Chapter 17 – New Encounters #2
Familiar and nostalgic faces soon evoke intimacy.
YuRia said that her own deceased father and her face resembled mine, and asked her to talk to her for a moment.
That’s how we made our voices and sat in a cafe and talked.
My current name is Kim Tae-gon, and I was a successful businessman who was single and running a real estate business.
“I’m so sorry that I asked to talk and then got eaten…”
I showed a benevolent smile to YuRia, who was quite apologetic.
“Never mind. Are you from Sweden?”
“Yes.”
YuRia was back to her usual arrogant appearance.
But the glance at my face every time she sipped her coffee made it clear that she cared about me.
“But didn’t you speak to me in a strange language on the street? Is that Swedish?”
He was talking about how Yuria had unknowingly used the official language of Erandel.
Of course, the remodeled me understood all of the language, but if I showed understanding, I would be suspicious, so it was right to pretend not to know.
“That… It… Came out without my knowledge because I was studying linguistics. It’s not Swedish.”
The excuse is really… I’m going to give you something plausible.
“Okay. Anyway, it’s a bit surprising. Did you say YuRia…? She’s surprised that YuRia’s father and I look alike.”
“I was surprised too. You look so much alike… You were taken aback when I caught you right away, right?”
“No. It felt good to be called by someone like her daughter. Of course, she’s single, so she doesn’t have a daughter… But I’d like to apologize if she was offended.”
Yuria hurriedly waved her hand.
“She wasn’t offended at all. Rather… No, no.”
She swallowed her afterwords.
She seems to have tried to say that she was happy to say that she was like a daughter.
The Tyrant of the past… No, in front of me, he was consistent with his expression and hatred…
Those benevolent eyes are very beautiful, so please see them often.
“You speak Korean very well. When did you come to Korea?”
“I immigrated a year ago. I have been learning Korean since 10 years ago.”
“Okay? You seem to have a lot of interest in Korea.”
“That’s right, there’s someone I need to find…”
Are you the person I need to find? Then it will be me.
I’ll have a look in case you don’t know.
“Did you find him?”
“No. I haven’t found it yet. But I got a hint recently.”
Hintra… He must have noticed it after seeing Amdusias and Aktoa.
But what can she do on her own?
Even if there are thousands or tens of thousands of people helping me, they won’t be able to find my true self and base.
“I guess he could be a precious person, as long as he flew in from Sweden.”
“I am not a precious person. I have something to look out for.”
Although the words were refined, it was clear that he had come to kill me.
If that’s the case, it means that the flow of the 2nd episode hasn’t changed much except for the fact that I came over here in advance… This makes things a lot easier.
No, do I really want to change it?
Shall we seduce the doctor to make another device and transform it quickly?
Leona and Yuria… It doesn’t look bad if the two of them are active at the same time…
All sorts of thoughts fill my head.
“What do you think?”
I suddenly came to my senses while sipping coffee.
“It’s nothing.”
If she asked more questions here, Yuria might be suspicious.
No matter how much we resemble our father, we were new to each other.
Also, judging from the fact that Yuria kept telling lies to disguise herself, it seemed that she couldn’t know anything more about this.
I spent quite a long time with YuRia talking about nonsensical things.
She spoke mainly of her father, and each time she spoke, a longing pierced her voice.
It seemed that I wanted to see it for a long time.
I acted as if I had become a real father and built up Yuria’s liking for me.
When it was that late, I looked at my watch.
“Shall we just get up?”
“Yes? Already?”
“Already… I’ve been at this coffee shop for three hours.”
“Ah… That’s right. Then I’ll treat you to dinner. Because you bought me coffee…”
“It’s late, so I want to go home. I’m going to be busy tomorrow, so I want to get some rest.”
“Then…Then please give me your contact information. If even that is difficult, even the company name…”
“It’s a little uncomfortable for you to do this.”
YuRia lowered her head.
I want to leave a place to meet, but I don’t know what to do because it’s uncomfortable.
She immediately looked straight at me.
“Do you believe in reincarnation?”
What a stupid question.
Reincarnation… Do you think I’m my father’s reincarnation?
Well, the planet Erandel had great faith in that…
“I do not know. I never thought about it, but…”
“I am so used to you. Aren’t you like that, uncle?”
It’s bold, it’s still bold.
I hardened my expression and shook my head.
“People who look alike are everywhere. Shall I be honest? I think YuRia just felt that way for a moment, very briefly, because of her longing for her father.”
“…. Still…”
“I’ll see you again if it’s meant to be. The world is smaller than you think.”
After her words, I pulled back the chair and stood up, and YuRia also stood up.
Her expression was very desperate, but she seemed to want to keep in touch with me somehow.
Yuria pulled out a ballpoint pen from her bosom, wrote something on a napkin, and handed it to me.
“This is my contact. I hope you will contact me again.”
“Well…”
After pretending to be worried for a while, I calmly held out my hand after receiving it.
“Nice to meet you.”
Yuria, who held her hand, emphasized.
“Please contact me. Sure.”
After shaking hands, I smiled without answering and left the coffee shop.
Don’t worry, I’ll come back to you.
**
A chicken is placed in front of the front door of the house.
Chicken from a popular Hope House in Handae Street.
It seemed that Sehwa had been packing beer while drinking beer with friends.
I was fed up and went inside the house with chicken.
Then, while heating it in the microwave, I watched a video Marcela sent me.
In the video, Yoo Seung-hyun, dressed in a waiter’s uniform, was filmed talking to Se-hwa.
‘Sehwa’s hair style has changed.’
A ponytail with a few strands of hair down to the bottom of the chin.
Her bangs, which seemed to have been trimmed, covered her forehead, and the back hair that was tied back was moderately curved in an S shape.
I liked the way the back of my hair wasn’t neatly trimmed.
It was especially good that the nape of the neck was exposed.
-Did you change your hair?
At Yoo Seung-hyun’s startled tone, Se-hwa patted the back of her hair.
-Yes. I just cut and changed my bangs. How is it?
-Hmm… It’s pretty, but I think I liked it better before. And you hated showing your ears.
– In just a little while, it will be summer. I changed it because it looked boring.
-It seems that you are stressed out about living as a hero. It’s enough to change the hairstyle you’ve been sticking to for a long time. What happened in Incheon… Good job. I’m proud of you…
As Saehwa’s eyebrows twitch, she cuts Yoo Seunghyun off.
-I told you not to mention that. I’m still noticing people, but are you going to do that too? You just have to say it’s pretty.
-Ah… I did. I’m really sorry.
-Does it end late this morning?
-I think so.
– Can you ask for a day off?
– Sehwa, you know. I have to earn money… And I’m so busy with work that I can’t go back here if I’m absent. I’ll tell you once when it’s a little calmer.
Sehwa sighs in front of Yoo Seung-hyun, who is stumped.
-Ha… Okay. I can’t help it…
-I have to go in now. I’m always on your side, so cheer up. It’s really nice to see your face like this. Let’s hug once in a while
-W… This is the street?
– You didn’t even care about that before.
At that, Sae-hwa reluctantly approaches Yoo Seung-hyeon.
Yoo Seung-hyun, holding her Sehwa tightly, looked at her with deep eyes.
-I love you, Sehwa. I only have you
Yoo Seung-hyun suddenly put his mouth in Se-hwa’s mouth.
Sehwa, who was kissed unexpectedly, showed no reaction.
Just say this
-Work hard. If anything happens, be sure to call.
– Won’t you tell me you love me?
– You see people. I’ll call you later.
-Do it now. I think it will be strong then.
-Ah… Kind of… Okay, I love you.
-It seems like it was forced, but well… But I’m getting stronger. Am I going to work? Enter the house carefully.
-Yes.
So the two separated and went their separate ways.
The video ends there.
I picked up the reheated chicken and brought it to my mouth with the corner of my mouth slightly raised.
Just then, a small knocking sound came from the front door.
‘Sehwa-ro. It kills timing.’
He seemed sorry that it was too late to ring the doorbell.
Beep! Rattle!
I opened the door remotely and started eating the chicken.
Then I met eyes with Sehwa who sneaked into the house.
She laughed.
“I was going to go for a walk because I couldn’t sleep, but the chicken I had left in front of the door was gone. Just wondering…”
“Who said what? But the hair is nice I like it.”
Sehwa’s mouth was torn open.
No one said anything, but the girl sitting across from me asked.
“How about chicken? Is it delicious?”
“Tasty. You eat too.”
“I’m done. I ate a lot earlier. Oh, I left my card at home… I’ll return it tomorrow. Or should I go and get it right now?”
“No, just keep it and use it when needed.”
Sehwa’s pretty eyes are stunned.
He seemed surprised to have it at all.
I shrugged.
“Looking at today, I didn’t spend less than 50,000 won, but I was sorry to use the card, so I played with your money, right?”
“Not really…?”
“No what. Except for the karaoke room and hair salon, there is no payment history. Did you take out the chicken for free?”
“…. It’s kind of careless, so…”
“Even if you spend a million won a day, there is not even a scratch on my property. Stop talking about this… Turn your head. Take a good look at your hair.”
“Like this?”
She stands still with her head turned to the side.
Slowly appreciating the hairstyle, I patted the chair next to me in satisfaction.
Then Sehwa slowly got up and sat next to me.
I said putting my arm around her shoulder.
“Tell me what you did today.”
“I went to karaoke… I got my hair done at the hair salon and ate chicken and beer with my friends. I also met Seunghyun.”
“Yoo Seung-hyun? What did you do when we met?”
“Just wait… I met you for a while. After talking about this and that, we broke up.”
“Tell me in detail.”
I acted out a jealous expression.
Sehwa saw me like that and smiled lightly.
It took a while to see if she could take the lead.
“Um… It’s a secret.”
“Tell me quickly.”
“Where have you been and what have you been doing?”
Aha, let’s open each other?
If you tell me who you met, will you answer?
There’s no other fox to do.
“I just came to talk with a friend I haven’t seen in a while.”
“Who is your friend?”
“There’s a kid I’ve known for a long time. It’s a bit of a tough girl, but I heard the news after a while. Don’t worry, I just came here to talk.”
“Aren’t you worried? Why are you mistaking it?”
It’s so cute how upset you are.
“Are you reacting a little harshly? Do you care?”
“Not really?”
It looks like everyone cares, but what is it?
“You answer now. What did you do with Yoo Seung-hyun?”
Sehwa hesitates for a moment and looks at me.
“I just… I just talked.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Something like that…”
“Something like this. Speak straight and frankly.”
“That’s… I whined, Seonghyeon said sorry… Hugged each other… Eup!”
Sehwa was taken aback when something salty and sweet came into her mouth.
It was my finger smeared with chicken seasoning.
She looked at me with her big eyes even higher, then started rolling my fingers like candy.
“You hugged me? Then we didn’t just talk.”
Sehwa nodded slowly.
Her face was full of laughter, and even arc lines were drawn in her eyes.
He seems to think that his intention to make me jealous has succeeded.
I couldn’t have imagined the consequences that would follow from doing that.
“Sleep over at my house tonight.”
At my low, angry voice, Saehwa took her fear.
But even for a moment, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly as if she thought the operation had worked, and her eyes became hazy.
She seems to remember being fondled at the hotel.
I need to charge my device… This is unavoidable.
She seemed to think so.
OK, I’ll do whatever you want.
I have to finish what I couldn’t do at this point.
Whatever she did on her feet.
