Chapter 366 – Chapter 366 Memories… Complete
As time passed, the children were growing up without delay.
And with no intention of waiting for the growing children, my women continued to conceive and stamped the children like a factory.
Because of this, even though they are my lovely children, once in a while I forget the names of children who have just come out of the world.
So, I memorized only the children’s names like crazy as if they were the answers to an important test in my life, and only recently I was able to speak the children’s names correctly without getting confused.
Anyway, I deliberately set up a big house and live together, but since there are so many children and each has to have a room, I’m thinking about moving.
On the weekend, Nayoung and I went out alone for the first time in a while.
I put Nayoung in her passenger seat and ran happily down the road.
“Hmm… I think it’ll be fine here too. How is it?”
Without any plan, I ran on the road without any plan, deciding where Nayoung would go to play.
Then, when she found a place that looked good to play, she opened the screen and held out her smart phone to me while driving.
A momentary mistake saved me and Nayoung’s life, so I didn’t take my eyes off the front, but when I received a signal and stopped, I was able to look at Nayoung’s smartphone screen.
On the screen, it was like a small pool villa with a swimming pool.
A place that doesn’t seem like a bad place to hang out lightly.
“Where is it?”
“I heard that Gangneung, Gangwon-do?”
“Gangneung, Gangwon-do…?”
It’s pretty far.
Even though I was planning to spend 2 days and 1 night anyway, the time it took to go back and forth was considerable.
During that time, listen to other places more.
It’s a pity, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t bothersome, but it was an atmosphere where Nayoung wanted to go there, so I nodded her head countless times.
“Not bad. Do you want to go?”
“Yes! Let’s go!”
Her incoming thoughts and feelings were completely different, but when asked with a positive response, Nayoung answered with a bright smile.
She is already a married woman with two daughters, but she doesn’t know how she is still childlike and cute.
Also, her appearance was still fresh, so people wouldn’t suspect that she was a girl.
Anyway, when I heard her answer that she wanted to go there, I immediately manipulated the navigation and searched for the location.
Fortunately, it was searched at once, and the navigator immediately started giving directions.
“Maybe it’s Gangwon-do, so it takes a long time.”
I already knew it would take a long time to arrive, but it took even longer than expected.
Looking at the enormous amount of time displayed there, I felt a sense of rejection again, but I tried to shake her head, grab the steering wheel, and step on the accelerator.
The car continued to move forward without stopping.
“Uh…?”
When I arrived in a shabby neighborhood, I inadvertently couldn’t hold back my exclamation.
It had never happened before, but it was so familiar.
“What’s going on?”
Seeing me like this, Nayoung asked a question in a voice full of questions, but I stopped the car without answering.
Then he got out of the car and began to look around the neighborhood carefully.
“…”
I couldn’t remember at first, but when I started to look closely, I started to remember where this place was in detail.
At first, I tried to avoid it, and I did not even think about stepping into it, thinking about what to do if I go back to the original place.
A town that has been completely forgotten in my head as time goes by and I can’t look away.
Right before returning, it was the neighborhood where I got my own room and lived.
“If it’s a memory, is it a memory again…?”
As if I had taken a picture, there was nothing wrong with the image that existed in my memory.
It feels like it’s not just a simple memory, it’s just what you’re seeing right now.
I took out my smartphone just in case.
Then again.
“It’s today.”
Today was the day I returned.
To be precise, after returning, it would be a state where a little time has passed.
“Nayeong-ah. There is a reed stand for a while. Can we go there first?”
Nayoung nodded her head with a bright smile despite my sudden falling into a strange place after coming to play together.
She was chasing after me without asking what was going on or where she was.
She couldn’t help but be in a run-down neighborhood where there was no place for a noble, beautiful, pure woman like her.
It’s unlikely to happen in reality, but it’s a neighborhood that looks like crimes will happen often.
I kept moving toward my destination, and soon my steps stopped.
A shabby two-story one-room building in front of my stopped steps caught my eye.
Will people live in it? It was shabby enough to be called ruins to the point where suspicion arose, but I started going up to the second floor without hesitation.
What a profit! Kiki…! Hey hey!
Every time I climbed the stairs, the stairs made a grotesque sound that gave me goosebumps.
Even though it is broad daylight with the bright sun shining down, the surroundings feel cool for no reason.
“Here it is…”
I stood in front of room 203 on the second floor of a shabby one-room building.
Really. As soon as I saw this front door, the faint memories came to my mind as if they burst right away.
The condition of the door was like this. Amid all my thoughts, I reached for the window right next to the door.
Before returning, I used to put the key in the window frame after I lost it once, but is it still there?
No, I put my hand in to see if there are people like that here too.
“Is there…?”
There really was a key.
It’s more than just weird, it’s a bit creepy.
“Jihun?”
I couldn’t find the key, so I immediately put it in the doorknob and turned it. When the door opened, Nayoung called me from behind in a voice filled with perplexity.
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
I reassured her by telling her it was okay and went into her room.
Compared to the house I currently live in, the shoe cabinet was too small for me.
In addition, when I checked the size, which was so small that I could see the entire interior of room 203 in the shoe cabinet, a smile came out.
Now that I think about it, I don’t know how I ever lived here.
And in the memory that came back after laughing, I was speechless at the scenery of the room that hadn’t changed at all.
What is it This. Is another me living here?
Only strange and absurd speculations were constantly pushed in, and fear came in, and even the anticipation that I might be able to meet the me before returning.
Neither positive nor negative emotions came in at the same time.
“Uh…? What is it? Why is it open?”
Just then, the owner of the house heard a voice of embarrassment at the sight of the front door of his house wide open.
“Who, who is it?”
I was frightened, but I thought I couldn’t let it out, so I went straight outside the front door and looked inside.
“Hello?”
I don’t know who it is, but Nayoung, who mistook me for someone I had a face-to-face with just because I came here, smiled and nodded her head.
Then the man who saw such a pretty woman in real life lost his words for a moment and started staring blankly at Nayoung’s face.
I was looking at him like that.
Haha!”
Laughter flowed out.
“It wasn’t… It wasn’t…”
Even the appearance of the room was perfectly worn from before I returned, so I made a ridiculous guess, but it didn’t happen either.
I laughed in relief when I saw someone with a look I had never seen before, and then bowed my head with a smile on her face.
“Sorry. I mistook the room. I thought it was someone’s house, of course, because the key was always there.”
Showing the key and talking, it was only then that he understood how he had opened the door and entered.
“Here you go.”
“Ah yes…”
I went to the man and handed him the key.
And with one piece of advice.
“From now on, don’t leave the key on the window frame. What are you going to do if someone sees and steals it?”
“…”
It was a sincere advice, but it doesn’t really matter since there’s no place to rob it even if a thief breaks in.
“I’m sorry anyway.”
As an apology, I handed him the entire wad of money from my wallet.
“…?!”
As soon as he saw the bundle of money, he opened his eyes wide, and when the money bundle was held out to him, he was surprised again in turn.
“It means an apology, so please accept it.”
A normal person would have refused at first, but he accepted the money without a second thought.
“Sorry.”
I apologized again and tried to leave the room with Nayoung.
“No. Hehe. You can come anytime!”
He answered with a smile that he could come more.
If it was me before the regression, I’m sure I would have reacted the same as that man.
Someone is taking the place where I should be…
What did he say about this There was a saying I used at a time like this, but I didn’t remember it, but it wasn’t that important, so I passed it over.
While going down the stairs. Like a kaleidoscope, the memories before and after the return were quickly passing through my head.
There were happy things and there were not happy things, but none of them had meaningless memories.
All memories are what made me here today, so no matter how bad the memories were, they came to me as precious.
And i
“Shall we go?”
“Huh…!”
I held out her hand to Nayoung, and she took my hand right away without hesitation and moved her steps.
Today, I was living a day to build precious memories.
