Chapter 131 – Chapter 131
On the one hand, it may have been a warm ending. But literally, it was ‘on the one hand’.
“Ha ha, ha, ha…”
“Noah, are you okay?”
I deliberately slowed down my gait to keep the distance between Seonwoo and Yerang. Because on the outside, it seemed like I was having a conversation with Seonwoo Yerang as if nothing was wrong, but Noah’s grip on my hand only got stronger.
I squeezed it so tightly that I had a small bruise on the back of my hand, and the veins came up because the blood didn’t flow well.
“Dad, Dad…”
“Yes, Dad is here. It’s okay.”
“Whoa…”
At least, I was almost fooled by it.
There was no way that the trauma that was so serious could heal at once, and even in Noah’s case, he was a child with an excellent memory and cleverness that was several times, or even hundreds of times more exaggerated than Miho.
It may not be right to compare the two children in this way, but compared to Miho’s case, she is simple and can quickly forget the past and can easily move forward without looking back.
In Noah’s case, he was cautious and fearful in everything, and he had the personality to cross even a stone bridge.
That’s why Noah’s legs have been firmly connected without any broken parts from the past to the present. There are moments when this exerts great power, but in areas such as trauma, it has a negative effect on the contrary.
Nonetheless, Noah was a strong kid.
“Noah, you did your best… Dad. I don’t want to make the same mistake as last time… I did my best.”
“Yeah, you did very well. Their smiles are as if they were created by you.”
“Swimming… Hehe…”
I held him in my arms and gently stroked Noah’s head as he breathed helplessly and closed his eyes as if collapsing.
Right.
Unlike Miho, Noah was always dignified and good at not fitting into the mold of being a child.
I don’t have accidents, and I don’t get into trouble.
At the same time, she does n’t show her greed her, and she always yields everything to Miho, her older sister her, and is obedient.
But that’s why I was more worried about her.
‘Because this child takes a small mistake too seriously.’
Miho is shameless, so it was clear that Noah would be tangled up in it all day long, groaning over her inner feelings her alone, even if it was an obvious lie, saying, “Miho, no.”
Furthermore, since Noah is so dignified, it seemed like I was expecting even a little more from her.
Even knowing that both of them are the same child, there are many moments of belated regret every time.
It was like that this time too.
If it were Miho, she would be worried and restless, even though I would have thought that I should do something about it.
When Noah stepped in first, in a corner of her mind, she was calming herself.
As a result, Miho and Sunwoo Yerang met a very heartwarming ending, but Noah had to suffer a great loss of strength without gaining anything from her.
Above all, she was such a bright child that I couldn’t help but know.
“Hey! Hyunwoo Kim, what are you doing? Not coming soon!”
“Tonnu, come quickly. Eat donuts!”
“Oh, you go first. I will follow you right away.”
“Okay!”
I can’t help but know…
No matter how hard Sunwoo Yerang works, no matter who she sees it, the one she likes more is Miho. Especially if it was a child who had been bullied by her mean stepmother and her mean daughter of her, she would have been more sensitive to that.
‘Noah has a crush on Hwangbo Nayoung, but she’s someone I’ve never met before. In a way, she nailed the nail saying no to Seonwoo Yerang…’
Whoa, I let out a small sigh.
As a father, I love both of them, but I applaud Miho even louder when he does well once after being bad at 10 times.
Since Noah is always good, maybe she paid less attention.
‘It shouldn’t be like that.’
I don’t know anything else, but at least the moment Seonwoo Yerang was with me today, I thought I should take care of Noah much more than usual.
“Ha… Dad, it’s okay now. Noah, even for her sister her.”
“Noah.”
“Yes?”
After giving Noah a kiss on the cheek, she gave another kiss on the forehead as well.
“Don’t overdo it. If you’re having a hard time, tell Dad. Understand?”
At my words, Noah kissed me on the cheek and said.
“Yes, Dad. It’s okay not to worry. Noah, it’s a dragon that can easily do this.”
“Okay. Our Noah is the strongest dragon in the world.”
“Hee hee, that’s right.”
I thought as I headed home with Noah in my arms.
It may sound a bit sorry for Seonwoo Yerang, but she wants her to go home before dinner.
*
What is certain is that Seonwoo Yerang was a woman who was really compatible with Miho in many ways. She fits so well that she believes that Miho Kim has added one more person to the house.
“I ate well.”
“It goes well in that little boat.”
I said after eating the donuts and looking at the empty box and the crumbs on the floor.
“Did Daddy tell you what to do when you finish?”
“That, that… Say thanks to the god of nature.”
“Oh no, that’s not it. You said you had to clean it up. At least you have to clean up what you ate, right?”
At my words, Miho jumped up.
I was a bit surprised by this.
Normally, I would have passed it on to Noah casually here, or I would have carefully picked up the game console and ran away pretending not to hear.
But since there is a person next to me who thinks of me as ‘mom’, have I become a bit more mature?
“I ate Yerang too. But why don’t you say anything to Yerang?”
“What? Look at what he’s saying I’m an adult. Above all, Hyunwoo is there, so why am I cleaning it up? He will take care of it.”
“If that’s the case, then Miho and Noah are there.”
Then it is.
Even Seonwoo Yerang’s answer was a spectacle. Of course, she wasn’t wrong. I know better than anyone what Seonwoo Yeerang’s personality and habits are like, and furthermore, she’s always been a VIP customer, so it was natural for me to get rid of her.
But, at least not at the moment like now.
‘Nuna, you have to show that you are an example in front of the kids. Even if it’s a little annoying, you have to show a good image. It is not for nothing that there is a saying that parents are the mirror of their children. If noona shows a good side here, Miho won’t copy it either.’
I whispered carefully, and Miho pricked up her ear and shouted.
“Ohhh, was it like that? Kyaang! Miho, you heard everything!”
“… Hyunwoo, isn’t this guy already eating? And to be honest, even after hearing that from you, it bothered me so I almost asked if I could clean it up later…”
I was at a loss for words when I saw the two of them.
Of course, in the case of Seonwoo Yerang, as an adult, he feels ashamed and realizes his mistakes.
It wasn’t enough.
If you don’t do this, the spoiled Miho will grow up to be a more spoiled child.
“First of all, it is true that I came as a guest today… I’ll clean it up.”
“Oh, Dad! Noah will help too.”
In the end, Noah and I did the cleaning up.
“Dad, these paper boxes should be flattened and thrown away, right?”
“Yes, and it would be better if you collect them and put them together with a string, but few people do that.”
“Ah, Noah will do it. And it’s good to remove all the stickers and tape. If there was any sticky residue, they asked me to cut it out and throw it away as usual.”
“Okay? I didn’t know that. Where did our Noah know that?”
“I saw an article on separate collection on my phone saying that only then can we recycle these papers and make the environment better.”
“Oh, that’s great. Dad will do the same from now on.”
Like this, when Noah and I put the boxes together and I pushed the vacuum cleaner, Noah quickly came back with a rag and cleaned the floor.
Seonwoo Yerang cleared his throat and looked at us like this, but that was for a while. Before she knew it, she was clinging to the game machine with Miho, and was in the middle of a heartfelt competition with her child.
“Ugh,, Miho, I lost again…”
“Hey, why can’t you do this? Didn’t you see that bastard just emote for you?”
“Expression of emotion? What is that?”
“In a word, he treated you like an idiot. Give it to me, I’ll just crush you with one blow.”
“Ohh… Yes, are you good at this?”
“I’ve never played it, but what’s so difficult about a kid’s game like this?”
“Ppypppppppk! Pp pp pp pp pp!”
And, exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds later.
From listening to it briefly from the side, it seems like it must have been first place in the Nario Race, but the moment it turned the last wheel.
“No, fuck! Why are you shooting that at me!”
“Kyaaaaang! Shit, damn it!”
“It’s so stupid, such a dog… Eup, ugh!”
I had to quickly shut Seonwoo Yerang’s mouth, who was about to spit out even worse curses.
Seriously, this noona is like this when she plays games.
In a way, I think this might be a mental illness.
[You lose]
[5th]
As a result, I did better than Miho, but Seonwooye and I ended up getting hit by old people who looked down on me for being a child’s game.
Of course, because of her personality her, there was no way it could end like this.
“Just one more round.”
“Garleung, now it’s Miho’s turn!”
“I’ll just do one more.”
“No! It’s a Miho game machine!”
“Tsk, okay. So, here. Hyunwoo, what is the name of this game machine?”
“Is that it? What was it, Mintendo…”
“Ah, okay, that’s enough.”
And for exactly 3 hours, it must have been that Seonwoo Yerang and Miho were playing the game diligently, alternately, with one game console.
「Smart, smart!」
The person who wants Noah to go before he gets into trouble doesn’t go, but rather someone comes and knocks on the front door of our house.
‘What?’
“Who are you.”
“It’s bullet delivery. I brought what you ordered.”
Bullet delivery?
As she tilted her head, Seonwoo Yeerang, who had been standing next to Miho as if he was frustrated, widened his expression and ran back.
As soon as she received her parcel, Seonwoo Yerang hurriedly tore off the tape with a kitchen knife, opened the box, and took out her contents of her.
“Well, it’s later than I thought, but why are you even here?”
It was a Mintendo game machine.
That’s as many as five.
“Perhaps I could get mad and throw it, and looking at this, up to 8 people were supported. You and him… Noah… I wondered if it would be okay to put them together. You don’t do much anyway. Honestly, if you give him a game console… You might be upset.”
What does it mean to get angry and throw it in front of you?
Well, I know that the intention itself is not bad. However, Seonwoo Yerang was still uncomfortable with Noah, and Noah seemed even more difficult than that.
Still, Noah was holding on to my hand, which was outstretched behind me.
‘Huh, when I see things like this, my older sister doesn’t care in many ways.’
No, this was not to blame Seonwoo Yerang.
Noah was so dignified, it was just that Seonwoo Yerang couldn’t notice at all.
“Thank you so much for the gift, Auntie.”
“Yes? Oh, no big deal. That, maybe ah… If you need anything from Zumma, just tell me. Over there, that… I’ll buy you anything. Oh, the lady also has a lot of money. Ugh, ugh…”
“Hehe, it’s okay.”
“Okay? Uh ok…”
Seonwoo Yerang nodded her head, and even if it was just to get rid of her discomfort, she began to enjoy the game with Miho more vigorously.
Noah muttered softly as he silently watched the scene beside me.
“Noah, I want you…”
Looking at her Noah like that, I lifted her up.
And she whispered in her ear.
“Shall we go on a date with just the two of us, without my sister and the aunt’s knowledge?”
“… !”
After feeling bitter about my words, Noah finally opened her eyes wide in surprise like a child, and then she vigorously nodded her head.
Seeing that, I held her Noah in her, put on her rough shoes in her, and ran out of her house.
“Uh? Hey! Kim Hyun-woo, where are you going!”
“Ukkam, tongue nu!”
This time it was our turn to run away.
“Haha, Daddy is so fast!”
When Noah finally caught her breath, she smiled as she began to let out a childlike laugh.
