Chapter 189 – Chapter 189
Not delicious. It smells. I don’t like to eat.
Do-gyun teased him with a spoon, squeezing out all the negative thoughts that popped into his head.
Eun-seol, across from her, wiped off her annoyed face until just before, wondering what was so delicious, and was continuing her meal.
Do-gyun was too suspicious.
‘How can a person like this?’
How can this taste be delicious?
Eun-seol, who was in the middle of a meal, looked at those eyes and frowned.
“What.”
“… No.”
Do-gyun’s eyes looked down.
At the thought of avoiding Eun-seol’s gaze, Do-gyun held his breath and waited for a while to hand over the food. Do-gyun, who was in the middle of a meal, felt that the thought of going to meet Eun-ah’s grandfather resurfaced.
Is it right to go this way?
Would it be right for the two of them to go and try to solve it without telling Eun-ah?
Troubles that follow. Do-gyun couldn’t suppress the worry any longer and opened his mouth.
“… Mr. Eunseol.”
“Why.”
“Can I not talk to Miss Eun?”
Do-gyun raised his head.
“It’s something Eun-ah should know. You will find out someday.”
One day, Eun-ah, who inherited her memories after Eun-seol disappeared, will know about this.
“You will be very disappointed. You will be sad again.”
Isn’t it Eun-ah who feels so much in debt to Eun-seol? He’ll be pretty upset when he finds out he wasn’t aware of this.
“Because Eun-ah is fine now. How about she talk?”
Eun-seol’s movements stopped. Eun-seol kept his mouth tightly shut and looked at Mara-tang, a master of coriander, as he seemed to be contemplating.
“… It’s something you don’t have to know now.”
“It’s something I can’t say about now.”
Eun-seol’s fingertips trembled. What floated over her face was hesitation.
Do-gyun thought that Eun-seol tended to be too close to Eun-ah.
Of course, it is not that Eun-seol’s position is not understandable. Isn’t Eun-ah, whom Eun-seol has taken care of all her life, a very unstable and scarred person, like glass that could break at any moment?
These words may not have been pleasant. However, it was necessary to say these words for both Eun-ah and Eun-seol.
“Believe me a little. Because Eun-ah is much stronger than Eun-seol.”
Do-kyun waited patiently for Eun-seol’s answer.
Eun-seol, as if pondering for a long time, stopped eating and stared blankly at the seaweed rising from the cilantro mara soup, then barely nodded.
A deep smile tugged at the corners of Dokyun’s mouth.
“I will tell Eun-ah.”
“… Yes.”
Eun-seol moved the spoon again.
*
Eun-ah clenched her fists at Do-gyun’s words. She did it without even knowing it.
“That, was it…”
He said it happened while he was asleep. That uncle, who was not even in her head, was making Eun-seol suffer.
Eun-ah felt her stomach tighten. Her breathing sank heavily.
The moment his emotions subsided, Do-kyun’s hand overlapped Eun-ah’s hand.
Do-gyun did not add another word. Just like that, overlapping his hands and waiting for him to get his emotions under control. That was the end of Do-gyun’s work.
Eun-ah squeezed Do-gyun’s hand tightly, looked at it and made a face, and finally spoke.
“Mo, I wonder if it was too hot… ?”
Didn’t she say that she wasn’t hot enough? When I thought about it, I mumbled.
“Eun-seol always trusts Eun-ah.”
Do-gyun gave such an answer.
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-ah. Then, looking at his eyes, he solved Eun-ah’s misunderstanding.
“Eun-seol is someone who believes in Eun-ah more than anyone else in the world. I want to say that I believe the most, but…”
Do-gyun was not an inconsiderate person to the extent of making jokes even in this situation.
“… From my point of view, the person who believes in Eun-ah the most in the world is Eun-seol.”
Eun-ah looked at Do-gyun, who smiled calmly, and as she listened to her comforting words, she suppressed her rising emotions.
His head rested on Do-kyun’s shoulder. I felt the heat dissipate as my heated head touched his broad shoulders.
Eun-a let out her deep breath with a ‘huh’ and then added her words.
“I-I’ll go.”
“Yeah?”
Eun-ah’s head lifted. The expression on her face became a hard expression before she knew it.
“I-I go… I’ll talk to you directly…”
Eun-ah didn’t want to touch her anymore. She had always been indebted to her and did not want to burden Eun-seol again.
She was a burden she had borne herself. It was something he would have to face someday. Eun-ah didn’t want to run away anymore.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-ah with a hard expression, realized the firmness of will in her, and nodded her head slightly.
*
Do-gyun thought that Eun-seol would never allow Eun-ah to meet them.
All Do-gyun wanted was for Eun-ah to recognize Eun-seol’s hard work, so he thought that it would be Eun-seol and himself that went there.
However, he wondered if he underestimated Eun-ah too much.
Eun-ah readily accepted Eun-seol’s permission.
She did so by writing a letter that filled a page of the notebook she used for communication.
Do-gyun does not know the contents of the letter. However, I knew that Eun-seol’s expression fluctuated as he read the letter. He seemed to be very moved.
Eun-seol showed a flurry of emotions to the extent that he read the one-page letter for nearly an hour, and involuntarily recalled a smile.
Do-gyun realized it only when he saw it. That Eun-ah was growing steadily, that she was becoming more mature than she thought.
“Hey, here…”
Eun-ah’s words raised Do-gyun’s head.
What fills the sight is a mansion in a neighborhood known as the wealthiest village in Seoul.
Is it really the chairman? The house he lives in is unusual.
Do-gyun finally began to feel a sense of reality and made a nervous face.
Isn’t it? A human giggling while reading a novel in the corner of the room is going to meet one of the richest people in Korea.
Do-gyun checked his outfit again.
‘Clean clothes, clean speed, empty, and…’
Won’t you make a mistake?
Wait for a while to feel your legs tremble at the thoughts that come to mind.
“Hey, honey bee…”
Eun-ah held Do-gyun’s hand and opened her mouth. Do-gyun, who turned his head, reflected in his field of vision was Eun-ah, who was equally nervous.
“It’s okay, it’ll be fine… ?”
“So-so… !”
It’s safe to say that it’s a scene from a comedy. Do-kyun and Eun-ah were looking at each other trembling.
If I keep going like this, I might not be able to go any further in front of this all night long.
Moment.
Tiriri-!
The door is open.
Do-Kyun and Eun-Ah’s bodies jumped up and down at the sudden mechanical sound.
The one who opened the door was a middle-aged housekeeper wearing an apron.
The housekeeper opened her mouth with a small smile.
“Come on in.”
“Yes, yes… !”
Kwak-!
The hands of Eun-ah and Do-kyun, who were holding each other, were full of strength.
*
It was a spacious mansion. The mansion where Eun-ah lives is so large that it seems cramped.
Following the guide of the housekeeper, Do-gyun arrived at the mansion through the garden, and while looking at the interior decorations of the mansion, he realized that they looked quite familiar.
‘… Things I saw at home.’
The interior decorations of Eun-ah’s house felt exactly like this. Do-kyun realized at once the reason why Eun-ah’s house and this house were similar.
Eun-ah’s house was designed by Seo Han-kyung. Seo Han-kyung missed his hometown. In order to recreate the space he missed a little bit, Seo Han-kyung must have made Eun-ah’s house similar to her original house.
I felt no sympathy. There is only the realization that it must be like that.
As Do-gyun was walking, he turned his head and looked at Eun-ah. Eun-ah looked around and had a shaking expression.
Perhaps he was thinking of the same thing as himself.
I didn’t know Eun-ah’s heart. It will be the moment when she first meets her blood relatives as Go Eun-ah after she became a girl, and she must have a feeling that she can’t fathom.
“You can go in.”
While he was thinking, the housekeeper’s words rang in Do-gyun’s ears.
Do-gyun’s head turned forward again. The housekeeper approached the door and, very carefully, knocked on it with his hand.
A ‘smart’ sound rings out.
– Come in.
A voice came from inside.
Gulp. Dry spittle passed down the back of Do-gyun’s throat.
The housekeeper carefully opened the door, and what was reflected inside was the living room. On the sofa in the middle was Seo Cheon-wu and In-young sitting with their backs to the door.
Do-gyun felt strength enter Eun-ah’s hand. Dare to expect, by tension. Do-gyun took a step forward, recalling the tension as well.
Do-kyun is one of the richest people in Korea.
Eun-ah’s grandfather and Seo Han-kyung’s father.
A human who abandoned Seo Han-kyung and left Eun-ah alone.
Seo Baek-san, chairman of Hansung.
In the field of view of Do-gyun, who went to the middle of the living room, he finally reflected.
