Chapter 143 – Swapping (2)
A night in deep darkness.
Located halfway up the mountain, this place was filled with only the sound of insects.
Fuck…
What kind of dog thing is this?
It wasn’t until I saw a familiar building in front of me that I could barely wipe the sweat from my forehead.
Sammi Nursery School.
It was my hometown and literally a place like ‘home’ that raised me after being abandoned by my parents for 20 years.
It’s only 1 year, 1 year!
Just a year ago, I was the one who lived trapped in that disgusting gutter. The time when I was tired of life without hope and only dreamed of escaping.
My beloved mother and two more precious sisters appeared before my eyes. Like a savior who came to save my life.
I was able to get out of this disgusting gutter along with the three mothers and daughters.
Of course, I couldn’t say that living with three mothers and daughters was easier than living in an orphanage…
What do you mean you’ve already come this far?
I followed the familiar trail toward Sammi Orphanage. It is already past 2:00 in the morning, and all the nursery school children and teachers must be in a deep sleep.
Only one room, the director’s room at Sammi Nursery School, was lit.
Did he come back to life after dying?
The old man who hit her head with Jae-eun’s sister. She tried to dig up her mother’s secret for no reason, and ended up getting hurt by her three mothers and daughters.
“Shh… Not nice. That’s right. Calm down Lucky. Shh… Quiet!”
A mutt at the entrance of the orphanage growled at me. But Lucky remembered my smell. It tried to bark at a strange silhouette, but as soon as I approached, it gently waggled its tail.
“Huh… Please stay quiet until we leave.”
I sighed heavily and stepped up the hallway at Sammi Nursery School.
Slowly… I suppressed the sound of my footsteps as much as possible and bent my upper body as much as possible.
Almost in a prone position, I started walking slowly down the hallway of the nursery school so as not to wake anyone.
Inside the nursery school, there were several rooms that looked like school classrooms. This is the room where the children sleep.
There were children of all ages living here, from 0 to 19 years old, before becoming adults. From room to room, the sound of the children’s quick breathing and snoring echoed.
Sneaky… Sneaky…
I passed the high school room I had been in a while ago, the middle school room, and the upper elementary school children’s room.
An approaching destination.
End of the hallway. As I turned the corner, I saw a signpost in front of me.
[Newborn room]
It is a room located in a particularly deep place in this Sammi Nursery School. A room that is not easily allowed to enter except for teachers who have disinfected their bodies. There was a risk of an accident, so even the children here had to go in accompanied by a teacher.
“Whoa… Please…”
Squeak… Clap.
I sighed deeply and opened the doorknob with sweaty hands.
Quick… Quick…
In the room, there were four or five cribs that reached the height of my waist.
They are abandoned children as soon as they are born.
For whatever reason, the children who had to come to Sammi Nursery School before their mothers warmed up and before their children even opened their eyes.
In a way, they could be the most pitiful children in this orphanage.
No wonder… I felt bad when I saw children in the same situation as me.
Let’s hurry up and get out.
When I entered the room, did the air change? Among the children who were sleeping soundly on the bed, there was a child who tossed and turned.
I started checking each signpost in front of the children.
The signs included the children’s names, months of age, date of discovery, and gender.
[Sky, 3 months, female]
[Yoojeong, 2 months old, female]
[Jiyoon, 1 month, female]
[Nameless, 1 month old, male]
…
There was also a child whose name was not written on the signpost.
Usually, when parents abandon their children, they leave their names on a note. Even so, the child he gave birth to is probably trying to act as a parent even at the moment he abandons it.
At the nursery school, they call the child by the name written on the note, hoping that their parents will come looking for it later.
Sky, Yoojung, Jiyoon…
These were all children with names. Still, the children whose parents tried to do the minimum dory.
On the other hand, what caught my attention was a boy marked with ‘nameless’.
A child sleeping soundly on the bed. In the dark, I couldn’t see his features clearly, but I could clearly sense that he was breathing.
A child who looks like me
Because I didn’t even have a name.
The name the director gave me after finding me abandoned on Christmas Eve.
‘Seongtan Kim.’
It even comes from the name of ‘Kim Deok-soo’, the director of Seongdo.
Did I have the nameless written on the signpost like that? Had I been sleeping soundly in a place where no one took care of me like this?
Looking at the child’s face, it felt like something hot was knocking on his heart.
What the hell have I done! Did my parents abandon me?
Why the hell…!
I had no choice but to shake my head knowing that this was an answer that could not be solved even after thinking about it for the rest of my life.
A child’s toes wiggling in front of his eyes.
Looking at the sleeping child, I felt something hitting my head hard.
Could this be fate?
Destiny to choose this child?
I picked up the nameless boy who was soundly asleep in my arms.
“Huhhhhh…”
A guy who turns around. The guy, weighing less than a puppy, opened his mouth a little and yawned in my arms.
“Oooh… Oooh. I’m sleepy…?”
Without realizing it, I touch the guy’s chubby cheeks. A warm and soft touch at the tip of your hand. That soft and soft feeling made me stand up and relax.
Good. Let’s do this kid.
I remembered her mother’s face, who would smile brightly at me.
Despite her simple appearance without makeup, her mother’s skin glows. Just thinking about the warm, loving expression he looked at me made my heart race.
Is this… Love?
The mere thought of how much she would love it if she gave this nameless child into her mother’s arms, her cock was thrilling at the tip of her.
The child must have fallen asleep, even saliva was dripping from between his small lips.
It’s a chance for you too.
The beginning may be shabby and humble, but the end will be different. It will probably make your parents regret abandoning you.
Because I will definitely… Change your life.
“Is it Christmas…?”
Mr… Fuck.
A thick man’s voice rang low behind his back. I called my name in a very soft voice, in case the other sleeping child would wake up.
After… Damn it.
“Sir… Sir.”
“Christmas, what are you doing here at this time?”
Was the principal teacher.
The teacher who returned to Sammi Nursery School, as if Jae-eun had healed of the head pain from her sister before she knew it.
The light in his eyes staring into my face seemed to flicker in the dark.
“What are you doing… I asked.”
“That… That’s it, sir. Please listen to me.”
“Stop. Don’t come close stand there.”
I cradled the child in my arms and slowly approached him.
“Sir… Just let it go. I need this child.”
“What…? Is he going to kidnap a child?”
“I just… Just wanted to send it without saying anything. Rather, it is a better way for this child’s life.”
I opened my eyes as wide as possible and tried to convince the director. With an innocent expression without malice.
However, the nursery school here’s old-fashioned sense of the word didn’t eat the seeds.
“Put that child down. What the hell are you trying to do to a child? Are you going to kill me?”
“Kill me, sir. Your words are too harsh. It’s Christmas that that teacher raised like a son!”
“Serious…? Do you know that someone called your sister blew my head off? I barely lived and died. I’ve been through life and death! But is it just one word harsh? After all, aren’t you also one of the mother and daughter murderers!”
The head teacher’s lips trembled.
He was furious
Even in this darkness, I can feel myself grinding my teeth. The tiger teacher who scolded me during my school days had returned to his true form.
Jerk… Jerk…
I took a step closer to him.
“If you don’t put the child down right away, I will call the police.”
“Teacher… It’s because it’s Christmas. Can’t you believe me!? The teacher himself gave me a name and raised me!”
“I raised you…But now you are not the Kim Seongtan I know. So, put the child down right now and leave the nursery school right away…”
Wheeik…
Puck!
“Ugh…! You…!”
“Whoa… Whoa…”
A strong wind burst out of my mouth.
A hand that vibrates enough to tremble. There was thin red blood on the heavy metal at the end of the finger.
“Seo… Christmas is you… How dare you…”
The director got down on his half-knee.
He looked at me with one hand holding the right side of his head, the back of his head.
His expression was engulfed in pain, but fortunately he wasn’t dead.
“That’s why I asked you to send it. Ha…”
Cracking voice. I could even feel my hands trembling.
But…
She could do anything for her mother.
Anything worse than this.
I cradled the child in my arms and sat down in front of the director.
His quivering eyes.
I raised the corner of my mouth at an angle.
“And, of course, he is not the old Kim Seongtan. It’s that meteor bomb.”
“Huh… What are you planning to do with the child?”
“I plan to make this child the blood of the Yoo family.”
“What…!?”
“You decided to get money from the universe, right? I’m sorry, but you won’t get a dime. If you want to keep this orphanage at least small, keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?”
I nailed it
“The life you almost died from your sister, live quietly as if you were given a new life.”
Now, the final puzzle was about to be put together.
“Huh…”
Then he barely got up.
“Christmas, hear me and go before it is too late.”
He had a mysterious expression, as if he had given up on everything.
