a room with just the two of us in such a spacious mansion?
This was unavoidable.
