Chapter 192 – Part 1
Woong-woong-
The presence of the mobile phone vibrating in the palm of my hand was so clear.
It was so clear that cold sweat ran down my spine and my heart was beating fast in a different way than before.
And he knew this feeling, this feeling.
How can I forget this special feeling that the vibration itself feels cool.
Back in the days when he was still just a kid, the things that used to drive him into fear every day when his report card came out were reviving after several years in a slightly different form.
I didn’t really commit a crime, but I should say that I feel like I’ve committed a huge sin.
The timing was so perfect that anyone could mistakenly install a surveillance camera and monitor it.
Of course, that’s not possible.
It’s just… The timing is just unlucky.
He must have been busy working in the middle of the day, and now he must have checked the text message he sent earlier and called.
“Uh… Mom? Why?”
I’m sure it would be, but I couldn’t help but let the awkward voice come out of my mouth because of my needlessly beating fast.
Fortunately, it seems that he was right in calling because he was worried about Yuhan’s condition.
Seeing as you ask about Yuhan’s condition, that’s undoubtedly the case.
So I calmly conveyed the situation in my own way.
Of course, he did not forget that he bought porridge and medicine.
It wasn’t because she wanted to be praised by her mother for doing well, or because she did it.
It was just to ease her mother’s worries a little.
ㅡReally? Phew… My daughter is all grown up. She also takes care of her sick sister.
Fortunately, it seemed to have worked, and a sigh full of relief came out from the phone’s speaker.
A little praise was a bonus.
In a way, I just did what I had to do, but it felt a little strange to be praised for it.
It was all the more so because he had a history of having strange thoughts about Yuhan.
“No, what am I going to do? It’s so difficult to buy porridge and some medicine.”
So I stopped and made a blunt voice.
I couldn’t help it.
If you don’t do that, it seems like you can’t help this embarrassing and awkwardness that is heating up her face before you know it.
ㅡIn my mother’s eyes, Gina, you and Yuhan are still children. My mother is Sena, and I can still remember the way Yuhan teased and harassed me.
“No, when was the story…”
When dealing with her mom, this was a problem.
Since I know all about the dark history of this side, I sometimes bring it up out of nowhere casually, but every time I do, I get embarrassed enough to make my face heat up.
Just like right now.
However, it is difficult to deny that
‘Because it’s true…’
It was.
She once teased and bullied Yuhan.
It’s been more than 10 years now, but it was definitely like that then.
It was because he was jealous of Yuhan.
To be precise, I was afraid that Yuhan, who suddenly popped out one day, would take away my mother’s attention and my place.
At the age of 12, even in his own eyes, Yuhan as a little kid was not enough to hold on to someone’s love, and he had a lovely appearance that overflowed.
He was docile and quiet, different from Mr.
Of course, I naturally realized later that that calmness and quietness were the aftermath of losing someone important to me… But anyway, that was the case at the time.
‘Ha···’
It didn’t feel so good to be faced with the dark history of the past without thinking about it.
More than anything, I was ashamed and embarrassed that I felt like going crazy.
At the same time, I felt slightly sorry for Yuhan.
Since it was so long ago, maybe Yuhan doesn’t even remember it, but that doesn’t mean that the actions he did to Yuhan at that time were nothing.
ㅡGina?
“Sister? Well? Looking at it, where did you go?”
If you’re in the room, there’s no way it’s been this quiet.
He must have gone somewhere for a while.
It seems like he’s been filming a lot of videos with fitness YouTubers lately, but is that part of why he left without a rumor today?
ㅡYes…? Umm…
“If it’s because of Yuhan, I’ll go up and look into it from time to time, so don’t worry too much.”
It was all because of feeling sorry for Yuhan that he dared to step forward and do troublesome things in response to his mother’s voice full of difficulties.
‘What about a day…’
-Will you? I’ll try to get her mom to leave work as early as possible…
“Yes, yes, but don’t overdo it.”
Mom faithfully kept what she said in the phone call that ended like that.
She usually had to be ten o’clock, so she thought that she would be back soon, because the person who used to leave work late at night came back before eight o’clock.
“Are you here? You got off work early.”
“Yeah, what about Yuhan?”
“I went up earlier to check, and he said he was sleeping?”
“Really? Dinner pills? Did you take them?”
“Maybe you haven’t eaten yet?”
“Really? Sena and you?”
“Huh? Me? I’m fine, so why do I take medicine?”
Where the hell is that funny?
With her hand slightly covering her mouth, she giggled and stared blankly at her mother, and she soon understood why.
“Supper, not medicine. Did you eat?”
“Ah.”
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”
One of the shopping bags, which I thought must have belonged to Yuhan, was gently pushed out.
“This is a reward given by a mother to my daughter who worked hard to take care of her sick younger sister today.”
“No, I don’t need this…”
As soon as I said that, my stomach, belatedly aware of my hunger, made a growling sound without even noticing.
Why is this timing?
“Really?”
She accepted her shopping bag from her mother, who grinned as she felt her face heat up.
“That’s because I have the sincerity I bought…”
“Yeah, I bought the ones you like, so eat them before they cool down.”
“Yes.”
“Mom, I’ll go see Yuhan first.”
“Yes.”
That’s how her mother spread her small footsteps everywhere and she went up to the third floor where Yuhan’s room was.
Inside the shopping bag were the signature menu of a homemade burger house that she used to order from time to time during broadcasts, French fries sprinkled with hot seaweed that had just been fried, and milkshakes.
And next to it, even the dessert to eat after the meal was perfectly equipped.
She packed them carefully and went up to her room, thinking she was just right for the mouth-watering combination.
When Senna crawled into the room and carefully began to unpack the items in her shopping bag to finish her meal quickly before the broadcast, Ga-young, who had just entered Yuhan’s room, felt a slight but strange feeling and carefully lay down on the bed. Moved towards the finite
Is it because Yuhan’s room is located in such a remote place?
Or was it because he was worried about Yuhan and left work several hours earlier than usual?
I simply came home earlier than usual, but for some reason I felt as if I had heard the news that my lover was ill and came to visit me in the hospital.
‘Hey, lovers…’
She was momentarily perplexed by the thoughts that spontaneously entered her head, but she quickly shook her head to shake off the useless thoughts that were trying to settle in her head, and then she carefully sat on the edge of her bed. I sat down on her ass.
Looking down at the face of Yuhan, who was soundly asleep, relying on the dim light coming through the window, I felt somehow cute.
“Whoops…”
Did Sena buy that and put it on her forehead?
The grinning teddy bear pattern subtly matched Yuhan.
So she couldn’t believe it.
She couldn’t readily believe that the ‘man’ who had put her in so much trouble and Yuhan, who had been unknowingly lost in front of her eyes, were the same person.
He’s such a lovely child when he’s asleep… But when he asked for something, he couldn’t ask for it.
Especially when he clings to himself uncharacteristically and vigorously shakes his waist and pokes his insides, really—
“… Oops!”
My, what am I thinking right now…
I couldn’t be worried, but I was thinking strange thoughts about a sick child… It was hard to believe that I had acted like that even though it must have been my own act because I didn’t know it would happen.
So it was embarrassing.
Embarrassed, his face became angry and hot.
Sena said that she slept all day without taking any medicine, so she had to wake up Yuhan, who was asleep, to give her medicine and the porridge she bought on the way home from work, but she couldn’t move her hand.
It was because when I met Yuhan’s gaze now, this embarrassment that was making my face hot in real time would only increase.
“Whoa…”
It was for this reason that he took deep breaths over and over again.
If I didn’t do that, it seemed that the heat that had settled on my face and my heart that had started beating at a strange rhythm would not calm down before I knew it.
‘Really···’
As he tried to calm himself down somehow, he felt like Yuhan once again.
Someone is so embarrassed because of him, but he doesn’t know that and sleeps so calmly.
He resented Yuhan for reviving things he had long forgotten and thought he would never feel again.
I was resentful… But I couldn’t be resentful.
Recently, whenever I see Yuhan, my heart’s beating and beating strangely couldn’t be said to be solely Yuhan’s fault.
Yes, in the end… The one who committed the greatest sin is himself.
If he had not collapsed in the face of Yuhan’s attack and kept his heart firm, then things would not have turned out this way, and his heart would not have been beating so fast and strangely whenever he saw Yuhan.
So this is what you did wrong.
‘But···’
I couldn’t help it.
How can I survive
Such a lovely child, a child whom he sincerely regarded and cared for as a son, confronts his heart so earnestly. No matter how many times he refuses, he does not give up and whispers that he loves him. Who the hell can not break down in front of such a thing?
‘Really···’
So, all he could do at this moment was… Lightly tapping his finger on Yuhan’s forehead, which was covered with a sheet with a bear pattern on it.
“Um…”
Maybe the feeling of fingers tapping on my forehead was annoying.
As if he was eating something, he munched his lips eagerly and tightened his eyebrows so that even the way he trembled his eyebrows was lovely, so he seemed to be seriously ill.
To deny such a thing by saying that it is not so.
Now that I think about it, it was literally something a child would do.
Thinking of the hurt that Yuhan must have suffered because of her actions made her heart throb anew.
‘Really···’
What should I do now?
The moment I thought about it, what came to my mind was the words Yuhan had whispered during their relationship.
-From now on… I want to be in charge of my aunt.
Responsibility is usually a woman’s share, but Yuhan had said that to herself.
Can I believe that…
“…Auntie, can I trust you?”
I couldn’t be sure.
She couldn’t be sure, so she couldn’t help but ask a question for no reason, even though she knew that there was no way for Yuhan to answer her soundly asleep.
“Really… Are you going to take care of your aunt?”
It must have been the moment when he asked a question that could never be asked against Yuhan who was so awake.
What is this doing with a sleeping child.
It’s a cowardly and absurd act to think of yourself, so you’re laughing inwardly—
“Yes.”
A voice that I thought I couldn’t hear flowed into my ears.
“I’ll take responsibility.”
Yuhan’s outstretched hand grasped her finger, which had been placed on top of her long nose.
“Forever.”
The tip of her finger, which was guided by her finite hand and went down to where her mouth was, made a soft, soft “Side… ♡” Sound and touched it lovingly.
