Chapter 214 – Ordinary Family (8)
26. Ordinary family (8)
‘If Vinia didn’t really hate us, she’d be looking at us by now.’
Cordia, who was holding Lucidia and Pieta, thought.
‘I don’t see her dad and mom after morning. They’re diligent people, so there’s no way they’ll go back to sleep if they wake up, but it’s so quiet. Mom and Dad don’t know anything. She must still know everything. I said that yesterday, but now it’s so quiet… She’s telling us to work it out ourselves. It’s what we did, so we gave you a chance. If you stay quiet this time or do something wrong again… You will be doubly disappointed.’
Cordia’s thoughts were in some ways not very different from those of Eugene and her wives. However, as parents, they stayed still to cool their heads and watch their daughters’ actions so as not to be too impatient with their children and not to maintain a serious atmosphere for long.
But Cordia was feeling the pressure in her quiet.
She must have been disappointed. I think it’s definitely the timing to scold or at least be strict.
Is it because they say that they see as much as they know and feel as much as they know? Because of her precociousness and genius, unlike other innocent 4-year-olds, Cordia, who was feeling virtual pressure, pondered all night about how to solve this case for our sisters.
After reviewing it several times, Cordia came to the conclusion that her younger siblings’ ‘active cooperation’ was necessary. She was just trying to soothe her younger siblings who were anxious about what happened yesterday. In that state, whatever you do will be clumsy and obvious.
“Rudy, Etty.”
“Yes.”
“Ooh sister!”
“Would you like something to happen soon?”
“Yes!”
“Should I listen carefully from now on?”
“Ugh!”
Cordia released her arms from holding her brothers and unfolded the paper clutched in her hand.
“Plan”
Beginning with a simple, two-letter word that only Cordia could understand, her plan was clearly defined step by step.
「Plan 1.」
No, there were several plans at all.
“From now on, the first thing we must do is…”
When she tried to explain by showing her paper so that her younger siblings could see it, her younger siblings tilted their heads. Only then did Cordia clear her throat cutely, realizing that her plan was full of her own code.
“So…”
Her two younger siblings were already paying attention to her wonderful older sister, and Cordia went on, relieved.
“Sound, what can I do? I’m going crazy wondering what you’re talking about!”
“Calm down, Eugene. It was you, Eugene, who decided not to intervene unless it was really urgent. That’s why we temporarily removed the voice collection function this year in order to conduct close-to-surveillance observations.”
“Are you curious too? No?!”
“I’m curious, but… For now, let’s watch as Kaya said.”

‘Then we’ll keep doing this, Rudy, you pick up the beanie.’
‘Me, me?’
‘Huh. It starts with you coming to pick me up after having a fight with Vinnie. Did your sister tell you before? Never force it.’
‘Huh… But what do mom and dad say when they see it?’
‘It will be fine.’
‘Huh?’
‘It will be quiet for at least a few hours. So it’s okay.’
What my dad, mom, and sister say is right and right.
It was an old idea of Ludikia (3 years old). She said that if all three of them were saying different things, she would think a little and eventually be in her father’s arms, but since she had never had such a thing in her life (3 years old), it was nothing for her to worry about.
In other words, this time, what her sister says is right and will be right, so it’s good to follow it as it is.
Ludikia wondered why it was okay not to care about her father and mother, at least for now, and why it was so important for her to take care of her youngest child, but she didn’t bother revealing it and decided to do as Cordia told her to. Did.
Having judged that, the important thing now was to carry out Cordia’s plan well. She didn’t like that she had to reach out to her hand first, and she didn’t even know how to talk and bring her ‘well’ at this moment…
“What my sister said…”
Still, if I do what Cordia said, won’t it work somehow?
Ludikia thought so, but she continued walking the short distance to Vinia’s room. Just as it is difficult for her to solve the problem right away by learning the formula, it was because she heard of Cordia’s plan, but Ludikia’s old feelings did not dissolve at once.
“…”
He came and went, hesitantly, but he still proceeded little by little, and eventually arrived in front of Vinia’s door. Ludicia’s small hand squeezed in front of the doorknob. Even though I had come this far, I was hesitant to open the door.
Let’s open
Wait for a sec. Grab her by the handle and the youngest would know right away. Then he can’t back down. He still couldn’t decide what to say.
… So why don’t you open it?
No. How long are you going to hesitate about this? Dad and mom, who must have been disappointed because of me and the youngest fight, and my older sister, who must have been busy since last night, would be even more disappointed when they see that we prepared so hard from the morning, no. In the end, it’s something you have to do… No, she blurted it out and what if the youngest kept locking herself in her room for no reason.
Ludichia is at this moment, her whole life she’s heard about a month ago when her mom said that if she resisted wanting to eat more of her snacks on weekdays, she’d let her eat twice that on a day of light. I felt the greatest worries and anguish once again.
‘Nevertheless, I have to do it.’
Although Ludikia was a cute 3 year old, she was a grown child. She knew, if not as much as Cordia, that she recognized which was more important, and that she was not one to throw things away just because she was not feeling well.
Like the great step of an astronaut who left her first footprint on the moon, the moment Ludikia takes her last step to grab the handle of her door.
Kiik-
“…”
“…”
“… Sister?”
The door is open.
From inside.
**
I wondered why so many people watch the last drama. However, it was quite common for dramas called “End-of-war” To have higher viewership ratings than dramas that were said to be “Well-made” Or “Masterpieces”.
There could be many reasons, but that was the most important one.
Fun, anticipation, and excitement.
Eugene, who anxiously watched her daughters’ actions and prepared to jump out at any time, suddenly clenched her fists and brought her upper body closer to the screen. Of course, it was not at all that the daughters’ actions contained the cruelty of the last drama… It was just what he said, though.
‘I’m very excited.’
‘I know.’
‘Whoa…’
And it was his wives who quietly sighed or shook their heads as they watched Eugene’s back. But even they couldn’t deny that when Ludikia arrived at Vinia’s door after hesitating for a long time, she was careful not to even swallow, and concentrated so hard that she forgot to breathe when the door suddenly opened from the inside.
“Let’s restore it.”
“Yes?”
“Voice collection function.”
“… Will it?”
They, who have become like viewers who are excited about future developments, finished their self-justification, saying that it would be more helpful to watch properly after the work is over.
**
“…”
“…”
The awkward silence continued in Vinia’s room, to the dismay of re-enabling the voice collection function that some polarized viewers had disabled. It was to the point of checking again to see if the voice collection function was properly activated.
“Excuse me…”
“That…”
“You do it first.”
“Sister, first…”
“You first…”
“Sister distant…”
As the voices that had barely broken the silence overlapped, silence came again. All in all, the atmosphere was even more awkward because these two were Vinia, the least talkative, and Ludicia, the next least talkative.
However, unlike usual, neither could maintain silence for long. Ludikia had to follow her sister’s instructions, and Vinia was about to leave her room for reasons of her own.
It was Ludikia who broke the second silence first.
“Binnie.”
When Ludikia called her by her nickname instead of her name, Vinia flinched for a second. It didn’t mean anything bad. It was because she thought it had been a long time since Rudy’s older sister called her by her nickname. It was a good sound. It seemed that the stiff and awkward air that had been going on even before the big argument the other day was softening at once. Vinia focused on her sister’s words.
“This time, I… It was bad.”
“…”
“Sorry.”
“… !”
Vinia’s little ears poked above her, staring through her sister’s mouth as she wiggled her hands and kept her mouth shut. It was the reaction of someone who was surprised to hear something unexpected. Ludikia looked at it and involuntarily pouted her lips. It’s like she’s a bad kid who can’t apologize. No matter how bad she was for a while… And even though she had hesitated to even open the door until just a moment ago, she still does.
Vinia also asked if she had anything to say, but Ludikia brushed off her main business first.
“… Her older sister goes to her room.”
“Eldest sister?”
“Together.”
Vinia immediately recognized the meaning of her words that Ludikia dared to add. Even her hidden meaning.
It was Binia who felt sorry for her older sisters when her emotions were temporarily relieved after a fight. She usually doesn’t talk much, but she’s also a timid and introverted personality, so it’s the first time she’s had a big fight like this, so when she’s at a loss on how to reconcile… She was surprised and delighted when her sister came first and said she was sorry. I’m sorry too, for being too sensitive. The thing she likes about her dad is that she’s not the only one, but she’s the youngest subject and she’s been so selfish, she wanted to say.
But today, the day after I talked to my dad, my older sister sent her second sister.
Holding hands with her second sister in front of her dad and mom and laughing hee hee, Dad! Mom! We reconciled.
Because. The fact that my eldest sister called me separately like this meant that we had something to talk about first, and that was not a trivial matter.
“But what were you trying to say?”
Could it be that even her older sister, who is affectionate, kind, and knowledgeable, has been deeply disappointed? Is it so serious that her eldest sister calls her out and scolds her? Vinia’s thoughts were cut off as she imagined what Cordia would say to scold her. At Ludikia’s gaze, Vinia shook her head. She even forgot what she was going to say, and she thought that if her older sister called, she’d better go even a second faster.
Vinia got up and headed for her door, and Ludikia got up too. Perhaps thanks to her sense of liberation that she had to say what she had to say, her Ludikia behavior had become considerably lighter than before. The distance between the two was also very narrow, as if they never fought.
Vinia realized that too, but her child’s head was already full of her older sister’s scolding, and she was not genuinely happy.
Now Vinia hesitates as she goes to Ludikia’s room.
But unlike Ludikia, who was alone, Ludikia was by her side now. With a quick glance, she doesn’t even seem like she’s going to get scolded… ?
As she did so, she arrived at the room of Ludikia, Eoyoungbuyeong. Ludikia, who was glancing at Vinia, who was trying to find out what was going on in her room with her head slightly lowered and her ears pricked, opened the door abruptly. Vinia lifted her head in surprise and…
“Why are you so late?”
“To…”
“Eh, come quickly and help me.”
Despite their determination, the two children entered the room as if bewitched by Cordia’s gesture, which was making something with her dainty hands.
