Chapter 250 – Punishment (11)
A week later, Lee Shin-ah was finally able to leave the hospital.
She was stunned to see her own face, which had reverted her almost to her old self.
She thought that she would never return to this form again, but the power of modern medicine was amazing.
“Huh…Huh…”
Still, she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.
While she was so grateful to Jung Seong-min for taking care of her so that she could regain her own face, she was also very sorry.
“You are awake.”
Then she saw someone talking to her.
When she turned her head, Lee Ha-young was standing there.
“Hello mother”
“…”
The original culprit who plunged her son into the abyss of evil.
But she couldn’t afford to blame herself either.
Rather, she went beyond Lee Ha-young and committed even more vicious things, wasn’t she herself?
“It’s been a while… Hayoung.”
“Yes. Um… Did you hear about it? What will my mother do now?”
Isinah nodded her head.
As she listened to Jeong Seong-min, she had to copy-paste everything of her own to her double, which she had done.
Lee Shin-ah told Lee Ha-young what she understood.
“I understand it well. Then let’s go right away.”
Shina Lee put her beanie on her head and moved on.
She had to use her muscles for the first time in a while, so she needed someone to help her, but soon she was able to walk on her own.
“Ah…”
And after a while, Lee Shin-ah was finally able to see her own double.
Sitting there was a woman with a gentle and gentle impression who looked exactly like her past self.
“Ah…”
Sudden crushing feelings.
Her own version of her that will never get her back.
The glories of the past, the contrasting present.
“Hello. My name is Mijin Kim. Lee Shin-ah…Is that right?”
Kim Mi-jin, standing tall and holding out her hand.
Lee Shin-ah shook her hand and held her hand.
She felt as if she was touching herself, which she wanted back.
But obviously she was a different person, and she was someone she should become more like her past self.
She shouldn’t let her greed out by looking at this person.
She has to help this person, so that she can become the perfect herself.
“…Nice to meet you. I just… Call me the manager. Because she is the one who will teach me in the future.”
Shina Lee did not want to be called by her first name.
When called by the name Lee Shin-ah, she seemed to be greedy for her past self.
“Ruler. Then start training. I’m going to make it 4 hours every day from now on.”
The act of transferring oneself to this person for four hours a day.
Shina Lee nodded her head with her blank eyes.
That is how her education began.

– Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Boiled soybean paste stew.
I hurriedly grabbed the pot with kitchen gloves and moved it to the center of the table.
Son and daughter. And her husband was waiting for his soybean paste, knocking on the spoon.
“Aig! Sorry sorry! Let’s eat quickly!”
Busy morning hours.
It was a bit late to eat because I overslept.
Originally, I never slept in this late, but it was because I had the wrong dream last night.
“Sungmin. What do you think of this competition?”
Then, after slurping a spoonful of soybean paste stew, my husband asked.
Then, the son slurped a spoonful of soybean paste stew and replied with a confident expression.
“It’s going to be first place.”
“Hey. Hehe. Are you proud of yourself and hurt your nose?”
“Ay, I’m really confident. How hard did you prepare?”
“Give me pocket money if I win the prize.”
A confident son and a husband who smiled happily at such a son.
And a daughter who is trying to steal her brother’s money.
I fried eggs while watching this pleasant morning scenery.
Then, it was placed on top of the rice of each of the completed jokjoks.
“Thank you mom”
“Thank you too”
“You sit down and eat too”
However, I feel a bit uneasy.
My son is going to an important competition, and he had to feed him a side dish of meat.
Why did you sleep late
Stupidly
“Ah~ It’s nice to eat home-cooked food after a long time. I don’t want to go back to the agency~~”
Seong-a, who is a trainee, is resting at home for a while.
This time, the agency was forced to take a leave of absence due to construction work.
There are a lot of things to do, but it’s good to see her daughter’s face after a long time.
“I wish I could build it forever.”
Is it because I worked hard enough to rank first in the evaluation every quarter?
It seems that the life of a trainee is difficult.
Seeing you complaining like this.
Okay. It’s a house, so I can complain like this.
You have to be comfortable and get some rest.
“Oops. It’s already this time.”
At that time, the husband checked the watch and got up in surprise.
Look at what you left behind in the world.
“Just one more spoonful! Eat well!”
“Haha. I have to go~”
“Ruler-“
I grabbed my husband’s spoon and scooped out a spoonful.
After-woo. After-woo. Steamed, and put it in her husband’s mouth.
Give and take again
It’s cute.
“Um… Uh… Okay? Then go!”
She hurriedly followed her husband to her front door.
She can see her socks are worn out and her slightly soiled shoes.
Even the crooked necktie bothers me.
“A little bit. For a moment!”
I can’t see anything like this
What should I do if someone sees me?
Blame me for not being able to help myself.
“Um… That’s it.”
I tidied up the collar and tie of my husband who was standing there.
I hurriedly took out a brush and scrubbed her shoes.
I folded up the frayed part of the sock to cover it up.
“Then go.”
“Huh”
Decades have passed since we were married, but my husband is still the same.
He looks at me with a face full of blush and a face wishing for something.
“Hmm. Great.”
Maybe Seongmin and Seongah aren’t watching, right?
When I stick my head out to check, they are busy arguing with each other.
Anyway, when we meet, we fight.
However, I took this opportunity to give her husband a side kiss.
And in my ear, ‘I love you. Cheer up,’ he whispered.
“…Haha. I’ll have a good trip.”
How can this person remain the same even after decades?
When I look into your eyes, I can see that you love me.
Sometimes immature, but he is a really lovely husband.
Because I had a really good marriage.
-Beep~
Eventually, the front door opens and the husband leaves.
But when the front door opens, the scenery beyond is strange.
My husband was walking into a wide space filled with white.
Of course, I couldn’t see the various alleys and other buildings that were supposed to be visible.
I just walk through a place full of pure white nothingness.
‘Hey, honey!’
I was terrified.
Are you going to such a dangerous place?
Have to stop
“Honey! Up, it’s dangerous! Come home!”
My husband calls out to me, but does not stop walking.
Ah. What do we do.
I can’t go to such a strange place.
-Bang!
Reluctantly, she ran out the front door and ran to her husband.
She jumped through the empty white space and patted her husband on the back.
But the look on her husband’s face.
【Why did you do that?】
His eyeballs were dug out, and he was bleeding tears.
***
“Omg!”
14:00. Isinah opened her eyes.
Having experienced daily life in Jeong Seong-min’s purgatory, she looked around her with a throbbing forehead.
It was her own private room.
“…”
It’s been a month already, but I’m not used to it.
She experienced her past in her son’s purgatory from 2:00 am to 2:00 pm the next day, and she remembered it as it was and passed it on to Mi-jin.
It was as if she was living her double life.
“…Sorry. Honey.”
Tears flowed from Lee Shin-ah’s eyes.
When she opens her eyes like this, she has a clear picture of her family she has ruined.
She dreams of endless bliss, then she falls into an unknown depth of despair.
This sense of alienation and her sheer guilt seemed to suffocate her to death.
-Sue.
Lee Shin-ah hugged Jung Hyun-jae’s pillow from her bedroom.
And she looked up into space for over an hour, without even turning on the lights in her room.
She did that, bit by bit she killed her feelings and she sorted out what she had to do.
Today I have to pass on that when I saw off her husband she kissed her every day and whispered her love.
– Jureuk…
But she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.
She could only hope that this feeling would quickly pass.
Since she has to educate herself in the next three hours, she must empty out and churn out her emotions within that time.
“…”
That’s how Lee Shin-ah saw her empty space.
Like someone who had been stunned, she looked into the void and recalled the content of her dream.
At the same time, she recalled her misdeeds that she had committed, and she regretted them all.
“Whoa…”
So time is up.
After washing her face and brushing off her residual emotions, Lee Shin-a practiced smiling.
It was her job to create her own alter ego that would make her husband happy, so she was not to be saddened or neglected.
That’s how Lee Shin-ah went to meet Kim Mi-jin to teach her today and her past self.
***
It was midterm evaluation day.
It’s been 2 months since she taught Kim Mi-jin.
Lee Shin-ah decided to check how much Kim Mi-jin resembled her past self.
So Lee Shin-ah watched the daily records recorded by Kim Mi-jin.
It was a video of about 3 days worth of daily life.
Lee Shin-ah carefully checked Kim Mi-jin’s daily routine and her family’s reactions from morning to night.
“Huhhhhh…
However, after checking the video for a while, Lee Shin-ah collapsed.
This is because Seong-ah in the video covered Mi-jin, who was sleeping on the sofa, with a blanket.
Lee Shin-ah thought of her daughter, who was kind to her, and stroked her daughter’s face reflected on her screen.
“Mom…Mom is sorry…She said Mommy was wrong…Mom is sorry…”
